Hogwarts Crawler - Chapter 455
All chapter are in Hogwarts CrawlerIt 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 the 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-apparition 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 that could be used in some way. The Sky Garden had many alchemical items that matched it.
In addition to daily use, 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 also used 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 twenty-seven 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 is a black mineral powder that comes from the temple where Adam is located - the entire temple was dug out from a huge piece of black mineral, and the Sky Garden was essentially built around this temple.
While chanting the spell, use the edges and corners of the crystal as a pen to carve special symbols on the clay tablet. The energy in the crystal will penetrate into the clay tablet in the process, and finally form a spell that is temporarily stored and can 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 later generations. It can even be activated silently when used skillfully, but it is a spell that takes half a day to chant.
ThumbFinger-sized symbols were densely packed on the clay tablet that was more than three meters wide and eight meters long. It was conceivable how long it would take to recite it.
And this kind of spell that could directly drain the physical strength of a wizard of Professor Dumbledore's level, its power could be imagined to be terrible.
Adam saw more than a dozen such old wizards in this temple alone, and there were 27 clay tablets that could instantly cast this ancient spell, plus those statues and the wizards living here...
This is not a sky garden, it is clearly a sky fortress!
However, the sky garden suddenly fell in two days. What kind of power would make such a sky fortress powerless to resist, fall in the blink of an eye, and even smash into the ground?
According to the records in the classics, it was because the sky garden 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 Sky Gardens, and learned the operation of all the facilities in the Sky Gardens from the wizards here. 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 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 text on the clay tablet is not cuneiform. He really believed in the evil of those foreigners.
Later, Adam saw the wizards making clay tablets again. Not only are there many materials, but the production procedures are also quite complicated. Adam simply copied the semi-finished products before engraving, once and for all.
Unfortunately, before the wizards could engrave on this clay tablet, the Sky Gardens would usher in its end...
