Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 1179: The Influence of Voldemort



The so-called time distortion was specifically reflected in the lost ruins hall as the chaos of time.

This situation meant that there must be a powerful time magic item in the hall.

However, the condition of this time magic item was very bad and it was very likely to have been damaged, which was why it caused the time chaos in the hall.

Rushing in rashly, you would be affected by the chaotic flow of time and enter a time journey with no end.

Last time, in the Time Room of the Ministry of Magic, Evan destroyed the time magic item in order to obtain the Time-Turner, which caused time chaos within a certain range. During the few minutes he disappeared, he was taken to the future eighteen years later. But other wizards didn’t have a Time-Turner, or the Time-Turners they had were not as powerful as Evan’s. If they were taken to the past or the future by the chaotic time flow, they might never come back.

Or worse, like what happened in the Ruins of Amun Ra, just outright death…

It was said that three months ago, an excavation team of twenty people entered the hall for the first time.

This excavation team, mainly composed of Gringotts goblins, discovered a secret passage leading to the hall under a statue. In order to enter it, they spent nearly a year and countless efforts. They originally thought that they would see countless treasures or priceless ancient Egyptian magic relics, but there was no sign. The first three wizards and five goblins who entered the hall were affected by the magic of time. They reached the end of their lives in the blink of an eye, died, rotted, and finally turned into dust.

The remaining people fled back in terror, and only then did the incident become known to the outside world.

Initially, both the Egyptian Ministry of Magic and Gringotts thought it was a powerful curse.

Although it was troublesome, the Egyptian wizards and goblins were very experienced in dealing with such curses. They speculated whether the Golden Book of Amun Ra was in that hall. But after studying the scene, people found that there was actually a time chaos in the hall, which was almost impossible to break compared to curses.

As the most mysterious field of magic, time magic was rarely studied by wizards and the overall research level was also very low.

For centuries, wizards had used Time-Turners left by ancient sorcerers to manipulate time.

Most of the Time-Turners known in the world were kept in the Time Room of the Department of Mysteries of the British Ministry of Magic. Now, due to the battle between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters, they had all been destroyed and there was no way to remake them.

This was why, eighteen years later, even the Ministry of Magic couldn’t find a complete Time-Turner!

After discovering the specific situation in the time-chaotic hall, all the wizards and goblins involved in the excavation gave up!

That hall became a restricted area and no excavation team dared to approach it.

It was to consider that, faced with such a situation, generally they could only wait until an unknown period of time for the magic items in the hall to damage themselves and lose their function. No one knew how long this time would be, it could be a day or a hundred years, anything was possible.

Anyway, no one dared to enter the hall before the thing was completely damaged, and no one wanted to die.

Moreover, in later excavations, it was discovered that the hall was not located in the core of the Ruins of Amun Ra.

In other words, the magic book that wizards most desired and the treasures that goblins most desired were not there.

In this case, no one wanted to get close to that area!

These things were not secrets, and they had been made public along with the progress of the excavation.

But Evan still needed to know more. Although he had the most powerful Time-Turner in theory, he actually knew very little about time magic, not to mention the time magic left over from ancient Egypt…

He had originally planned to talk to other people at the Explorer Hotel who came to attend the International Alchemical Conference to see if they had more information. By the way, it would also be good to get to know more wizards from other countries and broaden his horizons.

If he encountered reliable ones, they could join forces against Voldemort and the evil god…

The Order of the Phoenix had been working on this. Since Voldemort’s return, recruiting members had become the most important task.

Ron’s second brother, Charlie Weasley, stayed in Romania to make connections with more foreign wizards for the Order of the Phoenix.

Bill had been doing the same in Egypt, recruiting willing Egyptian and African wizards to join the Order of the Phoenix.

But contrary to Evan’s expectations, the wizards staying in the Explorer Hotel did not seem as friendly and enthusiastic as he had imagined.

Everyone seemed nervous, in a hurry, and unwilling to talk.

Over the next few days, whenever Evan approached, they subconsciously moved away from him.

Evan was a little puzzled at first, but finally, he learned from Rawya who came to visit him that this was mainly because of Voldemort. Evan’s identity as a British wizard was also very sensitive. Those wizards were all afraid of Voldemort, and this fear had reached an unimaginable degree.

So, after knowing that Evan was from Britain, they were reluctant to communicate too much.

If those wizards knew what he had done, they would have fled in fear rather than just avoiding a simple conversation!

This was a bit beyond Evan’s imagination. He had originally thought that Voldemort’s influence was only in Britain.

Unexpectedly, in other areas, Voldemort’s notoriety did not seem to diminish at all.

“It’s mainly because all the attacks that have occurred in the past month or so were done by You-Know-Who,” said Rawya. “Everyone is scared!”

She had now graduated from the Karnak School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Egypt and had become an official Gringotts Curse Breaker.

Moreover, she had also joined the Order of the Phoenix.

Over the past year, Evan, Hermione, and Rawya had kept in touch and maintained a good relationship.

When he cracked Umbridge’s blood-sucking quill, Evan had asked Rawya to help him find and purchase similar witchcraft items.

Later, Rawya also asked Evan to help her buy some magic materials unique to Britain.

In any case, she was on Evan’s side, which was why Evan came to Egypt alone this time.

Sirius originally planned to come along, but with Rawya there, no one else was needed.

Rawya hadn’t changed much over the year they hadn’t seen each other, though she did have a few more magical accessories.

In addition to the necklace around her neck which was made of the bones of some unknown creature and which obviously had a strong magical reaction, she wore a bracelet on her wrist with a shrunken wooden doll hanging below, a small knife in a leather sheath, and a wand hanging around her waist, and a dark green ring on her left pinky.

These were all magic items used to cast witchcraft, and Evan could feel the special magic power on her.

He was very interested in these things, but what Rawya said obviously concerned Evan more.

“You mean the attacks related to Voldemort that have occurred over the past month?” he asked in surprise. “What on earth is going on?”
