some magical Hogwarts

Chapter 1077 Those who enter this door must give up all hope!
Seeing the so-called altar of the temple, William was very disappointed.

On the bare ground, there is only a black stone tablet standing.

This is also normal. After thousands of years of wind and rain, the periphery of the Temple of Karnak has been evacuated.

Many areas inside, even with magical protection, were slowly cracked, and even the land was taken away.

It's a bit like robbing the temple, and even the gold powder on the Buddha's body is going to be scraped away.

William looked around, but he didn't know what to crack here.

But the goblins quickly showed him how extraordinary the black stone tablet was.

They successively used Muggle, wizard, and goblin measurement methods to measure... No matter which standard, the ratio of the three sides of the black stone tablet,
Both are:

1:4:9.

There is no error.

A goblin named Clark, waving his fist and spitting everywhere:
"The ancient wizard, in this way, arrogantly showed us his power!"

"..."

William narrowed his eyes. He didn't care about the proportions, but the material of the black stone tablet...

He looked left and right, touched it with his hand, and motioned Hermione to observe it for a while.

In the end, the two murmured and communicated in encrypted language, and came to a conclusion:

This is very similar to the netherrack recorded in the alchemy book.

In other words... it's made of rock from the banks of the Death River.

One of the raw materials for making the Deathly Hallows!

This is what William lacks most now!

He suddenly became excited, and also had the idea of ​​taking the black stele away for "cultural relic protection".

But it's unlikely, if they could be taken away, with the character of the goblins, they would have been taken away long ago, so why would they stay here.

They probably couldn't take it away, and after some research, they discovered the secret of the black stele.

Soon, the goblins took out another huge stone tablet.

William looked at the thing and felt familiar.

"Isn't this the Metternich Stele?!"

In 1828, while digging a well, someone accidentally discovered a well-preserved stele.

The ruler of Egypt at the time, Muhammad Ali, presented this stele to Austrian Prime Minister Metternich.

It's no wonder that Ali licked Metternich so much, he was giving cultural relics and beauties at the same time.

At that time, Ali wanted to launch a war against Turkey and establish an Arab empire centered on Egypt.

And Metternich was in Europe at the time, and he was powerful.

Metternich first pimped, helped Napoleon divorce the queen, and married an Austrian princess.

In the subsequent expedition to Russia, he led an Austrian army of [-] to paddle, and secretly collude with Britain and Russia, cheating Napoleon.

After Napoleon's defeat, he also served as Prime Minister of the Austrian Empire and became the core figure of the "Holy Alliance" and "Quadruple Alliance".

He was also the moderator of the Vienna Conference.

Ali wanted to start a war, but he couldn't bypass the Western powers and Metternich.

After getting the stele, Metternich placed it in the Metternich Palace.

This stele was later called the "Metternich Stele".

In 1950, it was collected in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

When William pretended to be a Targaryen in the United States, he also visited it specially.

It's just that I didn't see the real thing, only the replica.

Unexpectedly, it was the key magic item to open the altar, and it was stolen by the fairies.

Wasn't it stolen?

William didn't believe that, with the old beauty's style, he would hand it over to the goblin.

Feeling the strange look in his eyes, Clark immediately blushed, and the veins on his forehead burst out, arguing:

"Borrowing a stele can't be considered stealing... Borrowing a stele!... Can something about a goblin count as stealing?"

One after another is the difficult goblin dialect.

The words "originally belonged to Egypt" and "Egypt originated from goblins" and the like filled the temple with a happy atmosphere.

William also understood.

After Easter, the U.S. Capitol exploded, and wizards, Muggles, and scavengers fought.

The goblins took advantage of the chaos and snatched them away.

In order to prevent being tracked halfway, Gringotts also deliberately turned to Haiti. During the pursuit, the Auror even killed a Haitian president.

After Clark changed the topic, he pointed to a certain text on the stele and said:
"If you want to enter the altar, you need to say this spell and prayer."

In the evolution of ancient Egyptian writing, the hieroglyphic script first appeared.

With the development, monk and secular fonts appeared.

These scripts are simpler and suitable for writing on papyrus.

But the hieroglyph did not decline because of this, but coexisted with these fonts, and was widely carved in temples and steles.

The content of this stele is written in hieroglyphics.

Thanks to Champollion's research on the Rosette Stele, most of the meanings of ancient Egyptian characters have been deciphered by him.

But the goblins still couldn't make use of the Metternich Stele.

Because an ancient Egyptian character, in addition to expressing meaning, the way of expressing sound is also quite varied:

There are symbols for single consonants, and symbols for double or triple consonants.

That is to say, even if a certain character is known to represent a sound, modern people cannot pronounce it accurately, because the vowel connecting the consonant is missing.

Then again, it might be difficult for Muggles and goblins, but not so difficult for William.

Back then, the Big Four left from the Invisible Academy of Egypt, and they all knew this language.

After the establishment of Hogwarts, Hufflepuff served as the headmaster and taught her students.

The principal's office retains the portraits of past principals, and several of them master this ancient language.

Dumbledore had specially learned from them in order to study prehistoric mysteries.

Since knowing that Arya came to Egypt that year, William has also learned in the time loop.

Of course, there are also many wizards who don't know the truth and have always been curious. It has only been seven years since William entered Hogwarts.

He is so young, even if he is a genius, why can he master so many skills?
Don't ask, just ask "my dad taught in Hawaii".

The content of the stele, not very complex, depicts important gods in Egyptian mythology, as well as Horus and his father Osiris.

At the top of the roster of these gods, eight baboons on the horizon, and the pharaoh worshiping the sun god.

The main body and base of the stele are covered with inscriptions, and the back and sides of the stele are also engraved with inscriptions.

These words, like the ancient runes, are magical in themselves.

The goblins also brought eight baboons, and took out a wand with a unique shape, and handed it to William.

That wand is completely different from the wands sold in the market now.

The material is hippopotamus tusks.

In ancient Egypt, there was a tradition of hunting hippopotamuses.

Their long teeth also contain magic power, which is not weaker than many magic materials today.

Even more aggressive.

And the Senebo wand in front of him is also a magic item lost in Egypt, which was recovered by the goblin.

Only the Senebo wand and the inscription on the Metternich stele can open the altar of the temple.

William stood directly in front of the black stele, holding Senebo's wand in both hands.

The wand is curved, and an inscription is engraved above the tip.

Below the inscription, there are many pictures:

Sun disc, sun eye, scarab, dappled celestial lion, and sphinx.

William read the inscription from his mouth.

The eight baboons suddenly let out a terrible roar, roaring in the temple like earthquake waves.

William accurately and forcefully spit out every syllable of the ancient text, and he felt a powerful aura emanating from the black stone tablet.

William was singing at the end:

Those who enter this door must give up all hope!
