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 fluttered to the ground. Then, the Tree of Life, which had grown here for who knows how many years, instantly withered, shrank and curled,

Golden flames ignited from the roots, and in the blink of an eye they turned into a handful of black ashes.

Black ashes fell on the ground, and a breeze blew from nowhere, spreading them all over the garden. Like fire falling into the forest, all the exotic flowers and plants were burned out. Ike stood there, looking away.

It wasn't hurt at all.

Looking at the scorched earth around him, and then at the still full Life Fruit in his hand, Ike pinched it unconsciously with his fingers, and the ripples on the fruit kept rippling. He put it in his pocket, waved his wand, and a soft white light spread, blowing

Black ash was scattered all over the ground, leaving only a clean stone path in the garden, but the inexplicable flames that had just been ignited even burned the soil cleanly.

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

"bite!"

An almost inaudible sound came to Ike's ears. He looked up and saw a black spot in the blue sky, with a golden thread standing on it. Seeing this, Ike waved the magic wand in his hand, and a golden line appeared on it.

The threads converged instantly and hit the black spot in unison.

"Ka, ka, ka..."

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 scatter the golden threads. Then, he watched helplessly as the cracks in the sky quickly disappeared and returned to their original appearance.

He tossed the life fruit and put it on the stone slab. He opened the suitcase that 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, and I walked out normally. When I stepped out of the tower gate, what I saw in front of me was no longer the yellow sand that I saw when I entered. Instead, there was a winding and rushing river, but I didn’t know it was the Tigris River.

It's just the Euphrates River.

Turning his head, the Tower of Babel was slowly becoming transparent, and soon it disappeared from sight. Ike waved his hand and cast off a magic spell to hide himself, and another chair appeared. He sat on it, and his notebook and quill had already fallen on it.

in hand.

"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 let's keep it at your place for a while and then 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. When he returned to the hotel, the sun had not yet set. He soaked himself in the bathtub and took a comfortable bath. The box containing the life fruit was placed next to him. He glanced at it, but

I don't want to open it at all.

The experience in the Tower of Babel was very magical, and there were indeed many traces of ancient magic, especially the place where time stood still, which was beyond Ike's imagination and knowledge. The last garden was not bad either, with strange flowers.

The grass and the magical tree of life complement each other and create a dreamy atmosphere.

But because of this, Ike felt a little uneasy. He 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. Later 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 this fruit is real, it will not make up for his missing soul.

If you think about it carefully, nothing has changed.

The next day, just like in Greece, Ike spent a day exploring the city and boarded a plane to Amman in the evening. His next stop was Egypt, but direct flights from Baghdad to Cairo only occurred a few times a week.

I had to make a connecting flight in Jordan, which didn't waste much time.

In the early morning, 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 8 o'clock in the morning and then squinted for a while. After landing, he went straight to the hotel, opened a room and entered

He 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 about nine o'clock in the evening. When I woke up again, the artificial jet lag was gone. Although I was still a little tired, it didn't hurt.

When arriving in Egypt, the must-see is naturally the pyramids. This time Ike hired a private tour guide to take him to visit 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 finishing the tour and 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 a use of magic, and the essence is still the same.

But along the way, Ike didn't notice any fluctuations in magic power.

It's not impossible. It's normal for a few security personnel to have magic fluctuations on their bodies. How could there be no wizards to guard such an occasion? Even if they have removed all the magic from the pyramid, they are still needed.

What's more, Ike thinks 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, and 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.
