Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Vol 5 Chapter 19: Departure, star positioning

From Cairo to the south, the scenery around you is often more and more desolate.

In the whole of Egypt, except for a few tourist cities, all you see on the outskirts of the city are large tracts of farmland that are not very well-cooked.

The sparse urban agglomerations are dotted along both sides of the Nile River, and the pedestrians beside them gradually lose the shrewdness of downtown Cairo, revealing a sense of embarrassment and dullness.

In fact, to Clark and his party, it looks more like Egypt in the late 1960s.

Hermione and Neville even felt that it was not as good as the countryside where English wizards lived.

But for Hu Jianjun and Wang Desheng, two uncles in their 40s, the scene in front of them actually revealed a kindness.

In fact, if you often travel around the country and open your eyes to the whole world, you will find that in today's world, most countries are even in the late agricultural state.

Since World War II, human technology has changed rapidly.

From the beginning of the British Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, in just a few hundred years, it has crossed the steam age and the electrical age and entered the information age.

Americans in the New World have used clean and efficient nuclear energy, started the commercialization of the Internet, and even left a small step for mankind on the moon.

However, the geographical division of human society on this planet is becoming more and more obvious.

Except for a few economically developed regions in Western Europe, North America, East Asia and Australia, most other countries and regions are still in agricultural societies.

Even in the most powerful country in Africa like Egypt, except for a few industrial tourist cities, other places are more like still in the 1960s. It seems that the time here, after 1960, seems to be frozen, and there is no going back. flow before.

On this planet:

The United States, which has just won the bipolar dispute, formally established the pattern of "one superpower, many powers", and has become the only superpower in the world, is the first world.

In Europe, Australia, Japan, Russia and other countries, although the economy is still prosperous, and the industry is still supporting the backbone of the entire society, the overall situation has entered a decline and entered the late stage of capitalism. They are the second world.

In developing countries such as India, Southeast Asia, Egypt, and China, the economic system is not yet developed, but they have population potential. People are still living in an industrialized society, which is the third world.

But on the African continent, after the exodus from Egypt, where there are cities, it may be called the fourth world... There is water, electricity, and some primary industrial products, other than that, industry has nothing to do with them.

In the vast lands outside these cities, human activity has almost declined to the Iron Age - except for iron tools, there are almost no means of production related to industry.

Fortunately, there are still abundant resources here. When the information age comes and the world is more closely connected, many countries have set this place as a new arena for competition.

Although the people here often criticize the aid of countries such as China, Europe, and the United States for plundering their resources, they also have to admit that it is better to be plundered than not even qualified to be plundered.

At least these countries, which also brought civilization and modernization to their world.

Therefore, although along the way, the scenery along the way is getting more and more backward, but occasionally you can still see the developed mines, newly built factories, and Egyptian workers who build roads under the guidance of Chinese technicians.

Of course, even such a scene gradually disappeared as Clark and others got farther and farther from Cairo.

Yes, Clark and the others are now on their way to find Hamna Tower.

For this adventure, Clark even had to lie to Aunt Molly, saying that something was wrong with his business in England, and he rushed back early.

In this way, he and Hermione and Neville, under the watchful eyes of Aunt Molly, boarded the plane back to England, and then transferred to the private plane Laura arranged for them at the airport halfway, and returned to Cairo. Laura and Lao Hu will be with them.

According to their guide, the voodoo sorcerer, Hamna Tower is located deep in the Sahara Desert.

To get there, the best way is to travel a distance along the Nile in the direction of Sudan, and then change camels and head towards the middle of the desert.

"Why change camels, don't we have off-road vehicles?"

At this time, Clark and others had already set off from Cairo, took a cruise ship for a few days, and had just arrived in Aswan, an important city in southern Egypt.

Once here, the voodoo wizards, who are natives of Egypt, went to the local market and helped them select more than two dozen camels.

Looking at these strange animals, Hermione asked curiously.

"Because animals are safer than machines, camels are much more reliable than cars in the desert."

Hu Jianjun answered Laura's doubts while tying the equipment and supplies that Laura had prepared in advance to the camel's back.

And Laura, who has rich adventure experience, explained to her in detail:

"The conditions in the desert are harsh and the climate is even more complex and changeable. Although there are already special desert off-road vehicles, we are preparing for a protracted battle this time.

In the desert, it is inconvenient to supply diesel fuel and replace parts, but it is not as safe and reliable as a camel. "

Everyone spent a day in Aswan to repair and did not stay for a long time. After confirming that the amount of food and water they could carry was enough for them to use for more than ten days, they set off on the road in the morning glow.

In the first two days after leaving, the three of Clark were still in high spirits. After all, in this group, only the three of them were the youngest, and it was the first time in their lives that they entered the desert, feeling both fresh and fun.

After a few days, however, the boredom, boredom, and exhaustion of the adventure came to mind.

The three of them sat on the back of the camel and looked at the unchanging yellow sand before them.

This made Hu Jianjun and Fatty Wang laugh at them for a while.

Their initial journey, led by voodoo wizards, followed the remnants of an ancient river course and headed southwest.

According to voodoo wizards, this is not really a desert.

Because this section of the ancient river existed before the river was diverted, the riverbed in some sections was not completely dry, and the surrounding sand was also very shallow, and scattered small lakes and wells could be seen from time to time along the way.

Around those lakes, there were occasionally some small animals, and Fatty Wang took this to show them his marksmanship, adding a bit of meat to their dinner.

Along this ancient channel, there are small oases with date palms, palm trees and some shrubs, and even wild grapes and berries.

After passing this ancient river, they even completely entered the desert.

It was also here that Clark and others knew why Hamnatha had never been discovered.

This is a large mobile desert, with strong winds blowing the dunes, and the landforms are the same every day. As far as the eye can see, there are no landform features, only the endless yellow sand.

And the camel team consisting of seven people and a dozen camels, in this vast desert, is even smaller than a grain of sand in this desert.

In this case, the so-called map becomes a piece of waste paper.

Fortunately, their guide, the voodoo wizard, was still here, and Hermione now fully understood why Clark had to use his means to force this guy to work for them.

In the desert, it was with this guy's voodoo magic and the feedback given to him by the spirit of nature that they could correctly judge whether they were walking in the right direction.

In this way, under the leadership of the voodoo wizards, they sat on camels and walked for four or five days. The speed visible to the naked eye starts to feel sleepy and tired.

Fortunately, their supplies were well prepared. Apart from Clark's magic pocket with spare water and food, the camels were enough for them to continue to survive in the desert for more than ten days.

"Hey, I said, how long until we get there?"

The desert is vast and boundless. If it weren't for the long footprints behind you, you wouldn't even feel that you were on your way.

Fatty Wang rode on the camel and asked the voodoo wizard who was leading the way in a slightly dissatisfied manner.

On this journey, the fatigue of the journey has long since wiped out his thoughts about Laura. If he hadn't thought about the $20,000 and the treasures that might exist in the ruins, he would have long since stopped moving.

Hearing his question, the voodoo wizard did not move, but turned his head back, looking at him coldly with a penetrating gaze.

Under the gaze of the other party, the impatient look on Fatty Wang's face instantly solidified, as if he was a frog being stared at by a poisonous snake.

"Cough, yes, we've been gone for a few days now. Why do you feel like you've been taking us around in circles recently?"

Clark's words relieved Fatty Wang.

The voodoo wizard thought for a while, closed his eyes again, and prayed around, before answering: "The Ancestral Spirit told me that it should be in this place."

Through the communication with the voodoo wizard, Clark already knew that his so-called "ancestral spirit" was the ghost left by the voodoo who sacrificed the living people in it after finding the Hamna Tower.

It is through this that they can lock the position of Hamna Tower in the vast desert.

It's just that after arriving here, the "ancestral spirit" positioning of the Voodoo wizard is not very good.

"What 'ancestral spirit' or 'ghost', pretend to be a ghost!" Because he was frightened by the eyes of the Voodoo wizard just now, Fatty Wang complained a little unconvinced.

"If you want me to say, things like assigning gold and fixing acupoints depend on the craftsmanship of our ancestors." He looked at Hu Jianjun, who was beside him. "Old Hu, show them a hand and let that Egyptian foreign devil open his eyes!"

Hu Jianjun glared at Fatty Wang angrily. Clark looked at him inquiringly, but he could only nod his head and took out a compass from his pocket.

Because it was night time, the bright moon in the sky at this time was picturesque and the stars were like a brocade, illuminating the earth with silver light.

Hu Jianjun rode a camel and stood at the highest point of the dune, lit a cigarette, began to watch the stars at night, and performed feng shui.

"How about it?"

Seeing that Hu Jianjun was silent for a long time, Clark asked curiously, and Laura and the others also looked at him together.

"Strange." Hu Jianjun took off the cigarette in his mouth, raised his head and exhaled a ring of smoke.

"What's weird?" Clark asked.

"Look, from our point of view, the Jumen star, Zuo auxiliary star, and Youbi star in the sky, three shining stars, are arranged in an equilateral triangle.

In the center, there is also lunar yin, dazzling and confusing, and the stars of the year and the stars are swaying. This is not a good sign. "

"Not a good sign?"

Clark looked along Hu Jianjun's fingers holding the cigarette, the smoke was lingering, and he saw that there were indeed three very bright stars among the stars in the three directions above their heads.

It's just that there are more things that he can't see.

"Then what does that mean? Can the exact location of Hamna Tower be identified?"

Laura knew a thing or two about astronomy, and followed his instructions to look at the night sky and asked at the same time.

Hu Jianjun took another puff of cigarette, took the compass, and began to determine the direction according to the stars in the sky.

"To be honest, there is no detailed introduction to this kind of star situation in the "Sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Art" that my family handed down. After all, it is a star phenomenon that can only be seen in foreign countries.

However, according to my inference, among the Nine Stars of the Big Dipper, Jumen is an unfortunate star, and Zuo Fuxing and Youbi are not sure good or bad.

The formation of Samsung in this way proves that here and now, there is a looming uproar, and it proves that this place will not be peaceful in the future. "

Hearing his words, Clark and Laura looked at each other.

Not quite? That's right!

Immorton's resentful spirit is buried here. Now that the seal is weakened, grievances are leaked, and it is normal to be unhappy.

And Hu Jianjun over there is still saying:

"The lunar star, which is the moon, is cold and dead in the horoscope.

Yinghuo, also known as Mars, dominates battles and changes in the astrology.

The two appear together. Although there is one yin and one yang, the yin and yang cannot be reconciled. Instead, the yin and yang will be opposed, the starlight will become unbalanced, and the auspicious qi will be deflected and lost.

As for Sui Xing and Zhen Xing, that is, Jupiter and Saturn we often say, although they are both lucky stars, both of them are in a precarious and bleak state at the moment.

This shows that the evil spirit here is rising to the sky, the balance of the seal is weakened, the anger subsides, and there will be…”

"What will there be?"

When Clark's voice came, Hu Jianjun looked at his compass and the constellations in the sky, and said word by word: "There will be a wave of evil and fierce zombies born, causing all living beings to be wiped out and bloody! "

As if to match his words, in the night sky that was still normal, suddenly a breeze blew across the dunes, rolling up strands of fine sand.

Although the temperature in the desert has dropped at night, it is still very sultry, and this breeze blowing through everyone's bodies brings a biting coolness.

They looked in the direction the wind was blowing, and through the starlight above their heads, they saw the distant sky, gradually turning into a dark yellow.

This is? got windy!
