"This girl has a very special magic power." Elwyn said, looking at her back.
"It's obvious, it's witchcraft!" Bill replied. Hibiscus Chinensis, Hermione and Gabri looked at him in shock.
In their impression, witchcraft was as bad as black magic. Lavier didn't seem like a black wizard at all.
"In Africa, witchcraft is a very common magic. It's not as mysterious as you think, and not all of them are evil. In reality, witchcraft is similar to the magic we're familiar with. It's just that the casting method is different, and it's more complicated and mysterious. " Bill said as he led everyone forward. "Because of his family heritage, Lavier is very talented in witchcraft, and that's why Zuo Sai took a fancy to him …"
"That's the scary looking fairy?!"
"Yes, he's the one you really have to be careful of." Bill said solemnly. "If you work for Gringotts in Egypt, the first thing I have to warn you is not to get close to that fairy. There are many bad rumors about him."
There was a moment of silence. It could be seen that Bill was very dissatisfied with that fairy.
"Bad rumors, for example?" Hibiscus Chinensis asked with interest.
"I'm not used to speaking ill of my colleagues behind their backs, but you have to know that many ancient ruins involve curses that require the blood, limbs, and even life and souls of living people to break. Usually, when we encounter these curses, we give up excavating." Bill said. "But Zuo Sai is different. In the eyes of the fairy, there's only wealth. He doesn't care about the lives of others. His excavation team can always find more treasures, but there are often team members who go missing. "
"Oh my god, Bill, you can't be saying …" Everyone looked at him in shock.
The meaning behind Bill's words was obvious. Those who went missing would become sacrifices to break the curse.
The one who planned all of this behind the scenes was the fairy they just saw.
Thinking about it carefully, it was really a chilling matter.
"There's no evidence. As long as we can find treasures or ancient magic items, the survivors will always be rewarded handsomely. No one will care about the missing team members." Bill sighed. "You must know, being a Gringotts curse dispeller and explorer is an extremely dangerous job. People often die. A portion of the wizards that are willing to work here are like me, they are passionate about this profession. The other portion is purely for the money, they don't care about the danger."
As long as wealth and power were involved, there was often an unknown evil hidden under the seemingly calm surface.
This was an unchanging truth. Do not be fooled by the peaceful appearance.
"Is Lavier in danger?" Hermione asked worriedly. "We should tell her about it."
"I told her about it, but she didn't take it to heart." Bill said. "You don't have to worry too much, there shouldn't be too much of a problem. She's a sixth year student of the Egyptian magic school, Carnack. She only interns at Gringotts during the summer holidays, so she will only be following Zuo Sai's excavation team for the next two months. I heard they are going to excavate in the Sun Ruins."
"The ruins left behind by Pharaoh Ramses II that you told me about yesterday?!"
"Yes, according to Ramses II's style, he wouldn't leave a curse that requires human lives to break in the ruins." Bill continued. "That's something that would only happen in the earlier dynasties. For example, the Scorpion King …"
"That's not entirely correct, Mr Weasley!" A sharp voice came from behind them. "The Pillar Tail Scorpions in the desert like fresh blood. We need to use blood to appease them. However, we only use human blood when it comes to curses of Isis and Neftis, because the blood of other creatures is ineffective."
Elwyn turned around and saw the fierce-looking fairy, Zuo Sai, with white sideburns, walking towards them.
"This isn't considered evil. It's just a little blood. However, when we enter the temple of Anubis, we have to be extra careful because it needs souls. It's not a bad idea to keep a few small animals in the excavation team. I usually bring a snake, rat, or rabbit with me. They can save your life at a critical moment." Zuo Sai continued, walking in front of Elwyn. "If we encounter Horus, then it'll be a lot more troublesome. He's in charge of order, which is a very troublesome point."
"What does he need?" Elwyn asked.
"If you've been to the museum, you'll know that there are usually four stone jars next to the mummies. They correspond to the four sons of Horus, which represent the royal power. The human head jar is used to store the liver, the baboon head jar is used to store the lungs, the jackal head jar is used to store the stomach, and the eagle head jar is used to store the intestines." Zuo Sai said, showing her sharp teeth. "It's very clear, isn't it? The ancient Egyptian gods have clearly told their descendants everything they need. We can know their preferences from many clues, and we just need to follow them. These are the top curses. Once we break them, we can see the Pharaoh's treasures."
"Sounds great!" Bill said in a sarcastic tone. He took a step forward and stood in front of Elwyn. "This is the main reason why you can always break those curses, because you know what they need."
"This is the simplest way, Mr Weasley. We need to be efficient!" Marquis Djoser turned to Elwyn, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes. "You're Elwyn Mason, right? The little wizard who applied to see the Emerald Jade Record?"
"That's me." Elwyn nodded.
"You should already know who I am. I heard that you've learned alchemy from Nico Lemour, so I guess you're not too bad." Marquis Djoser continued, walking past Bill. "There's no need to hide it. During the excavation of the Sun Relic, we encountered a small problem, and we need to solve it with alchemy …"
Hearing this, Elwyn understood why Marquis Djoser had come to him. This sprite needed his help to solve the so-called small problem.
Alchemy was very rare, and most alchemists only knew a little about it. There were very few alchemists who had a complete inheritance like Elwyn.
"Sorry, I don't have time …"
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, human. Without my help, you'll never see the Emerald Jade Record," Marquis Djoser said, looking at Elwyn. Marquis Djoser said, looking at Iven, "Help my excavation team solve that problem, and I can let you read the Emerald Jade Record right now. You can also have a share of the treasures found in the sun relics."
"I don't seem to have any other choice," Elwyn said, looking at this unpleasant sprite.
