Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

It turned out to be like this, goblins are really stingy to the extreme, it's really not easy to take advantage of them.

"Greedy goblin!" he whispered.

"That's right, but they can still communicate. As long as gold is not involved, goblins are not bad creatures. To be honest, wizards like Mr. Said are much stronger. You just saw them, and those stupid Muggles have a strong prejudice against women." Lavier said, wrinkling his nose, as if thinking of something, did not continue, "Now is not the time to talk about these, let's go to the Dome of God to see Bar."

"Don't you have to wait for others?"

"No, the pendulum told me before, he asked me to show you around first, and then go to the obelisk to meet." Lavie said, "Come on, I dare say you will definitely be shocked .”

Under her leadership, Aiwen left the temporary platform through a corridor.

This corridor seems to be a gap in the rock wall, and it is dark inside, but there is no need to worry about falling or getting lost.

Because it was too narrow, Aiwen almost walked past the walls on both sides.

As soon as he came out of the corridor, his eyes suddenly opened up.

What appeared in front of Aiwen was a cyan quaint stone door with carved patterns on it, surrounded by eight huge circular columns, a full four hundred feet high, and each column was carved with exquisite pharaoh reliefs.

The statue wears the unique snake-shaped crown of the Pharaoh, and it is the image of a young and handsome boy.His hands are wrapped around his chest. Unlike the pharaohs holding hooks and shackles that Ivan saw before, the young pharaoh in front of him holds a scepter in his left hand, surrounded by gems at the top, and a magic wand in his right hand.

"This is Ramses II!" Lavier whispered, "During his reign, he was a god, at least as powerful as we understand God. Well, Alvin, don't take those stairs, and don't get close That front door, the curse on it has not been broken, we will pass through that place."

She pointed to the right, and Aiwen saw an entrance opened on the wall next to the gate.

There the wizards built a ramp that can be walked down.

Ivan raised his head and glanced at Ramses II on the pillar again, trying to engrave this young pharaoh in his mind.

Then, he followed Lavie to the gap in the wall.

"In addition to the statues of the gods, there are many statues of Ramses II in the Sun Ruins." Lavier whispered as he walked, "Remember, you must speak softly in front of the statue of Ramses II. Also, don't say disrespectful words."

"Why? Are you still afraid that he won't hear you?"

Ivan noticed the expression on Laviere's face, and a somewhat absurd idea came to his mind.

An ancient warlock more than 3000 years ago, no matter how powerful he was, even if he used to be a spellcaster comparable to the gods, now there is nothing left, only commemorative statues, but Lavier It seemed that he was afraid of being heard by him.

"I'm just afraid of being heard by him!" Lavier said solemnly, "Ramesses II may not be dead, have you forgotten that he is considered the owner of the "Sun Golden Sutra", in this book Records the secret of eternal life..."

"But the tomb of Ramses II is in the Valley of the Kings, and even the mummy has been found. How could he be alive?!" Aiwen said, "The "Sun Golden Sutra" records eternal life, but it is just a legend."

"Everyone says that, anyway, it's never wrong to be careful." Lavier shook his head disapprovingly.

Aiwen discovered that most wizards are superstitious, and believers have some strange customs that have been passed down somehow.

It's as if Neville and Ron still believe that amethyst will bring good luck, ominousness really exists, and water salamander tail can exorcise evil spirits. They also vowed to Ivan that this is common sense in the magic world...

He couldn't correct Lavier's understanding, and he didn't intend to say anything disrespectful in front of the statue of Ramses II. Aiwen and Lavier walked into the Dome of God through the narrow gap. In the next second, He found himself in a hall of unimaginable size.

Tens of thousands of torches hung on the walls on both sides, barely illuminating the entire hall.

Aiwen felt that his eyes were not enough, and there were statues of gods on both sides of the hall. Although he had known from Lavier that there were many ancient Egyptian gods here, the number he saw was still far beyond his imagination. The number exceeds two hundred.

Each of them was as tall as the statue of Ramses II seen outside, between four and five hundred feet.

The movements and expressions of the gods are different, and they are either animals or animals with human heads.

At the front of the Dome of God, there is still the statue of Ramses II.

He is bigger than other god statues, sitting upright, with a solemn and solemn expression, holding the wand with his right hand across his chest, his left hand holding the handle of the throne, and the clothes he wears are engraved with hieroglyphs and spell runes .

On the ground, patterns and runes made of brown jade are scattered throughout the hall.

You can see that there are lights flashing on it from time to time...

Chapter 1196 Ruins and Gods

These flashes of light on the jade indicate that the original magic in the hall is still working.

But it was not triggered. It doesn't look like a defensive spell. It may never be triggered again in the future!

Until hundreds or thousands of years later, the magic power dissipated completely, and jade became an ordinary decoration.

"This hall is really shocking beyond imagination." Aiwen sighed, he lowered his head to study the patterns on the jade on the ground for a while, his eyes followed the flashing brilliance from time to time, but soon got lost in the magic runes responsible for the mystery , have no clue.

Two years ago, he had seen similar magic atop the centaur temple in the Forbidden Forest.

It was left by Gryffindor, which can absorb the power of the stars and gather it into the Philosopher's Stone.

Ivan was still amazed at the power of Gryffindor and the scale of that magic.

But now it seems that compared with the magic made of these jades, the scale of the magic circle is too small!

Magic on this scale is simply a miracle for wizards today.

From the expressions on the faces of the wizards in the hall who came here for the first time like myself, and who were measuring and recording the magic runes on the ground, it can be seen that they can't believe that this is a magic...

Ai Wen took a deep breath and stopped looking at the jade on the ground.

He asked Lavier beside him, "Did Gringotts find anything here?"

"Not too much, at least I didn't find the treasure that the fairies hoped for. The Vault of God is the first hall after entering the Sun Ruins. Generally speaking, there won't be any valuable things." He said while walking, "The twelve excavation teams in charge of this place have inspected all the places and found no abnormal magic or hidden secret passages. Their task now is to break the curse on the door leading to the inside of the ruins. "

The goblins have never been archaeologists, their focus is on the treasures in the ruins.

Of course, most of the ancient relics are of great value, and when the Gringotts excavation team encounters these things, they will also excavate them and sell them to the Egyptian Ministry of Magic, the Muggle government, or any organization or individual who is interested in these things.

Like the statues of the gods in the Dome of God and the magic on the ground, they don't have much value in their eyes!

It's worthless, and it can't be transported away, so it will naturally be handled by wizards from the Ministry of Magic...

However, as Lavier said, by visiting here, Ivan has a deeper understanding of the entire Sun Ruins and the ancient Egyptian god system.

"Although there is no treasure here, it has high research value. Scholars, ancient runes researchers, magic historians and Muggle archaeologists will be interested in this place." Lavier continued, "To You know, there are 221 statues of gods in the entire Dome of God, except for the important gods I told you before, all the statues of other gods are here, this is the first time in history that..."

"Yeah!" Ivan raised his head and looked at these tall statues, as well as the wizard who was in charge of repairing them.

The temples and temples built by Ramses II have always been famous for their grandeur and majesty.

But these stone statues in front of him are completely beyond Ivan's imagination, they are too big, and his height can only reach the instep of the statue.

Correspondingly, in front of these stone statues, Aiwen also clearly felt the fragility and insignificance of human beings.

The walls behind the statue are beautifully painted with murals, including stories of the gods, religious ceremonies, commemorative scenes and inscriptions describing the battle of the pharaoh's army, and images of Ramses II using magic.

The dome is inlaid with jade like the ground, forming complex magical runes.

In the front and middle of the hall are statues of ancient Egyptian gods, and in the deepest part is a raised stone platform.

The wide staircase goes up step by step, stone pillars stand around the stone platform, and group sculptures of warriors in armor stand neatly and symmetrically beside the stone pillars.

In the middle of the stone platform is the sitting and reclining statue of Ramses II that Ivan saw at a glance.

Now that we are up close, we can observe the statue more clearly.

Its whole body is carved from obsidian, which restores the appearance and shape of Ramses II extremely realistically.

A few accessories on the statue, Ivan speculates that they should be powerful magic equipment.

There are also hieroglyphs on the clothes. This should be the oldest ancient rune at present. There are many characters in it. Ivan has seen it in "The Book of Abraham", which is the part that he has not yet been able to decipher.

The same text, is there any connection between them?

What do these messages left by Ramses II represent?

Could it be a powerful magic spell?

There are many questions, but I am afraid no one can give the answer.

Deciphering the ancient runes of the ancient Egyptian period has always been the most difficult part of the entire excavation work.

The once powerful civilization has disappeared, and people now have no way of knowing what the characters they left behind represent, especially the ancient runes, which are far more difficult than ordinary hieroglyphics.

The same principle can also be applied to those magic books.

Ivan doesn't understand why so many people want to find the "Golden Book of the Sun" and "Black Book of the Dead". These two magic books are legendary magic items. They may help the caster obtain eternal life or summon the dead, but even if they find It's useless not to know the ancient runes above...

Just like "The Book of Abraham", as a well-known magic book at the same time, Ivan still doesn't know what to say, how to use the magic in it, and can only use the passive effect of this book to restrain evil gods.

Standing on the stone platform and looking back, the situation of the entire hall is fully in the eyes.

An ancient and mysterious atmosphere permeated the Vault of God, almost making people breathless.

"Based on the cultural relics and murals found so far, historians of magic and the goblins of Gringotts speculate that the Dome of the Gods is a banquet hall, where Ramses II entertained the priests and monks of the gods," Lavier said. .

Undoubtedly, if it is only used to entertain priests and monks, and to carry out religious celebrations, the space of the Dome of God is too large.

Aiwen learned a lot of hidden history from his conversation with the time titan Chronos.

The age before Ramses II was the age when the gods were active.

At that time, the powerful ancient warlocks had not yet begun to slaughter gods.

Perhaps Ramses II was here to entertain the gods, the real gods.

Standing on the platform, in a trance, Aiwen felt that he could see the picture of the gods gathering here.

Behind the side of the stone platform where Ramses II was located, there were more than [-] wizards under the command of five goblins to crack the curse leading to the stone gate inside the ruins, using the method Ivan saw in the Great Pyramid before, The wizards will use a curse to consume the power of various curses on the stone gate a little bit.

This method is stupid, but it is the safest way to break if you are not sure what curse is on the door.

Chapter 1197 Three Obelisks

The wizards waved their wands, and spells of white light flew towards the huge stone gate.

The magic collided with the curse above, emitting a dazzling purple light.

"These magics are almost useless." Ivan said, observing carefully for a while.

Although he has not yet figured out the specific use of the magic circle laid in the hall, it is obvious that part of the magic power is transported to the stone gate in front of him through the jade on the ground and the dome to supplement the power consumed on the stone gate. If this problem is not solved, wizards The cracking work is completely useless.

"It will consume some power of the curse, although it is negligible!" Lavier said, "According to the current speed, it will take at least ten years to open this stone door and enter the rear area."

"Too slow, is there no other way?"

"There is no good way to crack it. Other spells will cause the counterattack of the curse. There are only a few kinds of spells that can consume their magic power a little bit. The goblins originally planned to open a crack in the wall, but the Ministry of Magic did not agree to do so, so the whole There are no people in the Vault of God, and everyone is gathered in the No. [-] excavation area."

As Lavier said, compared with the slightly deserted Dome of God, the No. [-] excavation area is much more lively.

As soon as Aiwen and Lavier got off the trolley, they saw that the temporary platform was full of people. The wizards who were participating in the International Alchemy Conference not long ago almost gathered here. In addition, there were people from Adventurers from around the world, goblins from Gringotts and the official dig team.

There was a lot of voices on the platform, and the wizards looked around with great interest.

They discussed and carefully observed the surrounding ancient buildings from time to time.

The wizards are waiting in line to enter the No. [-] excavation area. There is a narrow hole on the inside of the platform.

It was left by the previous adventurers when they discovered the Sun Ruins, and it is also the entrance to the interior of the ruins.

Above the hole, a metal pipe was installed through the thick gravel.

This is the passage that Lavier and the others used to enter the Sun Ruins last year, but it has been closed now!

Below is an open pit, you can go down with a rope...

Ivan and Lavie waited for more than 20 minutes before it was their turn.

Down the rope, below the platform is a small, badly damaged chamber.

The original intruders destroyed and plundered the room. The exquisite statues were pushed to the ground, and their true colors could not be seen. Shocking potholes were destroyed by magic on the walls, which seemed to have been burned, and they could be seen everywhere. The marks left when jewels, gold, etc. were pried off walls and idols with sharp tools...

The main entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is intact, but there are numerous potholes in the walls and floor leading to other areas of the ruins.

In the left corner, is the statue of the goddess Isis.

In ancient Egypt, she was one of the most important gods, worshiped as an ideal mother and wife, mother and protector of Horus, as well as a friend of slaves, sinners, artisans and oppressed, known as Protector of the dead and young children.

At this moment, the statue of the goddess was also ruthlessly pushed down, only half of the gorgeous wings remained, and the scepter and head held in the hand did not know where to go, and even the ground under the feet was dug open. The secret passage to the room of the three obelisks is there.

"The secret passage was discovered by Mr. Zuo Sai, but when we came in, this place has become like this." Lavier said in a dissatisfied tone, "Those adventurers don't care about any rules or curses, and don't even care about their own lives. All they want is treasure, they are a group of idiots who are more greedy than goblins, in order to find the treasure, they will do whatever it takes, look around, it is all destroyed by those people..."

"The Ministry of Magic allowed them to do this?" Ivan asked in surprise.

"It is prohibited by law, but the law also stipulates that as long as registered adventurers can explore the ancient magic relics in Egypt, the Ministry of Magic and Gringotts cannot prevent them from entering, as long as they are not destroying cultural relics." If they are caught, the Aurors have nothing to do." Lavie said, "In fact, those adventurers use sabotage methods, which the higher-ups are happy to see..."

"I'm glad to see you!" Ivan blinked, as if he understood something.

"Yeah, that's why the sun ruins are so chaotic, but not even an Auror can be seen." Lavier said in a low voice, "There are many rumors, but this has almost become the unspoken rule of excavating the ruins!"

This kind of thing suddenly sounds very puzzling, but combined with the regular work of breaking the curse in the Vault of God just now, it is not difficult to understand why the high-level Egyptian magic circles have attitudes towards these adventurers who destroy ancient relics ambiguous.

You must know that with the current level of magic, it may take dozens or hundreds of years to complete the complete excavation of a large ruin with the normal method of breaking the spell.
