Chapter 151 Ragnow’s Silver Bottle
Chapter 151 Ragnow’s Silver Bottle
"Why?" Griphook was puzzled.
"We don't know anything about the situation underground. If we go down rashly, we will definitely be attacked by a curse." Bill explained.
"You are the best curse breakers in Gringotts. Isn't that what you do?" Ragno asked.
"Then we must be fully prepared, rather than entering immediately." Bill said angrily.
"Bill is right, we haven't even found the entrance. You don't want to dig up the ground yourself, right?" Tertius asked.
"Then go look for it! Why are you still standing there?" Ragno was a little excited.
Bill glanced at Griphook in confusion: "What's wrong with Ragnor?"
Griphook said apologetically: "Ragno didn't make things clear. His original intention was not really to find Hamnaptra, but to find a treasure said to be made by his ancestors. He According to some ancestral records, it is believed that the treasure is hidden in the city of Hamnaputra, and he recently received a prophecy that the treasure should be hidden underground here."
"What treasure is that?" Tertius asked curiously.
Griphook looked at Ragnor in embarrassment.
"You don't need to know." Ragnow replied stiffly.
"If we don't know the target, how can we help you find that treasure?" Bill said dissatisfied.
"That should be a silver narrow-mouthed bottle, about 5 inches high." Ragnow hesitated before replying, "If you can help me find that bottle, all the treasures in the underground can be regarded as your discoveries. , and I will help you put in a good word with the senior management of Gringotts so that you can be promoted as soon as possible."
"Can I understand that if the bottle is really underground here, then the underground building - let alone the pyramid or the underground city - is most likely the legendary city of death, Hamnaptra? Tertius asked excitedly.
"Of course it must be excavated before serious research can be carried out, but I think the probability is high." Ragno replied.
"Bill, how about it? If we discover Hamnaputra, not to mention the treasure inside will make us rich overnight, and handing it over to Gringotts will also greatly improve our status. The title of Discoverer of Mneptra is enough to make us famous in the history of magic!" Tertius said with enthusiasm.
"I agree with your point of view, but I think we should find the correct entrance first, otherwise we alone will not be able to complete the excavation." I don't know which of Tertius' reasons moved Bill, and he pondered for a moment. , nodded in agreement.
As soon as Bill finished speaking, they all felt a slight vibration on the ground. They keenly sensed that the center of the earthquake was in the center of the ruins of the pyramid.
Several people looked at each other and immediately rushed there in tacit understanding. The closer they got, the more they could feel the bursts of violent spell energy that suddenly appeared there.
After several people rushed to the nearby area, they discovered that there was a faint depression with a side length of about one meter.
"There is no evil curse." Tertius waved his wand, and the power of the spell that had escaped before had completely disappeared at this moment.
"Stay away." Bill motioned to the others, then waved his wand: "The house is collapsing!"
After a "boom", a big hole appeared on the ground.
After the quicksand was gone, everyone discovered that it was a deep square hole with a side length of one meter. The steps made of neat stones snaked downwards, leading to nowhere underground.
The entrance to the underground appears.
No one knew that the entrance appeared at the same moment that Dean and others were transported to the underground tunnel by the black hole.
……
After Dean used the luminous spell to illuminate the surroundings, the system began to automatically collect the information on the mural. Although Dean did not have time to look carefully now, he could study it slowly when he had time in the future.
With just a quick glance, Dean roughly understood that the contents of these murals were mostly related to death and rebirth.
What satisfied him was that as the mural information continued to be collected, the gauge of "Mission: Knowledge is Power" also increased. Even if the progress was slow, it was a satisfying thing to gain something.
"Be careful, the curse in the pyramid is very mysterious, we might be hit at some point!" Rolf reminded.
"As long as we don't touch the things inside casually, this possibility will be minimized." Dean said after taking a look at Ron. The system did not give any dangerous prompts.
In addition to relying on the system, Ron's own lucky aura is also an important reliance for Dean.
"I don't think the curse can be avoided so easily." Ron muttered.
"Let's take it one step at a time. We can't just sit here and wait for death." Dean had no better way.
If he was alone, Dean would have loved to stay here and study hard. He believed that in that case, the knowledge gauge would grow faster; unfortunately, he accidentally brought Rolf and Ron here, and he must deal with them Responsible.
Fortunately, the system still works. If any curse is triggered, Dean can detect it immediately - which is why he insists on being at the front.
In Dean's perception, it was clear that the Sniff was heading towards the opposite side of the corridor, and its speed was just the same as Dean's. This gave Dean a bold guess, maybe the Sniff was specifically leading them the way. ?
The question is how does Sniff know that they can keep up? Could it be that it can sense the magical animal tracking technology that Dean set on it?
It's really perfect!
As he continued to go deeper into the corridor, Dean was satisfied to see that the progress of exploring the pyramid was also slowly increasing. He just didn't know how much progress he would reach before the corresponding rewards would be unlocked. Dean was a little hopeful.
Soon the three of them came to the opposite side of the corridor. There was also a pair of Anubis statues guarding here, but these statues were not holding sharp spears, but long staffs with carved tops. Became a lifelike poisonous snake.
"Dean, do you think the staff in the statue's hand can be used as a magic wand?" The journey was uneventful, which made Rolf feel more courageous.
"First of all, you have to be able to hold it." Dean glanced at the staff, which was thicker than Rolf's waist and more than ten meters long.
"Hey, isn't there a shrinking spell?" Rolf said eagerly.
"If you are not worried about being cursed, you can try it." Dean reminded, "If you want to use the death weapon, you should weigh the consequences yourself."
"Rolph, please don't cause trouble again, please?" Ron begged with despair on his face.
It was hard for him to imagine how Rolf, with his trouble-making character, could be so low-key at Hogwarts. He bet that not many people knew that Rolf was the grandson of the famous Newt Scamander.
"Sorry, I may have suppressed it for too long, so I'm letting myself go a little bit now." Rolf's answer confused Dean and Ron. Is he usually so stressed?
