Chapter 837: Lavier's thoughts
The topic shifted to Fairy Zoser, because of Bill's introduction, Fleur, Hermione, and Gabrielle didn't have a good impression of him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I don't like that goblin. Gabrielle said, wrinkling her nose, "He looks cunning." ”
"Elves are mostly like that, not to be trusted...... Fleur said.
In the history of magic, goblins have been trying to rebel against the rule of human wizards, they have rebelled or rebelled for various reasons, causing a lot of trouble in the wizarding world, they are very smart and good at dealing with wizards, and house-elves are the two extremes.
Although nominally subject to the Ministry of Magic's management and no freedom, in reality this control has ceased to exist in name only.
Hermione once hoped that the house-elves would learn from the elves and protect their rights.
"Mr. Zosai may not have a good temper, but he is very knowledgeable about Egyptian history and ancient magical artifacts, and he is also very good at breaking all kinds of curses, and he can learn a lot from him. "That's why I decided to join his excavation team." ”
"Have you heard those rumors?" Hermione continued, after a moment's hesitation, "about the fact that someone on his digging team is always dead or missing......
"Have you heard about this too?" Lavier was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face faded, "yes, there have always been such rumors, the Ministry of Magic has investigated him many times, but there has been no evidence. ”
"He did it so carefully that no one else knew. Bill said, looking away from the sun's ruins excavation drawings and joining them in the conversation, "Spell solver work is inherently dangerous, casualties are common, and Zosai is good at pulling himself out of trouble, but these things do happen......"
"I know all of this, Mr. Weasley, and I've been reminded by a lot of people. "I have a very good friend who joined the digging team of the left side and never came back. ”
No one spoke, and it seems that it was not so simple for Lavier to join the Zuosai digging team.
She seems to want to gather evidence to avenge her friend, but has not found anything until now.
"I hope you don't talk about it, I won't give up until the truth is investigated. Lavier reasserted, clenching his fists, "This exploration of the Sun Ruins is an opportunity, I see a portrait of Anubis on the wall......"
Anubis is the guide and guardian of the undead, and its appearance often heralds the need for sacrifices by the souls of the living.
If Zuo Sai wants to get the final treasure, he will inevitably do it to others, and there will be evidence at that time.
Hermione looked at Lavier in surprise, she didn't expect the girl with a smile on her face to have such an idea, risking her life to gather evidence for Zuosai......
"If there's anything you need help with, just speak up and we'll help you. Bill sighed and said, "Anyway, you have to remember that Zosey is a dangerous guy, and you guys should be careful not to separate from each other in this excavation of the Sun Ruins." ”
After discussing various rumors about Zosai for a while, the topic eventually changed to the sun ruins that were being excavated.
"The Sun Ruins, located in the heart of the city of Peer-Ramses, is a large structure that has been buried under a thick layer of gravel, and for thousands of years the sand has been unsuccessfully filled back into the excavated bunkers whenever people tried to excavate it. "In Egypt, the sorcerers called the sands an impenetrable shadow of oblivion. ”
"Why don't you use magic to remove the grit?" asked Gabrielle.
"Because the yellow sand itself is enchanted, acting as a natural barrier against intruders. "It wasn't until a while ago that the explorers discovered a passage into it that this ancient ruin was revealed." ”
"If you look at this picture, the first floor of the Sun Ruins is very large, and the buildings inside are intricately constructed, with all kinds of precious ancient relics, terrible curses, and automatic defense systems everywhere. Lavier's finger ran over the drawing, pointing to the narrow lines at the edges, and said, "After some exploration, we discovered a secret passage full of scarabs, which Mr. Zossay speculated might lead to the central area. ”
"Central area?!"
"Yes, this secret passage lies beneath a statue of Isis, the goddess who guards the dead. "Through that passageway, we entered the underground area of the Sun Ruins, where we found many valuable antiquities, a stone door and three huge obelisks representing the sun, the moon and the stars. ”
The obelisk is the most distinctive piece of ancient Egyptian architecture outside of the pyramids.
It has a spire-shaped shape that gradually shrinks from the bottom to the top, and the tip resembles a pyramid spire, often wrapped in gold, copper, or gold-silver alloys, and some magical obelisks are topped with exotic crystals, gems, and various types of Mithril ore.
Usually, the obelisk is built in the most prominent places.
It is carved from a single block of granite, weighs hundreds of tons, and is engraved on all sides with intricate hieroglyphs or spell runes praising the gods and pharaohs.
When the sun rises and hits the tip of the monument, it will shine like a dazzling sun.
It was the first time Hermione, Fleur, and Gabrielle had heard of the construction of an obelisk deep underground, and Bill was intrigued.
No matter how you look at it, the Sun Ruins are extraordinary, and there may be important treasures hidden inside.
"We've looked into it, and the way to open the stone door is on those three obelisks. "It's not the magic we are familiar with, it's alchemy, and you have to use the skills of alchemy to unlock this mechanism. ”
"So Zosey found Aven?" asked Hermione, staring carefully at the blueprint in front of her.
"I guess so, we went back to Cairo to repair this time, just to find an alchemist or a wizard who is proficient in alchemy, and we have invited a few of them before. "I didn't expect that Mr. Dorsey would invite Mr. Mason ......."
He said it was because of Nicol Lemay's letters, but Aven was really strong at that. ”
Hermione thought for a moment, but still told her what she had speculated about last night and listened to Lavier's opinion.
"You can draw these inferences just by looking at the materials?!" Lavier looked at Hermione with admiration, "There is also speculation in the excavation team about what you said, because we didn't find the statue of the sun god in the sun ruins, but all the statues of the gods who guarded the dead, and the curse in them was also very powerful, and many people had died." ”
She told them a few more things, all because of the example of the tragic death of the Curse.
When they passed through the secret passage full of scarab beetles, the first two people who went in were drilled into their bodies by insects, and if they didn't react quickly enough to dig out the flesh and insects together, they might be eaten up by those scarab beetles.
In the end, they set fire to the road for several days before they were able to pass through the road.
Lavier is unconcerned about the danger, and she seems to think that the more dangerous she is, the more she will be able to expose the left.
If Evan was here, he would have told her that he didn't have to bother, he had already solved the problem!
Under the effect of the elixir, Zosai told all his past crimes, and now he just needs to make these things public.
