Chapter 125: The Black History of the Federation

The ministry has kept information about this ancient tomb. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Aunt Info writes a note and pulls up the papers, and the magic paper airplane flies away through the crack in the window. Take advantage of this time to introduce them to the ins and outs.

"When the International Confederation of Wizards was first founded, there was no source of funding. We have been instructed to transform famous tombs around the world into tourist attractions. Funding is provided to the federation by collecting tickets and merchandise. ā€

"We've developed a lot of tombs of Muggle kings that have historically been closely associated with wizards, Egyptian wizards have provided three pyramids, and East Asian wizards have provided tombs of two Muggle emperors. But this is not enough, the federation is huge, and this little income can only be supplied to one department. So the first minister, at the behest of the Federation at the time, secretly set up an office and secretly sent people to Africa and Asia to excavate the tombs belonging to the wizard family, which were later discovered and caused a lot of trouble - but the information is still there, and this tomb is one of the few tombs that was not conquered with heavy losses at that time. I was impressed by the loss of more manpower than the pyramid of King Guf. ā€

"No, you're too stupid. Phoenix smiled and said, "The Pyramid of King Gufu was built in 2500 BC, how much magic can it have?"

"You're thinking too simply, that pyramid is a tomb shared by the pharaoh and an Egyptian wizard family. The descendants of the family have continuously strengthened the defense of the ancient tomb. And the ancients were not stupid, they would not have thought of it. In the future, the advancement of magical skills will cause them to set traps and obstacles now, and become worthless in the future. "The aunt obviously told them, "The trap they have set is not something that can be easily accessed with modern magic." ā€

This also makes sense, if the family can be passed on for a long time, it is inevitable that the defense of the ancient tomb will be updated. Because the most valuable thing in the ancient tombs is not the treasure, but the knowledge, that is, all kinds of magic books.

Before the advent of schools, wizarding families who mainly focused on home education valued knowledge more than anything else. Not every family can have powerful magical creatures, in Asia and Africa, the conventional practice is to put books and wealth into the ancient tombs. The large family has a large population, and basically goes to the mausoleum once a year to bury the deceased.

At that time, they would make a copy of the contents of the book with a special magic. The content will disappear after a while, but there will be enough time for future generations to learn, and this method guarantees them a monopoly on magical knowledge.

Therefore, the ancient tombs built by the wizards are very large, because they have to be reused for a long time. Secondly, the defense is extremely strong, and it is impossible to pass alone. And when a large army is dispatched, it will alarm the members of the family - the ancient tomb is usually built in it, not far from the place where the family is stationed - and basically, unless the family blood is cut off, it is difficult to rob the tomb.

Phoenix told Hermione and Harry what he knew.

"So, Voldemort went to that tomb probably because he had received some information during his early travels. At that time, he probably didn't care, he was a genius, and his energy was limited, and it was impossible to delve into everything. The spells in there, if my guess is correct, can give a wizard in a special state a new body, which can help him get out of the current situation. He had already decided that he was going, and when we were chasing, he never changed direction. On the one hand, he was confident that he could get rid of us, and on the other hand, he was in a hurry, and Greif was not a good host. It was not a good thing for two souls to fight in the same body for a long time, and he could not afford to delay the detour. ā€

"No," Auntie shook her finger, "the location of that tomb is a secret from the Ministry, and when we canceled our plan, a Chinese wizard used special magic to hide the location of the tomb. Judging from the news from Sarah, it didn't take him much time to find it, and he must have seen the document. ā€

"Maybe someone in the federation also leaked a secret to him. Harry guessed.

"How he knows the location of the tomb doesn't matter to us. Does that document have a record of the traps and structures in the tomb?" Phoenix interrupted them with a wave of his hand, a mistake in the direction of thought.

"No, only the method of entering the tomb and speculation about the identity of the tomb's owner. Hearing this, Phoenix breathed a sigh of relief, at least they wouldn't pull down Voldemort too much, hoping that the traps in the tomb were sharp enough.

"I advise you not to go," said my aunt solemnly, "and there is a reason we don't have the details inside the tomb. ā€

All three stared at her serious countenance.

"Because no one will come out alive. ā€

Nobody came out alive, which was kind of funny. Phoenix made a lightning analysis and came to the conclusion that first of all, the tomb should have an anti-illusion disfigurement charm, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. Secondly, the process from the time the trap is launched to the wizard's death must have been so fast that the wizard didn't even have time to turn around and run back.

There is an even more frightening speculation. That is, whether the person who entered the tomb carried the door key. Portkeys were created in modern times for wizards who could not apparition (freely disappear into reappearance) and wanted to travel during the day (meaning they couldn't ride a broomstick, Thestrals, Wyvern, or drive a flying car), or if they didn't live in a stove (Floo powder was of little use).

The exact date of invention is vague, and he doesn't know if those people had it at the time. If there were, then the interval between deaths would probably be very short, so short that they would die at almost the same time, otherwise at least a few people would have escaped with serious injuries.

"There's not a bit of news inside," she continued, "and you know what that means?"

It means that the first trap, they all hang. "Phoenix is far farther away than his aunt, "We have to go in, if Voldemort hangs, that's fine-"

He turned to look at Hermione.

"It's going to be easy for us to get that thing. ā€

"Are you sure we can handle that trap?" Hermione said suspiciously, glancing cautiously at his aunt, "if the Federation has sent several batches of people, then the trap must be reused, what shall we do?"

"It's okay, we're definitely fine. Phoenix said lightly.

"Why?"

"Because I'm much better than Voldemort. ā€

Harry grinned, feeling that he was really unashamed. If he was really stronger than Voldemort, how could he have let Voldemort go before.

"It was bad luck before, otherwise I would have won. Phoenix sighed and added, "Don't believe me. If you run into him again, don't make a move, Harry, I'll go head-to-head. If you don't solve him in 60 seconds, count me as losing. ā€

"No, I believe you. Hermione said seriously, "Then we might be able to drink a little elixir before we go." ā€

At this time, the paper airplane flew back with a small cloth bag.
