Chapter 339: Evil Gods and Division
The dark red moon shines through the dark clouds, exuding a cool atmosphere with a unique style. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The shadow of the moon is sparse, shining on the ancient and mysterious temple below, dappled with light and shadow. Shrouded in the misty night mist, this huge temple built by the centaurs was like a silhouette floating above the clouds, and it seemed unusually silent and solemn, exuding invisible pressure from the outside.
Aven was shocked by the sight and immersed in it.
It's hard to imagine that in the depths of the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest, there is such an amazing architecture and civilization hidden.
Behind him, Harry, Ron, and Hermione followed out of the woods, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation, shocked by the amazing buildings in front of them.
Their gaze slid from the scattered cabins of the centaurs to the massive black temple on the central island of the tribe.
"I never thought the centaur tribe would be like this. Harry was shocked, "I thought it was just a few humble cabins......
"More than anyone could have imagined!" Ron exclaimed.
"Centaurs have a unique civilization, even their own country. Hermione whispered, "It wasn't until today that I really understood what that meant. ”
For the centaur tribe in front of you, it is not too much to describe it with any words of praise.
One by one, the horses with bows and arrows on their backs walked out of the Forbidden Forest, proudly watching the expressions of Aven, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and were very satisfied with their shock.
"It's a lot bigger than it was 20 years ago, when there weren't so many houses. Sirius smiled, "The temple on the central island, built by the centaur ancestors, is the most sacred place in the centaur tribe, and has been dedicated for centuries to the stars, the spirits of the centaur ancestors. ”
"Where are the items left behind by Gryffindor?" asked Aven.
"That's right, that's the final destination of our trip. Sirius bent down, the smile on his lips fading, and he lowered his voice and said, "When you enter the temple in a moment, don't talk nonsense if you see something strange, and don't touch it casually." Centaurs have unique customs and unique magic, many of which are evil and dangerous, and we must respect them and be vigilant......"
"Strange customs?!" everyone was stunned for a moment.
Seeing Sirius's serious expression, many terrifying images came to mind.
"I went to Egypt last summer and saw this kind of stuff inside those huge pyramids. Ron whispered, "Curses of all kinds, and mummies made by ancient Egyptian wizards, who wrapped the flesh of the dead pharaoh in strips of cloth and stuffed them with magical items and strange spells. ”
Not by the majority, this is another attempt by ancient wizards to obtain eternal life. Evan didn't know if the pharaohs who had been prominent in history eventually made it back to life, but the evil dark magic that was born out of them was a headache for everyone.
So, is it the same for centaurs?
Will they mummify the corpses of their ancestors and keep them properly, hoping that the dead will return from the abyss of the underworld one day in the future?!
Looking at the centaurs around him, Evan couldn't imagine that they would do such a thing. In his opinion, the centaur civilization, while shocking, was still in a relatively primitive clan state, and Evan preferred to believe in their ancestors or some god.
"Do the centaurs also make mummies?" asked Harry.
"Of course not, this is not Egypt, the centaurs are native to ancient Greece!" Hermione disagreed, "It was the height of the power of the ancient warlocks, and their customs may have something to do with it, but I have to find out what it is." ”
The conversation between them was low, but Ferenze, who was standing nearby, heard it.
"Unlike human shamans, we do not disrespect the corpses and souls of our ancestors. He walked over and said softly, "The centaurs now believe in the power of the stars, and the planets give us omens, but centuries ago, we weren't. ”
"What were you like back then?" asked Aven.
It didn't seem polite to ask about the history of the centaurs so directly, but Ferenze wasn't upset, and he blinked his dark blue eyes.
"I've told you before that the powerful magical item that the castle creator kept in the tribe is not complete, it is divided with the division within the centaurs. Ferencze turned to Evan and said softly, "We didn't live up to our vows, and the elders have been feeling guilty for centuries. ”
"What the hell happened then, and why did you split?" said Aven, "I've checked many books on the history of magic, and I haven't seen anything about it. ”
"The history of centaurs doesn't appear in human books, and we don't trust humans. Ferenze looked up at the dark red moon hanging above the temple and said slowly, "Our ancestors once made a great mistake, they worshipped an evil dark god. ”
"Evil dark gods?!" everyone was stunned when they heard his words.
"It's been so long ago that it's hard for the centaurs today to figure out whether the deity came from ancient mythology or if our ancestors had created it. "No one knows its name, where it comes from, we call it the god of the forest, it speaks to us in the void, asks us for sacrifices, and leads us to prosperity. ”
It sounded familiar, like what the eyeball monster had asked the Eight-Eyed Spider to do for it, savage and evil. If it weren't for the fact that time didn't correspond, Evan even suspected that this forest god who suddenly appeared was a monster deep in the underground ruins.
"The so-called prosperity is essentially destruction. Because of this, there were endless wars among the centaurs, and in the end, under the guidance of the stars, our ancestors were victorious, but the huge tribe was divided. "The cultists were banished from the tribe, most of them high-ranking centaurs, and they left with them a lot of things, including some of the powerful magical items that the castle founders left behind in the tribe. ”
No one spoke, everyone was immersed in what Ferenze had said. The centaurs have always been ignored by the wizarding world, the wizards disdain to get to know them, there is little communication between the two sides, people only know that the centaurs live somewhere, and that's it.
No one could have imagined that such a thing had ever happened to the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.
Evan shook his head, is this still the Harry Potter world he is familiar with?!
What has happened in the last few months is beyond imagination, originally intended to follow the clues of the secret treasures left behind by the four founders, but the discovery is becoming more and more shocking, and the powerful dark wizards of ancient times and the most evil dark creatures appear in front of him one after another.
The more secrets you know, the more you feel the horrors of this real world. (To be continued.) )
