Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

Chapter 54 The Cursebreaker and the Book of the Dead

At the Egyptian Ministry of Magic, Louis looked around, feeling an ancient atmosphere coming to his face.

Unlike the British Ministry of Magic, the Egyptian Ministry of Magic looks taller, and the entire Ministry of Magic has an earthy color.

"The first floor is the reception hall, the second floor is the Department of Magical Affairs, and the third floor is Rocky's office."

The Egyptian wizard explained to everyone that although Louis had never been to the Ministry of Magic in England, he at least knew its operating procedures.

Relatively speaking, the Egyptian one looks more breathtaking, with the stairs spiraling up, completely opposite to the British one hidden underground.

In the main hall, there is a statue holding a book and a torch. A pair of wings spread out behind it, resembling the Statue of Liberty in New York. There is also a string of words engraved on the bottom:

Magic is light.

"The eagle is the incarnation of God here because he is the creature closest to the sun." The Egyptian wizard looked solemn and bowed slightly to the statue.

"It feels quite magical."

"Everyone, follow me. Mr. Weasley is still waiting."

After passing through a crowd, they came to a cylinder. The Egyptian wizard waved his magic wand, and a flat elevator platform suddenly descended from above.

"Uh-huh!"

The glass-shaped door slowly opened, and the Egyptian wizard led everyone inside.

"Ah, Sergio, I finally found you."

Another Egyptian wizard in the elevator was overjoyed when he saw this Sergio wizard.

"Emulisa, has something happened?" Sergio was a little surprised. The director of Rocky's office had no idea why he wanted to find him, a little shrimp who had just joined the job.

"I just captured a remnant saint, but that guy's mouth is too tight. I think I still have to ask for your help." Emulisa whispered, making Desergio's face slightly embarrassed.

Although the opponent is a saint, Egypt's magical laws attach great importance to matters such as human rights. Any use of coercive interrogation techniques, including truth serum, is illegal.

Louis sighed. He knew what the word saint meant. They were followers of the previous generation of Dark Lord Grindelwald. Voldemort's influence only enveloped the entire United Kingdom, but Grindelwald's shadow was not limited to Europe, but even spread as far away as North America and some Asian countries.

It has been almost sixty years since Grindelwald fell, and there are still remaining followers on the run, which shows that this kind of person's thinking has long been stamped with steel.

Therefore, ordinary methods are almost ineffective against such people. Unless it is an illegal act, once this kind of behavior is reported, it is not as simple as just losing your job.

The dirty work is left to the newcomers, while the leaders enjoy the achievements.

But Sergio couldn't refuse, after all, he was the director of Rocky's office.

"Okay, but I have to entertain these distinguished guests first, Emulisa, as the minister has instructed."

The wizard named Emulisa squinted his eyes, and then saw Lewis and others.

"British?"

He seemed a little unhappy and pushed up his old-fashioned glasses.

The atmosphere in the elevator was tense and awkward, but fortunately at the right time, a ruthless electronic sound sounded:

"Third floor, Rocky's office."

After Emurisa left, Sergio couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He explained to Mr. Weasley:

"Emulisa doesn't like the British. Please don't be offended. Although his character is not good, he does have a good way of suppressing the Saints as the director of Lodge's office."

"Oh, by the way, Rocky is your Auror position."

Mr. Weasley just smiled and made no comment.

"Fifth floor, Ministry of Magic."

"Okay, everyone, we're here." Sergio made a gesture of invitation.

The style of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is very different from that below. Basically, every country has its own unique style.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a handsome young man came on foot. From a distance, he looked a bit like Arthur.

"Thank you Sergio, leave this place to me." The young man said, and young Sergio bent down slightly and left the place.

"Bill!" Mrs. Weasley kissed her son's cheek. Bill Weasley looked particularly vicissitudes of life. Although he had just graduated, the climate in Egypt had made this handsome young man miserable.

"You're still the same, Mom." Bill was a little helpless. He hugged his father and brothers, especially Fred and George. Bill was particularly popular in this family.

"Oh, I wonder who this is?"

Bill had never met Louis, and he was a little curious about this little boy who came with the Weasley family.

"I'm Louis Wiggins, Mr. Weasley." He took the initiative to shake hands with Bill, which actually won some favor from Bill.

"Just call me Bill. No need to be so polite. You are also a student of Hogwarts."

"Yes, Louis and Ginny are in the same class. They just entered Hogwarts last year." Ron interrupted, "But you, Bill, how is life in Egypt?"

"It's very good. There are too many secrets about magic in Egypt. You must not miss it this time." Bill's words aroused great interest in the Weasley brothers. Fred and George were born. adventurer.

"But you can't go inside the pyramid, it's too dangerous." Mrs. Weasley warned.

"I know, Mom." The twin brothers looked at each other and raised the corners of their mouths.

Bill Weasley, as a special Curse Breaker from Gringotts, is mainly responsible for deciphering the magic codes inside Egypt, especially the interior of Egypt that is full of mysterious power, such as the pyramids surrounded by a large amount of magic.

But the Curse Breaker's job is to sign a confidentiality agreement, and that agreement is enchanted. Anyone who leaks the information inside will be severely punished.

"Actually, the inside of the pyramid is not that scary. If you want, I can take you there." Bill lowered his voice and said with his arms around Fred and George's shoulders.

"Better take Percy with you," Fred snickered.

A secret mischief plan is quietly brewing.

"I don't usually work here. There is a Gringotts branch in Egypt. I came here today just to go through the formalities. Another pyramid was discovered."

Bill and the Weasley family came out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and were walking in the Egyptian Ministry of Magic. Suddenly, a commotion attracted everyone's attention.

"It is impossible for you to defeat us. The light of the saints will shine on the earth forever!"

A remnant saint was being held hostage by several wizards and passed by. His face looked extremely ferocious.

"Egypt has not been peaceful recently." Bill shook his head, "The Saints' forces are starting to make moves again."

"The Druid Order was hunted by the Saints again. They complained to the Minister of Magic, but there was nothing they could do. These people are more difficult to deal with than the Death Eaters."

A group of people left the Egyptian Ministry of Magic and walked on the streets of Cairo. Bill took everyone to visit several churches in Cairo. Louis discovered that the history of ancient Egypt had more or less traces of magic involved.

For example, the largest Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt was built with the powerful stabilizing and floating spells of wizards. Today's love potions were also invented by Egyptian wizards. According to rumors, one of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs was actually a wizard. , and the Pharaoh’s curse is also real.

Including Cleopatra, who drove all men crazy, she was transformed by magic potion. Of course, beauty also comes at a price.

Among them, what interested Louis the most was the Book of the Dead mentioned in the mural, although it was only briefly mentioned.

"All the stories mentioned here are true, including the Book of the Dead." Bill seemed to understand what Louis was thinking. He stood behind Louis and explained to him.

"What the hell is this?"

"The Book of the Dead is also called the Code of the Dead." Bill paused, "It is a kind of magic that can control the dead, including ghosts and corpses in the world. It has similar effects to the Dark Lord's Inferi."

"But its real charm goes beyond that. Louis, do you believe that people can come back from the dead?" Bill suddenly asked.

Louis shook his head. The magic he knew that could resurrect the dead did not exist. Even the Resurrection Stone, one of the Deathly Hallows, could not truly resurrect the dead.

"The fact that the Necronomicon Code can do this is probably its greatest charm."

"impossible.."

Louis couldn't believe it. If this thing really existed, it would have caused a bloody storm in the magical world. Because no one can resist the temptation of resurrection.

"The book does exist, but no one has ever obtained it, and if you want to completely resurrect the dead, the price you need to pay is probably beyond your imagination."

"Any achievement comes at a certain price, and there is never any such thing as a pie in the sky." Bill's tone was very much like a teacher who is teaching students.

Lewis naturally knew this.

The city of Cairo is much larger than London, but its internal architectural design is much worse.

Since Bill decided to take everyone to the pyramid the next day, the Weasley family decided to set up a tent on the outskirts to rest.

But it was obvious that almost everyone couldn't put up the tent manually. They worked hurriedly for a while, and finally had to use magic to slowly prop it up.

The charm of magic doesn't stop there. From the outside, it looks like a simple tent that is only big enough for two people to sleep. But when Louis stepped inside, he couldn't help but sigh.

There are four rooms in the entire tent, plus a kitchen and bathroom. It looks like a small apartment with four bedrooms and one living room.

There was a stove in the middle of the living room. Mr. Weasley pointed his wand and a flame suddenly lit up for warmth.

"Well... I borrowed this from Mr. Parkin in the office. He doesn't even camp anymore, poor guy." Mr. Weasley leaned on the sofa, enjoying the peace brought by this vacation.

Because they were going to visit the pyramids the next day, the Weasley children didn't make a fuss for a long time and went to bed early. Percy shared a room with Mr. Weasley, Ginny slept with Molly, and Fred He and George were squeezed into one room, while Louis slept in the largest bedroom with Ron Bill.

"good night, everyone."

Ron fell asleep very quickly, and not long after he finished speaking, he heard snoring coming from him.

Louis also slowly closed his eyes, and the magical world of Egypt was slowly unfolding in front of his eyes.
