Chapter 13 The Age of Wizards, The Lost Race
The line between the wizarding world of Egypt and the Muggle world is not so clear.
Wizards and Muggles also mostly mixed with each other.
After leaving Hermes Avenue, the streets also began to lively.
Muggles are not as laid-back as wizards.
On the streets, breakfast stalls are everywhere, and they loudly solicit customers in awkward foreign languages.
Some vendors selling trinkets and souvenirs are also busy sorting out their things.
"It seems that there are not as many foreigners as there are in the country."
Ronald looked at the European tourists on the street who were just like himself, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Egypt is a tourist city, and it is normal to have many tourists." 9
Braun explains.
"By the way, which pyramid are we going to visit, Bill?"
"Pyramid of Khufu. There is also a mysterious pyramid, but I have to sell it first.
The Pyramid of Khufu is the most thoroughly developed without the slightest danger that even Muggles can visit parts of it.
And a pass is not required either.
The other pyramid I'll take you to see later is the pure wizard browsing the ground. ”
The crowd came to a huge pyramid.
Although it is still very early, the outside of the pyramid is already full of travelers who come to visit.
They excitedly stood under the pyramid and asked their loved ones to take pictures of themselves.
There are also many travelers queuing up to enter the pyramids.
After being stressed by the ticket sellers outside that they were not allowed to take pictures, they entered in groups of ten people and a staff member.
The next group of people will have to wait until the people inside come out before they can go in.
As a result, the waiting time has become long.
"We don't need to go over there, follow me. We go to the wizard's exclusive passage. ”970
The people who followed Bill around the back of the pyramid.
There aren't any travelers here.
"Cast the Muggle Expulsion Curse?
Braun wondered.
"That's right, Chenghui Nine Silver Xiko."
An Egyptian wizard wrapped in a turban said.
He and the Muggle staff in front of him were somewhat like they were sitting on small benches.
Passengers entering the pyramids are charged, but they are only served by wizards.
"Have fun!"
The Egyptian wizard looked for money and said.
"Thank you."
Everyone walked into the pyramid with apprehension.
You must know that although Egypt has declined, it was once wide.
Who knows what kind of backhand there will be?
Some fears are also normal.
It's just different from the darkness Braun expected.
The pyramid is very bright, and there are many wizards inside.
Mostly two in pairs with a child.
Watch the murals on the walls with interest.
Or look through walls that have been enchanted to become transparent to observe the Muggles who enter the pyramids.
Laugh as they look wary.
With so many wizards in the pyramid, Braun was not surprised in the slightest.
Although the wizarding world is very uncomfortable, it is cheaper than the price.
A cross-country trip is only the price of a few silver xico.
Of course, comfort is definitely not guaranteed.
Even if you don't use Floo powder, you can use a flying broom, magic carpet or phantom transfer.
These will be much slower, but they will not cost money.
So many wizards in the wizarding world don't mind taking their children around the world during the summer vacation.
It can not only increase the relationship with the child, but also broaden the child's vision to see the customs and people of various places.
Of course, the most important thing is cheap.
Otherwise, how could so many wizards travel the world after graduation?
Of course, because it doesn't cost a few bucks.
Braun look at that Muggle!
It's funny to see how scared he is!"
Ronald was standing in front of the transparent wall with the other young wizards watching the strange looks of the Muggle travelers.
Braun wasn't interested in those people's outlets.
Pulling Ginny over to the beautiful murals.
On the murals, there are not flat villains like those excavated by Muggles.
It's kind of like a cartoon.
Although the villain above is still abstract, it can also make people clearly understand what it means.
I saw a group of wizards wearing Egyptian costumes and holding huge wands like sticks standing on the top of the mountain.
A group of Muggles were driven by them to carry stones, and among them were strange creatures.
A giant three or four meters tall, a dwarf only a few tens of centimeters tall, twittering and discussing with a design drawing in his hand.
There are still some Braun who didn't guess.
A monster with several heads or several heads.
They were all driven by wizards to build this majestic building.
"These are creatures from ancient times.
That era is known as the Age of Wizards, the era of wizards ruling the world after the disappearance of the gods.
And these creatures are all unique creatures of that period, and some of them have become extinct.
For example, dwarfs, they disappeared into the long river of history.
And some still exist, like giants.
It was the best of wizarding times, not like now... alas
Bill sighed.
The tone was full of yearning for that era.
"Age of Wizards?"
Braun muttered, his eyes a little confused.
My mind can't help but recall those memories in my mind.
The wizard wanders the wilderness, seeking the truth in solitude.
"These pyramids are not so much (AFDB) tombs as wizard towers for wizards.
And the pyramids I'm going to show you tomorrow are the kind of ones that still have magic, not Muggle attractions that have lost their magic. "5
"Bill, don't the dwarves still exist? It's like those goblins at Gringotts.
Percy couldn't help but ask out loud.
Bill glanced at his brother:
"I think it's best not to mention this kind of thing in front of the goblins, otherwise they may beat you up."
If the goblins are really calculated according to race, they are similar to house-elves and belong to the elf category.
Dwarves or dwarfs belong to another species.
They are not the same.
Of course, they themselves do not admit to being related to house-elves.
They consider themselves an independent race. ”
Percy looked a little sycophant, but couldn't help but ask:
"How did the dwarves become extinct?39
"I don't know.
The truth of the matter has long been buried in history.
Maybe in a dozen years we will find the truth in these undiscovered pyramids, and I may be able to tell you then.
After viewing the murals in the hall for a while, the group was taken by Bill to another burial chamber.
"Oh my God! It's beautiful.
Ronald looked at the star map displayed in front of him with some fascination.
In a huge glass cover, a three-meter-long star map made of gem-set is in it.
It seems to have been enchanted.
Every planet shines brightly.
The sun blazing.
Eerie Pluto
And the moon revolves around the blue star.
"Wizards learned about galaxies beyond Earth for a long time.
And star maps were made through ancient telescopes.
Unfortunately, this research has not yet been completed, because the magic of the change of the world gradually disappeared, so that wizards lost their exploration beyond the blue star.
A docent who popularized science for the little wizard took the trouble to explain.
And Bill was happy not to have to explain himself.
He followed the docent with his family.
The crowd followed the docent to another exhibit.
It was a stone statue three meters high, with various alchemical matrices shining with light.
The shattered marks on their bodies mean that these giants have suffered great trauma.
And the eyes that have lost their light indicate that they are long unusable.
"This is a stone giant, belonging to an alchemical creation.
It was also made by ancient wizards to guard the pyramids.
It's just a pity that when we excavated them, they were already damaged and unusable. 99
"Then why not try to fix that?
A young wizard asked out loud.
The docent was patient and did not dissatisfied with the little wizard's question:
"We tried to restore and invited His Excellency Nick Flamel, the famous alchemist of the European continent.
But it's a pity.
This alchemy has been lost and even His Excellency Flamel has no way to restore it. 35
The docent looked very emotional.
Although the ancestor of the country of Egypt has been broad, but now it has declined.
If such an alchemy tool could still be used, it would not be as weak as it is now.
At least those wizards facing the European continent also have their own right to speak and will not take it as they do now.
Even the mining rights of some pyramids need to be sold to Guo Jia in continental Europe in exchange for various funds from the Ministry of Magic and even autonomy.
The emotion in his heart did not last long, and the docent once again led the little wizards to another location with a smile on his face.
"Okay guys, let me see the next exhibit!
This is a legendary artifact - the Millennium Series.
It is said that ancient Muggle pharaohs in Egypt wore it on their bodies to seek refuge from the gods when they died.
