Chapter 50: Feng Shui

As the most famous relic of the First Empire of Babylon, the Sky Garden is one of the most fascinating ancient wonders in the world, and almost all researchers will fantasize about finding it one day, historians want history, and magicians want magic.

The reasons for this level of popularity and the fact that it has never been discovered are complex, one of which is that almost everyone knows that the ruins of the Sky Garden are beneath Baghdad, and no one would allow a magician or archaeologist looking for the ruins to dig in Baghdad. In addition to this, the fact that the Sky Garden had actually been determined to be destroyed was also a very important reason, and the news that it had been destroyed spread all over the world before this miraculous structure disappeared completely.

In general, now, the excavation of the remains of the Sky Garden is such a thing: digging a big pit in Baghdad, what comes out is a pile of stones, no treasure, nothing of value.

So Magellan was still skeptical about the countess's easy performance, and in the end, these problems were beyond Isitar's solution.

Now, he could only shoot the Luoyang shovel into the ground, while praying in his heart that there would not be too many people living directly above the ruins.

The Sky Garden has been recorded in many documents, and on the whole, it is almost certain that it was located on the side of the great river at that time, and it relied on a large system of waterwheels to lift water to the upper floors of the building, creating the illusion of green hills on the flat ground, and this system continued to operate for hundreds of years after its completion, until the flow of the river shrank.

This led directly to the abandonment of the garden, which is now the biggest problem in determining the location of the ruins.

It is difficult to say where the ruins will be located thousands of years later, the shrinking of the great rivers and the encroachment of the desert are confusing, and the banks of the rivers cannot be used as a reference, even Baghdad has undergone several migrations throughout history.

Still, Magellan was inclined to the oasis where he now lives, and the records show that there are several springs below the garden, which may be the reason for the formation of the lake.

Of course, the final result depends on the distribution of the subsoil layer, and what awaits Magellan is a long and repetitive process before it is determined.

When he assembled the Luoyang shovel by a small river, Magellan did not know that Yuan Chi was on the other side of the river.

The prince of the demon clan was looking at the other side, his heart full of doubts.

He came here in search of dragons.

But apart from the fishermen and the peasants digging on the opposite bank, Yuan Chi saw no one.

The dragon is not here.

But the results of divination cannot be wrong.

A trace of anxiety flashed in Yuan Chi's heart, but in the end, this anxiety turned into expectation.

Dragons are always elusive, they are usually elusive, and only by getting the beads can you really understand a dragon.

And Yuan Chi already knew where the beads were.

Arafa's eagles and bulls were in control of Baghdad, and they had hidden from him by all means that a countess who could be called a dragon among men had arrived.

Yuan Chi didn't expect that his desire for dragons would make the elders here worry unnecessarily, but in the end, Yuan Chi still knew everything he wanted to know.

And those perfect eyes, and the one who could escape from his hands, were the companions of the countess.

And the countess, this pearl of the dragon, is here, in Baghdad.

"Ah......" Yuan Chi let out a long sigh, "It's really exciting." ”

......

Magellan's search went nowhere.

He found several ruins underneath, but found himself unsure if they belonged to the Sky Garden.

Theoretically, since the river was always receding, it would be the sand dunes that would have buried the remains of the garden, but the ground here is almost entirely dirt.

He had to expand his search, but he still found nothing.

Magellan began to have to consider the possibility that the remains of the garden were located directly below the city of Baghdad.

He began to think back to what he knew.

Because of its superior natural conditions, this place has been a city since the time of the ancient Sumerians, and after a long period of development, it became the capital of the empire during the First Empire of Babylon, which was then called Babylon.

It was at that time that the Sky Garden was built, and then there was a long period of war and chaos, and almost no one realized that the fertile soil of the two rivers was decaying, but when you look at it from the lower reaches of history, it is clear at a glance.

At that time, the Sky Garden still existed, but due to disrepair, it had lost its miraculous glory, and the rulers who occupied the city regarded it as just an ordinary sand dune, and the records were drastically reduced.

Despite this, there are clear records of the garden being located on the west side of the city at the time, between the city and the great river, and that it lost its green due to the lack of water, but it was still magnificent.

What followed was a long period of chaos, with a drastic decline in records, and it was during this period that the garden disappeared completely.

In this truly dark period, the city itself has been destroyed and rebuilt several times, and three maelstrom tides have brought three foreign invasions: mage lords, orcs, and demons, they are completely different from each other, and each time a new outsider appears, it is a complete destruction and a long reconstruction.

And such a process was repeated three times.

Baghdad is still Baghdad, the beloved city of the gods.

But it will never be Babylon again.

There is little mention of the change in the position of Baghdad during this period, partly because of the war, and partly because of the writings of the three outsiders.

Gradually, however, Magellan began to have an idea.

Now that the city has been destroyed and rebuilt, the new city will almost certainly change its location, and the location of the new city will probably be better—almost all of the science and technology of these three foreign forces are above the average of the time.

Then, according to the change of natural conditions here, the change of the location of the city can be deduced.

The change of natural conditions is the need to use the Luoyang shovel for research.

Magellan thought back to the information he had received so far, and then gradually had the answer in his mind.

Judging by the layers of soil underground, the river has retreated and changed several times over a long period of time, and the location suitable for the city has changed several times as the desert has grown.

The sedimentary layers of river mud always make it clear that the river exists, and Magellan quickly drew a diagram.

The changes of nature do not have a specific point in time like the movement of the city, but it is certain that the garden was built at a suitable location for the city.

That's Seongnam.
