Chapter 1815 The God of Nightmare
Text Chapter 1815: God of Nightmare
Above the cloister, the building protrudes toward the lake. There is the second floor of the building, located between the lake and the giant trees.
On the right side of the corridor, there is a staircase leading to the second floor. From below, you can see that at the end of the staircase is a stone door, which blocks the room on the second floor. There is a line written in crooked characters on it: Only free elves are allowed to enter the home. These words are all written in English, shining silver light on the stone gate.
"That's the door!" Sirius said, pointing his wand at the stone door above the stairs. "I tried several spells but couldn't open it. The magic of the house-elf is left on it."
"What does this sentence mean?" Harry asked full of doubts. He turned his head to look at the lake outside the corridor from time to time, and the magic power from there felt too obvious.
"Maybe literally." Hermione frowned. "Remember what the house-elf demon said? The ancient house-elves were very disgusted with the fact that they lost to wizards and became subordinate races. If their home is behind the door, Then they only allow free house-elves in. That is, only house-elves who don't have masters are allowed."
"Elf without a master..."
"Hermione is exactly what I think, and Dobby just meets the requirements. As far as I know, he may be the only free house-elf in the wizarding world. If there are house-elves verifying the door Magic, when there are so many ratios in the past, the above magic will definitely work." Sirius said.
"Dobby is willing to oblige, sir, but Dobby doesn't know what to do."
"You stand in front of the door and try it out." Sirius continued, "Or just like when you were outside just now, touch that stone door with your finger, and it might open."
"Dobby doesn't feel that way!" Dobby shook his head and said, "Only the house-elves above were talking to Dobby, and Dobby could hear them clearly. They were expressing kindness. There was something here that made Dobby feel Very comfortable strength." Although he still pressed Hermione tightly, his ears were not as tight as before, and he began to look around cautiously.
"Goodwill? That's good news."
"Have you noticed?" Hermione found something, she pointed to the stone door above and said, "The words on the door are in English, not ancient runes, which means that these words were left by the later house elves. Later, another house elf came here and sealed the stone gate, and that elf may have lived with wizards for a while, so he used English."
"It is indeed possible."
"Could it be Dodo, Hufflepuff's house-elf, who left this line?"
"Once you open the stone gate, everything will become clear. There is no point in continuing to speculate." Sirius said impatiently, "Dobby, you go over there and try it. You are a free house-elf. The magic of verification, your past tense will definitely work.
Under the watchful eyes of the three, Dobby trembled and slowly climbed the steps to the stone door.
No response!
He touched the stone door with his hand, but there was still no response. Dobby turned his head to look at the three of them uncertainly, his big eyes filled with bewilderment and panic.
"Only free house elves can pass, you have to prove that you are a free elf, Dobby, you can try to shout 'I am a free elf', maybe it will work." Hermione suggested road.
"Okay, Miss Granger, Dobby is a free house-elf." Dobby took a deep breath and said loudly, "Dobby is a free elf."
As soon as his voice fell, Shimen trembled and fell backwards, making a violent noise.
Amidst Dobby's screams, Harry, Hermione, and Sirius rushed up the stairs.
Behind the stone door is a small room, the most striking thing is a vertical pipe in the middle, one end of which is connected to the platform in the center of the room, and the other end leads straight up to the inside of the giant tree. On the raised platform in front of the table, there is a thick magic book.
"Is this the home of the house-elves?"
"What's with that pipe?"
"There may be some information revealed in this book!" Hermione said, stepping forward to carefully identify the words on the book, "It's an ancient rune, and the title of the book is "The Tree of Death: Eternal Dreams."
She tried to turn the pages of the book, but this time, the book didn't decay and dissipate.
"This is a book on alchemy!" Hermione flipped through a few pages, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, Harry, Sirius, and Dobby approach the tubes of the platform.
"This pipe seems to be used to send something up or down." Sirius said uncertainly, he leaned out and looked inside, "The inside is empty, and there are many spell runes drawn... "
"Could that tree up there be home to house-elves," said Harry, tugging nervously at Sirius' robes for fear that something might happen to him. The elves were sent up through here?"
"There is such a possibility!"
"This place is really strange, who the hell is going to hang a house-elf on a tree, what's the point of doing that?!"
"I seem to understand what's going on." Hermione said suddenly, still flipping through the spellbook in front of her, "The giant tree above is indeed the home of house-elves. Alchemy items, which Hufflepuff once modified."
"What are you talking about, Hermione, is there anything in the book?"
"This book systematically introduces this alchemy, that is, this giant tree and the lake below are all constructed using ancient alchemy." Hermione said excitedly, "The lake is the source of magic power. The purpose of this tree is to create a new world!"
"Create a new world?"
"Yes, an eternal dream world... not just these!" Hermione said, her tone was also full of unprecedented surprise, "This is a magic beyond imagination, and it also involves the method of becoming an evil god."
"Cthulhu?!" Harry and Sirius looked at her in shock. They couldn't believe how they got involved with the evil god.
"It's not the God of Devourer and God of Death that I've seen before. This is a new evil god. To be precise, it should be the God of Nightmare." Hermione turned the book to a certain page, pointed to the words on it and said, "You Look here, an ancient warlock created this giant tree, this is a different space connected to dreams, he has eternal life in it, he can gain power by devouring other people's dreams and creating nightmares. He is the master of dreams !"
This is incredible!
