Magical Studies at Hogwarts

He reached out to the red fruit very slowly and carefully. It wasn't until his fingers actually touched the cool life fruit that Ike's tense nerves relaxed.

With a little force of his fingers, the Life Fruit fell into his hand. The two stubborn leaves suddenly turned yellow, withered, and fell to the ground.Then, the tree of life, which had grown here for who knows how many years, dried up in an instant, shrank and curled, golden flames ignited from the roots, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a handful of black ashes.

Black ash fell on the ground, and a breeze blew from nowhere, spreading it all over the garden.Like fire falling into the forest, all the exotic flowers and plants burned up.Ike stood there, not hurt at all.

Looking at the scorched earth around him, and then at the still full Life Fruit in his hand, Ike's fingers unconsciously pinched it, and the ripples on the fruit kept rippling.Putting it in his pocket, he waved the wand lightly, and a soft white light spread, blowing away the black ash everywhere. There was only a clean stone path left in the garden, but the inexplicable flames that had just been ignited even burned the soil.

The wand was waved again, and with a sudden step on the stone slab, a huge golden magic circle suddenly appeared, with countless golden threads standing in the sky.

"Ding!"

An almost inaudible sound reached Ike's ears. He looked up and saw a black spot in the blue sky, with a golden line standing on it.Seeing this, Ike waved the magic wand in his hand, and the golden threads instantly gathered together and hit the black spot.

"Crack, click, click..."

As if a piece of glass was about to break due to being unable to withstand the heavy pressure, spider web-like cracks appeared in the sky, quickly spreading to the surroundings.

Seeing this, Ike smiled, put away his wand calmly, and waved his hand to disperse the golden thread.Then, he watched helplessly as the cracks in the sky quickly disappeared and returned to their original appearance.

He tossed the life fruit and placed it on the stone slab.He opened the suitcase he had been carrying, took out a small box, put the Life Fruit in it, and stuffed it into his pocket.

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

I didn't encounter anything strange on the way back, I walked out normally.When I stepped out of the tower gate, I saw in front of me no longer the yellow sand that I saw when I entered. Instead, I saw a winding and rushing river. I just didn't know whether it was the Tigris River or the Euphrates River.

Turning around, the Tower of Babel was slowly becoming transparent, and soon it disappeared from sight.Ike waved a magic spell to hide himself, and another chair appeared. He sat on it, and the notebook and quill fell into his hands.

"I found the fruit of life."

"Very good, how do you feel?"

"Only the last one is left. It has been well preserved and will be dedicated to you when I see you."

"Then keep it at your place for a while and give it to me when we meet."

"Okay, teacher."

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

After briefly identifying the direction, he walked directly in the direction of Baghdad.

He went back much faster, and the sun had not yet set by the time he returned to the hotel.I soaked myself in the bathtub and took a comfortable bath. The box containing the life fruit was placed next to it.I glanced at it, but I didn't want to open it at all.

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

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

Ike trusted his own feelings more than what he saw with his own eyes, and subsequent attempts proved that that place was indeed abnormal.He would not eat the fruits obtained in such a place.

Therefore, it is better to leave it to Lao Fu. Lao Fu has permanently lost a piece of his soul. Even if the fruit is real, it will not make up for his missing soul.

If you think about it, nothing has changed.

The next day, just like in Greece, Ike spent a day exploring the city and then boarded a plane to Amman in the evening.His next stop was Egypt, but there were only direct flights from Baghdad to Cairo a few times a week, so he had to transfer once in Jordan, which didn't waste much time.

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

I didn't go out the next day. I read and watched TV in the house to pass the time until I finally lay down at around nine o'clock in the evening.When I woke up again, the artificial jet lag was better. Although I was still a little tired, it didn't hurt.

When you come to Egypt, the must-see is of course the pyramids.This time Ike hired a private tour guide to take him to the Sphinx and the Pyramid of Khufu, and also went inside.

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

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

We didn’t walk too far, so we randomly found a coffee shop outside the scenic area and ordered a cup of coffee, 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 the cultural relics, but also carefully sensing the possible magic fluctuations.Although the magic of ancient Egypt is very different from the magic of Europe, they are both an application 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. Several security personnel have magic power fluctuations on their bodies, which is normal. How could there be no wizards guarding such an occasion?Even if they had removed all the magic from the pyramid, it would still be needed.

What's more, Ike feels that they may not have really removed all the curses and magic from the pyramids. Just think about the several pyramids that Gringotts is currently dealing with. You will know that the curses of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs and the magic of the high priests can be It cannot be solved simply.

It didn't matter. Ike didn't come here for the legendary curses and magical powers. He simply felt that a trip to Egypt without seeing the pyramids would be a waste of time. It was just for fun.

This was not his purpose. He came to Cairo just because it was more convenient to get to the Red Sea from here.

That's where Moses parted the sea.
