Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

315. Chapter 313 is ins and outs

    The curved capital letter S, the unique emblem of the Slytherin family. In the history of magic for thousands of years, this ancient pure blood wizard family has had a profound impact on the process and development of the magic circle, the most famous of which is Salazar Slytherin.

    Undoubtedly, he is a great wizard, but at the same time the most crazy.

    "Damn, I should have thought of it, it was the old madman of Salazar Slytherin, except who would have left such a dangerous thing near Hogwarts."

    Ivan stunned, think about the past experience of Salazar Slytherin…

    Since he can leave a basilisk in the secret room of the castle, it is not impossible to hide other strange creatures in Forbidden Forest.

    Although Ivan believes that Salazar himself is not malicious to Hogwarts.

    However, his dark character and obsession and research on dark magic are extremely dangerous in and of themselves.

    “After another ten years, we finally destroyed the statues in the cave!”Hey, after describing in detail what the statue looks like, Aragog said slowly, "I still remember that on the night after the last statue was destroyed, there was a big earthquake in the nest, as if it were the end of the world. Everything was shaking, the rock wall began to shatter, the ground was sunken, the spring water poured out from the ground, and finally formed a deep pit in front of the eyes…"

    Ivan's powerless forehead, Salazar Slytherin and the unknown dark creature are enough to cause headaches, and these Acromantula are also unpleasant. The statues are obviously the magic of Salazar's arrangement, and their role is probably to seal the unknown evil creature deep underground, hiding it from outsiders.

    And these Acromantula, in a decade, hardly destroy the foundation of this seal magic in the most primitive and rude way…

    If Salazar knows that his proud spells are actually cracked in this way by a group of low-non-human magical creatures, they will be tempted to find them.

    "Since then, as long as I fell asleep here, I could hear a voice whispering to me. It tells me that it is the god who rules death and eternal life. Only by believing in it and offering its own soul can you be redeemed. ”Hey, Aragog's weird voice echoed in the dark cave. "I don't believe it. Unlike you humans, Acromantula doesn't need redemption." But I was very old at the time, calculated by the life of Acromantula, I can die at any time. I began to fall asleep more and more frequently. In my sleep, the promise of the voice made me stronger and even escaped death. This is a deal…"

    "Since it is a transaction, what does it need you to do?"Ivan asked.

    "It requires sacrifices, a lot of sacrifices, it needs the soul of the creature to restore strength."Aragog said, "I ordered my children to take the lively prey back and throw it into this deep pit. They died alone in the darkness of despair, and the soul was swallowed by it. In return, it instills power into me in my sleep, that is the dark power that Acromantula likes, which can help me continue my life and continue to live. I don't want to die, it helps me achieve my wishes. I have never told anyone about this, even Hagrid doesn't know. He thought I was living under his care for so long…"

    Aragog seems to be tired and has no sound for a long time.

    Ivan didn't push, he could imagine such a picture.

    Year after year, day after day, in order to continue Aragog's life, Acromantula dragged the animals captured in Forbidden Forest to the depths of the ground and dragged them here.

    Prey thought they could escape the fate of being killed, but the reality is even more cruel.

    They are trapped in this place and are gradually desperate in the endless darkness.

    There is no food, no light, no hope.

    As soon as you enter your sleep, the low whispers have been echoing in your ears, pushing them to madness.

    They woke up, panicked and tried to escape, but there was nowhere to escape.

    They resisted not going to sleep, but the spirit became more wilting and distorted.

    Like the murals portrayed on the rock behind them, with fear, they tremble in the dark, their souls are tortured, and they scream silently.

    I don't know when to start, the prey began to believe that the voice that has been whispering in the ear, believe it, slowly put down the guard to sleep and enter the dream.

    In their sleep, their souls are swallowed up by the monster until they are destroyed…

    No matter how you look at it, it is an extremely evil and horrible thing.

    "I just said that I don't believe it, I can feel its malice."Hey, Aragog started talking again, and it seems that there is not much breath in slowness. "I told you that I refused the request called Voldemort's dark wizard's and refused to join the camp in the human war, even though he provided The reward is very, very rich. The same is true, I don't need the powerful power of the promise of the dream, because it is useless to me, I follow Hagrid to teach me to do, to restrain my instincts, not to harm humans and to restrain my children. In the next twenty years, I controlled the number of prey and only offered it the fewest sacrifices in exchange for my survival…"

    Although Acromantula is a full-blown dark creature, they are evil, bloody, cruel and difficult to tame, but the Aragog in front of them is really different.

    I have to admit that Hagrid played a big part in this. If it weren't for the reason that it shouldn't have, and for being grateful to Hagrid's, delaying the time when this ancient creature awakened, Forbidden Forest didn't know what it would look like.

    Of course, they also avoided their own death to some extent.

    Ivan can be sure that if Dumbledore's attention is given, he will certainly not sit idly by, and these Acromantula may have been extinct.

    "According to what you said, the monster should be very weak and can only speak and speak when you enter your sleep."Ivan wondered, "But what I have just seen and what I have experienced is totally different from what you said."

    “Just a few months ago, everything changed, just in the night of your fire that burned my children.”Hey, Aragog speeds up the speed of dancing big slashes, and there is a hint of resentment in his voice. "They are burned to death by you, but the soul is swallowed by that monster." Its power is strengthened, it is out of my control, and I don't need to provide sacrifices to it. Even if you don't fall asleep, you can hear it, it starts to affect my children and confuse them…"
