Chapter 371 The Ten Plagues of Egypt
Red Square.
While the Egyptian Ministry of Magic responded promptly, Wright, who returned to the tent alone on the other side, was also thinking about his future plans.
No matter which country you are in, once a large-scale disaster occurs, it will definitely not only affect one group.
Based on the information obtained so far, Wright can temporarily infer that the blood water brought by the clear water spell just now is very likely to be extremely closely related to the bloody flood, one of the ten legendary plagues in Egypt. According to Mustafa His rhetoric and performance, this inference is not entirely correct, but it is probably about the same.
Then here comes the problem.
Since the blood and water disaster can have such a terrifying impact in the Crimson Square, which is extremely protected by magic, and is so powerful that even the springs summoned by the wizards using the water spell turned into blood, then what is the situation outside? One can imagine.
Think again of the record in "Exodus", "...the water of the river turned into blood...so that the Egyptians could not drink the water in the river..."
The worst plan is that such a blood and water disaster will affect the entire Egypt, and whether it is water in rivers, lakes, seas, water vapor in the air, or even water, drinks and other liquids previously produced by people, they will all turn into This kind of blood exudes a disgusting smell, and it will last for a long time.
Wright couldn't imagine what the whole of Egypt would look like after that happened, whether it would be a hell on earth or a hell on earth.
Currently staying in Crimson Square and unable to go out for the time being, Wright is not yet able to effectively obtain information from the outside. Moreover, due to the sudden incident, it is estimated that no one except the Egyptian Ministry of Magic and wizards within Egypt will know what happened in Egypt. Such a thing has happened, so the channels for obtaining information from the outside world are passively cut off.
Wright could only rely on his own adaptability to cope with this sudden disaster.
"I just hope that this bloody disaster will not last for a long time. It would be great if it could end immediately." Wright thought as he looked at the empty tent room.
but……
As his mind raced, Wright suddenly remembered another thing, which could be called an extremely bad association.
According to legend, the ten plagues of Egypt were not just blood and water disasters! The bloody disaster that affected the entire Egypt was just the beginning of the ten plagues!
Wright frowned and tried his best to recall the records of "Exodus" in his mind.
At the end of the bloody flood... "It was not until seven days had passed that the water became clear. This allowed Pharaoh to realize the power of God, and that man's stubbornness and foolishness could never stop God from accomplishing His will."
After that, there was the "frog plague".
“…God stretched out his staff through Aaron over the waters of the rivers, and caused frogs to come up and cover all the land of Egypt, and they entered Pharaoh’s house and entered bedrooms, beds, and people…”
Although it sounds strange, the bloody flood was followed by a frog plague.
Wright vaguely remembered some habits of the ancient Egyptians. The ancient Egyptians liked cleanliness very much. From the pharaohs and priests to the common people, they were all people who loved cleanliness. For example, Egyptian priests often shaved their heads and removed all the hair on their bodies, and wore clean linen clothes. They were the most careful people to guard against all kinds of impurities.
In addition, the ancient Egyptians generally believed that frogs were a symbol of the goddess, which made them afraid to kill frogs.
So when the frogs in the rivers filled the wilderness, it was really a huge disaster for the ancient Egyptians.
For example, after the "frog plague", the "lice plague" and the "fly plague" were disasters for the Egyptians who loved cleanliness, especially flies. This insect was regarded by the Egyptians at that time as a symbol of the sun god, and it was also a symbol of evil. Able to kill.
In fact, Wright can barely accept these three kinds. He is not an ancient Egyptian who fears gods and ghosts. When faced with frogs, lice, and flies that he doesn't want to see, he can just burn them clean with a fire.
But the problem lies in the next few disasters.
"Animal plague" will not affect wizards, so Wright will not consider it for the time being. After all, its catastrophic effect only affects livestock raised by humans.
What follows are the "disasters of boils," "disasters of hail," "disasters of locusts," "disasters of darkness," and "disasters of the firstborn" that directly harm people.
"Blistering plague" is a large-scale epidemic that can cause excruciatingly painful blisters on people's bodies; "hail disaster" is thunder, lightning, hail, and even fire falling from the sky; "locust plague" is overwhelming locusts. Devouring all vegetables and plants, losing food supplies; the "disaster of darkness" directly plunged Egypt into three days of eternal darkness, and the sun no longer rose.
The most egregious thing is the "plague of the firstborn", an existence that has the effect of being wiped out by rules. As long as it is in Egypt, whether it is the eldest son of the pharaoh, the eldest son of the maidservant, or even all first-born domestic animals, they will die directly.
This is completely beyond the reach of human beings. Only true gods have this kind of power to control life and death.
It's like circling all the eldest son's names directly in the book of life and death or the death note.
Wright didn't want to take this risk and use his own life to test whether the "Firstborn Disaster" that he didn't know would come would only target the local wizards in Egypt and not harm the lives of people in other countries. Even if "Exodus" It is clearly recorded in "The Chronicles" that these ten disasters are only for the Egyptians!
Secretly making up his mind, Wright decided to stay in Egypt for a few more days. If after the "bloody disaster" passed, "frogs", "lice", "flies" and "animals" still continued to come for unknown reasons. "Epidemic", then he would leave immediately without looking back.
This International Alchemy Conference that stopped midway has been going on for almost half a year. Wright has absorbed a lot of knowledge. Even if he leaves midway, he will not have any other emotions except a touch of regret. . As for the "International Alchemy Conference Pioneering Contribution Gold Award", let it be left to those brave men who dare to stay to compete for it!
And Nicoléme probably wouldn't say anything. Wright felt that his progress in the past six months was enough to satisfy his teacher! And it’s the kind with super scores! Besides, he didn’t run away because he didn’t want to stay in Egypt anymore, but because the off-site factors were too dangerous, he wisely retreated to save himself!
Thinking of Nicolas Flamel, I couldn't help but think of Beauxbatons, and I don't know if Gabrielle's little white hair thought of me; when I thought of Beauxbatons, Hogwarts Castle jumped out, and Chang Chu, Hermione, Harry and Ron, who are still struggling to go to school, don't know if they have discovered Pettigrew...
"Damn bloody disaster!" Wright turned over on the bed out of boredom.
"Hey, wait, a disaster of blood and water..." For some reason, Wright suddenly found an extremely ancient picture from the depths of his mind. This was a movie he had seen in his previous life, and this movie had not yet started in this life. Shooting has started.
Three middle-aged men leaned against the bar counter together, drank the wine in their glasses, and then squirted out immediately. From the small fountain in front of the three of them, blood-like water was pouring out.
"...the rivers of Egypt are as red as blood..."
Wright couldn't help but hold his forehead and smile.
This is the world of Harry Potter. Although the world line seems to have a certain deviation, it will never be connected to the movie "The Mummy", right? Is it possible that when he arrived in Egypt, he would be exposed to a movie with an Egyptian background, and when he arrived in France, he would be exposed to a movie with a French background?
Besides, when the story of "The Mummy 1" took place, it was still in 1925, almost 70 years ago, and the timeline does not match at all.
Wright still remembers his comments after watching the movie: A priest named Immorton was imprisoned in a coffin for thousands of years and resurrected after having an affair with the pharaoh's concubine Ansuna. He wanted to be resurrected even after his own resurrection. Lover's love story.
Of course, the so-called "Mummy" is just Wright's sudden imagination.
The most important point is that "The Mummy" takes place in Hamna Tower, and Wright is certain that in all the magic books about Egypt that he has rummaged through, such a place name that will definitely be written does not exist.
Immorton and Ansuna should just be a couple on the run in that movie, and don't get involved in the affairs of people in the underworld.
