Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

The main difficulty in summoning demons is to successfully build a demon altar and then create a pure magical creature.

The construction of the demon altar was very difficult and required a lot of materials and evil, bloody sacrifices.

Evan could neither collect nor use most of these things.

Needless to say, the process of building the demon altar and the first summoning of the demon was very dangerous and prone to have accidents.

If not careful while using this kind of deep Dark magic, he could lose his life.

With Evan’s current superficial knowledge, there was no hope of success at all.

With all kinds of unfavorable factors superposed, he would naturally not try the summoning method recorded in Secrets of the Darkest Art.

But if there was a successfully activated demon altar, most of the problems could be solved, and there would not be so many concerns.

As long as the conditions were met, the demon created by the altar could be summoned.

All that needed to be done was to satisfy the requirements of this altar and use magic to enslave the summoned demon.

With Evan’s current strength, there was a great chance of success.

Evil and taboo aside, demon magic was very powerful, far more than the general sense of dark magic.

Controlling a powerful demon could help wizards overcome most of their opponents.

From the magical traces around it, this demon altar could summon a high-ranking demon with ice attack ability.

With such a powerful assistant, Evan would not have had so much trouble in the last battle against the Manticore. He wouldn’t have had to wait that long and find Caresius’s help to get into the ruins.

A demon could help Evan do many things that he could not do before. He had a lot of people behind him, but a few of them could really help him.

In fact, after seeing this demon altar, he was somewhat moved.

However, what needed to be done now was not to call out demons. There were still many things to be understood.

“Dobby, let’s go in and have a look!” said Evan.

He walked down the steps and pointed his wand on the ice wall in front of him.

At the end of his wand, white mist kept coming out, and soon, the thick ice wall melted out making an entrance.

Evan led Dobby in. Though feeling shocked, he had a clearer visual understanding of the whole picture of the entire demon altar.

The altar was made up of huge stones, forming a concentric circular shape, which was more magnificent than it looked from the outside.

The stones were roughly rectangular, standing upright above the ground, more than ten feet high.

On top of the adjacent stones, there was another stone lying on the top, or across two or four, arranged in a strange pattern.

Several important locations seemed to be related to planetary changes, not shapes that had no meaning.

The top of the stone wall was irregularly filled with grotesque holes, inlaid with gems, emitting a faint glow.

The most striking thing was the center of the concentric circle, which was made up of a whole piece of cyan boulder.

The boulder was painted with dark golden magic symbols and complex lines, and the whole body shone with light blue light from time to time.

Every time the light blue light flashed, a lot of cold air, with extremely low temperature, was released to meet the surrounding air, arousing a lot of white mist.

Even with the protection of magic, Evan felt a chill approaching him.

He pulled Dobby carefully behind the boulders to avoid the ice fog. After the fog disappeared, he continued to move forward, bypassing the boulders to the core of the altar, and saw the giant demon statue he had seen from the outer steps.

Before there was an ice wall, and he could only see it vaguely. Now when he went inside, he noticed that it was like a house-elf. More accurately, it was a demon with a variant form based on a house-elf.

This house-elf had blue skin; and on his face, there was not the humble, flattering smile that Evan was familiar with.

On the contrary, with some indescribable cruelty, there was a slight sneer at the corners of his mouth. His hands were slightly raised upward, making a strange gesture.

Evan carefully observed the statue, and no accident, the demon that the altar could summon was this fellow.

What he didn’t expect was that this demon would actually be a house elf!

He had to admit that the Dark wizard who built this place had a really unique taste and hobbies.

Evan did not enter the center of the concentric circle that flashed blue light from time to time. He used the outer boulders as a cover and turned around the entire altar.

There were signs of a connection between this demon altar and Hogwarts’ house-elves.

Every now and then it appeared here for no reason, and there was definitely a hidden secret behind it.

On the stone platform in front of the statue, which was used to place the sacrifices, were carved dense ancient magic inscriptions.

Not surprisingly, it should record the origin of the demon and the tribute to summon it.

These ancient magical texts were not too unpopular, but it would still take time to crack them all.

He recorded all these words and magic symbols on the ground, searched the altar carefully, and then left the place with Dobby, ready to study them all and take the next step.

Dobby finally breathed a sigh of relief and watched with trepidation as the cabinet filled with the heads of blue house-elves returned to its original place, completely blocking the entrance to the passage.

He finally came out from the terrible place below, and he vowed never to go there again.

Evan warned Dobby not to tell anyone about today. An activated demon altar, if known about, would soon get the place filled with Aurors sent by the Ministry of Magic to investigate.

Before leaving the underground icehouse, Evan also looked at the room that had been closed by heavy iron gates. Inside was the ancient Hogwarts water intake system, which was still in use today.

In the room, he could see canals paved with bluestone and many modern pipeline networks.

Under the influence of magic, water flowed from the ground and was supplied to the whole castle through here.

As soon as Evan and Dobby entered, they could hear the sound of water flowing.

Under the light of the wand, he found that the canal was very wide and the top was connected with the main pipe of the castle.

The inlet end extended all the way to the ground, and there was no end to the darkness.

Unexpectedly, through the water surface, a stone ladder could be seen in the place where the channel extended downward.

This showed that when the canal had first been designed, people could enter it. But Evan didn’t know what was hidden underneath.

Evan didn’t know the designer’s principles, nor was he interested in drilling into dark underground pipes.

After checking it again and finding no clues, he left with Dobby.
