Chapter 776: Underground Mine
Evan waved his wand, and with a low creak, the stone door opened, revealing darkness behind it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Be careful!" Sirius said, leading the way inside.
The entrance is a sloping downward corridor, which is very spacious and built in the shape of a cyclops.
Evan and Sirius turned the fluorescence on the end of their wands to the lowest level, dimly illuminating the path ahead of them.
The air was cold and wet, but there was nothing stale about it.
They walked silently down the road, which was precisely straight and left no twists and turns.
With the level of construction of Cyclops and giants, it's incredible.
You know, they don't look like meticulous creatures, they don't have that kind of patience......
But like the Cyclops statue, the tunnel shows a high level of craftsmanship, and the further down it goes, the more spacious it becomes.
Evan and Sirius walked down for more than two hours, and it was already very deep underground, and the temperature was gradually rising.
When they reached the end of the tunnel, they saw a huge cave that shimmered red.
Evan gasped, he expected this to lead to the depths of the core, but he was shocked by what appeared in front of him.
The blazing heat hit head-on, and the interior of the cave was a sea of flames, and crimson magma everywhere.
They flow slowly, falling from a great height, gushing out of the core, and converging into a river.
This place is somewhat similar to Gringotts underground, but it's not exactly the same.
All the magma is not enclosed in a fixed space, and the rivers they form are moving forward, and there are no islands on them.
Evan didn't know where it was going, and there was no end in sight as far as the eye could see.
There is a simple stone path next to the river where the magma converges, and the walls and ceiling are inlaid with clear, shiny yellowish crystals that reflect the bright red light of the magma, making these citrines appear to be glowing on their own.
Although Evan knew that this was nothing more than an illusion, the beauty and grandeur of this series of natural creations were truly stunning.
"These citrines have a strong magical power, a force of nature!" Evan whispered.
He touched a piece of exposed citrine on the rock wall beside him, feeling the strange magic in it.
In the next second, the turquoise owl pendant on his left wrist glowed green, as if absorbing the magic emitted by the crystal.
It is a magical reaction, and the power within the pendant is stimulated by the magic emitted by the crystal, which is the force of nature.
"It's a lot of magic, but what cares me more is the marks on the ground!" Sirius said, crouching on the ground to examine it carefully, "Someone has been here not long ago, so we'd better be careful." ”
"It's supposed to be the Dark Wizard of Ravenclaw!" said Aven.
According to the information obtained from the Gryffindor consciousness, for thousands of years, except for Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Aven, and Sirius, the dark wizard of Raven's Claw is the only human who has ever visited this place.
"It's hard to say, look at what it is, it looks like the bones of a house elf!"
Following Sirius's finger, Aven saw a small bone in front of a large citrine in the corner, about the size of a house-elf.
Next to it, a broken mine hoe was scattered.
"House-elf?!" Evan looked solemnly at the bones, "it looks like it's trying to dig up these crystals." ”
"That's right, these citrines have a lot of magic in them, maybe those dark wizards are going to do something with them!" Sirius extinguished the light at the end of his wand and continued, "Get out of the Cloak of Invisibility, Aven, we need to be more careful!"
Evan took out the Cloak of Invisibility that Dumbledore had given him, covering himself and Sirius.
Their bodies vanished from place, and the two men continued forward, both clutching their wands tightly under their cloaks.
The lava next to it glowed bright red, and the flames flowed silently in the lava river, dispelling the darkness in the cavern.
The temperature gradually increased, but they could not use magic to lower the temperature of the surface of their bodies.
It was a tough test, and Evan saw Sirius's skin glowing a strange red glow beside him.
He knew that he was too, he could feel the hunger and thirst in his body, and even his breath was hot with a hot temperature.
All the water in his body was rapidly evaporating, like dry wood, which could burn at any moment now......
Evan told himself that he had to be patient, not to use magic, not to make his enemies feel abnormal magical reactions.
He could already hear a lot of clanging metal and the crash of the rock wall, and something was around here.
They had to be careful, this was very close to the location of the Dark Wizard of Ravenclaw.
Evan doesn't know much about this mysterious heretical organization, and has only read about it in books.
He knew that the other party was searching the world for the remnants of ancient energy from all over the world, looking for the remnants of the so-called ancient gods and the lost magical knowledge.
They want to destroy this world and return the Old Gods to their former dominance.
This is undoubtedly a crazy wizarding organization, unlike the cults of the Muggle world, they are not promoting eschatology to take advantage of the opportunity to absorb believers, but are ready to bring the Doomsday Judgment to this world and summon the return of the Old Gods.
In Aven's understanding, the ancient gods that Ravenclaw called were terrible evil gods.
I don't know what clues these guys found in the Ravenclaw relics, believing that the evil god will return to this world.
Gryffindor's mind tells Evan that they intend to use the power of the cyclops to summon some kind of evil that does not exist in this world, and what kind of terrible monster is that?!
There are too many secrets in the seas around here, whether Ravenclaw can find what he needs in the ruins of antiquity in the maelstrom of Carybdis, and the ghost ship controlled by the dead and the magic city that the Gryffindor says is under the sea.
These frequent remnants of ancient magic gave Evan a foreboding feeling that something big was about to happen......
Along the river of lava, he and Sirius turned a corner, and the two stopped again.
At the end, Evan could see that at the end was a large stone door, which contained an enclosed space surrounded on all sides by a rock wall.
The stone gate was open, and the lava was slowly gushing out, and there was the source of the lava river.
Inside the stone gate, Aven saw the Cyclops' massive body soaked in a deep pool of magma.
Most of its body was immersed in the scorching lava, leaving only its head and shoulders exposed.
As seen in Aven's previous dreams, this was their destination.
He had expected this to be the case, but what really surprised Evan was what was on the four rock walls outside......
