Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God
Vol 5 Chapter 20: Sirius, the power of nature
"It's the trade wind, the trade wind is coming!"
When the voodoo wizard saw the dark yellow curtain in the distance, even if he was already immortal, he couldn't help but raise his tone.
When Hu Jianjun and Fatty Wang heard his words, their expressions changed greatly, and they instantly remembered the terrifying "black storm" they encountered in the desert in order to find the legendary ancient city when they were young. .
"Run! Run!"
Fatty Wang shook the camel's reins vigorously, trying to urge them to find a safe place quickly, but when he turned around, he found that Hu Jianjun was riding on the camel and didn't move.
"Old Hu, what are you doing? Hurry up, we'll all be buried in this desert if we run late."
"It's useless," Hu Jianjun said in a dry voice, "Didn't you notice that, unlike the last time, we came all the way, but there were no ancient city ruins that could shelter from the wind."
"Then stand here and wait to die?" Fatty Wang shouted, wanting to run first.
At this time, Clark asked Hu Jianjun very calmly: "Mr. Hu, you haven't said yet, how can we determine the position of Hamna Tower in this astrology?"
His calm voice seemed to have a peculiar magic, which made Hu Jianjun, who was a little overwhelmed, gradually calm down his fear, and said involuntarily:
"The time has not yet come, and the evil spirit here is still brewing, so it is still uncertain for the time being, but before I came, I also deliberately checked the information related to ancient Egyptian astrology.
In these materials, I found that the ancient Egyptians had an extraordinary worship of Sirius, a star that had a very important and sacred position in ancient Egypt..."
"Oh, what are the Sirius and the dog lickers, is it time to talk about astrology and feng shui?"
Fatty Wang seemed to know that Hu Jianjun was right just now, that he and the others might not be able to survive the storm.
However, everyone ignored him. When Laura heard Hu Jianjun's words, she remembered some historical materials related to ancient Egypt that she had read, so she explained:
"The reason why the ancient Egyptians worshipped Sirius is because every year around the summer solstice, that is, in late June, Sirius will appear on the eastern horizon before sunrise, and this time is also the beginning of the flood season of the Nile. .
Because the flooding of this Egyptian mother river brought the people of ancient Egypt the fertile soil needed for subsequent farming and the subsequent great harvest, in ancient Egypt, Sirius was regarded as a "lucky star" again.
Not only that, Isis, the most important goddess in ancient Egypt at that time, was also regarded as the incarnation of Sirius, because she brought rich products, so Isis was also particularly worshipped by the ancient Egyptians and was regarded as the incarnation of Sirius. for the great goddess.
All in all, in ancient Egyptian mythology, Sirius appeared before the sun rose, which is the beginning of "good days" and "new hope".
In other words, Sirius can also be regarded as the messenger or herald of the sun god.
Because of these peculiar symbolic meanings, in the ancient Egyptian calendar, the day when Sirius and the sun rise together in the morning and the water level of the Nile River rises as New Year's Day - that is, a new beginning. "
Hearing Laura's words, Clark suddenly remembered Sirius in the original book of "Harry Potter", the godfather of Harry Potter, Blake.
If understood in terms of this kind of astrology in ancient Egypt, as the godson of Sirius, Harry Potter seems to be alluding to the God of the Sun.
And this reference is consistent with him being the "new hope" of the human world and the "savior" of the new era.
Clark suddenly felt as if he had discovered something remarkable, if it wasn't just a coincidence...
No, in the occult, there is never any so-called coincidence, even a little metaphor may be a gift of fate.
Under the inspiration of spirituality, Clark's mind surged like a tide, and he began to think more deeply, but Hu Jianjun was reminded by Laura's words.
"Yes! It may be the Sirius, if it is compared with China's Morning Star...
It is dawn, it is dawn, and at dawn, the direction that Sirius points to is the direction of Hamna Tower. "
Hu Jianjun said happily, but Fatty Wang cursed loudly, "Fuck, whoever is still in the mood to find those Raoshizi Ham and Tam, let's survive first!"
Just as they were talking, it was clear enough to see the starry sky just now, as if it had dimmed in an instant.
The wind came too fast, and more and more fine sand was swept into the air by the wind. The camel team was shrouded in overwhelming sand and dust, and the visibility was getting lower and lower at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this time, Fatty Wang was still pulling the reins on the camel.
Perhaps it was because these big beasts also felt the danger signals from the sky, and they all seemed to be going crazy.
But even though they were so irritable that they scratched their hooves, they just stood there and didn't run away.
"Are all these beasts scared and stupid?" Fatty Wang complained, turning over and getting off the camel.
At this time, Clark suddenly instructed: "Everyone first remove the supplies on the camels and pile them in the middle, so that the camels will not run away with the supplies in a while."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Neville was the first to act, followed by the voodoo wizard and Laura.
But Fatty Wang stared at him with wide eyes, "Move down? Are we not running?"
"Can't run," Clark shook his head and helped Hermione unload water and food. "Besides, we have to wait until dawn to determine the position of Sirius."
"No, when is this? Just stay here, we all have to die!"
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."
However, Fatty Wang didn't seem to believe much in Clark's words, so he turned around and encouraged Hu Jianjun to run with him.
At this time, the wind was getting more and more fierce, and the sand was raging.
Clark and the others had already piled up the supplies on the camels, and then they led the dozen or so camels and formed a circle around the supplies.
These big guys also seemed to be frightened, and they didn't even know they ran away. They lined up in a circle, squatted on the ground, and buried their heads in the sand, following Clark's instructions.
Clark and the others have seen many camel bones along the way. When they died, they all kept this posture, as if the sinners were being punished.
"This is what you said, relying on a circle of camels?"
Looking at Clark's response, Fatty Wang shouted almost hoarsely against the strong wind.
It's not that he can't see Clark's method, but he uses camels to form a circle to form a barrier to resist the wind and sand.
But in his opinion, this child obviously underestimated the power of nature.
In this case, let alone a dozen camels, even a boulder weighing several tons would have to be blown into the sky by the storm.
"Dead, dead, this time I'm really going to be killed by you little bastard!" Suddenly reaching a dead end, Fatty Wang also felt very desperate.
He looked up, and the strong wind rushed into his mouth with sand.
Through the dim moonlight in the sky, you can vaguely see that a yellow torrent is forming in the horizon, and the yellow sand on the ground is rolling like a magnificent wave.
Although the "waves" are still a little far away from them, looking at this trend, the next storm must have enough power to bring hundreds of thousands of tons of sand to them.
"Don't just say it, think of a way! Relying on these camels, it's definitely not possible to go on like this, show your ability, or do you want to kill us all?"
Laura roared in the face of the strong wind. She watched the huge sand waves gradually forming in the sky, and the sand and dust in front of her rose up into the sky, reaching a thousand-meter altitude.
A gray-yellow world seemed to be slowly drawing up a curtain, and the camel team they were in was just a small decoration under this curtain.
In front of this mighty power, she was as bold as her, and her hands and feet began to tremble uncontrollably.
Hu Jianjun pulled the camel's reins tightly to prevent himself from being blown away by the strong wind, and yelled at Clark at the same time:
"Yeah, think of a way! You must have been prepared to bring us here, right?"
In fact, when he said this, he no longer had any hope in his heart. After all, in this case, even if the King of Heaven came, he had to kneel down obediently.
That's right, Clark is really powerless at this time. As a [Psion], his psionic power has no ability to fight against this natural disaster.
However, that doesn't mean he can't do anything about it.
"Go ahead, Hermione!"
What? !
In the howling wind, Laura and Fatty Wang heard his words vaguely.
The next moment, they saw that the little girl who had been following Clark, facing the strong wind, straightened her waist, and slowly walked to the center of the camel circle, next to the pile of supplies.
The gust of wind that swept away blew away those things that were not firmly placed, and everyone could only stabilize their center of gravity by lowering their bodies.
On the other hand, Hermione was standing in the gust of wind and took out a large book with a hard cover from her arms.
Braving the strong wind, she opened the title page of the book and began to softly recite a mysterious incantation.
"What is this doing?"
Fatty Wang and Hu Jianjun both stared at her, wondering what this little girl was doing.
Laura also stared at Hermione with wide eyes, but her eyes were full of inquiry and curiosity.
Under the gazes of everyone, in the wind and sand, Hermione's clear voice, high and low intonation, mixed with the "huhu" and howling wind sound, like a magnificent symphony.
Along with the climax of Hermione's singing, a handful of crystal stone powder also swayed out of her hand.
The fine powder was in the sand and disappeared soon.
Then, everyone was surprised to find that the wind around them seemed to have weakened!
At first, the change was not that noticeable.
But soon, when they looked up to the sky, they found that a little bit above their heads, an invisible decomposition line could be clearly seen.
Inside the demarcation line, is the place where the wind and sand gradually subside.
Outside the dividing line, there is still a frightening dust storm.
The storm with yellow sand was like an angry dragon and python, coiling around their humble camp.
The storm was so violent that it almost sucked away the nearby sand dunes, but it didn't even reach the square inch beneath their feet.
Gradually, the space around them became eerily calm.
If someone looked at it from a distance at this time, they would find that the seven of them, together with their supplies and camels, seemed to be enveloped by an invisible glass bowl.
Hermione had stopped chanting at this point. She closed the magic book and nodded to them with a smile. Clark on the side also said to everyone: "Okay! Now we are safe!"
They are indeed safe.
Just a few steps away from them, the wind sounded like a devil's screeching, occasionally bringing out a crackling sound like a long whip.
The dense grains of sand carry astonishing energy in the storm, like bullets unloaded.
It may be able to draw **** wounds on people's bodies, obliterate all existence in the desert, grind rocks into gravel, and pluck living people into bones.
But in front of their eyes, they could only bypass it very smoothly and let out a helpless sigh.
Even in such a nightmarish environment, they still stood unharmed on the soft sand.
Even though the storm blocked the bright moon in the sky, there was still a faint white light in this small semi-circular space, illuminating them.
Hu Jianjun looked at the invisible 'wall' in front of him, but stopped the storm and sand, and said incredulously: "Is this... magic?"
Clark looked indifferent, even in the mood to take out a bottle of mineral water, unscrew the cap, and rinse his mouth.
"he~~tui!"
"Of course it's magic, or what do you think it is, God bless? This is Egypt. If you want to pray, you should also pray to the Egyptian gods."
Clark made a joke, but what he said was right, what Hermione cast was indeed a 3rd-level evocation spell of the [Mage] profession—[Leomon Hut].
As you can tell from the name, this is a force field spell invented by an arcanist named Leo Meng, which is specially designed for mages to rest comfortably when they are adventuring in the wild.
As early as the beginning of the summer vacation, Hermione had been reminded by Clark to upgrade the [Mage] profession to level 5, unlocking the ability to use 3rd-level spells.
As for the spell-casting materials, when the wealthy Laura said she was in charge of preparing all the supplies, Clark rudely reported all the spell-casting materials that might be used.
Now it seems that his precautions have not been in vain.
At least in the eyes of Laura and the others, they were enough to survive this dust storm.
