Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Vol 5 Chapter 1: Arrive in Cairo

Cairo, the capital of Egypt, the shining pearl on the Nile, is one of the oldest cities in human history.

The ancient Egyptians called it the "Mother of Cities," while the Arabs called it "Kahel," which means conqueror or victor.

As a city with a history of five thousand years, it is longer than the civilization history of most races in this world.

The regular flooding of the Nile River not only created the mysterious ancient civilization of ancient Egypt, but also shaped this ancient city on the Nile River.

Today, as the largest city in Africa, it is also the political, economic and commercial center of the entire Middle East.

The unique dry climate has completely preserved the ancient ruins of the city. The arrival of the new millennium has also added many new modern buildings to the city.

Donkeys and subways, opera houses and shanties, the history is mixed and alternated here, the ancient and the modern are organically integrated here, there may be a miniature of old Cairo and the remnants of ancient Cairo, but it is innocuous, the wheel of history still carries this The famous city is moving towards a more modern and internationalized road.

For example, Cairo International Airport.

"ladies and gentlemen:

Your flight has landed at Cairo International Airport. The temperature outside is 42 degrees Celsius. The plane is taxiing. For your safety and others, please do not stand up or open the luggage rack.

After the plane has come to a complete stop, please unfasten your seat belt, pack your belongings and prepare to get off the plane.

When picking up items from the luggage rack, please pay attention to safety. Please collect your checked luggage at the baggage claim area. Passengers who need to transfer planes at this station to other places, please go to the counter in the waiting room.

Thank you for flying with EgyptAir! See you on your next trip! "

A crisp and pleasant announcement sounded in the airport, and the taxiing plane finally stopped.

This time, Clark and the others did not take the first class.

It wasn't that he couldn't afford to lift the warehouse, it was just that he, Hermione and Neville, plus the Weasley family of seven, made up to ten people, and Egypt Air didn't have so many empty seats in first class. , instead of splitting into two, it is better to fly business class together.

Fortunately, the wizards are not very picky about enjoying this kind of thing. Even for the Weasley family, the matter of taking the plane alone has surprised them, at least for Mr. Weasley. so.

If it weren't for the fact that Aunt Molly told him thousands of times when he was at home before, he would still be holding the hand of the flight attendant and asking questions.

After getting off the plane, it was like entering a sauna.

As reported by the flight attendant just now, Cairo is located at the southern end of the Nile delta. This is a typical subtropical desert climate. Now it is summer again, and the local average temperature can generally reach more than 40 degrees.

Perhaps for British wizards, when it comes to Egypt and Cairo, most people first think of camels, yellow sand, flying carpets, disappeared ancient Egyptian gods and pyramids full of strange curses.

However, when Clark stepped off the plane, the first impression he felt here was how hot it was!

That kind of heat is not a hot temperature in the conventional sense, but a dry heat that germinates from the heart.

The heat wave from the pavement, the dazzling sun, the deserted sand and the surrounding noise and strange smells.

All kinds of scenes are intertwined. Even the high-level wizard robe on his body has the function of adjusting the temperature of the body surface. After staying in this environment for a while, Clark felt his lips were dry, and the fine sweat began to be uncontrollable. The ground ran down his cheeks.

"Mom, I'm a little thirsty!"

Ginny, who had just got off the plane, poked Mrs Weasley's waist lightly, which made her even more irritable, who was already devastated.

"Didn't you just drink water before you got off the plane? Hold it! This is the Muggle world, and I can't conjure you water."

Mrs Weasley's rebuke made Ginny pouted in dissatisfaction, but her attitude was understandable.

This is not only because of the hot weather, but also because she has to take care of several children to prevent them from getting lost in this foreign country.

Especially the two twin brothers George and Fred, when they got off the plane, they scurried around in the crowd, causing a lot of turmoil.

"Percy, you're optimistic about Ron...George, Fred, you two hurry up! Can't you learn Clark?"

Hearing Mrs. Weasley's slightly hideous roar, Clark reluctantly shook his head.

Beside him, even after the bumps of the long journey, Hermione's interest was still very high. Neville, on the other hand, followed Clark's side step by step, as steady as a bodyguard.

"I did a little strategy before!"

While they were waiting in line to go through security, Hermione happily took a notebook out of her backpack and handed it to him.

"I made a list of all the places worth visiting near Cairo, it's an archaeologist's paradise..."

"It looks pretty good!" Clark looked at the densely packed place names and introductions in the book, and it could be seen that Hermione had put a lot of effort into this trip.

"Of course we can't go everywhere, can we? But there are a few places I think it's worth seeing, such as the Great Pyramid, Gringotts, the Nile Dam, the Egyptian Museum, and..."

Hermione took the trouble to tell Clark about the various sights and customs of Cairo she had read from books.

On the plane just now, they saw the miraculous pyramid group next to the city through the porthole.

On the outskirts of Cairo, on the plains full of yellow sand, the stone mausoleums of the ancient Egyptian emperors stood magnificently and calmly, showing the former majesty of the tomb owners to tourists from all over the world.

In the eyes of the wizards like Clark, even if they were far away, the powerful magical aura that spread out from the pyramid still made people tremble.

"It is said that in those pyramids, there is a powerful curse left by the pharaohs, which must be very ancient and rare magic."

Hermione spoke nervously and excitedly, but her words seemed to arouse the interest of a tourist behind them.

"Little sister~www.readwn.com~ The rumor of the so-called 'Pharaoh's curse' was originally just because the British archaeologist Howard Carter excavated the tomb of the pharaoh Tutkamon in 1922 and found that an inscription was carved on the epitaph. "Whoever disturbs the peace of Pharaoh, death will come upon his head".

After that, with the opening of the mausoleum, disasters also occurred one after another. At that time, 21 people who were directly or indirectly related to the excavation work died one after another.

Such bizarre events, coupled with the subsequent hype of various movies, TV and novels, made the "Pharaoh's Curse" more and more evil.

That's why the 'curse' that has been circulating for decades, where is the very ancient and rare magic? "

Such a Muggle retort made Hermione and Clark realize that they were not at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry now. This kind of chat content involving the magical world, it is best to say less.

The two turned their heads almost subconsciously, and then they saw a beautiful "big" sister.

"Julie!"

Clark made his debut almost as a blurb.
