Chapter 606: Demon Dark Magic
“Master Evan, let’s go back, Dobby is afraid!” Dobby said trembling, feeling fear.
Unlike before, his fear was no longer from darkness and ice, but from the strange circular building in front of him.
Even with a thick ice wall between them, Dobby didn’t feel much at ease. He clasped tightly to Evan’s robes, his big bulb eyes staring nervously at the altar behind the azure blue ice wall.
Seeing the cyan light shining above the altar, Dobby shrank back and hid behind Evan.
He didn’t know that it was an altar to summon the devil, but felt fear and pressure by instinct that told him it was dangerous to stay here any longer.
If it hadn’t been for Evan, Dobby would have run away!
Unlike Dobby who felt nothing but fear, Evan became a little excited after a brief shock.
“Don’t worry, Dobby!” he said softly, and stepped closer to the ice wall. “The thing inside can’t come out. We’re safe. A devil altar that has been successfully activated, this is a rare research opportunity!”
Evan looked at the devil altar behind the ice wall with interest, as well as the light and magic runes that flashed on it from time to time.
All signs showed that this was an active devil altar.
In fact, he never expected to find such a thing in Hogwarts, which was too rare.
Even if he didn’t find a clue about Hufflepuff’s treasure, this devil altar alone was a big harvest.
If other young wizards were present, they might just turn around and flee in a hurry to tell the school professors about it.
But Evan didn’t intend to do that, at least not until he understood the whole principle of the altar.
He was also worried that it would be a powerful and aggressive Dark magic, but when he saw the demon’s Altar, he was completely relieved.
From the point of view of evil and taboo, the existence of demon’s Devil Altar totally exceeded that of the vast majority of Dark magic.
But this thing was not dangerous, as long as the demon was not summoned out, nothing would happen.
On the other hand, only by meeting the corresponding conditions and paying the right price could the altar be used to summon its demon.
With Evan’s understanding of the demon black magic, he knew that the value of an active devil altar was no less than a Philosopher’s Stone.
From the perspective of magic research, the value and significance of this altar were even more unimaginable.
In fact, demon magic had once flourished, and was the most important magic branch mastered by ancient warlocks.
They created and summoned many powerful demons to enslave them, making these magical creatures their own slaves.
Regardless of whether or not they specialized in this, almost every ancient warlock had his own demon, the most famous of which was King Solomon and his demons known as his seventy-two pillars.
The legendary stories about them had also been circulated among Muggles for thousands of years.
In Muggles’ eyes, Solomon was the third king of the ancient kingdom of Israel, frequently appearing in Biblical records.
But in the eyes of the wizarding world, he was a powerful ancient warlock like Prophet Abraham.
However, his status and strength were below those of his predecessor.
The greatest feat of Solomon was the construction of the temple, in which he was said to have placed the Ark of the Covenant of Moses and the Israelites. It was a legendary magic item with a very special status and significance, even considered as a symbol of God’s presence.
Besides, there were seventy-two pillars in the hall of the temple, which sealed the seventy-two demons created by King Solomon.
These seventy-two demons were also known as the seventy-two pillars of the demons, and the giant pillars that sealed them were also the altars that summoned demons.
King Solomon ruled his territory by relying on the Ark of the Covenant and the 72 demon gods. No one dared to resist his rule.
This lasted until his death, when the seventy-two pillars of the demon fell apart and completely disappeared from the world, and along with them the country he had ruled.
The descendants compiled the Lesser Key of Solomon according to the seventy-two pillars of the Temple Hall, which detailed the method of Solomon’s summoning of the seventy-two demons.
Unfortunately, this book was also finally lost in the long river of history.
Solomon and the demons he created and summoned are only an outstanding representative of demon magic. After his death, ancient magicians continued to develop and expand this magic and summoned all kinds of extremely powerful demons. They combined demonic magic with other magic categories in an attempt to create more powerful creatures until they called out evil spirits.
After that, the splendid ancient magic civilization dominated by ancient warlocks quickly disappeared, leaving only legends and ruins to be passed down to the world.
Although the ancient warlocks had disappeared, the remaining demonic magic was inherited and considered as a kind of black magic.
Due to the loss of many important books and the lack of such powerful magic and magical materials to make altars, the demons summoned by wizards were far less powerful than the evil gods of ancient warlocks, and the method of summoning was more evil and bloody.
As a remedy for the lack of material and the lack of magic, Dark wizards chose sacrifices for the demons, the most popular of which was human beings, and more precisely human wizards!
Dark wizards believed that the stronger the power of the wizard as a sacrifice was, the greater the power of the summoned demon was.
Or else they had another way, which was to choose a witch under the age of fifteen.
The purer the girl’s body and mind, the more beautiful she looked; the more she could attract the attention of powerful demons.
According to different methods of summoning, the selection criteria of sacrifices were different, but they were generally such a set of deformed evil theories.
After a brief revival in the dark Middle Ages, this twisted dark magic was quickly abandoned by the mainstream of the wizarding world, prohibiting any wizards from conducting research.
The most Evan could find now was the decree of the Ministry of Magic and International Confederation of Wizards on the prohibition of studying the demon black magic, and all the magic books related to it had been burned.
Up to now, the demon black magic had been very unpopular.
Even if any evil dark wizard wanted to use it, it was unlikely he could find relevant information.
The two methods of summoning demons recorded in Secrets of the Darkest Art could only summon lower demons.
Besides this book, Evan could find all the basic information about the demon Dark magic.
It only recorded the rudimentary knowledge. No matter how he studied it, he could only know at most was superficial.
Evan was very interested in this kind of magic, but had not been able to conduct in-depth research on it.
If he relied on the superficial knowledge at hand to summon a demon, then that would purely mean looking for death!
