Soon, no one cared about how Elwyn had persuaded Zuo Sai to 'find his conscience'.
Everyone's attention was focused on the shocking case itself. Apart from the murders, this also involved the largest theft and reselling of ancient magic items in Egypt's magic world in the past century. The amount involved was astronomical, and the value of those relics was immeasurable …
Gringotts tried to salvage the situation, and Zuo Sai denied everything after he woke up, but the results were minimal.
First of all, the evidence was conclusive, and Zuo Sai had no way of explaining the origin of that huge amount of gold.
He did not even understand what had happened. After his memory was altered by Elwyn, he could only remember his conversation with that human boy, and then being moved by his persuasion. He decided to repent and confess. Everything was exactly as Elwyn had said, and he felt that he must have gone mad …
Secondly, and most importantly, no one was willing to believe what the sprite said.
The distrust and control of the Wizards towards the sprites was fully displayed at this moment. If Zuo Sai was a Wizard, the Egyptian Ministry of Magic might have some reservations, but they had no hesitation towards the sprite.
Soon, the Auror applied for a truth-telling potion on Zuo Sai to make him tell everything.
Just as Bill had expected, Zuo Sai's demise meant that Gringotts' influence in Egypt was damaged, and many pure-blood Wizard families and dark Wizards were also implicated. The Egyptian Ministry of Magic even applied for help from the International Sorcerer Alliance to recover the ancient magic items that had been resold.
It was unknown whether Lucius Malfoy would be summoned, which would more or less cause trouble for Lord Voldemort.
Elwyn even thought that it would be best to imprison Lucius and the Death Eaters related to Zuo Sai in Egypt's Wizard Prison. Lord Voldemort would probably not come to rescue them, but this idea was obviously not realistic.
The Egyptian Ministry of Magic did not intend to expand this matter, and did not have the ability to do so.
The power distribution was similar to that of the Muggle World. Compared to the British magic world, they were much weaker, and did not have much room to speak in the International Sorcerer Alliance.
Therefore, Egypt's Ministry of Magic finally targeted Gringotts and the fairies for compensation. No one would object.
Now, the entire exploration of the ancient ruins in Egypt had been stopped.
The Ministry of Magic will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the excavation projects that were originally in charge of the fairies, including the recently discovered Sun Ruins. The excavation of this ruin will be suspended indefinitely.
Elwyn heard from Bill that the Egyptian Ministry of Magic was unwilling to trust fairies.
They were considering inviting experts from England, France, and Germany over to form a joint excavation team with their own spell dispellers to investigate the ruins.
Of course, this matter had nothing to do with Elwyn anymore. Although he was very interested in the Black Scripture of the Dead, and according to his understanding, it was probably the only magic that could bring the dead back to life. It was very valuable, but he did not want to risk his life in the ruins that were full of danger.
Elwyn did not expect that after so many twists and turns, it would land on him again. But that was a matter for a year later.
When he returned to Egypt again, everything had changed dramatically. He had to stop the mummies from thousands of years ago from returning to this world, and even go back to the past to face Ramesses II, to fight against the evil that was beyond the comprehension of mortals …
In the next month or so, accompanied by Bill and Lavier, Elwyn, Hermione, Hibiscus Chinensis, and Gabri toured all over Egypt.
They rode on flying carpets, and also visited pyramids, temples, and various ruins.
Unfortunately, it was summer break, or else Elwyn and the others could go to the Egyptian magic school to take a look.
Lavier had been accompanying them all this time, and everyone had been getting along very well recently.
Because the excavation had stopped, she had nothing to do now, so she could accompany Elwyn and the others to tour all over Egypt.
She knew a lot of ancient Egyptian history and was the best tour guide. At the same time, she told Elwyn a lot of things related to witchcraft.
Elwyn showed her the owl pendant on his wrist. She said that it was a very rare magic item that used the power of shamans and could communicate with ancestors and animals in the natural world. This was a very unpopular branch of witchcraft.
"This should be a holy relic left behind by an ancient tribe in the interior of Africa. I think I've seen it in a book …"
She planned to go back to the school library to look up relevant information after school started. If she found anything, she would write to Elwyn.
Elwyn hoped that she could find information about that tribe. He had promised Shuklia that he would send her late apology back to her tribe and tell her ancestors, but he did not know where her tribe was.
It had to be said that because the exploration of the ruins had been completely stopped, the number of empty rooms in the hotel had increased.
They moved to a new room, but Gabri still did not dare to sleep alone at night. In the end, no one knew what they discussed, but she and Hermione both stayed in Elwyn's room. The three of them lived together, and Hibiscus Chinensis slept in a single room.
With Gabri in the middle, Elwyn could not do anything to Hermione.
She was so close, but he had to endure it. What a pity …
There were a few nights when Hermione took the initiative to climb into Elwyn's bed and wake him up, asking him to accompany her outside to see the night view of the pyramids.
She seemed to be infatuated with that beautiful scene, as well as that extremely romantic atmosphere under the starry sky.
In any case, the relationship between Elwyn and Hermione had indeed improved by leaps and bounds, and they became more familiar with each other.
A month later, Zuo Sai's case finally came to an end, and they were allowed to leave Egypt.
The Egyptian Ministry of Magic finally gave Elwyn a large sum of gold coins as a reward for persuading Zuo Sai to turn himself in. The reward was a total of five thousand gold coins.
If they had known that he had sifted through Zuo Sai's vault and picked up all the valuable things, they would not have been so generous.
They also told Elwyn that they were helping him apply for a first-class medal of the Sir Merlin Regiment, and if it was successful, they would mail the medal to Elwyn.
So it seemed that the Egyptian Ministry of Magic was really weak. The British Ministry of Magic had the discretion to decide on the quota.
Elwyn had planned to stay in Egypt for a while. He had been very leisurely during this time. Egypt had countless ancient magic and witchcraft, which gave him considerable inspiration, and he had just scratched the surface of many things.
However, they received a letter from Lupin and had to return earlier.
In the letter, Lupin told them that Harry was in big trouble. He had been sued by the Ministry of Magic for violating the International Secrets Act by using the Patronus Charm in front of Muggle. Muggle seemed to have seized this opportunity to fire him from Hogwarts.
"I don't understand. Why would Harry do this?" Hermione said. "The Patronus Charm is a very rare magic, only …"
"Of course, he must have encountered a Soul Catcher," Elwyn said. That guy finally couldn't help but make a move.
