Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 837: Lavier's Thoughts

The topic shifted to the goblin Zuo Sai, because of Bill's introduction, Fleur, Hermione, and Gabriel didn't have a good impression of him.

"I don't like that goblin," said Gabriel, wrinkling his nose. "He looks cunning."

"Most goblins are like this, they are not worthy of trust..." Fleur said.

In the history of magic, goblins have been trying to resist the rule of human wizards. They rebelled or rebelled for various reasons, causing a lot of trouble to the magic world. They are very smart and good at dealing with wizards. They are two extremes with house elves.

Although nominally still subject to the management of the Ministry of Magic, there is no freedom, but in fact this kind of control has existed in name only.

Hermione once hoped that the house elves could learn from the goblins and protect their own rights.

"Mr. Zuo Sai's temper may not be very good, but he has a lot of research on Egyptian history and ancient magic relics, and he is also very good at cracking various curses. You can learn a lot from him." Lavie said, "So I decided to join his excavation team."

"Have you heard those rumors?" Hermione hesitated, then continued, "It's about the fact that someone in his digging team always dies or goes missing..."

"Have you guys heard about this too?" Lavier froze for a moment, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, "Yes, there have been such rumors, and the Ministry of Magic has investigated him many times, but there has been no evidence."

"He did it very carefully, and no one else knew." Bill said, looking away from the sun ruins excavation drawings, and joined their conversation, "The work of the curse breaker itself is very dangerous, and casualties are very common. Zuo Sai is also good at picking himself out of various troubles, but these things did happen..."

"I know what you said, Mr. Weasley, many people have reminded me." Lavier said, his voice became lower and lower, "I have a very good friend who joined Zuo Sai's excavation back then. In the team, never came back."

No one spoke, and it seemed that it was not that simple for Laviere to join the Zuo Sai digging team.

She seems to want to collect evidence to avenge her friend, but she has found nothing until now.

"I hope you don't tell this matter. I won't give up until I investigate the truth." Lavier said again, clenching his fists, "This exploration of the sun ruins is an opportunity. Seeing the portrait of Anubis on the wall..."

Anubis is the guide and guardian of the undead, and its appearance often indicates the need for sacrifices of living souls.

If Zuo Sai wanted to obtain the ultimate treasure, he would definitely attack other people, and there would be evidence at that time.

Hermione looked at Lavier in surprise, she didn't expect this girl with a smile on her face to have such an idea, to risk herself to collect evidence of Zuo Sai...

"If there is anything that needs help, just speak up, and we will help you." Bill sighed and said, "In short, you must remember that Zuo Sai is a dangerous guy. The excavation of the sun ruins this time, You guys have to be careful and don't separate."

After they discussed various rumors about Zuo Sai for a while, the topic finally turned to the sun ruins being excavated.

"The Sun Relic is located in the center of the city of Peer-Ramesses. It is a large building that has been buried under thick gravel. For thousands of years, whenever people tried to dig it out, the sand quickly filled it. Back to the dug bunker, the excavation project has been unsuccessful." Lavier said, "In Egypt, the wizards called the yellow sand the impenetrable shadow of oblivion."

"Why not use magic to remove the grit?" Gabriel asked.

"Because the yellow sand itself has been enchanted, as a natural barrier to stop intruders." Bill said, "until those explorers discovered a passage into it not long ago, this ancient ruins can be displayed in the world. In front of the world."

"Look at this picture. The first floor of the Sun Ruins is very large, and the buildings inside are intricate. Various precious ancient relics, terrible curses, and automatic defense systems can be seen everywhere." Lavier's finger slid across the drawing, pointing Looking at the narrow line on the edge, "After some exploration, we found a secret passage full of scarabs. Mr. Zoyce speculated that it might lead to the central area."

"Central region?!"

"Yes, this secret passage is under a statue of Isis, she is the goddess who protects the dead." Lavier said, lowering his voice, "Through that passage, we enter the underground area of ​​​​the sun ruins, where we find Many valuable antiquities were recovered, and a stone gate and three huge obelisks, representing the sun, moon and stars, were also found."

The obelisk is the most distinctive ancient Egyptian building except the pyramid.

Its shape is in the shape of a pointed square column, gradually shrinking from bottom to top, and the top is shaped like a pyramid tip. The spire is often wrapped with gold, copper or gold-silver alloy. Some magical obelisks also use strange crystals and gemstones on the top. And all kinds of mithril ore.

Generally speaking, obelisks are built in the most prominent places.

Carved from a single block of granite, it weighed several hundred tons and was carved on all four sides with intricate hieroglyphs or spell runes praising the gods and pharaohs.

When the rising sun shines on the tip of the monument, it will shine like a dazzling sun.

It was the first time Hermione, Fleur, and Gabriel had heard of the construction of an obelisk deep underground, and Bill also became interested.

No matter from which angle you look at it, the Sun Ruins are extraordinary, and there may really be important treasures hidden inside.

"We have investigated carefully, and the method to open the stone door is on the three obelisks." Lavier continued, "The above is not the magic we are familiar with, but alchemy, and alchemy skills must be used Only then can this mechanism be unlocked.”

"That's why Zuo Sai found Ivan?" Hermione asked, staring carefully at the blueprint in front of her.

"It should be like this. We came back to Cairo for repairs this time, just to find alchemists or wizards who are proficient in alchemy. We have invited a few of them before." Lavier said hesitantly, "I didn't expect that, Zuo Sai Sir will invite Mr Mason..."

"He said it was because of Nicole Flamel's letter, but Ivan is really strong in this regard."

Hermione thought about it for a while, and said her conjecture last night, and listened to Lavier's opinion.

"You can draw these inferences just by looking at the materials?!" Lavier looked at Hermione with admiration, "The excavation team also speculated about what you said, because we didn't find the sun god in the sun ruins. Instead, they are all statues of gods guarding the dead, and the curses inside are also very powerful, and many people have died."

She told them a few more things, all cases of tragic deaths due to touching the curse.

When they passed through the secret passage full of scarabs, the first two people who went in were drilled into their bodies by worms. If they hadn't reacted quickly enough to dig out the flesh and worms together, they might be eaten by those scarabs. null,

In the end, they set fire to it for several days before they could get through the passage.

Lavier didn't care about the danger, she seemed to think that the more dangerous it was, the more Zuosai would be able to show his feet.

If Aiwen was here, he would definitely tell her that it doesn't need to be so troublesome, he has already solved the problem!

Under the effect of Veritaserum, Zuo Sai revealed all his past crimes, and now he just needs to make these things public.
