After making the decision to go to Hamnata in a group, a very real question was put in front of them: where would the money come from for the group?

"We need camels, horses, supplies, weapons, tents. Anyway, a whole bunch of stuff. But my brother and sister don't have that much money. Jonathan said bluntly. "In short, if we don't have enough money, we may have to pull someone else in. Like the director of this museum, or some rich people I know. But then we will definitely have to lose a lot of money, and the danger will be greatly increased. ”

"Money, that's easy to say. Ryan pulled out a few gold bars from his space pocket. "We don't have the pounds on us, the gold, you prepare it, and the rest will be a tip for you. My only requirement is that you get the best gear as quickly as possible. ”

"Of course, no problem, I know this place in Cairo very well, and I promise to do it properly for you. Jonathan kissed the gold bar, then swaggered to his sister before leaving to prepare.

"Oh, you're so generous, there's really no need to give so much money. Evelyn looked at Ryan and said, "That's enough gold just now to organize a well-equipped, dozen-man expedition." ”

"It doesn't matter, there is more money, and the speed of work should be faster. Besides, the money is not very important to us, what really matters is the ancient knowledge of ancient Egyptian magic left in the ruins. Ryan said.

The rest of the time, Ryan and Hermione helped Evelyn magically clean up the library she had just messed up, and then went with her to a nice hotel to wait for Jonathan to get ready. As expected, Hermione and Evelyn quickly found a common language to chat. Evelyn began to teach Hermione some archaeology about Ancient Egypt, but Hermione had a basic knowledge of ancient Egyptian sacred texts, so she learned quickly.

When it was afternoon, Jonathan came to the hotel and told them to go. Instead of imagining a camel ride, Jonathan is preparing for a boat trip on the Nile.

"You know, the ancient Egyptian civilization developed around the Nile, so their important cities were on both sides of the Nile, and the place we were going to was no exception. Jonathan saw Ryan's puzzled eyes and quickly explained, "So after looking at the map, I think we can take a boat first, and then ride over." It's not just fast, but it's also a lot more comfortable. ”

"It's okay, you can come as much as you want. "Actually, if it were just Ryan and Hermione, they'd just fly over. However, considering that neither of them understands ancient Egyptian culture very well, in order to avoid all kinds of troubles in the ruins. Bringing Evelyn with you becomes a good option. And in this way, Jonathan, who is not worried about being an older brother, and his sister goes out on an adventure with two strangers, and insists on following. Fortunately, as a person who eats all over Cairo, bringing him with you can also help a lot on the trip.

The boat they were on was a river boat, but it wasn't small. After settling their luggage, Ryan and Hermione walked out to the deck to enjoy the view of the river.

"It's like in an old movie. Hermione said, leaning on the railing of the boat. "An old steam river vessel sailing on the beautiful, golden Nile in the sun. ”

"It's called Murder on the Nile, isn't it?" Ryan thought for a moment before he figured out what movie Hermione was talking about, "But, don't you think it's a little unlucky to think of this movie on a passenger ship on the Nile right now?"

Hermione chuckled as a young white man who looked like a European approached. "This beautiful young lady, could you please have a drink at the bar on the ship? ”

"Sorry, my fiancé and I have something to say here. Hermione said to the blind fellow with some annoyance. But instead of leaving, this guy began to talk nonsense. "Fuck off, Chink, stay away from this white lady. ”

Damn racism, Ryan clenched his wand in his pocket. Seriously, this is the first time in so many years that he has faced such direct racist discrimination. The primary school he studied in before belonged to a relatively high-grade private school, and racial discrimination in it was at most a very secret expression. And after graduating from elementary school, he went directly to Hogwarts, because whether it is black Africa or East Asia, it is not weaker than the West in the wizarding world, so there is no racial discrimination in the wizarding world, only blood discrimination.

Hermione was so angry at such remarks that she directly petrified the guy. The man then pointed his wand at the other person's face as he stared at him in horror.

"Soul Capture. Soon the expression on Hermione's face became more and more angry, and finally there was even a trace of murderous intent in her eyes.

"What's going on? are you alright?" asked Ryan, pressing Hermione on the shoulder.

"This guy is a Ku Klux Klan member who has been involved in five or six killings of innocent people of color. Hermione turned to Ryan and said, "He's got more harm to people of color than that, and this time he's got together with a bunch of 3Klux Klan scum who are just like him." Protect a scholar as a bodyguard in search of the Hamna Tower. ”

Ryan immediately remembered that this group of Americans should be the group of guys who took the holy urn of Ansuna's internal organs in the original plot, and think about it, there are not many good people among the people who can leave their homes and take the initiative to venture in such a dangerous place in this era, and at the same time, it is the most rampant era of the 3 Klux Klan. Then it's normal for this group of people to be innocent garbage, and Ryan feels that he can do something for the sky now, and by the way, kill this group of guys who are grabbing opportunities with his own group.

Thinking of this, Ryan and Hermione whispered. They then magically attacked the 3 Klux Klans and threw them into the river to feed the Nile crocodiles. By the way, use the Oblivion Charm to wipe out all the memories of the other party's guide Benny about the Hamna Tower.

Shortly after Ryan and the others returned to their room on the ship, the ship shook and slowed down, eventually stopping.

"What's going on?" Evelyn asked curiously. Soon Jonathan heard from outside. "I've heard that several Americans are missing on board, so now we need to dock at the nearest pier, and now we have to walk a lot more. ”

Soon the ship docked at a small pier, and the passengers on board left after being questioned by the police who boarded the ship. Ryan and the others disembarked just in time to see the American historian, led by Benny, the guide, and a group of local laborers walking in a completely wrong direction. It seems that the cunning Benny, after realizing that he doesn't remember the location of Hamnata, simply decides to take the American professor for a walk in the desert and cheat some money by the way.

The next journey is to ride horses in the desert, to be precise, the surrounding area should be regarded as the Gobi, so horses can also be used in this place. After leaving the human settlement on the banks of the Nile, Ryan revealed the Rose Crystal and introduced Evelyn to another member of the expedition.

"It's magical. Evelyn looked at the puppets that flew up to the sky from time to time to reconnoiter the surroundings and exclaimed, "That way, we don't have to worry about things attacking us at night." ”

Although the place where they disembark is farther away from the Hamna Tower than in the movie where the protagonist and his gang jump off the boat after the boat catches fire, it is also far from the Hamnata. Because there were not enough navigation lights and radars for ships in those days, most of the boats in the river would not sail at night to avoid running aground or running aground.

This is why the group of pharaoh guards in the movie can have so many people lurking on the ship silently: because the ship was in a moored state at that time, otherwise it would definitely not be able to catch up with the motor boat with oars, and it would be too quiet to chase the movement with the same motor boat.
