v2 Chapter 1813： Ancient Alchemy Laboratory

The test left by the four founders of Hogwarts is more about whether their teaching ideas are inherited. Compared to the other three, Hufflepuff's idea is the hardest to test.

Integrity, justice, loyalty, diligence, tenacity, equal treatment, not afraid of hardships and so on.

These things are hard to concretize.

It's not something that can be seen through an adventure or defeating some terrifying monster.

Hufflepuff Academy has never been picky about the innate qualities of its students. Those students who are not favored by the other three colleges are all accepted by Hufflepuff Academy unconditionally.

Because Hufflepuff believes that even if you are not smart, not brave, have no talent and pure blood, but as long as you make unremitting efforts, you can still become a qualified wizard.

In contrast, integrity, kindness, and diligence are the most valuable qualities. Hufflepuff's students may not be the protagonists, but they are definitely the most trusted companions. How can this great idea be verified?

"At just the right time..." Harry and Sirius said so, and Hermione also felt that this adventure might not find the key to Hufflepuff's secret treasure.

She didn't think Hufflepuff would devise such an adventure. It doesn't make much sense and doesn't match her philosophy.

As for what Hufflepuff's real test was, they didn't know.

After a short silence, Sirius continued, "Since it's here, let's see what the treasure that the house elf took away, but we must be careful, and if we find any danger, we must evacuate as soon as possible."

The home of the house-elves, what is going on in this place, why is there such a sophisticated and complex alchemical creation? Perhaps, the secret of the origin of the ancient house-elves is involved.

The three of them discussed, and after more than 20 minutes, the violent roaring and shaking finally stopped, and they arrived at their destination, which must be located deep underground. When Sirius, Hermione, Harry, and Dobby came out one by one, they all looked at the scene in surprise.

The alchemy creature took them from the soil layer above straight across the entire cave to the ground below. At this time, they were in a huge underground garden.

The size of the cave is about four to five times that of the one above. The visible rock walls are still covered with dark green vines, and there are lush plants and exotic flowers and grasses growing on the ground, many of which can only be found in the cave. It is very rare to see precious potions in ancient books.

The most bizarre place is that there is light here!

A white light shone through the cave, making it look like day.

Hermione quickly found the light source, because it was so eye-catching that it was difficult to ignore them. Those light sources all came from the giant tree in the center of the cave.

It grows recklessly, with countless branches extending upwards, thousands of feet high, occupying almost the entire space. The vines on the rock wall are all roots extending from giant trees. Everyone can think about this picture, in front of this giant tree, Hagrid is a little bit.

There are many white round fruits emitting shimmering light hanging on each branch. They are densely arranged together. It is the light source here, and the illuminated cave is like daytime.

"What the **** is this?"

No one can answer this question because no one knows. Hermione kept recalling the books she had read and compared them one by one, but she couldn't find the answer.

"There was a voice talking to Dobby." Just as Sirius, Harry, and Hermione looked up at the giant tree in front of him, Dobby suddenly said, "It's on that tree."

"Dobby, what did you find, who was talking to you? What?"

"Dobby doesn't know, sir, there are so many voices, they're all talking to Dobby, and Dobby doesn't understand what they're saying." Dobby covered his long ears and his eyes were bigger than ever. "They Seems to be house-elves, but Dobby doesn't know them."

All house elves?

The three looked at each other, all feeling very strange. Apart from this giant tree and plants, there were no house-elves in front of him.

What was the voice Dobby heard? Why can only he hear it?

"Dobby is scared..."

"It'll be all right, Dobby, this is the home of the house-elves, the home of your ancestors. The voices you hear may be the voices of your ancestors, and they won't hurt you." Seeing Dobby's terrified look, Hermione comforted.

"Dobby doesn't know who the ancestors are, Dobby doesn't know them, Dobby has only seen her mother. Many years ago, her head was cut off by the previous owner and stuck to the kitchen wall. That was her mother's greatest wish when she was alive. She begged the previous master to do it, and begged for a long time. Dobby was right next to her... Dobby misses Mommy so much." Dobby said shaky, crying again, and he hugged Hermione's right leg tightly. , At this time, the compound decoction has expired, and they have all changed back to their original appearance.

"You're a free house-elf now, and no one will cut your head off and put it on the wall as a decoration. You live only for yourself, Dobby."

In response to her was a loud cry!

At this time, Sirius suddenly said, "You three stay here, I'll go take a look. This place is very strange, there are many magics that we don't understand. If I encounter danger, don't go to save me, leave here immediately. "

"I'll go with you, Sirius!" said Harry at once.

"I'll just go by myself, Harry, you don't have to risk it here."

"But……"

"There are more important things waiting for you to do." Sirius said decisively, "and there may be no danger. I did this just to be on the safe side. If we all pass, there is no point. You stay here. "

He stared at Harry and hugged him tightly. Then, Sirius walked towards the giant tree without turning his head, and soon, his figure disappeared in the shadow of the giant tree.

Time passed, and Dobby's mood gradually calmed down, and he kept saying that the house-elves were talking to him, and Harry and Hermione discussed a few more words, but nothing came out.

They all kept their eyes on the front, until Sirius reappeared, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief and hurried forward.

"No danger has been found for the time being, and the situation inside is wonderful."

"What did you find, Sirius?" Harry asked hastily.

"Is there a Fountain of Good Luck in front of you?" Hermione asked, she was still obsessed with the story of the Fountain of Good Luck, which corresponds to the garden in the story, so there should be the Fountain of Good Luck in front of her!

"There is a spring, just below the tree. I'm not sure if it's the fountain of good luck. It seems to be an ancient alchemy laboratory. In fact, this tree may also be an alchemy item." Sirius is not sure. Said, "You better come and see for yourself."
