Chapter 333: The Decaying Horcrux
"Isn't it dangerous?"
Goblin Gonuk asked through the mask, looking at the aisle in front, taking another step forward, and a fierce spark came from the empty air in front of him, hitting the goblin, like a tattered kite being knocked away.
Faisal and Rahman stepped forward to check the condition of Gonuk. The middle-aged wizard Rahman said: "It's not a serious problem. He was wearing protective clothing and fainted temporarily."
"There are hidden traps?" Cremy asked Felix in surprise, "Don't the curse come from the black fog?" She picked up the curse detector and kept scanning, but the thing in her hand suddenly exploded, which scared her.
"This can also show the problem, there is indeed a curse." She said with an ugly expression.
"In fact, there are many more." Felix said, from his perspective, the empty corridor was filled with dense light spots, each of which represented a curse, floating like plankton.
He turned his head and asked Cremy: "This pyramid...the part you have explored before, do you have magic items that store magic power?"
Cremy shook her head, "We have found a lot of things that still have magic power, such as golden daggers and scarab amulets, but they are already very weak. Unlike those cursed items outside, innocent blood will maintain the curse effect."
After a while, the fairy Gonuk woke up, lifted his clothes at the first time, and then wailed. Hermione then realized that he was wearing a silver close-fitting armor.
"A hole was broken!" he shouted in pain, "I don't know if it can be repaired."
...
Felix walked in front, and everyone was more than ten steps away from him, watching him poking the air here and there, curses after curses exploded like fireworks.
The dense number makes the people following behind feel cold.
Felix stopped from time to time and looked at the slabs on both sides. He originally thought that the scale of these slabs should have at least a dozen ancient magics, but the real number was smaller than this. At present, he only saw three, including the complete black lightning magic.
There are many stone slabs that describe the self-introduction of the wizard who opened this dark room, including his travel experience. He said that he was a wizard from Greece. He walked through the Aegean Sea and discovered a magic source in the upper tomb - a four-cone gem in the upper tomb while exploring the pyramids. He then decided to create a dark room to benefit future generations.
"The curse in the corridor is progressing layer by layer, becoming stronger and stronger. If you are not sure, don't force it and leave the opportunity to others." Hermione read out the words on the stone slab, "So that's how it is!" The others also looked stunned.
"It was the ancient wizards that were too strong, were we too weak?" Cremy said in a dismay. It turned out that they could not even bear the weakest test.
"Don't make a decision easily, maybe these words are just lies." Felix said, pushing forward steadily, a guess in his heart became clearer and clearer.
One fact is, were ancient wizards very strong? Judging from ancient magic, they were indeed powerful, but their flexibility in their means was far less than that of now.
Most ancient wizards did not have any phantoms and shapes. As for other things, such as warning spells, life magic, and auxiliary magic are not as perfect as the current system. Those famous ancient wizards in history have continuously amplified their own advantages while exposing their shortcomings.
This is also the reason why Felix infers the ancient wizards strictly guard their own secrets from various magical notes.
The road ahead was rugged and dangerous, and Felix had already let them retreat far away. He himself put on a cloak of tanned with the sword and the dragon's skin, moved forward little by little, constantly cleaning up the curses.
These curses are mixed with various powerful and weird black magic. I don’t know how the owner of the dark room has saved it, but it may be stored on a stone or on a granite ceiling.
However, most of the spells in the stone dissipated over time, leaving only a faint light and evil aura. They should exist alone and are not associated with the overall defense.
Felix is increasingly sure that the owner of the dark room is a black wizard, a powerful black wizard. Felix is like entering a museum of black magic, and many black magics circulating in modern times can find corresponding shadows.
Finally he stopped in front of a bronze door, which was a bronze door knocker with no extra decoration.
The goblin Gonuk shouted from afar: "Can we come here?" He said anxiously that in the goblin's eyes, everything here is the property of the Gringott. They paid money and manpower to eliminate hidden dangers for the Ministry of Magic of various countries, and compensation is the treasure in the ruins.
Everyone approached and lined up to look at the bronze door. When they saw Felix falling into deep thought, they dared not disturb him. The performance along the way had proved his strength and knowledgeable knowledge. They did not notice any of the curses that made people scalp tingle.
After a long time, Felix breathed a sigh of relief.
"Have you encountered a problem?" Hermione asked in a low voice, her voice amplified in the dark room, as if she was talking in her ear.
"I'm a little surprised, there seems to be no danger ahead."
This was something that puzzled him. He glanced around at the others, "You can avoid it." Perhaps because his expression was too serious, everyone pulled out their wands and moved carefully to the side. Felix also called the eagle-shaped magic lamp.
After all this, he stretched out his hand and knocked on the bronze door knocker. The knocking sound formed a series of echoes, and everyone's hearts rose. After a few seconds, the door suddenly cracked a gap, and the dust kept shaking off. With the harsh "crunch", the opening continued to expand. Then there was the friction of something. Felix retreated cautiously, and the two black shadows smashed down, stirring up high smoke and dust.
"Bang! Bang!"
The people hiding on both sides saw the true face of the black shadow. "It's a basilisk!" Hermione screamed and said, "She would never admit her mistake. When she was in the second grade, she fought head-on with the basilisk.
But what we saw was the corpses of two snake monsters. They had been dead for a long time. And because they were left in the confined space for too long, the green snake skin quickly decayed and a strong rotten smell came to our face.
"vomit!"
Several people started to retching, Felix waved his wand and applied a bubble spell to them. He strode into the room with a human-shaped iron armor spell, and his judgment became clearer.
The eagle-shaped magic lamp followed behind him, and the light shone into the interior from behind him, bringing this place isolated from the outside world back to the present world. In the empty small square, there were more than a dozen large and small snake monsters, all of which died without exception. When Felix stepped over them, the color of the snake monsters lost its color together with the ring-shaped pillars around them.
Felix walked straight to the center, where there was a circular altar.
On the altar stands a statue of a middle-aged witch, with silver-white hair, yellow eyes, smiling gently, the wizard holds a four-cone gem in his hand, and the dim light emits from the gem, which is the magic source that Felix has been looking for.
A crack broke from the top of the statue's head, and went down the middle of his eyebrows, almost shattering him in half. From this long crack, black and viscous blood oozed out, but it had already dried up, forming ugly stains.
Felix could almost imagine how it was bit by bit by bit by bit by time over the long period of thousands of years.
"It's you, the despicable Haierbo." Felix said softly, as if he was admiring and mocking, "So it turns out that the Horcrux will also decay?"
