Chapter 272 It’s Been so Many Years, and You’re Still Digging?

Adam apparated to the Minister of Magic's office and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Eugene burying his head in the pile of documents, looking completely normal.

"What happened?"

Since nothing happened to Eugene, and obviously nothing happened to Bernard, there was no need to be so anxious.

"Ah, you came so quickly."

Eugene was stunned and raised his head to look at Adam. After a few seconds, he remembered what was going on. He picked up the document at hand and handed it to Adam:

"Look at this, what should you do?"

"Huh? You can just decide for yourself if there is anything you want to do. Why do you have to show it to me..."

Adam opened the file, and the first thing that caught his attention was a picture that occupied almost half of the paper. The scene on the picture made him feel a little familiar:

"Eh? This pit... I seem to have seen it somewhere..."

With Adam's current ability, the past memories will not fade at all under the erosion of time, and the forgotten memories will become clear again, and he soon found the memory corresponding to the big pit.

"Remnants of the Hanging Garden?!"

Adam suddenly realized that he had never thought of it before...

It's not that he forgot, but he ignored it. After all, in his impression, this happened several years ago, so it should have been resolved, right?

But this document...

"How many years have passed and the ruins are still being excavated?"

Adam flipped through it from beginning to end, closed the file with a complicated expression, and put it on the desktop:

"So, the current exploration level of the ruins by the Ministry of Magic is 0, and the people sent out before have been trapped in the Hanging Garden ruins for several years?"

Ah...all the Ministry of Magic all over the world do this?

"Ah, even the last batch of people who entered with the Ministry of Magic in France and Germany have not been heard from for more than two years, and the previous people have not sent back any news."

Eugene was also a little helpless. Compared to Adam, he really forgot about this thing. After all, his attention was on his parents and Adam at the time.

If the person who came to him with this document had not explained to him that he had no idea that he could know the ruins of the Hanging Garden, he would not have been able to remember it.

"...So, what are we going to do now? They want you to save people?"

The corner of Adam's mouth twitched. How many years have passed without any news coming back? It's such a dangerous place. How can I save someone?

"That's not true. For those who entered the ruins of the Hanging Garden, the Ministry of Magic has already acquiesced that all of them were killed."

Eugene shook his head. Even if his parents were trapped inside for two years, he would not have any hope. Besides, to the Ministry of Magic, those people were just colleagues and subordinates.

"Then they came to you with this document..."

"Let me decide the Ministry of Magic's next attitude towards the ruins of the Hanging Gardens."

Eugene spread his hands:

"Although the ruins of the Hanging Garden have now become a treasure that only eats people in the eyes of the Ministry of Magic of various countries, no one has benefited from it..."

Eugene swallowed as he spoke. The oarfish from the ruins of the Hanging Gardens tasted really good when fried and stir-fried, and it was also a huge fish.

"Let's eat stir-fried royal hairtail tonight."

"OK."

Eugene responded subconsciously and was stunned. How did Adam know what he was thinking?

But Adam seemed to be able to tell what they wanted to eat every time, so that was fine.

Without thinking any more, Eugene continued:

"Although it is generally believed that no one has benefited from the ruins, cannibal treasures are also treasures, and everyone obviously does not want others to benefit. Therefore, the Ministry of Magic of various countries is still stationed near the ruins of the Hanging Garden."

It is frustrating to have no harvest, but it would be really sad if the Ministry of Magic of other countries had gained something. With this idea in mind, the people sent by the Ministry of Magic of various countries have never come back.

The most representative one is probably the Magical Congress of the United States of America. The chairman and his elite are stationed there, keeping an eye on who might get the treasures in the ruins.

But stationing there is obviously an expense, not to mention the material consumption of those personnel, who are originally official employees of the Ministry of Magic.

Forget about the previous Ministry of Magic, but now that the Ministry of Magic has gone through a round of cleaning, there are a lot of staff vacancies. Eugene's manpower can still only fill about 30 to 40% of the vacancies. If they are called back, the Magic The current manpower pressure of the department can be greatly relieved.

"Um……"

Adam fell into thinking. Originally, he wanted to just call him back. He would spend money and gain nothing by staying there. What if other forces really got the treasure? Could they be stronger than him?

But after hearing what Eugene said later, he hesitated again. Now Eugene can maintain his absolute rule over the Ministry of Magic because the current staff of the Ministry of Magic is mainly composed of the camp members originally led by Eugene plus the remaining members of the Ministry of Magic. , employees who have nothing to do with Voldemort's forces.

The former were screened by both the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters, and the remaining ones were basically people who had complete trust in Eugene.

The latter almost never occupies a high position in the Ministry of Magic. Therefore, it escaped corruption and destruction when the entire magical tribe came under Voldemort's control. At the same time, it also had a considerable impact on Eugene in the previous confrontation with him. trust.

But the Ministry of Magic employees stationed next to the ruins of the Sky Gardens are different. They may not even know that so many changes have taken place in the Ministry of Magic, and they have no basis for trust in Eugene. At that time, Eugene's ruling power over the Ministry of Magic may decline.

This will not help Eugene's plan to establish a new system in the future, but will interfere with it.

Although Adam can directly suppress the invincible world, he must have a legitimate reason. At the same time, it is better for Eugene to maintain a relatively glorious image. If possible, it is best not to leave serious stains during the ruling process.

Sure enough, Eugene talked about this matter next. The idea he and Bernard initially discussed was to call people back after everything was settled.

"I called you here to tell you about this matter on the one hand, and on the other hand, I want to understand whether our recall of people will cause any serious consequences. If so, we will not call them back."

Eugene knew that Adam's going to the ruins of the Sky Gardens was similar to going to the back garden at that time, but he didn't know whether Adam was trying to be strong to reassure him at that time, and he didn't know what was in the ruins of the Sky Gardens. Adam didn't go there to explore the ruins at that time.

If there is something really extraordinary in the ruins of the Hanging Gardens, then the Ministry of Magic’s stationed personnel do not have to be called back.

“Well… I really don’t know what is in the ruins of the Hanging Gardens. I’ll go ask later.”

Adam remembered that Professor Dumbledore seemed to know something about the ruins of the Hanging Gardens.

“As for whether it will cause serious consequences, don’t worry. No matter what is inside and who gets it, I can solve it.”

Adam’s words were arrogant, but Eugene only felt a sense of security after hearing them:

“Then it’s decided.”
