Chapter 415 Centaur Ruins and Destroyers

Ai Wen was cold all over, and all the blood in his body seemed to turn into ice water.

His heart was beating violently, the death banshee heralded death, it suddenly appeared under his window, which meant that he...

He took out his wand distractedly, and before he could cast the spell, the banshee downstairs screamed and fled towards the woods at an astonishingly fast speed.

Soon, it disappeared into the thick fog.

Only those red, swollen and scary eyes remained, which lingered in Ivan's mind for a long time.

Affected by the evil god that suddenly appeared in the dream and the death banshee crying under the window in the early morning, Ivan was in a bad mood and couldn't get excited.

He didn't fully recover until he set off.

After breakfast, Sirius took Ivan to apparate into the depths of the woods.

This is the edge where they found out the location of the centaur ruins. Affected by the ancient magic in the ruins, no one can disapparate and can only walk in.

Along the way, looking at the unfamiliar scene in the woods, Ivan was cautious.

Sirius couldn't help but persuade him to relax, there was no need to be so nervous.

"Look at the tiny soft yellow flowers on those low bushes!" He pointed to a strangely shaped plant, trying to divert Ivan's attention from thinking about those messy things, "You haven't seen it before, have you? This plant is a specialty here, they only grow in the countries around the Mediterranean Sea, and the scientific name is..."

"Quercus cochineal!" Ivan looked up and continued, "I used this plant when I was making advanced interpretation potions. The market price per kilogram of weight is three gold galleons, and the processed one is five gold galleons. Long."

The appearance of Quercus cochineal is like a shrub or small tree.

It has off-white bark with spikes and is the national flower of Albania.

The rhizome of this flower is an essential material for making advanced potions. It is highly acidic and difficult to handle. It can only be used in potions classes above the fifth grade.

"It seems that you have indeed previewed the Potions textbook well in advance. With a student like you, Snotlite will be happy!" Sirius said a little embarrassed.

"He generally ignores me and Hermione now!" Ivan said, "As long as it doesn't disturb him to bully other Gryffindors, he will treat us as if we don't exist."

"Since I'm no longer a professor, I don't have to abide by Hogwarts' school rules." Sirius said angrily, "If the snot-nosed man dares to bully you again, sooner or later I'll find a chance to give him a hard lesson."

Ivan expressed doubts about whether Sirius had complied with the school rules.

And from the perspective of overall strength, his current strength is far from Snape's opponent.

Thirteen years of prison life in Azkaban had a great impact on him, until now, his complexion has not completely recovered from the original decline.

After talking about Snape again, there was another moment of silence between the two.

"I know what you're thinking now!" Sirius took a deep breath, "Actually, many people have seen the Banshee of Death, and they didn't do anything to harm others except that their voices were ugly. As for death Omen, I've seen too many, you don't really believe in that trick, do you?!"

"Of course, I didn't take that banshee to heart!" Ivan replied absently, "I was just thinking about other things..."

Many omens and signs indicate that their trip will not be too smooth.

Dumbledore who lost contact, Voldemort lurking in the dark, the evil god who is slowly recovering his strength, and the vampire and banshee who suddenly appeared...

Faced with these, Ivan has prepared for the worst.

But unexpectedly, until they entered the centaur ruins, nothing happened.

The journey in the woods was very smooth. After climbing a hillside, the ruins of the city left by the fallen centaurs 800 years ago appeared in front of them.

Unlike the centaur tribe in the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest, this ancient ruin is located between two towering peaks, and clusters of stone buildings are arranged one after another.

The narrow entrance to the ruins is a winding alley paved with grass-green cobblestones.

The alley goes upward along the rugged and steep mountain, relying on the terrain to build a natural defense.

Every few steps up, you will see a strong fort or wreckage of the level.

It is conceivable that as long as the fallen horsemen hide behind these fortifications and use bows and arrows to attack the intruders, even ferocious giants will find it difficult to rush up.

Upward, there is a huge circular platform, and the terrain is not so steep.

The living environment here is much better than below, with fewer houses and many temples and decorative obsidian statues.

These statues are all kinds of horse people in different shapes.

Not surprisingly, they are all the ancestors of the centaurs. It seems that even though they believe in evil gods, the fallen centaurs still maintain awe of their ancestors.

At the highest point of the ruins, there is a huge and magnificent temple.

This is also the only intact building in the entire centaur ruins. The whole body is made of the hardest obsidian, and it is full of exaggerated carvings. It looks exactly the same as the Temple of the Moon in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, except that The scale is much larger.

Aiwen looked upwards from the entrance of the ruins, and finally locked on the towering terraces on both sides of the central temple.

Everything in front of him can correspond to his dream last night.

However, the ruins of the centaur in front of him were not the exquisite and beautiful city with golden light that he saw in his dream. Time mercilessly destroyed everything.

The wizard adventurers who arrived recently, in order to find valuable items, even destructively smashed the remaining ruins, leaving only a mess.

The river beside the cobblestone alley has long since dried up, replaced by a weedy river.

The stone huts with beautiful red roofs built by the horsemen also no longer exist, and the exquisite wall bricks are scattered all over the place, silently telling the glory of the past.

In order to obtain the gold and gemstones inlaid on the statues, the intruders destroyed all the centaur statues they could find, regardless of their artistic value.

As for the central temple, it is also the place where all adventurers are most concentrated. Although there is no change from the outside, when Aiwen and Sirius enter the ruins, they can vaguely hear loud rumbling noises from time to time in the temple. .

Needless to say, the vast majority of intruders are unaware of the mechanisms designed by the horsemen based on astrological changes.

But they have another way to enter the core area, and that is to destroy.

No matter what mechanism, as long as all the gates are destroyed with powerful spells, sooner or later they will enter the deepest part of the temple.

Although this method is simple and crude, it is really very easy to use.

The fallen horsemen who disappeared suddenly did not seem to have left any curses or other defensive measures to protect their sacred temples.

Not to mention wizards, even Muggles can easily break in.

This is why Sirius and Ivan did not continue to stay in the bar to wait for Dumbledore, but decided to come here first. (To be continued.)
