Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Peter

Chapter 172 Pyramid

The man wearing glasses led Peter and Andonova closer to the pyramid. The rocks of this pyramid contain more limestone components. For 500 years, the pyramid has stood in the hot desert wind, and its surface has been weathered like cotton wool. Hundred holes.

"For the sake of cultural relic protection, the authorities forbid anyone to enter the tomb," the man wearing glasses explained, pointing to the front entrance of the tomb. "Our archaeological team intends to study the situation inside the pyramid from the ventilation holes."

The three climbed up the scaffolding built by the archaeological team and came to the middle of the pyramid. Several other archaeologists were putting a crawler robot with a camera into the ventilation hole. This small ventilation hole pointed to Sirius. No one knew what it was for. What's the use.

The archaeologists looked at the pictures taken by the robot excitedly. The ventilation holes were obviously man-made, and the walls were all square stones. The robot moved forward unimpeded. After about 15 minutes, a stone door with a copper ring blocked it. its the way to go.

"A door!" The archaeologists became even more excited. They discussed for a while, and asked the technician in charge of the remote control robot to use the drill bit attached to the robot to drill open the stone door.

Peter and Andonova exchanged glances. Peter was not optimistic about this reckless behavior. There was probably an ancient spell attached to the pyramid, just like the most famous warning inscribed in the tomb: "Whoever disturbed Pharaoh peace, on whom the wings of death will descend."

The drill bit touched the stone door and began to run at full speed, but the robot froze in the next second and stopped moving.

"Why did it break at this time?" The person holding the remote control frowned and said, "How do we recover the robot now?"

Seeing that the results of hard work over the past few days were incinerated, the mood of the entire archaeological team fell to a freezing point, Peter pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Uh... sorry, we are going to see the Sphinx, thanks for your hard work .”

After speaking, he pulled Andonova up and returned the same way. The archaeological team was immersed in depression and had no intention of paying attention to them.

"They're going to find out very soon that there's no professor named Peddie at the University of Manchester," Peter told Andonova. "Let them get on with the pyramids. I bet this pyramid isn't some 'off-limits'. It was internally cast with a Muggle-repelling spell by a wizard."

Andonova said: "The Muggle expulsion curse is protecting them instead. There may be some kind of curse in this pyramid."

"Yes, the Muggle Repelling Curse was probably officially cast by the Egyptian Ministry of Magic. The Egyptian Ministry of Magic also communicated with the Muggle authorities to prevent Muggles from trying to enter the pyramid as much as possible in the form of law. The robot of the archaeological team was damaged just now. It is precisely because of the high concentration of magic power inside the pyramid."

Afterwards, the two lighted their wands respectively and walked into the pyramid. The passage in the pyramid was only as high as one person and made of solid granite. Neither of them spoke. Except for the sound of breathing and footsteps, the tunnel was silent.

They walked along the passage for a while, and an arched doorway appeared in front of them. Behind the doorway, a well-preserved stone staircase was exposed. The stairs went all the way up to the Pharaoh's final resting place.

Andonova's magic disc began to react, she took out the magic disc from her chest, and held up her wand vigilantly.

"There's black magic nearby... from here, be careful," she reminded.

Peter opened the magic space, and the green mist on the magic disc floated to the right stone wall.

"The front leads to the Pharaoh's tomb, and there is an independent hidden tunnel on the right," Peter said.

He carefully observed the empty wall in the magic space, and groped lightly with his hands like Dumbledore. After about 5 minutes, he tapped the wall lightly with the tip of his staff, and a hole was immediately exposed on the thick stone wall. A secret door with a bronze knocker.

Peter grabbed the door knocker and pushed open the hidden door. After a bang, a dark and deep downward tunnel appeared in front of them.

Andonova said nervously: "This tunnel leads underground, so it obviously has nothing to do with Pharaoh."

Peter nodded and said with a smile: "I feel a familiar atmosphere from the magic in the hidden door. Such simple magic did not appear in ancient Egypt. This spellcaster is probably a latecomer who has taken over the magpie's nest. "

Peter and Andonova walked down the tunnel. At first, the two sides of the tunnel were just rough-hewn rock walls. As they went deeper, the surrounding darkness became thicker, and some strange things began to appear on both sides of the tunnel. Formed elongated statues, their glowing green eyes fixed on the intruders.

"These dense fogs are not offensive, and the statues only serve as a deterrent." Peter carefully observed the traces of magic power in the magic space, his tone was as steady as he was pacing in his own office.

The two walked for half an hour, and finally came to the end of the tunnel. A statue of a two-person basilisk blocked their way. Its eyes also glowed green, and it sensed Peter and Andonova, It lowered its stone head, baring its fangs menacingly.

"What should I do?" Andonova looked at Peter, "Do you want to attack it?"

Peter smiled and raised a hand, stopped her, and said, "Now we can be sure that the owner of the secret passage is Herbo. It seems that Salazar Slytherin's mechanism is nothing new."

He tapped Haierbo's snake language dictionary with the tip of his staff, and a hoarse hiss echoed in the tunnel, "Open it," he said.

The statue of the basilisk made of stone bowed, and got into a narrow dark passage on the side. Behind it, a wide and long hall was exposed, and a solemn stone statue stood in the middle of the hall.

Andonova glanced at Peter, as if asking for his opinion.Peter shook his head lightly, signaling her not to rush forward. He used magic space exploration and found that the hall was covered with dense red dots.

"Red spells." Peter murmured, he raised his wand, and added three red light spots at the end of the hall. The spells emitted from the light spots hit the back of the statue, accompanied by a strong light, and everyone in the hall All the red spells disappeared.

"You easily deciphered the ancient magic mechanism!" Andonova exclaimed.

Peter said in a somewhat contemptuous tone: "Dark wizards are all the same, arrogant, arrogant, and longing for eternal life. He actually thought that he was the only one in the world who could master the ability to control three red spells at the same time. We can go in, plus Brila, but be careful, there may be more insidious mechanisms in the room."

There are many clay tablets hanging on the wall of the room. Haierbo communicated with the later wizard who discovered the secret passage through this form. He claimed to be an ancient Greek wizard. A regular pyramid that absorbs the energy of the "Second Sun".

Peter suddenly realized that it is no wonder that the Muggles of later generations entered the pyramid to explore but were not touched by the wings of death. The "second sun" mentioned on the clay tablet was probably a supernova that exploded 6000 years ago. All the miracles in the world Both magic and magic originated from this star.

"'Despicable' Haierbo is really despicable." Peter said with emotion.
