Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures-Chapter 1205: Demon Altar

“A team of adventurers discovered this building from under the gravel…” Evan said. “The Egyptian Ministry of Magic and Gringotts are organizing personnel to excavate. They found the antechamber you mentioned, this place, and a room with three Obelisks.”

“Well, the three places you have discovered are very important. This should not be a coincidence,” said Ramses II, touching his chin. “This room is the hub of the magic I set up. The front hall can facilitate their contact with the outside world. The secret room where the Obelisks are located is the entrance to the prison. To be able to discover these three places, some of the adventurers must have received guidance from the gods in the prison. It’s almost as expected. My spells can only restrict those beings for three thousand years at most.”

“Those gods trapped here can communicate with the outside world?” Evan asked, realizing the situation had become even more complicated.

This reminded him of the eyeball monster sealed in Aragog’s lair, which had lured the Acromantulas in the same way.

And there was that evil god who once corrupted the entire Centaur tribe and made them his servants.

Spiritual seduction was the evil gods’ specialty.

Ramses II said that many of those gods were originally servants of evil deities, so it was not impossible for them to attempt such lures.

The key was the consequences of their actions—those magical mechanisms, which Evan thought were nearly impossible to break, would no longer be an issue.

“Yes, after all this time, they must be extraordinarily weak and can only guide the adventurers, perhaps by using prophecy spells or speaking to you in dreams,” Ramses II nodded. “Moreover, since you’ve already discovered the antechamber, if someone worships the statues there, they might hear the whispered responses of the corresponding gods. Although weakened, they can still manage this much. And that’s enough, because the power of the defensive spells and curses I left behind is also beginning to wane. Once someone opens the prison, they will escape, and it will only be a matter of time before they regain their strength. We can’t let that happen. Evan, How far have the adventurers progressed in their excavation?”

“They’re working on breaking the magic on the three Obelisks. The goblins believe it’s related to Alchemy.”

“That room is the entrance to the prison, but the gods don’t know that the method to enter the prison has nothing to do with the Obelisks. I played a trick here to make them mistakenly believe that they must break the magic on the Obelisks to enter the prison,” said Ramses II. “In fact, the three Obelisks form a demon altar.”

“A demon altar?” Evan looked at him in shock.

“Yes, it’s a demon altar. I sealed my most valued demon servant there. I used Alchemy to transform it, giving it eternal life. It will guard the gods within the prison for me.”

“You mean if the magic on the Obelisks is broken, it will actually summon a demon?”

Seeing Ramses II nod, Evan’s heart sank.

No wonder those three Obelisks gave him an ominous feeling. It turned out that they were not mechanisms at all, but a demon altar.

“What would that demon do? If it were summoned, how would it behave?”

“Well, I haven’t thought about this question. If I were there, it would probably bow and salute. If it were only the wizards and goblins from the Ministry of Magic you mentioned, that is, the intruders, I think it would eliminate them. After all, its duty is to guard this prison, and eliminating intruders is also what it should do.”

Since there were gods secretly guiding the adventurers, breaking the Obelisks was likely just a matter of time.

Right now, there were thousands of wizards in that room. If a demon was summoned…

Things really became more troublesome. Evan found that these ancient wizards were always like this—always wanting to create some major incident.

“I will teach you the spell to enter the prison and make the demon submit, as well as how to activate that weapon inside the prison,” Ramses II said. “As a reward for your help, I will also give you something that will be very useful to you…”

“Isn’t it this astrolabe?” Evan asked in surprise.

“Oh, no, that was left to you by the Creator of Time. I was just keeping it for you. It was part of the deal between him and me,” said Ramses II. “However, what I am going to give you is also related to this. I just mentioned the rules to you—no matter how many unexpected events occur; anything within the rules of time magic is bound to happen. But you should know, many things are outside those rules.”

Evan blinked, still not fully understanding what Ramses II was getting at.

He didn’t know why the topic returned to the rules of magic. What did this have to do with the reward that Ramses II was going to give him?

“Well, to put it simply, using a Time-Turner can take you back to the past or the future, but you’ve surely heard the warning not to change anything in time, haven’t you? Because doing so can affect other timelines… It is very likely that by changing a trivial thing, the world you are familiar with will undergo drastic changes, and even your own existence will be erased.”

Evan nodded. This was also one of the main reasons why he was particularly cautious about traveling through time.

He had returned to Hogwarts a thousand years ago and brought out the treasures of the Four Founders and the evil god.

He had gone back a few hours to catch Peter Pettigrew and save Sirius, only to lead Voldemort into an alliance with the evil god.

Originally, Voldemort was looking for the secret of the Elder Wand at this time. Now, in his quest to transform himself into an evil god, he had spread his minions across the world, collecting corpses of humans and magical creatures for him.

At the root, all of this was the result of Evan changing time.

What seemed like solving problems at the time had actually led events down an unpredictable path, becoming increasingly troublesome.

“Why does this happen? From a magical perspective, the changes you make when traveling through time are not within the rules of time. The changes you make are not inevitable, so they lead to many unpredictable results, which are the so-called correlations. Do you understand what I mean?”

“So, you’re saying that if the changes I make when I go back to the past or forward to the future are within the rules of time, there won’t be so many unexpected consequences?”

“That’s it, this is the rule. The same applies to other branches of magic. As long as it is within the rules, there is no need to worry about other unexpected changes,” said Ramses II, seeming clearly pleased that Evan finally understood what he meant.

“Then what should I do? How can I make the changes I’ve made to time fall within the rules?” Evan asked.

He still remembered Ramses II mentioning earlier that only the Titans could alter the rules—that it was a power of creation…
