In the mural, there was a pyramid-like building rising from the ground.
It was not a triangular pyramid like those in Egypt, but a flat-topped pyramid similar to the Mayan style.
The surface of the pyramid was carved with complex decorations. It could even be said to be gorgeous. The entire pyramid was blood red, with steps stacked one after another. At the entrance, there was a huge statue carved from stone and a pit used to place offerings.
Elwyn had seen these murals before, but when he saw the pyramid again, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.
He was sure that he had seen a similar building somewhere, but it was definitely not on the murals under the cave of the eight-eyed spider.
The murals had been destroyed by the eight-eyed spider and weathered for a long time, so they were almost indistinguishable. They were not as clear as the one in front of him.
"Elwyn, this building …" Hermione said thoughtfully, looking at the pyramid in the mural. "I seem to have seen it somewhere before."
"Hey, you have the same feeling?" Elwyn turned to look at her.
"Yes, I am sure I have seen this pyramid, but I can't tell where. Was it in a book?" Hermione said, staring at the mural, and then shook her head. "No, I have never seen it before. What I am familiar with is the feeling of this building."
"Feeling?!" Elwyn suddenly remembered. "Yes, it is the building on the stone slab."
He flipped the stone slab over. He had found this stone slab in front of the statue of Slytherin in Aragok's lair.
They had studied it and thought it was a map that pointed to the base of the despicable Hellball.
On the stone slab, mountains, oceans, and valleys were drawn with simple strokes.
In the middle was a temple altar, and a terrifying monster floated on top of the altar. In the clouds, a pair of huge red eyes and a head full of tentacles were the most eye-catching. It was devouring the souls of the terrified humans below …
The shape of this building was different from the pyramid in the mural in front of him, but it gave off a very similar feeling.
Elwyn put the stone slab in front of the mural and compared them.
"This is it!" Hermione said. "Strange, the two shapes are different, but the feeling is the same."
"I do have this feeling!" Elaine nodded.
"They are the same building, the base of the despicable Hellball." Elwyn said, "Just like our previous inference, this black magic that turned wizards into evil was left behind by him, and he completed this magic in his own lair."
"If it's a building, why is there such a huge difference in appearance?"
"I'm not sure!" Elwyn shook his head. Could the two buildings still be the same?
This was a building, not a living being. It could have the same soul, but different forms …
But whether it was him, Hermione, or Elaine, who had seen the murals and the stone slabs for the first time, they were all certain that these two completely different buildings were the same. The feeling they gave off was too similar, and there was an indescribable familiarity.
That was strange. What was the secret behind it?!
If he followed Slytherin's footsteps, would he have a chance to reach the building on the stone slab?!
"Do you remember, Elwyn? We investigated this stone slab and searched the map carefully." Hermione said, "But in the end, there was no result. If the information is correct, then the building on this stone slab might not be in the real world."
"Yes, the despicable Hellball might have hidden his lair!" This was the conclusion they had reached at that time.
"I mean, could the pyramid on the mural be the building in the real world?" Hermione said her speculation. "And the shape on the stone slab is the form after it entered the void. I heard you say that there is such a magic."
There was indeed such a magic. The Evil God itself existed in the void.
He was born in the void and existed in the void. That was their world.
So, after the despicable Hellball turned himself into an Evil God, he also wanted to enter the void.
Therefore, he created a space, a space where he lived after he became a God …
It was like the real surface world and the illusory inner world. The appearance of the buildings was different, but the essence was the same.
"That's why this map is useless. It doesn't mark the real world," Hermione said in one breath.
"That's possible!" Elwyn said. It was incredible when he thought about it, but he had seen too many incredible things. "But we have too little information, so we haven't made any speculations. I didn't investigate the use of the badge that dropped from the eyeball monster, but it should be related to this building … "
Although he said this, it didn't stop him from continuing to speculate.
After the young Slytherin adventured to the despicable Hellball's lair in Greece, he discovered the void world. He brought back the despicable Hellball, who had become evil, as his trophy.
In other words, he knew the way to enter that space.
With his personality, he would probably use that place as the most suitable place to keep the key to his secret treasure.
Only by collecting the other four items left behind, killing the despicable Hellball, and proving his strength could he enter that place, gain his approval, and obtain the key to the secret treasure.
Elwyn felt that things were becoming clearer. What he lacked now was evidence to prove everything.
Perhaps, this was the content of the test left behind by Slytherin.
The three of them continued their discussion and moved forward.
Elwyn couldn't understand why Salazar Slytherin wanted to leave behind this terrifying black magic.
Moreover, the records were very detailed. It was as if he was tempting the latecomers to use it.
On the murals on both sides, the despicable Hellball, who wore a black hood and whose face couldn't be seen clearly, stood at the top of the pyramid. He raised his wand high, guiding the magic. There were also small words on the side that recorded the incantation and the points to pay attention to when casting the spell.
In the pit in front of the pyramid, which was used for sacrificial ceremonies, it was filled with innocent lives.
The first step of this magic required humans, or more accurately, human souls.
Extremely evil things could split one's own soul, and painful torture could separate the souls of other lives. The despicable Hellball had already discovered this, so he used magic to cruelly torture these people to death and collect their souls.
In the pit, these innocent people lay there with painful expressions. Some were begging and praying in despair.
