Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 1181: Excavation Progress

Putting aside the Dark wizards and desperadoes who took advantage of the situation and created chaos, if Voldemort wanted to successfully cast that magic, he currently needed two things, namely, various magical creatures and human corpses and souls.

The way to obtain these two things was the same, which was, killing; Killing magical creatures and humans, and collecting their flesh, blood, and souls.

Among them, the most important was the soul.

As early as thousands of years ago, the despicable Herpo the Foul discovered while making Horcruxes that there was only one way to split the soul, and that was through murder.

Cruelly killing others would make one’s soul unstable, which could then be split using magic to create Horcruxes.

This spell could be used in reverse so that the soul of a person who had been brutally murdered could be separated from his body.

Given what Evan knew about Voldemort, he might collect these souls himself.

This was the crucial part. Splitting the soul also required powerful magic, which was difficult for others to achieve.

During the First Wizarding War, Voldemort had killed many people, mainly Muggles.

Just like Grindelwald once planned to use the Resurrection Stone to create an army of Inferi, an army composed of the dead had been regarded as a symbol of evil and invincibility since ancient times, and was the standard equipment of all Dark Lords…

In the cave that protected Slytherin’s Locket, there was an army of Inferi.

They were all people killed by Voldemort, and the number was at least thousands. Even Dumbledore couldn’t deal with them.

Since it had been done before, there would be no problem doing it again.

Voldemort would personally collect those souls, but flesh and blood were different. The demand for them was too great. The collected flesh and blood could be used to build Voldemort’s new body, and the surplus could also be sacrificed to the evil god to help him restore his strength. Anyway, Voldemort had a statue of an evil god in his possession.

Therefore, the more flesh and blood, the better!

It was impossible to complete this task by relying solely on the severely injured Death Eaters and the army that had not yet been formed. From Rawya’s description, Evan inferred that Voldemort intended to cooperate with the Dark forces around the world. He used the so-called reward as bait to let other Dark forces work hard for him to collect the flesh and blood.

This reward was absolutely very generous, making it impossible for Dark wizards and desperadoes to refuse.

Evan believed it was evil dark magic and great power, possibly even including the method of making Horcruxes and black magic to gain power.

Anyway, as long as he could become a god, these things would become useless to Voldemort.

This directly led to frequent attacks and murders in the past month, and the Wizarding world around the world was caught in the fear of Voldemort’s return.

No wonder other wizards, upon learning Evan was from Britain, were reluctant to talk further.

They were afraid that Voldemort would expand his influence over the entire world in this way.

Everyone was in danger, and this was just the beginning, the situation would get worse.

The thugs would soon find that it was easier to kill Muggles than to hunt dangerous magical creatures and wizards, and would turn to attacking Muggles…

Of course, Muggles wouldn’t understand the specific situation and they would think it was a natural disaster or an accident.

Just like not long ago, there were frequent hurricane disasters in various parts of Europe, a major earthquake in the Kansai region of Japan, a large-scale collapse accident in a shopping mall in South Korea, and small-scale wars in the Middle East — all these events that Muggles saw as disasters or human tragedies had the shadow of Dark wizards behind them.

These were just minor incidents. Evan suddenly became a little worried that Voldemort and the Death Eaters would control the head of a major country to start a world war. This was probably also what Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic were concerned about…

However, he could only worry.

In the current situation, Evan had no good solution and could only place his hopes on the Ministries of Magic of various countries.

This Wizarding war had escalated into a world-class war.

If possible, it would be a good idea for the International Confederation of Wizards to gather elite Aurors from various countries to form an army.

In any case, the main battlefield of the war was still in Britain, at Hogwarts.

If Voldemort wanted to conquer the world and integrate the Dark forces of other countries, he could not bypass Dumbledore and Hogwarts.

The key to solving the current troubles and defeating the evil god also lay in Hogwarts.

How to defeat Voldemort and maintain the current situation was what Dumbledore needed to consider.

Evan now needed to hurry up, collect the treasure keys of the Four Founders and find the secret treasure.

After understanding the current situation, Evan began to ask Rawya about the Ruins of Amun Ra.

She was now a Curse-Breaker at Gringotts and was also involved in the discovery of the entire ruins.

Not to mention, Rawya was previously the assistant of the goblin Zoser and had first-hand information about the ruins.

“I won’t go into details about the background of the Ruins of Amun Ra. You should know that the building is located in the center of Pi-Ramses City. It is a temple built by Ramses II and is the largest and most mysterious building he left behind,” said Rawya. “What I want to tell you is that it is very dangerous in there!”

She took out a building plan and spread it out in front of Evan.

This was a plan of the Ruins of Amun Ra, detailing the progress of the excavation.

“We have cleared the first hall of the ruins!” said Rawya, pointing to the largest area on the floor plan. “It is now called the Hall of the Gods. It is the antechamber of the entire Ruins of Amun Ra. As you can see, it is very large. All the ancient Egyptian gods known so far are enshrined in it, as well as various magic and curses…”

Evan looked at the densely written text on the blueprint, noting that there were over a hundred named deities.

All the ancient Egyptian gods he knew were listed there.

It was truly a grand undertaking. He had never heard of any temple that enshrined so many gods at the same time.

“There are many gods in the Hall of the Gods, but some of the most important ancient Egyptian deities are not among them,” Rawya continued, sliding her finger forward, “After a year of excavation, we found that these gods should supposedly be in the main hall deeper in the ruins. They include all the Ennead, as well as Horus, the guardian god of kingship, the god of the dead Anubis, and the most important, the God Amun. It is said that The Golden Book of Amun Ra is hidden in his temple.”

“Wait, why do you say ‘supposedly’?” Evan asked.

“Because the excavation is progressing slowly, we haven’t found all the main gods who were not in the Hall of the Gods,” said Rawya. “There are currently three main excavation routes in the relic. The first one continues from the Hall of the Gods; this is the main path of the entire relic, filled with valuable ancient artifacts and terrifying defensive magic, and it has the most people working on it. The second route enters directly from above the relic. The entire Ruins of Amun Ra has been buried under the sands for thousands of years, and the first explorers to discover it entered by breaking through part of the structure. This area is closest to the core, and Zoser’s excavation team was responsible for this section…”
