Chapter 250: Something Isn't Right

Reaching out to the red fruit, very slowly, carefully, until his fingers really touched the cool life fruit, Ike's tense nerves relaxed.

With a slight force on his fingers, the life fruit fell into his hand, and the two tenacious leaves suddenly turned yellow, withered, and fell to the ground. Then, the tree of life, which I don't know how many years it had grown here, dried up in an instant, shriveled and curled, and the golden flame ignited from its roots, turning into a handful of black ash in the blink of an eye.

The black ash fell to the ground, and a breeze blew from nowhere and scattered it all over the garden. Like a fire falling into the forest, all the exotic flowers and plants are burned out. Ike stood where he was, unharmed.

Looking at the scorched earth around him, and then at the still full life fruit in his hand, Ike's fingers pinched unconsciously, and the ripples on the fruit kept rippling. Putting it in his pocket, he waved his wand, and a soft white light diffused, blowing away the black ash everywhere, leaving only a clean stone path in the garden, but the inexplicable flame just now burned even the dirt clean.

With another wave of the wand, and with a slam step on the stone slab, a huge golden magic array suddenly appeared, and countless golden threads stood in the air.

"Ding!"

A barely audible sound reached Ike's ears, and he looked up to see a black dot in the blue sky, with a golden thread on top of it. Seeing this, Ike waved his wand in his hand, and the golden threads instantly converged, striking at the black dot with a brush.

"Click, click, click......"

As if a piece of glass was about to shatter due to the pressure, a cobweb-like crack appeared in the sky, spreading rapidly to the surrounding area.

Seeing this, Ike smiled, indifferently put away his wand, and waved his hand to disperse the gold thread. Then, I watched as the rift in the sky quickly disappeared and returned to its original appearance.

He threw the fruit of life and put it on the slate. Open the suitcase that I have been carrying, take out a small box and put the Life Fruit in it, and stuff it into my pocket.

Taking another look at the wasteland-like garden, Ike turned and walked straight down the tower.

On the way back, I didn't encounter anything strange, and walked out as usual. When I stepped out of the tower gate, I was no longer surrounded by yellow sand when I entered, but a big river that meandered and rushed, but I don't know if it was the Tigris or the Euphrates.

Turning his head, the Tower of Babel was slowly becoming transparent, and it didn't take long for it to disappear in front of him. Ike waved his hand and threw down a spell to hide himself, and another chair appeared, and sat down, the notebook and quill in his hand.

"I found the Life Fruit."

"Good, how do you feel?"

"Only the last one remains, well preserved, and dedicated to you when I see you."

"Then put it at your place for a while, and give it to me when we meet."

"Okay, teacher."

After waiting for a while, when no new writing appeared on the notebook, Ike put them all away. With a wave of his hand, he removed the magic, took out a pocket watch from his pocket and looked at the time, it was past four o'clock in the afternoon.

After making out the next direction, he walked straight in the direction of Baghdad.

The speed of his return was much faster, and by the time he got back to the hotel, the sun had not yet set. I soaked myself in the bathtub and took a comfortable bath, and the box containing the life fruit was placed next to it. I looked at it, but I didn't want to open it at all.

The experience in the Tower of Babel is magical, and there are indeed many traces of ancient magic, especially the place where time stands still, which is beyond Ike's imagination and cognition. The final garden is not bad, with exotic flowers and plants and a magical tree of life that complement each other well, creating a dreamy atmosphere.

But because of this, Ike felt a little uneasy, and he couldn't say anything wrong, but he simply felt that this place shouldn't be like this.

Ike trusts his senses more than what he sees with his own eyes, and later attempts have proved that the place is indeed abnormal. He won't eat the fruit he gets in such a place.

Therefore, it is better to leave it to Lao Fu, Lao Fu, who has permanently lost a piece of his soul fragment, even if this fruit is true, it will not make up for his missing soul.

When you think about it, nothing has changed.

The next day, as in Greece, Ike spent the day in the city and boarded a plane to Amman in the evening. His next stop was Egypt, but there were only a few direct flights from Baghdad to Cairo a week, so he had to make a stopover in Jordan, which didn't take much time.

In the early hours of the morning, the plane landed, and Ike didn't even leave the airport, so he bought a ticket to Cairo directly, and waited until he boarded the plane at eight o'clock in the morning to squint slightly. After landing on the ground, I went straight to the hotel, opened the room and went into the house to sleep, and didn't wake up until late at night.

I didn't go out the next day, and I read books and watched TV in the house to pass the time until about nine o'clock in the evening before finally lying down. When I woke up again, the artificially created jet lag was also better, and although I was still a little tired, it didn't hurt.

When you arrive in Egypt, the pyramids are a must-see. This time, Ike hired a private guide to show him around the Sphinx and the Pyramid of Khufu, and went inside.

You only need to pay a ticket price, which is very convenient.

The tour guide introduced in a low voice, walking slowly in front, and Ike followed behind, watching very carefully. After leaving the tour and paying a handsome tip to the guide, Ike left the scenic spot.

I didn't go too far, I found a random coffee shop outside the scenic area and asked for a cup of coffee, and then quietly looked at the towering pyramid in the distance.

"It's really clean...... Ike thought to himself.

Just now, he didn't just look at those artifacts, but also carefully sensed the possible magic fluctuations. Although the magic of ancient Egypt is very different from that of Europe, it is both an application of magic, and the essence is still the same. But along the way, Ike didn't notice any fluctuations in his magic power.

It's not for nothing, there are a few security personnel who have magic fluctuations on their bodies, and it's normal, how can there be no wizard guarding this kind of occasion? Even if they had removed all the magic of the pyramids, it was needed.

What's more, Ike thinks that they probably haven't really removed all the curses and magic of the pyramids, as long as you think about the few pyramids that Gringotts is still dealing with, you can know that the curses of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs and the magic of the high priests are not something that can be solved simply.

It doesn't matter, Ike didn't come for those legendary curses and magic spells, he just felt that a trip to Egypt without looking at the pyramids was equivalent to a trip for nothing, just pure play.

His purpose was not to do this, he came to Cairo only because it was easier to get to the Red Sea from here.

There was the place where Moses divided the sea.
