Chapter 1191: Entering the Sun Ruins
As for why these four statues reacted, the specific reason is unknown!
The principle of the Sorting Hat is soul magic, and each of the four founders of Hogwarts has instilled a part of its thoughts.
The Sorting Hat was able to see through the students and sort them according to the traits they valued by the four founders.
It is certain that these four statues do not have this kind of magic on them, and the creators of Ivamoni probably do not have the ability of the four founders of Hogwarts to instill thoughts into the statues, and there is no spell in the existing magic system that can have this effect.
Therefore, in the eyes of most wizards, it is incredible that these four statues can react to students.
There is a lot of talk about it, and because of this, there is a legend of the existence of Indian holy weapons......
Many wizards are curious about the inner workings of the statue, wondering if there is a legendary artifact inside.
But it seems that no wizard other than Grindelwald dared to destroy these four statues......
After a long observation of the students of the four houses, the wizards found that they clearly had different characteristics, and some said that the four houses of Ivamoni were the epitome of the inner life of the wizard or witch: the horned water serpent represented wisdom, the cat-leopard represented the body, the goblin represented the heart, and the thunderbird represented the soul.
It is also said that the Water Snake Academy favors the intelligent and love to read, the Cat and Leopard Academy advocates warriors, the Goblin Academy is mostly for kind-hearted healers, and the Thunderbird Academy is mostly for those who like adventure.
This distinction is very obvious, indicating that the distribution of statues to students is not random, but according to some kind of law.
It can be inferred that the sacristy inside the statue may have the effect of identifying the inner qualities of each person.
From this point of view, the so-called Indian holy weapon is indeed worthy of its name and powerful enough.
Although Ivamoni has long been considered a Hogwarts legacy in the Americas, and there are many similarities between the two schools of witchcraft and wizardry, there are differences between Hogwarts and Ivamoni, not just in the Sorting Ceremony.
Unlike wizards in England who buy their wands themselves, in Ivamoni, students are directed to a large hall where they choose their wands after they have been assigned to the various houses.
Or rather, the wand chooses the owner.
This custom was still practiced in the North American wizarding world until 1965, when the Rappaport Law (the famous law of segregation between wizards and Muggles) was repealed, and secrecy laws were very strict.
All young wizards are not allowed to hold wands until they go to the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
In addition, wands are not allowed to be carried out of school during the holidays, and must be surrendered, and only wizards who are at least seventeen years old can legally carry wands outside the school, which is much stricter than the secrecy laws and wand use laws in Europe.
To this day, of course, this decree has been repealed, and Ivamoni no longer offers wands.
But the management of the student wand has never been relaxed.
During the holidays, students under the age of 17 are still required to surrender their wands and be managed by the school.
In addition to this difference, another difference is that there are still many goblins who work in Ivamoni and hold important positions, which also makes wizards joke that Ivamoni is a school controlled by goblins.
It's impossible to meet a goblin at Hogwarts.
However, goblins are common in Ivamoni, and they are not slaves like house-elves, but school administrators.
Imagine the image where students are required to follow the orders of the goblins during their time at school......
It sounds somewhat funny, but it brings a lot of benefits.
First, the goblins of the Americas are rich, and secondly, they are interested in all kinds of strange magical items.
They'll pay to get enough of it from their students, and they'll also post tasks and lots of orders for students to make for them.
This is also the main reason why alchemy, potions, etc. are relatively well developed in Ivamoni.
In addition, the biggest effect of having a large number of goblins is that the underground part of Ivamoni is getting bigger and bigger.
Although the goblins in the Americas were wiser and richer than their close relatives in Europe, they still maintained the primitive habit of digging holes, and the underground part of Ivamoni was quite large, expanding around it based on the remains left by the ancient Indians, and no one has been able to explore it in its entirety to this day.
For security reasons, students are not allowed to enter the school.
But as if it were the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, there were still a lot of students sneaking in.
There are many people who find ancient goblins or treasures left by Indians in it, and they are famous for it......
These are the details of Ivamoni, and through Paul's introduction, Evan is full of anticipation there.
If you have the opportunity to study in other schools, it is indeed a good thing.
There is also the Karnak School of Magic and Wizardry in Egypt, and Evan also learned a lot about this magic school from Ravier, whether it is the Great Pyramid of Karnak or the Mausoleum of the Gods, which makes him yearn for it.
Unfortunately, without the invitation of the school, outsiders like him were not allowed to enter it at all.
I said it before, and it doesn't necessarily mean that there is no chance.
But given the current tensions in the wizarding world, such an application is simply not likely to be granted.
The study tour can be put later, and the top priority is to defeat Voldemort first.
This is the situation in front of Aven, who is going to enter the Sun Ruins to find something that will enhance the power of the Time Turner, and go back to Hogwarts a thousand years ago to ask Ravenclaw for her treasure key......
During the International Alchemy Congress, the situation in Cairo changed again.
Gringotts, plagued by the large number of alchemical magic mechanisms in the Sun Ruins, took advantage of the opportunity of this conference to finally recruit wizards who are proficient in alchemy to join the excavation team on a large scale.
In addition, there are many unofficial excavation teams that are also hiring.
There are partnerships, which are agreed to be distributed according to a certain percentage if there is a harvest, and there are also mercenary systems, where alchemists are hired to help a certain amount of gold galleons every day, and the price varies from tens of gold gallons to thousands of gold gallons.
Although there were a large number of alchemists who came to the meeting, after half a month, almost all of them were hired.
Even if not everyone wants to dig and hunt for treasure, no one is not curious about the alchemical mechanism left behind by Messis II.
Since they have all gone to Egypt, they don't care about staying a few more days and going to the Sun Ruins to see them.
In such a situation, the wizards are gearing up to make a big deal in the ruins of the sun.
Waiting for the end, there are not many people in the main venue of the International Alchemy Conference!
The wizards all ran to the Sun Ruins, and Lavier told Evan that all the alchemists, plus the members of the excavation team and the adventurers who flocked to the Sun Ruins because of the treasures, the number of wizards who had entered or were about to enter the Sun Ruins in the past few days exceeded 10,000, which was simply incredible.
Due to the large number of people, all did not seem to consider whether there was a danger or not.
In such a frenzy that it was almost a group visit, Evan finally followed Lavier's excavation team into the ruins...... [.]
