In the construction site of the Hogwarts, just like the secret chamber built by Ravenclaw in the Black Lake, an underground secret chamber was also designed in the underground of Harris Castle on the island in the middle of the lake.
In this huge and spacious underground space, the construction area was very large, and the interior space was very high. It was like a palace for giants. In such a spacious space, there was not a single pillar supporting it. It was only reinforced by a huge amount of magical energy. In the center of this spacious underground space, there was a huge hexagonal platform. In order to get to the platform, one had to climb seven steps.
In between the corners of the hexagonal platform, there were six thick obsidian pillars. The pillars were engraved with layers of magical runes. At the top of these huge obsidian pillars was a pyramid-shaped object of different colors. Each side of the pyramid was in a triangular structure and was engraved with an omniscient mark. The omniscient eye on the pyramid was scanning the entire platform.
On this huge platform stood a round sphere with a diameter of 150 feet. This magical device looked very much like a huge crystal ball. If one looked at it from above, one could see that the six pillars were standing on the six vertices of a huge hexagram. The huge sphere stood in the middle of the hexagram.
At this time, three Allen and three Luna were busy on this platform.
Because it was in the construction stage, the whole secret chamber was empty. Except for the construction materials and tools needed for the construction, there were no decorative items. The basic construction materials of the secret chamber and the building materials of the new Harris Castle upstairs were similar to the original walls and floors in Ravenclaw Tower to prevent blasting damage. They were all made of heavy stones and alloys. The difference was that in this secret chamber, the ancient magical runes engraved with mithril were personally drawn by Allen and Luna.
The other construction workers in the secret room were not wizards, but Eris Dementors with raven feathers. As a key and confidential project, they were working independently. These Dementors were floating on the wall, which made them look like flying insects from afar.
These rotting Soul Catchers were installing some metal blocks engraved with ancient magical runes on the surface of the thick stone wall below. Although they had changed their appearance, this did not allow them to use magic like wizards. They used their scabby palms to pick up various tools provided by the Umbrella Corporation for the skilled workers to complete the construction with the help of the innate magic of these magical creations.
Unlike the adepts, who only used a single wand from start to finish, these Soul Eaters often had to float up and down to change their tools when they were faced with different projects. Their progress was slower than the adepts.
Black smoke surrounded Allen and his companions. They floated in the air and circled around the huge sphere in different directions. They constantly moved their arms slowly and used the magic on their fingers to carve very complicated magical runes on the surface of the sphere. They focused all their attention on the sphere in front of them. Because the process was very complicated, at least until they finished carving a small part of the sphere, they could not stop or make any mistakes. They had to complete it in one go, or the whole crystal ball would be destroyed.
Allen's forehead was sweating, but he did not bother to wipe it away.
Luna did not wear Luna's famous hat on her head, but Ravenclaw's famous crown on her head. She and her clones floated in front of an obsidian pillar outside the round platform. Her expression was focused, unlike her usual absent-minded appearance. Her somewhat protruding silver eyes were focused on the obsidian pillar in front of her. She slowly raised her arm and carefully carved the complicated magical runes on the obsidian in front of her. This made the radish-shaped earrings on her ears sway gently with the movement of her arm. Looking from the side, her face was slightly sweaty, which caused the reflection of the light caused her facial features to look more distinct. She had a bit of the style of Loynar Ravenclaw.
Allen glanced at her and retracted his gaze. For a moment, he could not move his eyes away from her. Relying on his memory and the control of his muscles due to the body-refining technique, he did not stop the movement of his hands.
As if sensing Allen's gaze, Luna glanced at Allen from behind the obsidian pillar. Then, she focused her attention on the obsidian pillar in front of her. The crown on her head also floated to the head of Allen who was staring at her. Then, she said in a singing voice, "If I do another one wrong … I won't be able to explain to Hermione when I report to her. This time, I won't have a good reason to fool her."
"There are still so many more to do. It's inevitable … When the time comes, I'll just say that I did it wrong." The crown brought some clarity to Allen and made him turn his head back. However, he did not stop talking. "Have you lost weight recently? You seem to have become prettier these few days. "
"It's a side effect of the divine power." Luna's ethereal voice floated in the empty room. There were even echoes of her voice. "Recently, the number of wizards who believe in me has increased compared to before. So, I modified some Soul Catchers to be my servants."
"There's such a good thing? In that case, the more side effects there are, the better … "Alan's hands didn't stop as he spoke." After defeating Voldemort in the duel, a small portion of the Soul Catchers have returned to the Ministry of Magic's control. If you still need them, you don't have to capture them yourself. Just get someone to send some over … You know that the Ministry of Magic doesn't trust them now. Moreover, the person behind these creatures … I only dared to ask my father to place them in unimportant places. "
After a while, only the sound of the Soul Catchers working could be heard in the empty room.
After a while, Helena, in her milky-white and translucent form, came down from the ceiling. She went through the ceiling above the huge sphere. "Father! Mother! Grandma didn't dare to disturb you with the mark. She asked me to come over and ask you what you're going to eat tonight … "
"Helena! I told you not to come in so casually! " Before Helena could finish, Luna raised her voice and interrupted her. "Morgan-le-Feil must have told you not to disturb your father when he asked you to come over."
The female specter was startled by her mother's sudden scolding. Her translucent body trembled and floated in the air. She nodded in a daze. She lowered her head and peeked at her mother, who had the aura of a strict but somewhat intimidating founder of the Eagle Courtyard.
"Why are you shouting so loudly …" Allen turned to glare at Luna. He continued to carve but his gaze was on his daughter. "Helena, this big sphere is the Mise nucleus. Although it's not dangerous today, once it's activated, anyone who comes into contact with it will be killed instantly. Any object will be disintegrated immediately … Even if you're an undead, you'll be destroyed immediately …" Allen's voice became gentler. "So, Helena, don't be afraid. Your mother is just worried about you."
"Tell your grandmother that we'll only be able to go back before school starts." Luna's expression returned to normal. She pointed at the snacks and cola on the side. "Your father and I have prepared snacks."
Seeing that her mother did not deny her father's words, Helena's tense translucent body relaxed. She carefully avoided the obsidian pillar in front of Luna and floated to her side. She did not speak, but her expression seemed to be happy.
"The reason why it took so long is that it's not just here … The entire Hogwarts has similar chambers." Allen was still worried. "… But you don't have to be so restrained. When you're free, come to the study. I'll mark the location on the map for you. Just remember it."
"Thank you, father …" Helena asked curiously. "Why do we have to do so much?"
"Because a single Mise nucleus only has an area of effect of one mile." Allen's main body finally finished carving the runes on the small area of the Mise nucleus. He floated back a little and looked at his masterpiece. "Just like how these runes only cover a small area of the entire sphere. This time, the Hogwarts have expanded to a large area. We have to do a lot more … In order to make it in time for school to start, we can't go back for now."
