Elwyn poured out the magic potion in the glass bottle. This magic potion could improve one's spirit and was very helpful for staying up late to read.
He had originally planned to give some to Hermione, so he brewed a lot of it.
This was the largest bottle that Elwyn carried with him. He pointed the mouth of the bottle at Aragok.
"Although we have a common enemy, to be honest, I don't trust you, and you must feel the same," Elwyn said directly. "To avoid mutual suspicion, I have a suggestion. If you no longer have that evil power in you, then my magic should work. I will use the Shrinking Spell to shrink you into this bottle. After killing the monster, I will let you out. "
In the darkness, Aragok was obviously hesitating and did not speak.
"This is very fair, isn't it?" Elwyn waved his wand and asked again.
"It is indeed very fair, friend of Hagrid." Click, click. Aragok said slowly, his voice full of doubt. "I can agree to your request, but after killing it, how can you guarantee that you will let me go?"
"You have no other choice. You can only choose to cooperate or be killed by me now." Elwyn snorted coldly and said bluntly, "I repeat, I don't care about Malfoy's life or death. We can wait for rescue and choose a safer way to go down there."
They were in a deadlock. Elwyn's last sentence obviously touched Aragok's heart.
He was right. Aragok and the other eight-eyed spiders had no other choice. They had little room to bargain with Elwyn. They had almost no capital.
After a few serious losses, they were greatly weakened.
If they did not do as Elwyn said, they might die immediately. And if they did not kill the monster below, perhaps the entire eight-eyed spider tribe would be extinct.
"You win." Aragok slowly crawled to Elwyn's side. "Do as you say. I hope that after everything is over, you will keep your promise."
Looking at the old spider lying beside him with gray fur all over its body, Elwyn gently waved his wand and shouted, "Shrink quickly!"
A red light flashed, and a few seconds later, Aragok's body shrank rapidly.
Soon, it turned from the size of a small elephant to the size of an ordinary spider, about the size of Elwyn's palm.
"For the sake of Hagrid …" Elwyn heard Aragok's faint voice.
"Don't worry, my credibility has always been good. At least, it's much better than yours."
Alagok shuddered and crawled along the web into the bottle.
Elwyn sealed the mouth of the bottle and cast a reinforcement spell on it. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about any accidents. He stuffed the bottle back into his bag and turned to look at the eight-eyed spider floating in the air. He took a deep breath and prepared himself.
"Come, take me down there. I can't wait to see the true face of that guy down there. I hope he won't disappoint me."
He opened his arms, and like a prey being caught, the Eight-eyed Giant Spider used its two thick legs to clamp down on him from behind.
Then, they followed the cracks at the edge of the spider's web and slowly went down …
This feeling was really strange. The fur on the spider's body made Elwyn very uncomfortable. When he thought about being hugged by an ugly spider, he felt even more disgusted.
His back was almost defenseless. If it wanted to, the eight-eyed spider behind him could completely open its pincers and bite him to death.
Or even simpler, it could just throw him down and smash him to pieces.
Fortunately, what Elwyn was worried about did not happen. In the gusts of cold wind, they swayed and descended into the depths of the ground, as if they were going to another world.
Every time they swayed, Elwyn had to be on tenterhooks and nervous for a long time.
It was not that he was a coward, but this way of moving was too frightening. The bottomless pit in the darkness was like the mouth of a ferocious beast, mercilessly devouring them.
Elwyn tried hard not to think about the eight-eyed spider behind him, or what he would do if he fell from here. He forced himself to observe his surroundings.
He originally thought that the depths of the underground would be the same as what he saw above, all pitch-black darkness, but the actual situation was not like that.
Even without the faint light at the end of the wand, there were underground plants growing on the rock walls that emitted fluorescent light.
Some of them emitted a long green light, some emitted a dim yellow and white light.
Elwyn focused his attention and observed carefully. He saw that most of these glowing plants were precious fungi that he had never seen before.
Among them, there was a mushroom that was only recorded in the most ancient version of the Thousand Magical Herbs and Substances. It was now confirmed to be extinct, and it was one of the main ingredients used to brew the Magic Enhancing Potion.
If it was not for the fact that he had more important things to do, he really wanted the spider behind him to stop here and collect all these precious plants.
As they continued to descend, silver floating objects began to appear around Elwyn.
They slowly floated in the air, like the stars in the night sky, looking very beautiful.
These floating objects seemed to be some kind of plant spores, floating out from the cracks in the surrounding rocks, gathered together, and floated throughout the pit.
As he continued to go deeper, there were more and more floating objects, and Elwyn felt as if he was in a silver ocean.
The scenery in front of him was like a dream, beautiful to the extreme.
Elwyn could not help but think that he must find a chance to bring Hermione here to have a look. She would definitely fall in love with this fairytale-like world.
These tiny silver-white floating objects all seemed to have magic, and because they were too dense, Elwyn accidentally inhaled some of them.
The next second, he was surprised to find that the magic he had just consumed in the battle was rapidly recovering.
This is really strange, what is this thing?
He stopped admiring the surrounding scenery and hurriedly took out a small bottle, filled it with some floating objects in mid-air, and prepared to return to the Hogwarts for research.
He had a hunch that with the help of these unknown spores, he might be able to research a new magic potion.
This magic potion could help wizards recover magic quickly, and if it was really successful, it would be a feat that would change the history of magic. He would become the youngest Potion Master in history, and the Ministry of Magic would also award him a Knight Merlin Medal as a reward.
Of course, he was just thinking about it now.
Just as Elwyn was distracted, they seemed to have fallen to the bottom of the pit, and the outline of a huge statue appeared in front of him.
As Aragok had said before, the statue was scarred and full of traces of damage from the eight-eyed spider, and it was carved with a snake symbol and the family emblem of the Slytherin family.
