章 332: Chapter 332 In-depth

The goblin surveyed Felix with a very uncomfortable look.

"Clammy Vera has said many nice things about you. Mr. Felix Hap." He bowed slightly, "It is an honour to work with you, I am Gonuk." He said, snapping his fingers so hard that his thin nails lit up, and then the goblin's body became a blur.

Then he turned away and headed towards the three people at the camp - Faisal, Rahman, and Clammy - who are examining their equipment and deciding what to bring in. This included curse detectors, dark magic detectors, and various protective gear.

Hermione muttered in a small voice as the goblin named Gonuk completely ignored her, knowing that he didn't have to look up much to see her.

Felix said softly: "The goblins from the Gringotts are quite friendly compared to the rest, if you meet a strange goblin in the wild, you have to stay alert because there is no way to be sure if they are safe enough."

Hermione turned her head and whispered, "Goblin subversive groups?" Since the signing of the agreement, goblins and wizards have remained at peace in general, but there is still a small group of goblins, who harbour a deep hatred for wizards and try to subvert their dominance.

Especially in their own base, this attitude is undisguised. Many wizard jokes are made up and circulated in goblin taverns. The reverse is also true.

Clammy trotted over, "These are special dragon hide gloves that have some defense against curses."

"Professor, can I use magic?" Hermione thought of a key question.

"Of course, you can, the British Ministry of Magic can not control you here." Felix said, "You can give it a go right now as a warm-up."

Hermione froze, then she took out her wand and recited the spell for the shield charm, and an invisible barrier stood in front of her.

"Very well, that's it."

They then entered the pyramid, following a twisted and narrow crack in the middle of the stonewall, the crowd grasped their wands and half-crouched their bodies as much as possible, or they might bump into the granite stones above their heads if they stood up slightly straighter. They walked forward with their heads bent silently, and the sound of their breathing is amplified because of silence.

After walking for some time with the light from the tip of the wand, the road split in two at a junction.

"To the right is the Pharaoh's tomb, and to the left is the dark chamber we found." Clammy stated.

They walked toward the left, encountering two or three stone steps down every dozen or so feet away, the terrain shortening along the way, and before they knew it, they had been walking for half an hour, deeper and deeper underground.

Finally, the clear path ahead, there are two paths connected to this square room.

One path was where they had come from, and on the other side - directly in front of the group - there is a dark hole, where the light is even dimmer than the surrounding area, so dark and quiet that it looked like someone had poured pitch-black ink on it and played a nasty joke on them.

"That's the passage we encountered earlier, the black stuff is actually a static black mist, but if you stimulate it-" Clammy said, as she fired a golden ray of light inside.

"Oh, my God." Hermione whispered as the large mass of black mist began to churn, and a loud crackling sound came from inside.

Felix took an eagle-shaped magic lamp out of his ring, and the bronze eagle flapped its wings gently, opening its mouth and spitting out a ball of light that illuminated the room.

"Is this the magic lamp you mentioned?" Clammy asked Hermione who was next to her quietly, Hermione nodded while observing the surrounding scenery. The four sides of the rooms were fused into stone pillars, with no extra decoration on the pillars and continuous grooves carved from top to bottom on the surface of the exposed parts.

Felix stood in front of the passage, motionless, concentrating on the end as if his eyes penetrated the black fog, and he is watching an interesting TV program.

The goblin Gonuk stood by his side, carefully poking his nails into the black mist, and after a few seconds, took them out, bringing out a trace of black mist from his fingertips. "Can confuse the position, has a slight corrosive, no problem for a short time, but for a long time just breathing is a big problem."

"We can use the Bubble-Head Charm." Clammy suggested.

"I wouldn't use it." The goblin muttered as he pulled out a silver mask, placed it over his head, and poked his head into the black mist, "Ha, solved."

"Mr. Gonuk ... that's the silverware you made?"

"Of course, little girl." Gonuk said proudly, "It's not just silverware, our people have an overwhelming talent for identifying various materials, which is as easy as breathing for us."

"Even newborn children instinctively discern impure metals, and we prepare rituals for newborns, offering gold and silver of varying purity for them to choose from, and the most gifted goblins will be nurtured from an early age."

" Talent ..." Felix's eyes flickered, and he returned to his senses, his heart twitching a little when he heard the goblin Gonuk's words. Wizard children also have all kinds of magical gifts, such as parseltongue, such as Metamorphmagus, but there are other gifts that are not obvious, and some people will not even be aware of this in their lifetime.

For example, some people are born with an affinity for animals and can easily gain their trust. Felix feels that such people are well suited to learn Uagadou's self-morphing, which is a human transfiguration technique distinct from Animagus, which is capable of turning you into elephants and cheetahs at will, the master of the art among them can transform into many animals.

Felix believed that he would be able to see this kind of magic at the new school year's tournament of champions.

It also occurred to him that wizards' talent is not limited to this, some wizards are more adept at a certain type of magic, for example, Harry is particularly talented in dueling magic, exceeding his peers by a large margin, and many ancient wizards also showed this trait.

In ancient times, ancient wizards would tend to pick apprentices who possessed similar talents to their own, and those who were more different from themselves would not be valued, even if their talents were good.

Felix drew his wand and stabbed it forward. The wand made a "swoosh" sound and cut through the air, followed by a spell that flew into the black fog, which gradually dispersed after a while.

"What did you do?" Goblin Gonuk asked in amazement.

"Any magic will leave traces, I just found the key node used when arranging the black fog." Felix said briefly, the black fog dissipated, everything in the corridor became clear, with the light of the magic lamp in the room, you can see a black stone slab hanging on the walls on both sides of the passage.

Hermione carefully came over and stood at the entrance, looking in amazement at the closest slab, the pattern on it looked very familiar to her, "Ancient magic? The magic sequence!"

"Yes," Felix responded softly. "Don't go in." He suddenly said sternly, this is not to Hermione, Hermione looked to the side, the goblin Gonuk already walked ahead.

章 333: Chapter 333 The Corrupted Horcrux

" I thought there is no more danger."

Goblin Gonuk asked through his mask, he examined the passage in front of him and took another step forward, a fierce spark emitted from the empty air in front of him, hitting the goblin, he flew away like a ragged kite.

Faisal and Rahman stepped forward to check Gonuk's condition, then the middle-aged male wizard Rahman said, "No major injuries, he is wearing a protective suit, so he only temporarily passed out."

"There is still a hidden trap left?" Clammy asked Felix in surprise, "Didn't the curse originate from the black mist?" She picked up the curse detector and kept scanning it, only to have what looked like an antenna in her hand suddenly explode, which startled her.

"That explains it, a curse does exist." She said with a grimace.

"Actually, there is more than one." Felix said as the entire empty corridor in his perspective is dotted with dense lights, each representing a curse, and they float like plankton.

He turned his head and asked Clammy, "Does this pyramid ... had any magical items that can store magic in the part you finished the exploration before?"

Clammy shook her head, "We found quite a few things that still had residual magic, such as golden daggers and holy beetle amulets, but they are already very weak, unlike those cursed items in the outside world in which innocent blood will maintain the effects of the curse."

After a while, the goblin Gonuk woke up, the first thing he did after waking up was raising his clothes, followed by a wail, Hermione then realized that he was wearing silver body armour.

" A hole in it!" He shouted in despair, "I wonder if it still can be fixed...."

...

Felix walked ahead, as the group followed a dozen steps after him, watching him poking the air here and there as a curse after curse exploded like a firework.

The sheer quantity of dense curses made the hearts of those who followed behind him chill.

Felix stopped occasionally to survey the slabs on either side of the passage. He originally thought that with the size of these slabs, there should be at least a dozen ancient magics, but the true number is less than that, and so far he has only seen three, including the black lightning magic in its entirety.

There were quite a few slabs with the self-introduction of the wizard who created this dark room, including the experience of his travels. He said he was a travelling sorcerer from Greece who crossed the Aegean Sea and discovered a source of magic in the upper tombs - a quadruple conical gem - while exploring the pyramids. After which, he decided to create a dark chamber to benefit future generations.

"The curse in the hallway is layered and will get stronger, so if you're not sure, don't push it and leave the opportunity to others." Hermione read out the words on the slate, "So that's it!" The others also look dumbfounded.

"Are the ancient wizards too strong, or are we just too weak?" Clammy said as she slumped, it turned out that they couldn't withstand even the weakest test.

"Don't make up your mind so easily, maybe those words are just lies." Felix said, as he steadily moved forward, suspicion in his mind became more and more clear.

One fact is, were the ancient wizards strong? If you look at ancient magic, they are indeed powerful, but when it comes to the flexibility of means, they're far inferior to the present.

Most ancient wizards can't use Apparition, as for others spells such as alarm spells, life magic, auxiliary magic is also not as perfect as the current system, those ancient wizards who are famous in the history, while constantly amplifying their strengths, will also expose their shortcomings.

This is also the reason why Felix surmised from various magic handbooks that the ancient wizards kept their secrets strictly.

The road ahead is rough and dangerous, Felix has let them far behind, he also cloaked himself in basilisk skin and dragon hide tanned cloak, moving forward a bit by bit as he continued to clean up these curses.

These curses are also mixed with a variety of powerful and bizarre dark magic, he didn't know how the dark room master preserved it, probably stored in a stone, or granite ceiling.

Only, most of the curses in the stone have dissipated with time, leaving only a faint bright light and evil aura. They should have existed separately and were not linked to the overall defense.

Felix was increasingly certain that the owner of the dark room was a dark wizard, a powerful dark wizard at that. It was as if Felix had entered a museum of dark magic, where the many dark magics circulating in modern times could find their counterparts.

Finally, he stopped in front of a large bronze door with a bronze door ring and no extra decoration.

The goblin Gonuk shouted from afar: "Can we come over?" He said eagerly, in the goblin's view, everything here is the property of the Gringotts, they pay money and manpower to eliminate the hidden danger for the Ministry of Magic of all countries, and the compensation is the treasure in the relic.

The group came closer and lined up to look at the bronze door, seeing Felix in deep thought, they did not dare to disturb him, this whole journey has proved his strength and knowledge, as he diffused the spine-tingling curses which they even failed to find.

After a long time, Felix breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Got a problem?" Hermione asked in a whisper, her voice amplified in the dark room, even if she was whispering.

"I'm a little surprised that there doesn't seem to be any danger ahead."

This is what puzzled him quite a bit, he glanced around at the others, "You guys move to that side and avoid anything unexpected." Perhaps his expression was too serious, the crowd drew their wands and carefully moved aside, and Felix beckoned the eagle-shaped magic lamp over.

Completing all this, he reached out his hand and knocked on the bronze door ring, the knocking sound formed an echo, and the hearts of the crowd thumped up. After a few seconds, the door suddenly cracked open with a gap, dust continuously falling out, accompanied by an ear-splitting "creaking" sound, the gap continued to expand, followed by the sound of something scraping, Felix cautiously backed away, two black shadows smashed down, raising a high smoke and dust.

"Bang! Bang!"

The crowd hiding on the sides saw the true nature of the black shadows. "It's a Basilisk!" Hermione screamed, she definitely can not mistake it, in the second year, she and the Basilisk fought head-on.

Only what is in front of them is just a body of two Basilisks, they have long been dead, and because they have been placed in the confined space for too long, just after contact with the outside air, the ghostly green skin of the Basilisk quickly decayed, the strong smell of rotting came across.

"Vomit!"

A few people gagged dryly, Felix waved his wand and cast a Bubble-Head Charm for them, while he already topped himself with a humanoid shield charm, as he strode into the chamber, his judgment became crystal clear.

The eagle-shaped magic lamp followed behind him, the light shone inside through him, bringing this place isolated from the outside world back to the present. In the empty small square room, coiled a dozen large and small Basilisk, they are all without an exception dead, when Felix passed them, the colour on the body of the Basilisk along with the surrounding circular pillars lost their lustre altogether.

Felix went straight to the very center, where there is a circular altar in the middle.

On the altar stood a statue of a middle-aged male wizard with silver-white hair and yellow eyes, smiling gently. The wizard held a quadruple-conical gem in his hand, from which a dull light emanated, the source of the magic that Felix had been looking for.

A crack split from the top of the statue's head, all the way down his brow, almost shattering his entire body in half. From this long crack, black sticky blood oozed out, but it had long since dried up, forming an unpleasant smudge.

Felix could almost imagine how, over thousands of long years, it had been worn down, broken, and cracked little by time to become what it is now.

"It really turned out to be you, Herpo the Foul." Felix said softly, he looked as if he is admiring him as well as mocking him, "So Horcrux can also decay?"

As if in response to his words, Herpo's statue - or a Horcrux - began to lose its lustre a bit, becoming gray and ashen, and with a gentle blow from Felix, it completely fell apart.
