"Stop!"
Seeing that Jon was about to open the box, Professor Sprout hurriedly stopped him.
"I was just saying, why are you really doing it?"
"What else can we do? This is the only way now. We don't have any other way to identify what this thing is. Besides, it's just opening the box. Who knows, there might be some rare treasures inside. "
In fact, Jon's idea was not wrong. After all, the thing was in the box. If they didn't open the box, they wouldn't know what was inside.
It was like Schrodinger's cat. If they didn't open the box, how would they know whether the cat was dead or alive?
Furthermore, Chown didn't really want to die without a backup plan. For him, this thing wasn't as dangerous as Professor Sprout thought. The reason why he dared to try was because he had a certain degree of protection on him.
The most important thing was that the Mystic Bird Protector in his soul was still flying around the traces of the law as usual. It did not give him any warning.
Ever since Jon woke up from the Dragon Soul Crypt, he discovered that his Guardian had a series of magical uses.
Unlike the other Wizard Guardians, Jon's Guardian did have some special magical abilities. This was similar to Helga's Honey Badger.
However, Helga's Honey Badger had powerful magic and combat abilities, while the Mystic Bird was more of a support role.
For example, it could detect whether there was danger in the surroundings or escape with Jon when there was danger.
In short, it was a good seedling for guerrilla warfare.
With such a Guardian, Jon was able to make full use of the Mystic Bird's abilities.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have discovered that the Wizard was hiding.
Speaking of the Wizard, he did have a conversation with Professor Sprout.
For the safety of her students, Professor Sprout wrote a letter to Dumbledore and told him about the situation. The principal shouldn't have left London yet, so he could pressure the Ministry of Magic to investigate this matter.
However, Professor Sprout didn't think that the person who came was a Wizard from England. She was more inclined to think that it was someone from another country.
"That's because your item obviously came from somewhere else. I'm guessing that your friend might have accidentally taken something that a certain Wizard wanted when he was choosing. However, your friend is a Muggle, so he couldn't take it away directly. That's why he followed you all the way, wanting to steal this item."
Professor Sprout was very straightforward, and Jon thought so too.
Lun Na had a group of people under her. These people always carried weapons when they were outside. When Lun Na brought this thing back, she didn't let her guard down. After all, this was a gift for her boss, so it had to be treated with care.
After returning to the United Kingdom, the Magus could not act rashly. Otherwise, the Ministry of Magic's surveillance would fall on an outsider like him. In addition, a Magus stealing from a Muggle was an extremely shameful matter. If word got out, it wouldn't be a very good thing.
Most importantly, after Lun Na came back, she put this box in the company's secret room. There were layers of surveillance and infrared protection nets there. Even a Wizard wouldn't be able to avoid these protective measures.
If he made a mistake, not only would his identity as a Wizard be exposed, but Lun Na might also know about the mysterious world. This was a violation of international confidentiality laws.
At first, Jon was worried that the wizard would continue to spy on him. Now that he had Professor Sprout's help, he didn't have to worry about that anymore.
Now, he had the time to study this box.
After checking that there were no traps or enchantments on the box, Jon took a deep breath and pressed the lock of the box.
In fact, this box didn't have a key. It should be a mechanism or a box that could only be opened with magic.
As for Chown, he still had some other tricks up his sleeve.
For example, using brute force to open the box.
Poseidon's water line played a big role in this. The water vapor that permeated through every hole in a short period of time completely explored the internal structure of the mechanism. After that, it fed the internal structure to Jon.
As for how to analyze it, that was Jon's forte.
He could even use magic to copy the internal structure of Gringotts. Naturally, he could also use the same method to copy the internal structure of the mechanism.
When he was in Gringotts, Chown had yet to master the technique of using Poseidon. Now, he could already use Poseidon to condense a water ball in the air, and then completely reconstruct the structure of the water ball.
Professor Sprout was very satisfied with Jon's magic control. At the same time, she was also interested in helping Jon to analyze this mechanism.
"According to your guess, this thing came from an Egyptian god. Then, the position of this mechanism should be here."
Professor Sprout pointed at a sculpture of a bee and said. As a qualified ancient scholar, she couldn't only know the history of her field of study. She had to dabble in all the other mythological civilizations. Only then could she fully deduce a relatively accurate picture of the world.
As a researcher of ancient civilizations for many years, although Sprout didn't know much about the mythological civilization of ancient Egypt, some of the basic requirements were more detailed than Jon.
The mythological civilization of ancient Egypt ran through the Mythological Era and the Dark Age. Not long after the end of the Dark Age, it was completely destroyed. Even the last remnants were buried under the yellow sand.
This was also why this civilization was called a lost civilization. It was because it had lost too much information over a long period of time, which made it difficult for later generations to fully explain it.
In this era, there was no complete information that could neatly explain the myths of ancient Egypt. The evidence left behind from the distant era had become fragmented. What was seen by the magic world and Muggle's world was only the appearance of the myths pieced together by later generations of researchers. However, one thing was certain. Ancient Egypt's myths were largely based on the images of various animals. Therefore, there wasn't much difference between mechanisms and magic.
