Although there were plans for the summer vacation, it was already a month later when the Lannister family left for Egypt because they needed approval from the Ministry of Magic if they wanted to take away the door keys.

This is much more difficult than a simple exit application, because portkeys are strictly controlled, and if you want to rely on portkeys to leave the country, you must communicate with the other party's Ministry of Magic in advance, which is bound to be a long process.

Fortunately, they successfully applied for the portkey without any setbacks, and reached the city through the Floo Network and the portkey.

The green flame suddenly sprang up and then gradually extinguished. Noah walked out of the fireplace with his parents, and when he looked up, he saw an acquaintance.

With black hair and green eyes, he turned out to be Li Xize, who was supposed to be in the United States.

He opened his hands and smiled at Noah: "Surprise?"

"Probably just surprised." Noah hugged him, "Aren't you an Auror in the United States?"

Why does it appear here again?

"Magical Congress has stabilized, so I naturally resigned." Li Xize shrugged, "I don't like to be an Auror."

He prefers to stay in Muggle society, because Muggles obviously have a richer life.

"Good day, Mr. Lannister, Mrs. Lannister." Li Xize greeted the Lannister couple. The familiar attitude of the three of them could be seen. They and Li Xize had already discussed this for Noah. One out.

Several people walked to the hotel they had booked in advance. During the conversation, Noah learned that the idea of ​​traveling to Egypt was proposed by Li Xize. The Lannister couple had been worrying about where to take Noah, and they had planned to come recently. Li Xize, who was exploring Egypt, simply suggested coming here, since this is a famous tourist attraction anyway.

The hotel they stayed in was a large hotel. Although there would be no Muggles here, in order to better accommodate tourists, the city was rebuilt into the appearance of high-rise buildings, but it still retained the characteristics of wizards and was not at all like It's a modern Muggle city.

These tall buildings are piled up with fragile-looking stone bricks, but they are reinforced by magic to keep them tall. The street lights on the streets are also special gems with some kind of luminous spell. At night, they It will be the city's light source that stays up all night. The streets are clean and reveal a simple Egyptian style, and people of all races coming and going are wearing different clothes.

And if you look up at the sky, you will see the flowing yellow sand spreading like a galaxy to form a large upside-down bowl that covers the entire city, but cleverly does not block the light. Although the temperature of the sun is lowered, the visibility is reduced. But it had no impact.

This is Madinet, the "Gem of Sand" in the desert, the magical capital of Egypt.

Noah looked at the sand bricks paved under his feet. Both the city's buildings and the ground were sand-colored. In particular, the sand bricks had a faint golden color, which was somewhat similar to the luxurious legends of Egypt.

Several people entered the hotel. A goblin in a waiter's costume was standing on a low stool, flipping through a book. He looked up when he heard the sound of the door being pushed. He glanced at the four people and quickly recognized them. revealed their identities.

"Mr. Lannister?" He spoke fluent English, hooked his long fingers, and two keys flew down from the key storage room on the wall and landed on the table in front of him, "Your room has been When you're ready, please go upstairs."

Cooper nodded, picked up the key and walked to the elevator. Another goblin was waiting and pressed the floor for them without asking.

Cooper booked a family suite, while Li Xize, who came early, booked a single room by himself. Since the interior of the wizards' rooms can be modified at will, they stayed in the same room even if the room types were different because they were traveling together. Room on the same floor.

The goblin led them to the room, opened the door with the key and asked them if there was anything else that needed to be modified. They could modify the furnishings in the room according to the customer's preferences to ensure that the customer could have fun.

Naturally, this was left to Christina, and within five minutes, their hotel suite was styled a bit like home furnishings.

Christina was very satisfied with this, and Cooper took this opportunity to hand Noah over to Lisizer and asked him to take Noah around the city first.

Li Xize nodded and set off with Noah.

"I've been here once before," he told Noah about the situation here as he walked. "At that time, treasure hunting was still popular. There were no people in the city during the day, but it was quite lively at night."

"Treasure?" Noah blinked, obviously very curious about this.

Li Xize also pretended to be telling him stories: "There have always been many rumors here. No one can tell what kind of treasure it is. Some people say it is the treasure of a pharaoh, some say it is a powerful magic item, and Some say it is ancient magical knowledge, but most of them just come in the name of the treasure." They are basically here to try their luck.

"But there are indeed many ancient tombs hidden here, and nearly a hundred of them have been excavated so far."

Noah: "?" What is this, a group of tombs? ? ?

"But these tombs are not worth paying attention to. Now they have been developed into tourist attractions. The curses and other mechanisms inside have been cleaned up. We can go and take a look at any time."

Noah tilted his head and thought for a while: "Is it the same as the legendary Pharaoh's tomb?"

According to legend, the Pharaohs of Egypt were very powerful wizards, or the entire ancient Egypt seemed to be controlled by wizards at that time.

"There are a few," Li Xize knew these very well, "but it is said that the tomb of the strongest pharaoh is hidden in the pyramid at our feet and has not been discovered yet."

Noah was stunned: "The most powerful Pharaoh?"

It is not a secret that there is an upside-down pyramid under the city of Madinite, nor is it a secret that there is a pharaoh's tomb inside. However, what Noah did not expect was that the tomb of the owner of the pyramid has not been discovered yet.

"Well, it is the place where the greatest pharaoh of ancient Egypt, Ramses II, sleeps. Legend has it that this pharaoh was favored by the God of Death and had the power to control death. He could destroy an entire army in the yellow sand with one person. Down."

Therefore, there are many treasure hunters for this Pharaoh's tomb. Most wizards believe that this Pharaoh has a powerful magic item comparable to the British Deathly Hallows. No matter how bad it is, it may be some kind of powerful magic. , anyway, this Pharaoh’s treasure is definitely extremely attractive.

Noah nodded thoughtfully to show that he knew, and had no more curiosity.

As for why...just kidding, no one has been able to find it for so many years. How did a twelve-year-old wizard get the confidence to find it? Even if there is a time traveler plug-in, it may not be possible.
