Chapter 1192: Excavation Team
Not long ago, Lavier graduated from school and joined Gringotts as an official spellbreaker.
As an inexperienced novice, they generally do not directly excavate archaeology in the field, but are sent to relatively mature ruins such as the Great Pyramids and the Valley of the Kings, and are promoted little by little according to their performance and achievements.
Excavations of those ruins have been going on for centuries since Gringotts entered Egypt.
In other words, it's hard to find anything new there, and it's a lot of trouble to leave the curse unbroken.
Last year, under Bill's leadership, Evan visited the spellbreakers working in the Great Pyramid, and he was impressed by the cracking of one of the curses, and the novice spellbreakers worked in teams of five, divided into four teams, and used a kind of magic on a stone wall day and night, draining the curse power on it.
This is the mantra solution, and the whole process is quite tedious, boring, and also tiring.
Bill tells Evan that at the current rate, in another hundred years, they can consume the curse power on this wall and enter the back.
As for what is behind the wall, it is better to have undiscovered treasures.
But based on previous experience, it may still be a wall......
It's unimaginably boring to be so bored that every newbie survives.
Luckily, Lavière was just in time for the excavations of the sun's relics.
She'd been on Elven Zosai's team before, and she was familiar with the Sun Ruins, and this experience had allowed her to join the team she was now.
As Lavier had always told Aven, this was her chance, and she had to take it.
If she can't catch it, she'll have to go back to doing that boring cracking job like everyone else!
This girl is probably ready to dedicate her life to Egyptian archaeology, desperately hoping to prove her ability, or is it the same sentence, as long as she can find enough heavyweight treasures in this excavation, she can stay in this team, continue to excavate other newly discovered important ruins, and even form her own excavation team.
All things considered, Evan felt that he still did his best to help Lavier.
Although they have not known each other for a long time, Lavier has helped him a lot, and he can't watch her go back and waste his life......
This is the main reason why Evan did not join Paul's alchemy team, but eventually accepted Lavier's invitation to join her excavation team, which was the official excavation team of the Egyptian Ministry of Magic and Gringotts, numbered nineteen, and was mainly responsible for the exploration of the eastern side of the second excavation route that Ravier and Aven had mentioned.
The number of the excavation team was about twenty-five people, including ten spell solvers, five goblins, and ten support personnel.
There are also four alchemists who were hired like Evan this time, forming a mining team of thirty people.
The captain is a goblin with a strange-sounding name called Pendulum.
Pendulum is a very typical elf, he has worked in the Gringotts headquarters in England for a long time, has a wealth of experience in jewelry and ancient artifacts, and he also tried his best to invite Evan to join their team, probably because of his long-term work in the United Kingdom, he knows Dumbledore better than other Egyptian wizards and elves, and became interested in Evan when he learned that Evan was recommended by Dumbledore and Nicol Lemay.
He hired Evan for a month, and was paid a thousand Galleons.
That is, more than 30 gold galleons a day, which seems to be a lot, but in terms of the current market, it is not very high.
You know, there are many private teams out there that even offer tens of thousands of alchemists to recruit.
However, with the greed and stinginess of the elves, this is definitely a higher price that Gringotts officials are willing to pay at the moment.
Aven had inquired privately, and the other four alchemists who had been hired with him had even fewer ......
That's all he knew after joining the digging team, and this goblin was really talkative.
Pendulum talks to Aven about the excavation of the Sun's Ruins, the alchemical traps within, the current situation, the impact of Voldemort's return, concerns about the future of Gringotts, and even the legendary magical artifact "Gryffindor's Sword" that is housed at Hogwarts.
It can be seen that he is obsessed with this.
This famous sword is known to be made by goblins.
Although Gryffindor paid him back then, the elves insisted that they had ownership of the sword, and that Gryffindor only had the right to use the sword, and after his death, he was to return the sword to the elves.
Presumably the other elves were like this, always wanting to get the sword back.
Evan didn't think so, the sword had now become a symbol of the Gryffindor House, not to mention that after he retrieved the scabbard, the sword possessed extremely strong magical powers, in fact, even if the Gryffindor sword was returned to the elf, they would not be able to keep it for long.
The magic that Gryffindor left on it allowed every true Gryffindor to pull the sword out of the Sorting Hat.
Aside from his penchant for treasures and fairy products, the pendulum generally gives Evan a pretty good feeling.
But he also knew that what he saw was probably just a façade.
The goblins are unreliable, and they have a natural hatred for wizards.
Don't look at the pendulum and Evan are very chatty, but no one knows what he thinks in his heart.
In addition, the excavation team also has a vice-captain sent by the Egyptian Ministry of Magic.
It was an Arab, the name was too long for Evan to remember, and together with the others he called him Mr. Said.
Mr. Said served as vice-captain, which was the main surveillance measure taken by the Egyptian Ministry of Magic after the Zuosai incident. They searched Zosai's vault and found many artifacts and ancient magical items that should have been turned in, as well as evidence that he had resold them to European pure-blood wizard families.
This made the Egyptian wizards particularly distrustful of the elves, and finally had an excuse to intervene in the excavation.
The Ministry of Magic has sent special investigators to each of Gringotts' excavation teams, serving as vice-captains.
But to be honest, even a layman like Evan thinks that this Mr. Said is here to pull the strings.
First of all, as a typical Arab, he seems to be unable to accept the presence of women in the excavation team, and Mr. Said almost never says a word to Lavier, nor does he have any good feelings towards her, even with the hostility of Aven, who has been invited by Lavier.
Secondly, he seems to hate goblins very much, and every time he talks to the pendulum, he looks angry.
Third, he seems to hate foreign wizards, especially those from Europe and the United States, and targets them everywhere.
This embarrassed the eight spellbreakers from Europe in the excavation team, and was ostracized by the other Arabs.
Fourth, he doesn't know anything about digging up and unraveling spells, but he always likes to express his opinions.
And he represents the Egyptian Ministry of Magic, which gives the excavation team a lot of things to listen to.
Lavier told Evan that it was because of Mr. Said that normal excavations were slow.
These are the details of Gringotts' Excavation Team 19, which is troublesome, but it has nothing to do with Aven.
He didn't plan to stay in the digging team for long, and he would leave when he found what he wanted...... [.]
