Cardcaptor at Hogwarts

Chapter 293 Returned Egyptian Antiquities

"Where is the nearest office here?"

Traveling all the way to Fuzhou, after eating the authentic Juchun Garden Buddha Jumping over the Wall, Adam looked at Yun Jinshu and asked.

"Are you going back?"

As Yun Jinshu spoke, he pushed the bowl of noodles, which was still a full bowl after half an hour of eating, in front of Yun Yanhui without leaving any trace.

"Well, I have some things to deal with. It won't take long."

Adam nodded. Eugene had already contacted him with the double-sided mirror. Bernard's trial was over, and the next target was Gringotts.

We are still far away from that place, and Adam's heart is still a little uncertain. He feels inexplicably more and more timid about being close to home. He wants to do something else in the middle to reset his mood.

"Okay, let's set off now."

"Don't waste food."

Yun Yan pulled back Yun Jinshu who stood up and was about to run away, then turned to look at the waiter:

"Please pack this bowl of noodles for him."

Yunjinshu:! ! !

Regardless of the two living treasures, Adam came to the office's station next to the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys. The people in the office had already been prepared here.

"I don't know how long this trip will take. I will use this double-sided mirror to contact you before I come back."

Adam handed a double-sided mirror to Yun Yan and then disappeared directly.

Reappearing, Adam had arrived at the conference room of the British Ministry of Magic. A meeting had just been held here, and only Eugene and Bernard were left here.

"What should I say? When will we start taking action?"

Pulling out a chair and sitting down, Adam's voice startled both Eugene and Bernard who were staring at the documents.

"I'll go! Why didn't you say hello when you came?"

Bernard patted his chest, then waved the document on his hand:

"Don't just keep talking. The judgment and calculation of property losses have just been completed. Even if we want to take action, we have to wait until we notify Gringotts to collect the assets involved, and then Gringotts refuses. It’s easy for us to take action.”

"It's a matter of time."

Adam shrugged, and Eugene nodded in agreement:

"Obviously, doing this will inevitably lead to resistance from Gringotts. After all, Gringotts' main focus is asset security. The ownerless property after the magic contract expires is a considerable source of funds for Gringotts."

Bernard snapped his fingers:

"This is another Gringotts crime, embezzling the client's property without permission."

"Do you need to find out more about the charges against those goblins? With their greed, are you afraid that they will be innocent if you press Anubis's scale?"

Adam didn't understand that Bernard needed to worry about Gringotts Goblin's crimes.

"Even so, no crime can be omitted."

Bernard insisted.

"Okay... Speaking of Anubis's scales, what does Uther say?"

Adam looked at Eugene.

The collections in those museums were not only stolen from the Chinese family, but also a considerable part of them were stolen from Egypt. For these cultural relics, their idea was to see if Uther wanted them, and if so, Adam would send them to him.

Although the mummy was almost eaten, there was still a lot of gold coffin, gold mask and so on.

"Hmm... Uther said that if he insists on taking those things to Egypt, it's not impossible."

Eugene said with a subtle expression after recalling for a moment.

"Huh? What does this mean? Do you want it or not?"

Adam's eyes widened.

"Why don't you go and ask yourself?"

There was nothing Eugene could do. Uther seemed not to want to say too much to him in this regard. It might be related to the internal secrets of the Egyptian Ministry of Magic.

"...Okay, I'll go to Egypt to ask him. Remember to call me before the fight starts~"

After Adam finished speaking, he disappeared.

"Uther~ Do you want your ancestor's coffin?"

Adam appeared directly at the door of Uther's room, raised his hand and knocked on the door while speaking.

"Adam?"

After a while, Uther's vague voice came from the room, and then there was a sound of slippers slapping the ground. Uther rubbed his eyes and opened the door.

"Wow~"

Adam looked at Uther with a sleepy face and the dark brightness in the room and shook his head:

"It's already past three in the afternoon, are you still sleeping?"

"Although I don't know which time zone you just came from, I still want to correct you..."

Uther drew his wand in the air, and the golden thread outlined the current time—Egyptian time—

"It's just past six in the morning."

"Uh...well, Cairo is the East Second District, my bad."

Adam coughed awkwardly,

"Then do you want to sleep a little longer now?"

"Forget it, I'm already awake..."

Although he said this, Uther still yawned and turned around and entered the room. He turned on the light, put on a coat and sat back on the bed:

"What do you want from me?"

"Well, it's actually nothing. It's mainly about your cultural relics..."

Adam sat on the other half of the bed without any courtesy and looked at Uther doubtfully:

"Why does it sound like you don't really want to get those cultural relics back from your reply to Eugene?"

"Well, on the one hand, the curses on those things are very troublesome. After we get them back, we have to go through a lot of complicated procedures, but if we put them in the UK, there will be no problem."

Uther grabbed his hair and answered casually:

"It's too far from the Nile River, and it has lost the magic rooted in this land. Those curses are just things that may make people sick in Britain."

"Is this curse also regional?"

"Of course, the Pharaoh at that time didn't think that someone would go thousands of miles to dig up his tomb just to take his coffins back, right?"

Uther said as a matter of course.

Adam thought about it and it was right. From the perspective of the Pharaoh, what he valued most was of course the land he ruled and his rights. How could someone who could dig up his tomb just for that little bit of gold?

"So how were those Pharaoh's tombs dug up?"

"At the beginning, those people found that it was easy to get into trouble if people dug directly, and if it didn't work to fill it with lives, they would use heavy machines to dig and bombard it."

Uther recalled:

"According to records, the people in the Ministry of Magic were very angry at the time. They wanted to say who was so ignorant of the rules and wanted to stop it. Unexpectedly, they found that it was a group of Muggles, and they wanted to take those things away..."

Without Uther continuing to say, Adam knew what happened later from his memory and his own guesses.

British Muggle: There is a treasure underground! I'll dig and dig!

Egyptian wizard: Oh my god, these idiots, foreign friends are willing to take away these curses at the cost of their own safety, please help!

So with the help of the Egyptian Ministry of Magic, the British expedition team took batches of Egyptian cultural relics out of Egypt and sent them to the UK.

"We have already taken out the truly valuable ones, and the remaining ones are all negative assets - the cost of washing away the curse is higher than the value of the item itself. We are so happy that someone has taken over."

Uther spread his hands:

"So when you asked me what I thought of the cultural relics in the museum, I said it was not a bad thing for us."

"I see~"

Adam nodded:

"Then leave those cultural relics in the UK."

It just so happens that rebuilding the museum should be able to raise the exchange rate of the pound, and he will make a small profit.

"Well, is there anything else?"

Uther's eyelids are already unable to hold up.

"Well... Actually, I brought you some Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, but you..."

Adam looked at Uther who looked very sleepy and said hesitantly.

"Give me two minutes to wash up!"

Uther Apparated and disappeared on the bed.

Adam thought that Uther could eat after he woke up:?
