Chapter 258 Long time no see, Helga
"So this is where you are coming? Why are you coming here?" Looking at the gray town in front of her, Daphne couldn't figure out the reason why Les came all the way here.
After arriving in Cairo, Les and the others stopped using the Muggle method of traveling. Instead, like most wizards, they used magic to reach their destination.
According to the information provided by Gemma, you can find the suspected ruins by heading west from this small town into the desert. Les did make an agreement with Gemma before, saying that he would definitely let her accompany him on the adventure, but he During this trip, he did not reveal his movements to Gemma. The reason was also very simple. He didn't even particularly want to bring Daphne and Astoria with him, let alone a graduate of the Snake Yard whom he didn't know very well.
Maybe if she had known Les for five years, he would have considered taking her with him.
"Yes." Les glanced at Daphne: "Do you remember the previous battle with Gemma Farley?"
"Of course I remember it, it's still fresh in my memory." The battle with Gemma that ended in a draw left a very deep impression on Daphne.
"The magical sand she used was obtained from the desert not far away."
After hearing Les's words, Daphne's eyes lit up: she felt that she would soon be able to play with the same type of sand as Gemma's - the ability to control the soil is also super cool!
"Are we going to get soil?"
"Yes, but we need to do more than just collect soil - Gemma speculates that there is an undiscovered ruins hidden in that place. If the ruins really exist, we will go and conquer it."
Upon hearing the word "relic," Astoria and Daphne's breathing quickened. They began to imagine what the ruins looked like and the treasures hidden within.
With such expectations, the two excitedly entered the desert with Les.
"What the hell, how did Gemma find it there?" The journey deep into the desert was extremely boring. The surrounding scenery was almost unchanged, and Daphne felt that she was going crazy.
"We should first collect some clues, then investigate bit by bit, use various clues to lock the destination in a certain area, and finally conduct a systematic investigation of the area." Les introduced Daphne to find the ancient wizard. A way to hide the relics.
Such boring days lasted for one day and one night. When Les mouthed the word "arrived", both Daphne and Astoria couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Then they became confused: There doesn't seem to be anything special around here? It's just a big, unremarkable sand dune.
Astoria tried to look for abnormalities in the way magic flowed, and then she noticed that there seemed to be a faint flow of magic in the sand under her feet.
Les sat down on the ground and stuck his wand in the sand.
With the input of magic power, the sand began to vibrate slightly. After a few minutes, a small puff of sand emerged from the ground and floated in front of him.
"Those magical sands are mixed with a large amount of ordinary sand. You can play with this sand first - attach the magic power to the sand, and then you can control the soil." Les will search out the sand. The sand was placed in a crystal bottle and handed to Astoria.
The girl took the crystal bottle, took two steps to the side, and tried it according to Les's instructions. It worked wonders.
After the dust was mixed into the sand, it spread her magic power, and the "infected" sand gave Astoria a feeling of being like a finger.
She could easily control the sand and make it look like what she wanted. First a small dune rose up on the sand, then the dune turned into several letters, and then it turned into the shape of a snake.
"rise!"
A round sand man appeared on the ground and moved slowly.
Astoria had a great time playing, and Daphne was itching to see it. She quickly took the remaining sand from her sister, and followed her example, "infecting" herself with a bunch of sand, and then Started playing happily.
Seeing that the two students were fascinated by playing in the sand, Les didn't stop him. He just smiled and said, "If the children want to play, let them play. Do your own business first."
During the recent investigation, he found that Gemma's prediction was correct, and there was indeed a ruin hidden under this sand dune.
He also found a way to unearth the ruins.
Les continued to inject his own magic into the sand, sifting out the sand with special energy effects. After accumulating enough magic sand, he attached his magic to the sand, and then used the sand to control A large area of sand.
Les stood up and waved his hand forward, causing the entire dune to shake.
On one side, Daphne and Astoria were trying to build a Hogwarts castle out of sand, but the sudden shaking of the sand dunes caused their half-built castle to collapse.
An unknown amount of sand slid down both sides of the dune like a flood, and the movable sand had a chain reaction, bringing with it other sand that was not infected by Rice's magic.
The entire dune began to collapse at an alarming rate.
The three of Les used flight magic directly, floated into the air, and watched the dunes collapse piece by piece.
Daphne pouted as the "castle" was destroyed. The Hogwarts she and her sister built was almost completed, but Les destroyed it all at once.
"Les, what are you doing-" She closed her mouth mid-sentence, because as the sand slid down, a palace made of huge white stones appeared.
Judging from the parts that are now exposed, this palace is extremely majestic, perhaps more than fifty meters high, and is made entirely of huge stones.
Over the long years, the back half of the palace may have collapsed or the foundations may have settled, leaving the remains of the palace to form a triangle. The sand carried by the wind accumulated little by little on the hypotenuse of the triangle, eventually burying the entire palace.
Les removed large amounts of sand from the top and front of the palace, re-exposing it from beneath the sand.
"Look, there is indeed a ruin here." Rice pointed to the palace at his feet, and then landed directly at the main entrance of the palace.
Rice, who landed on the ground, did not rush to observe the appearance of the ruins, but closed his eyes. He tried hard to feel the magic power fluctuations in the palace, and after a while he opened his eyes, with a smile on his lips——
It's been so long, Helga.
