The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Chapter 248 Treasure Room (Third Update)

The expedition team of thirteen people has only five people left here. Dr. Hunter was about to collapse, but he still managed to regain his composure, picked up the package left by Alyosha, and continued moving forward.

They thought that there would be another long, narrow corridor next, but what they didn't expect was that the road behind the platform was much wider and not too long. After walking less than a hundred meters, a piece of sand appeared in front of Tom and the others.

The texture of the sand is fine, each particle is uniform in size, and has a beautiful light golden color. It looks like the best sea sand at first glance.

This sandy area is very wide, taking up the entire corridor, but it is not as long as the sand pit used for long jump on the playground.

"Why is there sand here?" Hermione was a little confused. She stood on the edge of the sand and was careful not to touch it rashly. Instead, she looked at her companion, hoping to get an answer.

"Maybe it's the quicksand trap like before?" Sara walked next to her and inserted the cold smoke fire into it, but to her surprise, the sand was only an inch deep.

"It should be the sand used to absorb moisture from the air in the pyramid." Dr. Hunter gave an answer based on his own experience. "Of course, that is true if magic factors are not taken into account."

Hermione glanced at Tom, hoping to get some reference from him, but Tom couldn't see the reason. He could only shake his head, saying that he didn't know, but his intuition told him that this piece of sand should is harmless.

He took the initiative to step on the sand.

Nothing happened, the sand didn't even reach the soles of his shoes.

They crossed the sand unscathed.

After Tom and the others passed through a small patch of sand and walked for a while, they saw a huge dark golden door. There are also two black cat statues placed on the left and right of the door.

As they stood in front of the gate, it moved on its own and opened in the middle. The two doors, one on the left and one on the right, deflected inward at a certain angle and stopped moving, eventually forming an "eight" shape, with darkness behind the door.

Sarah threw the cold fireworks in her hand, and then the old man Yushadu took the initiative and walked in. When two cold fireworks illuminated the interior decoration, he stayed where he was.

"God..." His mouth was open and his eyes were blank.

Tom was a little curious and walked in. When he saw the things on both sides of the aisle clearly, he also felt an oncoming sense of suffocation. And he believed that almost everyone would feel suffocated when they saw this scene, and would be frozen in place and unable to move.

gold. Lots of gold.

Jinshan.

It was the only word Tom could use to describe what he saw.

They were in a room the size of an auditorium. Behind the eight-shaped door was a narrow path. The end of the path was hidden in darkness. On the roadside were two piles of gold mountains over ten meters high.

Jinshan is composed of various gemstones, large gold plates, exquisite gold and silver vessels, and animal sculptures.

"Oh God -" Dr. Hunter couldn't stand, because he was too excited, and his face was distorted: just a few of the things here would be enough for him to study for a lifetime! The treasures in this room alone would allow him to build a museum as good as the British Museum.

By then, he will be the most famous archaeologist in the world and the first person in the history of ancient Egypt!

Real fame and fortune.

Sarah and Jusha were equally excited.

Sarah believed that with her share of the treasure, she could buy the entire Champs Elysées! Jushad is convinced that the things in this room can help the whole of Egypt get rid of hunger. They can use the money to provide free medical care, compulsory education, widen the Suez Canal, and build more water conservancy projects...

Egyptians can also live the life of those oil guys in the Sinai Peninsula!

Tom and Hermione were also shocked: they had never seen this scene before.

"We can use these treasures to build a library. You will be the director and I will be the librarian..." Hermione grabbed Tom's arm and shook it gently, "When we graduate..."

Tom's heart was dazzled.

Gold immediately aroused the most primitive desires in the hearts of the five people.

Dr. Hunter beside them murmured to himself, as if in a dream: "The treasure troves of many heroes in Upper and Lower Egypt, the wealth on both sides of the Nile and even the entire Mediterranean coast should be here..."

If you just pack a backpack with the things in this room and go out, you will have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life.

Thinking of this, several people suddenly calmed down: first of all, they are still trapped in this pyramid, and secondly, even if they can pretend, how much can they pretend? One backpack per person is the limit...

Wait, backpack?

In an instant, four pairs of eyes and eight gazes were all focused on the backpack behind Tom. Muggle bags are small, but wizard bags are different!

They can transport several tons of gold in one trip!

"Calm down! Calm down!" Tom waved his hand, indicating that everyone should calm down first. The gold is here, and it won't run away, so everyone should calm down first.

Tom glanced around at the surrounding arrangements, and sure enough he saw a huge bunch of red coral on the edge of the path, with many exquisitely shaped small lights hanging on the branches of the coral. Each lamp is shaped like a kitten, with the cat's tail serving as the wick. Tom patiently lit the cat lights one by one.

He counted and found that there were forty-nine cat lanterns in different postures hung on this bunch of corals as tall as one person. This lantern alone could serve as a treasure of any national museum in the world.

And there is more than one such lamp.

Dr. Hunter and the others also found the same type of lamps in other locations in the corridor. When they turned on all the lamps one by one, the whole room became brightly lit. They also clearly saw the overall situation of the house.

There are nine huge pillars on each side of the house. Next to the giant pillars is the golden mountain they just saw. In the middle of the house is a small pool, which seems to have live fish.

After being able to see the entire Jinshan Mountain, Dr. Hunter quickly estimated the amount of gold here and found that conservatively, there were nearly 10,000 tons of gold hidden in this room!

The entire United States has only 8,000 tons of gold reserves.

In other words, the person who obtains the treasure in this room will truly be extremely rich! Even if the five people share it equally, their individual gold possessions would rank among the top five in the world's gold reserves.

This is not even counting the cultural value of the gold and the value of the precious stones! Gems the size of pigeon eggs can be seen everywhere here.

Someone once concluded that human beings have three major desires, the desire to eat, the desire to sleep and the desire to survive, but Tom felt that he should be invited to come and see this house. Tom feels that human beings' love for gold is their most deep-rooted desire. They have written this hobby into their genes and it has become an instinct.
