Vol 2 Chapter 1812: Hufflepuff's true test

The scene in front of him surprised Harry. He was standing in a strange space, about the size of a Muggle bus, surrounded by layers of gray-brown flesh, and there was something indescribable about being in it. Weird feeling.
What really stands out are the magic gems and spell runes inlaid on it. There are many dark-colored lines between the runes, which are intricate and look like the blood vessels of this creature.
Harry didn't understand these things at all, didn't know what they were used for.
He just felt shocked!
There is no doubt that this is a highly complex magical item.
Behind him, Sirius and Dobby followed, looking around in amazement.
"Here...I feel a strange magical aura." Sirius said.
"Those are all magic stones, what you feel is their breath." Hermione said, pointing to the gems on the surrounding walls, "This is definitely an ancient alchemy item, it takes so many magic stones to drive it, it's hard Believe it, and don't know who made it? Come on, Harry, put the gold cup here."
Following the direction of her fingers, Harry saw a raised platform just like outside. There is also a groove on it, which is used to place the gold cup.
When Harry put the gold cup on it, the water inside kept pouring out. This time they could see clearly that there were many entrances of small pipes around the high platform, and water entered them along those entrances.
Immediately afterwards, there was a gurgling sound characteristic of water flowing around. Under the moisturization of water, this thing seems to come alive. The "vessels" trembled slightly, and the magic stone emitted a faint light, igniting those complex spell runes, and making the flowing water also gain magic power.
The flow of water poured out from the golden cup, not in a hurry or slow, the magic stone and spell runes became brighter and brighter, and soon, with a huge and long tremor and roar, the creature moved.
It drilled into the soil with four people and drove quickly to the depths of the earth.
Through the translucent layers of flesh around them, they could vaguely see that they were moving fast.
"Everything here is incredible, we'd better re-organize the current situation." Sirius took a deep breath and said with a serious face, "There is no doubt that this place is full of magic that we are not familiar with. A relic from the Age of Magic and associated with house-elves."
"At the current level of the magic world, it is indeed difficult to create such a thing."
"That's the content of mysticism? When I was studying at Hogwarts, I had read some books on mysticism, but I definitely didn't know as much as you and Avon." Sirius paused for a moment, "I want to say The thing is, such ancient magical ruins may contain treasures, but they often come with great danger."
The so-called occult is a school that was once very popular in the magic world. Many wizards believe that there is a fault in the inheritance of the magic world. Before the modern magic system, there was a highly developed and prosperous magic age. Modern wizards can only learn from the amazing magic relics left by ancient spellcasters. See the whole picture.
The Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic is an agency that specializes in these magical items.
Some wizards believe this, but more wizards scoff at it. The mainstream of the magic world still thinks that spells are passed down from generation to generation, and they are constantly improved to become what they are today. There is no ancient magic era, but by correcting them. With the understanding of the evil and the tracking of clues left by the four founders of Hogwarts, Ivan, Hermione, and Harry all know that part of the occultism really exists.
"This place can't be left by ancient house-elves. They can't make this thing under their feet." Sirius continued, "If it is a magical relic left by ancient spellcasters, then this place may be very dangerous. At this time, it is really not suitable for another unsure adventure. In fact, I have always been skeptical about the demon you saw, and the clues he provided may not be credible."
"Indeed, that demon was disgusted with wizards!" Harry recalled. "He would not tell us anything at first, but was forced by Dumbledore's magic and Hermione's opposition to wizards' stance on the Pixie Wars. Reluctant to give the clue. He said that Hufflepuff had a lot of house-elves and returned to the house-elf home with her treasure, let's go to the house-elves' home and look for it."
"Hufflepuff's treasure, not a secret treasure key? Then anything is possible? Maybe Hufflepuff's gift to that house-elf or something..."
"Well, yes!" Harry admitted, also thinking it was very likely.
"I have discussed with Ivan, and we don't think the devil's words are credible, but the home of the house-elf is our only clue at the moment, so we have to look at it anyway." Hermione said, "In fact, about Hedge Patch's treasure key, and another clue."
"What is it?"
"I've never heard of you?"
"Because this clue is very vague, when Ivan returned to Hogwarts a thousand years ago, he once asked Hufflepuff herself, where is the secret treasure key she left behind? What is the test? The other three founders The clues and tests left are obvious, such as Gryffindor and the centaurs on the test of courage and strength, Ravenclaw and the mermaid on the test of wisdom and time, Slytherin and the of death on death, the human heart. The test, Hufflepuff's test has always been very vague, even if there are clues about the home of the house-elf, we have speculated... Normally it shouldn't be the case, Ivan told me, Hufflepuff's The answer is that her help will come at just the right time, and when it does, it means we've passed the test."
"What does that mean, I don't understand?"
"I don't understand Ai Wen either, that's why we came here to investigate. We can't let go of any possible clues, instead of doing nothing and waiting for a miracle to come."
"Hufflepuff's help will appear at the right time, and when it appears, it means we have passed the test." Harry repeated this sentence silently, he felt that it was very similar to Dumbledore, Could the resurrection stone he left behind, also at the last moment, come into play when Harry needs it most?
"Just in time? We need her treasure key right now." Sirius analyzed, "And why does it mean passing the test when we get it?"
Hermione shook her head, she didn't know.
What exactly is the Hufflepuff test?
