Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Clark was still there looking at the broken Sphinx with emotion. The Weasley family beside him had already taken photos with scissor hands.

"Okay, everyone has finished taking photos, then we will go down."

Bill greeted the Arab and asked the Arab to lower the flying carpet, and then took them to ride camels like Muggles. Finally, a group of people stood in front of the pyramid and took a group photo. This will have to be handed over to "Prophecy" Daily News" and let them publish publicity.

However, no one noticed that while taking the photo, Clark also took out a mouse with one missing toe from his pocket and placed it in the palm of his hand.

If Ron had seen it, he would have discovered that it was Scabbers, the pet mouse he had raised before, but he had forgotten about this little guy when Clark gave him an owl as a gift for Christmas.

However, Clark has not forgotten this cunning guy named Peter Pettigrew. As a friend of Harry's father, he plays an important role throughout the plots of the subsequent original works. After Clark got the mouse he turned into, he gave him a sleeping potion early.

What awaits him later is to be locked in a cage and enjoy the psychic powers that Clark tests on him.

And after raising him for so long, now it's time for him to play his role. It's up to him whether he can lure Sirius out.

Clark let Peter show his face in the photo and put him back in his pocket.

As for worrying about him escaping?

nonexistent!

Before coming out, he poured double the amount of Living Hell Decoction into this guy, ensuring that Peter wouldn't wake up for several days.

After doing this, Bill took them to the entrance of the pyramid.

"You must have felt it just now. The aura of space attached to these pyramids is almost harder than steel."

Bill said as he walked.

"Because of this special space aura, any spells involving space, such as Apparition, Portkeys, and Traceless Stretch Spells, etc., will not work inside the pyramid.

So if you carry some precious space equipment with you, it is best to take it out and store it quickly. "

He glanced at Clark before continuing.

“Not only that, this space breath also brings a strong protective effect to the pyramid.

Unless you want to be like those Muggles and just look at the shell of the pyramid.

Otherwise, only by breaking through this space barrier can we reach the real interior of the pyramid. "

"The real inside of the pyramid?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Yes." Bill nodded.

At this time, a group of them had arrived behind the Sphinx, where Egyptian wizards dug a tunnel that led directly to the bottom of the pyramid and covered it with magic to prevent Muggles from seeing it.

"Since the entire pyramid is surrounded by structurally stable space barriers, we can only open a hole from the bottom and get in."

Bill gave the Egyptian wizard guarding the door a gold galleon, but the guy counted their numbers and shook his head at Bill.

Bill had no choice but to explain, "I am the Curse Breaker of Gringotts, an internal employee! An internal employee!"

But the Egyptian wizard didn't seem to understand what he said, or he pretended not to understand what he said. Anyway, he just blocked them outside and shook his head desperately.

"These greedy guys are simply hopeless." Bill complained in a low voice about the Egyptian wizard's arrogant behavior, and finally had no choice but to take out five silver coins and hand them to the other party.

After receiving the money, the Egyptian wizard stepped aside and let Clark and the others in.

Not long after walking along a two-meter-high tunnel, everyone arrived at the bottom of the pyramid.

Above their heads, a circular hole was drilled in the center of the large rock of the pyramid for adults to pass through. On the edge of the hole, there was a golden circle engraved with hieroglyphs, which opened up the space of the pyramid. barrier.

"Before entering the pyramids, I have to remind you that even after so many years of research, we still dare not say that we have a complete grasp of the conditions inside these pyramids."

Bill warned them, especially brothers George and Fred. In his mind, these two brothers were the least troublesome.

“These pyramids have complex internal structures, and were blessed with powerful space magic by the ancient Egyptian priests, making them even larger inside than they look on the outside.

Layers of spaces, portals, walls and passages together form a huge magical maze. "

In addition to the tomb chambers and passages that have been opened to Muggles, there are also many secret rooms that have not been cracked, and there are an unimaginable number of vicious curses in the rooms.

Due to cost-effectiveness reasons, the progress of cracking those curses is slow.

A few years ago, we discovered a room above the Queen's tomb in the Pyramid of Khufu. There were many weird-looking skeletons in it, all left by Muggles who accidentally entered it.

That room was very scary. Several of my colleagues ventured in to check, and suddenly several extra heads sprouted..."

Bill said in a terrifying tone, which made Mrs. Weasley hold Ginny's little hand tightly for fear that she would get lost.

Ron was also very worried and subconsciously moved closer to Clark, Neville and Hermione.

As for whether the two twin brothers George and Fred listened, it is unknown. Anyway, they still had the same cheerful expression on their faces.

The group of people drilled through the circular hole in the boulder and entered the interior of the pyramid.

Inside is a very small rectangular stone chamber, only big enough for two or three people to stay inside. It should be that the person who entered here first broke off a huge stone and created such a space.

"Everyone, follow me. The road with torches is safe."

Bill led the way, and then Mrs. Weasley led Ginny.

Clark hunched over and followed Percy through a narrow tunnel that seemed to gradually slope downwards.

Hermione and Neville followed him, with Mr. Weasley at the rear.

The floor of the pyramid was soft and covered with sand, almost covering Clark's feet. The air was dry and cool, and he could even feel wisps of breeze blowing across his face. .

"The walls are made of granite," said Mr. Weasley, tapping his wand on the low ceiling. "All the tunnels are paved with limestone."

This action seemed to be contagious, and everyone couldn't help but touch the surrounding walls with their hands or wands.

When Bill saw their behavior, he couldn't help but cough slightly, "These bricks and stones are also ancient cultural relics, so it's best not to touch them."

Everyone retracted their palms in disbelief.

This is the side Ron saw walking to. There was a gap blocked by a seal with "No Entry" written on it. It was pitch black inside.

"What's here?" Ron curiously reached up to his neck and looked into the gap.

Bill quickly grabbed him and said, "This is an unknown room that we have not explored yet. There are usually great hidden dangers inside, so entry is prohibited."

Before he finished speaking, a strange noise suddenly came from the gap.

Bill reacted quickly. As soon as he heard the movement, he almost immediately raised his wand and pointed at the gap.

Then others made the same move.

"What's going on!" Ron asked nervously, standing behind Mr. Weasley.

Bill shook his head and said he didn't know.

With a rustling sound, two miserable-looking African wizards emerged from the shadows of the gap.

The clothes they were wearing were in tatters, and one person's left leg was swollen as thick as an elephant. Through the transparent skin, you could still see the green pus underneath, dragging a long trace on the ground. .

The other person's arm was also broken at the elbow. Looking at the cross section, it looked like it had been chopped by something very sharp. The wound was very smooth and flat. Even without a bandage, not a drop of blood flowed out, just like his The arm itself looks like this.

But even with such serious injuries, when the two dark-skinned African wizards saw Clark and others, they raised their wands nervously and pointed at them.

No one on either side spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. In the end, Bill waved his hand back, motioning for the family to come to the passage and make way for them.

The two African wizards held their wands in their hands, facing them all the time, dragging their feet slowly, retreating towards the exit bit by bit.

When they couldn't see each other, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, this is so exciting!" George couldn't help but said as he watched the two people retreating.

Bill put down his wand at this time and immediately scolded him after hearing his words.

"Exciting? This is not the UK. Those African wizards who came to Egypt to explore are outright desperadoes. If there weren't so many of us, they would definitely dare to take action.

Next time you see explorers like them coming out of the ruins, run as fast as you can. You hear me, they don't care about anything and they are innocent! "

Clark nodded in agreement, knowing that what he said was based on experience.

In that situation, you didn't know if the other person had any treasure found in the ruins, and the other person didn't know whether you were just passing by or following you.

Therefore, in a tense mental state, these desperadoes would really kill without saying a word. After all, they did not dare to bet that they met a good person.

At this time, Ron didn't seem to have reacted, and asked Bill, "Didn't you say those rooms can't be entered?"

Bill glanced at his brother, seemingly speechless at his naivety.

"These places are indeed dangerous, but it also means that our Gringotts curse breakers have never been inside.

Therefore, many wizards who hope to gain powerful power or valuable wealth choose to venture into it. "

When he saw Ron open his mouth, he guessed what he wanted to ask and spoke before he could speak.

"The Egyptian Ministry of Magic doesn't care about this kind of thing.

Unlike the British wizarding world, the power of the Egyptian Ministry of Magic is not that great, or in other words, their strength is not strong. It can only be regarded as a loose alliance of interests and has no ability to manage it.

In addition, there are too many ancient ruins in Egypt. Various large and small pyramids, temples, and secret realms left behind by the death of gods are all buried in the rolling yellow sand.

We are currently involved in excavation and exploration of hundreds of them, and we don’t know how many more have not yet been discovered. "

Bill said, shrugging.

"In this case, it is simply impossible to explore with the power of the Egyptian Ministry of Magic, and there is no way to provide protection. The phenomenon of illegal excavation is very common here. This is the main reason why they have to cooperate with Gringotts. .

Moreover, the Egyptian Ministry of Magic here, like their local Muggle government, is also corrupt.

Behind these poachers, there is also a very complex chain of interests, and even organized criminal gangs have formed.

So the current situation is that if you can't control it, then don't care.

All wizards who come to Egypt, as long as they register with the local Ministry of Magic, regardless of their previous status, can become a legal explorer and explore and excavate these magical relics.

Of course, no restraint means no protection and no rules.

The wealth and knowledge you discover during your adventure will not be officially protected or endorsed.

In the process of robbery, theft, betrayal, killing and other vicious incidents, as long as they are not seen in person, the official will not punish the murderer.

Of course, if you really find something in the ruins, remember to pay tax to the Egyptian Ministry of Magic.

If you take it out of the customs without paying taxes, it will be regarded as smuggling and stealing cultural relics. Once discovered, it will be a felony! "

"If we really find something good, who would hand it over?"

When Fred heard Bill's words, he curled his lips in disdain.

Bill nodded, "That's true. In fact, I don't recommend that you hand it over. The Ministry of Magic officials here are not good people. They often embezzle the harvest of explorers. "

At this time, the group of people had walked out of the low path and truly entered the interior of the pyramid.

Everything in front of him suddenly became wider. The tomb passage here could at least accommodate two carriages passing side by side, and the high dome was decorated with beautiful patterns.

They walked along the road and headed deeper into the pyramid while listening to Bill introduce the relevant information inside.

"This mural records the great achievements of Pharaoh Khufu, the owner of this pyramid."

"Be careful, don't touch the scarabs embedded in the wall. They are not gems, they are real carnivorous beetles inside, but they are just sealed.

Once someone is greedy enough to pry them off and put them in their pocket, they will wake up, burrow into the body of the tomb robber, and devour their flesh and blood. "

"George, I told you, don't go near sealed places, don't make me say it a third time..."

In this way, with Bill's detailed introduction, they visited all the places where the pyramid can be visited, and also saw many mysterious and ancient strange sights.
