Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Chapter 1 Arriving in Cairo

Cairo, the capital of Egypt, the shining pearl on the Nile, is one of the oldest cities in human history.

The ancient Egyptians called it "Mother of Cities", while the Arabs called it "Kahel", which means conqueror or victor.

As a city with a history of five thousand years, it is longer than the history of civilization of most races in the world.

The regular flooding of the Nile not only created the mysterious ancient civilization of ancient Egypt, but also shaped the ancient city on the Nile.

Today, as the largest city in Africa, it is also the political, economic and commercial center of the entire Middle East.

The unique dry climate has completely preserved the ancient relics of the city. The arrival of the new millennium has also added many new modern buildings to the city.

Donkeys and subways, opera houses and shantytowns, the history is mixed and alternate here, the ancient and the modern are organically integrated here, maybe there are still miniatures of old Cairo and the remnants of ancient Cairo, but it is not harmful, the wheels of history still carry this city A famous city, moving towards a more modernized and internationalized road.

For example, Cairo International Airport.

"ladies and gentlemen:

Your flight has landed at Cairo International Airport, the temperature outside is 42 degrees Celsius, and the plane is taxiing. For the safety of you and others, please do not stand up or open the luggage rack.

After the plane has come to a complete stop, please unbuckle your seat belt, organize your belongings and prepare to get off the plane.

Please pay attention to safety when picking up items from the luggage rack. Please collect your checked luggage at the baggage claim area. Passengers who need to transfer planes to other places at this station should go to the special counter in the waiting room.

Thank you for choosing EgyptAir flights! See you next time on the road! "

The crisp and pleasant announcement sounded in the airport, and the taxiing plane finally stopped.

This time, Clark and the others did not fly in first class.

It's not that he can't afford a lift, it's just that he, Hermione, and Neville, plus the Weasley family of seven, make a total of ten people, and EgyptAir's first-class plane doesn't have so many empty seats , Instead of being divided into two groups, it is better to fly business class together.

Fortunately, wizards are not very picky about enjoying this kind of thing. Even for the Weasley family, the matter of flying alone has surprised them, at least for Mr. Weasley. so.

If it wasn't at home before,

Aunt Molly told him ten thousand times, and now he is probably still holding the hand of the flight attendant and asking questions.

After getting off the plane, it was like entering a sauna.

As the flight attendant has just reported, Cairo is located at the southern end of the Nile Delta. Here is a typical subtropical desert climate. Now it is summer again, and the local average temperature can reach more than 40 degrees.

Perhaps for British wizards, when it comes to Egypt and Cairo, most people first think of camels, yellow sand, flying carpets, disappeared ancient Egyptian gods and pyramids full of weird curses.

However, when Clark got off the plane, the first thing he felt here was how hot it was!

That kind of heat is not a hot temperature in the conventional sense, but a dry heat that sprouts from the heart.

The heat wave coming from the pavement, the dazzling sun, the barren sand, the noisy sounds and strange smells around.

All kinds of scenes are intertwined. Even the high-level wizard robe on his body has the function of regulating the temperature of the body surface. After staying in this environment for a while, Clark feels his lips are dry, and the fine beads of sweat are even more uncontrollable. dripped down his cheeks.

"Mom, I'm a little thirsty!"

Ginny, who had just got off the plane, lightly poked Mrs. Weasley's waist, which made her even more irritated.

"Didn't you just drink water before you got off the plane? Hold on! This is the Muggle world, I can't conjure water for you."

Mrs. Weasley's scolding made Ginny pouted in dissatisfaction, but her attitude was understandable.

This is not only because of the hot weather, but also because she has to take care of several children to prevent them from getting lost in this foreign country.

Especially the two twin brothers, George and Fred, ran around in the crowd as soon as they got off the plane, causing a lot of confusion.

"Percy, you are optimistic about Ron...George, Fred, you two hurry up! Can't you learn from Clark?"

Hearing Mrs. Weasley's slightly ferocious roar, Clark shook his head helplessly.

And beside him, even after the bumpy journey, Hermione was still in high spirits. On the contrary, Neville followed Clark step by step, as steady as a bodyguard.

"I did a little strategy before!"

While they were waiting in line to go through the security check, Hermione happily took out a notebook from her backpack and handed it to him.

"I've listed all the sights worth visiting around Cairo, it's an archaeologist's paradise..."

"It looks pretty good!" Clark looked at the densely packed place names and brief introductions in the notebook, which showed that Hermione had put a lot of effort into this trip.

"Of course we can't go everywhere, can we? But there are a few places I think it's worth seeing, such as the Great Pyramid, Gringotts, the Nile Dam, the Egyptian Museum and..."

Hermione took the trouble to tell Clark about the various scenic spots and customs of Cairo she had read from the book.

On the plane just now, through the porthole, they saw the miraculous pyramids next to the city.

On the outskirts of Cairo, on the plains full of yellow sand, the stone mausoleums of ancient Egyptian emperors are majestic and majestic, standing steadily, showing the majesty of the tomb owners to tourists from all over the world.

In the eyes of wizards like Clark, even if they were far away, the powerful magic aura emanating from the pyramid still made people tremble.

"It is said that in those pyramids, there are powerful curses left by the pharaohs. It must be very ancient and rare magic."

Hermione spoke nervously and excitedly, but her words seemed to arouse the interest of a tourist behind the two.

"Little sister, the rumors of the so-called 'Pharaoh's Curse' originated from the fact that in 1922, when British archaeologist Howard Carter was excavating the tomb of Pharaoh Tutkhamun, he found that the epitaph read 'Whoever interferes Pharaoh's peace, death will come on his head' this sentence.

After that, with the opening of this mausoleum, disasters occurred one after another. At that time, 21 people who were directly or indirectly involved in the excavation work died one after another.

Such a weird event, coupled with the exaggerated exaggeration of various movies, TV and novels, made the "Pharaoh's Curse" more and more evil.

That's why the 'curse' that has only been passed down for decades, but where is the very ancient and rare magic? "

Such a Muggle rebuttal made Hermione and Clark realize that they are not in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry now. It's best not to talk about this kind of chat related to the magical world.

The two turned their heads almost subconsciously, and then they saw a beautiful "big" sister.

"Julie!"

Clark almost blurted out.
