Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure
Page 542
For example, the Great Pyramid and the tombs in the Valley of the Kings have been excavated for three centuries since they were discovered.
But until now, there are still countless curses in the pyramid.
In the same way, an ancient magic relic of the scale of the Sun Ruins will take at least a few centuries...
The goblins couldn't wait for such a long time, they could not wait to get the treasure in the ruins immediately.
It is not impossible to use Gold Galleons to allow the higher-ups of the Ministry of Magic to give them some convenience within the loopholes allowed by the law.
Not to mention, there may also be a collection of the "Sun Golden Sutra" in the sun ruins.
This magic book can give people eternal life, no wizard can resist this temptation.
It is simply impossible for someone to say that the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic have no idea about this magic book.
If this magic book is really found, then the biggest beneficiaries are them.
Since Voldemort's return, the poor performance of Fudge and the British Ministry of Magic has made Ivan see through the essence of those politicians.
Judging from the current situation, the Egyptian Ministry of Magic is similar here.
It's just that the Egyptian pure-blood wizard family is weaker, replaced by goblins and Gringotts.
That's why so many adventurers are allowed to enter the Sun Ruins.
They don't know how to dig, they don't know how to break spells, and they don't even know the history of ancient Egypt.
These adventurers only know how to destroy, and get the treasures in the ruins by means of destruction...
Looking at these fierce-looking adventurers with tools on their bodies, Aiwen knew that the destruction and crimes in this secret room were going on in unknown places throughout the Sun Ruins, but because of this crime, Let the excavation progress of the entire ruins be much faster.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt sick.
He was fed up with both the adventurers and the goblins and Ministry dignitaries who sheltered their mischief.
Aiwen was not interested in looking around, and he followed Lavie into the secret passage under the statue of the goddess Isis.
When this secret passage was first discovered, it was full of scarabs, but now it is empty, with only obvious traces of being burned by flames...
After entering the secret room through the secret passage, three huge obelisks appeared in front of him.
Chapter 1198 The Unclean Obelisk
The exit of the secret passage is located on a semicircular stone platform protruding from the wall. Standing here, you can have a clear view of the situation below.
The whole room is very large, the walls around are covered with murals, and there are wizards below.
Three huge obelisks stand in the center, forming a triangle.
The three obelisks are the Obelisk of the Sun, the Obelisk of the Moon and the Obelisk of the Stars.
Aiwen can recognize it without Laviere's introduction.
It is easily identifiable because the sun, moon and star symbols are carved on the top of the three obelisks.
They are almost parallel to Aiwen's current height, and they can be seen without much effort.
These three eye-catching marks are made of turquoise jade. Under the light of the torch, the jade shone with a strange brilliance, making it impossible to ignore. The wizards, like Ivan, are staring at these three marks...
It is undeniable that against the background of jade marks, the three giant obelisks are full of simplicity, mystery and grandeur.
But Aiwen's eyes moved down to the obelisk, and the first feeling was uncomfortable.
The uncomfortable part is not some weird shape, but the color of all the rocks that build the obelisk.
"You didn't tell me that these three obelisks are red and black!" Ivan said to Lavie.
"Oh, I don't think it's something worth noting. Although rocks of this color are rare in Egypt, it was not too difficult for Ramses II to get a few of them." Lavier He replied, seeming a little surprised why Ivan asked this, "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"
Ai Wen shook his head, and he couldn't tell what was wrong, he just felt uncomfortable.
The main rocks of the three obelisks in front of us are not pure colors, but strange colors of red and black.
Generally speaking, the black can be more, which seems to be the texture of the rock itself, and the red spots on it are less.
Moreover, the spots vary in size and are unevenly distributed.
Aiwen didn't know why this happened. Generally speaking, this kind of rock was an inferior stone and would not be used to build obelisks.
Not to mention, it's this kind of important obelisk located in the Sun Ruins...
Ancient Egyptian wizards were very picky. Even pure black obsidian would not be used to build obelisks that demonstrate merit and power.
Normally, they use golden yellow, which is the most sacred color.
Strange colors, this is what Ivan thinks these three obelisks are abnormal.
The wizards of ancient Egypt made this kind of stone into obelisks and placed them here. It must be useful. It can’t be a whim, or simply because of the unique aesthetics of the builders. It’s not that they don’t understand art, but they certainly don’t. It will be so avant-garde and abstract.
As in other regions, in ancient Egyptian magical civilization, variegated colors often indicate uncleanness!
"Is it unclean?" Looking at the obelisk, Ai Wen whispered, "Is it polluted?"
Also, to his discomfiture, the red and black spots on the obelisk seemed to be the color of clotted blood.
Blood, an obelisk stained with blood, a symbol of impurity!
This is not a good idea. Following this line of thought, the more he looked at the three obelisks, the more weird he felt.
Even with that, the whole secret room made people feel very uncomfortable.
Ivan sniffed hard, and followed Lavie down.
There were people everywhere under the room, and there were probably more than 200 wizards crowded in front of the obelisk.
Most of them are wizards proficient in alchemy, trying to see something from these three obelisks.
Some wizards waved their wands at the obelisk and muttered words, not knowing what kind of magic they were using.
Some were constantly recording something on the parchment they carried with them, and more people were discussing and pointing at the obelisk.
"Lavier, Ivan, here!" The pendulum sounded from the crowd.
He was standing in front of the Sun Obelisk with four other hired alchemists, and beside him were three goblins.
"You have been to the Vault of God!" he said, "how, did you find anything?"
"I didn't find anything special, but I just felt very spectacular." Ivan replied, "The statues of the gods are beyond my imagination."
"Yeah, this relic is beyond everyone's imagination!" Pendulum nodded, as if he was a little disappointed that Aiwen and the others didn't find anything, "Regardless of scale or level, the relic of the sun is one of the ancient magic relics discovered so far. The tallest and largest, I believe, is the most important temple and palace built by Ramses II."
"Absolutely, there must be a lot of treasures here!" Another goblin said.
His words were endorsed by the other goblins, and they all echoed.
"The innumerable wealth is ours, as long as we can break those damn curses or the alchemy mechanism in front of us."
"It's just a matter of time!"
"Let's talk about it first. According to the previous agreement, whichever excavation team discovers whose item belongs to it, other teams are not allowed to snatch it."
"Of course, it has to be like this!" said Zhong Pendulum, turning around and looking at Aiwen eagerly, "Aiwen, come to me quickly, take a look at this obelisk, and see if you can find anything from it, That's your forte."
There seems to be some agreement between these goblins, and the treasures that have not been found have been divided.
The goblins are not as united as the wizards imagined, and there is also a competitive relationship.
"Oh my god, pendulum, this kid is the alchemist you hired, right?!" A dark-faced goblin shouted deliberately in an exaggerated tone, and looked at Ai Wen maliciously, "I thought He is an intern of your team!"
"Ivan is the alchemist I hired, is there any problem with that, Raph?" Zhong Pendulum asked, looking at each other warily.
"Question? Do you want to say that he knows alchemy?!" the goblin named Ralph said loudly, "This is the biggest joke I've heard this year. Can't you find a better alchemist? Or don't want to pay money?"
"I also think this kid is too young, he's still in school, right?" Another goblin said objectively.
"Yes, I'm a student at Hogwarts, and I can start OwLs courses at the beginning of next year!" Ivan said, without intending to explain anything.
He took two steps up, stood where the pendulum was just now, and carefully observed the obelisk of the sun in front of him.
Not to mention the uncomfortable color, the Sun Obelisk is the tallest of the three obelisks, and the style is the simplest.
The entire obelisk is a square cone-shaped stone pillar engraved with hieroglyphs and ancient runes.
It is worth noting that the center of each side is separated by a vertical columnar red crystal.
The top of the red crystal is connected with the sun mark made of jade, and the bottom extends to the ground.
Strange, Ivan didn't notice just now, why is this columnar red crystal inlaid on the obelisk?
Here's another anomaly, and those red and black spots on the obelisk...
Chapter 1199 Blood and Red Crystal
Seeing that Aiwen was really studying the Sun Obelisk, the goblin named Ralph sneered disdainfully.
He and the other goblins questioned Ivan's strength and laughed at the pendulum for hiring him.
The pendulum was arguing with Ralph, but he didn't tell the specific origin of Ivan, such as he was a student of Nicole Flamel, the information that Lemay and Dumbledore recommended him to come, etc., and he didn't know that the pendulum was because of Disdainful, I still kept an eye out, not wanting to expose Aiwen's strength.
On the contrary, Ralph could not say anything when he watched the pendulum turn over and over again. He said triumphantly that he hired a very powerful alchemist from Italy, and called her to compare with Ivan.
Ivan has no interest in comparing anything, he is studying this obelisk of the sun.
It was too far away to see clearly.
Now that he is close, he can clearly see that the spots on the Sun Obelisk seem to be chaotic, but there is a certain distribution pattern. They extend around from the red jade pillar in the middle, and some places even if separated Open, there will be a lighter red and black area in between.
It's impossible to spot without looking carefully.
Aiwen took another step forward and carefully confirmed the traces on the obelisk, which was indeed the case.
This feeling is like the trace left by red ink volatilized and dried on the black rock.
This is certainly not a coincidence, Ivan looked up and observed the expressions of other wizards around him.
No one seems to have noticed this except him.
They were all looking at the jade mark on the top of the obelisk, or the ancient runes and patterns on the obelisk, hoping to find some useful information from it.
Leaving aside the jade marks, those ancient runic scripts and patterns are so profound and complex that it is impossible to understand what they mean.
Ivan only glanced at it, and stopped researching.
He can be sure that he can't understand it, it's beyond the scope of his ability, and it's impossible to break the magic above.
But unlike these ancient magic texts, the information he just discovered is crucial.
It may reveal the secrets of these three obelisks, from another unexpected angle.
On the obelisk of the sun, blood-stained, irregularly distributed red and black spots can be seen everywhere, the red crystal column in the center, and the area between the two left traces left after the dark red volatilized and dried up...
What do these unusual places represent?
Ivan stared at the red and black spots on the obelisk, pondered for a while, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated.
He thought of a possibility, a terrible possibility!
These three obelisks are not used to show glory, but are indeed magical organs.
But probably no one can think that they are a symbol of uncleanness, and there are terrible evils hidden behind them.
Those red and black spots on the main body of the obelisk are not the texture of the rock itself, but the traces left by some external things that have been instilled into the obelisk, maybe red paint, magic power, or just blood!
Of course, this is just his guess, he wants to see what the other two obelisks look like.
Across the crowd, Aiwen looked towards the Moon Obelisk and Star Obelisk on the other side.
The Lunar Obelisk is slightly smaller than the Solar Obelisk, and about ten feet lower in height.
There are also many red crystals on the stone pillars of the main body of the obelisk, but they are not straight up and down in a column shape.
The red crystal is tilted left and right according to a certain angle, and the end is connected with each other, dividing the obelisk of the moon into irregular areas.
The upper part of the red crystal touches the moon mark, and the lower part extends to the ground.
Without looking closely, the red and black spots on the Moon Obelisk must also be centered on these crystals.
As for the last obelisk, it is the most unique and the shortest of the three obelisks.
Or, more precisely, an obelisk complex of many obelisks.
The tallest one is only about half the height of the Sun Obelisk, with the marks of the stars on it.
Around this obelisk, there are many small square pillars, all of which are smaller obelisks.
