Finally, Luna and Allen came to the door of the locked room.
"The door to this room is locked. There is no spell or item that can be broken that can open it." Allen said, "According to Dumbledore, there's a power in this room that's more magical and terrifying than death, human wisdom, and the power of nature. He thinks that this may be the most mysterious of the many topics that need to be studied in the Department of Mysteries. According to him, Harry Potter? Potter has all the energy in that room, but Lord Voldemort has none. Is he implying that this is the power of love? "
Luna's hand touched the door lock, and a blue stream of light flashed on the door. Luna gently pushed, and the door opened.
A fountain came directly into Allen's view. The water with the luster of mother of pearl gushed out continuously, and the spiraling steam shrouded the fountain. It was as if he could smell the ink and decay of the books in the library. Luna's fresh body fragrance mixed with the sweet smell of pudding. He could also smell the aura produced by the gathering of magical energy … (Author's note: According to the wiki, this locked room was called the Hall of Love. JK Rowling said in an interview that there was an aphrodisiac fountain inside.)
"Aphrodisiac fountain, what do you smell?" Allen asked with certainty. He was a little curious about what Luna could smell, and whether it was his scent.
"Of course it's your scent." Luna also sniffed hard and then explained, "I used my divine power to lock the door, and ordinary magic can't open it. This aphrodisiac fountain can make the wizards outside the door think that the power of love is in this room. "
"The power of love is actually not wrong in a sense. This room is actually the power of faith. Strong faith can make you distort and change reality. Love is also a kind of faith, and I mainly used the faith part. But this domain of divine power is not very useful to you. If you want to gain something in this room, you have to find your own path. " Luna opened her hands and felt the power of faith contained in the air. "People who forget their inner world also forget the value of their existence. The inner world is a supplement to the outer world. We have to find it and perfect it. If we don't find this value through mental journeys, then we'll really lose our way. "
Allen ignored the aphrodisiac and looked around the room, but he couldn't find any further information. He had no clue at all.
"This room is different from other rooms. You can't accumulate knowledge with time. You may understand it soon, or you may not understand it in your lifetime. Let's go first." Luna moved with light steps and bypassed the aphrodisiac fountain with Allen. Luna stood in front of a wall, her skirt fluttering. She turned around and reached out to Allen.
Although Allen didn't know what was going on, he put his hand in Luna's and held her hand in his palm. At the moment when their hands were clasped, Allen found that the wall behind Luna became illusory, as if there were ripples on the wall. Luna held Allen's hand and walked towards the wall. Like a ghost, she brought Allen through the wall and they came to another room.
The silver ceiling reflected the luxurious room, with walls of ivory and gold and floors of polished agate. Two ten-foot-tall statues, one black and one white, stood in the middle of the room. In the middle was the same statue as Ravenclaw's common room, Roina. The statue was identical to Ravenclaw's statue.
The white statue's facial features looked as if they had been carved by a knife. Her silver-white hair set off her perfect face and mesmerizing gray eyes. She was wearing a moonlight colored transparent gauze robe. She looked solemn and gentle, noble and mature. The entire statue seemed to be like the cycle of the moon. The light was changing slowly from bright to dim. A pair of female eyes surrounded by seven silver four-leaf clovers was placed on the pedestal. This was the statue's sacred emblem.
The other statue was wearing a wide black robe and a black feather mask on her face. Dense black feathers flowed from her face into the depths of the hood. When Allen looked at her, although the statue didn't speak, Allen could feel that she was chanting a song filled with sadness and loss. The sacred emblem on her pedestal was a black disc with a bluish-purple outer ring.
The two statues had a great difference in temperament, as if they were the opposite of light and darkness. Three mithril chests inlaid with gold were placed at the feet of the three statues.
Luna let go of Allen's hand and turned around. Allen found that the wall behind them was made of large and small uneven rectangles. Luna took off the layers of self-made necklace around her neck and inserted a carrot-shaped pendant into one of the depressions. In an instant, the bricks on the wall were rearranged. The chests under the two statues and the floor began to move to the sides, and a mithril cellar door appeared in their original positions.
Allen opened the secret door after moving the chests under the white statue. Under the room's light, a golden stream of light flashed. Allen narrowed his eyes. It was the Netherese scrolls. "Have you collected them?"
"Yes. Fifty of them." Luna's voice sounded behind Allen. Allen bent down and held them in his hands. On the thin gold leaf pages of the Netherese scrolls, the silver magic writing moved slowly as if they were alive. Each scroll weighed about a pound. The scrolls were not heavy in Allen's hands, but the knowledge they contained was incomparable. "I can't put them back in the tower in advance. Otherwise, if you find them and start to read them in your first year, you'll go crazy."
At this time, Luna walked to the other treasure chest's secret door. After opening the secret door, a bright crystal refracted the light in the room. At the same time, there were some faint shadows on the surface of the crystal.
The magic device looked like a crystal ball. It was a large bright crystal that was as tall as a person. Under the effect of Luna's levitation spell, the perfect spherical device floated out of the secret compartment and landed on the floor.
"This is a Mythallar, but it's already damaged. The function of an intact Mythallar is very simple. It directly connects the original magical energy to the whole area. This allows wizards to create quasi-magical items without the need for expensive materials and casting Magic Permanence. Without the Mythallar, the Netherese may not be able to reach the peak of its magical power. " Luna gently stroked the bright crystal. "Touching an intact Mythallar is a fatal act. Any creature that touches the device will be killed instantly. This cannot be avoided by any means. Any item, even magical items, that touches it, except for the pedestal below it, will immediately disintegrate. Any undead creature that touches the Mythallar will be immediately destroyed and eventually assimilated into the original magical power. After you finish reading the Netherese scroll and refer to this damaged Mythallar, you should be able to make a new one. But I can't go all the way on this path. I can only help you when you read, but you have to make it yourself. "
Allen recalled its function and pondered the current situation of the actual mountain. "Now is not the time to cut off the mountain and turn it around to build a city. But how about we let the Hogwarts Castle, the Forbidden Forest of the Black Lake and Hogsmeade Village fly into the sky and build a floating city like a city of learning? With this and the reform of the curriculum, Hogwarts will be the best magic academy in the world. This should not be a challenge to other magic academies. "
"Well, Helga will be happy. You take them back to the tower first. I'll stay here to finish up and close the door again. Let's meet in the office later. We're in luck. This most common and smallest one is about the height of a person. But including the pedestal, it's about five hundred pounds. Fortunately, it doesn't take up too much space. It's said that there are Mythallar Mythallar Cores that are the size of a city."
When Allen returned to the office, Luna was already half lying and half sitting on the chair. She seemed to have pulled out a few research notes of the predecessors of the Silent Ones from the bookshelf and was casually flipping through them.
"These research materials are all baseless conjectures. Some are a little reliable, some are completely irrelevant. These materials are of little use." Luna casually threw a notebook on the table and picked up a new one and flipped through a page casually. "But if we can see this power from the perspective of a wizard who can't control it, it may help us avoid the wrong way of thinking."
"Just like Hermione was born as a Muggle but participated in the Muggle Research Section. She said that this way, we can understand how a Muggle is seen from a wizard's perspective." Allen also pulled out a chair and sat down. He flipped through the research notes that Luna had thrown on the table. "Even if it's not correct knowledge, from another perspective, it's still worth learning — as long as we can distinguish it."
At this time, Saul Crocker woke up. He rubbed his stiff neck, his eyes sleepy. After realizing that he had just fallen asleep, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked up. He saw Allen and Luna sitting opposite him and flipping through the materials. His body relaxed. Allen put down the notes in his hand and nodded to him. Saul smiled awkwardly. "Sorry, maybe I was too late last night. I actually fell asleep."
"It's okay, Mr. Kroc. We're going to have lunch. We have other things to do in the afternoon. Do you want to go together?" Allen and Luna looked at each other, stood up, and said goodbye to each other.
"No, no, I'll walk you out." Unlike Allen and Luna, who could leave at any time, he had no background and had to wait until after work. In fact, Saul, who regarded the work of the Silent Man as a hobby, did not feel that it was a burden to him. If it were not for the rules, he even planned to live in the Department of Mysterious Affairs on the ninth floor of the Ministry of Magic.
Of course, in Saul's mind, the less time Allen and Luna spent here, the better. It would be best if they were not interested in this place at all.
Allen and Luna did not refuse Saul's kindness. Kroc had sent them off out of kindness. After all, if they didn't let him send them off, he would be even more worried.
They said goodbye to the Silent Man in the round room. As soon as the plain black door opened, Penello, who was standing on the corridor wall with her arms crossed and one leg bent, put down her foot and hurried over. "Allen." Her originally cold face showed a gorgeous smile to Allen, and then she nodded to Luna.
Wolf Mother, Victor, Fatty, and the doctor stood side by side behind her and greeted Allen and Luna neatly.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Allen asked. "Even if you can't enter the Department of Mysterious Affairs because of the rules, you can inform me with the mark."
"I can't disturb your work. I heard that the research of the Silent Man is very dangerous. Allen, since you and Luna belong to the Ministry of Magic, and in such an important department, I'll apply for me and a few others to be your guards. In addition, Aura has already stationed in the Hogwarts and started to protect the school. This way, we can follow you when the school starts. " Penello pursed her red lips and looked a little proud. She had this plan ever since she heard that Luna was going to be the Silent Man. Although she had to be responsible for the Red Umbrella Department in the Umbrella Company and could not follow Allen all the time like the other members, she could at least follow him in her free time, unlike the previous two years when they were apart more than together.
"Master, Miss Lovgood, Long Eye was sent to protect Prime Minister Muggle, and Four Eye was in charge of the werewolf research in the mansion's laboratory, so this time there are only the four of us and Miss Krivat as guards. With Master and Miss Lovgood's strength, you don't need our protection, but please don't mind. If there's anything, just let us know. Recently, the Death Eaters have tried many times to kidnap and attack other wizards. Although almost all of them have been thwarted, if you encounter such troublesome trifles, let us handle it. " Wolf Mother was obviously still upset about the battle at the Ministry of Magic. Even after Allen returned, the Umbrella Team was rewarded by Owen with the position of captain of the armed Aura team of the Ministry of Magic. Judging from Fatty's unsmiling expression, they knew that they had been severely trained during this period.
"Speaking of the mansion, I almost forgot about her. How's Dolores? Is he still alive? "Allen thought of Dolores who was captured at the beginning of the battle at the Ministry of Magic. Umrich, he had not had time to deal with her.
"She's been locked up in the underground prison, but because you didn't say anything, Allen, we haven't done anything to her. We just let her eat and drink well in there … Do you want to get rid of her?" Penello did not have a good impression of Umrich in the Ministry of Magic before, and after hearing Emily's description of Umrich's attitude towards Muggle and the werewolf, she was even more disgusted. Now that she misunderstood Allen's meaning, her eyes lit up.
"Hmm … I just haven't thought of how to deal with her yet. To be honest, her attitude towards me isn't bad …" Alan was now in a difficult position. If he let her go directly, he would be unwilling to let her stay in Azkaban. The Soul Catchers had already betrayed Voldemort's faction, and the Ministry of Magic hadn't had the time to deal with them yet. Moreover, just going to jail didn't seem like it would make him feel any better. After all, the reason why he had captured her back at the mansion and not the Ministry of Magic was to make him feel better. However, if he killed her directly, her attitude towards him was still considered respectful, and it wouldn't reach this point.
"Let's keep her locked up first. I'll deal with her later." Allen noticed Penello's disappointed expression and added, "Don't kill her. Don't make her crazy. You can do whatever you want to her."
Allen noticed that the doctor did not dare to say anything because of the Wolf Mother's presence, but she looked envious. He sighed and said, "Remember to bring the doctor with you when you go … She can make sure of that."
