Chapter 1124 “Harvest”

Iron is insoluble in mercury. In the Big Bang, only three elements were synthesized, about 75% hydrogen, 25% helium, and most of the rest was lithium, which did not contain mercury.

Theoretically, elements with a mass higher than iron should be produced after massive supernova explosions, and the same should be true for mercury.

Although gold is noble, it does not have the ability to absorb many metals like mercury.

If you put pure mercury into a dichromate solution and touch it with a rust-free iron nail, it will form a miraculous reaction like a heartbeat.

This phenomenon is called "mercury heartbeat" and is caused by the superposition of the metal's reduction reaction and the liquid's tension change.

Now the "sun gold" is beating in the air like mercury with a "heartbeat".

It can leave the treasure room on its own and even move around in the atrium surrounded by colonnades and in the yard behind the atrium.

When Pomona saw the yard for the first time, she was so shocked that she had no words to describe her feelings.

It's not particularly big, about two-thirds the size of Anfield, but in the courtyard there is a pool filled with a mercury-like substance, with a tree in the center of the pool.

The "Sun Gold" was flying around it, and the scene was very magical, reminding her of the legendary hibiscus tree in the East and the sunbird living on it.

Every day the ten suns take turns driving their chariots away from the eastern sea to perform their duties.

However, one day they planned to break this rule and appeared together in the sky on the 10th.

The earth became dry and the weather was extremely hot. A hero named Hou Yi shot nine suns with his bow and arrow, leaving only one.

In order to reward his achievements, the gods gave him a bottle of elixir, but the bottle of elixir was eaten by Hou Yi's wife Chang'e, and then she floated to the moon and lived in Guanghan Palace.

In addition to sun gold, there is also a dark gold bow in the treasure room, and Severus is currently holding it and looking at it.

The pool with the sculpture of Hades should have cast a spell such as the Thought Acceptance Curse. Severus was proud of his performance in the fifth floor of the maze. After all, not everyone can hit those with the wandless and silent confusion spell in the dark.

An extremely fast hidden arrow.

However, to a wand-wielding wizard, what good is a bow?

I'm afraid I have to leave this to Severus himself to think about, now Pomona's problem is how to trick that bad-tempered "Sun Gold" into the bottle.

There is a story about Aladdin's magic lamp in the Middle East. The genie of the genie promised Aladdin to fulfill his three wishes. The genie of the genie might be the devil who was tricked into the lamp by a cunning wizard just like "Sun Gold".

It’s not surprising that the devil was deceived. There was a devil in Venice who was deceived by a witch and is still waiting for her to fulfill her contract by the bridge.

A "whoosh" sound.

A cloud of gas was shot from the bow, looking like an arrow had been shot.

Instead of being attracted by gravity to form a parabola like a solid arrow, it went straight forward and finally hit a sculpture in the courtyard.

"What are you doing?" Pomona glared at the old bat.

"Try it," he said, holding up his new toy. "I just tried using it as a wand to imbue it with magic."

"Then what?" Pomona asked.

"You see." Severus said, looking at the sculpture in the distance, "I can't shoot that far with a wand, and the power is not compromised at all."

"Looks like you got a nice treasure."

Severus looked clearly unhappy.

"Wizards in the Middle Ages are like this, look at Nadia." Pomona gestured to Severus to look at the two people in the atrium. "One hand holds a sword and the other hand holds a wand. This bow can replace the wand...

…”

"I don't think carrying a bow on the street will not attract attention!" Severus said angrily.

Pomona didn't bother to pay attention to him.

She looked at the "Sun Gold" dancing on the "sea" and continued to worry.

Not long after, Xenophilius also came out of the treasure room. He first glanced at Pomona, then at Nadia and "Lyle", and finally chose to walk towards them.

The treasure he chose was less eye-catching than Severus's.

"A stone?" Severus frowned as he looked at the thing in Xenophilius' hand.

"Don't forget that the Resurrection Stone is also a stone." Pomona said indifferently, "Gemstones are also hidden in ore stones. There is also a sapphire on Rowena Ravenclaw's tiara."

"You think that gem is natural?" Severus asked with a smirk.

"The gem is not as magical as the magic stone, but it is still magical!" Pomona argued, "Don't forget those gems used in the Hogwarts defense array. Every time they use up their energy, they will turn into ashes.

"

Pomona was reminded of the Bloody Balor, who chased the audacious Draco throughout the school.

Although Draco was not stabbed to death by Barrow's knife, he was severely beaten by Lucius. Even when Lucius took him to Diagon Alley to buy textbooks, the relationship between the father and son was very tense.

Narcissa spoiled Draco rotten. Draco had never been spanked since he was a child, although Lucius only spanked Draco two or three times.

In a sense, Lucius and Arthur are similar. Arthur has a good temper. Fred really made Arthur angry when he tricked Ron into making an unbreakable vow.

Lucius was used to pretentiousness, and he felt that it was not elegant to do so. However, wizards had to use wands to "fight", and it was precisely because of this that his strength was not ranked high among the Death Eaters.

"What do you think the Dark Lord would want?" Pomona asked. "A new wand?"

Severus was so focused on playing with the bow that he didn't seem to hear her question.

Pomona wouldn't ask a second time.

There is no harm without comparison. Maybe the treasure Voldemort got is not the best, but it is closest to his heart, and "the best" may not make him so satisfied.

"I'm sorry for what I said before," Pomona said. "I shouldn't have said that about Lily."

"Do you think now is a good time to say this?" He put down the bow and threw it into the shape-shifting lizard skin pocket.

"I don't know." She frowned depressedly, "I just feel that if I don't take advantage of it now, I will miss the best opportunity."

"Do you want me to forgive you?" Severus asked enigmatically.

"What did I do wrong?" she asked.

Now Severus was angry.

"You can't forget her!" Pomona said accusingly. "Do you know how hard it is to tolerate having another woman in your heart?"

The most important thing is that Lily has forgotten him, but he is still paying for her, even if she is dead.

"I hate Lily." She stared into Severus's eyes and said, "You have turned me into someone like Petunia. Are you satisfied now?"

The perfect Lily is very unpopular with women of the same age because she is so good in every aspect.

"Are you jealous of her?" His eyes were shining and there was a weird smile on his face.

"Jealousy is human nature." Pomona said, pretending not to care.

"You are jealous of her." He repeated the same words, but in a different tone.

"I will not suppress my nature like Remus." Pomona looked into his eyes and said.

From a young age, both parents and teachers have taught children that it is not good to be jealous of others because they are excellent.

In order to prevent themselves from appearing disrespectful in front of others, children still have to pretend that they are not jealous even if they are obviously jealous.

This approach uses morality to drive "natural evil" into the root of the tree, that is, under the body.

If the root is broken, what good fruit can still grow?

Even Hera, the queen of heaven, could not escape the torture of jealousy, but men asked women not to be jealous for their own purposes.

The young mistresses of Louis XV were provocative in front of Jeanne, but Jeanne was indifferent to those who would soon disappear from the king's side.

She really didn't feel jealous anymore, because she didn't love Louis XV that much. She also had Rococo and Salon, and maintaining these requires money. Is this a life that men envy?

Severus was so happy now that she thought it would be a good time to say something else.

"There was once a young man," she whispered. "He had no money to study, so he made a deal with the monster in the bottle. The devil gave him a magic piece of cloth. With it, he could get a lot of wealth, and his personal worries disappeared.

But the devil he let go is doing evil everywhere..."

"Shh." He put his hand on her lips, "Don't let her hear you."

Pomona looked at the "Sun Gold" in the distance, which was too far away for humans to hear.

"It said it could help me realize a wish." She said tremblingly, "For a moment, I hoped it could delete Lily from your mind."

"Stop talking." Severus pressed the back of her head, "Be careful if she takes it seriously."

"We were wrong from the beginning. We are all sinners."

"I told you, neither of us are good people." He said expressionlessly, "I am a sinner, and so are you."

She could not say that Severus Snape had not committed any crime.

"That thing, I think it should be the power source of this maze." Severus looked at Sun Gold in the distance and said, "Without it, this maze cannot continue to support it. It should not appear easily. I

I was thinking about something related to bows before, tell me, what were you thinking about before?"

She didn't know how to speak.

"Forget it, even if you don't tell me, I know what complicated problems your mind can think of."

"You called me stupid again." She muttered depressedly.
