All things are three at Hogwarts

Chapter 337 Trap (modified, 2nd update thanks to Super Silver Alliance Ksg, Huan Yu)

"It should be a long time since any creature opened the door to the showroom." Allen looked at the showroom and came to a conclusion.

The inches of dust in the room and the smell of decay in the air told this.

The three people's eyes focused on the only crystal ball that emitted blue light.

The shadows of those mysterious runes were unpredictable, strongly attracting their attention.

Allen did not rush in. He cautiously probed at the door.

"This room, like Hogwarts, prohibits disembodiment." Allen couldn't help but feel strange.

After repeatedly confirming that there were no traps on the ground, he stepped in.

"You guys wait outside the door, I'll explore the way first." Hermione and Luna wanted to follow him, but were stopped by Allen.

However, just when he was about five feet away from the glowing crystal ball, the crystal ball suddenly made a loud noise.

The ancient and heavy sound vibrated, instantly filling the entire room, moving the air around him, and the colorless waves rolled violently, as if devouring the mortal world regardless of risk.

Merlin's gem automatically appeared between Allen's eyebrows, and his mind was clear, completely unaffected by the voice.

However, the sound spread outside the door and affected Hermione and Luna. They were in a daze and turned around and ran involuntarily.

Allen hurriedly followed them, but no matter whether he cursed to stop or closed his ears and listened, it was of no use.

While they were running, no matter whether it was stone pillars, large wooden barrels, or any other decorations, anything that blocked their progress would be destroyed by them without any hesitation.

It wasn't until they ran to the vestibule that they covered their ears in a daze.

Allen concluded that the two people's sanity was no longer affected, and first sent the two people into the tower to hide and rest.

Then, he immediately transformed into a phoenix, apparated and entered the showroom.

Although he could feel the vibration of the airflow, Allen, who was not affected at all, went straight to the crystal ball and put it into the storage compartment.

After several echoes, the sound suddenly stopped.

Alan disapparated again and returned to Hermione and Luna.

"What is the function of this crystal ball? It no longer makes any sound after leaving the showroom. How strange!"

Hermione was extremely curious. She had become interested in this aspect since she saw Professor Traolini's prophecy in the divination class last time.

Luna also stared at the crystal ball that Allen placed on the table with great interest.

"Perhaps, as we get more information, we will figure it out." Allen thought it would be better to continue exploring and get more information before making a judgment.

The three of them continued walking, and a passage about twenty feet long appeared in front of them.

The passage is filled with the smell of corruption, and there is another stone door at the end of the passage.

The three people walked over carefully and came directly to the stone door. Allen listened to the movement behind the door again, and then pushed the stone door open.

A dusty room appeared in front of them, and the dust covered the whole room like snow.

On the north wall, white marble with reddish lines was carved into a giant dragon, about ten feet tall, looking at Allen and the others quietly.

"How shocking!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Ashadron..." Luna's ethereal voice came.

"Hello, please answer the question: There is no need to summon or drive away. We appear at night and dissipate during the day."

A powerful voice suddenly exploded in the secret room.

"It can talk!" cried Hermione.

"Magic Mouth Technique!" Allen said.

"It makes it look like it can really talk." After being surprised, Hermione also remembered this magic.

"Stars." Luna said.

"What?" Allen and Hermione looked at Luna, but Luna looked to the right side of the dragon, and a stone door suddenly appeared in front of them.

Only then did Alan and Hermione realize that what Luna said was the answer to the dragon riddle.

Listening for the voice behind the door again, Allen pushed the door open. This process has become almost instinctive to him.

The room, which was about twenty feet wide, was also covered in dust.

There are three inward wall recesses on the south and north sides, five of which are decorated with white marble statues with reddish veins. There is nothing in the south-western recess.

The statue looked like a tall warrior wearing steel armor.

Through the arches on the west wall of the hall, you can see a wider hall, in which the green firelight flickers.

On the ground not far from the western arch, they found a deep pit spanning the entire room, blocking their progress.

"Huh? Look," Hermione suddenly pointed to a dusty ground, "there are claw marks here."

This paw print was left about many years ago. The mark is very deep. Even if it is covered with dust again, the previous traces can still be seen.

"The creature that left these marks should have bare feet, the shape of its feet is similar to that of humans, and its toes have sharp claws." Hermione touched her chin and guessed based on the marks on the ground.

The traces begin in recesses in the walls and eventually disappear into deep pits.

The pit in front of them was about ten feet high and had spikes at the bottom. The walls of the pit are relatively rough.

But there is a narrow bridge over the pit, just wide enough for one person to pass.

Allen took the lead on the small bridge. Luna and Hermione followed.

Just when Allen reached the middle of the bridge, he was pushed off the bridge by a pair of sharp claws that suddenly appeared.

Immediately, Allen heard a burst of nervous laughter from the bridge, as well as the sound of flapping membrane wings.

"Quaser." Luna immediately recognized the culprit who pushed him off the bridge, and Hermione immediately thought of the information she read in the book.

The Quasaimon looks like a shrunken human being, but it has small horns on its forehead and bat-like wings trailing from its back; its skin is green and uneven.

The Quasai Demon has slender hands and feet, with sharp claws on the tips of its fingers. It was these sharp claws that pushed Allen under the bridge.

Not only that, it also activated the panic spell, causing Hermione and Luna, who were about to cast the spell, to feel palpitated and shrink under the influence of the spell.

Waves of panic arose in Luna's heart, like waves crashing against the rocks.

Hermione's face was pale and she looked motionless at the sudden appearance of the monster.

But soon, Hermione was the first to wake up from the panic, her Occlumency was activated, and she successfully resisted the panic spell.

She learned Occlumency faster than Luna. After a while, Luna also got rid of the attack of panic.

Hermione struck a petrifying spell at the Quaser Demon. The Quaser Demon was small and extremely flexible, and successfully evaded Hermione's attack.

Hermione seized the opportunity and asked loudly, "Alan, are you okay?"
