Chapter 825: Gringotts Egypt

Walking through the old street, Aven saw the bustling crowds, which was a commercial street. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Unlike the pleasing and glittering shops of Diagon Alley, the shops here are small houses made of yellow rock and brick, and on the outside is a protruding green tent, and the shopkeepers have put out a lot of things to sell along the street.

Some of the items they sell are the same as Diagon Alley, but there are many spellcasting materials that the UK doesn't have, and Aven has even seen a lot of cursed items from Africa, many of which he doesn't know exactly what they're used for, but they have a lot of magic on them.

"In Egypt, weapons and black magic are not as strictly controlled as in Europe, and witchcraft is prevalent in Africa!" Bill explains, "and of course, you won't see anything too evil or too powerful here." ”

"Interesting spells indeed. Evan said, looking at a huge statue of the pharaoh outside the shop.

Magic from Europe, witchcraft from Africa, special spells from the Arab world, and the ancient magical civilization of Egypt itself have come together to form a very special and unique system of spells in the largest country in Africa.

Even if you hang out here for a month, you won't get bored.

Finally, on Bill's recommendation, Fleur, Hermione, and Gabrielle bought a scarab amulet that was said to be very effective, made entirely of talc and covered with emerald glaze, which was bright and mysterious.

On top of that, Hermione and Gabrielle bought spices and sweets to take back to their friends.

Aven buys a bone supposedly soaked in voodoo in a gloomy shop, and prepares to take it back to study the magic on it.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't take it with him, he would have wanted to buy back the horrible mummy that the shopkeeper had tried to recommend to him, tightly wrapped in strips of cloth and twine, and which had a much stronger voodoo smell than the one on the bone in his hand.

Witchcraft and voodoo are a special branch of magic that is very popular in Europe and Southeast Asia.

This is a strange magical power that is closer to nature, and it needs to be cast through a medium, this medium is a voodoo doll, and voodoo dolls have different shapes, like the bone that Evan bought is one of them, the more primitive one.

There are also a variety of materials used to make voodoo dolls, depending on the purpose of the spell, it can be made of animal bones, straw, metal, stone, or the body of a human skin or other magical creature......

With the hideous voodoo dolls and the mysterious weirdness of the rituals, most wizards consider witchcraft to be evil black magic.

But in fact, there are many kinds of witchcraft, and there are many spells related to revenge, harm, and hatred, but there are also spells related to love, success, luck, health, protection, and evil spirits.

For example, the pendant on Aven's wrist, which has natural shamanic powers, is also a type of witchcraft.

"We're here, Gringotts!" said Bill, pointing to the tall, snow-white buildings that look exactly like Gringotts in Diagon Lane, "Come on, just register you four explorers and take you to the other ruins." ”

Hermione explains to Gabrielle what an explorer is, and Aven's attention shifts to the gleaming bronze gate.

It is also engraved with a warning text, which is more Egyptian than the British: Please enter, stranger, put away your greedy heart, and anyone who enters this building with an impure heart, the Grim Reaper will strangle him by the neck like a bird......

"Gringotts has business all over the world, but Egypt is a key region, and the elves have a lot more power here. Bill said, leading them through the tall marble halls.

Like Gringotts in Diagon Alley, about a hundred or so elves sat on high stools behind a long row of counters, some weighing coins on copper scales, others examining gems with eyepieces, and hastily registering them in large ledgers.

In the side hall, there are many goblins and wizards busy around a large pile of ancient artifacts.

One of them, dressed in a black suit, seemed to be the leader, he was a little taller than the others, his face was full of wrinkles, and his temples were gray.

He was there yelling and directing others to do this and that, and as long as someone moved a little slower, it was ugly and insulting.

"Those are artifacts that have just been excavated from the ruins, and they are in the process of registering them. Bill said.

"Who's that goblin?" Hermione asked, frowning, "the one with a bad attitude." ”

"He is Zosai, one of the heads of Gringotts in Egypt, the best spell breaker, and the most senior adventurer, and there are many ancient ruins that he led the team to excavate. Bill whispered, "Of course, his attitude is not very good, there are many rumors......"

"I'm sorry, please give way!"

Evan turned his head and saw a girl hurrying over with a large pile of drawings.

She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and her skin was dark, a brown color like milk chocolate.

The hair is black and seems to be very long, and the strands are tied with leather ropes in a wonderful shape.

Her facial features are quite upright, the tails of her eyes are slightly raised, which looks like the eyes of a bobcat, the thin bridge of the nose is quite straight, the cherry-like mouth is a faint pink, and the lines of her cheeks are blended to make her still look a little childish.

The girl is dressed in a typical Arabic style, with a more colorful headscarf intertwined with beautiful and intricate patterns.

She is full of great power, it should be said that she is primordial vitality, full of vitality.

Overall, this is a very beautiful girl, and Aven's eyes fell on the decorations on her.

She wore a necklace around her neck with white horns or teeth strung on it, a bracelet on her wrist, a shrunken wooden doll underneath, and a leather scabbard knife and wand around her waist.

He suddenly became interested in this guy, these things are not just decorations, they must be used to cast witchcraft.

The magic on it was stronger than all the items he had seen in the shop outside.

"Hello, Lavier!" Bill said, leaning sideways to let her over, "still looking so energetic." ”

"Hello, Mr. Weasley, aren't you on vacation today?" the girl paused, seemingly recognizing Bill.

"Yes, I'm taking my friends to Gringotts for a visit. Bill said, introducing Evan, Hermione, Fleur, and Gabrielle to her, "This is Ravier, Gringotts' new Spellbreaker practitioner this year, and Karnak, an Egyptian school of magic and wizardry. ”

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, I ......," Lavier said with a smile, and the goblin in the side hall let out another terrible growl, and she stuck out her tongue, "I must pass, this is the blueprint that Mr. Zossay has requested." ”
