Cardcaptor at Hogwarts

"Sky Garden..."

After hearing what Adam said, Professor Grindelwald frowned at first, and then looked at Professor Dumbledore, with a flash of surprise in his eyes:

"So you took me out of Nurmengard because of this? Are you afraid that I would break out of prison and look for you after you find out?"

"Ahem, let's talk about the ruins of the Hanging Garden."

Professor Dumbledore coughed twice and looked at Adam:

"What do you want to know?"

"What do you know about the ruins of the Hanging Garden?"

Adam was just curious about the place and didn't have a clear goal at all, so he simply let them talk first.

"Well..."

Professor Dumbledore frowned and thought for a while. Thinking about it, Adam could go in and out of there at will. Even without his information, it would not prevent him from exploring there. He said that it would also make Adam less likely to be in danger. possible……

While he was still hesitating, Professor Grindelwald spoke first:

"As for the ruins of the Hanging Garden, the records we saw at that time...can't even be said to be records, but stories similar to the story of the three brothers, which said:"

"The greatest group of wizards at that time usurped the power of Absu and Tiamat, and built a wizarding country that would never fall to the ground and have spring all year round. Kings from all directions were prostrate at their feet. The following paragraphs Mixed with damage and stains, it was difficult to tell and could not be connected into words. At the end of the story, it was said that their actions had resulted in divine punishment and they were shot down from the sky. The kingdom of wizards that never fell to the ground has since fallen underground, and the power of God has once again returned. be manifested.”

"Is this so..."

Adam nodded in understanding.

However, there is very little effective information in this story, and it can even be said that there is almost no information.

Thinking about it, this kind of story is similar to the story of the three brothers. Only a small part of it can be believed. For example, the power of God in the story can be completely ignored.

At least so far, Adam has seen the Deathly Hallows and the Scales of Anubis, but he has never seen any gods, and he has not found any powerful power left in those so-called artifacts.

Currently, among the living creatures related to gods, he has only seen a kobold pretending to be Anubis, who is now showing him the gate.

If there really is a god in this world, Adam said, come more, come faster, let him have a taste.

Speaking of the two gods in this story, Absu Adam was not too impressed, but Tiamat...

A huge dragon lady with X-shaped pupils appeared in Adam's mind.

If I remember correctly, they seem to be the creation gods in Mesopotamian mythology?

After telling what he knew, Grindelwald added:

"At that time, I wanted to build a world where wizards would rule from the front. I looked for the Hanging Gardens but there was no clue at all... Is that ruins real?"

Professor Dumbledore glanced at Professor Grindelwald helplessly. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Adam speak:

"Hmm... I actually don't know very well, but there is indeed a powerful magic there."

Adam touched his chin and told his understanding of the ruins of the Hanging Garden. First, the location matched the legend, and then starting from the big hole that prohibited flying, to the tree...

Professor Grindelwald's eyes shone brightly when he heard this, and he was almost certain that this was where the legendary Hanging Garden fell.

But then Professor Grindelwald sighed. He was too old. If there were really ruins of the Hanging Gardens, then he would almost certainly die if he went to explore them.

If time could be turned back, it wouldn't take more than fifty years, and he would definitely have the courage to sacrifice in order to explore the Hanging Garden. But now he is no longer young, and at the end of his life he just wants to give himself some comfort.

As for the ideal of changing the world, he has given it to Adam.

Professor Grindelwald glanced at Adam and couldn't help but smile. Adam's dream was more likely to come true than it was before.

Seeing that Professor Grindelwald really had no idea about the Hanging Garden ruins, Adam nodded secretly, and then asked:

"Professor Grindelwald, what seems to have occurred to you?"

"Well, according to my guess, there is a high probability that there are ruins of the Hanging Garden."

Professor Grindelwald made a hand movement that he often does during lectures:

"As for the valuable parts there, I suggest you explore them... Based on what you said, I think you can focus on the lake you saw when you entered the pit, and the underground area where the giant golden tree is. space."

"Oh? What do you say?"

Adam looked at Professor Grindelwald.

Although his current knowledge of magic is definitely not small, whether it is what he learned when he was learning Crow's magic or the "gift" Crow Rido left for him (gritting his teeth)... they basically only revolve around Magic itself.

As for this kind of experience about the secrets of ancient myths, he is still not as good as Professor Grindelwald and the others, who are well-informed and live a long time. Even Voldemort is far more knowledgeable in this regard than him.

"You said that the bottom of the lake is probably connected to the sea through an underground river. I don't think so. First of all, if it was really a hanging garden in the past, there should not be a lake that is transparent from top to bottom and can directly connect to the underground river after landing."

While speaking, Professor Grindelwald also made a gesture. If what Adam said is true, then what would the original structure of the Hanging Garden look like?

"Secondly, it is a magical ruin, and it is a magical ruin sealed by various magics. It's fine if the Phoenix can teleport in and out, but if a magical animal like Kraken can directly enter and exit by swimming, the blockade there may not be strong enough. As you said, it has troubled the Ministry of Magic of so many countries for so many years.”

Adam nodded, feeling that Professor Grindelwald was right:

"So why do you think there are oarfish and kraken in that lake? It can't be that the animals raised by the wizard of the Hanging Garden have survived to this day, right? Where does their food come from?"

"Perhaps it's true that he has lived since then, or maybe... it's not necessarily that he was just born."

Professor Grindelwald narrowed his eyes and was about to speak when Professor Dumbledore interrupted him:

"Tiamat."

Professor Grindelwald, who had already opened his mouth to tell the answer:?

Ignoring Professor Grindelwald's gaze, Professor Dumbledore made a comeback and expressed his guess. The two of them knew almost the same information about the Hanging Garden, and naturally they came to similar conclusions.

"In mythology, Tiamat, the god of salt water, and Absu, the god of fresh water, gave birth to the gods, and were eventually killed by the gods, and their corpses were used to create heaven and earth."

Professor Dumbledore blinked as he spoke, reached out and pushed away Professor Grindelwald's hand that was poking him with the wand, and continued:

"Regardless of the possibility that the myth is true, if a lake can give birth to various marine creatures, then it does not seem unreasonable to be said to have usurped the authority of Tiamat and Absu."

Adam suddenly realized, and immediately thought of the giant golden tree standing in the crystal world:

"So those liquids of crystalline life..."

"Maybe it has something to do with the lake, or maybe the power of the lake is related to the giant tree, or maybe the power comes from something else. In short... this power that connects liquid and life should be the most precious thing in the hanging garden ruins. "
