Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1172 Louvre’s Wizard (9)

   "Do you remember when Draco was attacked by the eagle-headed horse-winged beast in third grade?"

  It seemed that Pomona’s casual strolling was too annoying, Severus suddenly said.

"what?"

"Lucius gave Draco a ring, which would protect him, but it wouldn't be of any use to'physically' attacking the ring." Severus stared at the little girl hanging on her chest. Dog model "Maybe this is the same."

   "Apart from the coffin, there are sculptures. Where did the ‘physical’ attack come from?" Pomona couldn’t help rolling her eyes. "Could it be that the mummy can come back to life like in the movie?"

As her voice just fell, a crisp sound suddenly came from the quiet exhibition hall, just like the sound of glass marbles falling on the ground. She was so scared that she shrank her neck, and the arrogance just disappeared. .

   "What are you afraid of?" Severus said slickly. "You should think this is a good opportunity for experimentation. See if your new amulet does not work?"

   "What was that sound just now? You made it?" Pomona asked Gonsei tremblingly. Count Leroy shrugged his shoulders in a very American way, indicating that he had nothing to do with this strange thing.

   "Let's go back." Pomona pulled Severus' sleeves "I'm afraid."

  The old bat smiled triumphantly.

   "Coward."

   "Let's go~" she said in a sweet and pleading voice.

   "Ahem." Gong Saiyi coughed twice uncomfortably.

  The smile on Severus's face melted like a wax figure under the scorching sun.

"My great-grandfather said that there is a Mennon sculpture near Luxor. Every time the sun rises, it will make a sound similar to the sound of a bell. Some people have speculated that it was caused by a generator installed by the ancient Egyptians in the sculpture, but then I heard that this is because the temperature difference between day and night is too great after the sun rises in the early morning, and the sound of stones expands and shrinks." Gong Saiyi said.

  "You said it is a desert. How can the temperature difference between day and night in Paris be as big as a desert?" Pomona said in an angry tone.

  As soon as her voice fell, another clear voice rang out, this time with the gurgling rolling sound, not long after, a small black jackal head sculpture rolled in front of them.

   "Pippi can also throw chalk." Severus said when she was panicking, "Don't make a fuss like a Muggle."

  Pomona clutched her pounding heartbeat, and she felt it was about to jump out of her chest.

  "It's the chess piece of Senet. I saw it in the glass showcase just now." Gonsai said, staring at the chess piece.

  There is such a document in the collections of the British Museum. From 1126 to 1108 BC, the tomb robbery of Thebes was rampant during the time of Ramses IX. The court of Thebes heard the answer to a robbery of the king's tomb, and the papyrus kept the court records.

This case involved two mayors of Thebes. The Egyptians believed that human death was like the sun setting, so they buried the dead on the west bank of the Nile. Therefore, Thebes and the city of the dead where the king’s tomb is located are sister cities. Eastern Thebes is a city of living people, but the mayor of Eastern Thebes, Passel, is an honest but nosy local official. Perhaps he is worried about the frequent rumours of tomb robberies in the city of the dead on the other side of the Nile. , Or he was trying to please his boss, to discredit his enemy and competitor, Pavello, the mayor of Thebes, regardless of his motives, Pasier began to investigate matters outside his duties .

  Soon he found all kinds of disturbing evidence. After being tortured, he got a detailed testimony.

"Then we found the pharaoh's majestic mummy. There were many amulets and gold ornaments on his throat. He wore a golden mask on his head. The entire mummy was covered with gold... We peeled off what we found on the majestic pharaoh's mummy. Gold, amulets and decorations, and coverings on them."

  Pasir submitted his evidence to the governor of the province and asked for an official investigation of the condition of the royal tomb. The governor immediately sent for an inspection. They found that a royal tomb and the graves of some priestesses had been looted. Pasir's witnesses were interrogated again. This time they all claimed to be innocent and denied their previous testimony.

  At that time, the Amon priests of Thebes all participated in the robbery, and Pavello of Thebes strictly controlled the tomb robbers. For those who have been underground all year round and dealing with the underworld, they may not care about the torture they are subjected to during their lives, but they can't help but fear their fate after death. Due to insufficient evidence, the Governor finally withdrew all charges against the tomb thief. Perhaps he himself was relieved because he seemed to be deeply involved in these illegal activities.

Pavello of Thediabes was happy that he easily defeated his opponent. Not only did he secretly pleased himself at home, but a few months later he also assembled the inspectors, cemetery stewards, craftsmen, guards, and all the labor of the cemetery. , Sent to the East Bank for noisy celebrations.

  People marched around in the hustle and bustle of victory, especially near Pasell’s house. The unfortunate mayor was so dignified that he ignored the farce, but his anxiety overcame him. He hurried to see the butler of the pharaoh who lived in Putah Temple and told the butler Qin his concerns.

This is a serious mistake, because his accusation is not only a serious leapfrogging, but also implies that the governor himself was involved in the tomb robbery. The butler told the governor about this. The governor immediately pronounced Passel guilty of perjury and told him not to Ask yourself boring again.

But Passel did not remain silent. He kept submitting relevant evidence to the governor. Finally, to the point where the governor could not cover up his crimes, a new governor initiated a new investigation. 45 tomb robbers attended the court. The main content of the testimony has also been recorded, and it has been preserved with a series of famous papyrus to this day.

  The king’s tomb was stolen thousands of years ago. Tomb robbers are not fools. Those simple burial grounds generally don’t have any precious things. Treasures can only be found in very luxurious and brightly colored noble tombs.

Those gold jewelry and amulets naturally can’t run. By the 18th century, real wealthy people were no longer interested in these gold jewelry. What they wanted was papyrus, which was more difficult to preserve. They were usually placed in the mummy shroud. Here, you have to untie those entangled bandages circle by circle, and sometimes even if you find the papyrus tomb thief, you don't dare to move, because it turns into powder when you touch it.

At that time, "archaeology" had no concept of cultural relic protection. It was often found that a nobleman’s tomb was found and removed. From the murals to the coffins, there was nothing left. All of them were removed. However, these tombs were basically ancient tombs. Many coffins in the Louvre’s collection have only sarcophagi, no cover and mummies inside. There is only one well-preserved mausoleum like Tutankhamun’s tomb, unless those are not verified. Pharaohs who only exist in myths and legends were found.

Six groups of board games were found in Tutankhamun’s tomb, including Senet. The gameplay of this type of chess is mainly to use four long sticks to score points on the front and back, and then play three The chess pieces are moved according to the rules on a ten-square chessboard, and the person who reaches the end first wins.

  Senit means "pass through customs, travel through", and it was very popular in ancient Egypt. This is a game designed based on the path of the dead to the underworld. According to legend, Khonsu, the lunar **** of the three gods of Thebes, and Thoth, the **** of wisdom, confronted Senet and used his light as a bet. As a result, Thoth won the game, so Kongs Can't show all his light, except at the time of the full moon.

   Pomona subconsciously glanced outside the Louvre. The full moon hung in the sky caused a cold war all over her body. She felt that she was not in summer at this moment, but more like it was in late autumn.

   "Do you want to play?" Gonsey looked at Severus.

   "What do you think the bet will be?" Severus said slowly.

   "Soul, body, probably these." Gong Saiyi said boringly, "What else can people in the underworld like?"

  "Are you sure it's a'person'?" Severus asked Gonsey with a smile.

   "Do you think this is the time to laugh?" Pomona held her head, and she felt her head exploded.

"Don't forget that Pluto is also a **** of wealth. Osiris heard that he was a very wise pharaoh. The underworld should be a terrible but rich place." Severus squinted at the chess pieces on the ground. "Maybe we can harvest. A good treasure, don’t you think you are giving any gifts to your friends who love to sing?"

   "That can't be done!" Pomona was crying without tears. "Do you want me to be a widow?"

  Severus smiled mysteriously at her, then said loudly to the void, "How do you want to play this game?"

  His voice echoed in the quiet exhibition hall, with echoes.

  "Perhaps we should go to the chessboard and have a look." Gonsey said to Severus, "There are 5 pieces on each side of chess, and we all add up to not that many."

Severus used his magic wand to float the jackal chess piece on the ground, and walked towards the showcase displaying ancient Egyptian toys. Halfway through, they found a small statue on the ground, which was also one of the chess pieces of Senet. A lion made of turquoise.

  The green lion is a symbol in alchemy. It has many meanings. It can represent lust, the mystery of sunbirds and resurrection, and acid. The black jackal undoubtedly represents Anubis, the messenger of the underworld.

  She didn't want to play chess with dead people at all, she didn't want to at all, but the men were eager to try, and she couldn't stop it at all.

  Desire and curiosity are both the driving force of human progress, which one is better?

  They walked to the booth, the chess pieces in the glass cabinet were already in place, just two chess pieces outside the booth.

  The concealment spell turns an item into everything, and it is not easy to restore it to its original state. It was a miraculous thing that Harry put his cousin in a glass cage in the zoo, although he didn't feel it himself, he only thought that Dudley was funny at the time.

  Severus used the Freeze Charm to freeze the sensors in the exhibition hall, then broke the glass, and then floated them on the chessboard.

  Not long after, a strong wind suddenly blew in the Louvre. This was a miracle, because all the windows in the house were closed.

"As long as our **** goes to the end, even if we win, the 26th, 28th, 29th, and 30th squares are safe squares. The pawns in it cannot be replaced, but be careful of the twenty-seventh square." Gong Saiyi said, "That one. The square represents the water of chaos. The chess pieces that come to this square must start over. The three lions are safe together, and the jackal cannot be inserted between the lions."

   "The three lions remind me of acquaintances, do you know who I am talking about?" Severus asked with a smirk.

  Pomona didn't bother to pay attention to him.

  Who else besides the Gryffindor Team Salvation Trio?

   "I hate Paris." she muttered.

  At this time, the jackal on the board suddenly moved by itself.

   "Two." Gong Saiyi said, "This is the point they just threw. It's up to us."

  Severus pointed his magic wand at the four short sticks.

  When they landed in the small bowl, with three planes facing up and one plane facing down, Severus chose a lion chess and took three moves.

  They immediately observed their surroundings, as if looking for something to happen.

  　 I love Monopoly, hahaha
