This girl possesses a very special kind of magic, said Evan, looking at her back.
Obviously, thats witchcraft! Bill replied. Fleur, Hermione, and Gabrielle all looked at him in astonishnt.
In their minds, witchcraft was just as bad as Dark magic, and Rawya was nothing like a Dark wizard.
In Africa, witchcraft is a very common magic, not as mysterious as you think, and not all evil magic. In fact, witchcraft has the sa effect as the magic were familiar with, but the casting thod is different and more complex and secretive, said Bill, leading everyone forward. Because of her family heritage, Rawya has a natural talent for witchcraft, which is why she was noticed by Zoser
You an that scary-looking goblin?!
Yeah, hes the one you really have to be careful of, said Bill solemnly. If you work in Gringotts in Egypt, the first thing I want to warn you is not to get close to that goblin. There are many bad rumors about him.
There was a mont of silence, it could be seen that Bill was not pleased with that goblin.
Bad rumors, such as? asked Fleur with interest.
Im not used to speaking ill of my colleagues behind their backs, but you should know that many ancient relics involve curses that need the blood, limbs and even lives and souls of living people to break. Generally, when we encounter these curses, we give up digging, said Bill. But Zoser is different. In the goblins eyes, there is only wealth, and he doesnt care about other peoples lives. His excavation team can always find more treasures, but mbers often go missing.
Oh my goodness, Bill, you dont an Everyone looked at him in shock.
The aning in Bills words was obvious. Those who were missing were sacrificed to break the curses.
Behind the scenes, planning all this was the goblin they had just seen.
Thinking about it, it was really chilling.
Theres no evidence, as long as treasures or ancient magical items can be found, the living people can always get generous rewards, and no one will care about the missing team mbers, Bill sighed. You know, Gringotts Curse-Breaker or explorer is a very dangerous job, and people often die. So of the wizards who want to work here, like , are very passionate about this line of business, while others are solely driven by money. They dont care about the danger.
Whenever wealth and power were involved, beneath the seemingly calm surface, there often lurked unknown evil.
This was an unchanging truth, and one shouldnt be fooled by peaceful appearances.
Isnt it very dangerous for Rawya? said Hermione worriedly. We should tell her about it.
I told her about it, but she didnt take it to heart, said Bill. You dont have to worry too much. There should be no big problem. Shes a sixth-year at Karnak Egyptian School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She only cos to Gringotts for an internship during the sumr vacation, so she will only follow Zosers excavation team in the next two months. I heard that they are going to dig in the ruins of Amun Ra.
The ruins left by Pharaoh Ramses II you told about yesterday?!
Yeah, according to the style of Ramses II, he will not leave a curse in the ruins that requires human life to break, Bill continued. That kind of thing happened during earlier dynasties, such as the Scorpion King.
Not exactly, Mr. Weasley! A sharp voice ca from behind them. Cleopatra in the desert likes blood. We need to use blood to appease her, but only when it cos to the curse of Isis and Nephthys, we use human blood, because the blood of other creatures is ineffective.
Evan looked back and saw that the fierce-looking, white-haired goblin Zoser was approaching them.
Its not evil, its just a little blood, but when entering the temple of Anubis, we need to be extra careful because it needs a soul, and its a good practice to keep a few animals in the excavation team. I usually carry a snake, mouse or rabbit with . They can save your life at a critical mont, Zoser continued, and walked to Evans front. If you encounter Horus, it will be much more troubleso. He governs order, which is a very troubleso point.
What does he require? Evan asked.
If you have visited the museum, you will know that there are usually four canopic jars with internal organs next to the mummy, which correspond to Horuss four sons, symbolizing kingship. The jar with a human head holds the liver, and the jar with a baboon head is used for the lungs, the one with the head of a jackal is used to hold the stomach, and the jar with the head of a falcon contains the intestines, said Zoser, revealing his sharp teeth. Its quite clear, isnt it? The gods of ancient Egypt have clearly told future generations everything they need. We can know their preferences from many clues, as long as we follow them. These are the top curses, and breaking them will reveal the treasure of Pharaoh.
That sounds great! said Bill in a sarcastic tone, taking a step forward in front of Evan. This is the main reason you can always break those curses, because you know what they require.
This is the simplest way, Mr. Weasley. We have to pay attention to efficiency! Zoser turned to Evan, his eyes flashing with dangerous light. You must be Evan Mason, the young wizard who applied to view the Erald Tablet?
Thats , Evan nodded.
You should already know who I am. I heard youd learned Alchemy with Nicolas Flal. I assu youre not too bad, Zoser continued, bypassing Bill in front of him. There is no need to hide it. During the excavation of the relics of Amun Ra, we encountered a small problem that needs to be solved using Alchemy
Hearing this, Evan understood why he ca to find him. The goblin needed him to help solve the so-called small problem.
Alchemy was very rare. Most alchemists were only involved in superficial matters, and those who got the full inheritance like Evan were in the minority.
Sorry, but I dont have ti
Dont rush to refuse, human. Without my help, you will never see the Erald Tablet, said Zoser, looking at Evan. Help my excavation team solve that problem, I can let you view the Erald Tablet now, and you will have a share of the treasure found in the relics of Amun Ra.
I dont seem to have a choice, said Evan, looking at the unpleasant goblin.
This is a matter of mutual benefit, not coercion, Mr. Mason! The goblin continued, showing an ugly smile. Ill be staying here for the next few days. If youre willing to join my excavation team, you can co find anyti
