Why did vampires sleep in cramped coffins, this ancient and incomprehensible custom could no longer be investigated.
But without a doubt, seeing rows of coffins in such a gloomy room, one couldn't help but feel a chill down one's spine.
Especially upon closer inspection, many of the coffins were covered with dark red blood clots, silently narrating the dark history of the past.
From the distribution of the blood clots, it seemed like some sort of living thing like a human was pressed onto the coffin, and then bitten down … ….
Furthermore, these coffins were very tall, very large, the coffin lids were pressed down by huge rocks, as if afraid that the thing inside would escape.
On the surrounding walls, those gloomy and sinister portraits of vampires made one shudder. They were different from the commonly seen portraits in the magic world, they were more like those Muggle portraits without magic, but their eyes seemed to be able to move, staring straight at you.
The ancient legend of vampires, the gloomy atmosphere, the rows of coffins, the frightening portraits, all these elements piled together, this place was like the final scene of a horror movie. But what made Elwyn uncomfortable was the chaotic magic in the room.
He could confirm that there were countless powerful magic installed here, as long as there was the slightest mistake, touching something that shouldn't be touched, these magic would be triggered.
Even Gringotts' most tightly guarded treasury couldn't compare to this place.
"This is the meeting hall." Elaine said, her voice echoed in the room.
This hall had a special design, it could make small sounds produce loud echoes, lingering for a long time.
"There are people guarding this place all year round, I rarely come here, because I don't want to disturb the ancestor's soul. When I was young, my mother told me, powerful ancestors would be buried here after their death, waiting for them to wake up from their slumber."
"Sucked out from their slumber, you mean undead?"
Elwyn looked at the coffin closest to him, this meant that it really contained the corpse of a vampire.
Or more accurately, it was the body of an undead creature, because they would wake up.
"This sounds like an ancient Egyptian tradition, the ancient Egyptian pharaohs and wizards believed in reincarnation, they would eventually return to this world after death." Hermione said, carefully examining the complex patterns on the coffin, "That's why they would make their own corpses into mummies. Last summer, when Elwyn and I went to Egypt for a tour, we saw similar ruins, especially the words left behind by the god of death Osiris in the Great Pyramid: Quickly wake up from your slumber, your sight can overcome everything that hurts you … …"
"That's right, but those words don't have magic." Elwyn said, "It won't wake the dead pharaohs from their slumber."
In terms of the study of life forbidden spells, the three most accomplished books in Egypt were the Golden Sun Scripture, the Dark Scripture of the Undead, and the Emerald Jade Record. The Emerald Jade Record recorded the mysteries of alchemy. Without the decryption of the Book of Abraham, it would be difficult to know the true secrets hidden in it.
Even if they knew, they wouldn't be able to successfully create magic stones.
As for the remaining two books, they were both buried in the long river of history with the fall of Pharaoh Rabissis II.
Without the help of magic, even those once powerful spellcasters couldn't return to this world.
"It's not immortality, but special magic can allow powerful vampire warriors to survive in another form." Keresis said, walking to the coffin in the center. "Of course, other than respect for the ancestors, the main reason why the meeting hall doesn't allow people to come near is because it leads to the seal, and there are many dangerous magic spells set up here."
He used his wand to gently knock on the side of the coffin three times, and the coffin slowly moved to the left, revealing a crypt.
"I'll go first. Be careful, don't step on the specially marked steps."
Keresis walked down the exposed stairs, making marks from time to time, turning the stairs that couldn't be stepped on green.
Hermione, Elaine, and Elwyn walked into the secret passage one by one, everyone focused and careful.
The security measures of the vampires were indeed very tight, after all, this was related to the terrible evil god sealed in the castle.
If one didn't know the correct way, even a wizard as powerful as Lord Voldemort would find it difficult to reach the sealed place under the castle.
To be more precise, this should be a cage, a cage left behind by Salazar Slytherin.
Now, they were about to enter this cage.
After walking down the gloomy secret passage for about ten minutes, Elaine suddenly stopped, her face pale.
"I heard that voice, a cold voice, no warmth, no emotion," she said slowly, her body and voice trembling. Her body and voice were trembling. "It mentioned fate, the fate of the bloodline. Only by surrendering to it can one be saved in the darkness..."
"It's the voice of the evil god's body, it's getting stronger and stronger!" Keresis's face was also pale.
His breathing gradually became heavier, as if he couldn't resist the evil god's whisper in his ear.
Elwyn and Hermione looked at each other, they didn't hear anything.
Because of the power of the seal, the whisper of the evil god's body could only be heard by vampires who had a blood connection with it.
And because of the power in their blood, they couldn't resist it at all, they could only resist it, shivering in the darkness.
"Call, Guardian!" Elwyn waved his wand upwards to summon the Tutelary.
Beside him, Hermione also summoned her Tutelary.
Silver light fell, and the positive power dispelled the darkness and the evil god's whisper. Keresis and Elaine's condition gradually improved.
"Let me do it, Hermione!" Elwyn said. "My magic can maintain the Tutelary."
Hermione nodded and dispersed the magic. Elwyn controlled the Tutelary to land on Elaine's shoulder.
"What a beautiful kitten!" Elaine said, looking at the Tutelary on her shoulder. "It's the same as your Animagus form."
After the evolution, Elwyn's Tutelary had clearly become a leopard, but Elaine couldn't tell the difference between a leopard and a cat.
"That voice, it's gone!" Elaine said, closing her eyes. "But I can feel it, it's still nearby."
"The lower you go, the weaker the remaining power of the seal, the stronger its influence. When you enter the core, you'll also hear its whisper." Keresis said with concern. "Hermione, Elaine, you can go up and wait for us …"
"I want to stay!" Elaine hurriedly shook her head. "With Elwyn's Tutelary, I'm not afraid of anything."
"I can summon the Tutelary to protect myself." Hermione also said, not planning to leave.
