It was an anomaly, and no one knew where he had been during that time.
Many historians of magic speculated that he went to the United States after sorting out the materials after the war. After analyzing this, they believed that he wanted to obtain the Indian sacred artifact.
Undoubtedly, Grindelwald failed in the end, but the specific reasons have not been investigated until now.
Among the materials Ivan found, some mentioned Dumbledore, the world-renowned magic zoology, Mr. Newt Scamander, the author of "Where are the Fantastic Beasts", and his wife, former proud of the Magical Congress of the United States. Rotina Scamander, it is believed that the three of them were involved in the original incident.
However, Aiwen could not find detailed records, and the parties involved have remained silent about the past.
Later, because of Buckbeak's trial, Ivan and Mr. Scamander met. Out of curiosity, he specifically asked about this history, wanting to find out Grindelwald's true intentions, and in the legend, the four Does a powerful Indian Hallows not weaker than the Deathly Hallows really exist...
But he also didn't get a clear answer. Mr. Scamander sent back to Ivan an autobiography that was not released publicly. It didn't say those things in it, but it described in detail about him and his wife Tina, Tina's sister Queenie, and the experience of a Muggle looking for trendy magical creatures decades ago in America.
This experience can be seen as the background story of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".
In addition to learning a lot of information about magical animals in it, Ivan also has a certain understanding of the American magic world.
Although the existence of the legendary Indian sacristy is still a mystery, it is undeniable that the four huge statues inside the hall of the Iwamoni Auditorium are not simple at all. In Iwamoni, it is not the sorting hat that assigns students to their colleges. But these four statues.
Paul described the scene of the sorting ceremony to Alvin. Every year, when the freshmen lined up to enter the rotunda, the rest of the teachers and students would watch from the circular terrace above.
The freshmen stood in a circle against the wall, and one by one they were called to stand over the Gordian Knot carved in the very center of the hall's stone floor.
In the silence of all teachers and students, everyone waited for the reaction of the magical statue.
If the Horned Water Snake Academy wants to recruit the student, the crystal inlaid on the forehead will light up, the cat leopard academy will roar if it wants a student, the thunderbird will flap its wings and fly, and the goblin will raise its bow and arrow... …
Chapter 1191 Entering the Sun Ruins
As for why these four statues reacted, the specific reason is unknown!
The principle of the sorting hat is soul magic, and the four founders of Hogwarts each instilled part of their ideas in it.
The Sorting Hat is thus able to see through the essence of students, classifying them according to the qualities the four founders valued.
It is certain that there is no such magic on these four statues, and the founder of Ivamoni probably does not have the ability of the four founders of Hogwarts to instill thoughts on the statues, and there is no such thing in the existing magic system. Which spell can have this effect.
Therefore, in the eyes of most wizards, it is incredible that these four statues can respond to students.
People are talking about it, and it is precisely because of this that there are legends about the existence of Indian sacred artifacts...
Many wizards are curious about the internal structure of the statue, and want to know if there is any legendary sacred artifact inside.
But it seems that apart from Grindelwald, no wizard has dared to destroy these four statues...
After observing the students of the four colleges for a long time, the wizards found that they obviously have different characteristics. Some people say that the four colleges of Ivamoni are the epitome of the hearts of wizards or witches: long-horned water snakes represent wisdom, cats and leopards Represents the body, the goblin represents the heart, and the thunderbird represents the soul.
It is also said that the Water Snake Academy favors those who are smart and loves to read, the Cat and Leopard Academy favors warriors, the Goblin Academy is mostly kind-hearted healers, and the Thunderbird Academy is mostly for people who like adventure.
This difference is very obvious, which shows that the distribution of statues to students is not random, but according to a certain law.
From this inference, the sacred vessel inside the statue may have the effect of being able to identify the inner qualities of each person.
From this point of view, the so-called Indian sacred artifact is indeed well-deserved and powerful enough.
Although Ivamony has always been considered the heritage of Hogwarts in the Americas, and the two schools of magic have many similarities, there are still differences between Hogwarts and Iwamony, not only in Sorting ceremony.
Unlike wizards in England who buy their own wands, at Ivamony, after students are assigned to houses, they are led to a huge hall where they choose their wands.
In other words, the wand chooses its master.
Before this custom was abolished in 1965, the Rapaport Law (the famous ethnic segregation law between wizards and Muggles), the North American wizarding community still followed it, and there were very strict regulations on the secrecy law.
All young wizards are barred from possession of wands until they attend a wizarding school.
In addition, the wand is not allowed to be taken out of school during the holidays and needs to be turned in. Only wizards who have reached the age of 17 can legally carry the wand outside the school, which is much stricter than the laws of secrecy and wand usage in Europe.
Of course, to this day, this decree has been repealed, and Ivamoni no longer provides wands.
But for the management of the student magic wand, it has never been lax.
Students under the age of 17 will still need to turn in their wands during school breaks, which will be managed by the school.
In addition to this difference, another difference is that there are still many goblins working in Ivamony and holding important positions, which also makes wizards jokingly call Ivamony a school controlled by goblins.
It is impossible to meet a goblin at Hogwarts.
But goblins are very common in Ivamoni. They are not slaves like house elves, but the administrators of the school.
Imagine this picture, students need to obey the orders of goblins during school...
It sounds somewhat ridiculous, but the benefits are many.
First of all, the goblins in America are very rich; secondly, they are very interested in all kinds of strange magic items.
They will pay for these things from the students, and they will also issue tasks and a large number of orders for the students to make for them.
This is also the main reason why alchemy and potions have developed better in Ivamoni.
In addition, the biggest effect of having a large number of goblins is that the underground part of Ivamoni is getting bigger and bigger.
Although the goblins in the Americas are smarter and richer than their relatives in Europe, they still maintain the primitive habit of digging burrows. Based on the ruins, it expanded to all directions, and no one has been able to fully explore it until today.
For safety reasons, the school prohibits students from entering it.
But like the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, there are still many students sneaking in.
Many people found treasures left by ancient goblins or Indians in it, and became famous for it...
These are the details about Ivamoni. Through Paul's introduction, Ivan is full of expectations for there.
If you have the opportunity to exchange and study in other schools, it is indeed a very good thing.
There is also the Karnak School of Magic in Egypt. Ivan also learned a lot about this magic school from Lavier. Whether it is the Great Pyramid of Karnak or the Cemetery of the Gods, he yearns for it.
It's a pity that outsiders like him are not allowed to enter without the invitation of the school.
It's okay to say before, but it doesn't necessarily mean that there is no chance.
But considering the current tense situation in the magical world, it is impossible for such an application to be approved.
The study tour can be postponed, the top priority is to defeat Voldemort first.
This is the situation in front of Aiwen. He wants to enter the sun ruins to find something that enhances the power of the time converter, and returns to Hogwarts thousands of years ago to ask Ravenclaw for her treasure key...
During the International Alchemy Congress, the situation in Cairo changed again.
Gringotts, which was plagued by a large number of alchemy and magic organs in the sun ruins, took advantage of the opportunity of this conference to finally recruit wizards proficient in alchemy on a large scale to join the excavation team.
In addition, there are many unofficial mining teams that are also hiring.
If there is a partnership system, it is agreed that if there is a harvest, it will be distributed according to a certain proportion; there is also a hiring system, where alchemists are hired to help a certain number of Galleons every day, and the asking price ranges from a few dozen Galleons to thousands of Galleons.
Although there were many alchemists who came to the meeting, almost all of them were hired after half a month.
Even if not everyone wants to dig and hunt for treasure, no one is not curious about the alchemy mechanism left by Messes II.
Since they are all in Egypt, I don’t care about staying a few more days, and go to the Sun Ruins to see.
In such a situation, the wizards are gearing up to fight in the sun ruins.
At the end of the day, there were not many people in the main venue of the International Alchemy Conference!
The wizards all went to the ruins of the sun, and Lavie told Aiwen that all the alchemists plus the members of the excavation team and the adventurers who flocked to the treasures, the number of wizards who have entered or are about to enter the ruins of the sun in the past few days is amazing. More than [-] people are simply unbelievable.
Due to the large number of people, no one seemed to consider whether there was any danger.
In such a situation that was so fanatical that it was almost a group visit, Aiwen finally followed Lavier's excavation team into the ruins...
Chapter 1192 Excavation Team
Not long ago, Lavier joined Gringotts as an official spellbreaker after graduating from school.
As an inexperienced novice, generally they will not directly conduct field excavation and archaeology, but will be sent to relatively mature ruins such as the Great Pyramid and the Valley of the Kings, and will be promoted little by little according to their performance and achievements.
Excavations for those ruins have been going on for centuries since Gringotts entered Egypt.
That is to say, it is difficult to find any new things there, and the remaining curses that have not been solved are also very troublesome.
Under the leadership of Bill last year, Ivan visited the curse-breakers working in the Great Pyramid, and he was deeply impressed by the cracking of one of the curses. The novice curse-breakers were divided into four teams of five , using a kind of magic on a stone wall day and night to consume the curse power on it.
This is the solution to the curse, the whole process is quite tedious, boring, and also very tiring.
Bill told Ivan that at the current speed, in another 100 years, they can consume the power of the curse on this wall and enter the back.
As for what's behind the wall, it's preferably undiscovered treasure.
But based on previous experience, it may still be a wall...
The boring level of this so-called spell-breaking work is unimaginable, but every novice survives this way.
Fortunately, Lavier just caught up with this wave of excavation of the sun ruins.
She had been in Fairy Zuo Sai's team before, and was very familiar with the Sun Ruins. This experience allowed her to enter the current team.
Just like what Lavier has always said to Ivan, this is her opportunity, and she must seize it.
If she can't catch it, she can only go back to do the boring cracking work like everyone else!
This girl is probably planning to dedicate her whole life to the cause of Egyptian archaeology, hoping to prove her ability. Again, as long as she can find enough heavyweight treasures in this excavation, she can stay in this team and continue to work hard. Dig at other important newly discovered relics, and even form your own excavation team.
After thinking about it comprehensively, Ivan feels that he should help Lavie as much as he can.
Although we haven't known each other for a long time, Lavie has helped him a lot, and he can't just watch her go back and waste her life...
This is also the main reason why Ivan did not join Paul's alchemy team, but finally accepted Lavier's invitation to join her excavation team. This team is the official excavation team of the Egyptian Ministry of Magic and Gringotts, No. [-] , mainly responsible for the exploration to the east of the second excavation route that Lavier and Aiwen said.
The excavation team consisted of about 25 people, including ten spellbreakers, five goblins, and ten support staff.
There are also four alchemists who were hired like Aiwen this time, forming a 30-member excavation team.
The captain is a goblin with a strange-sounding name called Pendulum.
Zhong Pendulum is a very typical goblin. He had worked at the Gringotts headquarters in the UK for a long time and has rich experience in jewelry and ancient cultural relics appraisal. It was he who tried his best to invite Ivan to join their team, probably because he had been in the UK for a long time. Because of his work, he knew Dumbledore better than other Egyptian wizards and goblins. When he learned that Aiwen was recommended by Dumbledore and Nicole Flamel, he became interested in Aiwen.
He hired Ai Wen for a month, and paid him a thousand gold Galleons.
That is more than 30 Galleons per day, which seems a lot, but considering the current market conditions, it is not very high.
You must know that there are many private teams out there that even offer tens of thousands to recruit alchemists.
However, with the goblin's greed and stinginess, this is definitely a higher price that Gringotts officials are willing to pay at present.
Aiwen inquired privately that the other four alchemists who were hired with him took even less...
This is all he knew after he joined the excavation team. This goblin is really talkative.
Zhong Pendulum and Ivan talked about the excavation work of the Sun Ruins, the alchemy mechanism inside, and the current situation, the impact of Voldemort's return, concerns about the future of Gringotts, and even the legends stored in Hogwarts Magic item "Sword of Gryffindor".
You could tell he was brooding about it.
It is known that this famous sword was made by goblins.
Although Gryffindor paid the reward that year, the goblins have always insisted that they own the ownership of the sword. Gryffindor only has the right to use the sword. After his death, he will return the sword to the goblin.
Probably the other goblins are also like this, always wanting to take this sword back.
Aiwen doesn't think so, that sword has now become a symbol of Gryffindor College, not to mention that after he retrieved the scabbard, the sword possesses extremely strong magical power. Fendor's sword was returned to the goblins, and they could not keep it for long.
The magic Gryffindor left on it allowed every true Gryffindor to pull the sword out of the Sorting Hat.
In addition to having a special hobby for treasures and goblin products, the pendulum generally feels good to Ivan.
But he also knew that what he saw was probably just the appearance.
Goblins are unreliable, and they have a natural hatred for wizards.
Don't look at Zhong Pendulum and Ivan's chat, but no one knows what he thinks in his heart.
In addition, there was a deputy captain sent by the Egyptian Ministry of Magic in the excavation team.
This is an Arab whose name is too long for Ivan to remember, and together with others call him Mr. Saeed.
Mr. Said served as the vice-captain, which was also the main surveillance measure adopted by the Egyptian Ministry of Magic after the Zuo Sai incident.They searched Zuo Sai's vault, and found many cultural relics and ancient magic items that should be handed over, as well as evidence that he resold these items to European pure-blood wizard families.
This made the Egyptian wizards particularly distrust the goblins, and finally had an excuse to intervene in the excavation work.
The Ministry of Magic sent special investigators to every Gringotts excavation team as deputy captains.
But to be honest, even a layman like Ivan thinks that Mr. Said is here to hold back.
First of all, as a typical Arab, he seems to be unable to accept the presence of women in the excavation team. Mr. Saeed has almost never said a word to Lavie, and he has no good looks towards her, even to Lavie. Ivan, whom Ye invited, was also hostile.
Secondly, he seems to hate goblins very much, and he looks angry every time he talks to the pendulum.
