Cardcaptor at Hogwarts
Chapter 455 Sky Garden? Sky Fortress!
Adam could still understand the salty fruit.
It might be because the sky gardens were far from the earth and the water source came from the pool in the sky. The wizards living here lacked salt and supplemented it with this fruit.
Then Adam really couldn't understand the bread that was so hard that it had to be cut with a spell. There were other things to eat in the sky gardens. Could it be that the wizards were too picky to eat soft food?
Let alone the faraway ones, weren't there fish in the pool not far away?
Not long after this doubt came up, Adam knew why wizards didn't eat fish.
"Oh my god, what a smell..."
A wind mixed with fishy, rotten and other smells blew over, and Adam's hair stood on end and he took a step back.
With his current ability, even if a nuclear bomb fell in front of him, he wouldn't feel so terrified, but this smell... I have to say, it's really vicious.
Fortunately, after Adam took a step back, he no longer smelled the smell. He quickly purified the smell on his body for fear of being contaminated, and then looked around to find the direction from which the smell came.
With a target, Adam soon found the suspect.
"What is that...?"
It was a stall with stacked wooden boxes, so Adam didn't find anything wrong at first, but after careful observation, he found that all the wizards on the road naturally avoided the vicinity of that stall.
Looking at the energy reaction around the stall, and thinking back to his experience just now, Adam guessed that it was probably a spell to prevent the spread of the smell.
Adam took a few quick steps to bypass the cover of the box and could see a tall and fat middle-aged man inside. At first glance, he even looked a bit like Hagrid, and he was processing a fish head.
Just that fish head covered the long table in front of the man, and the body of the fish was cut into three pieces and leaned against the box behind the man. The man was using a tool that looked like a small rake to scrape the meat off the fish head. There was a wooden barrel under the table to hold the meat paste.
Seeing this scene, Adam can confirm that the fishy smell obviously comes from this stall.
But recalling the rotten smell in the complex and terrifying smell just now... it is reasonable to speculate that this stall has no anti-corrosion measures at all.
No wonder no wizards patronize it. This fish meat is estimated to have less minerals and trace metal elements than the Ganges water.
But such a big fish... Although it is smaller than those sea monsters, it cannot be raised in the river. Was it caught from the pool above?
Adam scratched his head and completely lost hope for the special food of the sky garden. He came to the sky and looked down at the sky garden that is still in operation.
"Sure enough, in addition to the few magics such as prohibiting flight and anti-phantom shifting that are still in operation in later generations, there are still many magics in the sky garden under normal circumstances."
The magic that keeps the sky garden flying in the air is just one of them. There are also cruise ships throughout the sky garden. Its function is similar to that of the subway. The route and driving time are fixed. You can board the cruise ship when you need it.
Adam also saw how the wizards in the Sky Garden used the crystal derived from the golden giant tree. It turned out to be a portable and movable source of magic power that could be used in some way. The Sky Garden had many alchemical items that matched it.
In addition to daily life, this crystal was probably also the weapon and ammunition of the Sky Garden... The statues located in various places in the Sky Garden were inlaid with this crystal.
Adam could see that it was something similar to the stone statues in Hogwarts, but those statues were wizards holding wands, which made people wonder whether these statues would cast spells after being activated.
And the power that the ancient wizards used to make the four directions submit was also based on this crystal as the energy source.
"I didn't expect that this legendary weapon was actually a piece of clay tablet..."
Standing in the center of the temple, looking at the 27 huge clay tablets in front of him, Adam's expression was a little subtle.
According to Adam's observation and analysis, these clay tablets should be made of many kinds of materials, one of which was a black mineral powder from the temple where Adam was - this entire temple was taken out from a huge black mineral, and the Sky Garden was essentially built around this temple.
While chanting the spell, he used the edges of the crystal as a pen to carve special symbols on the clay tablet. The energy in the crystal would penetrate into the clay tablet in the process, and finally form a spell that was temporarily stored and could be activated at any time.
This ancient spell is not like the short syllable spell that has only become popular now and has become the mainstream in the future. It can even be activated silently when used skillfully. It is the kind of spell that takes half a day to chant.
The thumb-sized symbols are crowded on the clay tablet that is more than three meters wide and more than eight meters long. It is conceivable how long it takes to chant it.
And this kind of spell that can directly drain the physical strength of a wizard of Professor Dumbledore's level, its power can be imagined to be terrible.
Adam saw more than a dozen such old wizards in this temple alone, and there are 27 clay tablets that can instantly cast this ancient spell, plus those statues and the wizards living here...
This is not a sky garden, it is clearly an air fortress!
However, the Hanging Gardens suddenly collapsed two days later. What kind of force could make such an aerial fortress powerless to resist and fall in the blink of an eye, even smashing into the ground?
According to the records, it was because the Hanging Gardens violated the authority of the gods. It couldn't be that Tiamat and Abzu really took action, right?
Adam touched his chin and couldn't help but feel a little interested. To be honest, he really wanted to see what the so-called gods were like.
So in the next two days, Adam walked through every corner of the Hanging Gardens and followed the wizards here to learn the operation of all the facilities in the Hanging Gardens. These technologies will be useful in the future whether they are directly inherited or modified.
In addition, Adam had an unexpected surprise, that is, he happened to encounter the whole process of wizards making a new clay tablet. To be precise, it should be the second half and the first half, which together are the whole process.
At the beginning, Adam saw a wizard engraving words on the finished clay tablet. While engraving, he was actually casting a spell, but he used the clay tablet to save the spell.
Here is Adam's complaint. It stands to reason that this is the Mesopotamian region, and the words on the clay tablet are not cuneiform. He really believed in the evil of those foreigners.
Later, Adam saw the wizards making clay tablets. Not only were there many materials, but the production procedures were also quite complicated. Adam simply copied the semi-finished product before engraving, and solved the problem once and for all.
Unfortunately, before the wizards could engrave the words on the clay tablet, the Hanging Gardens would come to an end...
