Chapter 309 Sand Chicken?
McGuffin and Ron had an incredible vacation in Egypt.
What unfolded before their eyes was a magical world completely different from London.
Unlike the British Muggle wizards and pure-blood wizards who are crazily opposed, and the American Auror-style magical world that is completely isolated from the Muggle society, the Muggle society and the wizarding world here are as distinct as night and night, and they get along very strangely.
The wizarding world here is composed of the wizarding families and magical secret societies handed down from the ancient Egyptian wizarding dynasty.
These secret societies and wizards are an important part of the local Ministry of Magic and magic schools.
(Once a little wizard born in a Muggle family shows magical powers, they will be taken away from the Muggle family. The sect society tries to cut off the relationship with the little wizard and the Muggle society... The little wizards born in the Muggle family are taught by masters and apprentices from generation to generation, and a few people can form a magic secret society)
It is different from the open and formal modern magic school of Hogwarts, but the inside is actually quite different.
According to what Mr. Weasley told McGuffin, the magic school here is strictly hierarchical, with opposing families, and the knowledge in the school is mastered by those secret societies and families, and will not be handed over to students easily.
Therefore, this situation is different from the wizarding world in Britain, where many spells from the Middle Ages have been handed down.
Although most of them have been lost because of the language, voice, and years of war (with other wizarding worlds, and their own domestic family wizards), most of them have been lost and cannot be used anymore.
But it is much better than the magic spell in the middle ages of England, which is completely without trace.
For example, now, McGuffin has found a description of his [Golden Libra] magic rune.
It is said that it was created by a certain priest (wizard) according to the theory of "divine enlightenment" during the third wizarding dynasty of ancient Egypt.
The original purpose is to measure the weight of human souls, to see if there is a real difference between the souls of sinners and pure and good people...
That's right, the ancient sorcerer drew out the human soul.
(During the period of the third wizarding dynasty of wizards in ancient Egypt, wizards at that time generally believed that magic power came from the human soul, and the human soul lived in the body, and most of the soul was preserved in the blood, heart, and brain of the human body...)
Therefore, these ancient wizards used a black spell that seems almost unforgivable now, to pull out the Muggle's brain alive from the nostrils, and then dug out the heart to squeeze out all the blood in his body.
This is where the Muggle method of mummification comes from.
Of course, this method failed completely, but it created a lot of unique magic, and the magic rune of [Golden Libra] was just one aspect.
At that time, the ruler of the wizarding dynasty of ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh (wizard) was also inspired to create an evil black magic, and made a whole army of mummy magic to protect his dynasty.
(The production method of the black magic product of Yin Corpse is also affected by this lost curse)
Because of these lost magical knowledge that cannot be found in England, MacGuffin's journey in Egypt is indeed fruitful.
This ancient wizard knowledge and spells are especially helpful for him to absorb Voldemort's dark magic knowledge and ancient magic learning.
In order to suppress the [Blood Curse] from being activated again, McGuffin even took the [Unicorn Blood and Unicorn Powder Mixture] automatically.
But even so—
→【Blood Curse: Erosion Progress 49%】
This curse is still running wildly on McGuffin, having fun all the way.
During his travels, he got some small tasks from Mr. Weasley about explaining Muggle society more than once, each time a day or two of talent points.
Although it is rare, it is a vigorously growing leek.
Of course, other people can also find some talent points.
With the help of the spirit of 'helping others', during this month's trip in Egypt, McGuffin managed to raise his reputation with the Weasley family to at least 'respect'.
So much so that Mrs. Weasley is no longer talking about Percy and Bill about the education of the twins. Instead, she directly confronts the two twin brothers about the education...
"If only half the MacGuffin Alberts were honest and polite!" she said directly to the MacGuffins.
In this way, McGuffin was a little embarrassed to face Ron and the twins. Fortunately, they didn't take it seriously.
In short, McGuffin has gained a lot this time. Although [Blood Curse: Progress] remains in a critical state, it is worth it.
Even without the test, McGuffin found himself at least able to hold hands with a full-fledged wizard now.
In addition to the problem of mana stock, for black magic, jinxes, curses, ancient magic, these dangerous spells that can cause great trauma... He even feels more proficient than them.
By the way, when traveling in Egypt, the regulations that little wizards are not allowed to cast magic at will are no longer necessary.
The British Ministry of Magic seems to have little control over young wizards casting spells in foreign lands.
Moreover, the isolated atmosphere between the Egyptian wizarding world and the Muggle world has advantages and disadvantages. It is difficult for the Egyptian wizarding world to carry out modern magic reforms, but from a certain point of view, they don't care about the spells cast by little wizards at all.
These little wizards usually have a fundamental way to cause commotion in the Muggle society, so here, little wizards like McGuffin and Ron who have not obtained the [Wizard Level Certificate] can also perform magic to their heart's content.
Otherwise, the Weasleys wouldn't feel at ease letting Percy lead a few little wizards wandering around in the pyramid with many magical traps.
(Although most of the magic organs and curses have gradually failed to retain and become invalid due to years of disrepair, there are still a few unique magic creations combined with magic spells that still exist in the world, as a member of the foreign wizard tourism project.)
For example, the twins often cast spells to play tricks on Percy, especially when they were exploring a hidden magical pyramid. They used a spell to lock Percy and a crazy mummy with three heads in a secret room.
It took Mr. Weasley a long time to rescue Percy, and of course he scolded the two little wizards again.
I forgot to mention that the Albert family, that is, the McGuffin family, returned after the first week of the trip, that is, after visiting the [Children’s Harmless Magic Journey] arranged by the [Egyptian Tourism Authority].
Not only because the next journey is threatening, but also because it is not a traditional British holiday. The Albert family (except MacGuffin), who go to school, work, have their own things to do.
(McGuffin stayed with the Weasleys to travel around, looking for some special spell exercises to improve his strength. This semester, the werewolf, the dementor, Peter Pettigrew, and those plots that get out of control and collapse... all need McGuffin to improve his strength)
As for Mr. Weasley, he took the annual leave he had accumulated all along, especially after the intense work of the last period (without any rest time), the Ministry of Magic had no way to refuse Mr. Weasley's leave.
As for Charlie and Bill, we will take Weasley and McGuffin to visit some special attractions
(For example, in the Oasis Reserve of Magical Creatures in the Desert, I saw Sharon, scarabs, jackals and other rare protected animals unique to Egypt... There are also the famous inverted Khufu Pyramid, the sculpture group of the underground Pharaoh Temple) and other special and most dangerous scenic spots, and then left.
Especially Charlie, now is the estrus (breeding season) of the dragon in the [Romanian Giant Magical Creature Sanctuary].
There is a need for young, strong (and energetic) wizards like him to maintain the situation, lest the giant dragon break through the magical illusion due to excitement, leave the protected area, and run directly to Muggle-inhabited areas, especially certain cities for a large-scale 'show' that lasts for half a month.
that was a big mess
Speaking of trouble, besides the endless trouble the twins caused Percy.
The local food is the traveler's biggest trouble...or enemy.
For the first time, McGuffin understood that there were worse places than British food culture.
That is the local special diet of the Egyptian wizarding world...
Later, McGuffin understood that every place has some special diets that specially serve some foreign SBs. (And the locals will never taste it, they will only look at those foreign countries, self-righteous, looking for strange food guys to commit suicide)
It was the penultimate day of their departure from Egypt, and they discussed buying some special local gifts (Ron only remembered to prepare a birthday present for Harry at this time), as well as tasting local specialties.
Especially the original and most distinctive ones.
Whether it's Percy, or George Fred, even Mr. Weasley agrees.
So at that time, under the recommendation of the travel brochure, they found the most 'authentic' wizard restaurant in the area.
The Muggle waiter who served there brought them a large pot (a pot that the MacGuffins could barely hold) red oily "Red Sea Sand Chicken Soup"!
——It was bright red, and there were some golden balls wrapped in a crisp coat floating around on it.
"Sand chicken... what is that?" Percy was a little puzzled, he scooped up a ball with a spoon and stuffed it into his mouth.
The serving Muggle introduced with a smile.
"The sand chicken has been magically transformed by the wizard, and it has been completely harmless. It is a special delicacy."
"There is a very special magical effect in it, which can calm the mood, as if evil!"
(The Muggles serving this service may also be Squibs, but it is very likely that they are some Muggle servants. The wizarding world in Egypt has always had such a tradition-although the wizarding world here is isolated from Muggle society, it recruits a large number of Muggles as servants. Most of these Muggles are related to wizards.
Although Egypt abolished Muggle slaves under the pressure of the [International Federation of Magic Conference] in the middle of the 20th century, there are still many Muggle servants, but in fact, they are only a little better than the slaves at that time.
Hermione definitely didn't know what the real Egyptian wizarding world was like. She had been writing to hope that McGuffin and Ron would give her a good description of the wizarding world here, but after discussing it with Ron, McGuffin decided to conceal it. )
"And what's the red one?" Ron asked.
"Safflower, ground into powder, is a kind of potion material unique to our place!"
"So this pot of soup is not only delicious, but also can greatly promote the recovery of wizard's magic power, and the growth of little wizard's magic power... Even some British wizards will come to us specifically to find this kind of food when they want to obtain [Wizard Level Certificates] (OWLs)."
The Muggle servants looked very proud, and we in the Egyptian wizarding world had one mouthful.
Not at all because I can't touch magic, I can only be a wizard's servant all my life, and feel that I can't escape the gloom of this sad situation, on the contrary, I am very proud and proud.
Hearing that it could promote the growth of magic power, Percy Weasley was so anxious that he almost made a whole pot of soup by himself. (This is still when other dishes are not served).
And Mrs. Weasley also forced George and Fred to drink a big bowl for the twins to take their wizarding level exam next year.
Ron ate a lot too.
"This one feels good, very crispy. Why don't you order some MacGuffins? It's very good!" Ron also recommended, "Although it doesn't look very good, it has an exotic taste, especially the fried 'sand chicken' balls?"
McGuffin shook his head suspiciously.
He knows that he must be cautious about things he doesn't know, especially the food recommended by local wizards to 'foreigners'.
It is very likely that there are some very special local foods like maodan, grilled scorpion, boy's egg...etc.
McGuffin had seen a lot of this kind of thing in his previous life. Although it was understandable, he did not accept it.
Sure enough, while the Weasleys were eating, Percy pulled out another bright black limb from his mouth, like some kind of insect's leg.
Percy's face at that time!
He didn't lose his temper, and pulled the insect's leg out of his mouth gracefully, and then asked the Muggle servant with a gloomy face, "Is this a sand chicken?"
"That's right! This is the chicken in the desert, scarab!"
"Praise be to the holy No.15 pharaoh wizard king, who bred this edible scarab during the time of great famine!"
McGuffin was at a loss for what to say when he heard this.
Information about the sand chicken, that is, the scarab, appeared in his mind.
Scarabs, scarab family, also known as dung beetles, usually called dung beetles.Most dung beetles are coprophagous and feed on animal dung, so they have the title of "natural scavengers".It often makes feces into balls, rolls them to hide in dark and dry corners, and then eats them slowly.
Sure... maybe this is a new species, maybe... feeds on something else...
However, just a little association... McGuffin's stomach churns, not to mention...
The Muggle waiter wasn't done yet.
At that moment, almost everyone in the Weasley family's face suddenly changed, and their mouths were about to vomit. (As for Ginny, she didn’t eat, she looked at the color ratio and said she had no appetite)
"This sacred food saved countless worms who were trapped in hunger and hardship!" The Muggle waiter was still praising and flattering the wizard.
It's like planting the [Imperius Curse].
(The worm, in Egypt means the muggle)
He straightened his hands and arms, and then hugged them on his shoulders. With a sacred expression on his face, he said to several people as if doing a ritual.
"This is a symbol of our ancient Egyptian wizarding dynasty. It is the most sacred dish here. If the guests start it, you have to eat it up. Only then can it be regarded as respecting our cultural tradition..."
"otherwise……"
Talking about a few big arms and round waists, the kind of wand with yellowish knots is bigger than McGuffin's wand, and the thicker wizard lifted the curtain and walked in from the outside.
"We will be fined according to our rules here!"
"30 Galleons, not even one less!" These big wizards said viciously.
(Gringotts has set up branches around the world, and goblins are almost the same as the financial bank of the wizarding world, so almost all the wizarding world uses mostly gold Galleons—except for a certain ancient oriental country, where the heritage of the wizarding world has never been broken, so it is difficult for goblins to follow the modernization of magic and enter the local system.)
——Is this a black shop?
McGuffin seemed to have seen the sound of galleons dangling from a few people's heads, and it seemed that the locals thought they were being taken advantage of.
Mr. Weasley blushed with exasperation.
He thought these wizards were coming to threaten them.
Just as he took out his wand and asked these local wizards to see that British wizards were not easy to bully.
Those burly men waved their wands directly, and showed a magic contract in front of them.
It showed a contract that Weasley and McGuffin entered into automatically when they entered the shop.
It was written in ancient Egyptian and English respectively:
"Don't waste food, or you will be punished by the gods and Pharaoh!"
"That's a fine!"
added the Muggle waiter. "This is written into the law promulgated by the Egyptian Ministry of Magic. Even British wizards cannot defy it!"
Mr. Weasley's face was now as dark as the scarab's calf that had just popped out of Percy's mouth.
Because of this unlucky incident, this day became the penultimate day of their magic trip to Egypt.
