The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 188 Red and White (Please subscribe, collect, and recommend)
Ryan felt that the content of this adventure was getting weirder and weirder. He originally thought that this was just a simple temple adventure and he had to deal with some magic traps and mechanisms. But not only did Zongzi escape, but there were quite a few of them. He felt that this adventure was becoming more and more like a tomb raider.

But think about it, this is also normal. After all, archaeologists have discovered the tombs of ancient Mayan civilization priests or nobles in many Mayan pyramid temples, just like there are many celebrity tombs in European churches. So it is understandable that there is a cemetery in the Mayan temple of the magic world. The only thing that is incomprehensible is why those members of the Blood God Cult chose to build their base on the cemetery. What is the difference between this and dancing on the grave?

Standing in front of the stone gate, Ryan silently prayed that there would be no more zongzi in front of him. After all, he had neither the tomb-grabbing talisman nor the black donkey hoof, so he was not really prepared for tomb-robbing.

Fortunately, the long time had caused many of the runes on the door that were used for concealment to weather away, so Ryan used his Eagle Eye skill to easily see the flow of magic on the door. So he pulled out his magic wand and sprayed golden threads in the air, allowing these threads to demonstrate the magic structure on the stone door.

Hermione saw Ryan writing and drawing in the air after looking at the magic structure demonstrated. After looking at it for a while, she said to him, "Let me help you take a look." Then she quickly calculated. The two of them calculated together and the efficiency was indeed much higher. During the calculation, they found that these magic structures were not very complicated and it only took a little time to find a breakthrough point.

After five or six minutes, Hermione indicated that she had finished her calculations, and pointed out to Ryan that in order to open the stone door, he must infuse magic power into the five patterns on the door at the same time. If the magic power was not infused correctly, it would activate the magic defense system here.

After reading Hermione's calculation results, Ryan realized that the biggest difficulty here was not the simple magic structures on the stone gate, but the fact that these five patterns needed to be infused with magic at the same time, and the magic in each pattern could not be less than the total magic of an adult wizard.

Originally, this was a mechanism set up in the temple in the past to prevent infiltration by hostile forces. After all, the chance of finding five traitors from the same force at the same time in such a high-level temple is very small. This door in the core area is not something that foreign enemies can break into when the temple is still operating normally.

This stone door itself is made of two large pieces of obsidian. If it is forced open, it will easily attract the attention of people in the core hall above.

However, the designers of the temple probably did not expect that a thousand years after they abandoned the temple, a wizard would be able to open the stone door through special techniques.

Ryan fixed five jade talismans that had been infused with magic power on the patterns, then used silk threads dyed red with rooster blood to connect the jade talismans together, and finally held the silk threads with both hands to activate the magic power on the talismans.

The jade talisman emitted a faint white light, and the stone door opened to both sides. However, Ryan was shocked by what he saw in the room after opening the stone door.

Behind the door was a football field-sized space. Except for a small platform at the entrance, the rest of the space was a huge pit. The pit was completely filled with blood, and a large number of bones were floating in the blood pool. Even after thousands of years, the blood still remained fresh.

The red blood and white bones in the blood pool intertwined into a mysterious picture. In the air above the blood pool, a black mist was floating around, making a heart-pounding buzzing sound.

In the middle of the blood pool, there is an unfenced stone arch bridge, one end of which is connected to the platform at the entrance, and the other end is connected to the other side of the blood pool. There is also a corresponding platform on the other side, and there is a golden door facing the platform. From time to time, a wisp of red mist emerges from the blood pool and is absorbed by the door. Every time the door absorbs the mist, a golden light flashes. Ryan found that the time when this blood-red mist appears is very regular. And the door also flashes regularly with the flying mist, feeling like a living thing breathing there.

It seems that this place on the map was most likely not erased due to weathering but was deliberately erased by someone in order to hide this blood pool that looks extremely evil.

"Oh my God!" Hermione came in from behind and covered her mouth with her hands and exclaimed softly. After all, for a girl who grew up in a peacetime, everything in front of her was really too exciting.

"What is going on?" Hermione asked Ryan after taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

"Blood sacrifice, the blood sacrifice of the indigenous people." Ryan said to Hermione. His voice was a little trembling at this time, because he was not only explaining to Hermione, but also hoped to distract attention and dispel the uneasiness in his heart through such explanation.

"Remember when we came to Castrobruso School on the first day, the professor told us that before this school was established, cruel blood sacrifice magic was popular in the local area, and this place should be a place for blood sacrifice magic. And the road we just walked on is probably for those sacrifices." After saying this, Ryan also figured out one thing in his mind: the servants marked on the map were not the servants who served people as he originally imagined, but servants who needed to sacrifice their lives to serve the so-called blood god.

"Look here." After looking at the surroundings, Ryan pointed to a human-shaped groove on the small platform under his feet. "The sacrifices should have been killed here. Then their hearts would be sacrificed for some magical rituals, and their bodies would be thrown directly into the blood pool as nutrients."

"How do you know?" Hermione asked with a slight tremor. "You should not have been here."

"The relief under your feet says it all." Ryan stepped lightly on the ground, and Hermione turned her eyes away from the blood pool that attracted everyone's attention. Sure enough, the relief on this small platform showed the entire sacrificial process like a cartoon.

"Looking at the current situation, this is not only a temple, but also a tomb. Do you remember what the local magic history that you saw in Castrobruchuo College said?"

"Let me think about it. Oh, right." Hermione turned around twice and suddenly said, "Local indigenous wizards have always believed that they came from the distant Sirius, so in high-level tombs there must be a passage from the tomb owner's tomb chamber leading to the outside world and directly to the location of Uranus. For us, the passage corresponding to this volume of tomb chamber is large enough for us to escape."

"That's right. The only problem now is that there is a secret room behind the golden gate. But I don't think a tomb owner who can kill so many people is a very kind person, so this blood pool may not be so easy to pass through." Ryan said, directing a mummy he had just controlled to walk onto the stone bridge.
