The paintings were full of all kinds of magical animals, some of which Rolf knew, some of which he had only seen in books, and some of which he had never even heard of.
They were densely covered on the floor of the entire hall, so numerous that Rolf couldn't help but wonder if they included all the magical creatures in the world from ancient times to the present!
Shirley also stared intently at the mural at her feet, her eyes full of wonder. She took out her camera from her wallet, preparing to take pictures of these and show them to Hermione.
Nelisi also praised repeatedly. She also saw a manticore with its tail raised to sting, and its eyes were inlaid with two black gems.
She couldn't help but squat down and click on the gem, but unfortunately...it didn't move at all.
Luofu slowly raised his head, his gaze extending along the intricate patterns until he stopped in the center of the hall.
Then, he saw a burning... icicle.
To be more precise, it is a long and thick icicle with a flame hanging in the sky.
There is only one flame in the entire hall, which is used as lighting. Its light is reflected through the gems embedded in the wall, and then reflected again...
The entire Babel Tower, from bottom to top, is dazzling, as bright as day!
Luofu stared at the flame and found that its color was strange:
The outermost layer is white like snowflakes, the second layer is yellow like molten gold, the middle is red like copper, but the innermost layer is as black as ink.
At this time, a gust of wind passed through the bronze door, blowing Rolf's golden hair, but the flames floating on the icicles did not move at all, without any flickering.
Shirley stood beside the boy and also noticed the abnormality of the flame. She murmured: "Is this... the Gubulai fairy fire?"
"Yes." Luofu nodded, confirming her inquiry.
Naili Shi, who had given up on taking away the gems, looked at the two of them and asked with a confused look on her face: "Gublai Fairy Fire... what is that?"
"A powerful magic fire that can burn forever and never go out." The ponytail girl explained: "So, the Gubulai Fairy Fire is also called the eternal flame."
"Burning forever?" Nelisi showed a surprised expression. "This is incredible, so what does it rely on to burn?"
"By thermal radiation." Rolf followed up Shirley's words and replied:
"The Gubrai Immortal Fire is different from ordinary flames. It does not emit heat, but absorbs heat from the air to maintain its own brightness.
That’s why icicles appear under the Gubrai Immortal Fire. They are formed when water vapor in the air freezes after absorbing heat.”
Luofu paused and continued: "If you are burned by this kind of flame, you will not be scalded to death by the high temperature, but will be frozen to death by the low temperature."
Nailishi was shocked when she heard that the Gubrai fairy fire could freeze people to death. "This kind of magic fire must be difficult to make, right?"
"It's very difficult. Only wizards with extremely powerful magic can create this kind of magic." Luo Fe said.
Rolf once saw the Gubler Immortal Fire in Nico's manor. According to him:
Gubulai Fairy Fire comes from the ancient wizarding country, and its casting and control difficulty is much higher than that of the Fire Spell.
Therefore, Gubler's Fairy Fire is extremely precious, and Dumbledore asked Hagrid to go to Europe to find giants and bring gifts with it.
However, the ancient wizards invented this kind of flame, not just to use it for lighting, but through magic, they can see through the flames, across mountains, oceans and deserts, and see into distant corners.
Sitting in front of this flame, they can also display illusions from a distance or exchange information half a world away.
However, with the advent of the doomsday catastrophe and the destruction of the ancient wizard's kingdom, although the current wizards can still create this kind of flame, no one can use it for its real purpose.
Luo Fu secretly thought it was a pity. He looked down slightly and looked at the statue holding the ancient fire of Gubulai.
It was a giant, holding a flame in its hand, kneeling humbly on the ground. Next to it stood a centaur, holding a star chart, with a look of awe on its face.
On the left is a wizard, holding a magic wand and extending his hands high, as if he was about to make a sacrifice.
On the far right is a goblin holding a large piece of gold with a pious face.
The direction in which wizards, giants, centaurs and goblins worship is a taller statue.
The statue was three meters tall and looked very similar to a wizard, but it was so handsome that for a while, Rolf couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl.
The statue's hair was dotted with silvery dark gold, and its skin was crystal clear and radiant, like a gem.
The creature was also wearing a robe, with countless words engraved on its surface. The words were like golden rivers, exuding a holy atmosphere.
Luo Fe looked at the statue and was a little stunned for a moment.
He went to Azkaban last year and saw a creature emerging from the lake where the Dementors were born.
After the creature left the lake, its body quickly rancid and decayed, and it soon turned into the dementor that Rolf was familiar with.
The statue in front of me is exactly the same as the dementor when it came out of the water!
Shirley glanced at the statue, a look of suspicion flashed in her beautiful eyes. She looked at the young man and whispered:
"Rolf, don't you think this statue looks a lot like the Magic Brothers Fountain?"
The Magic Brothers Fountain is a fountain located in the main hall of the Ministry of Magic, with a set of solid gold statues erected on it:
The tallest one was a handsome wizard, who raised his wand and pointed it straight at the sky. Surrounding him were a witch, a centaur, a goblin and a house elf.
Centaurs, goblins and house elves all looked up at the witches and wizards with admiration.
After what Shirley said, Rolf also felt that the theme of the statue in front of him was very similar to the magic fountain.
However, the revered existence changed from wizard to "dementor", and wizard took the place of house elf.
Could it be that the Magic Fountain at the Ministry of Magic is modeled after the statue in front of you?
Luo Fu wanted to say something else, but the lock of the black leather suitcase in his hand suddenly popped open.
A magical creature emerged from the box. It had silver-gray thin scales and nine tails at the end of its abdomen, like a fish.
The silverfish raised by Ravenclaw took a deep breath, his face was full of intoxication, as if... he was back home.
