Chapter 506: Heroine
As soon as you step through the museum's door, the air around you suddenly cools down. Because Egypt has a dry desert climate, it is much cooler where the sun does not shine directly than where the sun can shine. Of course, this coolness also made Ryan feel refreshed, and the whole person was a lot more energetic.
Upon stepping through the gate, a local security guard wearing a red hat walked out, apparently trying to stop the two men. But after Hermione put down her hood and said in English that she wanted to visit, she stepped back. After all, Egypt is still under British control, so the other party returned after seeing that it was British.
Maybe it's because it's hot noon, or maybe it's because there aren't many people who love ancient Egyptian civilization these days. There is no one in the museum now, plus the dimly lit hall is home to a large number of ancient Egyptian sculptures, wooden coffins and even mummies. At this time, the mummies were placed in the open air, not in glass cabinets like in later generations. So the whole hall looks like a large cemetery, which makes people feel a cold air rushing over their faces.
However, as wizards, Ryan was not afraid, but they still subconsciously pulled out their wands and held them in their hands. But unlike the usual plots in horror movies, none of the mummies were uncovered at this time. They made their way down the hall to what looked like an office area at the back.
"There was nothing we wanted in these places ahead. After walking through the hall, Hermione said that as she was now learning to master the rules of death, it was obvious that the mummies in the hall were just mummies, not the kind of supernatural power they were looking for. "But I found something interesting. โ
With that, Hermione turned around and waved her wand at a painted wooden coffin containing mummies, and a man's scream came from inside the coffin. Fortunately, at this time, there was a loud noise of things collapsing in the office, completely covering the man's screams.
"What the hell?" Ryan walked to the coffin where the scream had just come from with his wand and looked inside, only to find that a man in an off-white suit who looked a little obscene was pressed under the mummy that Hermione had just activated with the breath of death, and the mummy was manipulated by Hermione to take advantage of the man's mouth to open his mouth and scream, which is why Ryan only heard one scream.
"Isn't it fashionable to run into a coffin and sleep with a mummy now?" Ryan quipped as he looked at the scene in the coffin, "I only know that in this day and age, there were mummy powder sold in London pharmacies." โ
"It shouldn't have anything to do with this. Hermione walked over, "It's like a prank, we'll just let him out and ask." With that, Hermione waved her wand again to get the mummy to let go of the man, but surprisingly, the brother didn't jump out of the coffin.
"I was scared. Ryan put his finger under the man's nose and said, "Let's get him out first." โ
Soon the benevolent brother was pulled out of the coffin by Ryan with a levitation charm, and then Ryan pointed his wand at his face and said, "Resuscitation." A few seconds later, with a groan, the man woke up.
Opening his eyes, the man was about to scream, but Hermione quickly made up a silent spell. I only saw the middle-aged man open his mouth and shut up in surprise after being under the spell, and then looked at Ryan and them with frightened eyes.
"Okay, we're not bad guys, there's something to ask you. If you're willing to cooperate, nod and don't shout, or elseโ" Ryan gestured to Hermione with his eyes, and Hermione waved his wand knowingly. All the surrounding mummies were instantly activated by her at one time, and under the control of the power of death, the mummies instantly moved and began to perform sit-ups in the coffin.
This scene almost scared the middle-aged man unconscious, but when he watched Ryan and the two of them point the small wooden stick at him, a spirit immediately reacted and nodded desperately.
After the spell was lifted, in a few words, Ryan and they figured out what was going on with the middle-aged man. His name is Jonathan, and because he recently got a baby, he wants to show it to his sister Evelyn, a scholar who is well-versed in ancient Egyptian culture, hoping to make her happy.
"So this is it?" Hermione held an octagonal metal copper box in her hand, scrutinizing it through the dimly lit torches around her. "It's a bit of a magical reaction, but it's not a magic item, it's like something that has a magical reaction or something rich in magic. โ
"But it's a good thing. Ryan said as he looked at the box, and as a man with a lot of mechanical knowledge, he could easily find the mechanism on the top of the box. With a flick of a protruding spot on the side of the box, the lid unfolds like a flower, revealing a small piece of papyrus folded inside.
"Let me see, it looks like a map. Hermione leaned over and said. "Hah...... The map shows how to get to Hamnata, but the question is, where is Hamnata?"
"Hamnata, are you talking about Hamnata, the city of the dead, which is said to be the treasure trove of the early pharaohs!" a young woman's voice came from behind, and Jonathan tensed up when he heard the voice, and he shouted loudly. "Evelyn, run, run. โ
"What?" Evelyn was stunned for a moment, but as soon as she reacted and was about to escape, Hermione directly apparitioned in front of her and blocked her way, and then with the help of the whole body binding charm, Ryan and they finally let the two brothers and sisters listen to Ryan and their explanations quietly.
"Wizards, and witches. Unlike Jonathan, who was trembling with fear, Evelyn seemed excited. "So there is a supernatural power such as magic in this world, right, that means that both the Tower of Hamna, the city of death, and the Golden Sutra of the Sun, which contains all the secret charms of ancient Egypt, should exist, right?"
"Well, we're not sure. Ryan said as she looked at Evelyn, who was looking at her with a look of hope. "But because we weren't sure, we came here to try to find the book that was still in place, and now, we've found the most important evidence of that magical place. With that, Ryan handed over the map he had just found.
"I'll see, the floral ornaments on the monuments on this map are the royal seals of Seti I, and these words......" Then Evelyn said a lot of very professional archaeological terms, Ryan found that he didn't even know 1/10 of these things, he glanced at Hermione helplessly, and found that Hermione was also blind, and couldn't understand what the person in front of him was saying.
"Well, who is Seti I?" Jonathan asked the first question.
"The second pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, in his hands, Ancient Egypt defeated the surrounding countries and maintained a powerful empire. Evelyn looked at her brother with some hatred. "The way you are now is simply a loss to our parents, I really don't understand why you haven't inherited any of their strengths. โ
"Don't say that, my dear sister. Jonathan said with a hippie smile. "At least I know that there must be a lot of gold and silver jewels in this Hamna Tower. โ
"We weren't interested in the jewelry. Ryan said that this was indeed his sincere words, and now Ryan may be short of other things, but there is absolutely no shortage of worldly wealth. Not to mention the countless treasures obtained from the previous adventures in various worlds, even now Ryan's kingdoms in other worlds continue to provide him with wealth. "But as shamans, we really want to get our hands on books that record ancient Egyptian magic. โ
"In that case, let's organize an expedition and set off!" Evelyn said happily.
