Chapter 150 City of Death—Hamnaputra
Chapter 150 City of Death—Hamnaputra
"Let's get out of here quickly!" Ron said timidly.
"This is such a good idea!" Rolf patted Ron on the shoulder hard, almost knocking him to the ground.
"This way." Dean said, walking towards Anubis' feet.
"Hey, are you sure you're not going in the wrong direction?" Ron reminded loudly.
"Of course." Dean sensed that Sniff was slowly moving forward somewhere behind the statue of Anubis. In theory, there should be a passage there.
"Have you forgotten that you are a roadie?" Ron muttered. What he wanted to say when they discovered they were going in the wrong direction just now was that following a "famous roadie" on an adventure in an unknown place was really a journey. A wise choice?
"Ron, if you don't have any better suggestions, just follow him quickly, or do you want to stay and have some intimate contact with Anubis?" Rolf asked while following Dean closely.
"Wow, don't leave me!" Ron immediately chased after him.
As Dean moved forward, he continued to use luminous spells to create light sources and spread them around them. As the light sources increased, they gradually saw this huge space clearly.
This is a corridor that covers a large area. A pair of Anubis statues carved from obsidian guard the entrance of the corridor - they entered here through the corridor at the entrance.
The walls of the cloister are covered with exquisite murals.
This space is entirely made of huge stones, and the surface of each stone is covered with exquisite murals.
"These murals..." Rolf took a closer look, a little unsure, "They seem to be unique to the pyramids in Egypt?"
"So we were transported to the pyramids of Egypt?" Ron's voice was full of fear.
"I'm afraid so," Dean said calmly.
"Egypt! Pyramids! Bill is Gringotts' curse-breaker in Egypt. He said that there are terrible curses in the pyramids!" Ron felt that his little heart was about to explode due to being unable to withstand such huge pressure.
"Curse?" Rolf's expression changed a little after hearing this. "Except for professional curse breakers, ordinary wizards rarely survive the curse."
"Can we get out of here quickly?" Ron shook Dean's arm. He felt that everything on the mural might come alive at any time.
"I have no objection." Rolf gave up after looking at a few murals. He couldn't understand the content of the murals at all and was not going to waste any more time - the possible curse also made him feel uncomfortable.
"I'll lead the way. Let's try our luck across the corridor." Dean shrugged and said indifferently.
……
When Ron thought of Bill, his brother was actually not far away from him.
To be precise, it is on the ground of this pyramid.
Long before Dean and others were teleported to the inside of the pyramid, there was a small team busy on the outside of the pyramid on the ground.
The small team is a combination of two wizards and two goblins, one of whom is Ron's eldest brother Bill Weasley, who serves as the Gringotts Curse Breaker.
The pyramid is located in the Sahara Desert in southern Egypt, with only a faint foundation remaining on the surface.
Not far from the pyramid is a dry riverbed.
Bill and another wizard were carefully examining the few remaining foundations on the surface.
Two goblins were sitting on a rock, writing and drawing on parchment with quill pens, discussing something unknown.
[Ragno, are you sure that the ruins of this pyramid are our target? ] One of the goblins asked in goblin language.
[Of course, the prediction I got was very accurate. 】 Ragnor replied without raising his head.
[But is it appropriate for you to be searching for treasures for Gringotts? 】
[Griphook, how dare you question me, don’t forget my identity! 】Lagno said dissatisfied.
[Don't act like a Gringotts employee in front of me, you know I never do that. ] Griphook warned, [I guess you don’t want the people above to know that you are doing it for personal gain, right? 】
[Don’t say it so harshly, I am clearly doing this for personal and public reasons! ] Ragno said harshly.
[I only need to send a letter to know whether your action has been registered with Gringotts. ] Griphook threatened.
[It would be good for both of us if you could pretend not to know. 】 Ragnor snorted and compromised, "Huh, if you weren't more familiar with this place, I would never ask you to cooperate." 】
[I’m afraid you value my personal relationship with Bill and Tertius more, right? ] Pulling the ring without mercy, he said, [Without my help, they would never have come to this barren land with you. 】
[It seems that I need to shout hello to the people above. Since when did the curse breakers hired by Gringotts have to rely on personal connections to do things? ] Ragnow threatened.
[I would like to know if you have the courage - don't forget, although you can make them obey your orders as the special envoy of Gringotts headquarters, it's hard to say how much they can do, right?After all, it’s not you who pays them their salary. ” Griphook sneered, “You will definitely not be able to get evidence for this matter of working hard but not doing your best.Only I can make them go all out like they are now. 】
What else Ragno wanted to say, but the two human wizards had stopped testing and walked towards them together.
Bill Weasley, who put his long red hair into a ponytail and wore a fan-shaped earring on his ear, shouted to the two goblins: "You are right, the 'ruins' of this pyramid are not as simple as they appear. ."
"Did you find anything? Bill." Griphook asked with a smile.
"Tertius and I detected traces of evil curses deep under the ruins." Bill said looking at a short and stocky young man wearing a white turban next to him.
"Those evil curses are buried deep. Even though I am a local, I never thought that there is another mystery under the ruins of this pyramid." Tertius nodded.
"Then what do you think is the possibility that this is Hamnaputra?" Ragno asked a little excitedly.
"The possibility is zero." Bill shrugged, "I know that Hamnaputra is the legendary city of death, with countless treasures buried in it, but you seem to have forgotten the most important point, it must first be a City—and this is an abandoned pyramid.”
"Who says a pyramid can't be built on an underground city?" Ragnow asked slyly.
"You mean that the place where the evil curse is hidden deep underground is Hamnaptra? An underground city?" Tertius shook his head in disapproval, "According to Bill and I's findings, the evil curse underground The distribution is in the shape of an inverted four-sided cone—it’s more like an inverted pyramid than an underground city.”
"Whether it's Hamnaputra or not, won't we find out if we go down and take a look?" Griphook said.
"We don't recommend doing this right away." Bill and Tertius looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
