Chapter 54: The Curse Breaker and the Book of the Undead
At the Ministry of Magic of Egypt, Louis looked around and an ancient aura came to his face.
Unlike the British Ministry of Magic, Egypt's Ministry of Magic looks taller, and the entire Ministry of Magic presents a mortal yellow temperament.
"The first floor is the reception hall, the second floor of the Magic Affairs Department, and the third floor of the Rocky Office."
The Egyptian wizard explained to everyone that although Louis had never been to the Ministry of Magic in the UK, he at least knew its operation.
Relatively speaking, Egypt's looks more uplifting, with the stairs spiraling up, which is completely opposite to the one hidden underground in Britain.
In the main hall, there is a statue holding a book and holding a torch. Its wings spread out its wings, which look like the Statue of Liberty in New York. There is also a string of words engraved at the bottom:
Magic is light.
"The eagle is the incarnation of God on our side, because he is the creature closest to the sun." The Egyptian wizard bowed slightly to the statue with a solemn face.
“It feels quite magical.”
"Everyone come with me, Mr. Weasley is still waiting."
After passing through a crowd, before everyone came to a cylinder, the Egyptian wizard waved his wand and immediately lowered a flat elevator platform from above.
"Swish!"
The glass-shaped door slowly opened, and the Egyptian wizard led everyone into it.
"Ah, Segio, I finally found you."
Another Egyptian wizard in the elevator was immediately delighted when he saw this Segio wizard.
"Emurisa, what happened?" Sageo was a little surprised. The director of the Rocky office was looking for him, a young shrimp who had just joined the company, didn't know what the purpose was.
"I just grabbed a remnant saint, but that guy's mouth was too tight. I think I have to ask for your help." Emurisa whispered, making Segio's face slightly embarrassed.
Although the opponent is a saint, Egypt's magical laws attach great importance to human rights. Any use of mandatory interrogation methods, including vomiting of real agents, is illegal.
Louis sighed. He knew what the word Saint means. He was a follower of the previous generation of Dark King Grindelwald. Voldemort's influence only enveloped the entire UK, but Grindelwald's shadow was not just Europe, but even traveled to North America and some Asian countries.
It has been almost sixty years since Grindelwald's fall, and there are still remaining followers who are fleeing, which shows that the mind of such people has long been stamped.
Therefore, the usual methods of dealing with such people are almost ineffective. Unless it is illegal, once such behavior is reported, it is not as simple as losing your job.
All the dirty work is thrown to the newcomers, and the achievements are enjoyed by the leaders.
But Segio could not refuse, after all, he was the director of Rocky's office.
"Okay, but I have to entertain these distinguished guests first, Emerysa, the Minister."
The wizard named Emurisa narrowed his eyes and saw Louis and others.
"British?"
He seemed a little unhappy and pushed his old-fashioned glasses.
The atmosphere in the elevator was a bit awkward, but fortunately, a ruthless electronic sound sounded:
"Three floor, Rocky's office."
After Emurisa left, Segio couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and he explained to Mr. Weasley:
"Emurisa doesn't like British people. Please don't be surprised. Although his character is not good, he does have a way of suppressing the saints as the director of the Rocky office."
"Oh by the way, Rocky is the Auror position on your side."
Mr. Weasley just smiled and did not comment.
"Fifth floor, Ministry of Magical Foreign Affairs."
"Okay, everyone, we're here." Segio made a gesture of inviting.
The style of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is very different from that below. Basically, each country has its own unique style.
Just as he stepped into the gate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a handsome young man came on foot and looked quite Arthur's style.
"Thank you, Segio, let me leave it here." The young man spoke, and the young Segio bent down slightly and left the place.
"Bill!" Mrs. Weasley kissed her son's cheek. Bill Weasley looked particularly vicissitudes. Although she had just graduated, the Egyptian climate really made the young handsome guy a bit miserable.
"You are 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 home.
"Oh, I wonder who this one?"
Bill had never seen Louis, and he was a little curious about the little boy who came with the Weasleys.
"I'm Louis Wiggins, Mr. Weasley." He took the initiative to shake hands with Bill, which won some of his favor.
"Just call me Bill, don't be so polite. You are also a student of Hogwarts."
"Yes, Louis and Ginny are in the same class. They just joined Hogwarts last year." Ron interrupted, "How is life in Egypt, Bill?"
"It's great. There are too many secrets about magic in Egypt. You must not miss this time." Bill's words aroused the great interest of the Weasley brothers, Fred and George, born adventurers.
"But you can't go inside the pyramid, it's too dangerous there," warned Mrs. Weasley.
"I know, mom." The twin brothers looked at each other and raised their mouths.
As a curse solver of the Gringotts, Bil Weasley mainly targets the deciphering of magic codes in Egypt, especially this interior of Egypt, full of mysterious power, like a pyramid surrounded by a large amount of magical aura.
But the curse solver's job is to sign a confidentiality agreement. The agreement is magically imposed, and any leakage of information that touches it will be subject to extreme punishment.
"Actually, it's not that scary inside the pyramid. If you want to, I can take you there." Bill lowered his voice and said, hugging Fred and George's shoulders.
"It's better to bring Percy with you." Fred smirked.
A secret trick-and-treat plan is quietly brewing.
"I don't usually work here. There is a branch of Gringott in Egypt. Today I came here just to go through the procedures, and another pyramid was discovered."
Bill took the Weasleys out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and walked in the Ministry of Magic of Egypt. Suddenly, a commotion attracted everyone's attention.
"You cannot defeat us, and the light of the saints will shine on the earth forever!"
A remnant saint was seized by several wizards and passed by, his face looked extremely ferocious.
"Egypt has not been peaceful recently." Bill shook his head, "the saints are starting to move again."
"The Druids were hunted by the saints again. They had accused the Minister of Magic, but there was no way, these people were 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 magical participation.
For example, the largest pyramid of Khufu in Egypt was built with the powerful stable curse and floating curse of wizards. The current love potion was also invented by Egyptian wizards. According to rumors, one of the ancient Egyptian phraohs was a wizard, and the curse of the phraohs also existed.
Including the Cleopatra who made all men crazy, they were disguised by magic potions, and of course beauty also had to pay the price.
Among them, what interested Louis the most was the Book of the Dead mentioned in the mural, although it was just a few words.
"All the stories mentioned here are real, including this Book of the Dead." Bill seemed to see what Louis was thinking, and he stood behind Louis and explained to him.
"What the hell is this?"
"The Book of the Dead is also called the Necrotic Code." Bild paused, "It is a magic that can control the Necrotic spirit, including the ghosts and dead bodies in the world, and the effect is similar to the dark demon king's Yin corpse."
"But its true charm is more than that, Louis, do you believe that people can be resurrected from the dead?" Bill asked suddenly.
Louis shook his head. The magic he knew that could resurrect the dead did not exist. Even the resurrection stone, which is one of the Deathly Hallows, could not truly achieve resurrection.
"It is probably its greatest charm to be able to do this in the Necrotic Code."
"Impossible..."
Louis couldn't believe that if this thing really existed, it would have caused a bloody storm in the magic world long ago. Because no one could refuse the temptation to be resurrected.
"The book does exist, but no one has ever received it, and the price you need to pay to completely resurrect the dead is probably not what you can imagine."
"Any achievement requires a certain price, and there will never be any pie falling from heaven." Bill's tone was very similar to the teacher who was teaching students a lesson.
Louis naturally knew this.
Cairo is much bigger than London, but the interior architectural design is much worse.
Since Bill decided to take everyone to the pyramid the next day, the Weasleys decided to set up a tent outside the suburbs for rest.
But it is obvious that almost everyone would not set up a tent manually. The guy was busy for a while and finally had to use magic to slowly support the thing.
The charm of magic is more than that. From the outside, it seems that it is only enough for two people to sleep in a simple tent, but when Louis stepped inside, he couldn't help but sigh.
There are four rooms in the entire tent, plus the kitchen and bathroom, which 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's magic wand pointed, and a flame suddenly ignited to keep warm.
"Well... I borrowed this from Mr. Parkin from the office. He is not camping now, poor man." Mr. Weasley leaned against the sofa, enjoying the peace brought by the vacation.
Because we were going to visit the pyramid the next day, the Weasley children did not make a long fuss and then rested early. Percy and Mr. Weasley were in the same room, Ginny slept with Molly, Fred and George were crowded in one room, and Louis slept with Ron Bill in the largest bedroom.
"Good night, everyone."
Ron fell asleep very quickly. Not long after he finished speaking, he heard snoring sounds coming from him.
Louis also slowly closed his eyes, and the magical world of Egypt unfolded slowly in front of his eyes.
