Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 250 The Legendary Reflection
They came and went in a hurry, as if it was just a chance meeting of two people who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they parted naturally after exchanging pleasantries.

But Ike knew very well that since he left Hogwarts, all the meetings with Dumbledore were the plan of this white-bearded old wizard.This was the case in the Prophecy Hall of the Department of Mysteries, and it was the same in Athens this time.

In any case, Dumbledore will not let things go out of his plan, and now that Ike has this sign, he needs to confirm what Ike thinks now.

To some extent, the two greatest wizards in the world are similar in character, and they both have a strong desire to control.The difference is that Lao Fu believes in the power of magic, especially what he has mastered, while Dumbledore believes in humanity and the human heart.

You know, as early as the first grade, Ike had already made an unbreakable oath with Dumbledore that he would never harm Hogwarts, but this did not affect Lao Deng's use of various methods to test Ike inner thoughts.

A cloudy and mistsy conversation that seemed to be pointing and probing ended very flatly. Dumbledore left quietly, but Ike waited until the sun completely disappeared below the sea level before turning back leisurely.After eating a special Greek meal, sleeping comfortably in the hotel, I checked out the next day, went straight to the airport, and got on the plane to Baghdad.

Just as Dumbledore probes his thoughts, Ike judges whether what he says is true or not.There is Occlumency, the former has never been successful, the latter is easy to do.

Istanbul, or in other words, the secret treasure of Constantinople has indeed disappeared, so there is no need to go there, so I simply went straight to Baghdad to find perhaps the most important and most magical treasure of this trip - the tree of life fruit, but before that, he needs to find a legendary location.

Tower of Babel.

It is said that the most magnificent building of the Babylonian Dynasty is a miracle that shocked even God.It soars into the sky and can be seen from anywhere in the world.

This is a legend in the secular world, and according to Lao Fu, the Tower of Babel may be the gathering place of ancient Babylonian wizards, so it also has another name of "God's Gate".

"You will see the traces of time and the greatness of ancient wizards, and at the top of the tower, the garden rippling among the clouds will drive you crazy..."

"If I got it back then, maybe..."

Ike had never seen the lonely expression on Lao Fu's face when he said this. It is conceivable how precious and miraculous the miraculous things here are.

The difficulty is also extremely high. Those wizards who have found the Tower of Babel are very few, and those who can really get the fruit of the tree of life are even rarer. When most of them finally come to the miraculous tree of life, they cannot touch it at all. fruit on the tree.

It's like a phantom, you can see it, but you can't touch it.

Ike wasn't sure if he was one of those few people, but he had to give it a try.

The environment in Baghdad cannot be compared with that in Athens. The special historical environment and humanistic society make him not so free.These are not difficult for a wizard, the difficulty is how to find the Tower of Babel.

Lao Fu did not give an answer. According to him, the location of the Tower of Babel is not fixed, it is like a ghost, wandering in the land of the ancient Babylonian Kingdom.Maybe you can see it as soon as you go out, or it may be hidden in the boundless desert.

No rules, completely a game of chance.

After a day in Baghdad, Ike embarked on a search journey with his suitcase the next day.

In ancient times, this was a land of miracles. The plain formed by the impact of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers gave birth to a splendid civilization. When the power of magic shone on this land, the British Isles were still barren and occupied by magical creatures. The place.

No one knows exactly how many wizards lived here, and those wizards left behind magic that still works today.Just the legends that have been handed down are enough to know a thing or two.

There is a guess: the Garden of Eden is in this land...

Traveling along the Tigris River, under the effect of the Muggle banishment spell, no one noticed Ike.From north to south, across the river bank and from south to north, Ike found nothing.Going to the Euphrates again, and doing the same thing again, still no progress.

After spending a week but getting nothing, Ike is inevitably a little irritable. There is almost no trace of magic in this land, and even wizards have not seen a few.

The Muggle War still had a great impact on wizards.

He had already secretly believed what Lao Fu said, finding the Tower of Babel still depends on luck.On this point, Ike has no confidence at all, and the tragedy of drawing cards in the past seems to have not changed in any way because he changed his birthplace.

A week, two weeks, and half a month passed, and Ike was a little numb.Time has changed this land, green plants disappear, yellow sand is everywhere, the hot weather scorches the ground, and there are not even any clouds in the sky.

Although these bad weather won't affect him in any way, it's inevitable that his mood will get worse.

In August, the temperature has risen a bit, the air seems to be distorted, and the luck seems to have changed.When he saw the looming quaint tower in the sky in the distance, Ike didn't hesitate, and galloped away in the right direction.

Another day passed, and when he finally stood at the foot of the Tower of Babel, he was immediately amazed by this miraculous creation that was thousands of years old.

There is not a hint of heat at all, and the breeze brings humidity and coolness.The stone gate more than ten meters high was a bit incomplete, half open, and the scene inside could be seen faintly.

Stepping in, the hall as wide as a square greets your eyes. The floor is unexpectedly clean, and the stone ladder clinging to the wall rotates upwards. When you look up, there are clouds blocking your sight, and you can't see the end.

There are obvious traces of wind erosion on the stone stairs, without edges and corners, and it is no longer smooth, and there are even missing places, so you have to be careful when walking on it.

Ike didn't use magic to speed up. From the moment he stepped here, he noticed the ancient magic restriction here. After he finally walked through the long stone ladder to the second floor of the tower, there were more restrictions, even the magic power The operation is not so flexible.

It got better on the third floor, and the restriction seemed to be damaged, but it got worse when it went up.Fortunately, even though his control over magic power is not so sensitive, it does not affect his use of magic power to relieve physical fatigue.

After all, it is almost impossible to climb this towering tower with only two legs.

Climbing quietly like this, dilapidated scenes emerged one after another along the way, the higher the height, the more serious it was, as if a fierce battle had taken place.But when he passed through the clouds, everything changed.

The part above the clouds doesn't seem to have changed at all, as if it remained the same as it was thousands of years ago.There were hangings inlaid with gold thread, and a wooden table that exuded a charming fragrance, and on it stood a white flower in full bloom in an earthen vase.

The wand quietly fell into his hand, feeling the magic power in his body. Fortunately, there was no trace of stagnation, which gave Ike a little confidence.

Something is wrong here. Ike, who has used and studied the Time Converter, has a guess in his heart:
Time seems to have stood still here.
