Because of the proximity to the running water, the air nearby is very humid.
Except for Margaret, all the other centaurs stayed on the other side of the lake and did not follow the stone platform in the water. Without permission, they could not approach the temple at will.
Sirius and Harry, Ron, and Hermione were whispering something, but Ivan did not participate in it.
He was still thinking about Professor Trelawney's prophecy, and the surrounding scene made him very disturbed.
"The centaurs are used to naming their temples after the names of planets." Sirius said, "There are centaur tribes and temples for worship and stargazing all over the world. There is little communication, but the names of these temples are never repeated."
"What's the name of this black temple?" Harry asked.
"They call this the Temple of the Moon!" Sirius pointed to the red moon hanging above his head, "Because it is suitable for observing the orbit of the moon, so it got its name. Because it is an early temple, it is very famous among the centaurs .If you meet centaurs in other places, just mention this, and they will know."
"It's not completely unique. There are two moon temples in the centaur world." Margaret interrupted, with irrepressible anger in his tone, "Those traitors who were exiled by the tribe in the past are here Another Moon Temple was built in another place, which is exactly the same as this one, but the enshrined things in it are completely different."
"So, there are still black temples like this one?" Aiwen asked.
"That's right, those traitors have defiled the sacred place, and the Moon Temple they built is full of evil and taboos." Margery pawed the ground angrily with his front hooves.
Hearing his words, Ivan felt a little relieved.
If there was nothing evil and forbidden in this dark temple before him, it was not the place Professor Trelawney spoke of.
He didn't think about it anymore, anyway, no matter what the situation was, he had to go in.
Through the dark and narrow entrance, Ivan followed Margaret and Sirius into the temple, Harry, Ron, and Hermione followed him, and everyone looked around curiously.
With the light of the torch, Aiwen saw the colorful murals carved on the wall.
These murals are a continuation of the carvings on the outer walls, most of which are related to stargazing by the centaur, and there are many orbits of stars.
Moving forward, the complex constellation pattern composed of stars occupies the entire space, even the ceiling and the marble slabs on the floor, making people dizzy for a while.
Only a real astrologer can understand the value of these complex patterns. The positions and movements of all the planets have been recorded here for thousands of years. Many of them are important star maps that human wizards have never noticed or have lost.
Ivan couldn't understand this, and the three people beside him, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, were even more skeptical, but this didn't prevent everyone from bursting out in amazement.
The passage kept going forward, and when turning a corner, a milky white thing suddenly drilled out of the wall and collided with Ivan. This is a ghost, not the wizard ghost that everyone often sees in the castle, but the ghost of the centaur ancestors.
His attire was not the same as that of the current centaur, he was tall and burly, wearing a rare set of scarred leather armor, like a soldier who had just returned from the bloody battlefield.
Ivan carefully observed the ghost of the centaur. This guy is the strongest centaur he has ever seen, almost as big as two Margeries, which is simply unbelievable.
If you had to describe him, he was a cross between a centaur and a troll.
While Ivan was looking at him, the centaur ghost was also looking back at them.
His eyes were full of suspicion, and he frowned and said something. The tone was very strange, and it was definitely not English. Everyone looked at each other and did not understand what he was saying.
Margaret hurriedly stepped forward and started talking with the other party.
"That is the language unique to the centaurs. It is very ancient and complex, and it is rarely used now." Sirius explained, "But it was very popular in the Middle Ages."
"That set of leather armor looks like a medieval style." Hermione analyzed, "He must have lived here for nearly a thousand years like Nearly Headless Nick."
"Nick knew all the ghosts, but he never told us about the centaur ghosts." Harry looked at him curiously, and said in a low voice, "Remember last year's Halloween party?! All the ghosts from all over the UK came , but there is no such guy."
"I think it's because I can't communicate, so I didn't invite him." Ron wrinkled his nose and guessed in a low voice, "Nick can't speak Centaur, can he?"
"The centaurs generally don't communicate with humans, even if they become ghosts." Sirius said, "This is the most sacred temple of the centaurs, and only the souls of the wisest elders and bravest warriors in the tribe can enter in."
"So there will be a lot of centaur ghosts here?" Ivan asked.
"Actually, not many." Margaret finished talking with the centaur ghost, and he came back just in time to hear Ivan's question, and replied briefly, "Because of the betrayers, we have suffered huge losses, As a result, the souls of many ancestors disappeared forever, and only the most powerful centaur remained. The one just now was Ugt, which means lofty mountains in the centaur language. He is the greatest warrior in the history of our tribe .”
"The greatest warrior, what did he do?" Ron asked suspiciously, "Killed many acromantulas?"
"He once slaughtered an adult dragon and there are many monsters you can't imagine." Margaret said gruffly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Ron's offense, "Humans, never underestimate the centaurs, we Possess a great power and civilization not weaker than yours."
The fire dragon is the most powerful and ferocious magical creature in existence. You have seen one in the underground of Gringotts, and you have been deeply shocked by the strength of the other party.
It was unimaginable that a centaur could kill a fire dragon by himself, even a powerful wizard could hardly do this.
The centaur ghost Uggt turned and left, and everyone looked at his back in awe.
"Let's go, don't make the elder wait too long." Margaret turned around and started again.
Everyone continued to move forward and entered a circular upward passage. On the outer side of the passage are circular rooms of different sizes, which are filled with many strange things, some of which are sacrificial items, but some things do not look so pleasant.
With the dim light of the torch, through the narrow gap of the stone gate, Aiwen saw many statues placed in the dark room.
Statues are all kinds of things, too far away to see clearly, but the appearance of this statue by the door is enough to shock everyone.
Ai Wen swallowed, and stopped in place in a daze, completely stunned.
Following his gaze, Ron glanced into the room curiously, and the next second, he let out a hoarse, terrified cry. (To be continued.)
