Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1173 Ghosts and Gods (1)

  European collectors in the 19th century once had a very controversial view, and this view has a market even today.

  They believe that it is best for scholars and business people to bring their precious discoveries to Europe, because there are no museums in Cairo, and museums brought to Europe can protect those cultural relics from looting and destruction. Pasha was a high-ranking official in the administrative system of the Ottoman Empire, usually governors, generals and high-ranking officials, equivalent to the "lord" of the United Kingdom. At that time, Pasha Mohammed Ali of Egypt certainly did not agree with the European ideas. A museum was established, but with the dissolution of that museum, the gifts in the collection were quickly divided up as "diplomatic gifts".

  The three of them all had to carefully check the Egyptian cultural relics in the Louvre. They were dazzled to find some unusual traces.

  At this time, Pomona suddenly thought of Bill Weasley. He had worked in Egypt and was also a curse solver. He was much more credible than the Lord Gonsey Leroy who did not know the foundation.

  Frenches Not everyone is proud to speak French. There are always people who want to speak English because of work. After all, English is now the international language.

But Pomona doesn’t speak French to French people. She has met French people who have traveled to the UK before. As long as she speaks French, they are particularly keen to correct her accent, or “I’m here. "Patience" attitude, pretending to be patient and listening to her speak in French with an accent.

  She was unfamiliar with Gonsai, but Bill was much more familiar. When taking risks, she was more at ease with acquaintances, but she didn't know why she didn't think of it at the time.

She kept reminiscing, always feeling that there was an important thing that she had forgotten, and then she came to the meditation basin. The empty basin was filled with silver material at this moment. It looked like the one in the principal Hogwarts’ room. It's almost exactly the same.

   "Come and take a look." Pomona said to the two men.

  Gonsei and Severus came together.

  Pomona pointed her magic wand at the meditation basin.

   "It's full." Pomona said, "What do you think this means?"

   "Do you know what this is?" Severus asked Gonsey.

   "This is very rare." Gon Saiyi looked at the meditation basin and said, "I saw it in the book collected by great grandfather. This thing seems to be called the meditation basin."

   "There is a Runic artifact in a room full of ancient Egyptian artifacts. What does Muggle think?" Pomona said.

  "This is a room full of unsolved mysteries." Gonsai said, "This stone basin of unknown purpose is also one of the unsolved mysteries."

   Severus leaned over to the **** basin, seemingly eager to dive in.

   "No." Pomona grabbed his arm. "It's too risky."

"The next time it will be the summer solstice and the full moon will be eight years later, who knows if the same vision will happen next time." Severus stared at Pomona, he seemed determined to risk this. In danger.

   "I'm coming." Gong Saiyi said eagerly.

   This time Pomona did not stop, but Severus did not immediately agree.

  Pomona shook her head secretly.

  No wonder Albus felt that Severus sometimes looked like a Gryffindor.

  In the end, Severus brought his face close to the meditation basin. In his words, he was more familiar with the meditation basin. Gong Saiyi looked at his back with her, wondering what he had experienced.

"My great-grandfather used to explore Egypt." Gong Saiyi said without words. "He said that the locals were skinny like monkeys and very agile. Once they opened a giant stone gate, a small local man took the lead in drilling. Going in, it took a lot of effort to open the stone door until he got in."

   "What did he find?" Pomona asked absently.

   "Nothing was found." Gong Saiyi said, "It's smelly and hot inside. He's going back."

  Pomona looked at Gong Saiyi.

"My great-grandfather was not a studious and astute person. At the time, the upper class thought it was a fashionable topic to talk about Egyptian civilization. He collected a lot of Egyptian cultural relics, but he might have forgotten them. My parents knew that it was abandoned for a long time by accident. There are so many Egyptian artifacts hidden in his warehouse."

   "Why don't you sell them?" Pomona asked.

"That was my mother's idea." Gonsey said with a smile, "I should find a job instead of living a prosperous and leisurely life on the legacy of my ancestors. It is precisely because of those cultural relics that I became an appraiser. "

   "You have a smart mother." Pomona exclaimed.

   "My father often said the same." Gong Saiyi smiled. "He said she is the cornerstone of our house."

"Where are your parents?"

  "They all live in the country. Sometimes I go back to see them. They don't like the crowds in Paris."

   "You have no other brothers or sisters?"

   "I have an older brother who works in the Ministry of Magic." Gonsai raised his eyebrows. "He has a lot of opinions about the work I do and thinks that I am growing corruption."

   "How can you stop this?"

"I hope he thinks like you, ma'am." Gonsey called her in French. "We all work in Paris, but we rarely meet each other. I don't know where he lives. Are you satisfied with my answer? ?"

  Pomona feels a little embarrassed and a little overwhelmed.

  "The owner of the auction house is good to me, I'm just tired of working in the office all the time." Gong Saiyi said, "I have seen a lot of antiques, and I have seen many people. I can feel that you are different from them."

   "What's the difference?"

  "You haven't been staring at the thing you want to buy." Gong Saiyi said, "Your husband, he will look my eyes straight. I knew at the time that you were not fools who would be fooled by that old fairy."

   "We exchanged a bottle of Phoenix tears with him." Pomona said, "Do you know how much Phoenix tears are cherished?"

  "Do you know why I think Edward Kelly knows where Nunn is located?" Gonsey said with a smile again.

  Pomona kept smiling.

  At this moment, Severus lifted his head from the meditation basin, and the two of them stopped talking.

   "What did you see?" Pomona asked.

"The Egyptians worship the Nile." Severus said. "After Osiris became the lord of the underworld, Habis became the **** of the Nile, but they did not control the rise and fall of the river, they just reminded the residents along the coast. Pay attention to disaster prevention."

   "I've heard of this myth." Gonsai said, "The Nile is flooding because of the tears of the goddess Isis."

   "I saw the blood sacrifice of the eagle." Severus said, "Not long after the sacrifice was completed, the river began to overflow."

   "What does this mean?" Pomona asked.

  "The Egyptians slashed the eagle's throat with a golden dagger." Severus subconsciously touched the scar on his neck. "I think their bet is the ‘artifact’ used to sacrifice to the gods."

   "That's nothing extraordinary." Gonsai said, "I don't know how many times Egyptians have sacrificed to the Nile in history."

   "But it doesn't work every time. The water level is too high or too low. The Aswan Reservoir is built to control the water flow, but the ecology of the Nile River is also ruined." Pomona said unhappily.

   "Once the game starts, it can't be over." Severus looked at Gonsai, "No matter'we' are not satisfied with the bet, we will keep playing."

  "Did they say what would happen if we lose?" Gong Saiyi asked.

   "They will take away whatever they want, like a sacrifice." Severus curled his mouth. "Even a bird as noble as an eagle will be a sacrifice."

  Gon Saiyi did not show any expression of fear.

  On the contrary, he smiled, his eyes seemed to glow in the dark, like beasts.

   "Then let's continue." Gong Saiyi couldn't wait to say, almost leaping to the showcase where the chess pieces were placed.

   "We can actually find Bill." Pomona said softly, "He knows the foundation better."

   "But Bill is a married man. He has a lovely wife and children." Severus stared back at Gonsaid. "Adventurous things, let the bachelor do it."

  After speaking, he held her shoulders, floated the meditation basin, and walked to the chessboard.
