Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

342. Chapter 340, evil god and division

    The dark red moon shines through the layers of dark clouds, exuding a cool style.

    The shadow of the moon is sparse, and it shines on the ancient mysterious temple below. The huge temple built by Centaur, under the cover of the misty night, like a silhouette floating above the clouds, looks extraordinarily quiet and solemn, emitting invisible pressure.

    Ivan was shocked by the foreground and immersed in it.

    It is hard to imagine that in the depths of Hogwarts Forbidden Forest, such amazing architecture and civilization are hidden.

    Behind him, Harry, Ron, and Hermione followed the woods, and they couldn't help but scream and be shocked by the amazing buildings in front of them.

    Their gaze glided over the cabins of Centaur's patchwork, and finally landed on the impenetrable black temple on the central island of the tribe.

    “I never thought that the Centaur tribe would be like this.”Harry was shocked and said, "I thought it was just a few simple cabins…"

    "Beyond everyone's imagination!"Ron followed with amazement.

    “Centaur has a unique civilization, even its own country.”Hermione whispered, "I have really understood the meaning of this sentence until today."

    For the Centaur tribe in front of you, it is not too much to describe in any praise.

    The Centaurs, carrying their bows and arrows, walked out of Forbidden Forest one by one, proudly watching the expressions of four people, Ivan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and were very satisfied with their shock.

    "It's a lot bigger than it was twenty years ago. There weren't so many rooms at the time."Sirius smiled and said, “The temple above the central island was built by Centaur's ancestors and is the most sacred place in the Centaur tribe. It has been centuries until now, enshrining the souls of many stars and Centaur ancestors.”

    "Gryffindor left behind items, where are you saved?"Ivan asked.

    “Yes, this is the ultimate destination for our trip.”Sirius bent down and the smile on his lips gradually converges. He lowered his voice and said, "When you enter the temple, don't talk in a strange way, don't touch it." Centaur has unique customs and distinctive magic, many of which are evil and dangerous. We must respect and hold the necessary vigilance…"

    "Strange customs?!"Everyone stunned.

    Seeing Sirius's serious expression, there are many horrible pictures in my mind.

    "I went to Egypt last summer and saw this kind of thing in those huge pyramids."Ron whispered, "The various curses, as well as the mummies made by the ancient Egyptian wizards, they will die of Pharaoh's body wrapped in layers of cloth, filled with magical items and bizarre spells."

    Without the majority, this is another attempt by ancient wizards to obtain eternal life. Ivan didn't know if the pharaohs who were famous in history had finally returned to life, but the evil dark magic that was born was definitely a headache for everyone.

    So, is the same for Centaur?

    They will make the corpses of their ancestors into mummies, and properly preserve them. I hope that the dead will return from the abyss of the underworld one day in the future. !

    Looking at the surrounding Centaur, Ivan couldn't imagine how they would do it. In his view, although the Centaur civilization is shocking, it is still in a relatively primitive clan state, and Ivan prefers that they will believe in their ancestors or a certain god.

    “Can the Centaur also make mummies?”Harry asked.

    "Of course it is impossible, here is not Egypt, Centaur is native to ancient Greece!"Hermione disagreed with this. "That was the most prosperous period of the ancient warlocks. Their customs may be related to this aspect, but what is specific, I have to check it again."

    A few of them talked low, but Firenze stood nearby and heard it.

    "We are different from human wizards and will not disrespect the ancestors' bodies and souls."He walked over and said softly, "Centaurs now believe in the power of the stars, and the planets give us a sign, but we have not been so many centuries ago."

    "What did you look like at that time?"Ivan asked.

    It’s not so polite to ask Centaur’s history so directly, but Firenze is not uncomfortable, he licks his dark blue eyes.

    "I told you before that the powerful magical item that the castle creator kept in the tribe was not complete, it split with the internal division of Centaur."Firenze turned to Ivan and said softly, "We have not fulfilled the original vows. For centuries, the elders have been feeling this responsibility."

    "What happened at the time, why did you split?"Ivan said, “I have read many of the history of magic books and have not seen any records related to this.”

    "The history of Centaur does not appear in human books, we don't trust humans."Firenze looked up at the dark red moon hanging over the temple and said slowly, "Our ancestors have made a big mistake, they believe in an evil dark god."

    "Evil Dark God?!"When I heard him, everyone was stunned.

    "Because time is too long, it is difficult for Centaur to find out whether the god is from ancient mythology or created by our ancestors."Firenze leaned forward and said in a near-whispered voice, "No one knows its name, where it comes from, we call it the god of the forest, it speaks to us in the void, asks us to offer sacrifices, and leads We are going to prosper."

    It sounds familiar, like the thing that the eyeball monster asks Acromantula to do for it, brutal and evil. If it wasn't for the time, Ivan even suspected that the god of the forest that popped up was the monster in the depths of the underground.

    "The so-called prosperity is essentially destruction. Because of this, there was an endless war inside Centaur. Finally, under the guidance of the stars, our ancestors won, but the huge tribes split. ”Firenze whispered, "The people who believe in evil gods are exiled from the tribe, mostly Centaur, who took a lot of things when they left, including the powerful magic items left by the castle creator in the tribe. Part."

    No one spoke, everyone was immersed in what Firenze said. Centaur has always been ignored by the magic circle, and the wizards don't bother to understand them. There is almost no communication between the two parties. People only know that the Centaurs live somewhere, and that's it.

    No one can imagine that this happened to the Centaur tribe in Hogwarts Forbidden Forest.

    Ivan shook his head. Is this the world of Harry Potter he is familiar with? !

    What happened in recent months is beyond imagination. It was originally intended to follow the clues of the secret treasures left by the four founders, but it has become more and more shocking. The ancient powerful dark wizard and the extremely dark creature are one after the other. One appeared in front of him.

    The more secrets you know, the more you feel the horror of this real world.
