Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 252 Something is wrong

Stretching out his hand towards the red fruit, very slowly and carefully, until his fingers really touched the cool life fruit, Ike's tense nerves relaxed.

With a little force on the fingers, the fruit of life fell into the hand, and the two tenacious leaves suddenly turned yellow, withered, and fell to the ground.Then, the tree of life that had grown here for an unknown number of years withered instantly, shriveled and curled, golden flames ignited from the roots, and turned into a handful of black ash in the blink of an eye.

Black ash fell on the ground, and a breeze came from nowhere and scattered them all over the garden.Like a kindling falling into the forest, all the exotic flowers and plants are burned out.Ike stood where he was, not hurt at all.

Looking at the scorched earth around him, and at the still full life fruit in his hand, Ike's fingers pinched unconsciously, and the ripples on the fruit kept rippling.Putting it in the pocket, flicking the wand lightly, a soft white light diffused, blowing away the black ash all over the place, leaving only a clean stone path in the garden, but the inexplicable flame that ignited just now even burned the soil clean.

The wand waved again, and he stepped on the stone slab suddenly, a huge golden magic circle suddenly appeared, and countless golden threads stood in the sky.

"Ding!"

A barely audible sound came into Ike's ears. He looked up, and there was a black dot in the blue sky, and a golden line was on top of it.Seeing this, Ike waved his wand in his hand, and the golden threads gathered in an instant, hitting the black spot in unison.

"Crack, click, click..."

As if a piece of glass was about to shatter because it couldn't bear the heavy pressure, there were also spider web-like cracks in the sky, spreading rapidly to the surroundings.

Seeing this, Ike smiled, put away his wand calmly, and waved away the golden thread.After that, he watched helplessly as the cracks all over the sky quickly disappeared, and he returned to his original appearance.

Throwing the life fruit, he casually placed it on the slate.He opened the suitcase he had been carrying, took out a small box, put the fruit of life in it, and stuffed it into his pocket.

Taking another look at the wasteland-like garden, Ike turned around and walked directly down the tower.

On the way back, I didn't encounter any strange things, and walked out very normally.Stepping out of the tower gate, the front is no longer the yellow sand when you entered, but a winding and rushing river, but I don’t know whether it is the Tigris or the Euphrates.

Turning his head, the Tower of Babel was slowly becoming transparent, and it disappeared before his eyes after a while.Ike waved a wave of magic to hide himself, and another chair appeared, sat on it, and the notebook and quill were already in his hands.

"I found the fruit of life."

"Very good, how do you feel?"

"There is only the last one left, which has been well preserved and will be dedicated to you when I see you."

"Then put it in your place for a while, and give it to me when we meet."

"Okay, teacher."

After waiting for a while, there was no new writing on the notebook, so Ike put them away.He waved his hand to remove the magic, took out a pocket watch from his pocket and looked at the time, it was past four o'clock in the afternoon.

After a little recognition of the direction, he walked directly in the direction of Baghdad.

The speed of going back will be much faster, and the sun has not yet set when he returns to the hotel.Soaked himself in the bathtub and took a comfortable bath, and the box containing the fruit of life was placed beside him.I looked at it, but didn't want to open it at all.

The experience in the Tower of Babel is very magical, and there are indeed many traces of ancient magic, especially the place where time is stagnant, which is beyond Ike's imagination and cognition.The final garden is not bad either. Exotic flowers and plants complement each other with the magical tree of life, creating a dreamy atmosphere.

But also because of this, Ike felt a little uneasy, and couldn't tell what was wrong, but simply felt that this place shouldn't be like this.

Compared with what he saw with his own eyes, Ike trusted his feelings more, and later experiments proved that the place was indeed abnormal.He would not eat the fruit obtained in this kind of place.

So, let's leave it to Lao Fu, who has permanently lost a fragment of his soul, even if this fruit is real, it will not make up for his missing soul.

When you think about it, nothing has changed.

The next day, as in Greece, Ike spent a day in the city and boarded a plane to Amman in the evening.His next stop is Egypt, but there are only a few direct flights from Baghdad to Cairo a week, so he has to stop in Jordan once, which doesn't waste much time.

In the early hours of the morning, when the plane landed, Ike didn't even leave the airport. He bought a ticket to Cairo directly, and waited until he boarded the plane at eight o'clock in the morning before squinting for a while.After landing, I went straight to the hotel, opened the room, went into the room and fell asleep, and didn't wake up until late at night.

I didn't go out the next day, and I read and watched TV in the house to pass the time until after nine o'clock in the evening before finally lying down.When I woke up again, the man-made jet lag was gone. Although I was still a little tired, it didn't hurt.

When you arrive in Egypt, you must see the pyramids.This time, Ike invited a private tour guide to lead him to visit the Sphinx and the Pyramid of Khufu, and even went inside.

You only need to pay for a ticket, which is very convenient.

The tour guide introduced in a low voice, walking slowly in front, and Ike followed behind, watching very carefully.After the tour, Ike left the scenic spot after paying a considerable tip to the tour guide.

Without going too far, I randomly found a coffee shop outside the scenic spot and ordered a cup of coffee, and then quietly looked at the towering pyramids in the distance.

"It's really clean..." Ike thought to himself.

Just now he was not only looking at those cultural relics, but also carefully sensing the possible magic fluctuations.Although the magic of ancient Egypt is very different from that of Europe, they are both a kind of use of magic power, and the essence is still the same.But along the way, Ike didn't notice any fluctuations in magic power.

It's not impossible, there are a few security personnel who have magic power fluctuations, which is normal. How can there be no wizard guarding this kind of occasion?Even if they have removed all the magic of the pyramid, it is still needed.

What's more, Ike felt that they probably didn't really remove all the curses and magics of the pyramids. Just think about the few pyramids that Gringotts is still dealing with. It is not a simple solution.

It doesn't matter, Ike didn't come here for the legendary curses and magical spells, but simply felt that a trip to Egypt without seeing the pyramids was a waste of time, purely for fun.

His purpose was not here. He came to Cairo only because it was more convenient to go to the Red Sea from here.

There is the place where Moses divided the sea.
