Chapter 54: Expedition (3)

"Is that the entrance you could find?" asked Nahuen looking at the space that William pointed to, both had climbed up to see the hole "the protective curse is not present here of that there is no doubt, now it only remains to warn the rest so we can follow the path.

Soon they were all gathered once again and began to go through the hole helping each other.

Once inside everyone could see the strange corridor they were in, everything was full of dust, debris and spider webs.

"Alright, now we are inside, we passed the first test of this expedition and we can move on to the treasures that no one else has found in the past."

Everything inside the pyramid was dark, but for the wizards of Castelobruxo this was not a problem, the cat's eyes enchantment solved this inconvenience. They went through the entire corridor of the second floor without finding any kind of life, so there were not many dangers.

William used his mind's eye to know the locations of the traps but on the second floor there were hardly any traps, not only were they not wizard traps but they were meant to murder Muggles if they managed to get in.

"As expected from ancient civilizations, they did not contemplate wizards almost at all after all in Latin America a wizard was a symbol of power and nobility" Anana explained as she triggered a trap where a large rock fell from the ceiling "no danger for experienced wizards, even for students like us this is nothing..."

"This time we will split into groups of three to explore the second floor, keep a distance of twenty meters from each other, we don't want there to be any losses and if you encounter problems then send a signal, you can explore."

When the instructions were handed out everyone began to separate into groups and began to search the surrounding area for anything of value to call this expedition successful.

As William walked he kept his mind's eye always active to know what was in the surroundings, on the second floor there was nothing special until the moment he entered a room like any other, he had deactivated the mind's eye to see things with his own eyes again, then as he looked at a wall beside him he could see in detail something he had seen only in his past life while surfing the internet.

"The Dresden codex" he muttered under his breath touching the figures on the wall "but it's impossible... the codex should be on display in the Saxon state library of the state of Dresden. Even if it wasn't that way then at least it should have been sent to Vienna why is it here too?"

William looked at the drawings closely in his memories it should be much more deteriorated, but the images were in impeccable condition.

"Clothes of the deities, the sacrifice of Jun Ajaw, the invocation of the deities and the preparation of the prophecies... all these things were supposed to be fake, but the magic in my ancient world was also fake..." William shook his head to push those strange thoughts away, he didn't need to think about complicated things right now "let's keep reading, I don't think I can carry the whole wall with me"

"Venus chart, solar eclipse chart, it's just as I remember it, even more detailed than before as it has no imperfections, I really wish I could take it to ca.... What is this?" William had walked almost all the way down the hallway reading what was on the wall "this wasn't on the internet."

On the drawn wall was a moon at the top there were several humans kneeling at the bottom, the geoglyphs were almost impossible to read for a person like William it was true and he had no support from his past memories to guide him instead the drawings could support him.

The drawing that William was looking at had even more secrets since in the center there was a strange white mask as if it was made of wood.

William kept looking at the strange page of the codex that was not in the version he remembered, but there was no how to understand then he went back a couple of steps and noticed it, everything contained in the tablet was inside small lines that drew the pyramid he was in.

"If what I think is correct then the mask must be an important possession and I hope it is still inside the pyramid, I just hope we can find it" he turned around and left the room, he had to gather the members of the dueling club to discuss the possibility of the treasure, then when he activated his mind's eye again he noticed that the life signatures inside the pyramid were different.

"Shit, we were followed..." followed Anana's life signature and rushed over to warn, all the club members were immediately assembled.

"Apparently we were followed during our trip .... someone could have betrayed us or betrayed us, the truth is that we do not know the identity of our pursuers and their intentions, it is best to return to Castelobruxo, we can not take risks even if we really want the treasures".

"Even so we will not be able to return" William pointed out from among all the members "they have the entrance guarded from the intruders"

"That's news... a bit unfortunate" Anana looked at Nahuen who only raised his shoulders "we will have to find a way out of this place, even so we are members of the dueling club, there are not many students inside Castelobruxo that are more prepared than us to defend ourselves from the dark arts and apparently it's time to prove it, I just hope the cloaks of our uniforms are not just for decoration"

"Let's kick the asses of all those who oppose us."

"Let's show the capabilities of Castelobruxo's students."

"Let's go all out"
