After a few seconds of silence, Ms. Li sighed:
"Then let's go next year. I'll buy you a plane ticket to Egypt."

"It's too late. I'll just use magic. Thank you for understanding!"
He hugged Ms. Li and kissed her on the cheek, then Adam waved the Dark Staff and disappeared on the spot.
As the scene in front of him turned into Uther's villa, Adam heard several loud shouts:
"who?!"
It was in Arabic. Adam looked around and saw five wizards pointing their wands at him. The chains that quickly imprisoned him were blocked by the protective magic around Adam.
"I'm here to see Uther."
Adam started speaking ancient Egyptian, which confused the five wizards.
"Adam?"
The sound of footsteps came from the second floor. It turned out that Uther's mother Tuya heard the noise and ran down from upstairs.
"Aunt……"
Just as Adam was about to speak, he saw Tuyana's red eyes.
"I already know……"
Tuya took out a piece of letter paper from her pocket. Her fingers couldn't stop shaking. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
"I didn't expect you to come so soon... Come with me."
The wizards surrounding Adam stepped back at Tuya's signal, and Adam followed her to the top floor.
"This is Uther's room, please go in."
"..."
Adam thought about it and thought it was a bit hasty to say that he wanted to save Uther right now. Tuya was unlikely to believe that he had the ability to do so. However, if he delayed any further, Uther might really die at any time...
After thinking about it, Adam pushed the door open and walked in as Tuya said.
As soon as he opened the door, Adam wanted to slam it and leave, to erase this memory and wish he had never opened the door.
"Uther... prepared a portkey before he left."
Tuya walked into the room from Adam's side, slowly came to Uther who was lying on the bed, and her voice was obviously trembling:
"Yesterday, Merian activated the portkey, but what I got was his body, and..."
Chapter 88 Hidden Clues
"Uncle is dead?!"
"Yes... He was the one who activated the Portkey, but what was teleported back was only his body, and along with it, Uther also came back transformed into this..."
Tuya held Uther's hand, shook her head and couldn't say any more.
Adam tightened his grip on the Staff of Darkness again and again before he was finally able to control his legs and move forward.
Uther lay on the bed with his eyes closed, just like he usually did when he stayed in bed in the dormitory.
However, his upper body was naked at this time, and there was a big hole in his chest. Where the heart should have been, there was now a scarab carved out of emerald.
Although Uther returned, his heart was left there.
The only thing that allowed Adam to think calmly was probably that he discovered that Uther, who had lost his heart, was still not dead.
"What happened to them?"
"I have no idea……"
Tuya wiped her tears:
"Merrian only said that he had made a discovery, and then he took Uther and the priests into the desert. This kind of thing was very common before, so I didn't ask any more questions..."
"Auntie, do you know where Uther and the others originally went?"
"…I remember it was Hamunaptra."
Tuya recalled,
"Merian and I have explored that place many times, so I didn't pay much attention to it this time."
In the past, she had led priests to explore. This time, Merian brought her son with her, and the place they went to had been thoroughly searched many times. She thought it was just an ordinary exploration. Who knew that such an accident would happen...
Adam nodded and asked:
"The current situation at the Ministry of Magic..."
"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."
Tuya thought of the letter she received in the morning, and at the same time she felt even sadder, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart:
"Thank you for coming over...By the way, how did you get here so quickly?"
It took less than an hour from the time she received the letter to the time Adam arrived. Even if they had gone through the Ministry of Magic, it shouldn't have been that fast.
"That's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about next..."
Adam told Tuya that he had been driven to Egypt by magic, and proposed to Tuya that he wanted to rescue Uther.
Then, as expected, he was rejected.
"I don't agree! Your idea is too risky."
Tuya said firmly:
"I appreciate your desire to save Uther, Adam, but he's already..."
"I can feel that Uther is not dead yet. If we can find the reason why he became like this, he can still be saved!"
Tuya was stunned by Adam's determined expression, then sighed:
"If I can, I would certainly like to save him...Okay, I will do my best to help you."
However, when he saw Tuya's offer of help, Adam fell silent.
"Hamnaptra has been cleared countless times. I have led a team to explore it at least twenty times. We have checked every accessible place. They must have made some new discoveries this time."
Tuya felt despair as she looked at the four piles of papyrus in front of her that were taller than a person:
"This is the information that Merian came into contact with before he set out. I need to find the new discovery from it, and find out how Uther and his companions encountered those dangers, and why they became like that... The amulet can only protect Uther for one day. There is less than half a day left, and I have only checked less than a quarter of it."
"...Can't you ask someone else for help?"
"Besides Merian and I, the only ones who know anything about Hamunaptra are the priests who didn't return."
Tuya shook her head:
"I don't mind other people looking at these things now, but they don't know which ones have been discovered before and which ones are new discoveries."
"...Take your time to search. I should be able to extend Uther's protection for a little longer."
Adam returned to Uther's room and cast a protective spell on Uther.
A protection that can even stop time should be able to prevent the unknown danger from taking Uther's life.
"My boy, you better hold on until I come and rescue you..."
Sitting down on the bed, Adam reached out and held Uther's hand. It was still warm, which made Adam feel less nervous when he saw the broken chest.
"If you want to say goodbye to Bernard and the others, go by yourself. Who wants your junk? If you want money, I can become rich enough to rival a country in a minute... huh?"
Adam suddenly remembered that Uther's decision seemed to be constantly changing.
For example, when he left the letter to Adam, he obviously had no intention of writing to his mother. It was only after he returned to Egypt that he wrote the letter to Tuya.
So after he returned to Egypt, before he actually set off, would he leave behind clues that he had not yet decided to leave when he wrote to Adam? If so, where would he leave them?
Of course it was the place where he left a letter for Adam to see!
Thinking of this, Adam quickly bent down and dragged out a box from under Uther's bed.
On the lid of the box was a pair of Eyes of Horus. Adam opened the lid without paying any attention, and what he saw was a folded papyrus.
"This is... a map?!"
Should he be thankful that the clues Uther left for him were not riddles or proverbs that needed to be deciphered?
Adam immediately took the papyrus to find Tuya. Tuya recognized at a glance that this was the underground level of Hamunaptra. At the same time, a passage that Tuya did not know about was marked on the map.
"Where did you find this?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"In the box mentioned in the letter Uther sent me."
Tuya looked at the map left by her son, then looked at the four piles of information left by her husband, and wiped away her tears:
"This bastard is not as reliable as my son... Let's go now!"
"Auntie, tell me the way to Hamunaptra. I will go there alone. I can't leave you here now."
After hearing what Adam said, Tuya subconsciously wanted to refute, but she fell silent again after looking at the map:
"Since Uther chose to leave the clue to you instead of me, then..." Perhaps in his son's heart, if something really happened to him, Adam would be the one who was more likely to save him?
In the end, Tuya sighed. Her husband died suddenly, and she really couldn't leave him here:
"be careful!"
Finding a map near Egypt, Tuya drew a circle on the map:
"Hamnaptra has been cast with an unmappable magic. You have come to this location on the map. There is a quicksand there. Once you are swallowed by the quicksand, you will be sent to Hamnaptra... During this time, you must find a way to survive in the quicksand."
Tuya looked into Adam's eyes. If there was any hesitation or worry in Adam's eyes, she would not reveal any more information but let Adam go back.
If he could barely handle the initial quicksand, then sending Adam to save Uther would be just a way to die.
Fortunately, what reassured her but also made her more worried was that Adam's eyes were full of confidence:
"and then?"
"Then……"
After taking a deep breath, Tuya finally made up her mind and explained one by one the points that needed to be paid attention to on the way to the passage on the map, and Adam wrote them down one by one.
Before leaving, Tuya couldn't help but hold Adam's hand:
"Whether you can save Uther or not, you must pay attention to your own safety. Even if... Uther certainly doesn't want to see you enter the underworld with him."
"Don't worry, Auntie. I will definitely bring Uther back."
The situation in Egypt must have been somewhat turbulent at this time. In order to avoid trouble, Adam first concealed his figure with a magic card before leaving Uther's house.
He found many people hiding around Uther's house, perhaps they were protecting him secretly, or perhaps they were looking for opportunities. None of this mattered to Adam.
If Merian was the Pharaoh of the past, then Tuya was the high priest of the past. Adam believed that Tuya could easily solve these problems.
Chapter 89 Anubis
"The first step is to be swallowed by the quicksand..."
Adam found the quicksand pit that Tuya mentioned and was swallowed up by the quicksand without any resistance. Wrapped in protective magic, Adam drifted in the sand for half an hour before he felt his feet disappear.
The magic circle flashed in the void, and the silver-white wings with a similar color to the Animagus's fur suddenly spread out, flapping twice in the air to stabilize the body. Fluorescent balls floated out of Adam's hands, illuminating the dim underground palace.
Stone tablets are engraved with symbols praising the gods. The tall statue of Anubis stands at the end of the sight. Looking up, the flowing yellow sand is blocked above the head by an invisible force.
This is the above-ground level of Hamunaptra. In the past, Egyptians worshipped the gods of the underworld here with fear of death. But now no one cares about it and the solemn and magnificent buildings have become ruins buried in yellow sand.
"The second step is to activate the mechanism."
Adam arrived in front of the statue of Anubis, landed on the ground and folded his wings. He then found the mechanism that Tuya mentioned. After activating it, Anubis slowly turned half a circle with one foot as the center, revealing a staircase leading downwards.
Adam walked down the stairs and after about a minute, a light finally appeared in front of him. In the light, Adam saw a stone door and a huge monster.
"The third step... is to go through the gate guarded by the Sphinx."
