The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 187 Exploring the Temple

After getting the results of Xiaoqing's investigation, Ryan and the others walked a few steps and turned a corner. An extremely spacious house made of large ashlar appeared in front of them.Stepping into this room, Ryan could feel the cool breeze blowing on his body, which immediately blew away the heat of being in the tunnel just now.

It seems that there is a vent in this place. Thinking of this, Ryan began to look around.At this moment, Hermione also came out from the hole at the back, and the cool wind from the vent immediately lifted her spirits.

After looking around, Hermione asked curiously. "Didn't it mean that there are always many things waiting ahead after walking a long path in an adventure, why is there nothing here?"

"The adventure novels written by my father are artistically processed. There are so many treasures in reality. Besides, there is only a servant passage here. It is strange that there are good things." After walking for so long, Ryan also wanted to talk to ease his mental fatigue.

"Wait." Ryan suddenly saw something. "What you said is not completely wrong, I think I found some treasures." At this time, Ryan walked to a stone basin in the center of the stone room and pointed to the things in the stone basin.

"What's this?" Hermione leaned forward to take a look, but even if there was a stench of the Foam Head Curse, a stench rushed into her nose, making her back away quickly.

"It's the cheapest thing at 60 Galleons a pound, and I haven't seen this thing in stock in Diagon Alley." Ryan said while blocking Hermione's sight with his body from the Ten Thousand Worlds grocery store. He took out a five-liter oil drum.Then put the yellow-white ointment in the basin into the oil drum.

"Wait, I seem to have read this thing in a book." Hermione thought for a while after hearing Ryan's narration, and then said. "Is this the oil of the demonized anaconda? According to the book, adding the oil of the demonized anaconda as fuel when brewing some potions can greatly increase the success rate of the potion."

"As expected of Miss Know-It-All." Ryan was a little surprised by the scope of Hermione's research, because this is a very partial knowledge.If I didn't see this thing in a book by chance, I wouldn't be able to guess what it is. "You are right, I just found out that it should be able to reach 200 galleons a pound, because the longer the oil is aged, the better it is. The pot in front of us has been aged for at least a thousand years, and it has changed from milky white to pale yellow. .So it doesn’t mean that it’s not good for us to fall this time, at least even if most of the contents in this basin evaporate, the remaining contents can be sold for at least 300 Galleons.”

Hermione didn't show much excitement after listening to Ryan's words. After all, it's hard to make people happy in such a dangerous place, even if they got a lot of good things this time.

After putting most of the enchanted anaconda oil into the oil barrel, Ryan put away the oil barrel and poured the remaining oil into the two grooves on the wall in front of him with a cup, and then fired sparks with his wand to ignite it. Oil in the grooves.

The blue flame was burning slowly in the groove, and as the flame burned, a faint fragrance permeated the whole house.At the same time, the wall slowly rose up to reveal the passage behind.

"How did you find out about this mechanism?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Didn't you see that there is nothing in the whole house except the stone basin. There are only two grooves on the opposite wall, and there are some black burn marks on the grooves. Combine the precious fuel in the stone basin, this mechanism How to open it is very obvious. After all, this is only a passage for servants to pass through daily, and it is impossible to set up various complicated mechanisms like treasure points."

Speaking of Ryan, he took the lead and stepped into the passage. This passage should lead to a more important place, so there are a lot of embossed pictures on both sides. He walked forward while looking at these reliefs, and felt that he was quite Indiana at this time. Jones expedition feeling.

As we all know, archeology has made great contributions to mankind's understanding of ancient history, especially in the magical world, and sometimes things unearthed by archaeology even represent advanced productivity.But in any case, for some owners who stay in ancient ruins all year round, whether they are Muggles or wizards, they definitely don't want to be dug up again.

So soon after Ryan stepped into the tunnel, they were attacked: two heavily armed mummies smashed through the weak stone walls used for camouflage on both sides of the passage, jumped out, and expressed their gratitude to Ryan with their obsidian spears. attitudes of these outsiders.

"Uncleanness returns to silence!" As Ryan chanted the rune drawn in the air with Klingway's teeth in his hand, a pale ray hit a mummy.It may be because it has been abandoned for too long, and most of the wooden armor with runes drawn on the mummy has decayed and lost its magical defense ability.So this spell easily turned a mummy into a cloud of ashes.

But at this time, another mummy took the opportunity to approach, "Stunning!" Hermione's voice came from behind, but the mummy was not alive, and the petrification spell just made the mummy pause.But this also bought time for Ryan, and he took this opportunity to release another unclean death to kill the mummy.

Aren't South American mummies found only in the alpine and dry mountains? How come there are such things in the tropical rainforest?Being able to survive thousands of years in a place with such high humidity shows that the magic in this place is much more dangerous than imagined.Thinking of this, Ryan cast a spell on the knife in his hand: "Holy Weapon".

Klingway's teeth glowed slightly white after Ryan finished chanting the spell. As long as the white light does not disappear, it means that the spell effect exists: it can cause a targeted blow to any evil creature.

After all, the two mummies ambush were too close to them just now, and Ryan was worried that if the passage was narrower next time, there might not be room to release the spell at all, so he added targeted magic to the knife to be prepared. .

Sure enough, mummies jumped out one after another from the stone walls on both sides. These should be defense lines to protect important places from outsiders.Ryan and others who did not have the permission of the temple naturally touched them when they passed the corridor.

According to the inspection of the two mummies just now, it can be judged that this civilization did not invent metal smelting technology, because the weapons on their bodies are all made of obsidian.

For the indigenous wizards or warriors of this civilization, encountering these mummies with bodies as hard as metal, with wooden armor with runes on them, and quick movements in such a small place at close range is basically a narrow escape. The temple also naturally thinks that this is a foolproof method of defense.

But Ryan possesses another civilization's spell specifically targeting this kind of creature, and these mummies have been eroded ten to seventy-eight because of the long time model.So Ryan and the others passed through this passage without any risk, and even when Ryan was familiar with how to deal with these mummies later, he also used the exorcism technique taught by the four-eyed priest to control the six mummies and protect them. .

Finally, they came to a stone gate. According to the map, as long as they passed through this stone gate, the core hall of the entire temple would be above.
