Chapter 583 Goodbye, Allen (Modified, Sincere Thanks to Leader Zhuifeng V8)
(Author's note: Please eat this chapter in conjunction with the Harry and Hermione dance song "O Children" sung by Nick Cave, a song filled with hope amid despair)
Luna's hazy eyes fell on Allen, and as her hand brushed over it, the butterbeer cork necklace turned into a delicate time turner. It looks like a small shiny gold timepiece with a very long and fine gold chain. The rotating golden disk in the middle is hollowed out with many exquisite stars. In the middle are three circles. The transparent hourglass, the fine sand of three different colors inside shines with a shiny and mysterious luster.
Allen saw Luna's movements, his eyes brightened and he felt suddenly. No wonder Luna was not anxious about the death creatures and dementors that were frantically attacking the shield, nor was she in a hurry to treat her injuries. Although they don't know why this time turner has two more hourglasses than the ordinary one - and how Luna obtained this magical object that is strictly monitored by the Ministry of Magic, they will be saved as long as they go back to the past through the time turner. . Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, but he accidentally touched the wound on his face, causing him to instantly frown again in pain.
With a flick of Luna's slender and nimble fingers, the delicate disk in the middle of the time turner began to rotate rapidly.
Seeing this, Alan was very anxious and frightened. Magic related to time is unstable - neither Hogwarts nor any department of the Ministry of Magic except the Department of Mysteries will teach such spells, only Ravenclaw's. Except for the internal library of the tower or the pure-blood families that are old enough and have not declined, it is estimated that there are some records of them. Only the Silent people are allowed to study them in the Hall of Time.
The hour reversal spell is a very dangerous and unstable spell that can be used to go back in time. This spell is applied to the time turner because storing this unstable spell in a magic container can perform more effectively. Good results. Serious violations of the rules of time can also have catastrophic consequences - possible situations include wizards and wizards mistakenly killing their past or future selves, or completely changing the trajectory of a person's life, causing time anomalies, and some people who should have existed no longer exist. unborn.
As a result, the Ministry of Magic subjects Time-Turners to a strict warranty review when approving their use: hundreds of laws surround the possession of Time-Turners, with the most stringent penalties for misuse of Time-Turners. Harsh laws and penalties.
According to research published by the current silencers, deliberately published to highlight the dangers to ordinary wizards, the maximum safe rewind time without causing serious damage to travelers or time itself is five hours. In the history of magic, it is mentioned that the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters dealt with a disaster caused by a mute named Eloise Mintab in 1899. She once used a time turner in the experiment to return to the past, but due to Died for more than a few hours. During the experiment of traveling back in time, Héloïse was trapped in the year 1402 for five days. When she finally returned to the present, her body had aged five centuries and was irreparably damaged, eventually dying at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies.
Her travels changed the lives of everyone she met in the past, and at least twenty-five of her descendants disappeared from modern times and became "never born." Beyond that, there were some worrying signs that time in the past had also been disrupted: the Tuesday after she returned to the present day lasted a total of two and a half days, while Thursday lasted just four hours.
One rotation of the time turner is equivalent to going back one hour, and now the time turner around Luna's neck is turning so fast that Allen can't see clearly. What is Luna doing?
Luna walked to Allen's side and looked at Allen with her head lowered, as if the fierce impacts and cruel and beautiful disappearance outside the shield could not attract her attention. It was as if a pair of invisible hands gently lifted Allen up. It was definitely not a forceful pull. Allen did not feel any discomfort, but it was as if the gravity had changed, supporting his body.
After releasing the Occlumency technique, Allen tried to contact Luna internally, knowing that the other party could hear her. Luna's finger gently touched his lips, and then she looked up at the dementors that were constantly shining into blue powder on the shield dome: "It's really romantic to take a girl to see the dementors. good idea."
Allen couldn't help but look up at the dementors with flying sleeves and rotten palms above his head, circling and hitting the shield layer by layer. Now he really came to see the dementors, but he was like this In a predicament... Although the falling blue light powder and the shield with blue and silver light do look beautiful - although those ugly undead creatures add a lot of weird atmosphere of terror and despair to it.
Suddenly, Luna's wrists were connected and raised above her head, like a blooming flower turning and blooming. Her body was bent into a strange arc, as if she was praying or listening to the voice from high above. The voice followed her humming Muggle songs and dancing with her own invented dance steps - her voice sounded like three overlapping voices again.
Then she noticed Allen's confused gaze. She tilted her head and smiled playfully at Allen, but did not stop singing, "My child, please have fun..."
Allen's body was completely out of control and he was invited to dance together by Luna. He raised his hands and feet like a manipulated puppet. Coupled with his current miserable image and surprised and inexplicable expression, it looked very funny. .
"Hey, little train, let's jump on the little train, it will travel to the country of dreams..."
"Oops, the shield is going to break." Allen, who was manipulated to dance with Luna, saw a crack on the top of the shield because of the rotation, and secretly thought something was wrong. A dementor squeezed through the gap and successfully got into the shield, followed closely by another...
"The dementors are coming in, Luna, stop jumping!" Seeing the dementors rushing toward him and Luna, Allen became anxious. He had lost the ability to move, but Luna He didn't seem to notice at all.
"We are very happy, Mom, we are very happy, even if the train has not yet left the station." Luna hummed, staring at Allen with her eyes that were wide and bulging, and with a dancing posture of raising her head, She waved her hand, and the Dementors paused for a moment, then flew towards the crack above their heads. They flew out of the shield, attacked their companions, and blocked the crack with their bodies.
"A dementor who controls crazy thoughts? A slave of Eris, the goddess of misfortune?!" Allen's arm was also raised high, and he turned half a circle, thinking about the words of the God of Death before, "The Death Knight said that I She is a follower of a false god. The God of Death said that she is a false god who uses lies and deception to obtain divine power. Divine power? Divine power... The bet between the goddess of luck and the goddess of misfortune! The bet between these two goddesses, regardless of Whoever wins and who loses will suffer for others, and those victims are all grateful to the goddess who helped them and gave their devout beliefs." Allen's thoughts were spinning like his dance steps at this time, "These two goddesses are Luna pretending to be?! She has deceived the victims for nearly a thousand years by acting like a double act, and then asked them to give up their faith for being so-called saved or leave a so-called lizard like a lizard. The prophecy allowed them to be enslaved willingly for so many years with a glimmer of hope that they would be saved... But how can mortals collect faith like gods? How did Luna become a false god..."
"Hey, little train, wait for me. I was once so blind, but now I understand. Do you still have a corner for me? Is this just my imagination..." There are more and more cracks on the shield, from the round The top had begun to spread downwards, and the time turner was still spinning rapidly, but Luna continued to hum without caring.
"Luna can freely use the storage space of her system, and her system tasks were not difficult at all. The tasks that seemed to be a little difficult also just gave solutions or props, as if she had specially found a The reason for giving yourself some benefits is the same as guiding yourself. And later - almost after I met Luna! The system almost never issued tasks anymore. Did she also create this system? The Lu I know Luna, who is she...the tower, the crown, Luna basically learned the knowledge in the tower. Her Patronus Charm turned into a raven, and her relationship with the Gray Lady Helena, Autry -The head of Ravenclaw wearing a weird headdress next to the poisonous horn in her black cylindrical house like a boulder in St. Catchpole Village..." Ellen found that she no longer had After seeing the blind spots in my heart, I quickly mixed these conscious doubts together, and was shocked to find that all kinds of evidence pointed in one direction, "Luna was called Loony, which is homophonic to Loony, and if Loony is Lovegood was split into Loonylove [Author's note: When Luna appeared in the movie version of Order of the Phoenix, Hermione used LOVE instead of pronouncing GOOD when she called Luna a crazy girl. It sounded like... 】——Sounds very much like Rowena! If you include Luna, she is Rowena Ravenclaw... No wonder the statue of Eris under the Guthias tree looks like Ravenclaw Lao himself..."
"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind. The 'system' is just a way in your own mind that makes it appear in the way that you think is the most reasonable. In addition to some inherent process arrangements, it just has the ability to influence you. There are little things around you that have certain detection and prediction capabilities. As for why there are no more 'tasks', it's because all the things I left behind are almost finished - the things you didn't draw are just from your own imagination. "Luna answered the question with a slightly naughty tone in her own voice, "Finally, Loony LOVE can also be literally translated as crazy love - this is quite suitable for the two of us, isn't it? But you can keep Harris. My last name is Ravenclaw. My name is Luna Lovegood. My mother, Pandora Lovegood, is an extraordinary witch. I reincarnated myself and regained my surname. After taking my body, she noticed something strange about me. After several years of research, she got a wrong result. My mother thought that my body was invaded by the soul of another wizard. In 1991, she conducted a spell experiment to try to separate the so-called When the extra part was left, the doomed spell cost her her own life... Because there was only one soul in my body... When you later entered the statue I left in the Ravenclaw common room, the fragment of my soul also He was liberated and became one with me again, allowing me to gradually regain my memory..."
The other two more mature female voices continued to sing: "Hey, little train, wait for me. I was once bound, but now I am free. I still hold on. Have you seen it? In this journey that has gone through many trials middle."
No matter how shocked Alan is now, Luna seems to have been immersed in this wonderful time of dancing together. Luna's voice has also rejoined the chorus, and Alan can also cooperate perfectly under the control of the invisible force. Dance along with Luna's strange dance steps.
Under the crazy attack of the undead creatures, traces were cracked on the circular shield, like blue stars, crazy lightning, ice flowers on the winter window lattice... Outside the blue shield, in the darkness, countless The undead and dementors wanted to rush in ferociously. When they hit the shield, they seemed to turn into mottled blue light spots in the darkness, falling to the ground and blending into the black earth.
Under their unremitting impact, the cracks in the shield gradually expanded. Luna waved her hand again to control some of the approaching Dementors, allowing them to struggle and tangle with the Dementors who were companions a second ago - close to the ground. The shield can barely hold up anymore.
Luna put her hands behind her neck and took off the time turner necklace around her neck. With the weird and elegant dance steps, she tied the time turner, which had begun to slow down, around Allen's neck. , feeling the touch brought by his fingertips, Allen's body swayed gently to Luna's singing. He couldn't control his body and naturally couldn't resist.
Then, still wearing blue pajamas, Luna smiled at Allen, then let go of him and took a step back to let Allen continue to be supported by the magic power. Her voice was filled with tenderness and sentimentality that she had never shown before, "Don't take it off, or you will be a thousand years old when you come back." Luna bulged her big eyes and told Allen the precautions, as if she was explaining how to resist the hooks in the mistletoe. Same.
The other sounds Luna made never stopped singing, "Hey, little train, the little train we jumped on, it will travel to the country of dreams, we are very happy, mom, we are very happy, this is beyond my wildest Wild desire.”
Aware of the other party's intentions, Allen was swallowed up by fear. He struggled to pull the other party, but it was only in vain to move his body. Allen frantically tried to contact Luna, "Luna?! This time and space Can the converter protect against damage caused by too long a lookback time? Come closer, this chain is long enough to trap the two of us, you don’t need to..."
"Yes, it can trap two people, but it can't take away a god - even a false god." Luna put her hands on Allen's shoulders again, and her silver-gray eyes were fixed on Allen's. She looked into his eyes and said, "You don't understand anything, Alan Harris."
At this time, Allen no longer cared about the pain caused by forcibly opening his mouth. He roared in a low voice and tried to control his upper and lower jaws to open and close them, so that the chin and cheeks pierced by finger bones could open enough wounds for him to have some Kong Gao spoke directly. He could not leave Luna alone in this gray area full of undead and dementors.
"Hey, little train, the little train we jumped on, it will travel to the country of dreams. We are very happy, mom, we are very happy, even if the train has not left the station yet." After singing this sentence, Luna said because of Ellen The movement finally made the music stop.
"There are... some things... I still understand." Allen prayed painfully and persistently, his tears falling uncontrollably - but it was not at all because of the pain caused by the wound.
"I know... I love you, and I know you love me too." The damage on Allen's face was too great. The wound that had stopped bleeding was opened again with his previous actions, and blood flowed down His cheeks flowed into his mouth, and the finger bones that penetrated his mouth also hindered his pronunciation. The sound of blood bubbles in his mouth made his words unclear.
Luna stared at the wounds on Allen's face that were a little bloody due to tearing and the wart-like swellings on the other's face. Then she stretched out her hand towards the time turner, but immediately retracted it and changed it to a gentle one. He stroked Allen's forehead and smoothed his messy hair, "Alan, do you remember a dream I had in the bedroom of the deputy principal's house in Durmstrangmont? It was a prophetic dream. ——The goal of the God of Death is to make me enter the underworld after escaping death. I predicted today, but I can't change the past."
Luna's breezy appearance made Allen's tears mixed with blood flow down his cheeks. The saltiness of the tears brought an extra sting to the wounds, but the pain was far less than the heartache and powerlessness he felt at this time. Frustration - the knowledge he had greedily plundered for a long time and the power he had gained through deliberate efforts could not help him at this time.
More and more dementors and undead creatures entered the shield, and they were getting closer and closer. It was too late.
"When I made my first bet with Bayer a long time ago, I won a drop of blood from the gatekeeper dragon of Baator Hell - Tiamat, the dragon god. Through this, I transcended the mortal body and learned the secret of divine power. , and then pretend to be two goddesses to deceive others to collect divine power - my surname, Ravenclaw, means "crow's claw", and the hidden meaning is "greedy predator". Finally, this is why I am not in a hurry to find magic. The reason why creatures undergo magical Animagus transformation." Luna's white arms stretched out and turned into huge dragon claws in front of Allen's eyes. Colorful lights flashed, and Luna transformed into a dragon with five dragon heads and a traditional Fire dragon is a giant dragon with a wyvern-like tail.
Each of her heads has a different color. The white dragon head is raised high, and its scales will reflect like a mirror. It swoops down from a high place, spitting out frost to freeze and hinder the undead; the black dragon head has deep-set eye sockets. , shaped like a skeleton, the scales on the dragon head will become large and thick, and the color will be dim, lurking behind other dragon heads, waiting for opportunities to spit out linear acid to attack; the green dragon head's jaws full of teeth and raised The horns and crown all reveal its aggressive nature. Among the five dragon heads, it attacks the most frequently, exhaling a large amount of corrosive gas to cover the frontal battlefield; the blue dragon head has huge ears and a thick nose. One horn, its scales were brilliant sky blue, its skin made a tiny crackling sound, and the lightning created in its mouth caused those dementors to be electrocuted into powder without a chance to get up again; the red dragon head has a lava ball-like The eyes, whose scales are as hard as metal, hot cone-shaped dragon breath sprayed out, and the undead creatures were reduced to ashes in the burning flames - Allen's time turner has stopped rotating and started to emit a faint light, Luna is buying the last moment for Allen.
The dragon's huge torso is dotted with beautiful stripes of these colors. Unlike Luna, who was slender in human form, after transforming into animagus, the dragon's body is very strong, allowing Luna to use her entire body to crush undead creatures. Although the tail covered with venomous stings cannot These undead souls were no longer alive, but the tail flicking power contained in them was enough to knock the skeletons apart. Coupled with the five majestic dragon heads, the momentum was astonishing.
"Why me?" Allen asked the five-headed dragon, also known as "Ten Thousand Colors Returning to the Sky". He already knew that Bayer's second sentence in the Goblet of Fire game was "as you wish". As I said, Luna made another real bet with the Devil Archduke - probably using whether she could truly complete the game perfectly as the rule, and finally allowed herself to gain the knowledge and benefits from Baator Hell.

"Because it's you." Luna's vague female voice sounded in Allen's heart.
The blue shield was completely shattered, and in the darkness, amidst the white frost, red flames, and roar of the dragon, the undead creatures and dementors in the distance surged towards Luna like a surging wave.
"No, Luna." Seeing that Luna was about to be submerged by the wave of undead creatures, Allen's face was so distorted that he couldn't see any of his usual handsome appearance. Indescribable fear and regret rose in his heart, and he The roar of the dragon was heard tearing through the air.
In an instant, Allen could no longer see Luna. He felt like he was flying backwards very quickly. Various blurry cloud shapes passed before his eyes. With tears pouring down his face, he felt like something was knocking in his ears - -Then Alan felt as if there was a hook behind his belly button, and it suddenly hooked forward with irresistible momentum.
Finally, after a while, Allen, who had to close his eyes because of the strong dizziness before, heard the sound of rushing water around him. He opened his eyes, and everything before him disappeared. There were no undead creatures and dementors covering the sky, nor the roaring dragon.
Apart from the exposed rocks and the clear air, there was simply only the sound of the stream... He lay beside the clear, shallow stream, and the gentle rolling fields in the distance were covered by a small purple flower called heather— -The earth makes people feel that it lacks a kind of vitality. The boundless purple seems too dazzling and stubborn. It is different from the brilliance of mountain flowers, but a kind of blooming that is almost desperate.
After confirming his surroundings and knowing that he was in the Scottish Highlands, Allen closed his eyes again. He just lay on the ground motionless, feeling overwhelmed by sadness and despair. At this time, a vague female voice came from the void.
"Goodbye, Alan."
