Chapter 678

Mesopotamia plain is a land full of chaos since ancient times.

Here, there have been oppression, resistance, reunification and disintegration. Whether Muggles or wizards, the local people have been wandering in chaos since ancient times, rising and falling with the tide of light or dark expedition.

For Muggles, there have been great cultural and legal works such as the epic of Gilgamesh and the code of Hammurabi, as well as popular cultural footprints such as "Assyrian king's Palace" and "Babylonian hanging garden". It can be seen that even in the unspeakable chaos, there will be magnificent historical traces.

Therefore, the mood of Muggles in this two river basin of Mesopotamia plain is usually complex.

But for wizards, the slightest annoyance in the Muggle world is nothing at all.

In a certain period B.C., there was a towering tower in this area, which later Muggles called "Babel Tower". At that time, this huge tower with incomparable scale was actually the proof of friendship between the Babylonian royal family and wizards in Cuba. It was a cultural spectacle built by Muggles and wizards.

According to documents, this extremely tall and huge sky tower stands in the kingdom of Babylon, so that the citizens of the kingdom can see it anywhere in the country.

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

That year, the Persians attacked Babylon, and the Persian wizards dragged the Babylonian wizards. A terrible war did not last long, and the peaceful kingdom of Babylon failed to resist the Persian March... No, it was not so much "unable to resist", but rather did not have time to resist.

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 came from the cracks in people's hearts - some wizards in Babylon were not satisfied with gradually moving towards empty peace. Those guys opened the door of the Persian invasion and directly let the other party's army in.

Witches are also human beings. They will also have greed and desire for interests. Naturally, betrayal will also occur. In fact, this kind of betrayal can also be called "unwilling" if we put it in another direction.

Unfortunately, people sometimes have the courage to be unwilling, but they may not have the ability to rewrite their reluctance at the same time.

In terms of the results of the magic world, the so-called "betrayers" failed. Since then, the Wizards in this land have never made more dazzling progress than in that era. On the contrary, they have lost a lot of magic inheritance in a series of rough wars.

Therefore, at least those wizards who are both "betrayers" and "losers" have finally become a generation of sinners in the ancient magic world.

Now, more than 2000 years have passed. Even after that, the remaining wizard descendants wake up and make continuous efforts from generation to generation in order to pick up the old glory. However, just collecting and patching up the lost ancient documents has become an endless ascetic road. What is left of their future?

This time, when the international alchemy competition in Hogwarts blew a hurricane in the global magic world, the Wizards in this area finally had to admit that all the pride, nostalgia, regret and reluctance from their ancestors have become a thing of the past.

They, too, should put it down.

Needless to say, most of the alchemy in Europe and Africa originated from Mesopotamia. But this origin is doomed to be left behind in history. If they want to rebuild glory, they must go to other more advanced magic regions to absorb the essence, abandon their arrogance and closure, and appreciate the latest scenery of the modern magic world.

Of course, even if they are going to sincerely invite Nicole LeMay's Alchemy knowledge this time, they can't be too weak, can they? Not to mention anything else, at least one appearance effect is still necessary.

After all, the game is a game. It's not the favorite thing for British people to drink afternoon tea and chat and fart. If you want to gain more knowledge and insight, you must not let others look down on yourself, so as to get the attention of global wizards.

So a few days ago, on the ruins of the Babylonian kingdom in Cuba, those scattered wizards gathered to stir up. It can be seen that in the middle of an open space, stone columns engraved with a large number of symbol patterns were erected one by one, gradually forming a circle. On the slate ground in the stone column circle, more lines and characters are connected and arranged regularly.

If Muggles look at it, it may be very similar to Maka's Rune matrix, but in fact they are two very different things.

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

In the heart of these wizards, they have actually planned to surprise the global magic world. It's not that they don't know the props such as door keys. On the contrary, they are even clear about the "inability to move in space within the scope of Hogwarts".

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

It's a pity

"Everyone... Everyone, I think we'd better go to Hogwarts and ask for a door key! You don't have to go, I'll just go..."

The middle-aged wizard sent by the International Federation of wizards was actually very happy when he just arrived. Because he found that the Wizards in Mesopotamia were not as chaotic as he had expected, 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 the local Muggles. It was an unexpected unity. The consequence of unity is that when his opinions are different from those of these wizards, his words are basically ignored by others.

"Sorry, sir." an old local wizard standing next to him said politely, "I know we guys are stubborn, but please understand what we do..."

However, politeness is polite, but it is only superficial etiquette. Even if the other party bites him to death and doesn't let go, he can't do anything - after all, the team is these people in front of him, not the dispatched personnel of the wizard Federation.

"Mr. Bertha, I failed again this time... Do you think we should just lift the restrictions and try to use the maximum intensity conversion?"

Just as the old wizard was talking sincerely to the dispatcher of the Federation, a slightly younger wizard suddenly ran out of the busy crowd in the stone column array.

"Contact restrictions? Can you afford the risk of the collapse of the spatial structure?" the sincerity and kindness on the old wizard's face disappeared immediately. "In a moment, the broken space will crush us all!"

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

"Well..." the young wizard was scolded by the old man and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Bertha, I think we'd better change the coordinate... If we delay too much time because of adhering to this point, I'm afraid we'll be deliberately late to show our strength... We don't do this to make enemies with the global magic world."

The old wizard Bertha knew that what the young wizard said was right. Since the idea of showing strength failed to work, it's time to give up - just like their pride this time.

"Try it for the last time, no... forget it!" old Bertha nodded a little sadly, "go! Remember not to lift the restrictions. Safety is the first thing..."

"Yes."

Looking at the young man's back after he promised and hurried back to continue debugging, old Bertha couldn't help sighing gently.

Mesopotamian wizards are still outstanding. Their excellent talents, studious habits, modest and measured character, and their unyielding attitude from time to time are precious traits.

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

"I hope these young people can go and have a good look at this colorful world!"

"Eh?"

Old Bertha was still looking back on the past and imagining the future alone, but he was not prevented from suddenly breaking out a few doubts in the refining array in front. The wizards who were still working just now suddenly became agitated.

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

Old Bertha didn't have time to think about it. Even if she threw off her old arms and legs, she rushed over there.

"Mr. Bertha, you're here..." a middle-aged wizard pointed to the empty tunnel in front, "there... Look there..."

Hearing the sound, the old man quickly looked at the ground where the crowd retreated. But on the stone slab engraved with alchemy symbols, there was another Rune with a faint blue light.

"Phoenician characters... No, this is... Is it Phoenician magic?"

This ancient magic script has many connections with the history of Mesopotamia. Although old Bertha has not seen a complete Phoenician magic script, there are still a few incomplete slate records. So he soon saw what character it was.

But just then, the space around the rune fluctuated suddenly.
