Chapter 817: Egypt

Chapter 817: Egypt

At Hogwarts, Hermione was probably the only one who spent more time reading books than Evan! She had almost read every book available in the library, and had even ordered many other magic books for herself.

Evan still remembered that the first topic they talked about when he and Hermione first met was to exchange books with one another

Since then, the two of them had never bought the same book again. In her words, they should try to exchange limited resources for more knowledge and avoid waste. Even the textbooks required by the school were left by Hermione to Evan.

Of course, this kind of thing was a manifestation of intimacy after the progress of the relationship between Evan and Hermione.

Whatever other people would think of this kind of thing, Evan was willing to use Hermiones textbooks, not only because she was his girlfriend, but also because the books used by Hermione were accurately marked with key points and class notes

It was also worth mentioning that Hermiones focus on reading was different from that of Evan. She was not as purposeful as Evan, who was reading books that revolved around how to improve his strength. She had read a wide range of books, including all kinds of history of magic and specialized books.

In this regard, Evan had to admire Hermione. Hed thought that, besides him, no one else could do that.

When Evan told her about the Ravens Claw, the Titans, and Time Magic, she immediately mentioned him the titles of many books.

She had a few of them in her hands and quickly flipped through these thick volumes.

Although their content was relatively basic, and even centered around legendary stories with not much substantial information, it was really helpful to understand relevant knowledge.

Hermione intended to take all these books to Egypt and read them on the way

However, there was one problem with this approach: her suitcase couldnt fit all the books, and it was too heavy and inconvenient to carry.

Evan had no choice but to offer her the cloth bag he carried with him and asked Hermione to put the books and the things she wanted to take inside.

A few minutes later, when he saw Hermione stuffing her clothes and underwear into his bag, he suddenly felt weird.

She seemed at ease, letting him help her carry these things

Hermione apparently had no intention of taking her suitcase anymore and handed over everything to Evan.

A scene flashed before Evans eyes: In a long night, Hermione came to his room and asked him for underwear to take a bath. After a while, she washed the changed clothes and sent them back

Well, from any perspective, he was really looking forward to this trip more and more!

Whether it was in Alchemy or his relation with Hermione, he seemed to have the opportunity to go further.

After a somewhat formal lunch, Evan and Hermione were taken to the airport and set off for Egypt!

Cairo, the capital of Egypt, the bright pearl on the Nile River, was one of the oldest cities in the world.

When it came to Egypt and Cairo, most people would first think of pyramids, camels, yellow sand, gods, mysterious magic, and various ancient ruins. But when Evan got off the plane, his first impression was, Wow, its really hot here!

Located at the southern end of the Nile Delta, Cairo had a typical subtropical desert climate with average summer temperatures reaching forty degrees Celsius.

Sweat ran uncontrollably down their cheeks, and Evan had to use a spell to keep their bodies cool.

Beside him, Hermione was in high spirits, and although she had not yet left the airport, she kept looking around, constantly talking to Evan about the scenic spots and customs of Egypt and Cairo.

They had just seen the pyramids next to the city from the plane. It was a wonder.

On the plain covered in yellow sand, these stone mausoleums of ancient Egyptian pharaohs were magnificent, showing the world the grandeur of the tomb owners. Even from a distance, Evan could still feel the powerful magical aura emanating from them.

He had read in related books that since the First Dynasty of Egypt, almost all the pharaohs were powerful ancient warlocks who had the power to destroy heaven and earth and were a unified combination of Muggle secular monarchy, theocracy and the supreme power of the Wizarding world.

Of the many pyramids that had been discovered so far, the most famous were the three great pyramids in Giza, a suburb of Cairo. Theyd been left by the three pharaohs of the Fourth Dynasty, namely, the Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, with a history of over four thousand years.

That was the era when ancient Egypt and ancient sorcerers were just beginning to flourish, and it was the time when the power of the gods was at its strongest.

Two years ago, Evan and Hermione had heard from Ron more than once about the inside of the pyramids. In addition to the tombs and passages that had already been opened to Muggle visits, there were many secret rooms that had not been cracked. The number of curses in the rooms was beyond imagination.

The curse breaking progressed slowly, and Ron told them that the wizards of Gringotts had discovered a room a few years ago above the tomb of Pharaoh Khufus Pyramid. There were many weird skeletons of Muggles whod forced into the pyramid.

The room was extremely terrifying. A few wizards had rashly broken in to investigate and they suddenly grew extra heads

For safety reasons, Mrs. Weasley strictly forbade Bill from entering that pyramid.

Not far in front of the Great Pyramid was the Sphinx, which was no less famous.

The Sphinx was a magical creature that had really existed. It was a monster unique to Egypt and ancient Greece. It could speak human language. It liked to stay on the key road and propose riddles to passers-by. If the answer was correct, they could pass, but if it was wrong, the Sphinx would directly swallow them.

Many archaeologists and historians of magic believed that the Sphinx had been carved in the image of a creature called the Sphinx.

It had the face of a pharaoh, and it was a unique monument symbolizing authority.

It wore the Nemes crown and, engraved on its forehead, was a relief sculpture of Uraeus the sacred cobra. These were legendary magical items that had been lost for a long time. Unfortunately, after the nose was damaged, all the magical properties of this statue became inactive, and modern wizards could not speculate on its specific use.

In addition to the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx, Egypts first Pharaoh Ramses II was recognized as the most powerful Caster.

He was a pharaoh of the nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt, the strongest era of ancient warlocks, and the era of the gods slaughter.

In a sense, he was a god himself, with unimaginable power.

The various remains and magic he left behind had been affecting the development of both the Wizarding world and the Muggle world up to now.
