It wasn't until this time that she realized that it wasn't a white fruit at all, but translucent chrysalis one after another, which were hung on the branches.Through the white shimmer, the black shadow inside the pupa looms.

They formed some fuzzy shadows in the shape of children, thinking about it carefully...

Hermione realized right away that they were all house-elves.Each white chrysalis represents a house-elf.

I don't know how many chrysalis are densely packed here, this picture is really too scary.

Dobby was completely terrified. He covered his eyes tightly with his ears, not daring to look, and kept muttering, "They're talking to Dobby, and Dobby wants to get out of here..."

Now, only Harry and Hermione were holding him up to keep him from collapsing.

The home of the house elves refers to this tree!Hermione had never imagined that a house-elf home would look like this.

Just from the name, I thought it would be a very warm place!

But in fact, it is not at all. Who on earth, for what purpose, used unimaginable alchemy to build this giant tree here, trapping countless house elves in it?

All this is a mystery!

Below the giant tree is a cross-shaped building, the whole body is built with blue rocks, and the building is carved with complex patterns, which is an exotic style that has never been seen before.

"I just went in and took a quick look. They are all some alchemy supplies. But I have never seen such an alchemy laboratory." Sirius said, I don't know if it is an illusion, his voice is not loud, it seems that he is afraid of disturbing something .

With awe and vigilance, a group of people entered the building, and there were many strange stone statues, gemstones and other materials scattered inside, as well as a lot of equipment, as well as house elves carved out of stones...

Their appearance is not very similar to the current house elves, it can only be said to be similar in spirit, and there are many differences in specific details.

There are bottles and cans on the shelf beside them. The liquid inside has evaporated, leaving only empty bottles. There are also some books on the other shelf, all written in ancient magic script.

"Unbelievable, just look at the titles of these books, "The Magical Composition of Ultra-Ancient Alchemy", "The Giving and Deprivation of Life", "The Devouring Abyss: Horror Nightmare and Dreams"..." Hermione reached out to take a book, but As soon as her finger touched it, the book decayed and dissipated instantly.

"It's been too long, and many things here are fragile, only stones and gems remain." Sirius reminded, "Don't touch those things again, it may be dangerous."

"This is indeed an ancient alchemy laboratory. It may be that the ancient warlocks created the above tree and the house elves." Hermione analyzed, while carefully observing the surrounding objects, "But from these, we can see I can’t see exactly what’s going on.”

"I just want to know, if the house-elf of Hufflepuff is really back here, where is he now?" Harry asked, staring at a stone elf lying on the ground House-elves are much stronger and look more like miniature giants.

"Could it be..." Hermione didn't say it, she pointed up with her finger.

Harry didn't know what kind of expression or what to say, if the house-elf was really carrying Hufflepuff's treasure, wrapped in some chrysalis up there... then he wouldn't think it was weird , but it must be admitted that the thought made him uncomfortable, and that they might never find him!

"Any other clues?"

"There is another door over there. I didn't go in just now." Sirius said, "If there is any secret, it may be inside. To open the door, you need Dobby's help."

"Dobby is at your service, sir."

Dobby's voice trembled uncontrollably. Ever since he realized that the white chrysalis hanging from the giant tree might be house elves, he has been covering his eyes with his long ears.

Everything here frightened him, especially the constant noise.

Everyone didn't know what to do, they had too many questions about the place.The more you see, the more questions you have.

Under the leadership of Sirius, everyone went deep into the building, and soon came to a huge corridor with hollowed-out walls. Through the corridor, they could see that they were located directly under the giant tree.

Thick tree roots that require several people to embrace are distributed around, burrowing deep into the soil.In front of the building, in the center surrounded by tree roots is a lake.As soon as I got close, powerful magic power came oncoming, and the lake itself was powered by magic power.

"This might be the Fountain of Fortune!" Hermione said with interest, feeling the magic.

"Maybe, I've never seen a spring full of magic power. It's like a lake of potion." Sirius said, "As for whether it can really bring good luck, I don't know."

The lake water is very clear, standing on the edge can see the bubbles constantly rising from below, which proves that this is indeed a spring, not someone pouring potion into it.It is these springs that provide nutrients to the giant trees above.

Chapter 1745 The God of Nightmare

Above the cloister, the building protrudes toward the lake. There is the second floor of the building, located between the lake and the giant trees.

On the right side of the corridor, there is a staircase leading to the second floor. From below, you can see that at the end of the staircase is a stone door, which blocks the room on the second floor.There is a line written in crooked characters on it: Only free elves are allowed to enter the home.These words are all written in English, shining silver light on the stone gate.

"That's the door!" Sirius said, pointing his wand at the stone door above the stairs. "I tried several spells but couldn't open it. The magic of the house-elf is left on it."

"What does this sentence mean?" Harry asked full of doubts. He turned his head to look at the lake outside the corridor from time to time, and the magic power from there felt too obvious.

"Maybe literally." Hermione frowned. "Remember what the house-elf demon said? The ancient house-elves were very disgusted with the fact that they lost to wizards and became subordinate races. If their home is behind the door, Then they only allow free house-elves in. That is, only house-elves who don't have masters are allowed."

"Elf without a master..."

"Hermione is exactly what I think, and Dobby just meets the requirements. As far as I know, he may be the only free house-elf in the wizarding world. If there are house-elves verifying the door Magic, when there are so many ratios in the past, the above magic will definitely work." Sirius said.

"Dobby is willing to oblige, sir, but Dobby doesn't know what to do."

"You stand in front of the door and try it out." Sirius continued, "Or just like when you were outside just now, touch that stone door with your finger, and it might open."

"Dobby doesn't feel that way!" Dobby shook his head and said, "Only the house-elves above were talking to Dobby, and Dobby could hear them clearly, and they were expressing kindness. Very comfortable strength." Although he still pressed Hermione tightly, his ears were not as tight as before, and he began to look around cautiously.

"Goodwill? That's good news."

"Have you noticed?" Hermione found something, she pointed to the stone door above and said, "The words on the door are in English, not ancient runes, which means that these words were left by the later house elves. Later, another house-elf came here and sealed the stone gate, and that elf may have lived with wizards for a while, so he used English."

"It is indeed possible."

"Could it be Dodo, Hufflepuff's house-elf, who left this line?"

"Once you open the stone gate, everything will become clear. There is no point in continuing to speculate." Sirius said impatiently, "Dobby, you go over there and try it. You are a free house-elf. The magic of verification, you will definitely work in the past tense."

Under the watchful eyes of the three, Dobby trembled and slowly climbed the steps to the stone door.

No response!

He touched the stone door with his hand, but there was still no response.Dobby turned his head to look at the three of them uncertainly, his big eyes filled with bewilderment and panic.

"Only free house elves can pass, you have to prove that you are a free elf, Dobby, you can try to shout 'I am a free elf', maybe it will work." Hermione suggested road.

"Okay, Miss Granger, Dobby is a free house-elf." Dobby took a deep breath and said loudly, "Dobby is a free elf."

As soon as his voice fell, Shimen trembled and fell backwards, making a violent noise.

Amidst Dobby's screams, Harry, Hermione, and Sirius rushed up the stairs.

Behind the stone door is a small room, the most striking thing is a vertical pipe in the middle, one end of which is connected to the platform in the center of the room, and the other end leads straight up to the inside of the giant tree.On the raised platform in front of the table, there is a thick magic book.

"Is this the home of the house-elves?"

"What's with that pipe?"

"There may be some information revealed in this book!" Hermione said, stepping forward to carefully identify the words on the book, "It's an ancient rune, and the title of the book is "The Tree of Death: Eternal Dreams."

She tried to turn the pages of the book, but this time, the book didn't decay and dissipate.

"This is a book on alchemy!" Hermione flipped through a few pages, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, Harry, Sirius, and Dobby approach the tubes of the platform.

"This pipe seems to be used to send something up or down." Sirius said uncertainly, he leaned out and looked inside, "The inside is empty, and there are many spell runes drawn... "

"Could that tree up there be home to house-elves," said Harry, tugging nervously at Sirius' robes for fear that something might happen to him. The elves were sent up through here?"

"There is such a possibility!"

"This place is really strange, who the hell is going to hang a house-elf on a tree, what's the point of doing that?!"

"I seem to understand what's going on." Hermione said suddenly, still flipping through the spellbook in front of her, "The giant tree above is indeed the home of house-elves. Alchemy items, which Hufflepuff once modified."

"What are you talking about, Hermione, is there anything in the book?"

"This book systematically introduces this alchemy, that is, this giant tree and the lake below are all constructed using ancient alchemy." Hermione said excitedly, "The lake is the source of magic power. The purpose of this tree is to create a new world!"

"Create a new world?"

"Yes, an eternal dream world... not just these!" Hermione said, her tone was also full of unprecedented surprise, "This is a magic beyond imagination, and it also involves the method of becoming an evil god."

"Cthulhu?!" Harry and Sirius looked at her in shock.They couldn't believe how they got involved with the evil god.

"It's not the God of Devourer and God of Death that I've seen before. This is a new evil god. To be precise, it should be the God of Nightmare." Hermione turned the book to a certain page, pointed to the words on it and said, "You Look here, an ancient warlock created this giant tree, this is a different space connected to dreams, he has eternal life in it, he can gain power by devouring other people's dreams and creating nightmares. He is the master of dreams !"

This is incredible!

Chapter 1746 The Eternal Dreamland

Harry looked at the text on the book, and the twisted small characters came into view. He couldn't understand what these ancient runes were writing, but these words kept jumping in his mind.

In the dark, he seemed to hear a deep voice, echoing in his mind.

Embrace the essence of shadow with open arms.

Boy, this is my territory.

Let the tide carry you into an eternal dream where there is nothing but darkness and madness.

Here you come, come closer to me, come closer.Yes, you are the one I am looking for.

Surrender to me, accept the gift of God, I will give you endless life and unparalleled power, all you have to do is sleep forever.

There is no doubt about resistance and struggle. Every choice you make makes you more like my servant.

Under God's watchful eye, every plant and tree will rot.

withered!

Kneel down! !

yield! ! !

Darkness will eventually cover everything, only deep sleep is eternal, and dreams will eventually merge into one.

……

Whispers rang in his ears, and Harry felt himself falling in the dark.

This eternal darkness seems to never end.Here, there is nothing else to do but sleep.

Just when Harry was thinking this way, his eyes were in a trance, and he realized that what he saw just now was an illusion. He was still standing in that strange little room, next to Hermione who was reciting the contents of the book, and There is a serious Sirius and a trembling Dobby.

The whisper followed, and Harry didn't know where it came from, but he couldn't make out what the voice was saying, and the content of the whisper just now was rapidly fading from his mind.

In a daze, Harry even thought it was Hermione's voice.It must be so, she is the only one still talking in this room.

So, with all his strength, he shouted, "Enough, Hermione, don't read any more, these words are very uncomfortable."

Harry gasped, pressing hard on the scar on his forehead.I don't know when it started, but his scar was burning with pain.Seeing nothing, Harry could feel that Voldemort was changing, becoming the same evil being as his master whose whispers he had heard.

That is the evil god!

Voldemort is transforming into evil god!

His strength has increased, and he has started that evil magic.

There is no time to delay any longer, the evil breath is coming from all directions, blending with the darkness here, they must take immediate action to stop Voldemort.Harry let out a cry of pain as he thought about it.

"I haven't read anything!" said Hermione, looking at him worriedly.

"Harry, what did you hear?" Sirius also looked at him with concern.

"Some voices," said Harry with difficulty.In just a few seconds, he couldn't remember the whispers he had just heard.

They seemed to have disappeared from his mind out of thin air, like the receding tide.

Harry couldn't even be sure what the voice said. He forgot everything, but remembered a cold feeling that went deep into his bones. Thinking about it, it looked like Voldemort.

"What sound did you hear, is it related to Voldemort?" Sirius asked.

"The voice of the evil god, I'm not sure if it's the God of Nightmare's or Voldemort's... That voice has darkness and evil in it." The more Harry thought about it, the more his head hurt.

"I'm sure it's not the God of Nightmare. That guy was wiped out thousands of years ago. Hufflepuff left a record in the second half of this book. She wiped out that evil god and transformed its dream space. A home for house-elves," said Hermione firmly.

She flicked through the book, turning it to the last part.

"Look at this description, this tree is the home of the house elves, and inside it is the eternal dream, but there is no nightmare god and darkness in the dream, and it can no longer be connected with other people's dreams, the elves are inside create their own world."

The so-called home of the house-elves is actually a dreamland.In that dream, only house-elves were present.

They can live according to their own wishes without worrying about being enslaved by wizards.

It sounds amazing, but in fact, this giant tree created by alchemy is another exploration of the mysteries of death and life by ancient warlocks, a brand new way to become an evil god.

Everyone can understand this dream as a different space, just like the space created by the despicable Hai Erbo.The God of Nightmares is the absolute master in it. It can transform into everything it wants, possesses endless power, and even connects with the dreams of wizards and mortals to achieve the purpose of influencing and controlling the real world.

This dream space is not exactly the same as the real space, it is fabricated through magic.To understand it more generally, it is like a virtual network for Muggles.If the technology of Muggles continues to develop, they can enter the virtual network through holographic projection, and even abandon their bodies to survive in the virtual world, it will be similar to this dream.

The eternal dream is a different realm from the God of Devourer and the God of Death. Its characteristic is to sleep, create nightmares, and feed on the negative emotions that people have in nightmares. However, as early as thousands of years ago, the God of Nightmare was called wiped out.

His domain was transformed by Hufflepuff with alchemy into the home of the house elves, and all house elves can enter it through magic and live there forever.
