The exit of the secret passage was located on a semi-circular stone platform that protruded from the wall. Standing there, one could see everything below.
The entire room was very large, and the surrounding walls were filled with murals. Below were all Wizards.
Three huge obelisks stood in the center, forming a triangle.
These three obelisks were the Sun Obelisk, the Moon Obelisk, and the Stars Obelisk.
Elwyn could recognize them without Lavier's introduction.
It was very easy to recognize, as the top of the three obelisks were carved with the symbols of the sun, moon, and stars.
They were almost parallel to Elwyn's current height, and he could see them without much effort.
These three eye-catching symbols were made of green jade. Under the illumination of the torch, the jade shone with a strange radiance that could not be ignored. Just one look at it would make one intoxicated. The Wizards who had just entered the secret room were like Elwyn, staring at these three symbols …
It was undeniable that under the contrast of the jade symbols, the three giant obelisks were filled with a simple, mysterious, and spectacular aura.
However, when Elwyn's gaze moved down to the obelisks, his first feeling was discomfort.
What was uncomfortable was not the somewhat strange shape, but the color of all the rocks used to build the obelisks.
"You didn't tell me that these three obelisks are red and black!" Elwyn said to Lavier.
"Oh, I don't think this is something worth noting. Although rocks of this color are rare in Egypt, it would not be too difficult for Ramses II to get a few of these stones," Lavier replied, seemingly surprised that Elwyn would ask this. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Lavier replied, seemingly surprised that Elwyn would ask this.
Elwyn shook his head. He could not tell what was wrong, but he just felt uncomfortable.
The main rock of the three obelisks in front of him was not a pure color, but a strange red and black.
Generally speaking, there was more black, as if it was the texture of the rock itself. There were fewer red spots on it.
Moreover, the size of the spots varied, and the distribution was very uneven.
Elwyn did not know why this was so. Generally speaking, this kind of rock was considered inferior and would not be used to build obelisks.
Not to mention, it was an important obelisk located in the Sun Relic …
The Ancient Egyptian Wizards were very picky. Even if it was pure black obsidian, they would not use it to build obelisks that displayed their achievements and authority.
Normally, they would use the golden color, which was the most sacred color.
Strange colors. This was what Elwyn found unusual about the three obelisks.
There had to be a reason why the ancient Egyptian wizards had made obelisks out of this stone and placed them here. It could not have been done on a whim, or simply because of the unique aesthetics of the builders. It was not to say that they did not understand art, but it was definitely not so avant-garde and abstract.
Similar to other regions, in the magic civilization of ancient Egypt, mixed colors often indicated impurity!
"Is it impure?" Elwyn muttered softly as he looked at the stele. "Is it contaminated?"
Also, what made him uncomfortable was that the red and black spots on the obelisk seemed to be the color of coagulated blood.
Fresh blood, a stele tainted by fresh blood, a symbol of impurity!
This was not a good thought. Following this train of thought, the more he looked at the three obelisks, the stranger he felt.
As a result, the entire secret chamber made people feel very uncomfortable.
Elwyn sniffed hard and followed Lavier down.
There were people everywhere in the room. There were about two hundred Wizards crowded in front of the obelisks.
Most of them were Wizards proficient in alchemy, and they were trying to figure out something from the three obelisks.
Some of the Wizards were waving their wands at the obelisks, chanting incantations, using some unknown spell.
Others were continuously recording something on the parchment paper they carried with them. Even more people were discussing and pointing at the obelisks.
"Lavier, Elwyn, over here!" The pendulum's voice sounded in the crowd.
He and the other four hired alchemists were standing in front of the Sun Obelisk. There were three fairies beside him.
"You've been to the Divine Dome!" he said. "How was it? Did you find anything?"
"I didn't find anything special. I just felt that it was spectacular," Elwyn replied. "The statues of the gods are beyond my imagination."
"Yes, this relic is beyond everyone's imagination!" The pendulum nodded, seemingly disappointed that Elwyn and the rest had not found anything. "Be it in terms of scale or grade, the Sun Relic is the largest of all the ancient magic relics discovered so far. I believe that this is the most important temple and palace built by Ramses II."
"That must be the case. There must be many treasures here!" another fairy said.
His words were met with the approval of the other fairies, and a chorus of agreement rang out.
"So much wealth that it's ours. As long as we can break those damned curses or the alchemy mechanisms in front of us."
"It's just a matter of time!"
"Let's make this clear. According to the previous agreement, whatever the excavation team finds belongs to them. Other teams are not allowed to snatch it."
"Of course, we have to do this!" The pendulum praised. It turned around and looked at Elwyn eagerly. "Elwyn, come here quickly. Take a look at this obelisk. See if you can find anything from it. This is your specialty."
These fairies seemed to have some sort of agreement among themselves. They divided the treasures that they had yet to find.
The fairies were not as united as the wizards thought they were. There was also competition among them.
"Oh my god, Pendulum. Don't tell me this kid is an alchemist you hired?!" A dark-skinned fairy deliberately shouted in an exaggerated tone. He looked at Elwyn maliciously. "I thought he was an intern in your team!"
"Elwyn is an alchemist I hired. Is there a problem, Rafael?" The pendulum asked, looking at him cautiously.
"Problem? Are you trying to say that he knows alchemy?! " The fairy named Rafael said loudly. "This is the biggest joke I've heard this year. Can't you find a better alchemist? Or are you not willing to pay? "
"I also think that this kid is too young. Don't tell me he's still in school?" Another fairy said objectively.
"Yes, I'm a student of Hogwarts. I can start the O.W.LS class next year!" Elwyn said. He did not intend to explain anything.
He took two steps forward and stood where the pendulum had been. He carefully observed the Sun Obelisk in front of him.
The Sun Obelisk was the tallest among the three obelisks, and its design was also the simplest, let alone its uncomfortable color.
The entire obelisk was a cone-shaped stone pillar. It was carved with hieroglyphs and ancient magical text.
What was worth noting was that the center of each side was separated by a vertical red crystal pillar.
The top of the red crystal was connected to the symbol of the sun made of jade. The bottom of the red crystal pillar extended all the way to the ground.
That's weird. Elwyn did not notice it just now. Why was there a red crystal pillar on the obelisk?
