They were tens of thousands of feet underground, so there shouldn't be any wind here. Moreover, the wind was not the kind that he imagined would blow from the depths of the cave. It was warm, like a warm midday breeze.
In a place where there shouldn't be wind, there was a strong wind with high temperature. Could there be a legendary magic item down there?! But wasn't the scale a little too big?
At the edge of the stairs, Pull Ring clapped his hands, and a small cart rushed out from a dark, hidden crack in the rock wall. He gestured for everyone to sit on it.
Everyone climbed up one by one, huddled together, and looked ahead nervously, not knowing what was waiting for them.
Pull Ring Ring snapped his fingers, and the cart started moving again. This time, the cart was not as fast as before.
When it slowly turned the corner and rushed out of the cave, Elwyn felt an even stronger warm wind blowing from below.
He hurriedly looked out, and in the endless darkness, he noticed that he was floating in mid-air.
In front of them, all the rocks had disappeared, and a huge, bottomless pit suddenly appeared in front of them. Gusts of strong wind whistled up from below.
The pit was so deep that they couldn't see the bottom, and it went straight down, as if it went all the way to the inside of the earth.
Everyone held on tightly to the edge of the cart, and carefully looked out.
If they accidentally fell from here, they would definitely be smashed to pieces, and not even a corpse would be found.
Below the cart, a narrow track extended forward at a strange angle.
The old wooden brackets propped up from the rough rock walls around them were their only support. The rusty track was complicated, stretching out from the cracks in the rock wall, and they couldn't see the end. Sometimes they intersected with each other, and then quickly separated.
Elwyn looked back, and saw that the place they had just come out from had become a small crack in the blink of an eye, no different from the cracks everywhere on the rock wall.
He tried to remember the route, but found that it was impossible.
The route of the track was too complicated, and the cracks on the rock walls all looked exactly the same.
Even if someone could break into this place and find the treasure, if they didn't remember the way, it would be impossible for them to leave this place.
Elwyn was certain that if he accidentally entered the wrong crevice, what awaited him would not be as simple as taking a wrong path.
The track snaked downwards, and as everyone approached the deepest part of the underground, the wind blowing from below became hotter and hotter, and soon turned into rolling heatwaves.
The whistling grew louder and louder, as if countless fire dragons were breathing fire from below.
Elwyn poked his head out again. He saw a round, glowing red object right below them. It looked like a door to the depths of hell.
He blinked, and it took him a few seconds to realize what it was.
It was magma from the depths of the earth's crust!
Below them, there was an endless pool of underground magma, bubbling and emitting white steam. The magma below illuminated the surroundings with a red light.
The temperature of the magma was so high that even the surrounding rocks were roasted red.
A few seconds later, the small cart gradually came to a stop on an irregular island in the middle of the magma.
Everyone walked down, their bodies were drenched in sweat, and their faces were glowing red. They never imagined that they would experience such a temperature in the cold winter.
In fact, no one ever imagined that the deepest part of Gringotts would be like this. This place formed a strong contrast with the bustling Diagon Alley.
Sirius was right, these pixies were too crazy. They actually dug all the way down to the depths of the earth's crust. If something happened here and caused the magma to erupt, not only Diagon Alley, but the whole of London would be engulfed in flames.
On the small island, there were dozens of stone carvings of various shapes. They seemed to be the entrance to a treasury.
Elwyn felt strange, because the shapes of these carvings were extremely familiar. He must have seen them somewhere before.
He carefully observed for a while, and a thought flashed in his mind. These carvings were actually the family insignia of various ancient pureblood Magus families. Many of them were illustrious Magus families in the history of magic a thousand years ago. However, most of them had already gone extinct, and were merely history recorded in books.
"This is the earliest treasury built when Gringotts was established. There are 100 of them, and they all belonged to the most powerful Magus or the most prosperous pureblood Magus families." Pull Ring explained, "Because they are too ancient, many Magus families have already disappeared in the long river of history. I haven't been here for many years."
This small island with the carvings of insignia looked like the cemetery of a pureblood Magus family.
These carvings of extraordinary significance, not only did they prove the past glory of these pureblood Magus families, they also silently narrated the endless loneliness. No matter how powerful or illustrious they were in the past, they no longer existed. The treasures preserved in Gringotts would forever remain here.
Not considering anything else, just from the insignia of these ancient Magus families, this place was definitely a holy land in the eyes of magic historians and heraldic enthusiasts.
Elwyn carefully observed, comparing it with the insignia of the Magus families in his mind.
After observing for a while, he discovered that it was exactly as Pull Ring said. On top of these carvings, there were large numbers, all within 100. Below the carvings were large doors of different shapes, which should be where the treasury of these pureblood Magus families were located.
Not far away on the magma, there were a few other irregular shaped islands.
Similar to this place, some of the islands also had different numbers of different sizes of carvings. Among them, Elwyn immediately spotted the emblem of the Slytherin family, because it was too conspicuous. Embedded with many emeralds was an enormous sculpture that emitted a gentle green glow, forming a capital letter'S '.
It was situated alone on a small island in the center of the magma, and was abnormally conspicuous.
Elwyn saw that the number above the letter'S 'was 1, which meant that this was the first treasury of Gringotts.
Below the carvings was a large black door with intricate patterns. It was unknown what kind of metal it was made of, but it looked extremely complicated.
Because it was too far away, Elwyn couldn't see it clearly.
The patterns on the door seemed to be the same as the patterns on the Slytherin locket in his bosom. They seemed to be a single entity.
Elwyn shook his head, not knowing what this meant. Could it be that this was a special text left behind by the Slytherin family?!
He was prepared to go back and carefully research the relevant books. If it didn't work out, he could still ask the vampire girl called Elaine.
Beside the Slytherin treasury, Elwyn also saw the sky blue coat of arms of the Ravenclaw family. It was similar to the Ravenclaw Academy's emblem, but there were some differences. It wasn't a giant eagle soaring in the sky, but rather a sculpture of an eagle holding an unknown plant in its mouth. On the eagle's head was a Coronet that symbolized wisdom.
At the center of the Coronet, a resplendent diamond shone brightly. Resonating with it, was a thick nebula at the top of the sculpture.
Nobody knew how many gems were used on this seemingly ordinary stone sculpture.
Just the enormous diamond at the center of the Coronet was definitely priceless. One could imagine how precious the family's treasures hidden within would be.
Unfortunately, the Ravenclaw family didn't have any descendants. No matter what was inside, those items would forever belong to the pixies.
Elwyn's interest was piqued, and he carefully searched again.
