MTL - Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures-v2 Chapter 1811 alchemical creation
"Please, Hermione, stop talking about that fairy tale, it's just a story."
"It's not just the story. From the information I found, the ancient house elves also believed that water was sacred, nurtured the growth of all things, and used it to dedicate to the gods they believed in." Hermione said, taking out her wand and pointing to the gold cup , "And I don't think there's anything to lose by experimenting. Clear water!"
A jet of water spewed from the tip of her wand, quickly filling the golden cup on the stone platform.
In the darkness, everyone was motionless, nervously looking at Hufflepuff's gold cup.
Everyone was waiting for something to happen, and time passed very slowly.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Just when they thought nothing would happen, Hufflepuff's golden cup really had some kind of magical reaction, and the water inside suddenly poured out continuously.
The water flowed outwards from the center of the golden cup, and soon covered the stone platform. Amazingly, the water didn't spill onto the ground.
They stopped when they reached the edge of the stone platform, forming a mirror-smooth water surface.
It can be seen that a large amount of clear water is continuously pouring out of the golden cup and flowing onto the stone platform below, but the flow of water cannot be felt on the stone platform, showing a strange calm.
"How is this going?"
Hermione watched closely with interest, trying to figure out the reason. Just then, Sirius suddenly shouted, "Come back, Hermione, something is coming, be careful!"
As soon as his words fell, ripples appeared on the water in the golden cup. Taking the center of the golden cup as the dot, the ripples spread out layer by layer, one after another.
Soon, the ripples broke the calm of the entire water surface, and the fluctuations became more and more violent. Hermione felt that the ground under her feet was shaking, and something was approaching from below. She hurriedly backed away. Under the command of Sirius, the four of them leaned closely together and tried to get as close as possible to the exit.
At this time, even the entire space was shaking. With a huge roar, something drilled out from the ground.
What the **** is this!
Half of its body is exposed outside, and the other half is buried in the soil. Everyone present has never seen this kind of thing, it doesn't look like a magical animal, it looks like some kind of mechanical creation, but it can't be said to be completely...
It is like an earthworm or worm that has been magnified countless times. The body presents a section shape, which is staggered in turn. Gems and metals, very mechanical. On the top of the head is a huge horn that curves upwards, which is somewhat similar to the horned snoring beast that Mr. Lovegood has been talking about.
The top of its head pointed to the golden cup on the stone platform, and it kept flashing red light. Ever since he came out, he has stayed there and didn't move.
"What is this?"
"It doesn't look like an earthworm, nor a horned snoring beast, nor is it a creation of the evil god?" Harry said quickly, "The keys of the other founders that Ivan found have all experienced battles with the creation of the evil god. "
"The Cthulhu's creation can have an unpleasant reaction, and it's a great burden on our minds, but I didn't feel any discomfort." Hermione said, staring at the thing closely, "To be honest, it doesn't look alive. of."
"This thing is definitely not a living thing."
"It seems to be an alchemy item? Let's go take a look."
"Wait a minute... well, but be careful," Sirius cautioned.
"I read a lot of information about the four founders of Hogwarts before, Evan and I." Hermione whispered, moving forward cautiously, "among them, the information about Helga Hufflepuff She is the longest living wizard among the four founders, and she is also the first headmaster of Hogwarts. She has a lot of information left. She is good at spells including herbalism, prophecy, demonology, and Alchemy. In some sources, she refers to her house-elves as partners in alchemy."
"Why did she say that?"
"Maybe it has something to do with the legend of the birth of the house-elves. In the legend, the elves were alchemical creations created by the ancient warlocks of the last magical age. The ancient warlocks once possessed incomparably powerful power, and their research went deeper into the The realm of the gods is not only how to conquer death, but also how to create life." Hermione continued, "Of course, the excessive demand for power made them attract the attention of the evil gods and led to their demise...I It's not very good to say, I just learned some things when I communicated with Ivan, you can ask him after he comes back. But if this thing is related to alchemy, I wouldn't be surprised at all, it may be Hufflepuff himself for the family. Made by elves, or alchemical objects left by ancient warlocks."
She had come to the front of the thing, raised her little head and looked at it.
This thing, whatever it was, didn't attack them.
It stopped there motionless, not feeling the slightest breath of life.
"I've never seen anything like this before, and it's not magic at all," said Sirius, looking closely at the object. "Hermione, what do you think it's used for?"
"Maybe it's a means of transportation?" Hermione guessed, "It's like a Muggle subway, don't look at me like that, I'm also guessing, isn't it like that on the rock paintings outside, some house-elves are in its belly, It must be some kind of alchemical item, you look at these grooves, it may be to let us sit in, and then it will take us to the fountain of good luck and the place where the Hufflepuff treasure is hidden."
"Even if there is a crooked snoring beast, I wouldn't be so surprised now."
"I know, this is very subversive, and I am also very suspicious now, whether this place was built by ancient house-elves." Hermione said hesitantly, "But in any case, we have no way out, we have to test it. Row."
She said, going up and trying to enter the groove.
Section after section of this thing, in turn staggered. The part with metal and gemstones feels very textured, and the other parts are the same as the fleshy creatures, soft to the touch. Hermione touched it here, touched there, didn't know what she touched, and her whole body suddenly fell into it.
Soon, she came out of it again, "No problem, the inside is empty. As we analyzed, this is an alchemy creation, come on, we may need to use a gold cup."
"What are we going to do?"
"Take the golden cup, come here, this is the groove, this is the entrance."
Following Hermione's instructions, Harry used to pick up the gold cup that was still flowing outwards. He climbed onto the strange alchemical creation and stood in the groove. Before he could figure out what was going on, the whole The person quickly descended through a layer of mucus and entered another dimension.
