Chapter 133: Finding the Relics
"I've already said there aren't many..."
Bernard said helplessly as he watched Adam drag out the boxes under his bed and open them one by one.
There weren't many indeed, just a Maxim and replacement parts, eight boxes of bullets, half a box of white phosphorus grenades and half a box of stun grenades.
"I didn't expect you to bring non-lethal weapons."
Adam took out a stun grenade and tossed it in his hand.
"After all, in school, if possible, don't kill people for the time being."
Bernard pulled out a book from under his pillow:
"I've been studying wizard law recently, and I think there are many loopholes... cough! There are many places that can be flexible, so I won't be afraid then."
...Why don't you tell me clearly what you're not afraid of then!
Adam's expression was a little subtle, but it wasn't a bad thing for Bernard to study wizard law. By then, he could rely on himself to avoid going to Azkaban, and it would save him... cough, Voldemort would save people.
Based on Adam's understanding of Bernard, although this guy can be tortured and handcuffed, he is still a good person. These means are at most used for self-defense. There is no need to worry about him doing bad things. Let him be.
To be honest, Adam can actually understand this feeling of lack of security after being a Muggle for so many years and suddenly coming to the wizarding world.
Anyway, after checking that there are no other dangerous items in Bernard's arsenal that can blow up the entire dormitory, Adam did not say anything except copying some for himself.
"I'm leaving~"
As soon as the voice fell, Adam disappeared on the spot. Everyone looked at the remaining Adam in the dormitory and hesitated for a while, not knowing what to say.
"Just treat me as Adam these days."
Adam, disguised as the mirror card, showed a gentle smile, which immediately scared the four people:
"No, you... still don't show such a terrifying expression."
Every time Adam comes up with a little trick, he will show such a smile!
Mirror: ? ? ?
Is the world changing too fast, and the smile has become an expression that symbolizes terror?
On the other side, Adam went directly to Egypt, and by the way, he helped Uther visit his relatives and see what the situation was like here.
As soon as he landed, Adam was shocked by the ruins in front of him.
His destination for teleportation was Uther's house!
Fortunately, Adam saw Tuya later. She was angrily saying something to the people around her at the edge of the ruins.
After waiting for a while, Adam found an opportunity:
"Mrs. Tuya?"
Tuya's eyes became sharp in an instant, and a silent spell blasted in the direction of the voice.
The raging fire devoured the gravel, and Adam couldn't help but twitch his eyes.
Although we had agreed on a way to judge the authenticity before, I couldn't help but want to praise Aunt Tuya for being a heroine and decisive.
"Huh~ It's really you, Adam."
Seeing the barrier that remained unshakable under the burning of the Fiendfyre, Tuya waved her wand to put away the Fiendfyre, and frowned in confusion:
"Shouldn't Hogwarts still be in class now? Why are you here?"
"I want to ask, Auntie, do you have any news about the Hanging Gardens? Besides--"
Adam glanced at the ruins not far away:
"What is this...?"
"As you can see, it was attacked."
Tuya looked at the ruins and frowned:
"It's just a desperate move. Don't worry, it will be solved soon... Don't tell Uther."
"Okay."
Adam agreed readily, and as for not telling Uther... He agreed, but Little Cosby and Jing didn't agree.
"The Hanging Gardens... The database does have records about this legendary miracle, but I think you don't want that, but the most recent one... I seem to have some impression, come with me."
Tuya walked a few steps, turned around and found that Adam was gone.
"Auntie, just go ahead. I'll follow you."
Tuya was a little surprised at Adam's ability to disillusion, but she still took Adam all the way to the office of the Minister of Magic.
After closing the door, Tuya looked at Adam, who had revealed his figure, with a complicated look in her eyes.
She had prepared an excuse to trigger the alarm along the way, but Adam really came here with her unimpeded after he became invisible...Adam also has the authority to travel freely in the Ministry of Magic?
Without receiving Tuya's eyes, Adam waited for a while and got the result.
Tuya really has information about the appearance of the ruins of the Hanging Gardens!
From the location point of view, the ruins of the Hanging Gardens are in today's Iraq, and are now surrounded by official and private forces from various countries. Even though the Egyptian Ministry of Magic can't spare any hands, it still sent a team to observe the situation.
Interestingly, according to the news from three days ago, the treasures in the ruins of the Hanging Gardens have not been obtained by anyone yet-to be precise, no one who has entered the ruins of the Hanging Gardens has come out yet.
This is interesting... No one has come out yet, why has someone already targeted Eugene's family?
Anyway, at least the location information of the ruins was obtained. Adam thanked him and disappeared directly on the spot.
Tuya looked at the place where Adam disappeared, with some regret in her eyes. She wanted to ask Adam about Uther's recent situation... Now it seems that Adam is quite busy.
I hope that Uther, the brat, will not cause any trouble.
The location of the ruins of the Sky Garden is not close to any place Adam has been to. Fortunately, Adam has the Flying Card and the Driving Card. The combination of the two makes Adam like to call it the youth version of the Speed Force. If there is no shield to protect Adam, he will even be torn apart by the air around him.
On the fourth day of the journey, Adam held up the shield and sat sideways on the Dark Staff with its wings spread out. While flying, he controlled the shorthand quill to write the homework due on Monday.
Suddenly, a group of tents appeared at the end of Adam's sight, and Adam's eyes fell on the flag above one of the tents.
"The Magical Congress of the United States..."
There is a magic wand in the center of the capital M, which is the flag of the Magical Congress of the United States. Adam couldn't help but complain about how the US military in the wizarding world is everywhere.
While complaining, Adam has already approached the group of tents. With a glance, there are quite a few forces in this area. In addition, there are many small tents without flags. I don't know if they belong to private forces or something else, but Adam has no time to care about these now. Finding Eugene's parents is the first priority.
"On the left side of the mountain, on the right side of the water..."
As far as the eye can see, there is water, but no mountain, not even a small earthen slope.
According to the previous news from the Egyptian Ministry of Magic, no one who entered the ruins has come out yet, obviously...
"Is it really inside the ruins?"
In the center of the tent group, there is a dark hole, and dozens of ropes hang from the hole, extending into the seemingly bottomless hole.
"Do wizards use ropes to descend?"
Adam landed at the hole, took out a candy and threw it forward. The parabola drawn by the candy stopped abruptly above the hole, and it fell directly down instead.
The magic of gravity?
The magic around was not flowing irregularly like other places. Adam immediately thought of the Hanging Gardens, the miracle that floats in the air and never falls to the ground in the legend of the wizarding world.
Suspension and gravity, plus this location, no wonder everyone asserts that this ruins is the former Hanging Gardens.
It was just hard to imagine that the magic of the Hanging Gardens was still working today. Was it someone who was still controlling it, or was it actually some kind of alchemical creation, just like the Gublai Fairy Fire?
Thinking of this, Adam grew wings on his back, and with a light flap, he flew into the cave.
