The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 186: Temple Exploration (Please subscribe, collect, and recommend)
As we all know, space folding is a popular technology in the wizarding world, such as Mr. Weasley's car and Ryan's space bag.

But the builder of this temple in front of us is the real genius. He built this huge temple directly into the folded space. This may be the reason why the school has been built on it for so many years without discovering it.

In Ryan's perception, this space is a bit like the Emerald Dream. Perhaps it is what Aunt Betty the centaur said, that some powerful wizards can directly cut off space from the Emerald Dream and materialize it in the real world, but Ryan never thought that someone could really materialize a space as big as a mountain.

Standing at the entrance of the passage was not a good idea, especially when you didn't know when the passage would come alive and crush the people in it. So Ryan and Hermione quickly walked out of the hole and came to the square of the temple.

The square is not as big as the temple, but its area is close to that of a standard football field. The entire square is paved with a vermilion rock, which looks like a sea of ​​blood. A small path leads directly to the entrance of the pyramid temple, dividing the square into two halves. On both sides of the path are densely packed totem poles.

Each totem pole was vividly carved with a creature, some of which Ryan and his friends had seen in textbooks, but some of which they had never seen before. Walking on the path, Ryan could feel the magic emanating from the totem poles, but as shown in the memory fragments received before, the Blood God Cult and the Chimera Society had only discovered this place for half a year and had not had time to study the functions of these totem poles, so Ryan and his friends could smoothly follow the path through the totem poles and come to the door of the pyramid.

As we approached the pyramid, the patterns on the building gradually became clearer. We could see that the entire pyramid was embossed with various monster totems, and at the entrance was a huge monster. The monster's wide-open mouth was the gate of the pyramid temple, and the row of columns supporting the porch looked just like the monster's sharp teeth. The entire gate gave people a terrifying feeling.

"Follow me!" Ryan took a deep breath and turned to Hermione behind him. Hermione nodded and tightened her wand.

Ryan did not walk into the main road facing the gate in the porch at this time. Instead, he walked a short distance to the left after passing through the porch and came to a monster sculpture. He took out his wand and tapped the monster's claws in a specific rhythm.

After the beating, the monster's claws suddenly opened to reveal a hole with a diameter of more than one meter. A wooden ladder could be seen going down from the hole. This was the most valuable thing Ryan found in the pile of memories: the road at the door led directly to the headquarters of the Blood God Cult, but there were many guards and various traps along the way. Ryan felt that he had no way to force his way through with one person.

However, this huge pyramid, which is as big as a mountain, has a group of passages like a spider web. Neither the Blood God Cult nor the Chimera Society has the energy to clean up every passage. In his memory, the fake professor once took a look at the map on the stone wall, and he remembered this passage that had never been cleaned up and led directly to the central hall of the temple where the headquarters of the God Cult was located. In the records, this road is called the Servant Passage.

The only problem was that the map itself had some defects, and a section in the middle of the passage on the stone map was no longer visible due to severe weathering. But compared to fighting his way through with a burden head-on, Ryan was still willing to take this unknown risk.

After casting a Bubble Head Charm on himself and Hermione, Ryan and the others went down the ladder into the passage. As soon as they reached the ground, the monster sculpture on top lowered its claws to cover the hole, and everything was immersed in darkness.

Ryan first let Xiaoqing in his pocket crawl to the front to explore the way. Then he heard the rapid breathing behind him. It seems that the darkness has brought great psychological pressure to people. "Fluorescent flash" Ryan lit up his wand, then handed the wand to his left hand and picked up Clinvi's tooth with his right hand. After all, the magic weapon of Clinvi's tooth, a Viking heritage he mastered, is more suitable for releasing various spells in the heritage than the wand.

"Don't worry. As far as I know, this road is the safest in the temple. You'll be fine as long as you follow me." Ryan whispered to comfort Hermione who was a little nervous behind him.

What gave him this confidence was the Eagle Eye technique he acquired last summer vacation. Because he chose the magic-improved Eagle Eye technique at that time, after acquiring natural magic and doing some research on magic runes, Ryan spent some time to improve his Eagle Eye technique. Now after activating the Eagle Eye technique, he can feel the subtle magic induction in the surrounding environment, and then discover some magic-related traps or treasures.

This made him feel fortunate that he did not choose genetic modification, the principles of which he had no idea about, but instead chose the magic version, which was a little worse but he could figure it out through research himself and could be upgraded as his overall strength and knowledge level increased.

With the help of Eagle Vision, Ryan could see that although the road under his feet was just a shortcut to the temple, there were still many magic traps set up. Based on the magical energy that was emitted, it could be judged that some of these traps were still in operation at least today.

But perhaps because this path was used by servants of low strength in the past, the traps inside were not high-level and were easily discovered and circumvented by Ryan. The only difficulty was that as a servant passage, it was naturally at the bottom of the construction priority.

Therefore, the whole passage went left and right, up and down, and sometimes even had to go through some narrow caves. After all, the original users of this passage were the lowest people in the temple, and they had to make way for almost all other passages in the entire temple. In the process of rushing on the road, Xiaoqing helped a lot. In many places, it explored first and confirmed that there was no danger before Ryan and his team went through.

Ryan also found a few rooms on the way. Unfortunately, from the remaining things in these rooms, it can be seen that they were either sundry warehouses or servants' residences. There were only some badly weathered and dilapidated furniture and corn stalks that had turned completely black. It was estimated that if a mouse came, it would cry and run away.

After walking for more than ten minutes, before Ryan and his friends were almost driven crazy by these narrow, dark and stuffy passages, Ryan finally received a message from Xiaoqing in front: it was now in a relatively spacious space, but could not find the way ahead.

It seems that this is the weathered part of the map. At least I can finally get out of this tunnel. Ryan thought about it and quickened his pace.
