Chapter 4: The Tower of Hamna, the Legend of Gods and Ghosts

"Although there have been many wizards from all over the world who come to visit the magical ruins of ancient Egypt, the rooms in our hotel are usually only 60% full.

After all, it's the hottest part of the day, and it's not a good time to visit.

But there are so many guests coming to our hotel this summer, and if you hadn't booked your room in advance, hehe, I'm afraid you'd have had to turn left and go to the shabby inn owned by the local wizard.

It's not me blowing, in the whole of Cairo, you can't find a better place to stay than our Helios Hotel.

Those scruffy Egyptian wizards ......"

The elf Ziris's mouth chattered endlessly, and his feet did not stop, and he quickly brought them to the door of the room.

"Please come in."

He opened the door with the key, and as soon as he entered, everyone knew why Bill had only opened two rooms.

The room turned out to be a huge ensuite, not only with three bedrooms, but also with a kitchen and a long balcony with a view of the Nile.

A large amount of sunlight poured into the room from the balcony, but it didn't bring a hint of scorching heat.

A slight cool breeze swirled around the living room, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"It must have been a magic that regulates the temperature!" Ron swore to Clark.

"Distinguished guest, the other room is next door to yours."

Ziris took out the key to the room, counted the number of people, and then pointed a long, slender finger on the key.

Then, I saw that the two keys were like hens laying eggs, and how many of them were of the same shape? Key.

The goblin handed over the key?? Bill, turn around and get ready to leave.

But at this time,?? Ginny, who had just been a part-time reporter for a few days last semester, had an outbreak of occupational illness and hurriedly asked the goblin.

"But why? Why do there be more sorcerers coming to Egypt???"??

In the face of Ginny's question, the fairy Ziris did not answer directly.

"This young lady, there are a lot of guests in the hotel now, if you don't have anything important, I still need to be busy?"

Ginny was deflated on the other party's body, and it was not good to continue to stop the other party to ask.

But Clark looked at the elf Ziris's treacherous face, and the big eyes that stared at him, but he guessed.

The other party just said that in front of them, liking to talk more is only one aspect, more is fishing.

Although the names are different, the images of these goblins, in Clark's memory, are eight or nine points similar to those goblins in the Faeron Continent.

In the continent of Faeron, these guys are greedy and intelligent creatures.

They have a brilliant mind in business and mechanics, and some gifted goblins can even master the ability to use high-level arcane.

In ancient times, under the guidance of the god of goblins, they created an amazing steam alchemy civilization.

It's just that the shortcomings of these goblins are also very prominent, they are mercenary, and they get into the eyes of money like Grande.

Even if they have great power, they tend to be more keen to use it to protect their wealth.

So as long as they are willing to pay, they will work for anyone, even if they stab their own people in the back, they do not hesitate.

Fortunately, although there is no oil to be squeezed out of the cracks of the stones, most goblins are still very trustworthy.

It should also be noted that the Goblins are also one of the few races that are not disturbed by the basic caste of "charisma".

They also have high resistance to psychic spells, especially when it comes to money.

Legend has it that even a Mind Flayer can't make a goblin willingly hand over his wealth.

So the only thing that can affect their senses and favorability is one thing, and that is money.

"Time is money, Mr. Ziris, I've always thought so, so I decided to give you a little tip as a thank you for serving us."

Although as a European and American person, it is logically a tradition to tip a waiter, it is not the same here for wizards.

Muggles were inferior to wizards to them, let alone goblins who weren't even human.

So for those wizards, they are rarely in the habit of tipping elves or house-elves.

And when that Ziris heard the word "tip", his two long, pointed ears flashed twice.

Clark could even clearly see that the fluff on the elf waiter's ears was standing on end one by one.

Sure enough, although the world is different and the name is different, the goblin race is no different from the goblins.

"Yes, it's a recognition of your dedicated service."

Clark handed him a silver sico, then stretched out his right hand with two silver sike in his palm.

"At the same time, I apologize for not being able to serve other guests, do you accept it?"

Clark's meaning is self-evident, and the effect is immediate.

"Accept! Accept! ”

Ziris immediately took the two silver sicos from Clark's hands with a smile on his face, and the speed was so fast that even Neville couldn't react.

"Actually, I vaguely heard the guests who stayed at the hotel mention that there might be new ancient ruins in the desert, what are they called...... Hamnata is, yes, that seems to be the name! ”

"Hamnata! What is that place? Why did those wizards go in there, what were they looking for? ”

Ron asked curiously, but the elf Ziris just shook his head.

"I don't know.

In the long history of more than 5,000 years, there are countless ancient ruins buried under the yellow sands of Egypt, and I am just a waiter, so how would I know this?

As for what they were looking for?

Probably an adventure and see if there is anything to gain, which is a normal phenomenon in the Egyptian magical world. ”

For Clark's sake's sake, Ziris said a few more words.

"Every time a new relic or some kind of rumor appears, it always attracts a large number of people here, who are typical opportunists, mercenary outlaws."

Ginny and Ron were disappointed, and Mrs. Weasley reminded them.

"We're here to travel to Egypt, but what kind of adventure game are you going to play this month, you all have to follow us obediently, don't run around, do you hear?"

Bill nodded too, agreeing with his mother.

"Yes, there are not many wizards who come to Egypt every year for the so-called treasure hunt, but only a handful can actually find the ruins, break the curse, and bring the treasure out.

Even Gringotts spell solvers like us need to be very careful when exploring the magical relics, so this is no joke.

I think you'd better have a good rest, have a big dinner in the evening, and I'll take you around Cairo tomorrow. ”

Hearing his words, Ron and the others, who were still a little eager to try, were disappointed.

However, Clark, Hermione, and Neville glanced at each other vaguely, and this scene was only seen by the two twin brothers, George and Fred.

At this point, when it came to the lodgings, they began to allocate rooms.

As the only two girls in the group, Hermione of course lived in the same room as Ginny.

They lived in the same suite as the Weasleys and Clark and Neville.

George and Fred, Ron and Percy, and Bill, live in another suite.

After assigning the room, Clark opened his magic trunk and asked them to take out their luggage.

After such a toss, after everything was settled, the fatigue of the journey on everyone's body completely exploded.

They didn't talk about what had just happened, and they all went back to their rooms, ready to rest.

However, when everyone was silent, Hermione suddenly opened the door to her room and snuck into the next room between Clark and Neville.

She cautiously closed the door, and when she turned her head, she saw that neither Clark nor Neville were resting.

The two of them sat cross-legged on the bed, their eyes closed, as if they were meditating.

The other, holding a short sword shining with cold light, carefully wiped the sword body with deerskin, and evenly smeared with sword oil.

Hermione recognized the dagger as the one Clark used to slay trolls in her first year.

"You're here."

Hearing the sound of the door closing, both Clark and Neville looked over.

"Well," Hermione said hello to the two of them, then looked at Clark, "You know Hamnata Tower. ”

She used an affirmative sentence, and Clark nodded as she expected.

After all, the movie called "The Mummy" (also known as "Legend of Gods and Ghosts/Tomb Robbery") is very impressive.

"Yes, I did see it in the collection of books at home.

Hamna Tower, the legendary capital of the dead, the earthly kingdom of Osiris, the god of death.

It was the burial place of the pharaohs of the ages, and many powerful curses were placed by countless priests to prevent ordinary people from finding it.

Of course, since it is the tomb of the pharaohs of the past dynasties, it naturally means that there are valuable burial goods, all kinds of gold, jewelry, magic items, alchemical potions, and even books that record precious knowledge. ”

"So that's where we came to Egypt?" Hermione asked.

However, Clark shook his head, "I don't know. ”

"What?"

Clark looked at the two of them helplessly.

"I chose to come to Egypt because I sensed some strange fluctuations when I resurrected Tom Riddle under the name of the God of Wisdom, Knowledge and Magic.

According to Tom Riddle's analysis, there is also the direction of fluctuations, and the only one who is most likely to produce such a change is Thoth, the god of wisdom in ancient Egyptian mythology. ”

"Hamnata is the earthly kingdom of the god of the underworld, Osiris, and it has nothing to do with Thoth, the god of wisdom, it seems that this should be just a coincidence." Hermione said sensibly.

Clark, however, had a different view.

If it was just the name of the place Hamnata, he might not be sure that it had something to do with the plot of the first part of the movie "The Mummy".

After all, in the movie, the story takes place between the First World War and the Second World War.

However, when he sees Lara Crawford from "Tomb Raider" at the airport, combined with Kouira de Ville from "Kouira" whom he met in France last summer, and the wizard himself in the "Harry Potter" series.

He could almost conclude that this world was not just an ordinary Harry Potter world, but perhaps a mixed world with various other films.

It's just that the main body of this world is still dominated by "Harry Potter", after all, in today's earth's transcendent world, wizards still occupy an absolute dominant position.

And if that Hamnata is really the capital of the dead in "The Mummy 1", then it means that the "Golden Sutra of the Sun" and "Necronomical Black Sutra" in the movie really exist.

When Clark was in his first year, he had told Harry that it was possible to resurrect the dead, but he didn't expect to come across a workable way now.

According to the plot in the movie, "Necromantic Black Scripture" records all kinds of evil black magic, and can communicate with Anubis, the god of death, to summon the dead undead to return, and resurrect them.

It is said that it records the secrets and spells of the Egyptian gods, and it is said that it even has the power to resurrect the dead, and it is the supreme treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation by the ancient Egyptian high priests.

Therefore, whether it is to better set Harry on a suitable "path" in the future, or to obtain knowledge related to the ancient Egyptian gods, it is necessary for him to participate in the plot of "The Mummy".

"Anything that involves the gods is strange and mysterious." Clark said as they watched the two.

"When the elf mentioned the Tower of Hamna, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart.

Besides, don't you think it's strange?

It is a coincidence that such important information about wealth and power was known on our first day in Cairo. ”

Clarke's question was also somewhat reasonable, Hermione and the others hadn't reacted before, and after he reminded them, the two of them felt that something was wrong.

"So I believe that it is the fate of the underworld that guides us, and even the present life of Hamnata is precisely because I recently borrowed the name of the God of Wisdom, Knowledge and Magic for the ceremony."

"So we need to find the so-called 'capital of the dead'."

Neville's words were simple and straightforward, anyway, in his opinion, whoever Clark was going to cut, he could just swing his sword.

"But we don't know where that Hamnata is, is there a record of it in that book in your house, Clark?" Hermione asked.

Clark naturally doesn't know, after all, the movie doesn't give detailed geographical coordinates.

Of course, he wouldn't tell Hermione about that.

"It's not written in that book in our house, but now that this matter has provoked so many wizards, I think there will always be clues."

Speaking of this, Clarke, for some reason, thought of the "big sister" with a ponytail in his mind.
