Felix stared at the altar, and such a large statue was right in front of him, turning into decay in a very short time, shattering into pieces, and then being swept into fine sand by the invisible wind, and in the end nothing was left.

Is it because of my own breath?

Surely not, Felix thought, this is too nonsense. Haierbo's statue should be similar to the corpses of the snake monsters I saw before. It was also in a sealed state. It has been around for a few thousand years, at least two thousand years, right?

He thought about it very seriously. The despicable Haierbo was active in ancient Greece, earlier than the four founders of Hogwarts, and when the four giants rose, Haierbo had disappeared for hundreds of years.

For them, Haierbo is already part of the legend - he only knows that he is notorious and has never seen a real person. Even when they were young, they may have been scared by their parents for being disobedient because they were disobedient.

Felix grinned and was amused by the sudden idea. The legends used to be children, which was a fact, but few people would associate them like this. They tend to think that the legends were legends from the beginning.

Felix put aside this idea, became serious and thought about the Horcrux very seriously.

That's right, Horcrux. For him, the only attraction of Horcrux to him was his soul research. Unfortunately, even though he mastered the method of making Horcrux, he knew very little about the domain of the soul.

Even the fur has not been touched.

He thought of the book, "Revealing the Secret of the Sharp-Black Magic", which was not just a magic weapon, but it was undoubtedly the most evil among them. The reason for evil is not only the need for murder, but also the division of the soul.

Making a complete and flawless soul incomplete is an act that is against nature and will inevitably pay an extremely heavy price. This is clearly mentioned in the book. As for the price, the book does not say, and Felix has no way of knowing it.

...

When Hermione first came in, she was shocked. It turned out that there were more than two snake monsters blocking the door, and there was a large nest inside. She had to carefully walk around Hengchen's snake corpses with the spell of the bubble, so that they could not touch her. Then she came to the professor and happened to hear the professor mention the Horcrux.

She was shocked. Did the professor discover the fourth Horcrux of the mysterious man? I thought about it carefully, because there was a name called Haierbo, and she quickly realized the meaning of the name Haierbo.

The despicable Haierbo, a famous black wizard in ancient Greece, is one of the sources of many existing black magic. He invented many evil curses and black magic, the most famous one here is the Horcrux! In addition, he was also a snake man and discovered the hatching method of the basilisk monster.

Did they accidentally enter the place where Haierbo hidden Horcruxes?

Just as she was about to ask, the professor sighed and blew, and then the statue in front of him that seemed very strong collapsed and turned into ashes. Even when she came over, even as if everything was her hallucination.

"Professor?" Hermione tilted her head and looked at Felix, who had been silent since the moment.

Felix looked at her and said calmly: "It's nothing, it's just a little emotional."

"You ruined Haierbo's Horcrux?"

"Well, it has nothing to do with me. It has been ruined long ago. We just discovered this fact."

Hermione blinked and tried to analyze using limited knowledge about Horcrux. She first glanced at the others. Cremy and the other two had just come in and smacked their tongues against the corpse of the snake monster blocking in front of them. The fairy Gonuk... She couldn't see it, maybe she was blocked by the snake monster.

So she asked in a low voice: "Professor, what about Haierbo's main soul if the Horcrux is destroyed?"

Felix's eyes were turned, which was a very interesting problem. The function of the Horcrux was to split the soul and hide part of it in an object outside the body. In this way, even if the body was attacked or destroyed, it would not be dead, because there was still a part of the soul left in the world without being damaged.

But this is aimed at the situation where the wizard died accidentally but the Horcrux still exists. What if both of them are accidental?

Is there a possibility that Haierbo invented the method of making the Horcrux and successfully made the first Horcrux, but before he could study how to restore his body, he died of an accident or died of old age...

This kind of speculation is not impossible. The reason why Haierbo was praised or hated by later generations is because he creatively invented a lot of black magic. Is it possible that no one has studied the way to restore the body of the undead before him?

Felix followed this guess and deduced that Haierbo's main soul was immortal because of the existence of the Horcrux, and he kept wandering, but he could not find a good way to resurrect. For many years, the Horcrux also decayed for a long time. So what would be waiting for Haierbo?

Should he die directly, or continue wandering in a corner of this world, worse than the humblest wandering soul?

"I don't know," Felix answered Hermione's question, "maybe it's easier to die."

Hermione couldn't understand for a moment and wanted to continue asking questions, but she soon realized the key. There were only three possibilities for losing the Horcrux and the remaining main soul, either dissipating, surviving like Voldemort, or successfully resurrecting.

The first two are unknown, but the third possibility is extremely slim, because later generations have never found traces of his activities again - this is actually very inappropriate. If Haierbo was resurrected with the help of the Horcrux, he would have no reason to hide it.

And the remaining two possibilities, according to the professor's answer, "Maybe it's easier to die." This refers to the ending of the main soul dissipation, but if it weren't... like Voldemort, wandering around the world for thousands of years?

She suddenly shuddered. The most painful punishment in the world is nothing more than that?

"Little girl, get out of the way."

A voice said, scaring Hermione's body trembled. She jumped to the side and found that the goblin Gonuk was looking straight at the relief on the side wall of the altar. She lowered her head and saw that the goblin was holding a silver knife and was trying to pry the gem on the relief.

Gonuk successfully got a ruby. He let out a gentle breath, wiped it with his sleeve, and said greedily: "Ancient gems, I smell the scent of heavy history. It is more precious than any collection of me. It is the weight of time!"

Hermione blinked, and she thought that this sentence should be just a rhetoric, similar to that of Trelawne and Rifetin, but she asked curiously: "What have you seen, Mr. Gonuk? Can I see it?"

"No! Everything here is mine, no, it's from Gringott." He said seriously.

Felix smiled, "Miss Granger, what do you like, you can choose one or two pieces as a souvenir."

The fairy looked at him viciously, but Felix took out a letter of invitation from Guling Pavilion and raised it at him. He instantly became listless like a deflated ball.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked in confusion.

Cremy walked over and said with a smile: "Professor Hayp is an expert invited by Gringot, so he is naturally rewarded. Gonuk realized this, so he..." She made a heartache move at Hermione, and Hermione giggled.

However, Hermione was just curious and did not take it for herself. She had no interest in gems, so she looked around the patterns on the altar - there were wizards on them, either identifying gems, sitting majestic or writing at her desk. There were always various gadgets next to these wizards, gems, wands, bottles, and hourglass.

She also wanted to take a closer look, but the fairy followed him wherever she went. Finally she got bored. She ran to the corridor and looked at the demonic texts left on the stone slab in anger.

Felix was recording the ancient magic above, and Hermione was more interested in the stories told on the slab, but after knowing that the owner of the dark room was Haierbo, she naturally understood that all this was fake and a scam that Haierbo was carefully woven.

But why did he do this?

Hermione tried to understand Haierbo's intentions. She had read many magical notes from ancient wizards from Felix, and was not unfamiliar with their mentality, and Haierbo's approach made her extremely puzzled.

After thinking for a long time, she had two directions. One was that Haierbo hoped to lure the clever wizards to trick them into the dark room and use the magic inside to achieve ulterior secrets, such as holding a resurrection ceremony, but unfortunately, he waited for thousands of years in vain.

The other direction is the trick reserved by Haierbo. He never thought that people could leave alive after knowing this place. All the previous arrangements were for this purpose-

Put the hiding place of the Horcrux under the pyramid, and use the tomb of the Pharaoh to cover up the secret of the Horcrux, making it difficult for outsiders to discover it. This is the first layer of protection.

The black fog and curse in the corridor are the second layer of protection. If the wizard who accidentally entered this place has a little less skill, he may die in the black fog inexplicably and be digested by the black fog. You must know that Mr. Fairy said that the black fog is corrosive!

Even if a wizard successfully breaks through the black fog and has a third layer of protection, it is the temptation of ancient magic on the stone slab. He will think that he has entered the inheritance of a strict predecessor. Not only will he not disclose information to the outside world, but he will try to break the invisible curse again and again.

Even if he successfully passed these levels, the ones waiting for him were more than a dozen snake monsters. According to Hermione's guess, no matter how powerful a wizard is, he cannot compete with the attacks of more than a dozen snake monsters at the same time, right?

"If this is the case, then Haierbo would be terrible. He deserves to be called the mean Haierbo." Hermione muttered in a low voice.

"What?" Felix asked.

"No." Hermione immediately shook her head, followed the professor's gaze, and looked at the magic text sequence above.

Felix said gently: "I don't have time to guide you for the time being, but you can try to learn it. Do you understand what I mean? It's just the core magic texts, see which one you have the most. Maybe it's your second ancient magic."

Hermione nodded and tried one by one excitedly. The first ancient magic, she didn't know the core magic text, gave up...

The second one, meaning "twisted". She tried to outline the core magic text and the sub-core magic text. The air in her hand seemed to twist, but after trying it a few times, she still failed.

She kept moving her position until the second to last, and Hermione's eyes lit up. The core magic text - flame, sub-core magic text, know all! She also knows most of the remaining peripheral magic texts.

That's it. She had a strong premonition in her heart.

Hermione carefully outlined the magic text in the air. She had experience in learning lighting techniques. She knew that the most basic operation process of ancient magic was the core magic symbol. The sub-core magic text determined the external characteristics and attributes of the magic, and the peripheral magic text constructed and improved the complete magic.

Hermione first outlined the flame demon text, allowing it to continuously convert between the demon text symbols and flames, and then restored to ancient demon texts, and continued to outline the sub-core demon texts.

After a while, Hermione wiped her sweat and stopped. She covered a yawn with her hands and decided to take a rest.

Felix had recorded the magic script sequence on the stone slab, and the gentle black lightning flashed between his fingers, but the picture only flashed away. He put away the magic and said to Hermione with satisfaction: "Let's go out, they're already waiting outside."

They walked out of the pyramid and returned to the tent camp. The goblin was exhausted and collapsed in the chair, complaining that their knife had cracks, but no one sympathized with him, "Because you won't let us help." Cremy said, making a small glass of ice water for herself.

She frowned herself, then stretched out a little bit, and let out a long breath.

The others were also relaxed, and coming out of such a dangerous place was enough to be grateful. Faisal and Rahman immediately decided to take leave and go to the Quidditch World Cup.

Felix was also a little tired. He took off the cloak of the snake monster, took out a silver pocket watch, flicked the lid gently, and a sniff came out from it, standing in his palm, shouting at Felix, counting his crimes, and then facing him with his butt.

"It's my fault," Felix said with a smile, his mood suddenly improved. He took out a golden gallon and gently touched Valen's shoulder. It seemed to smell a charming smell. His head turned around little by little. The afterglow caught a glimpse of the golden gallon, and immediately snatched Jin Gallon away, stuffed it into his pocket, and patted Felix's finger with satisfaction.

Hermione stared at the little guy with wide eyes, "Professor, is this sniff?"

"Well, I raised it, you can call her Valen." Felix said, touching its pink beak with his fingers, sniffing and ignoring it, looking around, and stumbled his head.

Hermione took out the small locket that could control the temperature, swayed in front of it, sniffed Valen and looked around, and then immediately threw himself into Hermione's arms along the table, stretching out her short hand to reach the small locket.

When the sniff appeared, the goblin Gonuk immediately widened his eyes, covered his pocket next to him, and shouted in horror: "Take that little devil away, take it away!"

His scream caught the attention of Sniffing, and it poked its head out of Hermione's arms, its bright black eyes staring at the goblin Gonuk.
