The curved capital letter S, the unique emblem of the Slytherin family. In the history of magic for thousands of years, this ancient family of pure-blood wizards had a profound impact on the progress and development of the magic world, and the most famous figure among them was Salazar Slytherin.
Undoubtedly, he was a great wizard, but also the craziest.
"Damn it, I should have thought earlier that it was that old lunatic Salazar Slytherin. Who else would have left such a dangerous thing near Hogwarts besides him."
Ivan suddenly thought about the past experience of Salazar Slytherin...
Since he was able to leave a basilisk in the secret room of the castle, it is not impossible for him to hide other strange dark creatures in the Forbidden Forest.
Although Ivan believes that Salazar himself has no malice towards Hogwarts.
However, his dark personality, and his obsession and research on black magic, this matter itself is extremely dangerous.
"Ten years later, we finally destroyed all the statues in the cave!" Click click, after describing the statues in detail, Aragog said slowly, "I still remember that in the last The night after the statue was destroyed, there was a big earthquake in the lair, like the end of the world, everything was shaking, the rock walls began to shatter, the ground sank, and spring water gushed out from the ground, and finally formed the deep pit in front of you ..."
Ivan clutched his forehead weakly, Salazar Slytherin and the unknown dark creature were enough to cause headaches, and these acromantia were also worrying. Those statues were obviously magic arranged by Salazar, and their function was probably to seal this unknown evil creature deep underground, hiding it from being discovered by outsiders.
And these giant eight-eyed spiders actually spent ten years destroying the foundation of this sealing magic in the most primitive and rude way...
If Salazar knew that the spell he was proud of was actually cracked by a group of low-level non-human magical creatures in this way, he would definitely come to them to settle accounts with anger.
"Since then, as long as I fall asleep here, I can hear a voice whispering to me. It tells me that it is the god in charge of death and eternal life. Only by believing in it and dedicating my soul can I Get redemption." Click click, Aragog's weird voice echoed in the dark cave, "I don't believe it, unlike you humans, acromantula does not need redemption. But I was already very old at that time, Calculated by the life of the acromantula, I may die at any time. I began to fall into a deep sleep more and more frequently. In my sleep, the voice promised to make me stronger and even escape death. This is a deal ..."
"Since it's a transaction, what does it need you to do?" Ivan asked.
"It needs sacrifices, many sacrifices, and it needs the souls of creatures to restore its strength." Aragog said, "I order my children to bring back the captured prey and throw them into this pit. They are desperate I died alone in the darkness, and my soul was devoured by it. In return, it instilled power in me in my sleep, which is the dark power that acromantula likes, and can help me continue my life and continue to live. I don’t want to die, it Helped me get my wish. I never told anyone about it, not even Hagrid, who thought I lived so long under his loving care..."
Aragog seemed to be tired and said nothing for a long time.
Ivan didn't urge him either, he could imagine such a picture.
Year after year, day after day, in order to continue Aragog's life, the acromantulas dragged the animals they captured from the Forbidden Forest to the depths of the ground and here.
The prey thought they could escape the fate of being killed and devoured, but the reality was even more cruel.
Trapped in this place, they gradually fell into despair in the endless darkness.
There is no food, no light, and no hope here.
As long as they fell asleep, the low whispers kept echoing in their ears, driving them crazy.
They woke up, panicked and tried to run away, but there was nowhere to go.
They resisted not going to sleep, but their spirits became more depressed and distorted.
Just like the murals carved on the rock walls behind them, they trembled in the dark with fear, their souls were tortured and screamed silently.
I don't know when it started, the preys began to believe in the voice whispering in their ears, believed in its words, and slowly put down their guard and fell asleep into a dream.
In their sleep, their souls were devoured by that monster bit by bit until they were destroyed...
No matter how you look at it, this is an extremely evil and terrifying thing.
"As I said just now, I don't believe it, I can feel its malice." Click click, Aragog began to speak again, slowly as if he had lost much breath, "I told you once, I refused The request of the dark wizard named Voldemort, who refused to join him in the war of mankind, although he offered a very, very good reward. Likewise, I don't need the great power promised by the voice in my sleep, because this It was useless to me, I did what Hagrid taught me, restrained my instincts, did not harm humans and restrained my children. In the next twenty years, I controlled the number of prey and only gave it Offer the least amount of sacrifices in exchange for my survival..."
Although the acromantula is a completely dark creature, they are evil, bloody, cruel, and difficult to tame, but Buckbeak in front of him is indeed different.
It has to be admitted that Hagrid played a big role in this. If it weren't for the reason it shouldn't have, and its gratitude to Hagrid, which delayed the time for this ancient creature to wake up, the Forbidden Forest would not know what it would look like.
Of course, they also avoided their own death to a certain extent.
Aiwen can be sure that if Dumbledore's attention is caught, he will definitely not sit idly by, and these acromantids may have become extinct long ago.
"According to what you said, that monster should be very weak, and can only talk to you when you are asleep." Ai Wen wondered, "But what I saw and experienced just now is not what you said. totally different."
"Just a few months ago, everything changed, on the night that your fire burned my children to death." Click, click, Aragog speeded up the speed of dancing his pincers, with a clear voice A trace of resentment, "They were burned to death by you, but their souls were devoured by that monster. Its power has increased, and it is out of my control, and I don't need to offer sacrifices to it. Even if it doesn't fall into a deep sleep, it can still hear it." Sound, it began to affect my children, bewitching them..." (To be continued.)
