Elwyn's entire body was ice-cold, and all the blood in his body seemed to have turned into ice water. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net

His heart was pounding violently. The Banshee of Death was a harbinger of death. It had suddenly appeared under his window.
Annoyed, he took out his wand. Before he could cast a spell, the Banshee of Death downstairs screamed and fled towards the woods at an alarming speed.
Soon, it disappeared into the thick fog.
Only that pair of red, swollen, and frightening eyes remained in Elwyn's mind for a long time.
Affected by the Evil God that suddenly appeared in his dream and the Banshee that wept under the window in the morning, Elwyn was in a bad mood and could not bring himself to be interested.
Even when they were about to set off, he still hadn't completely recovered.
After breakfast, Sirius took Elwyn to the depths of the forest.
This was the edge of the centaur ruins that they had scouted out. Under the influence of the ancient magic, no one could use Phantom Movement, they could only walk in.
Along the way, Elwyn looked at the unfamiliar scenery in the forest cautiously.
Sirius could not help but advise him to relax. There was no need to be so nervous.
"Look at the tiny yellow flowers on the low bushes!" He pointed at a strangely shaped plant, trying to divert Elwyn's attention away from those messy things. "You haven't seen it before, right? This plant is a specialty here. It only grows in countries near the Mediterranean Sea. Its scientific name is …"
"Carmine Oak!" Elwyn looked up and continued, "I used this plant when I was making the Advanced Deciphering Potion. The market price per kilogram is three gold coins, and the processed version is five gold coins. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net
】”
The carmine oak looked like a shrub or a small tree.
It is the national flower of Albania, with its grayish white bark and sharp thorns.
The rhizome of this flower was an essential ingredient for making high-level potions. It contained a strong acidity and was very difficult to handle. It could only be used in the Potions class of the fifth grade and above.
"Looks like you've really prepared well for the Potioneering lesson. With a student like you, the snotty spirit will be very happy!" Sirius said awkwardly.
"He usually ignores me and Hermione now!" Elwyn said, "As long as we don't disturb him or bully the other Gryffindor, he'll pretend we don't exist."
"Since I'm no longer a professor, I don't have to follow Hogwarts's rules." Sirius said angrily, "If the snotty spirit dares to bully you again, I'll find a chance to teach him a lesson sooner or later."
As for whether Sirius had ever followed the school rules, Elwyn was skeptical.
Moreover, in terms of overall strength, he was far from being a match for Snape.
Thirteen years in the Azkaban prison had affected him greatly. Even now, his complexion had not completely recovered from the initial decline.
After talking about Snape, there was a moment of silence between the two.
"I know what you're thinking about!" Sirius took a deep breath, "Actually, many people have seen the Banshee of Death. Apart from their unpleasant voice, they didn't do anything to harm others. As for the omens of death, I've already seen too many of them. Don't tell me you really believe in those tricks?! "
"Of course, I don't care about the Banshee of Death!" Elwyn replied absent-mindedly, "I'm just thinking about something else."
Many omens and traces indicated that their trip would not be smooth.
The disconnected Dumbledore, the hidden Lord Voldemort, the slowly recovering Evil God, and the sudden appearance of the vampire and the Banshee of Death.
Facing these, Elwyn had already prepared for the worst.
But unexpectedly, even after they entered the centaur ruins, nothing happened.
The journey through the forest was extremely smooth. After climbing over a hill, the ruins left behind by the fallen centaurs 800 years ago appeared in front of them.
Different from the centaur tribe in Hogwarts's forbidden forest, this ancient ruins was situated between two towering peaks. Clusters of stone buildings were arranged neatly.
The narrow entrance of the ruins was a winding alley paved with grass green cobblestones.
The alley followed the rugged and precipitous terrain all the way up, relying on the terrain to form a natural defense.
Every few steps up, they would see a sturdy fortress or the remains of a checkpoint.
One could imagine, as long as the fallen centaurs hid behind these fortifications and used bows and arrows to attack the intruders, even the ferocious giants would find it hard to charge through.
Above them was a huge circular platform, the terrain was not as steep.
The living environment here was much better than below, the number of houses were lesser, and there were many temples and obsidian statues used for decoration.
These statues were all kinds of centaurs, all of them had different appearances.
Without a doubt, they were the ancestors of the centaurs. Looks like even though they worshiped the evil gods, the fallen centaurs still maintained their reverence for their ancestors.
At the highest point of the ruins, there was a majestic and huge temple.
This was also the only structure in the entire centaur ruins that remained intact. It was constructed from the hardest obsidian stone, and was covered with exaggerated carvings. It looked exactly the same as the moon temple in Hogwarts's forbidden forest, just that the scale was much larger.
Elwyn's gaze moved upwards from the entrance of the ruins, finally locking onto the balconies on both sides of the temple.
Everything in front of him corresponded to the dream he had last night.
However, the centaur ruins in front of him was not the exquisite and beautiful city that flashed with golden light. Time mercilessly destroyed everything.
The magicians and adventurers that arrived recently, in order to search for valuable items, destroyed the remnants of the ruins, leaving behind a complete mess.
The river beside the cobblestone alleyway had long dried up, and in its place was a river overgrown with weeds.
The stone houses built by the centaurs with beautiful red roofs no longer existed, the exquisite bricks were scattered all over the ground, silently telling of the past glory.
In order to obtain the gold and gems embedded in the statues, the intruders destroyed all the centaur statues they could find, not caring about their artistic value at all.
As for the central temple, it was the place where the adventurers gathered the most. Although there were no changes on the outside, when Elwyn and Sirius entered the ruins, they could faintly hear loud rumbling sounds coming from within the temple.
Needless to say, most of the intruders did not know about the mechanisms that the centaurs designed based on the changes in the stars.
But they had another way to enter the core region, and that was destruction.
No matter what mechanism it was, as long as they used a powerful incantation to destroy all the doors, they would enter the deepest part of the temple sooner or later.
Although this method was simple and crude, it was extremely useful.
The fallen centaurs that suddenly disappeared did not seem to have left behind any curses or defensive measures to protect their sacred temple.
Don't talk about magicians, even Muggle could easily barge in.
