Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Chapter 20 Sirius, the power of nature

"It's the trade wind, the trade wind is coming!"

When the voodoo wizard saw the dark yellow curtain on the horizon in the distance, even though he was already immortal, he couldn't help but raise his tone.

When Hu Jianjun and Fatty Wang heard what he said, their expressions changed even more. They instantly remembered the frightening "black storm" they encountered in the desert in search of the legendary ancient city when they were young. .

"Run! Run!"

Fatty Wang shook the camel's reins vigorously, trying to urge them to find a safe place quickly. However, when he turned around, he found that Hu Jianjun was riding on the camel beside him and was not moving.

"Lao Hu, what are you doing? Come on, we'll all be buried in the desert if we're too late."

"It's useless," Hu Jianjun said in a dry voice, "Didn't you notice that unlike last time, there were no ancient city ruins that could provide shelter from the wind when we came here."

"Then just stand here and wait to die?" Fatty Wang shouted and wanted to run away first.

At this time, Clark asked Hu Jianjun very calmly: "Mr. Hu, you haven't said yet, how can we determine the position of Hamna Tower in this astrology?"

His calm voice seemed to have a strange magic power, which made Hu Jianjun, who was initially a little overwhelmed, gradually calm down his fear and said involuntarily:

"The time has not come yet, and the evil atmosphere here is still brewing, so I can't be sure yet. However, before coming, I also specifically checked the information related to ancient Egyptian astrology.

From these materials, I found that the ancient Egyptians had an extraordinary worship of Sirius. This star had a very important and sacred status in ancient Egypt..."

"Oh, you are a wolf and a dog-licker. Is this the time to talk about astrology and feng shui?"

Fatty Wang seemed to know that what Hu Jianjun just said was right. He and others might not be able to survive the storm. He was cursing while still trying to fight to death.

However, everyone ignored him. When Laura heard Hu Jianjun’s words, she remembered some historical materials related to ancient Egypt that she had read, so she explained:

"The reason why the ancient Egyptians worshiped Sirius is because every year around the summer solstice, that is, in late June, Sirius would appear on the eastern horizon before sunrise, and this time was also the beginning of the Nile River flooding season. .

Because of the flooding of this mother river of Egypt,

It brought the people of ancient Egypt fertile soil needed for subsequent farming and a subsequent bumper harvest, so in ancient Egypt, Sirius was regarded as the "lucky star".

Not only that, Isis, the most important goddess in ancient Egypt at that time, was also regarded as the incarnation of Sirius. Because she brought abundant products, Isis was especially worshiped by the ancient Egyptians and was regarded as For the great goddess.

All in all, in ancient Egyptian mythology, the appearance of Sirius before the sun rises is the beginning of "good days" and "new hope."

In other words, Sirius can also be regarded as the messenger or pioneer of the sun god.

Because of these unique symbolic meanings, in the ancient Egyptian calendar, the day when Sirius and the sun rose together in the early morning and the water level of the Nile River rose was regarded as New Year's Day - that is, a new beginning. "

Hearing Laura's words, Clark suddenly remembered Sirius in the original "Harry Potter", who is Harry Potter's godfather Black.

If we understand it based on ancient Egyptian astrology, as the godson of [Sirius], Harry Potter seems to be alluding to the [Sun God].

And this reference is consistent with him being the "new hope" of the human world and the "savior" of the new era.

Clark suddenly felt that he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, if this was not just a coincidence...

No, in mysticism, there is never any so-called coincidence. Even a little metaphor may be a gift from fate.

Inspired by spirituality, Clark's mind surged like a tide, and he began to think more profoundly, but Hu Jianjun was reminded by Laura's words.

"Yes! It's possible that it's Sirius. If we compare it to China's morning star...

It's dawn, it's dawn. At dawn, the direction pointed by Sirius is the direction of Hamna Tower. "

Hu Jianjun said happily, but Fatty Wang cursed loudly, "Fuck, who is still in the mood to find those Lao Shizi Ham and Tam now? Let's survive first!"

While they were talking, the sky that was so clear just now that one could see the stars seemed to darken in an instant.

The wind came so fast, and more and more fine sand was blown into the air by the wind. The camel team was surrounded by overwhelming sand and dust, and the visibility was getting lower and lower at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this time, Fatty Wang was still pulling the reins hard on the camel.

Perhaps it was because these big beasts also sensed the danger signal coming from the sky, and each of them seemed to be going crazy.

But even though they were irritated and scratching their hooves, they just stood there and did not run away.

"Are these beasts scared out of their wits?" Fatty Wang complained and got off the camel.

At this time, Clark suddenly ordered: "Everyone, please remove the supplies from the camels first and pile them in the middle to prevent the camels from getting lost with the supplies."

When he opened his mouth, Neville was the first to act, followed by the voodoo wizard, and Laura.

But Fatty Wang looked at him with wide eyes, "Move down? Aren't we going to run away?"

"We can't run away," Clark shook his head and helped Hermione unload water and food. "Besides, we still have to wait for dawn to determine the direction of Sirius."

"No, when did this happen? If we stay here like this, we will all die!"

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

However, Fatty Wang didn't seem to believe what Clark, a kid, said, so he turned around and encouraged Hu Jianjun to run away with him.

At this time, the wind was blowing more and more fiercely, and the sand was raging. The fine sand grains hit people's faces, and there was a dark yellow everywhere, making it almost impossible to see the surrounding situation clearly.

Clark and others had piled all the supplies on the camels together, and then they led a dozen camels to form a circle around the supplies.

These big guys seemed to be frightened and ran away. They obediently followed Clark's instructions and formed a circle, squatting on the ground and burying their heads in the sand.

Clark and the others had seen many camel bones along the way. When they died, they all remained in this posture, as if they were sinners receiving punishment.

"Is this the way you said, relying on a circle of camels?"

Fatty Wang looked at Clark's response, facing the strong wind, and shouted almost at the top of his lungs.

It's not that he couldn't see Clark's method, it was nothing more than using camels to form a circle to form a barrier to resist the wind and sand.

But in his opinion, this child obviously underestimated the power of nature.

In this case, let alone a dozen camels, even a boulder weighing several tons would be blown into the sky by the storm.

"Dead, dead, I'm really going to be killed by you little bastard this time!" Suddenly reaching the end of the road, Fatty Wang also felt very desperate.

He raised his head, and the strong wind carried sand into his mouth.

Through the dim moonlight in the sky, you can vaguely see that a yellow torrent is forming on the horizon, and the yellow sand on the earth is rolling like a majestic wave.

Although the "spray" was still a little far away from them, looking at the trend, the next storm must have enough power to bring hundreds or thousands of tons of sand to them.

"Don't just say it, think of a solution! It's definitely not going to work with these camels. Use your abilities, or do you want to kill us all?"

Laura roared against the strong wind. She looked at the huge sand waves gradually forming on the horizon, and watched the sand and dust in front of her rise into the sky, rising up to a thousand meters into the sky.

A gray-yellow world seemed to be slowly closing with a curtain, and the camel caravan they were in was just a small decoration under this curtain.

In the face of such a mighty force of heaven and earth, as bold as she was, her hands and feet began to tremble uncontrollably.

Hu Jianjun held on to the camel's reins tightly to prevent himself from being blown away by the strong wind, and at the same time shouted at Clark:

"Yeah, think of a solution quickly! You must have been prepared for bringing us here, right?"

In fact, when he said this, he no longer had any hope in his heart. After all, in this situation, even if the king of heaven came, he had to kneel down obediently.

Yes, Clark is indeed powerless at this time. As a [Psychic], his psychic powers have no ability to fight against such natural disasters.

However, this does not mean that there is nothing he can do.

"Do it, Hermione!"

What? !

In the howling wind, Laura and Fatty Wang vaguely heard his words.

The next moment, they saw the little girl who had been following Clark, facing the strong wind, straightening her back and slowly walking to the center of the camel circle, next to the pile of supplies.

The strong wind blew away those things that were not securely placed. Everyone had to lower their bodies to stabilize their center of gravity.

But Hermione stood in the strong wind and took out a large hard-covered book from her arms.

She braved the strong wind, opened the title page of the book, and began to softly recite a mysterious mantra.

"What are you doing?"

Fatty Wang and Hu Jianjun both looked at her with wide eyes, wondering what this little girl was doing.

Laura also looked at Hermione with wide eyes, but her eyes were full of inquiry and curiosity.

Under the gaze of everyone, in the sky full of wind and sand, Hermione's clear voice, high and low tones, mixed with the "whooshing" and howling wind, were like a magnificent symphony.

As Hermione's singing reached its climax, a handful of crystal clear crystal stone powder also swayed out from her hand.

The fine powder quickly disappeared in the wind and sand.

Then, everyone was surprised to find that the wind around them seemed to have weakened!

At first, the change was not so obvious.

But soon, when they looked up to the sky, they discovered that an invisible line of decomposition could be clearly seen a little above their heads.

Inside the dividing line is the place where the wind and sand gradually subside.

Outside the dividing line, there is still a frightening sandstorm.

The storm carrying yellow sand was like an angry dragon and python, coiling around their simple camp.

The storm was so violent that it almost sucked away the nearby sand dunes, but it could not reach the area beneath their feet.

Gradually, the space around them became strangely calm.

If someone looked at it from a distance at this time, they would find that the seven of them, together with their supplies and camels, seemed to be shrouded in an invisible glass bowl.

At this time, Hermione had stopped reciting. She closed the magic book and nodded to them with a smile. Clark on the side also said to everyone: "Okay! Now we are safe!"

They were indeed safe.

Just a few steps away from them, the wind sounded like a devil's scream, occasionally bringing out one or two crisp sounds like the cracking of a whip.

The dense sand grains carry amazing energy in the storm, like bullets being discharged.

Perhaps it can draw out bloody wounds on people, erase everything in the desert, grind rocks into gravel, and cut living people into bones.

But in front of them, they could only avoid it very smoothly and let out a helpless lament.

Even in such a nightmare-like environment, they were still standing on the soft sand unharmed.

Even though the storm blocked the bright moon in the sky, there was still a weak white light in this small semicircular space, providing them with illumination.

Hu Jianjun looked at the invisible 'wall' in front of him that blocked the storm and sand, and said in disbelief: "Is this... magic?"

Clark looked calm and even had the mood to take out a bottle of mineral water, unscrew the cap and rinse his mouth.

"he~~tui!"

"Of course it's magic. Otherwise, what do you think it is? God bless you? This is Egypt. If you want to pray, you should also pray to the Egyptian gods."

Clark made a joke, but he was right. What Hermione cast was indeed the third-level evocation spell of the [Mage] profession - [Leomon's Cabin].

As you can tell from the name, this is a force field spell invented by an arcanist named Leomen, specifically for mages to rest comfortably when venturing in the wild.

As early as the beginning of the summer vacation, Hermione had already upgraded the [Mage] profession to level 5 under Clark's reminder, unlocking the ability to use third-level spells.

As for the casting materials, when the wealthy Laura said that she would be responsible for preparing all the materials, Clark also reported all the casting materials that might be used without any hesitation.

Now it seems that all his precautions were not in vain.

At least in the eyes of Laura and the others, they were able to survive this sandstorm safely.
