Elwyn stopped where he was. The light in the room was a faint blue light, strange and mysterious.
In front of him was a huge stone pillar, carved with complicated patterns and ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
After a full three seconds, he realized that the light blue light in front of him was coming from the flames burning in the brazier at the top of the stone pillar.
This was the Immortal Fire of Khublai, an eternal magical flame. Time would not affect them.
The Immortal Fire of Khublai was a very precious item. Among the gifts that Dumbledore gave to the giants, Elwyn had seen one before. He did not expect the ancient Egyptian wizards to use it for illumination. It was really surprising. This made him even more curious about the things in this room.
In his hand, the needle on the Time Converter was spinning at an unimaginable speed.
Without its help, Elwyn would definitely disappear like the other intruders. He was not an eternal existence.
"An eternal existence …"
He suddenly thought about what would happen if Lord Voldemort entered this room.
In theory, as long as the soul vessel was not destroyed, Lord Voldemort was immortal. However, the chaotic time would turn his body into dust.
This way, only his soul would be left here, which was equivalent to a seal in disguise.
Without Elwyn's Time Converter or other similar powerful magical items, no one would be able to enter to rescue Lord Voldemort.
If he could lure him in, all problems would be solved. Of course, Lord Voldemort would not be so stupid as to enter when he knew there was a problem. However, if Elwyn could find the magical item that caused all this, and master the powerful power of time …
Thinking of this, his heart became even more fervent. He took two steps forward and entered the room.
Elwyn saw more stone pillars, about 20 of them.
They were distributed in the room, arranged in a circle.
At the top of each stone pillar was a brazier, in which the light blue Immortal Fire of Khublai burned quietly.
Inside the stone pillars were many strange totems, one for each stone pillar. The totems were decorated with gems.
Elwyn did not know the specific use of these totems, nor had he heard of or seen such settings.
On the high platform in the center of the room, he saw the tall statue of the god with the head of an eagle and the body of a human.
Even though Elwyn had seen so many God statues in God Dome Palace, the one in front of him still shocked him greatly.
"Horus, it's really here!"
This confirmed Lavier's conjecture. This was the room where the god Horus was worshiped, and it was also the big discovery she had been looking for.
She couldn't come today. If Elwyn could solve the time distortion problem here, he could bring Lavier here …
Although he had many questions, he had found the statue of Horus, but where was the magical item that caused the temporal chaos?
Elwyn looked around and finally found something strange about the statue's eyes.
In ancient Egyptian legends and myths, Horus's right eye symbolized the sun, while his left eye symbolized the moon.
The rotation of the sun and moon was the beginning of the day, and it represented time.
However, anyone who had an understanding of the relevant legends would know that Horus' left eye had been gouged out by the God of War, Seth. Although it recovered later on, it had lost its power. Instead, the eye that had been gouged out was believed to have a sacred meaning and supreme power.
It was also known as the Eye of Ugarte, representing the protection of the god Horus.
It was usually depicted on the coffin of the pharaohs together with the Talisman of Life, protecting the deceased on the path to eternal life from harm.
Because he knew this legend, Elwyn paid special attention to Horus' left eye. His right eye was one with the statue itself, both carved out of granite. However, the left eye was not the same. The position of the eyeball had been replaced by a milky white crystal ball.
The crystal had shattered. Through the crack, Elwyn could see what seemed to be inside.
It was too far away to see clearly.
However, there was no doubt that it was the magical item that caused the temporal chaos. This item had been stored in the crystal ball. Due to the passage of time or some other reason, the crystal had shattered, and the power of time inside had leaked out …
The time converter in Elwyn's left hand verified this. Without any warning, it suddenly floated up and flew towards the statue.
If not for Elwyn's quick reflexes and grabbing the chain of the time converter, it would have flown away just like that!
As if there was a resonance between the two powers, the crystal ball in the statue's left eye also emitted a faint white light.
Elwyn gripped the time converter tightly. He thought for a moment and did not rashly climb up the stone platform. Instead, he waved his wand and cast a flying spell.
He did not expect this spell to work. Precious magical items were usually protected by many protective spells to ensure their safety. If there was no other way, he could only climb up the statue and take out the crystal ball. He hoped that it would not turn out this way.
Unexpectedly, with Elwyn's action, the crystal ball in the left eye of Horus flew over …
Everything was going so smoothly that Elwyn could not believe it.
He watched as the milky-white crystal ball flew directly in front of him. From the crack, he could see that there was something like a round astrolabe inside. The astrolabe was engraved with the sun, moon, and stars, as well as many symbols with unknown meanings.
He reached out to grab the crystal ball, but before he could touch it, the crystal ball shattered with a bang. Countless white spots of light enveloped Elwyn. The needle on the time converter suddenly froze, and the immortal fire of Kuplai in the brazier suddenly rose.
The world spun, and Elwyn felt a strong force coming from the time converter in his left hand, pulling him forward.
The time converter was activated, and he was about to be brought to another point in time …
This was the only thought in Elwyn's mind. In a trance, he saw the changes that the room had experienced over a thousand years.
As time passed, the decorations in the room became more and more luxurious.
The exquisite decorations and curtains that had been reduced to dust reappeared. The weathered walls and stone pillars that were full of cracks now had a golden luster. The carvings and murals on them were vivid. Vaguely, Elwyn saw many wizards dressed in ancient Egyptian clothing worshipping the statue of Horus and the totems. He even saw the wizards performing a sacred ceremony. They removed the organs of the man's body that was placed in the middle of the room and placed them in different jars for preservation.
He was Ramesses II, and this was the scene after his death …
A thousand years passed in a blink of an eye. In the long years, only the quietly burning immortal fire of Kuplai had not changed.
When Elwyn's feet landed on the ground again, he had already arrived at a point in time more than two years ago.
