"Young Master Elwyn, let's go back. Dobby is scared!" Dobby said in a trembling voice, feeling fear.
Unlike before, this fear did not come from the darkness and ice, but from the strange circular structure in front of him.
Even with a thick layer of ice wall between them, Dobby did not feel at ease.
He pulled on the corner of Elwyn's clothes tightly, his bulb-sized eyes staring anxiously at the altar behind the azure ice wall.
Seeing the green light flashing on the altar, Dobby cowered and hid behind Elwyn.
He did not know that it was an altar used to summon demons, but he felt fear from it, an instinctive pressure.
It told him that this thing was dangerous and that it was best to stay away from it.
If not for Elwyn being around, Dobby would have run away in fright!
Unlike Dobby, who was only left with fear, Elwyn became excited after a short moment of shock.
"Don't worry, Dobby!" He said softly, taking a few steps closer to the ice wall. "That thing inside can't come out, so we're safe. A Demonic Altar that has been successfully activated, this is a rare opportunity to study it!"
Elwyn looked at the Demonic Altar behind the ice wall with interest, as well as the light and magic runes that flashed on it from time to time.
All the signs indicated that this was an Demonic Altar that was in an active state.
To be honest, he had not expected to find something like this in Hogwarts. It was too rare.
Even if he did not find any clues about the key to Hufflepuff's treasure, just this Demonic Altar alone was a great reward.
If other lesser Magi were here, they might immediately turn around and flee in panic, reporting this matter to their school's professors.
However, Elwyn did not plan to do so, at least not before he fully understood the principles behind this altar.
He had been worried that it would be a powerful offensive black magic, but he was completely at ease after seeing the Demonic Altar.
From the perspective of evil and taboo, the existence of the Demonic Altar completely surpassed most black magic.
However, this thing was not dangerous. As long as the demon within was not summoned, nothing would happen.
On the other hand, as long as the corresponding conditions were met and a sufficient price was paid.
He could use this altar to summon the demon it belonged to again.
With Elwyn's understanding of demonic black magic, he knew that the value of an activated Demonic Altar was no less than a Sorcerer's Stone.
From the perspective of magic research, the value and significance of this altar was unimaginable.
As everyone knows, Demonic Magic was once very popular, it was the most important branch of magic grasped by the ancient Warlocks.
They created and summoned many powerful demons to enslave, turning these magical creatures into their slaves.
Regardless of whether they specialized in it or not, practically every ancient Warlock had their own fiends. Among them, the most famous was King Solomon and his 72 Demonic God Pillars.
Legends about them had been passed down among the Muggles for thousands of years.
In Muggle's eyes, Solomon was the third king of the ancient Kingdom of Israel, and he frequently appeared in the Bible.
But in the eyes of the magic world and the wizards, he was a powerful ancient warlock like the prophet Abraham.
Of course, his status and strength were far weaker than Abraham's.
Solomon's greatest achievement was the construction of the Holy Temple. It was said that he placed the Ark of the Covenant, the covenant between God and the Israelites through Moses. It was a legendary magic item with a very special status and significance. It was even regarded as a symbol of God's presence.
Apart from that, there were 72 pillars in the hall of the Holy Temple, which sealed the 72 demons created by King Solomon.
These 72 demons were also known as the 72 Demonic God Pillars. The giant pillars that sealed them were also the altars that summoned the demons.
King Solomon relied on the Ark of the Covenant and the 72 Demonic God Pillars to rule his territory. No one dared to resist his brutal rule.
After his death, the 72 Demonic God Pillars fell apart and completely disappeared from the world.
Along with it, the country that he ruled also fell apart.
Later generations organized the Key of Solomon according to the 72 pillars in the hall of the Holy Temple. It recorded in detail the method that King Solomon used to summon the 72 demons.
Unfortunately, this book was also lost in the long river of history.
Solomon and the demons that he created and summoned were just an outstanding representative of demonic magic. After his death, the ancient warlocks continued to develop this magic and summoned all kinds of extremely powerful demons. They combined demonic magic with other types of magic in an attempt to create even more powerful creatures, until they summoned the Evil God.
After that, the splendid ancient magic civilization led by the ancient warlocks quickly disappeared, leaving only legends and relics that were passed down to the world.
Although the ancient warlocks had died out, the remnants of demonic magic were passed down and were considered a type of black magic.
Because many important books were lost, there was no powerful magic and magic materials to make altars. The demons that the wizards summoned were far less powerful than the Evil God of the ancient warlocks, and the summoning method was more evil and bloody.
In order to make up for the lack of materials and magic, the dark wizards would choose sacrifices for the demons. The most popular sacrifice was human.
To be precise, it was human wizards!
The dark wizards believed that the stronger the wizard as a sacrifice, the more powerful the demon that was summoned.
Or they could do the opposite and choose a witch below the age of 15.
The purer the girl's body and soul, the more beautiful she was, the more she would attract the attention of a powerful demon.
Depending on the summoning method, the standard of the sacrifice would be different, but it was generally a set of deformed evil theories.
This kind of twisted black magic was revived for a short period of time in the dark middle ages, but it was quickly abandoned by the mainstream of the magic world and all wizards were forbidden from researching it.
The most that Elwyn could find were the various decrees from the Ministry of Magic and the International Sorcerer Alliance that forbade the research of demonic magic. All the magic books related to this had been burned.
Currently, demonic black magic was very unpopular.
Even if an evil dark wizard wanted to use it, it was not impossible to find the relevant information.
The two methods of summoning demons recorded in "Top Black Magic Revealed" could only summon demons of a lower level.
Other than this book, all the other information that Elwyn could find about demonic magic was basic.
It only recorded the basic knowledge. No matter how much research was done, he would only know the surface of it.
Elwyn was very interested in this area of magic, but he had never been able to delve into it.
