"It might not be Magic Power, but blood!"
Elwyn shared his guess about using blood to activate the three obelisks.
"Hmm, you mean blood? I tried, but it didn't work. Breaking ancient Egyptian curses often required fresh blood, and Mister Djoser immediately thought of blood. "Lavier lowered his voice and said," He even used human blood, but it didn't work either. "
Already used human blood? That was the possibility that Elwyn had thought of.
But the fairy Marquis Djoser had already tried, and the other Wizards had also tried, but to no avail.
Was it because the blood used did not meet the requirements, or was it not as simple as smearing blood on the obelisks?
Elwyn continued to observe the Sun Obelisks. The red crystals on the obelisks were in the shape of a column, like a pipe from the bottom to the top, but these crystals were not real pipes. They were not hollow inside, and could not be used to transport liquids like blood.
Crystals could only be used to conduct Magic Power. Considering the spots on the obelisks, it might be some special Magic Power …
The problem was back to square one. How could he infuse Magic Power into the obelisks?
These red crystals extended all the way to the ground. Would there be something hidden under the stone slabs of the obelisks?
Elwyn wanted to see what was underneath, but without full confidence, neither Egyptian magic nor Gringotts would allow him to lift the stone slabs.
The Alchemists had thought of many ways to infuse Magic Power into the obelisks and activate the magic on them.
Many of them were things that Elwyn had never thought of, but to him, none of them would work.
He recorded down the ancient Magic Text and magic on the three obelisks, and prepared to study them when he got back.
The language used by the Ancient Egyptian Wizards was the oldest Magic Text, which was also called hieroglyphics.
It was very different from the ancient magic texts based on the ancient Greek civilization that Ivan was familiar with. There was no connection at all.
In the process of copying, he did notice that some of the runes were similar to the magic record on the cover of the Book of Abraham, which meant that they were from the same era. Perhaps there was a way to break the spell in the Book of Abraham.
The possibility of this was very low, and even Elwyn was not confident. He did not know how many years of research it would take.
However, he still insisted on his initial judgment.
These three obelisks were symbols of impurity, and the red and black spots on them were blood stains. This secret chamber made him uncomfortable.
None of the alchemists could find a way to crack the code. However, the Italian witch hired by Raffles the Goblin, who had deliberately belittled Elwyn and argued with the pendulum, was full of confidence, as if she had found some important clues.
She didn't say it out loud. She didn't even look at Elwyn.
When asked by the Pendulum Pendulum and the other fairies, she only said that she still needed to study it and that the results would be announced in a few days …
Judging from everyone's expressions, it seemed that everyone thought she was bragging.
Next, Elwyn followed the pendulum and the others to the area they were responsible for.
This was a hidden passage that the adventurers had discovered after destroying a wall not long ago. The front was blocked by rocks from a landslide, and there were still some magic gears that needed to be deciphered. The main task of the excavation team was to clear these rocks.
No wonder the pendulum let Benny join. Most excavation teams wouldn't want a half-giant …
Whether it was clearing the rocks or breaking the curse in the passage, neither was Elwyn's forte. He wouldn't be of much help if he stayed here. The pendulum didn't let them stay either. It gave Elwyn and the other four alchemists the task of deciphering the alchemy gears on the obelisks as soon as possible.
Even if they couldn't completely decipher it, they had to at least find some clues or confirm their thoughts.
They were given a month's time. If there was no solution, they would leave the excavation team.
Looking at the pendulum's expression, it would be a problem if it could give them the promised reward. Of course, if someone could decipher the gears on the obelisks or find important clues before Raffles' excavation team, the pendulum also promised a high reward …
There was still more than a month before the Hogwarts started school. Elwyn didn't intend to spend all his time here. He still wanted to go back and find out what the Lord Voldemort and the others were planning to do. So, he would stay in Egypt for a month at most.
As for whether he could get a reward or not, he didn't care. He didn't come to the Sun ruins to make money.
Perhaps it was because he was young, but the four alchemists looked down on Elwyn and didn't discuss it with him.
Needless to say, the gears on the three obelisks were really difficult. Elwyn could only guess so far. He couldn't even understand the words and magic runes on them, so it was impossible to decipher them. He didn't want to spend too much time there.
Under such circumstances, Elwyn naturally wasn't interested in deciphering the obelisks.
The next day, he set off alone for the third excavation area to look for the time converter …
Just as Lavier had told Elwyn, the third excavation area was located at the edge of the entire Sun ruins. The reason for its discovery was that the fairies wanted to measure the scale of the Sun ruins and accidentally discovered a large number of tombs while excavating here.
It was speculated that the owners of these tombs were the priests or servants of the Sun ruins, or possibly the craftsmen who built the ruins.
A similar group of tombs had been found near the Great Pyramid.
Although the things in these tombs couldn't be as rich as the treasures in the ruins, the gains were solid. There was no need to risk the Pharaoh's curse, and it wasn't that troublesome. As long as a tomb was excavated, coffins, mummies, and other funerary ornaments could be found.
Back then, the world-famous Sun Ship and the remnant copy of the Black Book of the Dead were also found in the tomb near the big golden word.
That remnant copy was found in the tomb of an Anubis priest, and it was the most complete part found so far.
Therefore, the Ministry of Magic and Gringotts paid more attention to this group of tombs, and specially sent five excavation teams. Many Muggle archaeologists were also sent here.
The higher-ups hoped to find enough heavyweight magical artifacts here, or information that would be helpful for the excavation of the Sun ruins.
They didn't disappoint. Soon after the excavation area number three officially began, they found the secret passage.
But no one thought that the room behind the secret passage would have a chaotic time phenomenon, and the five excavation teams were all finished.
Now that the Muggle had withdrawn, there was only one excavation team left in the entire third excavation area.
Their main task was to explore all the tombs and determine the location of the other secret passages, but they weren't allowed to enter, and had to report immediately.
One of the statues of Horus' four sons was found, and the other three were definitely still in this area.
Because it was too dangerous, the first secret passage had already been sealed!
According to the previous promise, with the help of the pendulum, Elwyn obtained Gringotts permission to visit. He was warned time and again not to enter the room at the end of the secret passage, and even issued a guarantee and signed a letter of responsibility. If anything happened to him because of this, it had nothing to do with Gringotts.
