Because its construction does not require consideration of mechanics, it is relatively inexpensive as a spectacle.

Many ancient kingdoms built pyramids as symbolic structures.

This was true of ancient Egypt, and it was also true of the Inca Empire in South America.

However, unlike the Egyptian pyramids which served as tombs for pharaohs...

The pyramids of the Inca Empire were mostly used for religious rituals.

Those in power believed that the towering pyramids would facilitate their communication with the heavens.

The most amazing thing about the pyramids is that they are made of stones weighing thousands of tons, and there is no glue between the stones; they are simply stacked and interlocked together.

Muggles find this incredible in ancient times, hence the many different theories about the construction of the pyramids.

Some believe that the construction of the pyramids represents the blood and tears of the ancient Inca people.

Some people believe it was left by aliens.

How the pyramids were built was not a secret to the wizards.

Ancient shamans were very resourceful and had many ideas.

They served those in power, building the pyramids while simultaneously mixing their own agendas into them, using the power of the entire nation to accomplish their own magic.

At least the pyramids of Egypt and the Maya were built in this way.

The four people, marveling at the sight, arrived at the pyramid.

Levin observed the pyramid, searching for traces of where magic had once existed.

Jaina, holding the pointer, searched for the target it pointed to.

Finally, she found a gaunt old man peeking out from the nearby rainforest.

The old man was shirtless, wearing a cloak woven from hundreds of different feathers, and holding a well-worn wooden staff, dressed like an Amazonian native.

When they saw Jaina, they actually waved to them.

The four men went to greet him, and then they heard the old man say:

"Hello everyone, are you wizards from the Kingdom of Yin?"

He speaks fluent English and can even mention the UK; he seems like a fake native.

The four exchanged glances, and in the end, Jaina stepped forward:

"Hello, sir. We are indeed wizards sent by the Ministry of Magic of the Underworld. May I ask if you are the contact person here, 'Hornbill'?"

“That’s right, that’s right, I am ‘Hornbill,’ but you can also call me by my real name, Manco Capac,” the old man said cheerfully.

"Welcome to my territory, you wizards from outside. Now, please come with me to my tribe."

With that, the old man turned around and walked into the depths of the rainforest on his own.

The group exchanged glances and could only follow behind.

After rounding a large tree, the group soon spotted an indigenous tribe.

The people here live in houses built of wood and hay. Around the tribe, many people are logging, washing, and working.

Everyone here bows down and respectfully greets the old man.

Their attitude surprised Levin somewhat.

In the entire tribe, it seemed that only the old man possessed magical energy fluctuations.

This means that everyone else is a Muggle.

How is this going?

Levin stopped an ordinary tribesman and asked him this question using his [Language of Proficiency].

Under the influence of Levin's psychic powers, the tribesmen obediently replied, "Lord Capak is our shaman, and his family has protected this place for generations."

“A shaman?” Levin frowned. “You mean, Manco Capac is the second-in-command here, after the chief?”

“No! The tribe is managed by chiefs, but each chief listens to the shaman Kapak! Kapak is a great and good shaman! His family can communicate with the power of the gods, so that we can have good weather and crops, and the seeds we plant can grow well. Diseases and vengeful spirits will not threaten us.”

The tribesman spoke emotionally, and at the height of his passion, he even trembled and rolled his eyes, behaving like the most fervent believer.

Levin looked around; the other tribespeople seemed to agree with him.

It seems that Capak went to these primitive tribes as a wizard to serve as a shaman.

Does he not care about the International Secrecy Act?

Normally, wizards are not allowed to reveal the existence of magic to Muggles without authorization.

With this question in mind, Levin caught up with his companions.

Chapter 164 Casting a long line to catch a big fish

Levin directly asked old man Capac about this issue.

Then I got this answer: "My family has always been like this."

Then, it was Jaina who explained things to him.

It turns out that the scope of the International Secrecy Law is limited to Muggle countries that have joined the international community, and does not include remote tribes that do not have contact with the outside world.

"Think about it, these small tribes have been isolated from the world for so long, and their shamanic traditions have been maintained for hundreds or even thousands of years. For so many years, they have been able to live a comfortable life thanks to the magic of the shaman. If we forcibly take away the shaman and implement the 'International Law on Secrecy,' who will be to blame if this tribe cannot survive without its shaman?"

Jaina's analysis was logical, well-founded, and convincing.

Levin had no idea that such an exception existed in the wizarding world.

strange."

Next, everyone listened to the old man reminisce about his glorious days at Hogwarts.

It turns out that the Capak family, as shamans in this area, did not live in seclusion like ordinary people.

Since European wizards arrived in the Americas with the Spanish, they have had exchanges with their European counterparts.

For example, their family has sent their children to Hogwarts for generations to learn about the outside world.

After graduating, junior wizards usually find work in the wizarding world of the Underworld, marry wizards there, and have children.

When you get older,

Levin was both amused and exasperated after hearing this.

This is Wakanda, South America.

However, this also made him understand why old man Capac had become the liaison for the Ministry of Magic.

They've worked their way up in the wizarding world of the Underworld.

There are probably quite a few people in the Ministry of Magic who were his old classmates.

In the tribe, Levin and his companions received a warm welcome.

Hirera and the others couldn't speak the indigenous language and didn't know what the tribespeople were saying.

However, Levin discovered through his "Language Proficiency" that, according to the old man Capak, the four of them were actually visiting shamans, messengers of the feathered serpent god.

Indeed, as descendants of the Inca Empire, they worshipped the feathered serpent god Kukulkan in Mayan mythology and Viracocha in Inca mythology.

Levin and his fellow "shamans" also possessed the ability to communicate with Quetzalcoatl.

After hearing his description, Levin also thought it was quite vivid.

The sorcerer society of the Yin Kingdom only has tens of thousands of people in total; essentially, it's just a large tribe.

From this perspective, it wouldn't be wrong to say that Jaina and the others hired by the Ministry of Magic were people who protected the Horde.

At the banquet, the four of them thoroughly enjoyed the local "delicacies".

Perhaps because the shamans had contact with the outside world, the local cuisine here incorporates many cooking techniques from elsewhere.

This resulted in most of the dishes being quite normal, such as desserts made from palm heart, various roasted meats, fried bananas, cassava wine, etc.

The capybara meat was just too fishy; Levin tried to eat it two or three times but couldn't manage it.

Of course, there are also many bizarre dishes that outsiders can't stand. Jaina accidentally ate a dish of roasted leafcutter ants and almost threw up her entire dinner.

On his first night of travel, Levin didn't use the "Mansion Technique," but instead spent the night under the Amazon sky.

The next day, Jaina asked Capac to find the black dragon.

"Don't worry, my tribesmen did see that demon fly by with their own eyes, otherwise I wouldn't have given you this clue," the old man said earnestly. "In a little while, I will personally go with those tribesmen to take you to find that demon."

Dragons do not live in the Amazon rainforest; "demon" is their collective term for those powerful and cruel magical creatures.

An hour later, the four of them, led by Capak and a young tribal man, headed towards a clearing in the rainforest.

"Isn't that the way we came from?" Levin asked curiously.

“I think I saw that pyramid too,” Tonks said.

The young man was chattering away to Capac.

Then Capak turned and said with a smile, "My tribesmen said that the 'demon' flew in that direction, but it disappeared from sight after a short distance, probably falling into the jungle over there."

"I see." The group nodded, accepting his assessment.

In fact, we have no choice but to accept it.

After all, they were all outsiders, and the information about dragons was all in the hands of these local strongmen.

Naturally, whatever they say goes.

Only Levin frowned.

“No, the tribesman wasn’t talking about the location of the black dragon at all; he was asking Capac which way to lead the way.”

"He pointed us in the right direction only after Capac had given him a hint."

"This shows that Capac's claim of being an eyewitness was a complete lie. The idea that the black dragon was hiding in this jungle was purely Capac's own idea."

"He actually took advantage of our lack of knowledge of the local language to fool us. Luckily, he didn't know I had the magic of 'Language Proficiency'."

0???????

"But why would Capac do this? What's his scheme?"
