Chapter 841: Leaving Egypt
Soon, no one cared about how Evan persuaded Zoser to show his conscience.
Everyones attention was focused on the shocking case itself. In addition to the murders, it also involved the largest case of theft and trafficking of ancient magical items in the Egyptian Wizarding World in the past century. The amounts involved were astronomical, and the value of those cultural relics was immeasurable
Gringotts attempted to salvage the situation, and Zoser denied everything once he regained consciousness, but with little effect.
First of all, the evidence in this case was solid, and Zoser could not explain the origin of the massive amount of gold found with him.
He couldnt even figure out what had happened. After Evan modified his memory, he could only remember talking with the human boy, and then he was moved by his persuasion. He decided to mend his ways and confess voluntarily. Everything was exactly the same as Evan said. He felt that he had been insane at the time
Secondly, and most importantly, no one wanted to believe what the goblin said.
The wizards distrust and control of the goblins were incisively and vividly displayed at this moment. If Zoser were a wizard, the Egyptian Ministry of magic might have some scruples, but they did not have any hesitation about a goblin.
Soon, the Aurors applied for permission to use Veritaserum on Zoser and made him tell everything.
As Bill expected, the end of Zoser meant that Gringotts power in Egypt was damaged, and many pure-blood wizard families and Dark wizards were also implicated. The Egyptian Ministry of Magic even applied for the help of the International Confederation of Wizards to recover the ancient magical items sold.
It was unknown if Lucius Malfoy would be summoned, which would add some trouble to Voldemort.
Evan was even thinking that it was best to put Lucius and those Death Eaters associated with Zoser in the Wizarding Prison in Egypt. Voldemort probably wouldnt come to rescue them, but this idea was obviously unrealistic.
The Egyptian Ministry of Magic did not intend to expand this matter, nor did it have the ability to do so.
Similar to the Muggle world power distribution, they were much weaker than the British Wizarding World, and there was no room for them to speak in the International Confederation of Wizards.
Therefore, the Egyptian Ministry of Magic finally locked the target of the attack on Gringotts and the goblins, and asked them to pay compensation, which no one would object to.
Now, the entire exploration of ancient Egyptian monuments had been stopped.
The Ministry of Magic would conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the excavation projects originally undertaken by the goblins, including the newly discovered temple of Amun Ra, which would be indefinitely halted.
Evan heard from Bill that the Egyptian Ministry of Magic was unwilling to trust goblins.
They were considering inviting experts from Britain, France, and Germany to form a joint excavation team with their own Curse-Breakers to survey the site.
Of course, this matter no longer concerned Evan. Although he was very interested in The Black Book of the Dead, which was probably, as far as he knew, the only magic that could resurrect the dead and was very valuable, he did not want to take risks in the ruins full of dangers.
Evan didnt expect that things would go round and finally fall on him, but that would be a year later.
When he would return to Egypt again, everything would change drastically. He would have to stop the reawakening of the mummies from thousands of years ago, and even go back to the past to confront Ramses II face-to-face and fight against evil beyond the comprehension of mortals
In the next month, accompanied by Bill and Rawya, Evan, Hermione, Fleur, and Gabrielle visited the entire Egypt.
They took a flying carpet and visited pyramids, temples and various relics.
It was a pity that it was summer vacation; otherwise they could have visited the Egyptian School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Rawya had been with them all the time and they were getting along very well recently.
Because of the end of the excavation, she had nothing to do now, and she could accompany them around Egypt.
She knew a lot of the history of ancient Egypt and was the best tour guide. She also told Evan a lot about witchcraft.
Evan showed her the Owl Pendant on his wrist.
She said that it was a very rare magical item that used the power of shaman to communicate with ancestors and animals in nature. This was a very infamous branch of witchcraft.
This should be a sacred artifact left by an ancient tribe in Africa. I seem to have seen it in some book
She planned to go back to the school library to look up relevant materials after the start of the school term, and if there was anything, she would write to Evan.
Evan hoped that she could find information about the tribe. He had promised Shukrya to send her belated apology back to her tribe and tell her ancestors, but he didnt know where her tribe was.
It had to be said that because the exploration of the ruins had been completely terminated, the number of vacant rooms in the hotel had also increased.
They changed their rooms, but Gabrielle still didnt dare to sleep alone at night. In the end, she and Hermione were in the same room together with Evan, while Fleur had a single room for herself.
With Gabrielle in the middle, Evan couldnt do anything with Hermione. It was a pity that he had to bear it when they were so close to one another.
Some nights, however, Hermione voluntarily crawled to Evans bed to wake him up, and asked him to accompany her outside to see the night view of the pyramids.
She seemed to be fascinated by the beautiful scene and the extreme romantic atmosphere under the starry sky.
Anyway, Evan and Hermiones feelings were advancing by leaps and bounds, and they were more familiar with each other.
A month later, Zosers case finally came to an end, and they were allowed to leave Egypt.
The Egyptian Ministry of Magic finally gave Evan a large sum of 5000 Gold Galleons as a reward for persuading Zoser.
If they knew that he had sifted through Zosers vault and picked up all the valuable things, they would certainly not have been so generous.
They also told Evan that they had applied for the Order of Merlin, First Class. If successful, they would mail the medal to Evan.
In this way, the Egyptian Ministry of Magic was really weak, and the British Ministry of Magic had its own decision on such rewards.
Evan planned to stay in Egypt for a period of time, and he spent it very leisurely. Egypt had countless ancient magic and witchcraft, which gave him considerable inspiration. There were many things that he had just got to know.
But they received a letter from Lupin and had to go back earlier.
Lupin told them in the letter that Harry was in serious trouble. He was sued by the Ministry of Magic for violating the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy and used the Patronus Charm in front of Muggles. Fudge seemed to seize this opportunity to expel him from Hogwarts.
I dont understand why Harry would do that, said Hermione. The Patronus Charm is a very rare magic, only
It goes without saying that he must have met a Dementor, said Evan. Harry finally couldnt help but do it.
But why would there be Dementors? Theyre all in Azkaban. Hermione looked at Evan and suddenly thought of something, God, you mean someone ordered the Dementors to attack Harry
