Chapter 183 The Curse of the Pharaoh (Modified)
Allen took the rusty copper coin and looked at it carefully, but didn't see any changes in it. Perhaps the rust stains on it were too serious, and the rust stains were even scratched into a six-pointed star pattern.
"This was what Ron did when he was a kid!" Arthur reached out to touch Ron's head, but Ron avoided it uncooperatively.
"Ha, Ron is shy." George didn't care about Ron's poor self-esteem at all. "This is his first pocket money, but he didn't know how to spend it at the time."
"No." Ron glared at George.
"This Copper Nut is very meaningful to Ron. After all, it contains his masterpiece when he was a child. I think it would be better for him to keep it!" Allen handed the gold coin to Ron.
Although Ron was disdainful, he still took the coin and put it in his trouser pocket.
"Mr. Weasley, do you know where the energy stone will be placed?" Allen returned to the previous topic, which was what he was most concerned about at the moment.
"Although no one has successfully found the energy stone in historical records, no one can deny its existence."
Arthur touched his chin and continued: "I am more inclined to think that everyone who has obtained the energy stone has chosen to keep this secret."
"It is also possible that he was cursed by the Pharaoh and could not reveal the truth to the world." Bill also joined the discussion.
"Pharaoh's curse? If I learn it, can I curse Malfoy?" Ron was super interested.
"I'm afraid not! I mean, I'm afraid you can't learn!" Bill poured cold water on his brother.
"This curse may be related to the energy stones present in the pyramid. For this reason, Egypt's Ministry of Magic has set up an office to study these curses!" Seeing Ron's hurt expression, Bill explained.
"Here, look, we've arrived at the warning point." Bill pointed to a wall.
A solemn and majestic spell was engraved on the wall: Whoever disturbs the Pharaoh's peace will have the wings of death falling on his head.
"Are we disturbing Pharaoh's peace now?" Ron was afraid.
"Don't worry, Ron. This is a route that has been surveyed by the Ministry of Magic. It can completely ensure your safety."
Bill looked at the twin brothers in front of him and warned loudly: "However, if you break into the unexplored tomb passage, you are likely to be in danger of death."
After passing this warning area, Allen felt that the temperature dropped suddenly and the air became more humid.
The tunnel suddenly ended. A light yellow wall appeared in front of Allen and the others.
Bill illuminated a small hole in the wall with his wand, "Come here. Next we need to take the cable car."
They passed through the small hole and came to a platform. Below the platform was an unfathomable, dark and large open space.
"What's down there?" Ron asked nervously.
"Who knows? Mummies, coffins, jewelry? It's all possible." Bill shrugged.
Bill is the curse-breaker at Gringotts, not the curse-breaker at the Pyramid.
A wizard in blue uniform suddenly appeared on the platform and said expressionlessly to Allen and others: "Ten people, ten gold galleons, thank you!"
"It's so expensive!" Ron curled his lips.
Molly Weasley took out ten gold galleons from her handbag and handed them to the wizard.
After receiving the money, he said mechanically: "Please don't get off the car midway, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences if anything unexpected happens!"
Before anyone could react, he waved his magic wand, and five small, simple cable cars without any surroundings slid over along the cable ropes.
Two by two, Alan and Ron got into the last car.
The cable car started to slide, and you could see the real tomb immediately. Ron was excited and nervous at the same time.
He leaned out half of his body and looked down the cable car, "Alan, there isn't really a mummy down here, is there?"
Allen also looked down, it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
He turned around, immediately grabbed Ron, and pulled Ron back to the seat.
This sudden move scared Ron to the point where he almost dropped his wand.
It turned out that they entered a narrow tomb passage, so narrow that you could touch the walls on both sides if you stretched out your hands.
If Alan hadn't reacted in time, Ron might have hit the wall!
"Oh, thank you, Alan, you saved me again!" Ron looked shocked.
"Nothing, it seems we have to be more careful!" Allen handed a bottle of water to Ron, letting him calm down.
This tomb passage was exceptionally long. On the walls on both sides of the deep tomb passage, Allen found a piece of magic text.
This magic text was repeatedly carved on the wall to warn visitors.
"Anyone who goes to the grave with an impure heart, I will strangle him by the neck like a bird!"
"Another curse!" Ron said impatiently, "Who would enter the pyramid with an impure heart?"
"Yes, I am!" Allen touched his nose uncomfortably and thought, "The impure heart is systematic, I just complete the task."
Further ahead, the names of wizards and Muggles who died under the curse were carved in English on the wall. They were obviously carved by later generations.
The cable car suddenly sped up and they were sliding down, very fast.
"Our cable is broken, is it?" Ron shouted in horror.
"It should be going down! If the cable breaks, we will fall directly!" Alan loudly comforted Ron.
Soon, their downward momentum stopped and they rushed out of the narrow tomb passage and came to an unusually wide space.
The cable car moves forward smoothly and at a constant speed, UU reading www. uukanshu.net Ron felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
"We should be there soon, we have been gliding for a long time." Ron was a little impatient.
With such a complicated route and such a long distance, if there is no cable car, I don’t know how long it will take to get to the tomb.
"It's coming soon, look, the platform!" Allen, who has keen vision, also became excited.
Just when the cable car reached the middle of the space, above Allen and the others, accompanied by a sharp howl, a white figure descended from the sky with claws and teeth.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Allen grabbed the man's arm and pulled him onto the cable car.
Like an octopus, this man hugged Ron tightly in front of him, obviously mistaking him for his own life-saving straw.
The small cable car, which could not bear the capacity of three people, swayed from side to side.
Ron was so frightened that he clung to the armrest and looked at the disheveled woman in front of him with a horrified expression.
"Go quickly!" This cable car has cast an acceleration spell, trying to reach the cable car before it overturns.
The cable car kept spinning in the air and moved forward quickly. Everyone in the car was trying to keep their balance.
After arriving at the platform without any danger, Allen climbed down from the cable car first. He was also quite frightened along the way.
"Miss, it's okay. Can you please let go of my companion?" Allen looked a little embarrassed at the woman who was still holding Ron.
"Great, I'm saved!" This embarrassment and crying woman in her thirties was the same one who made such nonsense outside the pyramid before.
"What's good? We're lost!" Ron disgustedly wiped the snot and saliva left on his freckled face with his hand, and then collapsed after looking around for several times without seeing his family. yelled.
