Since it is impossible to escape, the only choice is to face the so-called evil god.
Aiwen made up his mind and decided to face it calmly. He originally thought that the centaur elders would reveal some information and tell him the specific situation of the other party.
But unexpectedly, the other party did not speak again.
The old centaur and Margery standing beside him raised their heads and looked at the night sky quietly.
Following their gazes, Ivan noticed the unusually bright Mars and the bloody moon not far below.
After watching for a while, he looked at the crack in the statue again...
About twenty minutes later, Sirius, Harry, Ron, and Hermione hurried over, and they were also shocked by the huge statue in front of them.
Sirius was fine, he had already seen it once.
But it was indeed the first time for Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and they couldn't help talking.
This time, the centaur elder didn't intend to explain any more, he looked very tired, he didn't even say a word, he just waved his hand to signal Margaret.
"If you want to get the thing above, you must pass the test." Magarui said loudly, he stepped forward and pointed to an obsidian platform with intricate patterns in front of the huge statue, "Those who want to challenge just go and stand there."
This seems to be the core position of the magic arranged by Gryffindor. Except for the top item, Ivan can feel the strongest magic reaction there.
All the power from the stars is gathered here, and then sent to the top of the statue.
What Margaret said was simple, and Sirius explained the method in detail to everyone.
"It sounds very simple, as long as you stand on this platform, anyone can do it." Ron wrinkled his nose and said, "I thought I would fight the troll to prove my courage... .”
"It's a complex illusion magic, and you must show unparalleled courage in it to pass the test."
"I know, no matter what you see, as long as you don't be afraid!" Ron nodded and said, "It's not very difficult, is it?!"
Several people discussed in low voices, and since Ron volunteered, it was finally decided to let him go up and try first, followed by Hermione and Harry.
Ai Wen was the last one because he hoped the most.
Ron stared at the red halo above the statue with burning eyes, and couldn't wait to walk to the front platform, took a step and stood up.
In the next second, the red light group above flickered visibly.
Following the lines on the stone slab on the platform floor, countless bright rays of light gathered quickly from all directions.
The intricate patterns glowed brightly, and the ancient magic was activated.
Standing in the middle of the stone platform, Ron's expression was dull, his eyes full of confusion.
He seemed a little puzzled, and then became extremely frightened, as if he saw something terrifying.
His expression twisted, struggling, and extremely painful.
Ivan and the others all stared at Ron with nervous expressions. They didn't know what he saw in the phantom and why he showed such an expression.
Because of fear, Hermione involuntarily leaned against Ivan.
On the stone platform, Ron had persisted to the extreme, and he seemed to want to escape.
In the next second, a burst of cyan brilliance flashed, and he was ejected and fell outside the stone platform.
"Failed!" Margery said blankly.
"Ron, what did you see?" Everyone hurried over.
"It's a giant arachnid. There are thousands of them densely packed, and they all rushed towards me." Ron panted violently, with a tear in his voice, "I told myself not to be afraid, these are just illusions, all fake , but they are really biting me, trying to tear me apart, I want to escape, just..."
"This illusion magic is similar to Boggart, which can see through the deepest hidden fear in a person's heart, and then make it concrete." Sirius said, "Ron is afraid of spiders, and all he sees in it are eight eyes. giant spider."
"I, I thought the other party was a blogger. I used magic, but it didn't work." Ron said, his body was still shaking.
"It's not that simple. I said before that everything inside is real and will not be cracked by a magic. Your experience just now proves this again." Sirius repeated, "Whether you are inside What you see, they are all real illusions!"
The quality that Godric Gryffindor valued was courage. In the face of any difficulty, only by going forward bravely can he pass the test he left behind.
But it’s not just simply not being afraid. Sirius said that everything in that illusion is real, and reckless bravery is just asking for death.
"It's really hard. Those acromantulas wanted to tear me apart, and I even felt the pain from their bite on my thigh, which was exactly the same as the real thing." Ron said dejectedly, touching himself involuntarily right leg.
It was the place where he was bitten by the acromantula in the illusion.
"Okay, the next challenger." Margaret urged impatiently.
Ivan, Harry, and Hermione looked at each other, and then Hermione walked forward cautiously.
She was thinking about her worst fears, and on this occasion, if Professor McGonagall had come out and told her she had failed all her exams, it didn't seem very worrisome.
However, it must not be that simple.
Standing in front of the black stone platform, Hermione seemed hesitant, she turned her head to look at Ivan.
"Come on, Hermione!" Ivan walked over quickly and hugged Hermione tightly.
Feeling the temperature of Ivan's body, Hermione nodded, and walked up the stone with a reddish face, just like when Ron went up just now, a burst of light flashed.
Apart from being slightly surprised, Hermione's expression didn't change much.
Immediately, she frowned, her little face was full of seriousness, as if she was analyzing the questions left by the professor in class or reading a magic book.
"What do you think Hermione will encounter?" Harry asked uncertainly.
"I don't know. Apart from failing the exam, I can't imagine anything that would scare her." Ron took a deep breath and commented objectively, "To be honest, she has almost no weaknesses."
"I hope Hermione can succeed, otherwise I may see countless dementors or..." Harry didn't continue, his whole body was cold.
What would he do if he encountered Voldemort in a vision? !
As time passed, the expression on Hermione's face remained unchanged, but her frowning became longer and longer, as if she had encountered some unsolvable trouble.
Everyone looked at him nervously, and Ron was still muttering about acromantula.
From Hermione standing on the stone platform, more than half an hour passed, and finally a burst of cyan brilliance flashed, and Hermione was bounced off the stone platform.
"Failed!" said Hermione quietly, not much surprised.
"What did you see inside?" Everyone asked eagerly, "Acromantula, or Professor McGonagall?"
"Neither!" Hermione shook her head, "In the illusion, I returned to Hogwarts, back to the castle, and a male professor I had never seen before lectured to me in class and then asked me questions. ....." (To be continued.)
