Hogwarts Crawler

"The Sky Gardens..."

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

"So you took me out of Nurmengard because of this? Afraid that I would escape from prison and look for it after I found out?"

"Ahem, let's talk about the Sky Gardens ruins."

Professor Dumbledore coughed twice and looked at Adam:

"What do you want to know?"

"What do you know about the Sky Gardens ruins?"

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

"Hmm..."

Professor Dumbledore frowned and thought for a while. Adam could enter and exit there at will. Even without his information, it would not prevent him from exploring there. If he said it, Adam would be less likely to encounter danger...

While he was still hesitating, Professor Grindelwald spoke first:

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

"The greatest group of wizards at that time usurped the power of Abzu and Tiamat, and constructed a wizarding kingdom that never landed and was like spring all year round. Kings from all directions prostrated themselves at their feet. The following paragraphs were mixed with broken pieces and stains, and it was difficult to distinguish and almost impossible to connect words. At the end of the story, it said that their actions incurred divine punishment and they were shot down from the sky. The wizarding kingdom that never landed has been sleeping underground since then, and the power of God has been demonstrated again."

"Is that so..."

Adam nodded to show that he understood.

However, there is so little useful information in this story, or even almost nothing.

Come to think of it, this kind of story is similar to the story of the three brothers, and only a small part of it can be believed, such as the great power of the gods 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, nor has he found any powerful power left from those so-called artifacts.

Currently, he has only seen a dog-headed man pretending to be Anubis, who is now showing him the door.

If there are gods in this world, Adam said that more and faster ones should come, so that he can taste the saltiness.

Speaking of the two gods in this story, Abzu Adam did not have a deep impression, but Tiamat...

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

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

After saying what he knew, Grindelwald added:

"At that time, I wanted to build a world ruled by wizards. I looked for the Sky Gardens but there was no clue... Is that ruin real?"

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

"Well... I'm not really sure, but there is indeed a powerful magic there."

Adam touched his chin and told his understanding of the Sky Gardens ruins. First, the location matched the legend, and then from the big hole where flying was prohibited, to the big lake below, the strange plants, the poisonous insects, the crystals and the golden giant trees below...

Professor Grindelwald's eyes lit up when he heard it. He was almost sure that it was the place where the legendary Sky Gardens fell.

But then Professor Grindelwald sighed. He was too old. If there were really the Sky Gardens ruins, then he would almost certainly die if he explored them.

If time could go back, it would only take 50 years, and he would definitely have the courage to sacrifice himself to explore the Sky Gardens. But now he is no longer young, and at the end of his life he just wants to comfort himself.

As for the ideal of changing the world, he has already handed it over to Adam.

Professor Grindelwald glanced at Adam and couldn't help but smile. The possibility of Adam's dream coming true was much greater than his original one.

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

"Professor Grindelwald, you seem to have thought of something?"

"Well, according to my guess, there is a high probability that it is the Sky Gardens ruins."

Professor Grindelwald made a hand gesture that he often made during his lectures, no, in class:

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

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Adam lookedTo Professor Grindelwald.

Although his current magical knowledge is definitely not small, whether it is what he learned when studying Craw's magic or the "gift" left by Craw Ridge for him (gritting his teeth)... they are basically only about magic itself.

As for this kind of experience about the secrets of ancient myths, he is still not as knowledgeable as Professor Grindelwald and others who have lived a long life. Even Voldemort's knowledge in this regard is far greater than his.

"You said that the bottom of the lake is probably connected to the sea through an underground river, but I don't think so. First of all, if it is really the former Sky Garden, 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 gestured. If what Adam said is true, what would the original structure of the Sky Garden look like?

"Secondly, it is a magical relic, and it is a magical relic blocked by various magics. It's okay for the Phoenix to teleport in and out, but if a magical animal like the Kraken can directly enter and exit by swimming, the blockade there may not be as strong as What you said has stumped the Ministries of Magic in so many countries for so many years.

Adam nodded, thinking that what Professor Grindelwald said made sense:

"So why do you think there are oarfish and kraken in that lake? It can't be that the animals raised by the wizards in the Sky Gardens have survived until now? Where do their food come from?"

"Maybe they have really lived from that year to now, or maybe... they are just born."

Professor Grindelwald narrowed his eyes and was about to speak when Professor Dumbledore got the upper hand:

"Tiamat."

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

Ignoring Professor Grindelwald's gaze, Professor Dumbledore, who had made a comeback, expressed his guess. The information they knew about the Sky Gardens was almost the same, and the conclusions they came to were naturally similar.

"In mythology, the saltwater god Tiamat and the freshwater god Abzu gave birth to the gods, and were eventually killed by the gods, and their bodies were used to create the world."

Professor Dumbledore blinked while speaking, stretched out his hand to push away Professor Grindelwald's hand that was poking him with his wand, and continued:

"Apart from the possibility that the myth is true, if a lake can give birth to all kinds of marine life, then it seems that it has usurped the authority of Tiamat and Abzu."

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

"So the liquid in those crystal lives..."

"Maybe it is related to the lake, or maybe the power of the lake is related to the giant tree, or the power comes from other sources. In short... this power that connects liquid and life should be the most precious thing in the ruins of the Sky Gardens."
