Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 677 Remnants of Ancient Civilization

The Mesopotamian Plain is a land that has been full of chaos since ancient times.

Here, there have been oppression, resistance, reunification, and disintegration. Whether it is Muggles or wizards, the local people have been wandering in chaos since ancient times, and there have been waves of conquests, both overt and under.

For Muggles, there have been cultural and legal works such as "Epic of Gilgamesh" and "Code of Hammurabi", as well as "Assyrian King Palace" and "Babylon Hanging Garden". A flourishing civilization footprint.It can be seen that even in the unspeakable chaos, there will be grand historical traces born.

Therefore, in the Mesopotamian plains of Mesopotamia, the mood of Muggles is usually complicated.

But to the wizard, the little trouble in the Muggle world is nothing at all.

In a certain period of BC, there was a tall tower to the sky in this area, and the Muggles later called it the "Tower of Babel."At that time, this huge tower was actually a testament to the friendship between the Babylonian royal family and the wizards, and it was a civilizational wonder built by Muggles and wizards.

According to the literature, this extremely high towering tower stands in the Kingdom of Babylon, allowing the citizens of the kingdom to see it anywhere in the country.

However, this beautiful proof of the harmony between Muggles and wizards was destroyed by the war between Muggles and wizards.

That year, the Persians attacked Babylon, and the Persian wizards held back the Babylonian wizards.A terrible war didn’t last long, and the peaceful Babylonian kingdom could not resist the advance of the Persians... .

Facts have proved that blindly cherishing peace will not last long after all.The destruction of the Kingdom of Babylon and the collapse of the Tower of Heaven were actually caused by the cracks in people’s hearts. Some of the wizards of Babylon’s own country were not satisfied with gradually moving towards an empty peace. Those guys opened the door to the Persian invasion and directed the opponent’s army Put it in.

Wizards are also humans, so they will have greed and desire for profit, and naturally they will also betray.If we change the direction, we can actually call this betrayal "unwilling."

Unfortunately, people occasionally have the courage to be unwilling, but they may not have the ability to rewrite it at the same time.

Judging from the results of the magic world, the actions of those so-called "betrayers" failed.Because after that, the wizards in this land have never made more dazzling progress than that in that era. Instead, they have lost a lot of magic inheritance in a series of rough wars.

So at least, those wizards who were both "betrayers" and "losers" eventually became a generation of sinners in the ancient magic world.

Today, more than two thousand years have passed.Even afterwards, the remaining descendants of the wizards suddenly came to their senses and worked hard from generation to generation in order to pick up the glory of the past.However, just collecting pieces of missing ancient documents has become a path of asceticism with no end in sight. What is left of their future?

This time, when the International Alchemy Competition at Hogwarts blew a hurricane in the global magical world, the wizards of this region finally had to admit that in this age, everything that originated from their ancestors Pride, nostalgia, regret, and unwillingness have all gone by.

They should also let go.

If I have to say, in fact, most of the alchemy in Europe and Africa originated in Mesopotamia.But this origin is destined to be left in history. If they want to rebuild their glory, they must go to other more advanced magical regions to absorb the essence, abandon their own arrogance and isolation, and appreciate the latest in modern magic. landscape.

Of course, even if they plan to sincerely invite Nico Lemay’s alchemy knowledge this time, they shouldn’t be too weak, right?Let’s not mention anything else,

After all, the game is a game, not the British favorite drinking afternoon tea and chatting and farting.If you want to gain more knowledge and insight, you must first stop others from despising yourself, so that you can get the attention of wizards around the world.

So a few days ago, just on the ruins of the Babylonian Kingdom, the scattered wizards gathered together to tinker vigorously.It can be seen that in the middle of a clearing, stone pillars with a large number of symbols and patterns are erected one after another, gradually forming a circle.On the slate ground in the circle of stone pillars, more patterns and characters are connected to each other and arranged regularly.

If you let Muggles see, this thing might be very similar to Maca's rune pattern, but in fact they are two completely different things.

In fact, this is an ancient Babylonian formation restored by these Mesopotamian wizards.Even though it occupies such a large area, it actually only has one effect-that is, space replacement at a super long distance.

In the bottom of the hearts of these wizards, they have actually planned to surprise the world of magic.It's not that they don't know about the door key, on the contrary, they are even clear about the "no space movement within Hogwarts".

The reason why they repeatedly tried to directly enter the vestibule of Hogwarts was to make wizards of other countries remember them firmly—this was a good opportunity to show their strength.

Unfortunately……

"Every... everybody, I think I'd better go to Hogwarts and ask for a door key! I don't need you to go, I'll just take a walk..."

The middle-aged wizard sent by the International Wizards Federation was actually very happy when he first arrived.Because he found that the wizards on the Mesopotamian side were not as chaotic as he had originally imagined, and the organization was unexpectedly smooth with the support of several leaders.

But what he didn't expect was that this group of wizards was different from the chaos of local Muggles. It was an unexpected unity.And the consequence of unity is that when his opinions differ from those of the wizards, his words have basically become the ears of others.

"Sorry, sir." An old local wizard standing next to him was extraordinarily polite, "I know we guys are a bit stubborn, but please understand our approach..."

However, politeness is polite, but it is only the surface etiquette.The opponent just killed it and didn't let go, and he had nothing to do. After all, the participating team was the people in front of him, not the dispatcher of the Wizarding Federation.

"Mr. Pasa, this time I failed again... You said, do we simply lift the restrictions and try to use the most intense conversion?"

Just as the old wizard spoke to the dispatcher of the Federation with a sincere expression on his face, among the hurried crowd of people in the large array of stone pillars, suddenly a slightly younger wizard ran out.

"Contact restriction? Can you afford the risk of the collapse of the spatial structure?" When the old wizard heard it, the sincerity and kindness on his face disappeared. "It only takes a moment, and the broken space will turn us all into Smash!"

When this ancient formation was most complete, it might be feasible to break through the fortified space of Hogwarts.But now, the formation repaired by modern wizards still has a lot of instability, and lifting the security restrictions is undoubtedly tantamount to death.

"That..." The young wizard was trained by the old man, and he couldn't help but said, "Mr. Pasa, I think we should change the coordinates... If it takes too much time because of insisting on this, then show I am afraid that strength will become deliberately late... We didn't do this for the sake of fighting the global magic world."

The old wizard Pasa knew that what the young wizard said was right.Since the idea of ​​demonstrating strength has not been effective, give up when it is time to give up—just like their pride in letting go of their hearts this time.

"Try it one last time, no...If it doesn't work, forget it!" Old Pazario nodded sadly, "Go! Remember not to revoke the restrictions. Safety is the most important thing..."

"Yes."

Seeing the young man hurriedly return to continue debugging after he agreed, Old Pasa couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Mesopotamian wizards are still very good, excellent talents, studious habits, humble and well-knowing personality, and reluctance to admit defeat from time to time, these are precious traits.

However, the bigotry and conservativeness of the older generation still affects generations of future generations to some extent, so that until today, they understand the importance of abandoning the past and facing the future.

"I just hope that these young people will have a good experience of this colorful world during this trip!"

"what?"

Old Paisa was still looking back on the past and thinking about the future by himself, but suddenly a few surprises erupted during the previous training formation, and the wizards who were still working just now suddenly became agitated.

"...What's going on? Is there something wrong with the formation?"

Old Pasa didn't have time to think about it, Dang Even shook off his old arms and legs and rushed over there.

"Mr. Pasa, you are here..." a middle-aged wizard pointed to the empty tunnel in front of him, "there...you look there..."

Hearing the sound, the old man quickly glanced at the ground where the crowd had retreated.However, on the stone slab engraved with alchemy symbols, another rune shining with blue light appeared inexplicably.

"Phoenician characters...no, this is...is it a Phoenician magic text?"

This kind of ancient magic text has a lot of connections with the history of Mesopotamia. Although Old Pasa has not seen a complete Phoenician magic text, there are still a few incomplete slate records.Therefore, he quickly figured out what character it was.

But at this moment, the space around that rune fluctuates suddenly.
