v2 Chapter 1744： The chrysalis on the giant tree

This giant tree is also an alchemy item? What is Sirius talking about?

How is this possible, it sounds incredible! How can there be such a big alchemy creation, even the powerful ancient warlocks can't complete it? ! Besides, what is the purpose of using alchemy to create this giant tree?

Hermione asked two more questions, but Sirius did not explain. He just said that they would understand right away that some things were too pale to express in words. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you feel the thrilling shock.

Harry, Hermione, and Dobby followed Sirius towards the giant tree. The closer they got, the more they could feel the shock brought by this behemoth.

If there is a giant phobia, then this tree is definitely the most terrifying nightmare.

undefinedThe dense branches were intertwined above their heads, exuding a terrifying sense of oppression. There were no leaves, only those white fruits were shimmering, as if they contained something.

Vaguely, you can see some black shadows inside the fruit.

Soon, they understood why Sirius said that this giant tree may also be an alchemical creation, because the branches of the giant tree are also full of complex spell runes.

Even every other distance, there is a magic stone shining with magic light.

Similar to the strange alchemy creation that brought them here just now, the magic stone and the spell rune are connected by countless looming "vessels", which are densely covered with the branches of the entire giant tree, transporting those white fruits. energy.

Hermione screamed suddenly and grabbed Harry's arm next to her. She was shaking, looking up in disbelief.

It was not until this time that she realized that it was not a white fruit at all, but translucent pupae one after another, which were hung on the branches. Through the shimmering white light, the black shadow inside the chrysalis loomed.

They make up some vague shadows in the shape of children, which are terrifying to think about...

Hermione realized right away that they were all house-elves. Each white chrysalis represents a house elf.

I don't know how many chrysalis there are densely packed here, this picture is too terrifying.

Dobby was completely terrified. He covered his eyes tightly with his ears and didn't dare to look. He kept saying, "They're talking to Dobby, Dobby wants to get out of here..."

Now, it was only Harry and Hermione who supported him, and he didn't collapse.

The home of the house-elves refers to this tree! Hermione never imagined that a house elf home would look like this.

Just from the name, I thought it would be a very warm place!

But in fact it is not at all. Who, for what purpose, used unimaginable alchemy to build this giant tree here, trapping countless house elves in it?

All this is a mystery!

Below the giant tree is a cross-shaped building. The whole body is made of cyan rock. The building is carved with complex patterns, which is an exotic style that has never been seen before.

"I just went in and looked at it briefly. It's all alchemy supplies. But I've never seen such an alchemy laboratory." Sirius said, I don't know if it was an illusion. His voice was not loud, and he seemed to be afraid of disturbing something. .

With awe and vigilance, the group entered the building. There were many strange stone statues, gems and other materials scattered inside, as well as a lot of equipment, as well as house-elves carved from stones...

Their appearance is not very similar to the current house-elves, it can only be said that they are similar, and there are many differences in the specific details.

There are bottles and jars on the shelf next to them. The liquid inside has evaporated, leaving only empty bottles. There are also some books on the other shelf, all written in ancient rune.

"Unbelievable, look at the titles of these books, "The Magical Composition of Super Ancient Alchemy", "Life Giving and Deprivation", "Devouring the Abyss: Horror Nightmare and Dreamland"..." Hermione stretched out her hand to get a book, but Just as her fingers touched it, the book instantly decayed and dissipated.

"It's been too long, many things here are fragile, only stones and gems remain." Sirius reminded, "Don't touch those things again, it may be dangerous."

"This is indeed an ancient alchemy laboratory. It may be that the ancient warlocks created the tree above and the house elves." Hermione analyzed, while carefully observing the objects around, "but from these, it is possible to I can't see what's going on."

"I just want to know, if the Hufflepuff house-elf does come back here, where is he now?" Harry asked, staring at a stone elf lying on the ground, bigger than the current one. House-elves are much stronger and look more like scaled-down giants.

"Will it be..." Hermione didn't say it, she pointed to the top with her finger.

Harry didn't know what to say or what to say, and if that house-elf really carried Hufflepuff's treasure, wrapped in some chrysalis... then he wouldn't find it strange. , but I have to admit that the thought made him feel very uncomfortable, and they may never find him!

"Any other clues?"

"There's a door over there, I didn't go in just now," said Sirius. "If there's any secret, it might be inside. To open the door, I need Dobby's help."

"Dobby is willing to serve, sir."

Dobby's voice trembled uncontrollably. Ever since he realized that the white chrysalis hanging from the giant tree might be house-elves, he has been covering his eyes with his long ears.

Everything here scares him, especially the constant voices.

People don't know what to do, they have too many questions about this place. The more you see, the more questions arise.

Led by Sirius, everyone went deep into the building and soon came to a huge corridor with hollowed-out walls. Through the corridor, they could see that they were located directly under the giant tree.

Thick roots that would take several people to embrace were scattered all around and burrowed deep into the soil. In front of the building, in the center surrounded by tree roots is a lake. As soon as they approached, powerful magic was oncoming, and the lake itself was made of magic.

"This might be the fountain of good luck!" Hermione said with interest, feeling the magic.

"Maybe, I've never seen a spring so full of magic power. It's like a lake of potion." Sirius said, "As for whether it can really bring good luck, I don't know."

The lake water is very clear, and standing on the edge can see the bubbles emerging from the bottom, which proves that this is indeed a spring, not someone pouring potion into it. It is these springs that provide nutrients to the giant trees above.
