Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy

In the dark corners of the cave, there are densely packed spider webs. It should have been a milky white silk web. After thousands of years of time, several layers of gray-black dust have fallen on it, mixing it into an ugly and disgusting gray-white color. Next to the thick pieces of spider web connected by broken silk threads, there are countless ancient utensils piled up, all of which were buried with the pharaohs thousands of years ago.

There was a faint smell of decay and mold in the quiet air, which was exactly the same as the eerie environment.

The man whom Weibo called the "High Priest" was standing on an open coffin in a tomb. The dusty coffin lid was opened by magic and placed haphazardly on the ground covered with yellow sand. .

But the most shocking thing was the appearance of the high priest.

There is almost no good piece of meat on the whole body, and only the remaining body tissue is almost completely adhered to the exposed bones. Several joints are wrapped crookedly with several circles of moldy and black shrouds, which looks disgusting and disgusting. It was so ugly that you could even see the black wall behind him through his empty skeleton; two rows of rough and uneven black and yellow teeth protruded outward, and the edges were full of tiny traces of scarab bites, which were not even at all; it was supposed to be The complete skull is missing a section on the right side for some reason. Under the incomplete fracture is a dark black unknown substance. If nothing else, it should be the brain of the high priest.

The only part of the body that can be called complete is probably the two eyes, one big and one small. But even then, the high priest's right eye is slightly tilted downward, as if it will be separated from him in the next moment. It's like the dough fell to the ground.

"簌簌——"

With one or two rustling sounds, two palm-sized scarabs crawled out from the high priest's damaged body, and then disappeared into that corner without knowing it.

No wizard would have such an appearance; as long as any wizard has the above situation, it is estimated that he can directly judge that he is dead, and he has been dead for at least a hundred years.

But this high priest is not a simple little character.

But it can be seen from his name as a priest.

In ancient Egypt, the relationship between the pharaoh and the priests was not a simple monarch-minister relationship.

The mysterious qualities of the priests gave them another level of importance in society, which was to strengthen the influence of religion. In the eyes of the ancient Egyptians, religion was a way to obtain extraordinary power and meet basic needs. It was also an important procedure for controlling the operation of society.

Therefore, priests have irreplaceable importance, both in practical social functions and on a mystical religious level.

If the Pharaoh is the son of the sun god Amun and is the agent and incarnation of the god on earth; then the priest is the representative of the Pharaoh and the manifestation of the Pharaoh's will.

In other words, this can be regarded as the spokesperson of a god!

In other words, this high priest was also an extremely powerful wizard thousands of years ago!

The high priest rolled his damaged eyes and looked at the three strangers in front of him who had freed him from the torture of immortality.

One is blond and has an expressionless face; one is holding a coin in his hand and smiling; and the last one hides himself under a hood and cannot see anything.

The person who just spoke was the expressionless blond wizard.

The high priest raised his hand, and several thin strands of wind and sand rose up with his movements. I don't know what method was used, but the high priest said something, but his voice was hoarse and ugly: "Who are you?"

Now that they have come here, it is natural that Weibo and the other three are not clear about what kind of person the "Mr. High Priest" they had manipulated the Muggles to dig up before was.

This is a ferocious character who dared to kill the current pharaoh four thousand years ago!

Although the high priest is currently unable to regain his former terrifying power due to his incomplete body, the power emanating from his soul is clearly transmitted to the hearts of the three Weibo people.

Lucky squeezed the lucky rabbit coin in his hand unnaturally. Among the three people who came to Egypt this time, he was the one with the lowest strength. When facing such a legendary character from thousands of years ago, it is inevitable to feel a little uneasy.

Naturally, as the most loyal believer of the goddess of luck, Lucky, who almost drank the elixir as plain water, firmly believed that no one, no wizard, or any weapon in the world could directly harm the goddess of luck through the protection of the goddess of luck. Him; but what to say? Even with such certainty, there is always a feeling of uncertainty in my heart.

Weibo stiffly twisted his neck and glanced at Lucky with an indifferent expression.

After a moment, he turned his head and looked at the high priest.

According to Lucky's character, he was the most talkative among the three people sent to Egypt by the organization. He was also responsible for dealing with other personnel on a daily basis. But for some reason, Lucky was acting like a mute at this time. say.

There was no other way, Weibo had no choice but to come by himself.

"Mr. High Priest, we are just three alchemists." Weibo said slowly, his calm voice speaking the same ancient Egyptian language as the high priest.

"Alchemist?" the high priest said, but soon asked his real concern, "What time is it?"

"1994 AD." Weibo said indifferently, "3713 years have passed since your era."

"Three thousand years..." The high priest lowered his head slightly, "Yes, I have been struggling between life and death for more than three thousand years... The closed sarcophagus, the endless scarabs, the increasingly decaying body... "

After pondering for a while, the high priest said again: "Who is the Pharaoh today?"

"Mr. High Priest, there is no pharaoh anymore." Weibo said without emotion. "Cleopatra VII, the last female pharaoh of Egypt, died before 2024. Now Egypt is governed by the Egyptian Ministry of Magic.”

"Female pharaoh? When can women become pharaohs?" the high priest said angrily, with a loud voice that made the cave seem to shake. "How can they afford the glory of the sun god Amon?"

"Who knows." Weibo said expressionlessly.

After a while, the high priest seemed to have recovered from the existence of the female pharaoh.

He looked at Weibo again and asked, "Did you just say the Ministry of Magic? What is that?"

Weibo opened his mouth and was about to speak.

At this moment, the hooded wizard who had been silent until now spoke.

A gray snake as thick as a finger emerged from under the hood and pulled back the edge of the hood. Under the hood, a pair of silver-white eyes were immediately reflected in the eyes of the high priest.

"Mr. High Priest, please stop doing such a waste of time. Without the bodies of those Muggles who opened the coffin, you will never be able to return to your human form, and it is impossible to regain your original strength." Silver Eyes The wizard's voice sounded smooth and cold, like a poisonous tongue that chooses and bites people, "We just want to know one thing now. The "Anubis" that originally recorded all the information about death, hell, and souls in ancient Egypt Where is the Book of the Dead?"
