Chapter 290 Incomplete Top-Level Alchemical Items
In short memories.
Nico Flamel recalled many things deep in his memory.
moment.
"It really surprised me. I didn't expect that there are two people in this world who can crack the mystery of the time turner to such an extent."
Although there was a sigh in Nico's voice, the hidden joy was clearly audible.
However, Ino frowned slightly, and he heard another meaning from the other person's words.
"To this extent? You mean..."
"Yes! It's incomplete!" Nico Flamel took over naturally.
"To be precise, every time turner is incomplete. Just like the Philosopher's Stone, they are all incomplete."
"Incomplete? Incomplete?" Ino's voice suddenly became louder.
It wasn't because he couldn't control the decibels, it was mainly because what Nico said was too bizarre.
Incomplete time turner, incomplete magic stone.
The high-end alchemy in the emotional magic world is all defective...
It's hard to imagine what they would look like if they were complete objects.
Facing Ino's astonishment, Nico Flamel suddenly chuckled:
"I guess you only studied one time turner! It was the same as me at that time, when I was about two hundred years old..."
Time seems to have returned to the past. After spending decades and thinking that the crack was completed, it was discovered that the sample studied was just a defective thing.
"...Every time converter is different! You may understand it as using a camera to take pictures of a normally operating alarm clock, and time will naturally pass. Even if the photo speed is infinitely fast, every photo will be related to There is a difference from the previous one.”
Under Nico Flamel's vivid metaphors, Ino gradually understood what the other party meant, but at the same time, new doubts arose.
"Mr. Flamel! If I follow your metaphor, there should be a complete alarm clock behind all this?"
"Yes! With a full alarm clock."
Nico nodded naturally, and then he pointed to the alarm clock in the room.
"The complete alarm clock behind it is the natural running time of this world. As for the time converter, you can understand it as the projection of the running time. This actually explains why you can't go back in time to change what has already happened..."
"Because a shadow is always a shadow!" Ino said slowly, adding that Nico didn't speak.
A time turner is like a fake pass that allows the holder of the pass to briefly enter the house of time.
But in this house, you can only see and hear, but you can't touch anything.
Because the pass is fake, once discovered by the owner of the house, he will definitely face severe punishment.
This also confirms why, throughout history, countless wizards have caused irreversible damage due to improper use of time turners.
A long while.
"It seems you understand!"
Nico picked up the parchment on the table again, and the alchemical circuit inside was still clear.
"That's why I say it's defective. You can't restore the alarm clock itself through a photo, just like a time turner can't be made."
Hearing this, Ino asked with some confusion: "Then how did the time turner appear?"
"Who knows!" Nico spread his hands helplessly and said in a humorous tone: "I'm not even seven hundred years old! You can't expect me to know all the secrets..."
"Okay! You're right!" Ino didn't notice Nico's humor, but thought it was normal.
Compared with the elves in Middle-earth who are thousands of years old, seven hundred years old is really not enough.
However, Enoch's unremarkable reaction made Nico Flamel feel uncomfortable.
The humor that was once invincible seems to have lost its effect now.
"While I don't know much about the time turner, there is another mutilated item we can exchange, but that will need to happen later as my lunch break is up."
As he spoke, Nico's eyes looked at the parchment again. If we talk about the two-way mirror or the Mirror of Erised before, they were just guidance for the younger generations.
But with the appearance of the time turner, he has put the boy in front of him on an equal communication footing.
Moreover, the other party seems to be a teenager, but his actual age may be more than what he appears.
Ino didn't notice the change in Nico's mentality, but after hearing about another incomplete item, he immediately thought of the Philosopher's Stone.
He was a little surprised by Nico Flamel's generosity, but then he thought about how generous he was, and took out the alchemy circuit of the time turner casually.
It seems that this is the kind of academic exchange that alchemists should have.
…
at the same time.
When Nico Flamel proposed taking a nap.
Across the sea in England, another episode about siesta occurred.
London, 4 Privet Drive.
Harry sat up suddenly from the bed, gasping for air in shock.
After lunch, he returned to his cubicle on the second floor as usual.
After all, after the last unexpected incident, he would try his best to avoid contact with Aunt Petunia and her family no matter what.
However, after returning to the room, there was a lack of entertainment and communication, and he could only pass the time by sleeping.
As for reading and summer vacation homework, that is entirely a matter after school starts.
But just such an ordinary nap made him see a terrifying scene.
From the first perspective, a dark wizard whose appearance was unclear brutally murdered a Muggle. The Muggle body was also devoured by a giant python that looked to be at least a foot thick.
The same perspective, the same dream, but this time Harry did not choose to hide it, but planned to tell Dumbledore immediately.
He spread out the parchment and wrote down in detail what he saw and heard in his dream.
After watching Hedwig leave, Harry hesitated for a moment, took out the parchment again, and copied the contents of the letter again.
…
However, while Hedwig was delivering the letter.
Far away in Paris, Nico Flamel also woke up from a short nap.
Perhaps due to his fragile body, Nico did not sit up immediately after waking up. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the doll standing beside the bed with burning eyes.
A doll about three feet tall and shaped like a 7-8-year-old boy.
"Rick, I may have found a chance for you to survive..."
However, before Nico Flamel could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the puppet:
"My mission is to accompany you and Perenal, she has left! And my mission is only to accompany you."
Hearing the puppet's answer, Nico had a complicated expression on his face, including relief and guilt.
"Don't you want to live?"
"Alive?" A slight smile flashed across the doll's face, but soon the smile disappeared again.
"Have I truly lived?"
