Chapter 3 Current Situation, Landing Place

The reason why Clark chose to come to Egypt was just to get a glimpse of the secrets of the ancient gods.

When he resurrected Tom Riddle in Slytherin's secret room, he sensed a little bit of special fluctuation coming from here through the godhead fragment of the God of Knowledge.

It was precisely because of this little fluctuation and the name of God Thoth that he suddenly had the idea of ​​coming to Egypt.

It's hard to say whether his sudden thought came about spontaneously, or it was passively added due to the influence of some higher-level power.

But no matter how this idea came about, when Clark was driving through the congested roads in the center of Cairo in an old magic van, his comprehension was not in vain.

Ever since he obtained the godhead fragment of Oghma, the god of knowledge, even if Clark himself didn't admit it, he already regarded himself as a person destined to become a god in his heart.

After all, time travel, godhead fragments, gold fingers, and systems, these things appeared on his body, even if he didn't say it, he didn't respond to his external behavior, and he felt an invisible sense of superiority in his heart.

Just like what many netizens said in the previous life, "If you give me the ability of the people of the motherland, then I will be the ancestors."

Similarly, Clark's ability to maintain this modest and prudent state is already considered to be his extraordinary control.

However, when he came to Cairo, the thousand-year-old capital, and saw the decline of the place where the gods watched, he suddenly discovered it.

As the wheel of history rolls forward, it crushes ignorance, loads with freedom, and at the same time leaves the gods far behind.

Perhaps the historical records themselves are wrong. Those ancient gods did not disappear in the long river of history, but their speed could not keep up with the development of human civilization, so they were left behind in the long river of time.

And when thinking of these, Clark's heart was also full of confusion.

Now that the old gods have been eliminated miserably, how will he face this world if he raises the throne of god to the sky in the future?

In his ears, the playful laughter of the Weasley family seemed to fall into another dimension, gradually drifting away from him.

In front of my eyes, the noisy scene in the center of Cairo is also gradually shrinking.

As if suddenly, his soul came out of his body, and he looked down on the people living in the land under his feet at a higher level.

Here, the wealthy plutocrats spend their days and nights,

Enjoy delicious food from all over the world and the most comfortable living environment.

Further down, the middle class with good families opened their homes and ran characteristic B&B hotels. Tenants in the capitalist society came and went, and the rent for one night was enough to cover their family's monthly expenses.

The middle class with poorer backgrounds spent more than half of their wealth to buy a car and become a taxi driver. They flock to tourists as soon as they see them, and they are really not afraid of being disgusted by others.

Even if you can only get one business a day, it is better than being unable to uncover the pot at home.

And the most pitiful are those poor people who have no family at all.

But even if they are so poor that they can only eat and wait to die under the scorching sun, under the oppression of survival, they have a crooked mind, cheating and abducting everything, in order to be able to continue to live.

Maybe the people in this land are richer and poorer; maybe they are full of oppression, exploitation and violence.

They still have the desire and the right to live.

And all of this reminded him that even such a poor African country cannot be saved by relying on a so-called god.

And when a god separates himself from the masses, he is at war with the world.

The dilapidated magic van finally passed through the bustling city with chaotic traffic. They passed the towering Cairo Tower, the sacred and solemn mosque, and the elegant and atmospheric opera house along the way.

The Weasley family was immersed in this novel and exotic scene, and no one noticed Clark who was silent.

The van crossed the bridge over the Nile, and the majestic pyramids finally appeared in front of their eyes.

"Mom, look, the pyramid!"

Ron's yelling finally woke Clark up from his contemplation. Although his train of thought was interrupted, he was successfully rescued from the corner of his head.

Looking at the majestic building full of magic not far away, Clark smiled.

He was also dazed, he was only a level 7 psion now, what would he do with the path after becoming a god.

Yes, thanks to the pile of experience gained at the end of his sophomore year, Clark had advanced a grade before coming to Egypt.

Because seven is not a multiple of two and three, apart from gaining two fourth-level abilities and some skill points for this upgrade, Clark's attribute panel has not changed much.

Therefore, if you are poor, you will benefit yourself alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world.

Even if there is a problem with the ancient god's path, it will not prevent him from carrying out "archaeological" activities this time. After all, just leaking a little bit from the fingers of those ancient existences is enough to increase their strength by a large margin.

After figuring this out, Clark immediately felt a lot easier.

At this time, the van had already left the city center, and they gradually moved away from the noisy streets and began to approach the pyramid scenic spot.

The surrounding environment became monotonous. At the beginning, they could still see some sparse bushes and shrubs. Afterwards, the car drove to a vast desert.

The three pyramids in the distance are fully magnified in their eyes, and the Sphinx next to the pyramids stands on the golden desert like that. Even after thousands of years and its appearance is incomplete, it still guards here.

"After we settle down, we will have the opportunity to visit the pyramid!"

Bill shouted happily in front of him. Obviously, he was very happy to see his long-lost relatives.

They walked for a distance on the edge of the desert in this way, and finally stopped in front of a chic small building with a pointed dome and a strong exotic style.

"Here we are!"

Bill jumped out of the car first, and everyone came to him one after another.

The weather was really too hot, the sun was hot overhead, shining straight down, there was neither a cloud nor a little wind.

Everyone hurried towards the small building, and at this moment, Mahmud greeted them at the same time as Bill.

"Bill, I'll return the car first, uncles and aunts, I hope you have a good time." After speaking, he drove away in the magic van.

Bill took his family into this unique small building, and as soon as he stepped through the gate, his eyes suddenly opened up.

Unlike the two-story building they saw outside, it was obvious that a very powerful traceless stretching spell had been cast here.

At the very least, this open-air courtyard with a fountain alone is ten times larger than the area seen from the outside.

And behind the open-air fountain, there is a resplendent and magnificent palace, which exudes dazzling golden light under the fierce sun of Cairo.

"It's so beautiful!"

Standing at the gate of the hotel, Ron couldn't help admiring the scene inside.

Clark nodded.

It is different from the dark and dirty taverns in the British wizarding world, and it is also different from the fashionable grand hotels in the French wizarding world.

What Clark saw was an ancient temple full of ancient Egyptian and Arabic elements.

Big is the first impression here.

The fountain in the center of the courtyard is large, and the stone pillars engraved with hieroglyphs on both sides are also large. There are also two huge eagle-headed statues standing on the front, holding discs like the sun, guarding both sides of the shiny bronze gate.

Looking out from the gate, facing the hotel are also the three huge pyramids and the tall Sphinx.

Passing through the fountain courtyard and entering the gate, the hotel is also full of unique exotic styles.

The ground is made of light ski-white marble tiles, and the surrounding walls are hung with colorful curtains and Arabic tapestries. There are precious decorations everywhere, and even the doorman standing at the door to welcome guests is the same as Gringotts. leprechaun.

"It's really nice here!" Hermione exclaimed, "What's the name of the hotel?"

"Helios Hotel!" Bill said proudly.

"This used to be a palace dedicated to worshiping the sun god Ra in ancient Egypt, but Gringotts broke the barrier of the temple, and transformed this place into a hotel after obtaining the treasure inside.

Many shamans who travel to Cairo choose to stay here, it is very popular, so I made a reservation here for you. "

When Mrs. Weasley heard this, she couldn't help but complained to Bill: "We're just out for a trip, why do we need to book such a good place, it will cost a lot of money, right?"

Although Mr. Weasley won the annual grand prize of the "Daily Prophet", with a total of 700 gold galleons, but his family was planning to stay in Egypt for a month.

Not even all of the money can be used for this, at least part of it must be left, after all, they still have 5 children going to Hogwarts to go to school.

"Mom, it's actually okay." Bill smiled and comforted his mother, "This hotel is now run by us at Gringotts, so we internal staff book rooms, there are discounts, and the price is not that expensive."

Mr. Weasley, who heard this on the side, felt relieved.

Clark also looked around the surrounding environment and nodded in satisfaction.

Obviously, it seems that goblins are much more reliable than wizards in terms of business operations.

A group of more than a dozen people blocked the door at what time, their curious look around, instantly attracted the eyes of other people, as well as faint snickering.

They hurried to the front of the counter, and standing on the stools inside were three goblins in uniforms of scarlet and gold.

Like the goblins at Gringotts in Diagon Alley, they were short, with dark, intelligent faces, pointed beards, and exceptionally long hands and feet.

When the crowd came over, even though these goblins saw the scene just now, they didn't express anything on their faces, and they still bowed to them.

"Sir, do you need any help?" said a goblin who seemed to be the biggest in the grade.

"I'm Bill Weasley, and I booked two large suites with you," Bill said.

The older goblin looked down at the notebook and nodded.

"Yes, there is indeed a record of your appointment here." The goblin said, and glanced at Bill. "It is reserved for two staff welfare rooms. Here is your key."

He took out two small golden keys, "Both rooms are on the second floor on the east side, I'll find someone to take you there right away, Qiris!"

Qiris is another goblin, and this name is also the name of the Egyptian coin. Obviously, these greedy little guys like to use the name of money as their name.

The Weasley family and Clark followed Qiris out of the hall, and there were many people coming and going along the way.

"There are a lot of tourists here."

Hermione seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness that happened at the airport just now, and said next to Clark.

"yes. "

Clark looked around, and just by climbing the steps, he found Arabs, Asians, blacks, and even some of them were not human.

Yes, absolutely, he saw a guy in a white cloak with a lizard tail trailing behind him.

"That's the lizard people. In the desert on the Egyptian side, there are a group of the only remaining lizard people tribes in the world, but they rarely appear." Bill followed his gaze and explained to him.

"Then there are so many wizards who usually travel to Cairo?"

Clark asked him curiously.

They went up to the corridor on the second floor. Looking down from above, they could see the gate, and from time to time, wizards from other places walked in with salutes.

"Not really,"

At this moment, Qiris, who was walking in the front, seemed to have overheard their conversation. Although the goblin was often criticized by the foreman for this point, he still couldn't help but interject.
