Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

Within these historical ruins, one can often discover valuable items.

These include, but are not limited to, a vast number of antique relics, ancient documents, magical materials, and even some lost spells and ancient alchemical tools.

Even ordinary antiques are worth a fortune in the wizarding world, let alone items and materials with magical effects.

Therefore, this attracts a large number of foreign adventurers to hunt for treasure, using archaeology as a pretext while employing methods of tomb robbery.

Until a little over a century ago, when these tomb robbers were exploring a certain underground pyramid, they triggered a terrifying plague curse within the ruins, which eventually spread to the outside world.

This curse caused a large-scale epidemic in Egyptian Muggle society, resulting in the deaths of many innocent Muggles and a small number of wizards.

Such a terrible event immediately attracted the attention of the Egyptian Ministry of Magic, which specifically issued the 'Law on the Protection and Development of Ancient Tombs and Ruins,' severely cracking down on tomb robbery and illegal excavation.

Only authorized formal institutions or groups are allowed to carry out development, and small groups or individuals are strictly prohibited from acting without authorization.

Therefore, the current ancient ruins are basically jointly developed by the Egyptian Alchemical Research Center and other institutions, the most famous of which is naturally Gringotts.

These goblins are rich and powerful, recruiting a large number of excellent curse-breakers to excavate, and the treasures and precious materials they have obtained are countless.

Where there are rules, there will naturally be people who try to challenge them.

Although official institutions have explicitly prohibited it, tomb robbery is still repeatedly prohibited, and Egypt is originally a large trading country with a large floating population, so many people will take the risk of trying to get rich through tomb robbery.

At this time, there are many vendors selling similar items in the black market, and the stall owners confidently guarantee that the antiques, relics, or materials in their hands are genuine.

To this end, Anduin even curiously went up to observe for a moment, but was soon disappointed, most of the things in the hands of these wizards were fakes.

For example, a wizard shouted loudly that what he had in his hand was a precious material just obtained from an unnamed pyramid, which recorded a part of a lost spell.

The scroll displayed by the other party did look full of age, and the text written on it also showed some peeling, and the text was ancient runes that most wizards could not understand.

However, this seemingly age-old material was full of flaws in the eyes of an expert like him.

The material used for the scroll was clearly 'Terbo Warthog' skin that had been specially treated, and he was very familiar with this magical animal as his regular ingredient.

In addition, the content written in ancient runes on the scroll page was also nonsense, which was obviously a fake antique that had been specially aged.

And even such garbage fakes were still of good quality among the vendors' goods.

Even after the wizard stall owner shouted for a while, someone actually spent 10 Galleons to buy the fake scroll, which made Anduin feel speechless for a while.

However, even if these people were selling fakes, he had no intention of stepping forward to expose them.

After all, it was none of his business, and he didn't want to cause trouble, he still remembered the purpose of his visit to the black market this time.

Following the tracker identifier recording the Sphinx, Anduin moved to the edge of the temple, where there was actually a two-story bar, and the Sphinx's location was now inside.

Anduin walked in without hesitation, he didn't know how long the Sphinx would stay in the black market, he didn't want to waste this opportunity.

This bar is the only building in the entire black market, and its interior is quite luxurious, at least much better than the Leaky Cauldron in England.

At this time, a phonograph was placed in the conspicuous position in the center of the bar, playing melodious music, and some lighting magic lamps and atmosphere lamps were also arranged around it.

Anduin didn't expect his products to be so widely distributed, even in the black market.

At this time, the bar was crowded with people, and occasionally some foreigners could be seen, it seems that the Alchemy Conference also helps the business here.

The area of the bar is not small, Anduin shuttled through the crowd, carefully looking for the trace of the Sphinx, but after he circled around, he still couldn't see the Sphinx's figure.

However, during this period, Anduin had an unexpected gain.

"Martin Grenville? Why is this tavern owner here?" Anduin frowned slightly as he looked at Martin who appeared in the corner of the bar.

Although Thunderbird said that this guy had left the Order of the Holy, Anduin was not completely at ease with this person.

In his eyes, he was still a dangerous person and an uncertain factor, so when he returned to the hotel today, he had been sneaking around, and didn't dare to let him see him.

At this time, Martin shrank in the corner of the bar, casually ordered a drink, and then sat silently, but Anduin could detect that the other party would take the time to look around, seemingly guarding against something.

Before long, Martin got up from his seat, and then walked towards the stairs next to him as if nothing had happened.

Anduin didn't know what was on the second floor of this bar, but there were guarded guards at the entrance of the stairs, so he couldn't break in without authorization.

He had previously guessed that the Sphinx was on this floor, so he deployed a monitoring spider at the door, which was slowly climbing up.

After Martin came to the entrance of the stairs, he showed something to the guard and was let go.

Seeing this, Anduin naturally controlled the monitoring spider to quickly follow, whether it was to find the Sphinx or to find out the secrets of this Martin, it was very meaningful to Anduin.

After controlling the monitoring spider to climb up to the second floor of the bar with Martin, the scene upstairs suddenly became clear.

The entire second floor was separated into small rooms, which were similar to KTV boxes.

After Martin came to the second floor, he went straight to knock on the door of a box.

"Who is it?"

After Martin knocked on the door, a vigilant question immediately came from the room.

"It's me."

Martin's voice was still cold and he responded lightly.

Then the door was opened, and Anduin also saw the figure in the box through the monitoring spider, it was the Sphinx he had been tracking.

Sebastian let Martin into the room after confirming that he was alone, and Anduin would naturally not give up this good opportunity, and then controlled the monitoring spider to follow in.

Fortunately, the bar was luxuriously decorated, and the ground was covered with carpets, and the complex patterns also provided excellent cover for the monitoring spider, allowing it to calmly follow in.

"Why did you contact me suddenly? Didn't you say that Thunderbird is in Egypt, it's a bit too careless to meet at this time."

Martin complained to Sebastian with some dissatisfaction.

And Anduin, who also heard these words, suddenly showed an interested expression.

This is interesting, this Martin actually knows Thunderbird, that is to say, he at least has a certain understanding of the current Silver Spear, then his relationship with Sebastian is a bit unusual, definitely not just the familiar friends that Thunderbird said.

At this time, Sebastian was still dressed as a researcher, and replied quite easily, "Thunderbird should have completed his mission, and may have left Egypt by now, and I know him, with his arrogant personality, he won't even bother with me."

"Is that so?" Martin curled his lips in disdain, "Then why didn't he just ignore me when he wanted to kill me before."

"Didn't he not do it in the end, I won't let him mess around." Sebastian comforted in a gentle tone.

"Heh, is this the first day you met that madman, I think you should be careful yourself, maybe one day he will attack you when he gets nervous, after all, their ideas are different from yours."

Martin curled his lips full of resentment, and then frowned and asked, "Why did Thunderbird suddenly appear in Egypt, didn't you say that he has been responsible for the affairs in England?"

"He is here to resolve personal grievances." Sebastian said this and specifically glanced at the other party, "His target is an English wizard named Anduin, who seems to be living in your tavern, do you have any impression?"

"English wizard? Anduin?" Martin thought for a moment and immediately nodded, "It's the young wizard who raises dogs, I haven't seen him for two days."

"I think you will never see this young man again." Sebastian shook his head with some helplessness, "Thunderbird has a lot of resentment towards this young man, and seems to hate him to the bone, probably related to his failure in England, this time the club's British strategy can be said to be a heavy loss, and Thunderbird is also very secretive about this experience, and is unwilling to reveal it at all."

"Is that so? That young man looks quite gentlemanly and is very polite, I didn't expect him to be killed by Thunderbird like this, he seems to be even more crazy than before, it seems you are right, Silver Spear is really harmful."

"I told you long ago that the current Silver Spear is no longer the Silver Spear of the Order of the Holy, and I can feel that the current club is becoming more and more morbid, and is causing more and more trouble, and former comrades are now becoming more and more indifferent."

"Sigh..." Sebastian said this and glanced at Martin again, "Are you really unwilling to consider it again, join Silver Spear to help me, we need your strength, 'Rune Snake' is now becoming more and more greedy, he seems to have begun to covet the taste of power in addition to eternal life."

"Hmph, I don't want to become a ghost, I'd better be my tavern owner honestly, I'm already satisfied if I can live a peaceful life." Martin still firmly shook his head, and also persuaded Sebastian, "Since your heart is no longer in the club, why don't you break away?"
