Chapter 1183: Self-destruction

Inside the room, Evan and Lavier gathered together to study the excavation drawings of the sun's ruins.

Lavier pointed to the very center of the floor plan for Evan to see, an irregularly shaped room marked with excavation progress and discoveries, and a number of corridors that connected to it leading to the edge of the drawing.

"Remember what I told you last year?" said Lavier, "judging by the size and position of the entire Sun Ruins, Mr. Zossay thinks that from this place there is direct access to the core of the Ruins. So, after the excavation of the ruins began, his excavation team did not enter the Temple of the Gods through the main entrance with the others, but instead started from the room that the team of explorers who had originally discovered the ruins of the sun entered. ”

Evan nodded, and despite his greedy nature, the goblin Zuo Sai was still very capable.

"I was on his excavation team as an intern assistant and witnessed the whole excavation process. The initial excavations went well, and we found a lot of valuable things, as well as some stone tablets with ancient Egyptian texts, which corroborated the contents, and with the help of the stone tablets, we found a secret passage. ”

"I remember you saying at the time that it was a secret passage full of scarabs, beneath the idol of Isis, the goddess who guarded the dead. Evan said, looking at the passage that Lavier had pointed to him.

The passage extends down into another room, which is additionally drawn above the floor plan.

Compared to the irregularly shaped rooms above, this floor is a little smaller and contains very few things.

Just a strange pattern is drawn in the center, a triangle with a circle in the middle.

The three dots in the triangle are marked with very small text next to them: the Obelisk of the Sun, the Obelisk of the Moon, and the Obelisk of the Stars.

"The Obelisk of the Sun, the Obelisk of the Moon, and the Obelisk of the Stars!" Evan whispered.

The obelisk is the most distinctive piece of ancient Egyptian architecture outside of the pyramids.

It has a pointed square pillar shape that gradually shrinks from the bottom to the top, and the tip resembles a pyramid spire.

The spires are often clad in gold, copper, or gold-silver alloys, and some magical obelisks are topped with exotic crystals, gems, and various types of Mithril ore.

Obelisks are usually built in the most prominent places, carved from a single block of granite, weighing hundreds of tons, and are engraved on all sides with intricate hieroglyphs or spell runes praising the gods and pharaohs, and when the sun rises on the tip of the monument, it glistens like a dazzling sun.

But the construction of an obelisk inside a building is indeed unprecedented.

"The problem lies with these three obelisks, which are actually a magical mechanism involved in alchemy, which is the main reason why Zosai wanted to invite you to join the excavation team last year. Lavier nodded, and continued, "Mr. Zossay thought that the gate could be opened by reactivating the magic mechanism inside the obelisk, but later research revealed that the three obelisks were actually used to activate the magic in the middle. ”

"There's a magic in the center of the obelisk?"

"yes, there's a magic altar there. We ignored it at first, until Mr. Zosai was ruined...... "At this point, Lavier glanced at Evan before continuing, "After Mr. Zosai is finished, the secret passage and the matter of this room that we have discovered cannot be concealed, and can only be reported. The elves who entered Gringotts later believed that the altar was a circle that could be used to teleport, like a portkey, which only worked when the obelisk was activated. But whether it is to open the stone door or activate the magic altar for teleportation, it actually makes no difference, or to use alchemy to activate the magic inside the three obelisks. ”

"Well, so this time, the Egyptian Ministry of Magic took the opportunity of holding the International Alchemy Conference to invite alchemists from all over the world to participate in the excavation of the Sun Ruins, just to crack the magic inside these three obelisks. Evan said, "Pretty much got things in order!

"That's right, in the past year, Gringotts and the Egyptian Ministry of Magic that intervened later have hired many wizards who are proficient in alchemy to study the three obelisks, but there has been no progress, and they are not giving up, because from what has been discovered so far, this is the fastest way to enter the core of the Sun Ruins. ”

"Oh, is the alchemical magic involved in those three obelisks difficult?" Evan asked.

"It's quite difficult, I also learned some alchemy in school, but I can't understand the ancient magic and magic runes on the three obelisks, the knowledge involved in alchemy is too complicated, and it is also very ancient, which is very different from modern alchemy. Lavier replied, "Gringotts originally planned to invite Nicol Leme, after all, he is currently the most famous alchemist in the world, and he is also the only one left of that era, but he did not agree, but recommended you with Dumbledore, anyway, those elves have high expectations for you and want to cooperate with you." ”

"Expectations are high?"

Elves are probably the most principleless creatures in the world, and their greedy nature makes them only see profit in their eyes.

As long as Aven can help them crack the magic on the obelisk, they can probably do anything.

Not to mention what the goblins can give, Aven thought about it carefully, and it was not considered to be involved.

This is a mechanism left by Ramses II, and it is not known how much time it will take to completely crack it.

It could be ten or twenty years, or a lifetime......

In the lost ruins under the mire near Hogwarts, Aven had seen the magic left by the ancient warlocks and the magic circle arranged by alchemy, the "silent" magic that was beyond imagination, and the magic itself alone had not yet been studied.

Not to mention, absorb the magic power in the Philosopher's Stone to support the vast runes of the entire magic.

The arrangement of the ancient warlocks in that ruin was completely beyond Aven's imagination and his abilities.

If it weren't for his help, he wouldn't have been able to do his research.

As a corollary, Ramses II, the most famous ancient warlock in history, left behind a ruin with a much more complex mechanism and magic than the lost ruin near Hogwarts......

With so many things to do, it was impossible for Evan to keep too much energy in Egypt.

At most, he will stay here until the end of the summer holidays, when he will return to England.

Besides, even if the three obelisks were really activated by luck, the teleportation circle in the middle didn't know where to teleport?

No one even knows what awaits them in the teleportation past?

With what Evan knew about the ancient warlocks, there might not be a treasure, but the chances of leaving some terrible trouble behind were very high.

Perhaps Ramses II sealed some evil god or outer god or void creature inside the ruins of the sun, and a group of human goblins who did not know the depths tried to dig it out of greed and ignorance......

This kind of thing is terrible enough just thinking about it, these stupid guys are simply killing themselves!
