Chapter 439: The Door
The legend of the Deathly Hallows is not public, it is widely circulated, and of course, it is not a secret.
The Tales of the Poet Bean, one of the most famous fairy tales in the wizarding world, Amosta learned about it when he was a student at Hogwarts, not because he was interested in the stories in it, but simply to deepen his understanding of the wizarding world. The legend of the three brothers didn't struck him when he first read the book.
There are so many similar stories.
But years later, when he was executing commissions in Germany, he discovered that the story was very popular in that area. The Elder Wand, which has immense magical powers, the Invisibility Cloak that hides the sight of the gods, and the Resurrection Stone that brings the dead back to life, there are still many people there who are trying to find these three 'artifacts'.
It may not be without a cause.
Amosta has always known this. But after learning about the origin of the rumors of the Deathly Hallows and the high probability that they were real, Amosta did not choose to join in the fun.
Because the pursuit of these powerful alchemy items was different from the magical path he believed in, all the Deathly Hallows combined were not as valuable to him as a magic book that could delve into the evolution of spell configurations.
But this thing had already appeared in Helbo's active years, and appeared in the memories that Ravenclaw and Gryffindor deliberately showed him
Amosta took a deep look at the manuscript on the table, and then followed the two founders into the final room.
Ooh!
As they entered the last of the series, Sirius exclaimed.
They weren't in a room in the traditional sense, but they seemed to have been suddenly transported into the starry sky. The earth beneath our feet is not hard masonry, but an unfathomable nothingness.
Amosta raised his head, stared at the dreamy galaxy in the distance, squinted his eyes at the bright stars that flashed away, and said thoughtfully,
"Doesn't this starry sky look fake?"
"What do you mean, Amosta?" Sirius asked urgently, "You mean we've been teleported into the universe?!" ”
"No, I mean, this house seems to reflect the real starry sky in the outside world, and you can't be wrong, the direction and trajectory of the stars are real."
Amosta pondered,
"But. . . Why did Helbo do this, and what is the point of that."
It was indeed very much like the real outer space of the universe, and in addition to the feet of the feet, special magic could even make people 'walk into the sky', and Ravenclaw soon discovered this, and she took a purposeful step towards Amosta's front right.
"What did you find, Rowena?"
Gryffindor was obviously confused, but he immediately followed.
The bright galaxy is light years away, and in the near distance, there is only icy darkness.
It's exactly like the real universe, and Amosta feels like he's standing still as he walks all the way without a reference, and even after walking for a long time, the darkness around him still hasn't changed.
If the path they are walking is not an illusion, then the real space of this house has been expanded to an unimaginable level.
"There's something there!"
The dull and uniform darkness is supposed to make people drowsy, but the cold and infinite universe gives people an incomparable sense of oppression in the human mind, and it is almost maddening after a long time. Sirius had been trying to suppress his anxiety, trying to find something real in the dark tones of the eternal trace, so when something reflecting the starlight appeared in the distance, he immediately cried out excitedly.
Amosta was also tossed by the seemingly endless road, and after receiving Sirius's reminder, his eyes quickly locked on the thing and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Standing alone in the void is an altar.
After a glance, Amosta determined that this altar and his altar in the central temple of Avalon Island where the double snake staff were enshrined were the same style, and there was a sense of vicissitudes of history in the simplicity, but other than that, there was nothing worth caring about about the altar, and what really aroused people's curiosity was what stood on the altar.
A door. An arch, to be exact.
The arch looks like it was carved out of a large stone, and there are no gaps in the rough rock mass, which looks very simple and ancient.
There were several tattered curtains hanging from the arch's door bridge, but these curtains were strangely floating in the air in a windless environment, as if a pair of invisible soft hands were supporting the black curtains.
An inexplicable coolness lingered in everyone's hearts, even the Gryffindor, who was very confident in his own strength and reckless, was cautious on Fang Kuo's face as he walked up the stone steps.
Gryffindor stood in front of the door, his brow furrowed, staring solemnly at the doorway.
Looking beyond the empty doorway, but unable to see the galaxy in the distance, a strong aura of death rendered the space inside the arch pitch black.
After a moment's thought, Gryffindor drew his sword, the tip of which slowly touched the darkness inside the doorway.
"Don't do that, Godric." Ravenclaw said suddenly, "Unless you want to lose your sword." ”
"Aang-" The reckless Gryffindor actually followed Ravenclaw's advice and withdrew his sword, "It's a very interesting feeling, Rowena, there's never been anything that makes me feel like I'm facing--"
"Death--"
Ravenclaw stood beside Gryffindor, staring into the darkness of the door, and whispered Gryffindor's unfinished words.
"Ho, death--"
The wariness in Gryffindor's gaze vanished, replaced by a deep sense of interest,
"Death is a wonderful adventure to look forward to."
"This door makes me feel bad—"
Sirius stood on the stone steps, reluctant to take the last step, and he looked at the stone door with an ugly expression.
Amosta nodded, he understood what Sirius was talking about.
Since it is a door, there should be space to lead to, so where does this door lead?
"This door is unusual, there should be a record of it, Rowena, have you seen any records about it in the book?"
Ravenclaw shook her head, and she stepped forward, slowly approaching the door, her slender wrist swinging open the floating draperies, leaving the door bare in view.
At this time, they found that there were three dents in the position of the lintel, which were irregular in shape, different in size and depth.
"It's--"
Gryffindor leaned his head over, squinting to take a closer look.
"It should be the coordinates—"
Ravenclaw spoke calmly, as if she had already seen all this,
"Obviously, only when we find the coordinates and embed them in them, will this door really open, and the world behind the door will open up like us."
"What if you just break in?"
It was Sirius who asked the question, and the only one present who could give him an answer was Amosta.
"It's hard to say-"
Amosta's eyes never left the arch, and when he heard the inquiry, his eyes flickered,
"According to Ravenclaw, it's a fan. You can understand it as a portkey, in the absence of coordinates, the world behind the door will most likely be banished to the void, it may be a cold and dead outer universe space, it may be a world full of spatial turbulence. Full of uncertainty, in short, if you accidentally fall into it, there is a high probability that you will die. ”
Sirius shuddered, and then stepped back down the stone steps, determined to stay away from it if he saw it again.
"I'm going to bring this door back—"
Rowena Ravenclaw suddenly made a stunned decision, she looked at Gryffindor,
"I have a hunch that this door is as vital to us as the destruction of the evil creatures on the island, and since we can't destroy that creature for the time being, we must at least make sure that this door is safe until those creatures are destroyed."
