Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Chapter 4 Hamna Tower, the Legend of Gods and Ghosts

“Although wizards from all over the world often came here to visit the magical ruins of ancient Egypt, the rooms in our hotel are usually only 60% full.

After all, this is the hottest period of time, so it is not suitable for traveling.

But there are so many guests coming to our hotel this summer. If you hadn't booked the room in advance, hey, I'm afraid you would have to go out and turn left to go to the shabby hotel run by the local wizard.

I'm not bragging, you can't find a better accommodation environment than our Sun God Hotel in Cairo.

Those sloppy Egyptian wizards..."

Fairy Qilis kept chattering without stopping, and quickly led them to the door of the room.

"Please come in."

He opened the door with the key, and as soon as he entered, everyone knew why Bill only opened two rooms.

This room turned out to be a huge suite, with not only three bedrooms and one living room, but also a kitchen and a long balcony that could see the Nile River.

A large amount of sunlight poured into the room from the balcony, but it did not bring any burning feeling.

A slight cool breeze swirled in the living room, making everyone sigh in relief.

"It must be magic that can regulate the temperature!" Ron swore to Clark.

"Dear guests, the other room is next to yours."

Ziris took out the key to the room, counted the number of people, and then stretched out his long and slender finger to point on the key.

Then, the two keys were like a hen laying eggs, splitting into several keys of the same shape.

The goblin handed the key to Bill, turned around and prepared to leave.

But at this time, Ginny, who had just been a part-time reporter for a few days last semester, suffered from an occupational disease and quickly asked the goblin.

"But why? Why are there more wizards coming to Egypt???"??

Faced with Ginny's question, the elf Qilis did not answer directly.

"Miss, there are many guests in the hotel now. If you don't have anything urgent to do, why should I be busy here?"

Ginny felt deflated on the other's body,

It’s not good to continue to stop the other party and ask questions.

But Clark guessed it when he looked at the face full of cunning temperament of the goblin Qilis and the big eyes staring at him.

The other party said what they just said in front of them. He liked to talk too much, but more importantly, he was fishing.

Although the names are different, in Clark's memory, the images of these goblins are 89% similar to those of the goblins in Faerun.

In Faerun, these guys are greedy and smart creatures.

They have very outstanding minds in business and mechanics, and some talented goblins can even master the ability to use high-level arcana.

In ancient times, under the guidance of the Goblin God, they created an amazing steam alchemy civilization.

However, the shortcomings of these goblins are also very prominent. They are only interested in profit, and like Grandet, they have got into the eyes of money.

Even if they have great strength, they are often more keen to use this ability to protect their wealth.

Therefore, as long as they are willing to pay, they will work for anyone, and they will not hesitate to stab their own people in the back.

Fortunately, even though there is no money to be extracted and oil is squeezed out from the cracks in the rocks, most goblins are still trustworthy.

And it should be noted that goblins are also one of the few races that will not be disturbed by the basic attribute of "charm".

And they are highly resistant to psychic spells, especially when money is involved.

Legend has it that not even the Mind Flayer can make a goblin willingly hand over his wealth.

Therefore, the only thing that can affect their senses and favorability is only one thing, and that is money.

"Time is money, Mr. Ziris, I have always believed this, so in order to thank you for serving us just now, I decided to give you a little tip."

Although as a European and American, logically speaking, it is a tradition to tip the waiter, but it is different here with wizards.

To them, Muggles are lower than wizards, let alone goblins who are not even human beings?

So for those wizards, they rarely have the habit of tipping goblins or house elves.

When Ziris heard the word "tip", his two long pointed ears suddenly flashed twice.

Clark could even clearly see the down on the goblin waiter's ears standing up one by one.

Sure enough, although the world is different and the name is different, the race of goblins is no different from goblins.

"Yes, this is recognition of your dedicated service."

Clark handed him a Silver Sickle, then stretched out his right hand with two Silver Sickles in his palm.

"At the same time, I apologize for the fact that you are unable to serve other guests. Do you accept it?"

Clark's meaning was self-evident, and the effect was immediate.

"Accept! Accept!"

Ziris immediately took the two Silver Sickles from Clark's hand with a smile on his face, so fast that even Neville couldn't react in time.

"Actually, I have vaguely heard from the guests who stayed there. They said that there may be new ancient ruins appearing in the desert. What is it called...Hamna Tower, yes, that seems to be the name!"

"Hamna Tower! What is that place? Why did those wizards enter there? What are they looking for?"

Ron asked curiously, but the elf Qilis just shook his head.

“I don’t know that.

In the long history of more than 5,000 years, there are countless ancient ruins buried under the yellow sand of Egypt. I am just a waiter, how could I know this?

As for what they are looking for?

Probably taking a risk to see if there is any reward. This is a normal phenomenon in the Egyptian magic world. "

For the sake of Clark's two silver Sickles, Ziris said a few more words.

"Every time there is a new ruin or some kind of rumor, it always attracts a large number of people here. They are typical speculators and desperadoes who are only seeking profit."

Ginny and Ron were very disappointed, and Mrs. Weasley reminded them.

"We are here to travel to Egypt, but we are here to play some adventure games. You have to follow us obediently for this month and are not allowed to run around. Do you hear me?"

Bill nodded, agreeing with his mother.

"Yes, there are countless wizards who come to Egypt every year for so-called treasure hunting activities, but there are only a handful of them who can actually find the ruins, break the curse, and bring out the treasure.

Even Gringotts Cursebreakers like us need to be extremely careful when exploring those magical relics, so this is no joke.

I think you should have a good rest and have a big dinner in the evening. I will take you for a walk in Cairo tomorrow. "

After hearing his words, Ron and others, who were still a little eager to try, were disappointed.

However, Clark, Hermione, and Neville looked at each other vaguely, and only the twin brothers George and Fred saw this scene.

At this time, they arrived at the residence and began to allocate rooms.

As the only two girls in the team, Hermione, of course, lived in the same room as Ginny.

They shared a suite with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and Clark and Neville.

George and Fred, Ron and Percy, and Bill stayed in another suite.

After assigning rooms, Clark opened his magic suitcase and asked them to take out their luggage.

After all this trouble, after everything was settled, the fatigue of the journey completely broke out on everyone.

They didn't talk about what happened just now, and all returned to their rooms, ready to take a good rest.

However, when everyone fell silent, Hermione suddenly opened her door and sneaked into Clark and Neville's room next door.

She closed the door carefully, and when she turned around, she saw that Clark and Neville were not resting either.

The two of them were sitting cross-legged on the bed, closing their eyes and concentrating, as if they were meditating.

The other one was holding a dagger that shone with cold light, carefully wiping the sword body with deerskin and evenly applying sword oil.

Hermione just glanced at it and recognized that the dagger was the one Clark used to kill the troll in his first year.

"You're here."

Hearing the door closing, both Clark and Neville looked over.

"Well," Hermione greeted the two, and then looked at Clark, "You know Hamnata."

She said it in the affirmative, and Clark nodded as she expected.

After all, the movie called "The Mummy" (also known as "Legend of Gods and Ghosts/Tomb Raiders") was very impressive to him.

"Yes, I did see it in the book collection at home.

Hamnata, the legendary capital of the dead, the earthly kingdom of Osiris, the god of death.

There are the tombs of pharaohs throughout the ages, and countless priests have set many powerful curses to prevent ordinary people from finding them.

Of course, since it is the tomb of the pharaohs of the past, it naturally means that there are valuable funerary objects there, including various gold, jewelry, magic props, alchemical potions and even books recording precious knowledge. "

"So that's where we came to Egypt?" Hermione asked.

However, Clark shook his head, "I don't know either."

"What?"

Clark glanced at the two of them helplessly.

"The reason why I chose to come to Egypt is because when I resurrected Tom Riddle in the name of the [God of Wisdom, Knowledge and Magic], I sensed some strange fluctuations.

According to Tom Riddle's analysis, there are also directions of fluctuations. The most likely person to produce such a change is Thoth, the god of wisdom in ancient Egyptian mythology. "

"Hamna Tower is the earthly kingdom of Osiris, the god of the underworld, and has nothing to do with Thoth, the god of wisdom. It seems that this is just a coincidence." Hermione analyzed rationally.

But Clark had a different view.

If it were just the place name of Hamnata, he might not be sure that it was related to the plot of the first part of the movie "The Mummy".

After all, in the movie, the story takes place between World War I and World War II.

However, when he saw Lara Croft in "Tomb Raider" at the airport, combined with Cruella Deville in "Cruella" he met in France last summer, and he himself was The wizard in the Harry Potter series.

He could almost conclude that this world was probably not just an ordinary "Harry Potter" world, but maybe a mixed world mixed with various other movies.

It's just that the main body of this world is still dominated by "Harry Potter". After all, in today's extraordinary world on earth, wizards still occupy an absolutely dominant position.

And if Hamna Tower is really the capital of the dead in "The Mummy 1", then it means that the "Sun Sutra" and "The Black Sutra of the Dead" in the movie really exist.

When Clark was in first grade, he told Harry that it was possible for the dead to be resurrected. Unexpectedly, he now encountered a feasible method.

According to the plot in the movie, the "Black Book of the Dead" records various evil black magic, and can communicate with Anubis, the god of death, to summon the dead souls to return and resurrect them.

The Golden Book of the Sun is the scripture of the ancient Egyptian sun god Ra. It is said to record the secrets and divine spells of the Egyptian gods. Legend has it that it even has the power to resurrect the dead. It is a supreme treasure passed down from generation to generation by the ancient Egyptian high priests.

Therefore, whether it is to better enable Harry to embark on a suitable "path" in the future, or to obtain knowledge related to the gods of ancient Egypt, it is necessary for him to participate in the plot of "The Mummy".

"Anything involving gods is strange and mysterious." Clark said under the gaze of the two.

“When the elf mentioned Hamna Tower, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.

Besides, don’t you find it strange?

It was such a coincidence that we learned such important information involving wealth and power on the first day we arrived in Cairo. "

Clark's question made some sense. Hermione and Hermione hadn't reacted before, but after he reminded them, they felt something was wrong.

"So I believe that this is the destiny that is guiding us. Even the appearance of Hamna Tower is precisely because I borrowed the name of [God of Wisdom, Knowledge and Magic] to hold a ceremony not long ago. ."

"So we need to find the so-called 'City of the Dead'."

Neville's words were simple and clear. In his opinion, whoever Clark wanted to kill, he could just swing his sword.

"But we don't know where the Hamunata is. Is there any record of it in your book collection, Clark?" Hermione asked.

Of course Clark didn't know, after all, the movie didn't give detailed geographical coordinates.

Of course, he wouldn't tell Hermione and the others this.

"It's not written in the book at home, but now that this matter has attracted so many wizards, I think there will always be clues."

Speaking of this, Clark, for some reason, thought of the "big sister" with a ponytail.
