Hogwarts Crawler.

Cologne was not interested in petting the fur ball, so he did not go forward to join him. Instead, he looked at Uther expectantly:

"The furball was going to give a riddle before, right? Let's guess it!"

"Yes, of course when you meet the Sphinx, you have to experience the Sphinx's riddles!"

Bernard followed up.

Maotuan perked up when he heard this and looked at Uther expectantly.

"Well, you can, but if you answer the Sphinx's riddle incorrectly, it will become irritable and aggressive. Even if the fur ball is raised by me, I can only guarantee that it will not attack us. Then we won't be able to observe it closely like this."

"Then take a guess."

Adam let go of the Sphinx's hand and took a few steps back. He was more interested in the Sphinx's riddle.

If he really wants to touch something furry, he has other animals to choose from.

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Maotuan proudly straightened his upper body:

"Tell me: what can run but never walk, have a mouth but never speak, have a head but never shed tears, have a bed but never sleep?"

Uther raised his eyebrows. Years of familiarity allowed him to quickly guess the riddle of the fur ball. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as this at least ensured that the fur ball would not go berserk.

Adam thought for a few seconds. The Sphinx's riddles are usually not made up casually and are basically inseparable from the environment in which it lives, so he quickly guessed the answer.

"Those who have guessed the answer should not tell the answer yet. Write it down on a piece of paper so that we can all check it together later."

Eugene suggested, pulling out a notebook from his bag and tearing off some paper, then taking out a few pens and distributing them to everyone along with the paper.

"Eh? You've already guessed it?"

Cologne, who was still thinking, looked at him in surprise.

"not yet."

Eugene shook his head, then looked at Uther and Adam who had already started writing:

"But I think they've figured it out."

Chapter 51 The End of the Journey to Egypt

After some hesitation, everyone wrote down their own answers.

Five hands came together, holding their answer sheets, on which was the same answer written in different handwritings - "River".

A river can run but never walk, has an mouth but never speaks, has a source but never sheds tears, has a riverbed but never sleeps.

"correct answer!"

Maotuan nodded excitedly:

"Do you want to keep guessing?"

Uther glanced at his roommates who were all very interested, and said to Maotuan:

"Come up with a question."

I'm in Hogwarts for a year, so I might as well take this opportunity to spend some time with it.

Moreover, Maotuan is the only Sphinx he can guarantee will not attack them if they answer the riddle incorrectly.

"Some try to hide, some try to deceive, but time will reveal everything, and we will always meet."

It seems that Maotuan has accumulated a lot of riddles, and he hardly hesitates when he speaks out a new riddle:

"Guess my name as best you can, and when I really have you, I promise you'll know the answer."

After some guessing, Cologne didn't get the answer right this time.

The answer was death, and Cologne's answer was the end-of-year exam paper.

"Some people try to hide, some try to deceive, but time will reveal everything, and we will always meet... I think there seems to be nothing wrong with this answer?"

Bernard smiled bitterly.

"But you obviously got good grades, Cologne."

“Just because I do well on the test doesn’t mean I like taking tests!”

Cologne said it with confidence.

The fur ball struggled for a while, but had to admit that this answer did fit the riddle for a Hogwarts student, and reluctantly concluded that Cologne had gotten it right.

It seems that this is still an enlightened Sphinx. Adam is willing to call it the enlightened beast (the enlightened beast located in Kunlun Xu, China: "Ahhh--Ahchiu!" x9).

Everyone then guessed a few more riddles. Although the answers given were sometimes contrary to Maotuan's, when Maotuan thought about it carefully, there seemed to be nothing wrong with them.

So until they said goodbye to Maotuan, all five of them had answered all the questions correctly, and Maotuan waved goodbye to them in high spirits.

"Actually, there's nothing particularly interesting inside the pyramid."

Entering the main body of the pyramid, Uther took out lighting tools from his bag and distributed them to everyone while introducing them:

"The only things of value to us are the words on the wall and the statues, but you can't read them. Let me translate them for you."

"Wow, Uther you are really amazing, you know so many languages."

Cologne couldn't help but sigh.

Although Uther's family communicated mostly in English, they occasionally used Arabic, and the hieroglyphics on the wall were ancient Egyptian.

"Ahem, it's actually okay~"

Even the darkest skin among the five could not hide the blush on his cheeks. Uther translated the inscriptions on the wall for everyone and explained the stories behind the statues.

There were verses praising the Pharaoh's achievements when he was alive, and there were also verses wishing the Pharaoh a smooth resurrection... As the parts about his achievements were from the wizard version, Adam was also quite amazed.

It is worth mentioning that in order to express respect for gods and pharaohs, the biggest requirement for the overall hieroglyphics is beauty and symmetry. For this reason, it can be written vertically or horizontally, from left to right or from right to left, depending on the lines between the characters and the direction of the animals' heads.

This made everyone sigh:

“It’s just like painting.”

"In that era, only those who mastered writing could access the secrets of knowledge, and those who mastered the sacred texts could master the most profound knowledge - magic."

Uther stroked the holy book on the wall, sighing at the ancient past, and suddenly he seemed to touch something.

"what is this?"

Uther looked closely and saw that it was an Eye of Horus, which represented the Pharaoh in this passage.

The Eye of Horus did not look abnormal at all, and with doubt, Uther reached out his hand again and gently placed it on the Eye of Horus. As expected, he touched the bulge again.

After confirming it, Uther decisively withdrew his hand.

How could there be such an unusual protrusion in the pyramid inscription, and on the Eye of Horus, a symbol of holiness and pharaoh? Not to mention that this point seems to have been deliberately hidden.

Uther remembered that this pyramid was not built to welcome future generations to visit, so he decided to go back and ask his father.

"Everyone has seen enough, right? Let's go back."

There was really nothing new left, and everyone nodded in response.

Back in the villa in Cairo, Uther said that he had prepared Egyptian-style clothing for everyone - that is, the khalasiris he was wearing, and asked everyone to change into it. In the evening, his parents would come back early, and everyone would go rafting on the Nile together.

Unexpectedly, under the guidance of Uther's servants, everyone changed into Karasiris and came out, but Uther still made them wait for a long time.

When he came down from the second floor, Uther was immediately surrounded by Adam and the others.

"Great! No wonder it took you so long. I didn't expect you to change into such a beautiful outfit!"

Bernard hooked his fingers around Uther's belt, which was studded with turquoise and other gemstones, and dragged him forward, while Cologne pushed his back from behind:

"After this change of clothes, we look like your followers!"

"Okay, okay, the brothers are connected with you by heart, why are you playing brain games with the brothers?"

Adam reached out and summoned the Staff of Darkness, the spikes of the sun and the gems on Uther's body gleaming together in the sunlight:

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

"I hope you can give us a reasonable explanation, otherwise you may have to go on the evening cruise naked."

"I'll leave you a pair of underwear at most."

Eugene added.

"Didn't you say you wanted to see me wearing Egyptian clothes?"

Uther immediately cried out in grievance, and opened his hands to show off his clothes with golden patterns and various gemstones:

"My father and I are the only ones in Egypt who can wear this. Isn't that unique enough?"

"So that's your last words, right? Adam stabbed him!"

Bernard and Eugene lifted Uther up, and Adam raised the Dark Staff as if to chop him.

After some antics, Uther finally changed into the same clothes as everyone else when they were rafting on the Nile River. After all, although Adam and the others didn't dare to do anything in Egypt, they had to go back to Hogwarts after school started.

These guys might actually be able to strip him down to his underwear.

They spent four days in Cairo, seven days in Thebes, and stayed in other cities for less than a day. Adam and his friends played for nearly a month before they said goodbye to Uther.

Before leaving, Uther gave each of them a roll of papyrus with something written in hieroglyphics on it, which Adam and the others could not understand.

"This is a blessing from Amun-Ra."

Ra and Amon were the main gods of the two systems of Heliopolis Ennead and Thebes Octagon respectively, and later the two were merged into one.

So this papyrus should be some kind of diplomatic friendship letter.

"I'm looking forward to getting a taste of home at Hogwarts."

Before leaving, Uther couldn't help but remind him.

"no problem!"

After saying goodbye to Uther, everyone set out on their return journey.

Chapter 52: The Secret Vault of Nicolas Flamel

When Adam returned home to London and saw the letter from Hogwarts, he remembered that he still had to buy new textbooks this year.

Although Adam had almost bought out all the books in Flourish and Blotts before, he couldn't help but see that Gilderoy Lockhart had published a new book this year - yes, Adam had bought several of his old works.

After all, although this guy has no other skills except the Forgetfulness Spell, the experiences he stole are genuine and have certain reference value.

Apart from that, we have to admit that Lockhart's writing style is also very good. It is a talent to be able to write real adventure experiences in an engaging way. His works are also good if you just read them as novels.

"When you go to Diagon Alley, why not take a look at the vault left by Nicolas Flamel..."

Thinking of Nicolas Flamel, Adam couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and put aside the list of books sent by Hogwarts:

"Hmm? Any other letters?"

When he opened it, he found that it was from Harry. Previously, Adam had sent a letter to Harry in order to confirm which snowy owl Ares had taken a fancy to. Harry was unable to reply because his window was sealed with iron bars. Later, he was taken to the Weasley house and was able to send the letter, but Adam was already in Egypt at that time.

Fortunately, there was nothing important in the letter. It just said that he was very happy to receive Adam's letter and explained why he had not replied. Apart from that, he also excitedly wrote a series of exclamations about how magical the wizarding family was.

"Hedwig should be doing well now, you can rest assured."

Adam nodded at Ares.

"Goo-"

Ares flapped his wings, still looking indignant.

The trip ended without trouble. With a tired grandfather and a still sad grandmother, Adam came to Diagon Alley alone. After hesitating for a while, he decided to go to Flourish and Blotts first. It shouldn't take too much time to buy a book.

Then he regretted it.

Looking at the banner in front of him, Adam paused and silently planned to turn around and go to Gringotts to buy books after the book signing event was over.
