Hogwarts Crawler.

Amon put the exchange voucher into his pocket and picked up the bag of gold galleons.

Chapter 135 Ololin Gandalf

Back above the big lake in the underground ruins, Adam released spots of light that spread out in all directions.

The left side of the mountain, the right side of the water, no matter which direction it is, it is in the middle of the mountain and the water, right? The water is right under your feet, so as long as you find the mountain...

The light spots scattered in all directions, but Adam did not see any mountains until the light spots disappeared at the end of his sight.

"The signboard isn't bright enough? There's nothing we can do about it..."

Adam took out a Clow Card. On the card, a woman wearing a crown and elegant clothes was holding the sun in one hand and the clouds in the other.

"The seal is broken... huh?"

Just when Adam was about to unseal the light card to completely illuminate the underground world, he heard a noise coming from afar and turned to the magic of the phantom card to hide himself.

Not long after, two figures holding lanterns walked out of the darkness. The faint light of the lanterns was not even as bright as the light created by the light sign, and could only illuminate a distance of less than two steps around them.

After looking around, they lowered their voices and said to each other:

"Are you sure that the light just now came from here?"

"I am very sure!"

Although we don't know which faction the two men belong to, at least they speak English, which is cause for celebration.

After walking a few more steps, one of them didn't want to go any further:

"Should we continue to move forward? Even if someone is sent down from above, what can we do?"

He couldn't help but take a few steps back as he spoke:

"Even if someone came down, it would just be a few more people trapped here. Maybe that person has been eaten by now—by the Kraken, or something else—who knows what kind of monsters are in that lake?"

The hidden Adam's eyes lit up - Kraken?

This thing is also called the Kraken, a specialty of the Norwegian Sea. I don't know why it appeared here. In the previous life, the prototype of this thing was probably a giant squid, but the Kraken in this world is indeed a magical animal, with the appearance of a giant octopus tens of meters long.

If this thing dragged the body of the wizard who fell earlier into the lake, it is very likely, but Adam is not more concerned about this.

After trying the giant squid, Adam still finds the Kraken charming!

Come to think of it, this lake can actually hold so many delicious foods, oh no, giant marine creatures. The space underneath should be much larger than it looks, and it should be connected to the ocean... Could it be that he has found ALL BLUE?

After Eugene's parents are rescued, he will definitely explore this place thoroughly!

In a short while, the man had convinced his companion - it was obvious that the other party didn't want to get close to the lake either.

Wizards do occupy an absolute dominant position in the ecological niche of the magical world, but that is not only because of the endless spells cast by wizards, but also because of the gap in numbers.

Simply put: no magical creature stronger than a wizard can be born by a wizard, and no magical creature stronger than a wizard can be born by a wizard.

And now in this underground ruins, there are only a few wizards, and they are not united with each other. It is not possible for the two of them to deal with a Kraken alone - and as his companion said, God knows what else is in this lake?

Could it be that the Kraken got so big by drinking water?

The two retreated a long way before raising their voices and shouting a few times symbolically:

"Is anyone there? Is it the reinforcements that just came down?"

"Or a private expedition that sneaked down here?"

"Did you release the light just now?"

"No matter who you are, if you are still alive, please answer!"

"If you try, you will find that we can't go up now. We must unite to have a chance to escape!"

After shouting a few times and getting no response, the two sighed and prepared to leave.

As a result, when they turned around, they saw an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a white robe and holding a white cane, looking at them quietly.

!!!

A sharp scream just uttered a syllable before it was covered by the hand of the owner of the throat. The wizard who had just persuaded another person to leave covered his mouth with one hand and his chest with the other. The lantern in his hand fell to the ground, and he looked like he was almost scared to death.

The other wizard was also very frightened, but he was not slow in pulling out his wand:

"Armor protection!"

When in doubt, put up a shield first. That's good. He looks experienced, which is obviously different from the guy next to him.

The old man was the transformed Adam. He spoke slowly:

"Don't be afraid. Didn't you ask me to come here just now?"

The gentle voice was like the gurgling of running water, calming the fear in the hearts of the two people. The two looked into the pair of deep and bright eyes, and unconsciously followed each other's words and thought:

"We asked you... Are you the one who released the light ball just now?"

Adam said nothing and paused the Staff of Darkness in his hand.

In the eyes of the two men, a familiar light lit up at the top of the white cane in the old man's hand.

"Wait—we can't have such a bright light in here!"

Before the more timid wizard could finish his words, the sound of rolling waves could be heard in the distance.

Under the fluorescent light, the two wizards' faces turned pale.

"Run!!!"

There was no need to lower their voices at this moment. The two wizards ran away. After running for a while, they remembered that there was another person there, so they turned back to look.

I can only say that he has some conscience, but not much.

Fortunately, when the two turned around, they saw the old man with white beard following them closely. When he saw them turn around, he smiled at them, looking like he was in a very comfortable position.

After running for a few minutes, the three finally stopped.

"Your...physical strength...ha...ha...is really good!"

Gasping, the two wizards looked at Adam in disbelief, even though his breathing was not disordered.

But think about it, if they can climb down such a long rope with their bare hands, their physical strength can't be too bad. They spend most of their time sitting in the office, and if their companions hadn't helped them, they would have fallen down halfway...

"I usually pay attention to exercise."

Adam smiled and looked at the two of them:

"I haven't asked you two's names yet?"

"My name is Zora."

"...Youwei, what about you?"

These two names are so fake and even a bit perfunctory.

"Olorin Gandalf."

The two wizards looked at each other. This old man seemed quite honest... But they still had to ask the right questions:

"Well, Mr. Gandalf, may I ask about your origins?"

"We have no ill intentions. As we said before, you should already know that there is anti-Apparition magic here, and you can't even use the portkey..."

Youwei sighed and said:

"We who are still alive have reached a temporary agreement. Regardless of other things, let's get out first."

Most of the first group of people who came down were from the Ministries of Magic of various countries. They were just workers, and the benefits they were fighting for would not end up in their hands, so it was not worth it for them to risk their lives for work.

As for those private expedition teams, they understood the principle of saving their lives first, otherwise they would not live to explore the ruins of the Hanging Gardens… This news was only released to the most experienced expedition teams.

Chapter 136 Underground Exploration Part

“I am a scholar…”

The magic card + sound card, combined with the love card, Adam would like to call it a meeting where we have known each other for a long time.

Gandalf's words were so convincing that in order to make the other party understand the current situation and join them, the two told Gandalf all the information they knew.

This includes the areas they have explored, what they encountered along the way, and their current base.

"You encountered a mountain range?"

Adam's eyes lit up:

"In which direction?"

"Uh...over there."

Zora pointed in a direction, then hesitated:

"But because the mountain range looked too high, we were worried about the danger inside so we didn't continue exploring..."

"Thank you. I'm planning to go over there and take a look. Do you want to come with me?"

After hearing the news, Adam planned to set off immediately.

"OK……"

The two agreed without thinking, but after following Gandalf for a long time, they suddenly came to their senses - they seemed to be planning to get each other to cooperate?

The two looked at each other, then at Gandalf - forget it, it's been so long and there is still no clue, why not follow this scholar, maybe he can find a way out?

“Now that there are plants here, we can turn up the lights.”

The two men saw plants beginning to appear on the roadside, so they took out the lantern that had gone out when they were escaping and relit it. After some adjustments, the light of the lantern became much brighter than before.

It can probably illuminate the area about ten steps around, which is slightly better than fluorescent flashing.

Adam looked at the magic item with some disdain, and used the magic of the light sign to create dozens of light balls.

"..."

After extinguishing the lantern, the two men put it away as if nothing had happened, secretly cursing the logistics department in their hearts.

To avoid embarrassment, Zora explained:

"There are some flying insects chasing the light in the area around the lake just now. I don't know what kind of animals they are, but they are highly poisonous. So we rarely turn on the lights, and even if we do, they won't be too bright."

Adam looked back thoughtfully. Perhaps Professor Scamander would also be interested in this place?

Youwei then said:

"But those flying insects won't come to areas with plants... you see."

Adam followed the direction of Youwei's finger and saw clumps of weed-like plants on the ground. In the middle of each clump there was a slender stem with a red fruit on the top.

"This fruit is edible and is everywhere in this area. We survive by eating this fruit."

Youwei picked one and threw it into his mouth, then his facial features tightened:

“Apart from being a little sour, there’s not much downside.”

"Thank you."

Gandalf picked one of the fruits, twisted it in his hands, and then put it into his mouth.

Putting the fruit into the bag, Adam and the other two continued walking forward.

"Don't eat this randomly. Let me study it when I get back."

There is nothing wrong with growing in a place with no light, as many magical plants can do that, such as the Devil's Snare, but the place where it grows is a clear distance away from the water source...either there is something wrong with the plant or the water.

Considering that those flying insects won’t fly here...it’s obvious that there’s probably something wrong with the plants.

Inside the bag, Sibi and Xiaoke used their paw pads to pick at the fruit, feeling the magic inside, with serious expressions:

"Good~"

Adam nodded secretly.

As we continued forward, the variety of plants increased significantly, and at the same time, there was light all around us - a kind of plant with glow stick-like growth began to appear all around us, and when it wasn't glowing, it looked a bit like calamus.

"Very pretty, isn't it?"
