Hogwarts Crawler
Chapter 51
After some hesitation, everyone wrote down their own answers.
Five hands held their own answer sheets together, with the same answer in different handwritings on them - "River".
A river can run but never walk, has an estuary but never speaks, has a source but never sheds tears, has a riverbed but never sleeps.
"Correct answer!"
Mao Tuan nodded excitedly:
"Do you want to continue guessing?"
Uther glanced at his roommates who were all very interested, and said to Mao Tuan:
"Ask a question."
In Hogwarts for a year, it's just the right opportunity to accompany it.
And Mao Tuan is the only Sphinx he can guarantee will not attack them if they answer the riddle incorrectly.
"Some people try to hide, some people try to deceive, but time will reveal everything, and we will always meet."
It can be seen that Maotuan seems to have saved a lot of riddles, and he hardly hesitated when he said a new riddle:
"Try your best to guess my name, and when I really have you, I promise you will know the answer."
After a guess, this time Cologne did not answer correctly.
The answer is death, and Cologne's answer is the end-of-year exam paper.
"Some people try to hide, some people try to deceive, but time will reveal everything, and we will always meet... I think this answer seems to be okay?"
Bernard smiled bitterly:
"But Cologne, you obviously did well in the exam."
"Doing well in the exam doesn't mean I like exams!"
Cologne said it with confidence.
Maotuan was entangled for a while, and had to admit that for Hogwarts students, this answer did fit the riddle, and reluctantly determined that Cologne got it right.
It seems that this is still an enlightened Sphinx. Adam is willing to call it an enlightened beast (the enlightened beast located in Kunlun Xu, China: "Ahhh-Ahchu!" x9).
Everyone then guessed a few more riddles. Although the answers given sometimes contradicted Maotuan's, Maotuan thought carefully and it seemed that there was no problem.
So in the end, until Maotuan said goodbye, the five people were in a state of all the answers. Maotuan waved goodbye to them in high spirits.
"In fact, there is nothing particularly interesting inside the pyramid."
Entering the main body of the pyramid, while introducing, Uther took out lighting tools from his bag and distributed them to everyone:
"The only valuable things for us are the words and statues on the wall, but you can't read them, I will translate them for you."
"Wow, Uther, you are really amazing, you know so many languages."
Cologne couldn't help but sigh.
Although Uther's family communicates in English most of the time, they occasionally use Arabic, and now these are ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics on the wall.
"Ahem, it's actually okay~"
The darkest skin among the five people couldn't hide the blush on his cheeks. Uther translated the inscriptions on the wall for everyone and explained the stories behind the statues.
Some of them praised the achievements of the Pharaoh when he was alive, and some wished the Pharaoh a smooth resurrection... The parts about the achievements were the wizard version, so Adam was also amazed.
It is worth mentioning that in order to express respect for the gods and the Pharaoh, the biggest requirement for the hieroglyphics is beauty and symmetry. For this reason, it can be written vertically or horizontally, from left to right or from right to left, depending on the lines between the characters and the direction of the heads of the animals.
This made everyone sigh:
"It's just like drawing."
"In that era, only those who mastered the characters could access the mysteries of knowledge, and those who mastered the hieroglyphics mastered the most profound knowledge - magic."
Uther stroked the hieroglyphics on the wall, sighing at the ancient past, and suddenly seemed to touch something.
"What is this?"
Uther looked closely and saw that it was an Eye of Horus, which represented the Pharaoh in this passage.
The Eye of Horus looked normal, and with doubt, Uther reached out his hand again and gently placed it on the Eye of Horus. Sure enough, he touched the bulge again.
After confirming, Uther decisively withdrew his hand.
How could there be such an abnormal bulge in the inscription of the pyramid, and it was on the Eye of Horus, which symbolizes holiness and Pharaoh? Not to mention that this point seemed to be deliberately hidden.
Uther remembered that this pyramid was not built to welcome future generations to visit, so he should go back and ask his father.
"Everyone has seen enough, right? Let's go back."
There was really nothing new left, and everyone nodded in response.
Back in the villa in Cairo, Uther said that he had prepared Egyptian-style clothing for everyone - that is, the Karasiris he was wearing., let everyone change, his parents will come back early in the evening, and everyone will go boating on the Nile together.
Unexpectedly, under the guidance of Uther's servants, everyone changed into Karasilis and came out, but Uther still made them wait for a long time.
When he came down from the second floor, Uther was immediately surrounded by Adam and others.
"Great! No wonder you took so long, I didn't expect you to change into such a beautiful dress!"
Bernard hooked his fingers on Uther's belt inlaid with turquoise and other gems and dragged him forward, and Cologne pushed his back from behind:
"After changing into this, we are just like your followers!"
"Okay, okay, brothers are connected with you, and you are playing tricks with your brothers?"
Adam stretched out his hand to summon the Dark Staff, and the spikes of the sun and the gems on Uther's body sparkled together in the sun:
"I hope you can give us a reasonable explanation, otherwise you may have to participate in the evening cruise naked."
"At most, I will leave you a pair of underwear."
Eugene added.
"Didn't you say you wanted to see me wearing Egyptian clothes?"
Uther cried out in injustice, and opened his hands to show off his clothes with golden patterns and various gems:
"My father and I are the only ones in Egypt who can wear this. Isn't it special enough?"
"So this is your last words, right? Adam slashed him!"
Bernard and Eugene lifted Uther up, and Adam raised the Dark Staff as if he was about to chop him.
After a lot of antics, Uther finally changed into the same clothes as everyone else when he and everyone else were rafting on the Nile River. After all, although Adam and his friends didn't dare to do anything in Egypt, they would have to go back to Hogwarts after school started.
These people might actually strip him down to his underwear.
They played in Cairo for four days, went to Thebes for seven days, and went around other cities for less than a day. Adam and his friends played for nearly a month before saying goodbye to Uther.
Before leaving, Uther gave each of them a roll of papyrus, which was written in hieroglyphics, which Adam and the others could not understand.
"This is a blessing from Amon-Ra."
Ra and Amon were the main gods of the Heliopolis Ennead and Thebes Octagonal Gods, respectively, and later the two merged into one.
So this roll of papyrus should be a friendship letter of some diplomatic nature.
"I look forward to tasting the taste of my hometown in Hogwarts."
Before leaving, Uther could not help but remind them.
"No problem!"
After saying goodbye to Uther, everyone set off on the return journey.
