Hogwarts: From Squibs to Greatness

Chapter 107 Transaction and Imerton's Resurrection (5K Chapters)

"This……"

The two still couldn't believe it, so neither of them reached out to take the key.

"I'm not here for the key and the map inside it, I'm just here to confirm some things." John took a sip of tea and said lightly.

Evelyn and her brother Jonathan looked at each other, and they both saw the hesitation in the other's eyes.

In the end, Evelyn mustered up the courage to reach out and take the key, and put it away.

John naturally saw what the two were worried about, but in fact, for him, with the Philosopher's Stone, he could become the richest person in the world at any time.

He is interested in the "Black Book of the Dead" and "The Golden Book of the Sun".

According to the memory, there are a lot of powerful spells recorded in these two books, and there are even spells for summoning the dead and resurrecting the dead.

But John didn't have too many expectations for this kind of resurrection magic.

Because a miracle that reverses life and death like resurrection, there must be extremely strict conditions, and it must be highly bound to the world that created this magic.

Even if the system records this resurrection magic so that he can use it in other worlds, it is very likely that the result of the resurrection will be different from the result of creating this magical world, and it may cause serious consequences.

After all, because of the system, John can cast magic in each world based on the rules of other worlds.

But even if John successfully cast the resurrection magic in other worlds and successfully resurrected the target, but the resurrected target has no system in its body, and will inevitably be affected by the rules of the world after resurrection.

To counteract this effect, it is impossible at John's current level. He will continue to study and research hard. Perhaps one day in the future, he will be able to ignore the influence of the world's rules and cast resurrection magic to resurrect the dead at will.

The key was returned to Evelyn because everything in the future started around her, and she was also the one who found the two books "Black Book of the Dead" and "Golden Book of the Sun".

Instead of looking for it by yourself, it's better to establish a good relationship now, and call Evelyn directly to borrow it in the future.

Thinking of this, John took out two talisman necklaces from the ring and sent them to Evelyn and Jonathan.

Looking at the gemstone necklaces shining brightly under the light in front of him, Jonathan couldn't take his eyes off immediately. As he estimated the value of the two gemstone necklaces in his heart, his eyes immediately shone with golden light.

Although Evelyn was very moved by such a precious gemstone necklace, she knew that no one would hand over such a treasure to them for no reason, and there must be some demands.

So she held down her brother who was about to move, looked at John with some vigilance, and asked directly: "Mr. Magician, what do you mean?"

John looked at the vigilant Evelyn in front of him, smiled and said directly: "These are two magic amulets, which can protect your lives in times of life and death crisis."

"As a condition, when you get something in Hamna Tower in the future, I hope you can lend it to me for a while."

Hearing John's explanation, Evelyn frowned involuntarily, and asked with some doubts: "But aren't you a powerful magician? You can go to Hamna Tower by yourself, let alone you have... ...Lord Betty."

"Miss Evelyn, you must know that everyone has their own destiny." John looked at Evelyn, "The things I want to borrow from you will eventually fall into your hands in fate. Why should I go find it myself?"

"Also, you can also regard this as a commission, a transaction, and the reward is this magic amulet. What do you think? Miss Evelyn"

Being watched by John at this time, Evelyn felt as if she had been exposed to the eyes of some powerful beast, which made her skin crawl, and her instinct kept making her run away.

"I... I... I think it's okay"

When Evelyn agreed to the deal, the feeling of being stared at by wild beasts disappeared instantly, and Evelyn felt light all over,

She felt as if she had swayed in front of the gate of death just now, and the clothes behind her back were already wet with her own cold sweat.

"Choose wisely, Miss Evelyn, then the deal is established!"

John stretched out his hand, and Evelyn tremblingly stretched out her hand to shake his hand, showing a forced smile, even though her body was still a little weak.

After waving his hand to put away the teacup and teapot on the table, John picked up Betty who was lying on the table and fell asleep, and left the library under the watchful eyes of Evelyn and Jonathan.

After John left, Evelyn's back that was straight went limp in an instant, and she leaned back in the chair, breathing a sigh of relief.

And Jonathan couldn't wait to pick up a magic amulet and put it on his neck, and put the other on Evelyn's neck by the way.

"Brother" Evelyn looked at her brother helplessly.

Jonathan smiled at Evelyn, and said directly: "Oh, sister, don't worry, with that person's ability, he won't do anything, even if we do, we won't know, right? Let's relax a little bit. Be careful."

Hearing what her brother said, Evelyn thought for a while that it was indeed the case, based on the abilities shown by the magician named John and the incarnation of Best beside him.

If he wanted to do something to them, he would have done it long ago, and he would not be patient to deal with them.

Thinking of this, Evelyn pointed the talisman on her neck under the light, and looked at this bright gem...

John took Betty and left the museum under the awe-inspiring eyes of the monks at the door.

It's just that John glanced at a window behind him when he passed the statue of Best.

Immediately, the curator, who was watching John from behind the window, was frightened by this look and took several steps back.

Just now he seemed to see a crimson dragon roaring at him, and the blue dragon pupils were full of warnings.

As a member of the descendants of the gravekeepers, the curator actually noticed this strange combination when John and Betty entered the museum, but later he was attracted by the commotion in the library and went to check it out.

Subsequent searches he did not find John them, until now.

He naturally saw the awe-inspiring attitude of the monk towards John and the others, so he wanted to observe secretly and find out John's true identity, but he didn't expect what happened just now.

He was horrified, and he remembered the poem recorded in the ancient books handed down by the tomb guards, the legend about the dragon pharaoh.

"Compatriots, please remember, observe the existence of black hair and blue pupils, that is the favorite disguise of Dragon Pharaoh"

"He is the king of the red-haired dragon pupil, and the power of the world gathers in his hands"

"He can take the form of a crimson dragon whose fire burns all things"

"He is beyond life and death and will never enter the underworld"

"Ra was level with him, and the gods feared him"

The curator's face was pale, because he thought that the person just now was indeed black-haired and blue-eyed, combined with the illusion of the red dragon he had just seen.

"Dragon Pharaoh... actually exists..."

John didn't know that there were ancient books that recorded things about him. He was carrying Betty to the hotel at this time. During the time when Evelyn found Hamnata, he needed a place for him to study and research quietly. The place.

Stay in a hotel funded by the British and put Betty on a soft pillow.

John entered the space, and he needed to temporarily make some gold nuggets. The gold nuggets made from the previous study of the Philosopher's Stone were almost used up in the world of Porco Rosso.

He was going to go to the antiquities shops in the market to see if he could find some ancient Egyptian books, maybe there were Egyptian magic books among them.

Just as John was turning the stone that had been cut into a fixed shape into pure gold with a magic stone, he heard the sound of something falling on the ground behind him.

At the first moment, John took out his wand and turned around to aim at the direction of the voice.

I saw Betty looking at the glass bottle knocked down by herself with some embarrassment, and found that it had aroused John's subject, and lowered her head a little guilty.

Seeing this scene, John put down the wand in his hand, without saying anything, and continued to use the Philosopher's Stone to transform the stone into pure gold.

John didn't explore how Betty entered the space inside his ring. After all, as the incarnation of a god, it's not surprising that he could do this.

On the contrary, Betty was a little embarrassed, and entered other people's private space without the owner's consent.

So Betty didn't move around, but jumped up, lightly landed on the sofa pillow, and lay down on her side to observe the room.

Just when John and Betty were living in harmony, the outside world seemed to be destined, and Evelyn met O'Connor, who would be entangled with her for a lifetime.

As John said, their fate has begun to push them on the road to find Hamna Tower.

Two nights later, John was reading the magic book he found in his room. It was a magic book written by the Egyptian high priest in the 17th century, which explained in detail the magic of summoning carnivorous scarabs to devour the enemy.

But John is just reading now, and has not studied further.

This is because John discovered that all the magic books he had harvested during this period had the same content in them, that is, belief in gods.

The reason why they can do this is because of their pious belief that the gods have given them power. In essence, they are not casting magic, but using methods such as spells and rituals to arouse the power given to them by the gods, thus do this.

Therefore, these priests have very firm beliefs in the gods, because if they do not have firm beliefs, their power will be taken away by the gods one day.

John tried to change the power that drives the gods into the power that drives himself, but unfortunately he didn't succeed. There must be something he hasn't understood yet.

So he temporarily put aside his research on these magic books, and planned to start research after obtaining the "Black Book of the Dead" and "The Golden Book of the Sun". God's way.

At this moment, John felt that his talisman was touched, and he looked in the direction where the talisman was touched.

The telescopic spell was quietly launched, and through the window, John's dragon vision reached a terrifying distance under the superimposed power of the spell.

He clearly saw Evelyn wearing white pajamas, being thrown into the river from the burning boat by a tall and strong man. This man was none other than O'Connor.

And the person who just triggered the amulet was Evelyn's brother Jonathan. A conflict broke out on the boat just now, and a stray bullet headed towards his head, which was blocked by the shield expanded by the amulet.

Withdrawing his gaze, John read the book in his hand again. Now is not the time for him to show up.

At the right time, John will naturally make a move.

Time flies quickly in research and study.

That night, in the hotel room, Betty, as usual, was intoxicated before Hagrid and gave it to John, adding a long blanket of unicorn hair during the weaving process.

When Betty saw this long blanket by accident, she was attracted by the holy breath on it, just like a cat that had eaten catnip, rolling on the blanket intoxicated.

John did not expect that the holy breath of the unicorn beast would be so attractive to Betty, even for this blanket, Betty was willing to exchange what she knew.

John was very satisfied with the result of the final transaction. He exchanged this blanket and Betty for a full set of knowledge on how to construct a guardian circle.

This includes a series of related knowledge such as building construction, material selection, and requirements for engraving runes.

When this set of guardian magic circle is completed, inject power into it, and the magic circle will attract the power of the earth to build a cycle.

At that time, with the magic circle as the center, everything within a radius of [-] kilometers will be protected within the big circle.

And within the range of the magic circle, any existence that is not recognized by the people who built the magic circle will be cursed and fall into the cracks of the earth.

Only when the earth is destroyed, or the interior is destroyed, can this huge guardian formation be released.

Just as John was flipping through the ancient books in his hand, Evelyn and the others had also finished their first exploration of the ruins of Hamna Tower.

Evelyn and the others discovered the remains of the Egyptian high priest, Imerton, who was sealed in a sarcophagus, tortured by insects, and killed the Pharaoh for his loved one.

The accompanying expedition, led by an Egyptologist named Allen and funded by the Americans, discovered the priceless "Black Book of the Dead" and the canopic jars storing Imerton's organ at the same time.

And this is also the beginning of their death, because the text inscribed on the Canopic box storing the "Black Book of the Dead" and the Canopic jar has already issued a warning to these greedy people.

"Whoever opens this box, the god of death will come."

"If the immortal spirit can be reborn, at that time, under the will of God, the curse will be fulfilled"

"The person who opened the box, the immortal spirit swore to swallow his internal organs and eat his blood, so he came back from the dead, and then returned to the world, causing chaos in the world"

The moment the box was opened, Allen and the other three were cursed, which is why part of them would be taken away by Imerton later.

With the help of their flesh and organs to fill the void, Imerton was resurrected in the world.

Of course, these people don’t know this, just like now, Alan who is asleep doesn’t know either, Evelyn stole the "Black Book of the Dead" from his arms, opened it with a key, and in O'Connor's curious inquiry, read Chant the incantation engraved on it.

Suddenly, the sky and the earth changed color, and the dark power was awakened because of Evelyn's chanting.

And such changes in the world caught the attention of John and Betty, and John knew that the right time had come.

So the next moment, John put away the books in his hands and got up, and Betty jumped up and landed on his shoulders.

Accompanied by the apparition, John and Betty distorted and disappeared into the hotel room.

In the next second, they appeared at the top of a stone pillar in a ruin.

Under the light of the fire, locusts surged towards this side like black clouds, and the sound of tens of thousands of locusts flapping their wings hurt everyone's ears.

Whether it was the greedy Americans below or Evelyn who was just taking risks, they all hid underground in the Hamna Tower in a panic.

Only the Egyptian scholar named Allen was left holding the "Black Book of the Dead" and muttering to himself while standing in the plague of locusts.

"What have we done!"

Seemingly sensing the danger of John and Betty, these locusts all instinctively chose to avoid John and the others.

Of course, in order to prevent the resurrected Imerton from being disturbed, Betty immediately released the magic that could cover the fluctuations above.

John watched the overwhelming locusts, and watched these locusts summoned by the dark power. The red dragon wand fell into his palm, and the magic power in his body began to surge.

"Hellfire!" John waved his wand and recited the incantation of the Fiercefire Curse aloud.

Fierce Fiendfire gushed out from the top of the wand, and with John's movements, a blazing and dazzling ring of fire appeared around John, instantly igniting the surrounding locusts, and spreading to the surroundings like an infection.

Immediately, Li Huo turned into a burning cloud, and the whole sky was illuminated by the crimson flame.

The burning Fiendfire gradually turned into a soaring red dragon, and began to flap its wings made of flames to hover in the sky.

When John released Fiendfire, Betty's hair was tied up all over her body, watching the raging magic fire vigilantly. Even the incarnation of God would find it difficult to face this kind of fire that burns everything.

On the ground, Alan was already stunned by this shocking scene. He sat on the ground with the "Black Book of the Dead" in his arms. His eyes reflected the fire and John's figure.

In the end, because Evelyn awakened Imerton after reading "The Black Book of the Dead", the locust plague that was summoned was wiped out by Fiendfire.

Under John's control, the raging and violent Fiendfire gradually extinguished until it disappeared.

Under Allen's dull gaze, John jumped from the stone pillar and fell in front of him, reached out and took the "Black Book of the Dead" from his arms, and directly put it into the space.

Then John just glanced at the entrance of the underground ruins, at this moment Imerton has been awakened and has taken a body part from the cursed one.

However, this seizing ceremony was interrupted by the tomb guards who came later, temporarily saving the cursed person.

But once this curse begins, it will not end, just like the warning said, "Under God's will, the curse will be fulfilled."

Whether it is Allen who is kneeling in front of John at this moment, or the three ignorant and arrogant Americans who are greedy for wealth, they are bound to die.

John couldn't stop the curse, not even Betty, because it was God's will.

Ignoring Allen, who knelt on the ground and worshiped him, John returned to Cairo with "The Black Book of the Dead" and Betty.

John didn't think he was a good person, but he couldn't ignore the innocent people who died in the coming disaster.

He wants to prepare for the coming ten plagues.
