Chapter 334: Delving Deeper

Chapter 334: Delving Deeper

The fairy regarded Felix Harp with an unsettling gaze.

"Clementine spoke highly of you, Mr. Felix Harp," he inclined his head slightly. "It is an honor to collaborate with you. I am Gornuk." With that, he flicked his fingers forcefully, causing his slender nails to shimmer. Soon, the fairy's body blurred into obscurity as he turned and made his way towards the three individuals in the campFaisal, Rahman, and Clementine. They were inspecting their equipment, deciding what to take with them, including curse detectors, dark magic detectors, and various protective items.

"Fairy magic," Felix thought.

Hermione muttered discontentedly beside them, irritated by the fact that the fairy named Gornuk completely ignored her, despite being able to see her without even looking up.

Felix whispered, "Gringotts goblins are somewhat friendly, but if you encounter unfamiliar fairies in the wild, stay cautious. It's hard to determine if they are safe."

Hermione's mind spun as she whispered, "Fairy subversion group?" Despite the overall peace between fairies and wizards since the treaty was signed, a small faction of fairies still harbored deep hatred for wizards, attempting to overthrow their dominance.

Especially within their own territories, this attitude was overt. Many wizard jokes were concocted and spread within fairy taverns. The reverse was also true.

Clementine jogged over. "These are specially crafted dragon-hide gloves with a certain curse-resistant effect."

"Professor, can I use magic?" Hermione pondered a crucial question.

"Of course, the British Ministry of Magic doesn't have jurisdiction here," Felix said. "You can try it out now."

Hermione hesitated, then pulled out her wand and cast the Shield Charm incantation. An invisible barrier formed in front of her.

"Very good, just like that."

Subsequently, they entered the pyramid, following a winding, narrow path between stone crevices. They held their wands and kept their bodies crouched, as even a slight straightening would lead to banging their heads against the granite ceiling. They trudged forward, with amplified breaths filling their ears.

Guided by the glow from the tip of their wands, they walked for some time until the path split at a fork.

"To the right lies the Pharaoh's tomb, and to the left is the secret chamber we discovered," Clementineexplained.

Some people had a natural affinity for animals, easily gaining their trust. Felix believed that such individuals were well-suited to learn Vagadu's Self-Transfiguration, a different branch of human transfiguration compared to Animagus magic. It allowed wizards to transform into animals at will, extending beyond just elephants and leopards, possibly encompassing other creatures.

Felix was convinced that he would witness this magic in the upcoming Triwizard Tournament.

He also remembered that wizarding talents weren't confined to these examples. Some wizards excelled in specific types of magic. For instance, Harry had a remarkable talent for dueling magic, surpassing his peers by a considerable margin. Ancient wizards had exhibited similar traits.

In ancient times, wizards tended to choose apprentices with similar talents. Those significantly different, even if talented, wouldn't be given much attention.

Felix drew his wand, thrusting it forward. With a swish and a "whoosh," the wand cleaved the air. A series of incantations shot into the black mist, and after a while, the mist gradually dissipated.

"What did you do?" Fairy Gornuk asked in astonishment.

"Any magic leaves a trace. I merely found the key nodes that formed the mist," Felix replied curtly. As the mist cleared, the corridor became distinct. With the illumination from the courtyard's magical lanterns, they could see black stone slabs hung on both walls.

Hermione carefully approached, standing at the entrance, and stared in surprise at the nearest stone slab. The patterns on it looked hauntingly familiar. "Ancient magic? Rune sequence!"

"Yes," Felix responded in a hushed voice. "Don't go in." Suddenly, he raised his voice sharply, not addressing Hermione. Hermione turned to the side, only to see Gornuk the fairy advancing ahead.
