Why are there adventurers in the world? The answer is to explore unknown places, which not only brings rich resources but also satisfies people's curiosity.
Now, Wu Ming's curiosity has been aroused, and he can't wait to know whether the following things are related to the legend.
Keep going downward, and after half an hour, there is no longer darkness in the depths, but a faint light coming from the depths.
Alchemy products that looked like fireballs illuminated the space at the bottom, and Wu Ming vaguely seemed to see a large altar.
"altar!"
After seeing the outline of the altar, Wu Ming could no longer bear the downward speed like a turtle.
In an instant, he jumped out from the stone steps, the power of the floating technique enveloped his whole body, and he fell down like a goose feather.
One second, five seconds, ten seconds...
As the distance gets closer, the entire bottom space becomes larger and larger, at least as large as two football fields.
A minute later, Wu Ming, who used the floating technique, finally landed at the bottom.
When he stood at the bottom and looked up at the altar, he was already impressed by the altar's elegance.
This is an altar ten meters high and twenty meters wide, shaped like a pyramid, but with many more patterns.
Wu Ming stood at the foot of the altar, his fingers couldn't help but rub the base of the altar, feeling as cold as touching steel.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" While Wu Ming was stroking the altar, Nico Flamel and Hermione also arrived and stood behind Wu Ming.
Wu Mingyou walked around the altar, touching here and there, and said, "What is it made of? It doesn't feel like a stone, but like some kind of metal or other unknown things!"
Nico Flamel shook his head slightly, followed Wu Ming's example, touched the altar with his hand, and replied: "I don't know either. I have pursued this question, but I can only prove that this is not any known thing on earth.
Supplies.”
The pyramids of Egypt are the most incredible and magnificent ancient buildings in the world.
But compared with this altar, the Egyptian pyramids are a bit stretched and seem not worth mentioning. After all, although the pyramids are difficult to build, they are only relative to that era, and later generations can completely imitate them one to one.
But the altar in front of me is obviously not made of earth's craftsmanship, and the materials do not exist on earth.
In this way, this altar becomes even more mysterious. If it were seen by scientists outside, they would probably shout that it was the product of aliens.
Of course, none of the three people present were ordinary people.
Whether it is Wu Ming, Hermione, or the well-informed Nico Flamel, they prefer this building to come from the sages of ancient times.
"The history of this altar cannot be verified, but through hundreds of years of exploration, I also know some of its uses."
"What's the use? To help you escape from this world and go to other dimensions?"
Wu Ming asked back, while Nico Flamel shook his head and smiled: "Going to other planes is just my personal pursuit, not the core value of this altar. Are you interested? Come to the altar with me.
, let’s go up there and have a look.”
"Of course!" Wu Ming shrugged, took Hermione on the altar, and headed towards the top.
The top of the altar is carved with complex patterns, and in the middle is a raised stone platform.
Wu Ming stood here, looking at everything around him.
He found that this place looked a bit like offering sacrifices, but unfortunately there were no statues of any gods. It was more like a place dedicated to worshiping heaven.
"Do you see that platform in the middle?"
"I saw it..."
Wu Ming nodded. The most conspicuous thing on the top of the altar is the half-person-high platform. If anyone can't see the platform while standing here, he or she is probably not blind.
Glancing at the conspicuous platform, Wu Ming watched Nico Flamel step forward and place an apple on it.
After placing the apples, Nico Flamel turned his head slightly and whispered: "Open your eyes and look carefully!"
"What are you looking at? You just took an apple as a sacrifice. This is too..."
Wu Minggang wanted to say that the other party was stingy, but the next second, the apple on the altar disappeared.
This was a very sudden disappearance, as if a pair of invisible hands had stolen the apple in full view of everyone.
"What's going on, where are the apples?" Wu Ming's eyes widened and he couldn't help asking Nico Flamel.
"I was sacrificed, and I got this!"
Nico Flamel raised his hand with a smile. Wu Ming looked at it carefully and found that the other person was holding a grape.
Wu Ming found it interesting that he sacrificed an apple and got a grape.
Although individually speaking, an apple the size of a fist has become a grape the size of a fingertip. There is no doubt that this is a loss-making business.
However, Wu Ming was more curious about how this was done, so he asked: "What kind of law is this? An unknown transaction, a conversion between substances, or something created out of nothing?"
"How should I put it? This is a very strange and unequal conversion. You can convert anything, such as water, bread, stone, gold, magic books, and even your socks!"
As Nico Flamel spoke, he put the exchanged grapes into his mouth and said while eating: "But as you can see, the conversion here is not equivalent. Generally speaking,
If you use ten kilograms of gold bars and choose to trade gold bars here, you will only get one kilogram. The remaining nine kilograms of gold bars may be used as handling fees or consumed by other things!"
If you sacrifice ten kilograms of gold bars, you can get one kilogram of gold bars, and the exchange ratio reaches ten to one.
From a numerical point of view, the things obtained from each sacrifice are only one-tenth of the value of the sacrifice. It seems that such a conversion is very disadvantageous.
However, sometimes numerology is not the only truth.
For example, Nico Flamel plans to use this altar to achieve his goal of leaving this world. In this way, how should the value of freedom be measured compared to endless imprisonment.
It is impossible to measure, even if the price paid is high, Nico Flamel is still willing to accept it.
Therefore, from a certain perspective, the value of this sacrificial altar is also immeasurable, even if its exchange ratio is only ten to one.
"What is the name of this altar?" Wu Ming was silent for a while and asked Nico Flamel.
Nico Flamel looked at the altar at his feet and hesitantly said: "When I just discovered it, there was a piece of parchment left here. It said, remember to leave the last gift in life to your last friend.
, the signature is a magic sacrificial altar!”
"Magic Sacrifice Altar!" Upon hearing this name, Wu Ming raised his eyebrows.
You must know that the reason why Wu Ming chose the world of Harry Potter for this mission was not only his own yearning for magic, but also the magical phoenix Fox given in the mission reward, and the sacrificial altar in front of him.
Phoenix Fawkes, in the hands of Dumbledore, Wu Ming had seen before.
The only thing he didn't expect was that this magic altar would actually be at Nico Flamel's place, and that he would even touch it.
"Leave the last gift in life to your only friend!"
Wu Ming muttered these words, and thought of the murals he had seen before, and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "The legend of the three brothers, the magic sacrificial altar. Could it be that this is the legacy of the group of elemental mages codenamed Lao San?"
