Chapter 224 Explore the Pyramids

Again In the next few days, perhaps because the Egyptian Ministry of Magic has not caught the escaped dark wizard, Bill did not strike while the iron was hot and take everyone to continue to visit the other two pyramids in the Giza Pyramid Group. We took them to other attractions.

Cairo Tower, Aswan Dam, Al-Khalili Market, Montaza Palace…

In the evening, Ives and his party, who had just visited the Luxor Temple, arrived at the Nile Cruise Ship Terminal.

The atmosphere around the pier was particularly lively, with colorful lights illuminating the entire pier. Several large cruise ships were docked neatly on the shore, and people were excitedly preparing to start their Nile trip.

Ron was walking in the middle of the team, and when he stepped onto the deck, he inadvertently complained to Draco beside him:”I really don’t know what’s so interesting about those ruins made of stones.” His words revealed his understanding of what had happened before. Visited the Luxor Temple and was unimpressed.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Hermione, who was walking behind him, became extremely angry. She glared at Ron and retorted:”Ron, how could you say that?””

“Those are not just piles of stones, they are treasures of ancient Egyptian civilization and witnesses of history. Each such ruin has its own unique story and value. How can it be called a ruin?”

Ron was a little embarrassed by Hermione’s fierce reaction. He realized that his words were inappropriate, but he was too embarrassed to look down, so he muttered a few words:”What I said is right, it is indeed a ruin.……”

Seeing that Hermione wanted to say something else, Avis hurriedly stepped forward to stand between the two of them.

He pulled Hermione’s sleeve and persuaded:”Hermione, Ron was just joking, and he didn’t really mean to belittle the Luxor Temple.”

“Yes, that’s right.”Ron quickly climbed down the steps.

Hermione calmed down a little at this time, but her tone was still serious,”Ron, I know you don’t mean any harm, but such words can easily be misunderstood.”

“We should respect every cultural and historical heritage, no matter how it looks to us. After all, traveling is not only about enjoying beautiful scenery, but also a process of increasing knowledge and broadening horizons.”

After listening to her words, Ron lowered his head in shame and silently increased the speed of his steps.

“I really don’t know what makes Ron more mature,” Hermione whispered with her arms folded.

Ives sighed helplessly. This is probably the generation gap between a top student like Hermione and a bad student like Ron.

The former never forgets to pay attention to the humanistic stories behind the scenic spots when traveling, while the latter only cares about whether the scenic spots are beautiful enough or the experience is good enough.

He really wanted to tell Hermione: Everyone is here to have fun, so don’t continue to scroll! This is going to kill people!

The unpleasant episode between Hermione and Ron was quickly forgotten by everyone. They were all attracted by the luxurious decoration in the cruise ship.

The facilities in the cabin were all available, and the seats were comfortable. The chairs and cool cabin make for a great mood

“So, why do these lamps emit colorful light?”Mr. Weasley sat on the soft sofa and looked at everything in the cabin curiously.

This was a question he had wanted to ask for a long time. Ever since he visited the Egyptian Museum, he had wanted to know why Muggle lamps Glow.

The lighting methods of wizards are still stuck in the last century. They all use kerosene lamps, torches, candles and the like for lighting. Mr. Weasley has never seen a lamp that can emit colorful light before.

“Mr. Weasley, this is an electric lamp, a Muggle lighting tool. The light-emitting principle of an electric lamp is to pass electric current through the filament, causing the filament to heat up and then emit light.”Aves explained with a smile.

“Current, filament? This may sound complicated.”Mr. Weasley scratched his head. These Muggle technologies were indeed a bit difficult for him to understand.

Hermione organized her language and said,”Actually, it’s not difficult to understand, Mr. Weasley. Electricity, like magic, is energy. After it passes through the filament, it will heat the filament and then emit light.”

“Oh, I get it! Mr. Weasley suddenly realized,”Just like our wand, when the magical energy in the wand flows, magic can be cast.” Muggle lamps make electricity flow and then emit light.”

“That’s pretty much what it means.”Avis thought for a while and nodded in confirmation of his statement.

To be honest, some things in the magical world are really a bit too backward compared to Muggles. Of course, they also have many things that are very convenient.

For example, washing dishes. For example, if Muggles want to wash dishes, they have to do it manually, which is time-consuming and laborious, or they have to buy an expensive dishwasher. However, although the dishwasher can free up manpower, it may not necessarily clean the dishes.

And wizards It is much more convenient for such trivial matters. A simple cleaning magic can be done in a few seconds.

The only thing Ives wants to complain about is that wizards do not use electricity. Not to mention electrical appliances such as computers and TVs, even the most basic No electric lights were used.

Burning torches were hung on the walls of Hogwarts all day long, and the Burrow where he stayed for a few days during the summer last year was also lit by oil lamps.

After getting used to the brightness of the electric lights, Ives only felt that the brightness of the lights was too bright. The dim lights in Gwarts Castle were difficult to accept.

Neville also joined the conversation and asked curiously:”Then how do you get the colors of these lights? Why are some red and some blue?”

“This is because the lamp is filled with different gases, or the lamp wall is coated with different fluorescent substances.”When electricity passes through them, they emit different colors of light,” Ives explained.”

“Wow, that’s amazing!”Mr. Weasley’s eyes widened. He was full of curiosity and yearning for Muggle technology.

The cruise ship slowly left the dock and entered the embrace of the Nile.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the river, and the entire river was dyed Golden yellow, sparkling, and beautiful.

After the boat speed stabilized, everyone left the cabin and stood on the deck, letting the breeze caress their cheeks and feeling the tranquility and breadth of the Nile. The cruise ship followed the Nile all the way from Upper Egypt to the Nile They sailed downstream to Cairo Port.

On the way, they passed many ancient bridges and tunnels, each of which had its own unique history and story. Bill told everyone many legends and history about the Nile, making them more profound. Understand the importance and significance of this river.

As the mother river among the Egyptians, it can be said that it was precisely because of the existence of the Nile that the ancient Egyptians were able to establish a country in the deser

t. The chefs on the ship also prepared sumptuous meals for tourists The buffet includes grilled lamb, salads, hummus… all are traditional Egyptian dishes. Although everyone has eaten them many times in the past few days, they still don’t feel tired.

After the meal, there was still a lot of food in the cabin. Everyone prepared local music and dance performances.

The dancers wore traditional costumes and performed rhythmic dances.

The entire cruise lasted about two hours, and everyone enjoyed the beautiful scenery and cultural atmosphere of the Nile.

Until the cruise After arriving at Cairo Port, they reluctantly said goodbye to this beautiful river.

After getting off the boat, George and Fred were still immersed in the dance performance on the cabin.

“What a wonderful experience!”George couldn’t help but admired,”Their dance and rhythm made me want to dance along with them.”

In fact, Gemini did so.

Fred nodded in agreement:”Yeah, me too. I have never seen a dance performance like this before, it was really eye-opening for me.”

Aves followed them silently.

Listening to the two of them talking, they turned away from the stairs. They no longer discussed how wonderful the dancers’ performance was, but argued about which performer was more beautiful.

In Aves With shocked eyes, Cedric also joined their discussion.

Huh? You, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, also like to look at beautiful women? He thought in shock.

He turned to look at Qiu again, and sure enough, Qiu’s face turned dark.

Cedric prays for his blessings. After Ives silently gave him blessings in his heart, he took Hermione away from this place of right and wrong.

It seems that after these few days of travel, Cedric’s feelings have warmed up. He Qiu, was about to return to the state at the beginning of the summer vacation.

After returning to the hotel where wizards gathered, Bill said to everyone apologetically:”My vacation will only end tomorrow, and I won’t be able to take you to play from tomorrow on.””

“It’s okay,” Sirius smiled and patted his shoulder, reassuringly saying,”Thank you very much these days.”

In a few days, he and Bill have become good buddies.

As a trendy boy, Bill and the fun-loving Sirius inexplicably have something in common.

“Yes, work matters.”Mrs. Weasley came forward and arranged Bill’s clothes.

After Bill left, everyone sat together and discussed the next day’s itinerary.

“Let’s go visit the two remaining pyramids.”Sirius suggested

“But……”Mr. Weasley hesitated.

“How many days have passed,” he retorted nonchalantly,”If the Egyptian Ministry of Magic were not made up of idiots, they would definitely be able to catch the dark wizard.”

“……Too.”Mr. Weasley nodded hesitantly.

……

Early the next morning, everyone took the bus again to the Giza Pyramids.

The only difference was that this time the driver was Mr. Weasley.

Although there is a modified Muggle car at home, he has never driven this kind of bus. Fortunately, under Bill’s guidance a few days ago, Mr. Weasley also roughly mastered the driving method.

“Let me see,” Mr. Weasley licked his lips and looked at everything in the driver’s seat with great interest.

He inserted the car key into the keyhole and twisted it hard. With a slight impact, the bus jumped out a few meters.

This was sudden. The movement startled everyone.

Realizing the problem, Mr. Weasley quickly took his foot off the accelerator. After he saw the staggering crowd in the rearview mirror, he apologized profusely.

“Arthur! Mrs. Weasley’s face was full of anger,”If you can’t drive, then Sirius will do it.””

Hearing this, Sirius’s eyes lit up. He sat up straight and almost pointed at himself and said, I’m here.

Mr. Weasley hurriedly defended:”Molly, this is just a small accident.”

Just kidding, he finally got the chance to drive with Mrs. Weasley’s permission. He would never let go of this opportunity.”

“……All right.”Mrs. Weasley nodded slowly. There were outsiders present. She would give Mr. Weasley some face and wait until she returned to her room at night.

Finally, the bus set off under the driving of Mr. Weasley, but Sirius still couldn’t get on. The bus he was thinking about.

After more than an hour – Mr. Weasley drove much slower than Bill – everyone finally arrived in front of the Giza Pyramids.

After getting off the bus, Ives paid special attention to the Pyramid of Khafre The surrounding situation.

All the Aurors who had previously blocked the area around the pyramid were gone. It seemed that the dark wizard had been caught.

He was relieved and prepared to focus on today’s trip.

They followed the”Wizards’ Special Travel Guide” given by Bill – -Egypt”, went around to the back of the Pyramid of Khufu, and found a ticket office that was very similar to the entrance to the Pyramid of Khafre.

After Sirius rushed to pay the ticket money, everyone was finally able to enter the interior of the Pyramid of Khufu..

There is also a narrow corridor at the entrance. Everyone who has had the experience first put a bubble head spell on themselves, and then lined up and walked inward. The corridor was dark, and only the light from the tip of the wand could illuminate the surroundings. Illuminate.

The air filtered by the Bubble Charm has no odor. After Bill left, Miss Know-It-All took on the role of tour guide.

“……The Pyramid of Khufu is the largest existing pyramid in Egypt. It is the pyramid of Pharaoh Khufu of the Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt.���Mainly used as its mausoleum, it is also the largest and tallest Egyptian pyramid in the world. Hermione, who had not yet entered the stage of changing her voice, introduced it to everyone in a clear and pleasant voice:”It was built around 2580 BC and completed in 2560 BC.” Located in the center of the Giza Pyramids, it is also the tallest and is known as one of the eight wonders of the ancient world.……”

Everything she said was memorized from the book about the pyramids last night. It can be said that she put a lot of effort into making everyone’s visit less boring.

Perhaps they were awakened by what Hermione said yesterday. Ron and the other little wizards in the team listened carefully to her explanation.

After a few minutes of walking in the narrow entryway, everyone climbed down the steps and entered a wider room – a room that separated the inside of the pyramid from the outside world.

There are also many murals painted in this room, including the Nile River, Anubis, Pharaoh Khufu… What caught Avis’s attention most was that there was also a mural of a huge ship on the wall.

He squinted his eyes and walked to the mural. If his memory served him right, the ships in this painting seemed to be exactly the same as those in Khafre’s pyramid.

After he expressed his doubts, Hermione seemed unfazed.

She said:”Pharaoh Khafre is the son of Pharaoh Khufu. He probably inherited Pharaoh Khufu’s ship.”

Ives nodded hesitantly.

In the early hours of the morning, the codewriters were all dizzy, and it was scheduled to be published. Fortunately, I came up to take a look, otherwise this chapter would not be published until 4 o’clock tomorrow morning.
