"Let's talk about the devil." Harry said. In order not to let Hermione and Ron quarrel again, he tried to change the topic. "By the way, Elwyn, didn't you see a devil before? It was when you, Sirius, and Hagrid went to find the giant. Tell us in detail, what does a devil look like? "
"The devil's form is different. They don't have a fixed form or appearance. The devil I saw in Dijon, France, was a witch hundreds of years ago, but when I saw it, it no longer had a human form. "
"Was it a ghost?"
"It was much more terrifying than a ghost," Elwyn said. "Well, how do I describe it? You can imagine the appearance of the devil, the appearance of the devil in your heart. Its skin is cold, grayish white, sharp fangs protruding from its mouth, black horns on its head, its hands are deformed claws, and … "
"Terrifying," Elaine said. She had not heard Elwyn talk about this experience.
"Yes, it was terrifying!" Elwyn said. His memory went back to that night, recalling the wandering ghost in the Owl Castle, the strange and cunning skeleton, the mirror with the devil, and the sad past and emotional disputes. "In short, it was a disgusting guy. But the real terrifying thing was not the devil, nor the powerful magic or power it had, but the human heart. "
What left a deep impression on Elwyn was not the devil, but the love triangle full of hurt and lies.
The Wizard who looked kind on the surface but was actually extremely twisted on the inside, the vicious Demon Witch who would not hesitate to kill her own parents, and the Witch Doctor Shukerya who did not hesitate to use aphrodisiac to poison everyone in the castle for love. She was the victim, but at the same time, the murderer.
The human heart was the most terrifying thing. It was as dazzling as the noon sun, making people unable to look directly at it.
The devil, the devil, and so on, were just the embodiment of the ugly human heart.
Because it had a physical body, it was not so scary, because it could be defeated, and could be destroyed.
"Human heart?" Elaine repeated, and said directly, "I don't understand, it sounds so complicated."
"It's very complicated. I can't explain it clearly." Elwyn said. Noticing that Elaine was staring at him intently, he remembered the consequences of not explaining how to become a real vampire last night. He hurriedly added, "Actually, you can ask Dumbledore later. I think he should be able to clearly explain what the human heart is."
"Forget it. I'm not too interested in these things. It doesn't sound edible." Elaine shook her head.
"I'm curious, how are demons born?" Hermione asked.
"Different demons are born in different ways. There are many ways, but they all involve the Demon Altar, which is the core item to summon demons." Elwyn said, "Through the Demon Altar, a wizard can turn people, objects, names, souls, and even the product of a certain thought into a demon, a supernatural creature with infinite life and substance, and make them do things for him."
"That sounds good." Ron said, "A powerful demon servant can help you complete what you want to do."
"Many ancient warlocks and wizards did this. They obtained power and success by raising demons." Elwyn said, "The most famous one should be King Solomon and his 72 Devil Pillars. He is very famous among Muggle and wizards."
"Yes, King Solomon! How do you build a Demon Altar? "Ron immediately asked," Is it difficult? "
"I don't know. Demonic magic flourished in ancient times, but now it has completely declined. Even if there are inheritances, they are all forbidden black magic, very evil." Elwyn replied, "As for the difficulty of summoning a demon, I think as long as you master the correct method and various materials, it shouldn't be too difficult. It mainly depends on what kind of demon you want to summon."
To summon a demon like the 72 Devil Pillars, it would probably be impossible even if you exhausted yourself to death.
However, the summoning that they were going to carry out later, which was the demon in the form of a house-elf, was not very difficult.
Elwyn had already studied it many times. All they needed was the corpse of a house-elf and some magic.
In fact, he knew the method of building two Demon Altars.
They were all black magic recorded in the book 'Unveiling of Cutting-Edge Black Magic'. Ivan had studied them a few times, and the difficulty level was not too high. However, since they were recorded in such a magic book, one could imagine how evil the process of casting the spells and the materials needed would be.
It was a completely forbidden act, just like the creation of Soul Tools. It was better not to say it out loud.
As they had discussed this topic many times before, very soon, everyone had nothing else to say.
They walked down the stairs, and their footsteps echoed in the empty castle.
The murals on both sides of the walls were empty, and the portraits were nowhere to be seen.
Everyone was very nervous. The silence in the surroundings gave them an illusion that there were only five of them left in the castle, and the stairs that led downwards seemed to have no end.
Ten minutes later, they arrived in front of the painting of a huge fruit bowl in the stone corridor of the basement.
Dobby did not scratch the dark green pear in the painting. This was the way to enter the kitchen.
He only stretched out his finger and knocked on the edge of the painting. The pear began to change, revealing a low, dark, and deep hall.
Other than Elaine, Elwyn, Harry, Hermione, and Ron had all come to the kitchen many times.
Elwyn accompanied Hermione to give a lecture, while Harry and Ron sneaked out in the middle of the night to look for food.
They walked in one by one, and very soon, they were surrounded by a group of noisy house-elves that had rushed out of nowhere, asking them what food they wanted.
Hundreds of house-elves crowded together. No matter how many times they looked at it, it was still shocking.
But immediately, when they saw that the person who came was Hermione, their faces all revealed a look of horror, and they disappeared in an instant, hiding.
"Am I that scary?" Hermione said unhappily. "Why are they running?"
"Miss Granger is not scary at all. Dobby thinks that Miss Granger is the best wizard, second only to Master Elwyn and Harry Potter," Dobby said immediately. "Dobby knows that the other elves are just not used to it yet."
There was a time when Hermione worked hard to sew sweaters and gave them to the house-elves in the kitchen.
This probably scared them. Although she did not do it anymore, it left a terrible impression that could not be changed in a short period of time.
Hermione was probably the only one in the entire Hogwarts who could make so many house-elves run away in fear.
In the eyes of these house-elves, Hermione, who was dedicated to protecting their rights, was probably a demon.
The four of them walked through the corridor and entered the kitchen, which was arranged exactly like the hall above.
