Chapter 330 Invitation
As time came in August, Felix thought he would stay in Diagon Alley until the beginning of the Quidditch World Cup, until he received a letter from student Cremy Villa.
‘Dear Professor Happ
I also work in Gringott, Egypt, and except for the work environment is a bit gloomy and humid, everything is fine here.
I met many friendly colleagues. A senior named Bill Weasley led me. When I mentioned you to him, I unexpectedly found out that he knew you and was still enrolled in the same year as you! I couldn't wait to ask him about you more, but it turned out to be a bit unexpected. He described you as a "winning sphinx" because in a few short conversations, you politely asked him about his very profound ancient magical texts and magic theory knowledge, but he couldn't answer, which made him a little embarrassed and his self-esteem was traumatized (Bill himself is a very funny and humorous senior who said these words with a smile).
I also met some local friends, who came from the mysterious Wagado, a huge magic school with more than 5,000 students! It was impossible to imagine the scene of so many people attending classes together, but they told me that this was because Wagado recruited students from all over Africa...
I am now facing a difficult problem. After exploring a tomb at the bottom of the Egyptian pyramid, we accidentally discovered a dark room leading to a deeper layer. It was a long, winding downward corridor, shrouded in thick black fog, and was filled with all kinds of dangerous magic traps. Before we even finished exploring the corridor, a colleague suffered seven or eight kinds of curses and we retreated urgently.
This colleague was sent to the hospital, but he brought back a stone slab on the corridor wall, which was actually carved with ancient magical texts. I had never touched them before, and even my grandfather could not crack and translate them. It seemed to come from a more distant era.
I seriously suspect that they are all practical ancient magical texts (the depicted patterns are sent with letters). I am eager to accept your guidance. If you can come, it would be better.
Your student, Cremi Vera.’
Felix put the letter aside and looked at the Egyptian Holy Heron beside him, a large bird more than half a meter in size, with a white body, but the ends of its wings and tail feathers were dotted with black.
The bird's head and neck are pitch black and bare, with a long beak curved downwards looking like a sickle.
Its legs were long and strong, and at this moment, it kicked over a tightly wrapped package next to it. After Felix took it apart, he saw a three-foot square piece of parchment paper, which was on it, which was the pattern obtained by Vera's tracing slate mentioned in the letter.
He looked carefully at the stone slab copy and confirmed the true faces of these patterns at first glance. They are indeed ancient magic texts. To be precise, this should be a part of an ancient magic - a fragment of the magic text sequence. When he tried to outline this incomplete pattern, a black lightning arc was rippling in the air.
Felix looked through the letters sent by Cremy carefully again, and he felt a contradiction - the owner of the dark room was swaying in the corridor with ancient magic, which seemed to indicate that the owner was a very generous person, but the black fog and curse were inextricably linked to generosity.
He did not easily determine that this was a black wizard, because in different eras, people have different definitions of black wizards. Among the ancient wizard groups, all those who can be called black wizards are extremely evil, and they are not comparable to those now.
"A powerful ancient wizard slipped into the pyramid, created a dark room for himself, and laid a complex curse... Could it be some kind of harsh inheritance? And black fog and curse are tests for outsiders?"
"Or, is it to use human greed to punish accidental intruders?"
Felix wrote a reply letter, attaching all the information, including his own guesses. He also expressed his gratitude to Vera's invitation, and then he felt aroused his heart and asked if he could bring a student and his assistant had mastered a lot of ancient magical knowledge in two years. It was time to get in touch with some social practices.
After waiting for a few days, Cremi Vera sent a reply letter expressing her welcome to him and the student. The letter also had a formal invitation from Gringott. There were two places on the name, one had the name "Felix Happ" filled in, and the other was blank.
Only by holding this invitation will you be allowed to enter the pyramid to explore.
Felix smiled slightly and filled in the blanks with the name "Hermione Granger".
The next morning, Hermione excitedly came to Future World Company in Diagon Alley and kept looking at it curiously. Just yesterday, the professor sent a letter to her to explain the situation and invited her to explore the pyramids of Egypt! She had long wanted to go. Although the professor told her that she would stay in the rear most of her time, she also had the opportunity to get close to the magic ruins of thousands of years ago in a safe manner.
"Professor Lupin!" Hermione unexpectedly saw Professor Lupin's figure, "Why are you here?"
Lupin smiled and said, "You have to find a job for yourself." He took Hermione upstairs and briefly introduced the company's situation. The employees he met along the way greeted Lupin, and soon, they came to an office on the fifth floor.
Pushing open the door, Felix was sitting in the chair, staring at his palm seriously, where a black lightning bolt was entrenched. Seeing Lupin and Hermione come in, he dissipated his magic and smiled.
"Remus, I might have to leave for a few days."
Lupin shook his head and sighed, "When you come back, do you have to go to France?"
Felix said humorously, "Remus, you won't have the talent for prophecy, do you?"
...
"Professor, are you studying magic lamps?" Hermione asked. When she came over, she saw magic creatures of various shapes. She found that each animal was wearing a glowing magic light ball, which was very similar to the ancient magic lighting technique she mastered.
Felix smiled: "The research work has been completed, and they are preparing for the Quidditch World Cup, a large light show."
"Light Show..." Hermione imagined the picture and couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Okay, it's a bit too late today. When we come back from Egypt, you can stay here and see more." Felix said, looking forward to Hermione continuing to study ancient magic script after graduation. Her current level has surpassed all employees in the future world.
And it's still four years before she graduated from Hogwarts.
...
Egypt, the Nile Valley.
Felix and Hermione walked on the streets of Cairo, feeling the exotic style that was coming to their faces. An Arab with a crappy accent asked them if they needed a camel, but they refused. Hermione reluctantly watched the strange-shaped camel leave them, and fed it a bunch of hay before leaving.
"Well, we need to meet your senior sister first, she shouldn't be able to wait," Felix said, adding, "Maybe you'll have a chance to sit on a camel later? I think the pyramid is in the desert..."
