Chapter 665 I'm Still a Child

If she didn't know Ethan's strength, would Hermione think Ethan was crazy?

Or just say some big words to fool yourself?

"Study... the power of time? Is this also possible?"

"why not?"

Ethan pointed to the neck where Hermione was hanging the Time-Turner.

"Since this kind of tool has been manufactured, it proves that time can be 'touched' to a certain extent. Since it can be touched and used, isn't it a normal idea to want to use this power better? "

"That's true."

Hermione opened her mouth, and found that there was no way to refute Ethan's words, so she could only nod her head in approval.

"But... can it really be successful?"

"If you don't try, who knows if you can succeed?"

This is the case with everything, if you don't try it yourself, you will never know what the result will be?

Just like when he felt the time energy emanating from Hermione before, if he hadn't tried to mobilize those fluctuations, I'm afraid he hasn't figured out why he hasn't made any progress in time.

Because he tried, he got something—of course, he might get nothing.

But if he didn't do anything and let the energy dissipate naturally, then he would definitely not find anything.

With a clue, Ethan also has the motivation to continue his research. In the eyes of others, Ethan seems to suddenly ignite his enthusiasm for learning, and repeatedly hits the self-confidence of his classmates—no matter what course Ethan is in. It can be easily completed, and no matter what kind of test the professors fiddle with, Ethan will always get a perfect score.

He performed so well that some professors who didn't know the inside story felt that Ethan could apply for the 'graduation exam' and then directly enter the advanced class next semester.

But Dumbledore refused on the grounds that Ethan was too young. After all, Ethan's current apparent age is only about thirteen or fourteen years old. He will enter the advanced class next year and graduate at the most sixteen years old. He is indeed young. A little bit.

The professors were persuaded not to bring up the question, and Dumbledore approached Ethan again towards the end of the term.

And when he found Ethan in Snape's personal laboratory, he was directly horrified by what he was doing.

"This is……"

Ethan was standing in front of a table with a bitten apple on it. His right hand was open, with the palm facing the apple, and circles of green magic power surrounded his forearm. These magic powers formed a There are layers of mysterious magic circles, and the core of the largest ring seems to be held by Ethan in his hand.

And with the turning of Ethan's palm, the apple on the table changed miraculously: it turned back to a complete ripe apple for a while, and then turned into a green and immature state.

When Ethan turned in the other direction, the turquoise fruit turned back into a ripe apple, and then turned into a state where one bite was taken off, many bites were taken off, and the flesh was all eaten up...

Then rotate in reverse, this time Ethan's rotation speed is obviously accelerated, and the fruit no longer stops at the blue-green state, and even turns into a freshly fruited state.

At this time, Ethan's movements suddenly stopped, as if he couldn't continue, the magic power on his arm suddenly fluctuated violently, as if it was about to collapse in an instant.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Dumbledore immediately took out his wand to help Ethan control the out-of-control magic power.

He stood here watching for a while, and he already understood what Ethan was studying.

time!

This is also a taboo area with countless mysteries for wizards. Because it is easy to cause irreparable and terrible consequences, wizards' exploration of the time domain is only a superficial. Although time converters can be manufactured in large quantities, almost all wizards do not understand the principle.

Not only do they not understand the principle, but even the wizards are cautious when using it. Most wizards only use the time converter to go back to a very recent period of time. Otherwise, they dare not go deep. Investigate other uses - such as traveling to the future, or traveling to a more distant past.

Because there are too many and complicated issues involved. Just going to the distant past, how to come back is a problem. Going back to a relatively recent timeline, you can quickly wait until the time when you activate the time converter, and then continue your life.

But if you go back too far in the past, maybe you won't be able to go back to that point in time when you die of old age—and even if you survive until that time, the growth of age cannot be avoided.

This is the easiest trouble to accept, such as: accidentally causing a time branch, or destroying an important timeline, causing the entire time to fluctuate or even collapse, or trapping yourself in a certain time fragment It is possible to neutralize, or even simply make oneself non-existent.

Although it is very dangerous, there are people who have the courage to make great efforts to study it, but because it threatens the whole world, the Ministry of Magic still strictly controls this aspect.

That is to say, Dumbledore more or less guessed part of Ethan's details (of course it doesn't matter whether he is right or wrong), otherwise he would have stopped him long ago when he saw someone else researching such a dangerous thing.

Facts have proved that Dumbledore's "trust" in Ethan was not wrong. Just when the magic power containing time energy was on the verge of collapse and seemed to cause a disaster, Ethan slightly increased the output of his divine power and used this part The out-of-control magic power was suppressed again.

This kind of suppression would have an impact on himself, but with his current body, he could bear it completely. If it were an ordinary wizard, he might be severely injured.

Re-stabilizing his figure and magic power, Ethan slowly retracted the time magic power on his arm, and when his magic power was withdrawn, the apple on the table slowly disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Dumbledore walked over quickly, looked carefully at the location where the apple disappeared, and then glanced at Ethan again.

"Is there anything unusual?"

"Don't worry, the only anomaly is that this apple has been completely erased from the timeline."

The power of time is so dangerous, and whether this apple has completely disappeared, or has never existed since the beginning, or is trapped in a certain time fragment, Ethan has no idea at all, even if he released this spell, he can't give it to him. come up with an accurate answer.

"If I knew you wanted to study this, I would never have asked Snape to give you the Time-Turner."

Ethan shook his head and gave Dumbledore a dumbfounding answer.

"Even if there is no time converter, I can still research to this point."

The key to helping him figure it out was Hermione who used the time converter. After he realized that each item has its own timeline, the operation of the concept of time is to connect to the timeline of an item. Timeline, the next thing he has to do is to study the principle of how the time converter connects to the timeline, and then turn it into other things.

This process is cumbersome, and the Time-Turner connects the user to that person's own timeline.

Ethan wants to connect an item to the item's timeline, which means that he himself has to play the role of a time-turner-to make it more complicated, he is not going to be a passive tool like a time-turner, but To become the controller, and be free to 'see' the past and future trajectories of this object.

During this process, the role of the Time Converter became less and less, and he began to recall the Eye of Agamotto, the power and rules contained in the Time Gem, and then tried it with his new understanding. It's also why his state when casting a spell is very similar to using the Time Stone.

In addition to the blood of those creatures previously obtained from the edge world of tomorrow, Ethan has been studying the rules related to time in it, and it is almost inevitable to achieve this achievement today.

The only regret is that he can be sure that his ability to manipulate time similar to the time gem can only be used in this world and the Marvel universe, because he has been exposed to the time rules of the Marvel universe and the time rules of the Harry Potter universe, but He has never touched the time rules of other universes, and it is difficult for him to operate time in a universe that does not understand the rules at all.

Of course, as his understanding of this rule or power deepened, these problems gradually ceased to be problems.

Looking at Dumbledore who was still standing aside, Ethan suddenly thought of the Time Converter when he mentioned it: There is no need to be so troublesome to solve Voldemort. I just go back to the past and beat him to death with a stick.

Then I thought that this just killed Voldemort, and it didn't fundamentally improve the general environment within the wizarding world, and it might even get worse.

"Do you want to change history?"

"However, the minor incidents in recent decades are not as serious as history."

Ethan slowed down for a while, and his powerful self-healing ability had brought him back to normal—this was also seen by Dumbledore, and he became more and more sure of his original judgment on Ethan.

"However, I thought about it. This can't fundamentally change the current situation in the magic world. It's better to resurrect that guy and lure out those guys who should have been cleaned up long ago."

Hearing what Ethan said, Dumbledore let out a sigh of relief: As long as Ethan is not going to use the power of time to go back and make trouble.

"By the way, you came here specially, you didn't come to talk to me about the time converter, did you?"

"No, I want you to represent Hogwarts in the Triwizard Tournament, so I want to ask your opinion."

"I?"

Ethan pointed to himself and saw Dumbledore nodded affirmatively, making sure that the other party was not joking.

"I'm not old enough?"

Dumbledore's face at this time was as exciting as it was, and even Snape next to him looked like "Your joke is not funny at all".
