Chapter 1197: Three Obelisks
The wizards waved their wands, and spells of white light flew towards the huge stone door.
The magic collides with the curse above, emitting a dazzling purple glow.
"These spells are of little use. Evan said, looking at it carefully for a moment.
Although he hadn't figured out the specific purpose of the magic array laid out in the hall, it was obvious that some of the magic power was transported to the stone door in front of him through the jade on the ground and in the dome, replenishing the power consumed on the stone door.
"It will consume some of the power of the curse, although it is very small!" Lavier said, "At the current rate, it will take at least ten years to open this stone door and enter the area behind." ”
"It's too slow, is there no other way?"
"There's no good way to crack it, other spells will cause the curse to fight back, and only a few spells can drain their mana little bit. The elves had intended to open a crack in the wall, but the Ministry of Magic didn't agree to do so, so there was no one in the entire Temple of the Gods, and everyone gathered in Excavation Area 2. ”
As Lavier said, compared to the slightly deserted Dome of the Gods, Excavation Area 2 is much livelier.
As soon as Evan and Lavier got out of the cart, they saw that the makeshift platform was full of people, almost all the wizards who had been attending the International Alchemy Congress not long ago, as well as adventurers from all over the world, the goblins of Gringotts, and the official digging team.
The platform was full of people, and the wizards looked around with interest.
They talked, taking a closer look at the ancient buildings around them.
Wizards were waiting in line to enter Excavation Area 2, where there was a narrow hole on the inside of the platform.
It is left behind by previous adventurers when they discovered the Sun Ruins, and it is also the entrance to the interior of the Ruins.
Above the hole, through a thick layer of gravel, a metal pipe was installed.
This was the passage they used to enter the Sun Ruins last year, but it's now closed!
Underneath is an open pit that can be lowered with a rope......
Evan and Lavier waited more than twenty minutes before it was the two of them's turn.
Descending the rope, underneath the platform is a small, badly damaged chamber.
The room was vandalized and looted by the original intruders, the elaborate statues were pushed to the ground and were not recognizable, the walls were magically destroyed with shocking pits, as if they had been burned by fire, and the marks of jewellery and gold prying off the walls and idols with sharp weapons were everywhere......
The main entrance to the chamber is intact, but there are many holes in the walls and floor that lead to the rest of the ruins.
In the corner on the left, there is a statue of the goddess Isis.
In ancient Egypt, she was one of the most important deities, worshipped as the ideal mother and wife, the mother and protector of Horus, and the friend of slaves, sinners, craftsmen, and oppressed, and was known as the protector of the dead and young children.
At this moment, the statue of the goddess was also ruthlessly pushed, only half of the gorgeous wings remained, the scepter and head in the hand did not know where to go, and even the ground under his feet was gouged open, and the secret passage leading to the room of the three obelisks was there.
"The secret passage was discovered by Mr. Zosey, but when we entered, it had become like this. "Those adventurers don't care about any rules or curses, they don't even care about their lives, they just want treasure, they are a bunch of fools who are even more greedy than goblins, in order to find treasures, they will do whatever it takes to look around, they are all destroyed by those people......"
"The Ministry of Magic allowed them to do this?" Evan asked, surprised.
"It's forbidden by law, but the law also stipulates that anyone who has registered adventurers can explore the ancient magical relics of Egypt, so the Ministry of Magic and Gringotts can't stop them from entering, and as long as they don't get caught destroying the artifacts, there's nothing the Aurors can do. "In fact, the methods of destruction by those who risk taking place are the ones above are happy to see......
"Would love to see it!" Evan blinked, as if he understood something.
"Yes, that's why there's so much chaos inside the Sun Ruins, but you can't even see an Auror. "There are a lot of rumors, but this has almost become the unspoken rule of the excavation of the ruins!"
This kind of thing sounds puzzling at first, but combined with the formal spell-undoing work I just saw in the Temple of the Gods, it is not difficult to understand why the upper echelons of the Egyptian magical community have an ambiguous attitude towards these adventurers who destroy ancient ruins.
You must know that with the current level of magic, it may take tens of hundreds of years to complete the complete excavation of a large ruin by using normal methods to solve the spell.
For example, the Great Pyramids and the tombs in the Valley of the Kings have been excavated for three centuries since they were discovered.
But until now, there are countless curses in the pyramid.
In the same way, the relics of ancient magic of the size of the Sun Ruins would take at least a few centuries......
The elves couldn't have waited so long, and they wanted to get their hands on the treasure in the ruins right away.
It is not impossible to use the gold galleons to get the upper echelons of the Ministry of Magic to give some convenience within the loopholes allowed by law.
Not to mention, there may also be a collection of the Golden Sutra of the Sun in the Sun Ruins.
No wizard can resist the temptation of this magic book that can lead to eternal life.
It would be impossible for someone to say that the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic had no idea about this magic book.
If you really find this magic book, they will be the biggest beneficiaries.
Since Voldemort's return, Fudge and the British Ministry of Magic have behaved poorly, allowing Evan to see through the politicians for what they are.
As it stands, the Egyptian Ministry of Magic is about the same.
It's just that the pure-blood wizard families in Egypt are weaker and replaced by goblins and Gringotts.
That's why so many adventurers are allowed to enter the Sun Ruins.
They didn't know how to dig, they didn't know how to unravel spells, they didn't even know the history of ancient Egypt.
These adventurers only know how to destroy, and obtain the treasures in the ruins through the means of destruction......
Looking at the fierce-looking adventurers with tools around him, Evan knew that destruction and evil like this chamber was going on in unknown places throughout the Sun Ruins, but it was precisely because of this criminal act that the excavation progress of the entire ruins was much faster.
Thinking about this, he suddenly felt nauseous.
Whether it was these adventurers, or the elves and high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic who provided shelter for their evils, he was bored.
Irvin was not interested in looking around, and he followed Lavier into the secret passage under the statue of the goddess Isis.
When it was first discovered, the passage was crawling with scarabs, but now it was empty except for the obvious signs of flames......
Entering the chamber through the secret passage, three huge obelisks appeared in front of him. [.]
