The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Just when Alan was about to walk into the city gate, Tom stopped him and pointed to a scale placed at the city gate. Although there is nothing on the scale at this time, it is not in equilibrium.

Tom took out a gold galleon and placed it on the high end. At this time, the scale slowly sank, but it was still not in equilibrium.

"So greedy!" Tom complained. He didn't know whether he was complaining about the goblins in Gringotts or the tax collectors in the ancient city. He took out another gold Galleons and put it on it, and the scales became balanced. .

"Isn't it necessary?" Allen thought Tom was unnecessary, and Tom gave him a cold look, "Then I can take the money back, and you can go in by yourself."

After all, Alan didn't dare to talk back, so he stood obediently and followed Tom into the city gate.

Halfway through the city gate, Dr. Hunter suddenly pulled Allen and pointed at the top of the corridor. Allen looked up and broke out in a cold sweat: there were strange patterns painted on the top of the corridor, and it was obvious just by looking at it. It is dizzying, and there is a mural painted next to it. The colors and patterns on the mural are still bright after the baptism of time, and they can still clearly convey the meaning of the painter: those who try to enter the city without paying the city fee will be punished. curse.

In this environment, a curse is more than just a threat.

"It's always good to be cautious," Dr. Hunter patted Allen on the shoulder. "These patterns should be made of gem powder as pigment. As long as there is no wind and sand, they will never fade."

He thought for a moment, took out his camera, and took a few photos.

"If my predecessors were here, they would definitely find a way to remove the murals." Dr. Hunter complained about the barbaric behavior of those British gentlemen decades ago.

"If you are so domineering in this city, then I believe you will not be able to get out of the Sahara Desert alive." Tom said coldly, "I still want to go back to school, so please don't cause trouble."

Dr. Hunter smiled. Allen, on the other hand, was young and energetic, and was a little unconvinced, "What do you mean by being overbearing! That's because those countries have no ability to protect these precious cultural relics. These cultural relics do not belong to one family or one country, but to all mankind. Those predecessors are saving mankind." Heritage of civilization! You should have seen this along the way. Egypt is completely incapable of protecting the cultural relics of ancient Egypt. The destruction and excavation are shocking..."

Tom rolled his eyes, "The conditions in the United States are the best. Why don't you move the British Museum to Boston? Just grab it, don't be pretentious - the damage to nature is less than one ten thousandth of what you 'archaeologists' have destroyed. , obelisks, Dunhuang murals, Parthenon... If I were to list them, I could say one day and one night.”

Snapped!

Dr. Hunter slapped Alan on the back of the head.

"Please stop saying a few words! Come and take pictures for me!" He held the camera and took pictures of the murals in the corridor. Under Tom's repeated urging, he and Alan reluctantly walked into the ancient city of Toth.

However, the buildings in the city failed to preserve the style they had five thousand years ago. The entire city's periphery was submerged in weeds and vines, and as far as the eye could see, it was filled with dazzling green. These weeds and vines pushed down the walls of ordinary buildings and rotted the beams. Except for the city walls and pyramids, they successfully spread to every corner.

Wherever they spread, the houses there will be reduced to ruins in more than ten years, so at this time, only the ruins are left in the ancient city of Tote. However, this ruins is not a desolate ruin. It can be said that "everything comes alive" and "vibrant". Among the grass, some fat mice were alarmed by the noise made by Tom and the others when they came in. They squeaked. He yelled and ran. Among these mice, the big ones are as big as kittens. Running together in a large group is quite impressive.

The movement of the mice also attracted the hunters around, but what Tom saw was more than twenty snakes scurrying out from the nooks and crannies of various horns to hunt for prey. Most of these snakes were highly venomous cobras, as well as pythons as thick as wrists.

But here, it’s not these snakes that occupy the top of the food chain, but cats.

While the expedition team was quietly watching the hunting show in front of them, something happened that stunned them: several cats appeared, and they quickly slapped the cobras that were feasting, knocked them unconscious, and then enjoyed them slowly. There was a snake and rat feast.

The big python coiled its body, spitting out and retracting its core, and made a threatening sound - it could easily kill the wild cats present, but it did not dare to act rashly, as if it was afraid of something.

"Meow!"

A black cat with no hair on its body appeared on a broken wall. For a moment, the cat, snake, and rat all stopped moving. The black cat's eyes swept around the snake and mouse several times, and finally landed on the python. It screamed at the boa constrictor. Strangely enough, with such a simple cry, the boa constrictor shrank into a ball and did not dare to move.

It gracefully jumped off the wall, ripped the python's head open and ate the brain inside. From beginning to end, the python did not dare to resist, roar, or even run away.

After enjoying lunch, Black Cat looked at the seven members of the adventure team with a very human expression. That expression was like that of a noble seeing a rare slave.

"It seems like it wants us to salute?" Alyosha understood the black cat's expression.

"That's what it looks like." The old man Yushadu was already ready to kowtow.

Seeing that a few people were motionless and even whispering, the black cat was furious, and it roared again, and rustling sounds were heard everywhere. Immediately afterwards, something happened that made the seven people's scalps numb: countless snakes of various kinds sprang out from every corner of the ruins. The big ones are as thick as thighs, and the small ones are as big as chopsticks.

"Fire protection!" Without thinking, Tom directly created a wall of fire in front of everyone, forcing the incoming snakes back, then turned around and ran towards the city wall, but at this time, a monster was already standing at the city gate blocking the way. . The monster looks like a huge leopard

"Venom leopard!" Hermione recognized this extremely dangerous magical animal, which was rated five stars by the Ministry of Magic. Its breath can cause fatal diseases, and one of them is enough to destroy an entire village. To subdue a poisonous leopard, more than a hundred skilled wizards must join forces.

"Run!" You definitely can't go to the city gate. Even if you kill the leopard, you will be poisoned by its poisonous mist. Tom looked at the swarm of snakes coming over, drew out his wand, and used the explosion spell to kill the approaching snakes. The snakes exploded to delay time.

"Go to the pyramids!" Recalling his experience in the desert, he made up his mind to try his luck in the city center first.
