Chapter 833 Jade Record
Both of them climbed into the small cart, but the goblin didn't start it in a hurry. He seemed to have something to say to Ivan.
"We must hurry up, Mr. Mason." Zuo Sai said to himself, with a sharp and piercing voice, "I am different from you, my time is very precious, and there are still many things waiting for me to do..."
"Yes!" Ivan looked at the very old goblin, not understanding what he meant,
"I don't know what you want to achieve, but you will definitely not succeed." Zuo Sai continued, taking out a pocket watch from his pocket and looking at it, in an exasperating tone, "I even doubt whether you can Understand the early hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt."
To be honest, Ivan really doesn't know hieroglyphs, but only knows the meanings represented by a few special symbols.
"Sorry, I don't understand what you mean..." he asked directly.
"I mean, watching the translated version and the original version of "The Jade Record" doesn't mean much to you. I have seen too many arrogant human wizards like you come here to delusional about the real secrets contained in the "Jade Record", but They didn't get anything." Zuo Sai said, put away his pocket watch, and turned to look at Ai Wen, "Those rumors from the outside world are simply nonsense, except for the above knowledge, that legendary magic item is just an ordinary stone slab , without any magical powers that you wish to acquire."
"Knowledge itself is priceless, and the early hieroglyphics in ancient Egypt may give me some inspiration." Aiwen said.
He understood what Zuo Sai meant, this goblin looked down on him at all, and thought he didn't need to read the original version of "Jade Record".
"What a hassle, a waste of time..." Zuo Sai muttered in a low voice.
After that, neither of the two people spoke, and the small cart galloped along the maze-like winding corridors.
Soon, Ai Wenji was confused. The terrain here is much more complicated than that of the underground in London. There are many places full of gravel. A narrow passage was maintained by magic for them to pass through. After the trolley passed by, the back Turned into a pile of quicksand again.
The icy air whizzed past, and after ten minutes, they rushed deep underground.
In the yellow gravel and rocks, Aiwen saw many ancient relics of different ages. They were produced in different strata according to different times. This probably belongs to the characteristics of Egypt. Only this country and this city have so many remains of ancient relics. .
As time went on, they descended deeper and deeper, picking up speed.
The air became colder and biting at the sharp turn, and the cart rattled over a mountain stream.
"We're here!" Zuo Sai pointed, and the light of countless torches dispersed the surrounding darkness from far and near.
Aiwen saw that in front of them was a huge stone, without the complicated and heavy iron gates like the Gringotts vault in London.
Zuo Sai got up to the stone and said solemnly, "Sesame, open the door!"
He stretched out a long finger and gently tapped the huge rock, and a wide doorway suddenly appeared in front of the big rock.
Aiwen looked at each other speechlessly. The goblins of Gringotts must have never read the book "Arabian Nights", or is it that the story of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves originally came from here, and the caves of the thieves were designed by the goblins? of.
His attention soon shifted to the room behind the rock, where a green stone glowed softly in the firelight.
It was a huge green stone slab made of emeralds all over, and it was engraved with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
The edge of the stone slab is irregular, and there is a huge crack in the upper left, as if it was forcibly knocked down from somewhere.
"This is the Jade Record you wish to see, Mr. Mason!" Zuo Sai said, with a malicious smile on his face, "Thousands of years ago, the wizards of ancient Egypt recovered this priceless treasure from tomb robbers .It was originally treasured in the secret room of the Hermes Pharaoh’s Pyramid, and that pyramid has now become a ruin. It is a pity that the text on it is incomplete, and the crucial information has been lost.”
"It's really a pity." Ai Wen said, carefully looking at the "Jade Record" in the middle of the room.
"The Egyptian Ministry of Magic asked Gringotts to keep this priceless alchemy book. The temperature and humidity inside are strictly controlled. It has been decades since no one has entered this place, because too much viewing will damage the "Jade Jade." The Record itself wreaks havoc."
"Well, I see, Mr. Zuo Sai, can I go in and have a look?" Ivan said, "I can't see clearly here."
He didn't enter this room rashly, he could feel the traces of magic power inside, there were dozens of protection spells and curses.
The goblin had no good intentions at all, and kept standing by the rock looking at Ivan without reminding him.
If he couldn't resist walking into this room, he might suffer.
"Of course." Zuo Sai said, the smile on his face gradually subsided, and he pointed again, "Please, Mr. Mason."
Ai Wen walked in, and behind him, the goblin was staring at him closely, which made people feel bad.
As Zuo Sai said, Aiwen couldn't understand what was written in "Jade Record", which were the most primitive ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
He circled the stone slab twice, then returned to the original spot, making sure that there was no magical aura on it.
Because of Ivan's actions, the goblin sneered.
"Do you still want to continue watching?" Zuo Sai asked softly, and took out the pocket watch again, "I said, you are wasting your time."
Aiwen ignored him. He had read the translated version of "Jade Record" before and compared his memory with the hieroglyphs above.
The surviving "Cuiyulu" contains thirteen concise aphorisms, instructing the reader how to rely on contact with the deep, divine spiritual level, which is the basis of alchemy.
But that's not all of it. Nicole Flamel told him before that the secret of extracting the Philosopher's Stone from all things in the world is not only hidden in "Jade Records".
Only the alchemist who holds the key can know the real secret contained in it.
This key is the "Book of Abraham" on Ivan, which is the most orthodox inheritance of "The Jade Record".
Ivan took a deep breath, concentrated, and gently chanted the first mantra of "The Book of Abraham".
Following his actions, the words on the stone slab gradually changed.
It seemed to sense something, and it began to emit a faint green light, which became more and more obvious.
In the green light, the text on the "Jade Record" appeared a little smoke, slowly floated from the stone slab, and gradually appeared around Aiwen, surrounding him...
Behind Aiwen, the goblin Zuo Sai looked at the picture in surprise, opened his mouth wide, and looked at him in disbelief. Browse and read the address:
