Chapter 258 Long Time No See, Helga

"So this is where you want to go? Why do you want to come here?" Looking at the gray town in front of her, Daphne couldn't figure out why Les had come all the way here.

After arriving in Cairo, Les and his friends no longer used the Muggle way of travel, but like most wizards, they used magic to rush to their destination.

According to the information provided by Gemma, the suspected ruins can be found by going west into the desert from this town - Les did have an agreement with Gemma before, saying that he would definitely let her accompany him on the adventure, but he didn't tell Gemma about his movements this time. The reason is also very simple. He didn't even want to take Daphne and Astoria with him, let alone a graduate of the Serpentine Academy who he didn't know very well.

Perhaps if she had known Les for five years, Les would have considered taking her with him.

"Yes." Les glanced at Daphne: "Do you remember the battle with Gemma Farley before?"

"Of course I remember, it's still fresh in my memory." The battle that ended in a tie with Gemma left a very deep impression on Daphne.

"The magical sand she used was obtained from the desert not far away."

After hearing what Les said, Daphne's eyes lit up: she felt that she would soon be able to play with the same sand as Gemma - the ability to control soil is also super cool!

"Are we going to get soil?"

"Well, but there is more to do than just getting soil - Gemma speculates that there is an undiscovered relic hidden in that place. If the relic really exists, we will go and conquer it."

Hearing the word "relic", Astoria and Daphne's breathing became rapid. They began to imagine the appearance of the relic and the treasure hidden in it.

With such expectations, the two excitedly entered the desert with Les.

"Damn it, how did Gemma find it?" The journey after going deep into the desert was extremely boring, and the surrounding scenery was almost unchanged. Daphne felt that she was going crazy.

"We should first collect some clues, then investigate a little bit, and then use various clues to lock the destination in a certain area, and finally conduct a systematic investigation of the area." Rice introduced to Daphne the method of finding the relics hidden by ancient wizards.

Such boring days lasted for a day and a night. When Rice uttered the word "arrived", both Daphne and Astoria could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then they became confused: There seems to be nothing special around here? It's just an ordinary big sand dune.

Astoria tried to find abnormalities by the flow of magic power, and then she noticed that there seemed to be a faint flow of magic power in the sand under her feet.

Rice sat down on the ground and inserted the magic wand into the sand.

With the input of magic power, the sand began to vibrate slightly. After a few minutes, a small pile of sand floated out from the ground and floated in front of him.

"The magical dust is mixed with a lot of ordinary sand. You can play with this little bit of sand first - attach magic to the dust, and then you can control the soil." Rice put the dust he had collected into a crystal bottle and handed it to Astoria.

The girl took the crystal bottle, walked two steps to the side, and tried it as Rice instructed. It really worked.

After the dust was mixed into the sand, her magic also spread out. The "infected" sand gave Astoria a feeling of being able to use it as if it were her fingers and arms.

She could easily drive the sand and make it look like what she wanted. A small sand dune first rose on the sand, and then the sand dune turned into several letters, and then turned into the shape of a snake.

"Get up!"

A round sand man appeared on the ground and slowly moved his steps.

Astoria was having a lot of fun. Daphne was itching to try it. She quickly asked her sister for the remaining sand. Following her example, she also "infected" herself with a pile of sand and then started playing happily.

Seeing that the two students were playing with the sand there, Rice did not stop them. He just smiled and said: Let the children play if they want to. Let me do my work first.

In the previous exploration, he found that Gemma's prediction was correct. There was indeed a relic hidden under this sand dune.

He also found a way to excavate the relic.

Rice continued to inject his magic power into the sand, screening out those sands with special energy efficiency. After accumulating enough magic sands, he attached his magic power to these sands, and then used these sands to control a large area of ​​sand.

Rice stood up and waved his hand forward, and the whole sand dune shook.

Daphne and Astoria were trying to build a Hogwarts castle with sand, but the sand dunes suddenly shook and collapsed the castle they had built halfway.

An unknown amount of sand slid down the dunes like a flood, and the moving sand caused a chain reaction, which also affected other sand that was not infected by Les's magic.

The entire dune began to collapse at an alarming speed.

Rice and the other two used flying magic to float in the air and watched the sand dunes collapse piece by piece.

Daphne pouted as her "castle" was destroyed. The Hogwarts she and her sister built was almost completed, but Rice destroyed it all at once.

"Rice, what are you doing--" She closed her mouth halfway through her words, because as the sand slid down, a palace built with huge white slabs of stone emerged.

Judging from the part exposed now, this palace is extremely magnificent, with a height of more than 50 meters and built entirely of huge stones.

Over the long years, the back half of the palace may have collapsed, or the foundation may have settled, causing the ruins of the palace to eventually form a triangle. The sand carried by the wind accumulated little by little on the hypotenuse of the triangle, and eventually buried the entire palace.

Rice moved a lot of sand on the top and front of the palace, exposing it again from under the sand.

"Look, there is indeed a relic here." Rice pointed to the palace under his feet, and then landed directly at the main entrance of the palace.

After landing on the ground, Les did not rush to observe the appearance of the ruins, but closed his eyes. He tried to feel the fluctuations of the magic power in the palace. After a long time, he opened his eyes and smiled slightly——

It's been a long time since we last met, Helga.
