"You know, I've never liked this castle." Elaine said to Elwyn and Hermione.
Her wine-red eyes slowly moved along the cliff to the terrifying bat sculpture on the wall of the castle, baring its fangs.
"But this is your family's castle..."
"Yes, but ever since my parents passed away, I've never lived here." Elaine said, her voice very low, "It's different from Hogwarts. In my memory, there's never any laughter here. The light is cold and dim, and no matter what people do, they do it quietly, trying not to make a sound, for fear of alerting the terrible monster below."
Imagine this scene, in such a gloomy and scary building, dead silence is the main theme.
Whether it's the owner of this castle or the thing that was sealed deep underground, it's not pleasant.
Elwyn noticed that this vampire castle did not have a gate, and there were no roads leading to the outside.
In other words, to reach here, other than flying up, the only way was to use the door key like they did.
Or, climbing up the bottomless cliff along the rope ladder thrown down from above...
"There are many legends about this castle, but none of them make people feel happy." Elaine sighed softly, "My uncle always told me that this is our family's responsibility, a heavy responsibility that we can't escape from, we can only bear it."
"After we get rid of that terrible evil god, you won't have to bear this responsibility!" Elwyn said.
"Yes, I know!" Elaine said, looking at Elwyn, she tried to smile.
Elwyn smiled at her and Hermione, then turned around to look at Keresis, whose face was gloomy, almost blending into the surroundings. He had a strange feeling that he couldn't explain.
He had been thinking about this problem. Unlike ordinary vampires, the power of the Slytherin family came from the blood of the evil god in their bodies. If they really destroyed the evil god, what would happen to the vampires who lost their source of power?
Is it a kind of release, or a deeper level of degeneration?
Without a doubt, without a source of magic, they would become weak, their magic would lose its effect, and their bodies would begin to age and lose their vitality …
For vampires who once possessed great power, the pain of losing everything can drive them mad.
Hopefully, this would not happen. Keresis might have thought of this, which was why he dismissed all the humans and did not let them return. Not all vampires agreed to destroy the Evil God.
This responsibility and power was a curse to them, but it was also a blessing at the same time …
"By the way, Hermione, do you want to go to my room and have a look?" Elaine said, as if she had forgotten her troubles just now.
Elwyn glanced at the two of them again and quickened his pace to catch up with Keresis.
"Thank you, Elwyn!" said Keresis. "Thank you for looking after Elaine all this time."
"It's nothing …" Elwyn felt that he should talk to him about what was on his mind just now.
In the previous plan, they put all their attention on the Evil God and neglected the vampires who were the guardians of the clan.
"Ever since her parents passed away, I did not want her to return here. This cursed responsibility is too heavy for Elaine. She is still a child." Keresis said. "The family has always been unstable. Many people have different ideas. You know this. Great power can make people lose themselves. Many people hope to cooperate with the terrifying Evil God."
"Not everyone is able to resist the temptation of power."
"That's right. If it wasn't for the fact that we can't enter the core area of the seal, I think we would have released the Evil God long ago." Keresis snorted coldly. "As for protecting the seal, it is just the choice of the weak!"
Although this was said, in a situation where they were not completely safe, maintaining the status quo was indeed the best solution.
"By the way, Keresis, has the seal been unlocked?" asked Elwyn.
"The seal of the core area has been unlocked. We can go in now. Dumbledore brought a strange boy with him." Keresis frowned. "That boy is a descendant of Slytherin. He seems to be …"
"Yes, the fifteen-year-old Tom Riddle, the young Lord Voldemort. I know." Elwyn paused and continued to ask. "Since you can go in, what did you see in the core area of the seal?"
"A lot. That terrifying Evil God, the information left behind by Slytherin, the secret of the source of our clan's power, the way to destroy the Evil God." Keresis paused and continued. "There is also the way to become more powerful and more depraved."
"Is there really a complete magic to become an Evil God?" Elwyn said hurriedly. "So, Lord Voldemort knows about it?"
"He should. Since he went in, there is no reason for him not to know." Keresis sighed. "Elwyn, after seeing these things again, I know what kind of mistake I made. Only now do I know how terrible the consequences of this mistake are."
It was indeed terrible. A Lord Voldemort who could become an Evil God at any time meant that his power would increase exponentially.
As for doing so, he would become even more evil, even surpass the abnormality of humans and become a twisted shadow monster.
For Lord Voldemort who had split his soul seven times, this was not a problem at all.
"No, we don't have to worry too much now. Dumbledore said that the magic is very difficult. With the current level of magic, it is impossible to cast it. Also, he lacks the necessary magic items …"
Even so, things were not safe enough for them to rest assured.
Lord Voldemort had the help of an Evil God. He knew much more than them.
In addition, Elwyn also remembered the prophecy made by Professor Trelawney.
There was a chosen person who would help Lord Voldemort obtain power beyond the imagination of the world. This power might help him become an Evil God. But who was that person?
He even had a terrifying thought. Could it be him?
Along the narrow path, the four of them moved through the silent castle.
About ten minutes later, they came to a spacious round hall.
Ancient portraits hung on the walls in a circle, all of them the ancestors of the vampires.
There were no windows in the hall. The cold moonlight shone through the gaps at the top. The room was dark and gloomy.
