Chapter Seventy-Five: The Awakening Elixir (Part II)

"Be careful, there's no weirdness in there." Padma warily pulled out her wand. "The last time this door was opened, it was forty years ago, even if Wright really died in the treasure house, he should have become a skeleton by now, and there would be no smell of blood wafting out."

"Skeletons!" Parvati lost color for a moment.

"Unless the space-time inside is stationary relative to ours." Hermione frowned, "But it's obviously not right, there's a musty smell in the air." Has anyone been in lately? ”

"How is this possible, we are the only ones who know the clues to the treasure trove other than the mysterious and the crazy Miss Hongbei." Brandi cautiously looked at the spinning portal in front of him. "You wait for me to regain my magic a little, and I'll go in and see it in a moment."

"No! What if there's danger inside! Hermione screamed, "This is no joke, I'd rather report it to Dumbledore, you know, this is where the mystery man has been." There may be traps and curses inside! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You whisper Hermione. Parvati tugged at her sleeve and said tremblingly. It's going to lure Filch over to it so loudly. ”

"It's okay sister, this place has been surrounded by heavy protective charms since Brandi recited the spell." "I now even suspect that we're not in the original auditorium anymore β€” you see, outside the auditorium window, there's nothing. ”

Brandi's expression changed, and he turned his head, because the light of the portal was so dazzling, Brandi, who had been staring at it, didn't notice it for a while. Now the window of the auditorium has turned into a pitch black, real pure black, as if a layer of black paper has been pasted on the glass. He tried to scream loudly, but found that there was no response in the empty auditorium, and the sound seemed to be absorbed by something.

It's no wonder that Wright and the mysterious man made such a big movement back then and no one noticed it, it turned out that the light and sound couldn't be transmitted at all.

"No, Hermione, you're too worried." No one will interfere, Brandi naturally relieved his heart, "How old is the mysterious talent at that time, where can there be such esoteric black magic, and more than forty years have passed, even if there are any traps, it should have been useless for a long time." ”

To reassure Hermione, Brandi hesitated and began to undress.

"By the way, I still have a baby here, do you want to see it?"

"Yikes! Don't look! Get lost! The three girls immediately turned around in shameβ€”Parvati didn't actually turn around, and even the little hand covering her eyes was holding a small slit, but almost instantly she was pulled aside by her vicious sister and thought about it. I can't look at it, sister, and I can't see a perverted nude with a needle's eye! ”

"Hey! Would you like to be a little purer in your minds? He unbuttoned his bloated coat with black lines and lifted the contents of his arms with his fingernails. You don't think I'm wearing a lot today? Didn't I have something hidden in my arms? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You, you hurry up and put on your clothes first. Hermione turned her back to him, her face flushed. What kind of nasty stuff has to be hidden in clothes! Shameless! ”

"Nonsense!" His face turned red, "These are Lan Long's scales, they feel at least ten degrees below zero!" And it's so big, how do you let me put it on my body? It's not like you......"

"Like me?" Hermione cautiously glanced back and saw that Brandy's coat was indeed still under her coat, so she pulled the sisters forward and asked suspicious questions. "What are you talking about?"

"Uh...... Nothing. Brandi touched his nose, "Anyway, I got this thing from Professor Dumbledore with a lot of hard work!" He said it had a good defense against evil spells - in fact, it had just helped me block a dark wizard's spell in the Forbidden Forest, otherwise he might have been captured by me right now! Ah, there's already cracks on it! ”

Hermione carefully pinched the white dragon scale, about the size of a palm, and it felt like she was touching an ice cube. The flow of magic can be clearly felt on it, and the uneven surface is covered with tiny bumps and cracks, and the skin can grow like this...... somewhat subverts the three views of the three girls present. "Can such a small thing really resist spells?"

"Big deal, you can try." Brandi shrugged.

"Excuse me, what if the last of its magic power is consumed." Hermione shoved the scales into Brandy's arms and helped him pack up his clothes. "Then you go in first, pay attention to safety! If there's an accident, quit now! ”

"Hey, don't worry~ If there is no situation, I will put my hand back."

He used his wand to cast a magic iron armor spell on himself, took a deep breath, and walked towards the portal under the gaze of everyone, his hand reaching in... It felt like stepping into a bathtub full of water... Then the whole person slowly disappeared from the sight of the three of them.

………………

Did Brandi wonder what that treasure trove looked like, like an underground mausoleum? Or maybe it's an ornate hall? He had made up many spectacular scenes in his mind, but when he came out of the portal, the sight in front of him was still beyond his expectations.

This treasure trove is in the open air! And...... What the hell is in this heaven!

"It's, it's too fake!" Looking at the fireballs streaked across the sky in broad daylight, with the moon and the evening sun hanging high at the same time, the poor bit of scientific common sense in Brandy's mind prompted him to blurt out.

It's certainly not the real world......

He found himself on top of a mountain that seemed to be surrounded by plains, with the exception of this lonely mountain, planted like a flag on the earth. At the top of the hill was a platform of about a few hundred square meters, so flat that it looked as if it had been flattened by something, and Brandi didn't believe it was a miracle of nature.

In the center of the platform, there stood a huge statue of four horses of different colors, about three or four people tall. They surround what looks like an altar. Around the statue, there are seven disks made of bluestone evenly distributed, and I don't know what they are used for. Directly in front of all of this, there stood a stone slab, and the stone slab was filled with dense writing. There is also a well on the right side of the portal that is very discordant no matter how you look at it, and someone will dig the well on the mountain?

He curiously leaned over to take a look, but it was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly.

Brandi felt that his poor brain cells could not do such a huge analysis, he looked around and made sure that there was nothing dangerous, so he turned around and reached into the portal - his hand took the hand of the other girl, so he pulled her in, he was a little embarrassed to find that it was Padma who he pulled, and quickly withdrew his hand in embarrassment. They're not ripe yet.

???

Padma tilted her head expressionlessly and didn't say a word.

The three girls came from the other side of the auditorium as if they were strung together...... They exclaimed in unison.

"What is this?" The first to ask, of course, was Parvati, "Are we in the mountains?" What about the treasure trove? ”

"......Probably not," Padma said with her face as cold as ever, "you don't see it, there's no wind here." How can there be no air currents at the top of the mountain. And the smell of blood still fills the air. Where did this come from. ”

"That's right, look here." Hermione walked to the edge of the platform and reached out under the nervous gaze of everyone, and then her palm seemed to touch the transparent barrier, not allowing an inch. "We can't go down at all, the space here is actually only the size of this platform, and everything outside is fake."

"But they're moving......"

"The view from the ceiling of the Great Hall of Hogwarts can move, Brandy." Hermione said casually, curiously walking around the platform. "You can interpret it as...... The walls, floor, and sky of this treasure trove are magically painted with a masterpiece - though I still don't understand why it's designed that way. ”

"We're in a painting now?!" Brandi was shocked.

"So to speak."

At that moment, they heard Parvati's excited voice behind them. "Look here! There's a groove in this one and there's something in it! The three of them hurried over, and Parvati was leaning against the heavy stone slab at the moment, her cloak of invisibility in her hand, and she was screaming excitedly.

Brandy realized that on the top of the stone slab that had been engraved with words, there was a sinking groove, rectangular, palm-sized, exactly the same shape and size as the card in Hermione's hand. At the edge of the card slot, there are seven notches in the direction of the seven-pointed star, each with a notch extending outward, leading from the top of the slab to the ground.

- And there's already something in the card slot itself.

A card is tightly embedded in the card slot, and the fifth corner of the seven-pointed star on it is shining. Originally, there were many chaotic line segments blank, but at this moment, these line segments were intertwined with the line segments existing on the stone slab under the card, and in the intricacies formed a silver line from the seven-pointed star to the fifth notch, and the corresponding notch was emitting a faint light.

"That's right, the fifth seal has been used." Hermione looked at the statues behind the stone slabs, "It should be the altar......"

"Huh? Why? ”

Hermione explained to Brandi: "We have seen the things in this scene in Room 13, which is clearly the seven seals before the Last Judgment in the biblical book of Revelation, I don't know the specific story, and I don't believe in Christianity...... But I vaguely know what those seven seals are, and the fifth seal is probably the altar. The one we hold in our hands is the first seal, and the first seal should be ...... White horse. ”

Brandi glanced back at the massive statue of the white horse.

"But I don't see anything like a door on the altar, let alone the altar, there is nothing on this platform except for these statues and stones. I don't know where the treasure is hidden......"

"Maybe it's because it takes magic to function... Or maybe it's because the test of the altar has been passed... Oh, it's so irritating, I can't read the words on this slate! None of you know about it? ”

Everyone shook their heads in unison,

"Okay." Hermione shrugged, "Anyway, just stuff the card in." ”

She pulled the card out of her robe and carefully placed it in the card slot, a strange suction force that attached the first mark firmly to the card slot - the first notch lit up successfully.

"What's that sound?"

Just as Hermione was doing this, they suddenly heard a hissing sound, like the sound of a water pipe draining the air from the pipe when it came in. The sound is coming from behind!

Brandi hurriedly drew his wand and looked carefully and warily behind themβ€”the sound came from the strange well behind them.

After a few seconds, the sound of the air was gone, replaced by the sound of gurgling water. Is water starting to come out of the well?

They looked at each other with complicated expressions, and Brandi took a few steps forward. Immediately after, he let out a scream of surprise.

"Come and see, there's a box floating up from the well!"

The four of them gathered around the well, and the box was open, and there were rows of small crystal bottles neatly stacked inside, about a dozen bottles. A few words of dragon flying and phoenix dance were written on the top of the box in Old English, and Parvati leaned in and read them softly.

"Only for the younger generations to see the gift - the awakening potion."
