I added points to my talents at Hogwarts

Chapter 221: The Mystery in the Tomb.

Ron was about to ask Bill, but the other party made a silence gesture to signal everyone to be quiet.

The light of the fluorescent spell illuminated the bottom, and then everyone saw an Egyptian wizard walking up from below.

Looks like a tourist like them, Ives thought.

The sound from below continued, and it sounded like there was more than one person.

After a while, Bill took the lead and walked down.

The two groups of people passed by, and through the light from the tip of the staff, Ives noticed that the robes on these wizards were a little too…shabby, with a layer of khaki color, as if they had just been dug out of the sand.

The wizard at the front greeted Bill in jerky English and asked,”Who are you and why are you here?”

“We came to visit the pyramids. Bill replied quickly.

Hearing this, the leading wizard showed a stunned expression,”Oh, we are visiting the pyramids too. I wish you have a good time.””

This strange behavior made Bill instantly alert.

After the two teams separated, Bill led everyone forward for several minutes, and finally stopped in a wide space. He raised his wand and said seriously:”I have to go back and take a look, they’re acting so weird”

“I heard from my colleagues that they had encountered dark wizards who wanted to sneak into the pyramid to find treasures several times before,” he explained.”I thought the behavior of that wave of people just now was really strange.”

“Indeed,” Sirius agreed.

After seeing the worried expressions of the Weasleys, Bill said seriously:”I was just confirming the situation to prevent them from causing irreparable damage to the cultural relics in the pyramid.”

The Repair Spell is not omnipotent. Although it can repair most materials, if most of the item is burned, the Repair Spell will have no effect. At the same time, the damage caused by some rare and powerful magic, it It is also irreparable.

He continued:”There are anti-Apparition spells placed around the pyramid. If it is really a dark wizard who sneaked in, I must at least hold them back before support arrives.

Seeing his firm expression, Mr. Weasley volunteered and said,”Then let me go too.””

“Me too.”Sirius was eager to try.

Bill opened his mouth and finally turned it into a sentence,”Okay, but I hope my guess is wrong.”

“Mr. Weasley, you stay to protect everyone,” Ives suddenly said,”Let me go with them.”

There are still a dozen little wizards among the people left, and only Mrs. Weasley is really not safe. Mr. Weasley thought about it and nodded in agreement.

He thought to himself, Ives’s achievements are obvious to all, and the level of magic is Even if they are not as good as adult wizards, they will definitely not hold them back.

After appeasing Hermione who wanted to follow, Ivis and Sirius walked out of the team and cautiously moved in the direction of the team of wizards just now.

Then There was a large group of wizards, and just like before, the rustling sound of them walking could be heard from a distance.

Ives subconsciously waved his wand and put the Disillusionment Curse on the three of them.

Sirius’s eyes flashed. With a hint of a smile, he lowered his voice and joked:”Such a skilled phantom body spell, you have to go out at night in school a lot, right?””

“Don’t talk nonsense, I’m a good student.”Avis hurriedly defended.

Because of the Disillusionment Curse, neither Bill nor Sirius saw the embarrassed look on his face.

Not only did Avis and the others go out at night, this activity has become theirs. The sound was getting closer and closer, and the three of them quickly shut up and kept quiet, and became more careful with their steps.

Finally, they found the team of Egyptian wizards in the tomb where they had just visited the mummies.

The room had completely changed. In this way, it looks more like a workshop than a tomb. Various tools are placed in the corners, as well as some alchemy props with unknown functions.

And in the center of the room, a group of people wearing ordinary clothes The wizards in yellow wizard robes formed a circle to protect the central coffin and the leading wizard.

The leading Egyptian wizard who had greeted Bill was saying something intensely in Arabic.

What were they doing? Ai Question marks slowly appeared on Weiss’s head.

The three of them touched the door of the tomb and carefully stretched their necks to see what was going on inside. Through the gap left among the group of wizards, Ivis could see that The mummy lying in the coffin as an exhibition was taken out.

Although the linen wrapping the mummy had become shabby with the passage of time, it could at least wrap the body completely.

But now, that layer of linen cloth It has been untied. What they can see is that the face of the corpse inside the mummy is severely damaged, and only the human shape can be barely seen. The most important thing is that a large gash has been opened on its chest with a knife!

Look! At this scene, the three people in Ivis who were under the Disillusionment Curse all showed shocked expressions. The corpse inside the mummy was lying alone on the ground, letting the leading Egyptian wizard circle around it and point. In the end What was so crazy was that he even put his hand into the big hole on the corpse’s chest, trying to take out something inside.

Ives frowned, what exactly did he want to do. He reached out and groped for the clothes of Bill and Sirius in the air. He gently pulled his horn twice, signaling them to leave first.

These wizards were obviously dark wizards, and seeking support from Gringotts and the Egyptian Ministry of Magic was the best option.

Bill and Sirius understood, and they were about to turn around and leave. At that time, I heard a familiar voice coming from among the group of wizards.

“Now that you are here, stop hiding.”

This jerky English was very familiar. Ives recognized that this was the leading wizard who had just talked to Bill. He had been discovered!

He was shocked.

Now that he had been discovered, there was nothing he could do.

The three of them chose to take the initiative to remove the illusion. Due to the effect of the body curse, the figure slowly appeared in the air, but they did not enter the tomb, but blocked the door.

Bill opened his mouth and asked:”What are you doing?””

There was a hint of anger in his tone.

When he was studying at Hogwarts, Bill served as a prefect and the president of the boy student union. He was also in O.W.I got 12 certificates in the LS exam and my results were very good.

But he eventually gave up entering the Ministry of Magic and chose to come to Egypt to work as a curse-breaker because of his love for historical sites.

Therefore, after seeing someone destroying cultural relics, he couldn’t help but feel angry.

“What are we doing? The leading wizard looked at Avis

and Sirius,”Do you know that legend?””

“What legend?”Bill asked rhetorically.

“It is said that the ancient magic books and alchemy tools left by the pharaohs are hidden in the pyramid,” he said slowly,”After so many years of research, I am very sure that this legend is… true!

Bill continued to ask:”What does that have to do with mummies!””

“You don’t understand.” He shook his head, raised his wand and cast a powerful spell.

When it was about to attack Bill, Ives quickly propped up the magic barrier and helped him block the attack.

Seeing that his sneak attack had not Having achieved results, the wizard waved his wand and spoke a spell in Arabic.

While he was chanting the spell, his men moved slowly,���One after another, they stood in front of him, but their movements were very stiff, as if… like puppets being manipulated.

They were blown away by the magic of the three Avis, and they got up again and again to block the leading wizard.

“These wizards are not normal,” shouted Sirius.”Did you notice their robes? It looked tattered, as if it had been torn apart by something.”

Avis nodded and affirmed:”Yes, this reminds me of a dark creature.”

“You mean?”Sirius reacted quickly, and after using a disarming spell to knock away the person who rushed towards him, he said in shock:”Inferi?”

“Um.”

As the leading wizard’s spells became more and more urgent, the skin color of the wizards in front of him gradually changed and became more and more livid.

They suddenly roared and pulled off their wizard robes, revealing a pair of iron-clad faces. Cyan, metallic luster body

“This is……”Bill looked at these monsters showing their true colors and recalled something. He said loudly:”These are specially made inferi put into corpses with scarabs. Compared with ordinary inferi, they are more resistant to fire!”

Tricky, this is the only thought in Avis’s mind.

As a product of black magic, puppets like the Inferi can almost only be destroyed by fire. After possessing resistance to fire, coupled with their tireless attack characteristics.

These special Inferi really held the three of them back.

In addition, since this is inside the pyramid, they cannot use powerful magic for fear of causing damage to the pyramid.

The dark wizard, who was blocked behind by the Inferi, stood up in disappointment after repeatedly confirming that there was nothing he was looking for in the mummy’s heart.

He turned around and groped for a while with his right hand on the coffin where the mummy lay. With a rumble, a deep passage appeared at the bottom of the sarcophagus.

“That is……”Bill gritted his teeth and waved his wand a little faster.

But this specially made Inferi was too difficult to deal with, and they could only watch as the dark wizard jumped into the passage at the bottom of the sarcophagus.

After their master left, the Inferi’s true nature was unleashed, and they pounced on the three of them with bared teeth and claws.

A sharp roar echoed in the tomb room

“Get out of here!”Sirius shouted loudly. He raised his wand and pointed it at an inferi and threw a binding spell to lock it in place.

Bill and Ives also followed suit and used binding spells to immobilize the inferi.

However, these guys are really There were too many, and the binding spell did not have a very good effect. They were forced back and forth, and were soon forced out of the tomb.

Ives waved his wand, and a stream of water flowed from the tip of his wand.

The Water Prison Spell!

This was the only way he could think of to temporarily trap the Inferi. He couldn’t use fire to burn the Inferi, leaving traces of smoke.

The water condensed by magic slowly flowed in the air. Rotating, the Inferi were swept up.

Under the control of Ives, all the Inferi were trapped in the water prison.���

The three finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sirius wiped the sweat from his forehead,”Ivis, thank you so much.”

“That’s right,” Bill agreed and then continued,”I already informed the people outside after discovering the dark wizard, and they will arrive in a moment.”

As he said that, he showed a button to everyone.

“Each team that enters the interior of Khafre’s Pyramid will receive this alchemical device, which can not only call for help but also provide location.”

Ives, who is constantly injecting magic power to maintain the water prison spell, just hopes that help will come soon.

……

On the other side, the dark wizard who escaped into the passage under the coffin groped downwards in the narrow tunnel for a long time and finally arrived at his destination.

A huge underground river!

On the riverside, there is a gorgeous ship moored on the shore.

If Avis and the others see it, they will definitely feel familiar, because – this ship is painted on the wall of the room dividing the pyramid, and it is the royal ship of Pharaoh Khafre!

There is also a huge statue of Anubis and a bronze scale on the shore.

Under the influence of magic, these three things are still perfectly protected even though more than three thousand years have passed.

The dark wizard slowly walked to the statue of Anubis, looked at the jackal head with blurred eyes, and murmured in Arabic:”Yatu……”

……

Support from the Egyptian Ministry of Magic finally arrived.

There are a lot of people.

Ives finally released the Inferi trapped in the water prison with confidence. The Egyptian wizards used magic to control an Inferi with ease.

A wizard who seemed to be their leader walked up to an inferi, waved his wand and murmured a spell plausibly.

A white light overflowed from the tip of his staff, covering the still struggling Inferi.

A strange scene appeared. A scarab slowly emerged from the mouth of the Inferi, exposing its entire body to the light of magic. After the scarab’s body was completely exposed, it instantly dried up and turned into ashes.

The moment the Scarab died, the Inferi stopped moving.

Seeing this, the other Egyptian wizards had angry looks on their faces, and they cursed in a low voice.

After seeing the confused expressions of Ivis and Sirius, Bill explained:”The scarab is a totem in the Egyptian Ministry of Magic. In their eyes, it symbolizes the ‘nascent sun and rebirth’. Therefore, using scarabs to make This kind of special Inferi is a serious illegal act in Egypt, and being caught is punishable by death.”

After dealing with all the Inferi, the leader of the Egyptian wizards took the initiative to reach out to Ives and Sirius to thank him:”I am Muhammad , Senior Auror of the Auror Office of the Egyptian Ministry of Magic, thank you very much for your help.”

After introducing himself, Mohammed asked:”So, you saw the dark wizard who controlled the Inferi escape from the coffin in the tomb?”

“That’s right,” Bill confirmed,”there is a secret passage under the sarcophagus, and that’s where he escaped.”
