Previously, Bill and Elwyn had talked about it.
Now, after listening to Lavier's explanation, Elwyn had a deeper understanding of the current state of Egypt's magic world.
Wizards, fairies, adventurers, and Muggle working together to excavate a ruin was rare for him, but it was common in Egypt.
As the most important country in the ancient magic era, Egypt had too many ruins.
There were all kinds of ancient ruins in every corner of the country.
Wizards couldn't clear them all, even if they hired adventurers and Gringotts fairies to help.
That was why they left areas without magic to the Muggles to deal with.
For example, the work of breaking the curse inside the Great Pyramid had never stopped.
Many wizards and fairies firmly believed that there were undiscovered magic treasures inside the Great Pyramid.
Bill's previous job in Egypt was to lead a team of curse breakers to break the curse inside the Pyramid of Menkaure and find the hidden treasures. He had also taken Elwyn, Hermione, Gabri, and Hibiscus Chinensis in for a tour.
Those who hadn't seen that scene might not be able to imagine it …
In the tomb of the pharaoh, there was a seemingly ordinary stone door that had thousands of curses cast on it by ancient Egyptian wizards.
No matter who it was, as long as they touched that door, they would definitely die.
The pyramids were dangerous, and there were many cursed places like this.
But for Muggle, it was a famous tourist attraction, and millions of people visited it every year.
If it was in the UK, this would never happen.
Not to mention tourist attractions, all the ancient magic ruins had been cursed with a Muggle Banishing Curse. There wasn't a single Muggle nearby.
There was another reason for this, and that was that the Egyptian Ministry of Magic's control was very weak.
In fact, the entire region was like this.
Rather than letting adventurers steal those precious magic ruins, it was better to adopt this kind of cooperation.
It was the same with the fairies of Gringotts, because they had money. Therefore, the home of the fairies was Northern Europe, and Gringotts' headquarters was in the UK, but the most powerful places were in the Middle East and Africa …
From the management of the excavation of the ancient magic ruins, one could see how terrible the actual situation in Egypt was.
The countries around Egypt were also extremely unstable, and there were also the strange Curse Masters from Africa.
Elwyn could not help but think that if Lord Voldemort rose to power in this country and developed his dark forces, he would probably not encounter any opponents or resistance. In a few years, he could start his evil rule. At that time, he could build an army with Egypt as a base and expand to the surrounding areas …
He shook his head. It was too scary to continue thinking like this.
At that time, the scale of the Sorcerer War would expand to the whole world.
The impact, intensity, and difficulty of the war would also multiply. The number of Death Eaters alone would probably be more than ten thousand …
Fortunately, with Lord Voldemort's personality, he would not give up on England and the Hogwarts. He would definitely stay in England and fight against Dumbledore and Elwyn. At the same time, Lord Voldemort looked down on the wizards in this area and looked down on their bloodline.
"What's the connection between the room with the time distortion phenomenon and these tombs?" Elwyn asked.
"Muggle's excavation team has cleaned up the tombs. We originally thought this was the edge of the ruins, but we found a passage in one of the tombs that leads to the room with the time distortion you mentioned …"
"Another secret passage!" Elwyn exclaimed.
From the current situation, the structure of the Sun ruins was quite complicated, and there were many secret passages.
This reminded Elwyn of the Hogwarts. There were a large number of secret passages in the castle, and no one could completely control them.
"Yes, another secret passage, there's nothing strange about it. The reign of Ramses II was the period when ancient Egypt was at its strongest, so the popular ancient buildings of that era were spectacular. At the same time, they were very complicated and had many secrets. The excavation has been going on for more than a year, but until now, we haven't been able to grasp the overall outline of the Sun ruins, only a general idea. " Seeing the surprised expression on Elwyn's face, Lavier explained, "After discovering the secret passage, the Ministry of Magic sent people to check the tombs one by one. Because the excavation progress of the main building has been very slow, the sprites from Gringotts even brought people to excavate the secret room …"
Elwyn knew what happened after that. The excavation team that was sent over suffered heavy losses.
Because of the time chaos in the secret room, the people who entered it aged faster and finally turned into dust.
"Hmm, what did they find?"
"There were some gains, and we can speculate who the god worshiped in the secret room is," Lavier said. "Although the time in the secret room is chaotic, and the excavation team has no way to enter, after checking the tombs above, they found a total of three similar secret passages. One of them leads to the main building of the Sun ruins, which has not been completely cleaned up; the other leads to another hidden secret room, where the statue of Domtev is worshiped …"
"Domtev." Elwyn thought for a moment and said softly, "The God of Funeral!"
Since last year, he had been learning about the ancient gods of Egypt.
The God of Funeral, Domtev, was the son of Horus, one of the four sons. The other three were Imset, Habbi, and Kaibshanaf. They usually appeared on the jars containing the organs of the deceased, and they managed the stomach, intestines, lungs, and liver of the deceased.
"Since you know Domtev, then you should know that the four gods in charge of funerals always appear at the same time," Lavier said, raising her voice slightly. Lavier said, raising his voice slightly. "This means that there are other secret chambers beneath the tombs. At the same time, considering that these four gods are the four sons of the guardian god Horus, many experts believe that Horus, who hasn't been seen in the God Vault, might be in this area … "
From Lavier's tone, it was easy to tell that she was a little excited.
Elwyn knew why she was excited. The excavation of the Sun ruins had been going on for so long, but they hadn't found anything of value.
If they could find Horus, it would be big enough news.
In ancient Egypt, Horus was a very important god, and he was also known as the symbol of royal power.
Since his location had been deduced, the importance of the tombs at the edge of the ruins had risen rapidly.
"After Domtev's statue was discovered, the Muggle's excavation in that area was suspended," Lavier said excitedly. "I've studied it carefully, and the god Horus must be nearby. Many people believe that he's in the secret room with chaotic time, and there are treasures related to him there. We …"
"Does that mean that if I enter that secret room, I might encounter a curse related to Horus, in addition to the chaotic time?" Elwyn interrupted Lavier and said hesitantly, "I heard from Bill that the curses left behind by the wizards of ancient Egypt are often related to the gods worshiped in the ruins …"
