Hogwarts Crawler

"Grandpa and grandma...?"

Adam couldn't help but be silent for a moment.

Whether it was because of the long distance, the special situation in China, or the need to keep it secret from ordinary people, compared to the grandparents who he had met a few times, the day he received the admission letter was the only time Adam remembered meeting his grandparents.

When he first came here, due to the physical development of infants and young children, Adam had almost no memory before the age of two or three, so he had no memory of the Zhou ceremony.

So... if you want to talk about the impression of grandpa and grandma, not very familiar may be a somewhat hurtful but very appropriate adjective.

"Okay, it just so happens that I have always wanted to visit China and taste the most authentic Chinese food."

Adam's answer made Ms. Li feel relieved, and then she smiled and nodded:

"Then I will go to book a plane ticket, and I will go back with you."

Perhaps because of the holiday, the flights in the past few days have been full, and Ms. Li has to make some preparations for returning to China once in so many years, so the ticket is booked ten days later.

However, on the eighth day, Adam received a letter sent by owl.

At first, Adam didn't think anything of it, but was just curious because he had never seen this owl before, and he should know the owls of familiar people who would send him letters.

After checking that there was no curse on the letter, he opened the letter paper and saw the contents of the letter, and the relaxed smile on Adam's mouth disappeared.

"Adam, if you can see this letter, it means that if nothing unexpected happened to me, then something unexpected should have happened to me."

This was the first sentence in the letter, and the familiar handwriting was undoubtedly from Uther.

The deliberately funny words did not make Adam feel any relief or laughter, and he hurriedly continued to read on.

"Because of your previous prophecy, I made some preparations. After thinking about it, I decided to write this letter as a backup plan. If everything goes well, I will stay in Hamunaptra for seven days at most. On the seventh day, I will definitely leave there with the door key and stop this letter from being sent out. So if you can see this letter..."

The handwriting is a little dark here, and it can be seen that the feather pen has paused here. Uther finally did not continue writing, but started a new line.

"I have thought about why I wrote this letter to you for a long time. What can you do if you see this letter? Considering that we have been roommates for two years and have a good relationship, please inform my mother who may not know that we are in trouble, so that she can at least prepare in advance. And other brothers, remember to say goodbye to them when school starts."

"It's a pity that I probably can't give you any reward. You don't seem to be short of money, but my personal collection is in the box under the bed in my room. If you like, you can take it as a souvenir. They are all rare things."

"Finally, you are really a great roommate, and the dishes you cook are super delicious. I love you, Adam."

Putting down the letter, Adam blinked his sore eyes and took a deep breath.

"What's wrong, Adam?"

Xiao Ke tilted his head at Adam with an ugly face.

"Xiao Ke, don't talk for now... Let me think about it... Think about it..."

The most important thing now is to determine whether Uther is dead or not.

If he was not dead, Adam should be able to rescue Uther by rushing to Egypt now, but if he was dead, Adam's trip would directly close the cause and effect loop, and even if he used time magic later, he could not change the predetermined ending.

But if he didn't go to Egypt to check, how could he confirm whether Uther was dead or not?

Wait... there is a way!

"Clow Cards created by Clow Reed, please answer my questions and tell me about Uther Ramses..."

With Adam's half-baked divination interpretation ability, even if the divination result of Uther was dead, it could only be regarded as his guess at most. Thank God there are no dead cards in the Clow Cards!

"Eliminating cards, sand cards, weighing cards, dark cards, and puzzle cards?"

Looking at the same divination results in front of him as last time, Adam breathed a sigh of relief.

No changes, does that mean Uther is still alive?

Adam packed up the Clow Cards on the table, summoned the Dark Rod, and was about to use the magic of moving cards to go to Egypt directly.

Fortunately, he learned this magic right after Xiangpai, otherwise, he might not be able to sustain the consumption after crossing such a long distance.

"Xiao Ke, Sibi, I have to leave for a while, you guys..."

"Wait a minute, Adam! Do you remember that you are going to China in two days?"

Adam was interrupted by Sibi, and he really forgot it just now.

So Adam hurried to find Ms. Li again:

"Mom, my classmate in Egypt is in trouble, I have to go to him, I can't go to China with you."

"What...?"

Ms. Li's smile froze on her face:

"But your grandparents..."

"Sorry, Mom, it's very urgent, it's a matter of life and death! It doesn't matter if we go to China later. Anyway, we haven't seen each other for so many years, so we don't care if it's one more year later, right?"

Adam held Ms. Li's hand.

He undoubtedly loves China, but he is only somewhat grateful to his grandparents for his relatives in China. At least they brought him the Book of Seals. As for family affection, it can only be said that there is some but not much.

Compared with Uther's life and death, which one is more important, going to China to see those unknown relatives, is beyond doubt.

"...Okay."

After a few seconds of silence, Ms. Li sighed:

"Then let's go next year. I'll buy you a ticket to Egypt."

"It's too late. I'll go directly with magic. Thank you for understanding! "

He hugged Ms. Li and kissed her on the cheek. Adam waved the Dark Staff and disappeared from the spot.

The scene in front of him just turned into Uther's villa, and Adam heard several shouts:

"Who is it? !"

It was in Arabic. Adam looked around and saw five wizards pointing their wands at him. The chains that quickly imprisoned him were blocked by the protective magic around Adam.

"I'm here to find Uther."

Adam spoke in ancient Egyptian as soon as he opened his mouth, which made the five wizards confused.

"Adam?"

Footsteps came from the second floor. It turned out that Uther's mother Tuya heard the noise and ran down from upstairs.

"Auntie..."

Adam was about to speak when he saw Tuya's red eyes.

"I already know..."

Tuya took out a piece of letter paper from her pocket. Her fingers couldn't stop shaking. She took a few deep breaths to calm down:

"I didn't expect you to come so soon... Come with me. "

The wizards surrounding Adam retreated at Tuya's signal, and Adam followed her to the top floor.

"This is Uther's room, go in."

"..."

Adam thought about it and it seemed a bit hasty to say that he wanted to save Uther now. Tuya was unlikely to believe that he had this ability, but if he delayed, Uther might really die at any time...

After thinking about it, Adam still pushed the door open and walked in as Tuya said.

As soon as he opened the door, Adam wanted to slam the door and leave, clear this memory, and would rather he had never opened this door.

"Uther... prepared the door key before he went."

Tuya walked into the room from Adam's side, slowly came to Uther lying on the bed, and her voice was obviously trembling:

"As a result, Merian activated the door key yesterday, but what I waited for was his body, and..."
