Chapter 40 Breakthrough (Revised, Typos Have Been Corrected)

The letters on the light curtain slowly re-arranged and re-arranged, and then a question was displayed: "Where does time begin?"

This topic is really unusual for Allen, because in a strict sense, time itself does not exist, it is a relatively abstract concept, and it is a manifestation of the movement of matter, the continuity and sequence of changes. Time is a parameter defined by human beings to describe the movement process of matter or the occurrence of events. The determination of time depends on the law of periodic changes in matter that is not affected by the outside world. For example, the period of the moon around the earth, the period of the earth around the sun, the period of the rotation of the earth, the period of atomic oscillation, etc. Einstein said that time and space are an illusion of human cognition.

But obviously this question is not for Allen to explain from the physical aspect, but to think of a direction that can persuade the other party to take a philosophical perspective.

After sorting out his thoughts, Allen, who had been exercised by the door knocker of the Ravenclaw common room for half a semester, had a flash of inspiration: "The present time has just ended, and the future time begins now."

It has to be said that this is just a flattering statement, but the opening of the bronze door shows that the other party, as always, agrees with this type of answer.

Behind the door, the fog was filled, and Allen seemed to see a void. He stepped into this void, and soon the fog changed, which made him stand on the surface of the moon. On the vast plain formed by the huge impact craters filled with dark volcanic basalt lava flows, in this area without a single drop of water called the "moon sea", looking back at the huge blue planet next to it, and beside the earth There are many stars that do not belong there are floating behind it.

Already a little dizzy, Alan couldn't help being attracted by its beauty and mystery. After carefully observing the surrounding environment for a long time, he didn't find any danger. He began to try to move by himself, and bent down to try to touch the surface of the moon under his feet, but he just Stretching out his arms, the moon flew away under his feet like a frightened little animal, and disappeared into the mist again.

In an instant, all the fog swirled around Allen. Allen seemed to be in the center of a tornado, the outer layer was turbulent and the center was calm. Knowing that this is the scene caused by illusion magic, Alan remained calm and watched the changes. With the rotation, the outer layer of mist drifted away, and the inner layer of fog gradually disappeared layer by layer. What Alan saw was a vast expanse. Interstellar is like magnifying the ceiling of the common room countless times.

An ethereal and serious female voice occupies this space: "Only a wizard with extraordinary wisdom can complete this astronomical puzzle. Please find the stars you have just seen from the universe in front of you according to your observation angle on the moon just now." Position, restore them to the position they stayed in just now, the time limit is ten minutes, you can go to the next level if you pass, if you fail, you will be cast with a powerful forgetting spell to make you forget everything and be sent out."

Wisdom is a high-level comprehensive ability, including perception, knowledge, memory, understanding, decision and other abilities. This level examines the ability of memory, observation, and decision. And Allen did maintain the ability of photographic memory with the help of the University Bully System, but this ability does not include graphics! In this kind of boundless stars that have been replaced by looking down and zooming in, in just ten minutes, it is almost impossible for Allen to distinguish and find it with the naked eye. You know , he didn't get into the habit of drinking a vegetable protein drink squeezed from six walnuts every day.

At this moment, Allen suddenly thought of another item in his storage space. At this moment, he was extremely grateful for his good luck. The system storage space quickly came to Allen's mind. Allen chose the quaint parchment tied with a red string. The red string fell off automatically, and the parchment slowly unfolded, with the words: "Halo of Xueba."

The function is marked under the parchment: before use, clearly declare the time of use in advance,

During the time frame shrouded in the aura, the host can obtain a stronger good luck effect and magic power enhancement effect than the Felicity Elixir, and temporarily obtain the wisdom of a powerful wizard in ancient times and the book collection knowledge accumulated in the three magic libraries.

Undoubtedly, Allen immediately chose "use the halo for three minutes". Allen's mind was instantly filled with the knowledge stored in it. After a brief sting, Allen, who was dizzy, regained his clarity, and again felt the wonderful illusion of omniscience and omnipotence under his control.

The extra knowledge in his mind made these stars under his control. He searched in this endless starry sky, constantly eliminating the interfering stars. The impression of the target star in Alan's mind is extremely clear. Compared with these stars, Alan can quickly capture every subtle difference. On the contrary, it is a pity that Allen moved the stars to the correct position in more than two minutes, and the remaining time can only be wasted in this way.

Although the cold female voice did not appear again, the spinning and broken starry sky in front of him all indicated that he had passed the level.

"This level of difficulty test is obviously not for young wizards... No, it should be said that even adult wizards who are proficient in astrology cannot easily pass it. Why did Ravenclaw set up such a difficult level to test others? If you don't happen to have the Halo of Xueba and you can pass, there is definitely no possibility of success, and if you cast an overly powerful Forgetting Curse, it may cause irreversible magic damage to your brain, and the sequelae of this level of forgetfulness can only be regarded as very mild. side effects."

But without waiting for Alan to think about it, the cosmic stars in this space shattered into countless pieces, spinning and disappearing.

The fragments in front of him began to deform slowly again, turning into a mage tower with a strong medieval fantasy style. The gate of the tower opened silently in front of Allen, and he walked in obediently, a light screen as thin as cicada wings quietly suspended in the air.

The light curtain at this moment has no content. Through the light curtain, one can see the magnificent decoration behind it. This tower is very artistic, decorated in dark blue and bronze, with exquisite ancient style furniture and luxurious carpets in the interior, it seems that most of them are exquisite enough to be called works of art.

The ceiling is decorated with silver-blue fire dragon scales. Allen judged that it seems to be from the Swedish short-nosed dragon. The rounded curved crystal chandelier is spiral in the air, and the tops of the surrounding walls are painted with the events recorded in the tapestry just now. It's just that the technique seems to have advanced for hundreds of years, which made Allen feel even more weird. You must know that although the specific incident cannot be clarified, according to the records in books related to the history of magic, it is clear that Rowena Ravenc Lady Law died in the eleventh century.

But it was too late for Allen to think about it. The blue light of the light curtain in front of him was a masterpiece, and the cosmic star map that had just been shattered into pieces gathered on the light curtain again, and a model exactly like the tower he was in appeared on the lower right of the light curtain. Countless silver lines criss-cross across the star map.

Still that female voice: "Stretch out your wand, cast the 'move' spell, and complete the universe shuttle game. After the game is completed, you will pass the level, otherwise you will be imprisoned inside the tower forever."
