Hogwarts Crawler

Adam Apparated to the Minister's Office of the Ministry of Magic, and was relieved to see Eugene buried in a pile of documents in a completely normal manner.

"What happened?"

Since Eugene was fine, and obviously Bernard was not in trouble, there was no need to rush.

"Ah, you're here so soon."

Eugene was stunned, looked up at Adam, and after a few seconds he remembered what was going on, picked up the document at hand and handed it to Adam:

"Take a look at this, what should we do?"

"Well? If there is anything, just decide it yourself, why do you have to show it to me..."

Adam opened the document, and the first thing that caught his attention was a picture that almost occupied half of the paper. The scene in the picture made him feel a little familiar:

"Eh? This pit... I seem to have seen it somewhere..."

With Adam's current ability, past memories will not fade under the erosion of time, and the forgotten memories will become clear again, and he will soon find the memory corresponding to the big pit.

"The ruins of the Hanging Gardens?!"

Adam suddenly realized that he had never thought of it before...

It's not that he forgot, but he ignored it. After all, in his impression, this happened several years ago, so it should have been solved, right?

But this file...

"It's been so many years, and the ruins are still being excavated?"

Adam flipped through it from beginning to end, closed the file with a complicated expression, and put it on the table:

"So, the Ministry of Magic's current exploration of the ruins is 0, and the people sent out before have been trapped in the ruins of the Hanging Gardens for several years?"

Ah, this... All the Ministries of Magic in the world are like this?

"Ah, even the last batch of people who entered with the Ministry of Magic of France and Germany have not been heard from for more than two years, and the people before have not sent back any news."

Eugene was also a little helpless. Compared with Adam, he really forgot about this thing. After all, his attention was on his parents and Adam at the time.

If the person who came to him with this file hadn't thought that he would know about the ruins of the Hanging Gardens and explained it to him, he really couldn't remember it.

"...So, what are you doing now? They want you to save people?"

Adam's mouth twitched. It's been so many years, and there's no news at all. It's such a dangerous place, so why save a ghost?

"That's not the case. The Ministry of Magic has long assumed that all those who entered the ruins of the Hanging Gardens were killed."

Eugene shook his head. Even if his parents were trapped in there for two years, he wouldn't have any hope. What's more, for the Ministry of Magic, those people were just colleagues and subordinates.

"So why are they bringing this document to you..."

"To let me decide the Ministry's attitude towards the ruins of the Hanging Gardens."

Eugene spread his hands:

"Although the ruins of the Hanging Gardens have now become a treasure that only eats people in the eyes of the magic ministries of various countries, no one has benefited from it..."

Eugene swallowed his saliva while speaking. The oarfish from the ruins of the Hanging Gardens tasted very good after being fried and stir-fried, and it was also very big.

"Let's eat stir-fried oarfish tonight."

"Okay."

Eugene responded subconsciously and was stunned. How did Adam know what he was thinking?

But Adam seemed to be able to tell what they wanted to eat every time, so it was okay.

Without thinking any more, Eugene continued:

"Although it is generally believed that no one has benefited from the ruins, the treasure that eats people is also a treasure. Obviously, no one wants others to benefit from it. Therefore, the Ministry of Magic of various countries is still stationed near the ruins of the Sky Gardens."

It is frustrating that one's own harvest is not good, but it would be really sad if the Ministry of Magic of other countries gained something. With this idea, the people sent by the Ministry of Magic of various countries have never returned.

The most representative of them is probably the Magical Congress of the United States. The chairman is stationed there with elite troops, just watching who may get the treasure in the ruins.

But being stationed there is obviously also an expense, not to mention the material consumption of those personnel, who were originally formal employees of the Ministry of Magic.

If it was the previous Ministry of Magic, it would be fine, but now that the Ministry of Magic has gone through a round of cleansing, there are a large number of vacancies. Eugene's staff can still only fill about 30% to 40% of the vacancies. If they are recalled, the current staff pressure of the Ministry of Magic can be greatly alleviated.

"Hmm..."

Adam fell into thought. He originally wanted to call him back. Leaving him there would only cost money and bring nothing back. Even if other forces really got the treasure, what would it matter? Could they be stronger than him?

But after listeningWhen it came to Eugene, he hesitated again. Eugene was able to maintain his absolute rule over the Ministry of Magic because the current personnel of the Ministry of Magic were mainly composed of the members of the camp originally led by Eugene and the remaining employees in the Ministry of Magic who had nothing to do with Voldemort's forces.

The former were screened by both the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters, and the remaining ones were basically people who completely trusted Eugene.

The latter almost never occupied a high position in the Ministry of Magic, so they escaped corruption and destruction when the entire magic tribe fell under Voldemort's control, and also developed considerable trust in Eugene in the previous confrontation with Eugene.

But the Ministry of Magic employees stationed next to the ruins of the Sky Gardens were different. They might not even know that so many changes had taken place in the Ministry of Magic, and they had no basis for trusting Eugene. At that time, Eugene's dominance over the Ministry of Magic might decline.

This would not help Eugene's plan to establish a new system in the future, but would interfere with it.

Although Adam can directly dominate the world, he must have a legitimate reason. At the same time, Eugene should maintain a relatively glorious image. If possible, it is best not to leave serious stains during the rule.

Sure enough, Eugene talked about this matter next. The idea he and Bernard initially discussed was to call people back after everything was settled.

"I called you here to tell you about this matter on the one hand, and to find out whether recalling people will cause any serious consequences. If so, we will not call them back."

Eugene knew that Adam's going to the ruins of the Sky Gardens was similar to going to the back garden at that time, but he didn't know whether Adam was trying to make him feel at ease at that time, and he didn't know what was in the ruins of the Sky Gardens. Adam didn't go there to explore the ruins at that time.

If there was really something extraordinary in the ruins of the Sky Gardens, the stationed personnel of the Ministry of Magic didn't have to be called back.

"Well... I don't really know what's in the ruins of the Hanging Gardens. I'll go ask later."

Adam remembered that Professor Dumbledore seemed to know something about the ruins of the Hanging Gardens.

"As for whether it will cause serious consequences, don't worry. No matter what's in it and who gets it, I can solve it."

Adam's words were arrogant, but Eugene only felt a sense of security after hearing them:

"Then it's decided."
