Harry Potter: The Age of Magic

Chapter 88 Time Hourglass

Seeing Jiang Jing looking at him with a look like "Look, I'm right, right?", Rossi didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so he had to laugh a few times and change the subject:

"Abo, please check that hourglass again."

"Broken Time Hourglass: A damaged magical prop. It could have been used to speed up the flow of time in conjunction with a certain ritual, but it has been reduced to waste at this time."

Time hourglass? It is indeed a magic prop related to time. No wonder it reminds me of a time turner! Rossi muttered silently, full of doubts in his heart: "Who arranged these here, and its existence?"

has no meaning?"

"A prop that can affect the flow of time is really magical." Irene picked up the gold frame with most of the glass fragments stuck on it and said in surprise.

"It's a pity that it is useless." Abo sighed and said regretfully.

At this time, Jiang Jing, who was squatting aside, picked up the golden sand on the ground and gently rubbed it for a few times, and said calmly: "It's nothing to be regretful about. We don't know anything about ritual magic now, let alone how to use it, even how to keep it intact.

Even if we try to remove it, we can’t find the correct method at all.”

"That's true!"

Abo nodded, indicating that he agreed with his statement.

"The point now is not here..." Jiang Jing said as he collected the gold sand on the ground and inadvertently used his palm to gently support the altar. However, with just this gentle support, it seemed that some kind of mechanism was activated.

, a deafening roar suddenly sounded in the cave.

Could this also be a trap? Rossi cursed, and just as he was about to speak, the roaring in his ears became more intense and heavier.

The pain was so unbearable that she had to open her mouth and just press her ears with her hands, so she could barely feel better.

After a while, the violent roaring still showed no sign of stopping. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but they felt that the entire cave began to shake.

"What should I do?" Seeing Woody the swallow-tailed dog rolling and struggling, obviously unable to hold on, Eileen on the side shouted hurriedly.

Although her voice was drowned out by the huge roar as soon as it was uttered and could not be transmitted at all, Woody's state at this time, Rossi and others, were also aware of it.

Holding back the severe pain, Rossi waved a few people away from the altar, and then waved his wand fiercely.

A fused blue arc appeared out of thin air, and instantly exploded where the hourglass of time was originally placed on the altar.

In this violent explosion, the altar, which was only made of stone bricks, was immediately blown to pieces.

At this time, on the wall they were facing, the huge hard stone wall slowly opened to both sides, revealing a passage leading straight upward.

At the same time, heavy stones also fell from their heads.

Seeing this, the four people hurriedly lifted Woody and ran quickly towards the opened passage. As they ran, everything in the cave began to collapse.

In such a dangerous situation, Rossi and the others didn't even have time to look back, so they had to run up the passage desperately. Fortunately, Woody regained his mobility after entering the passage and did not become a drag on them.

The four of them were running almost with all their strength. The stone steps collapsed along the way, and boulders flew everywhere. If they had been a little slower in their reactions or a step slower, they might have been killed.

After running like this for more than ten minutes, Rossi finally saw a glimmer of light coming from above.

The entrance of this passage was opened on the cliff halfway up the Resi Mountains. As four people and a dog rushed out from inside, the entrance of the passage completely collapsed and sealed with a loud rumbling sound.

Rosie was riding a slender ash wood handle broom, her eyes drifted from the face of Jiang Jing who was hugging Woody with a serious face, and then slowly drifted downwards amidst Abo's excited shouts.

Below her, Irene, who let her body fall freely, activated her exclusive skill until she was about to land. She disappeared and reappeared, standing on the ground unharmed.

At this time, Rossi suddenly realized something was wrong.

The vegetation in the Weibonne Forest is sprouting and branching, and it looks full of vitality, which is completely different from the previous autumn, when the flowers and leaves are about to fade.

"What's going on?" Just after landing, Rosie heard Irene ask in a surprised tone.

Rossi, who had made some kind of judgment in his mind, heard Abo behind him hesitantly answer before he spoke: "It's already spring..."

Yes, under the influence of the ritual magic in the cave, we directly skipped autumn and winter... Rossi felt that his heart was full of doubts: Who was responsible for the ritual magic and planned to create such a dungeon?

place, what’s the purpose...

"Oops!"

While thinking, Rossi suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Nicola Flamel!"

Six months have passed, and she can't expect a dog to take good care of an unconscious person. Without replenishing water and nutrition for six months, she can't even imagine Nico Flamel's current situation.

After running wildly for half an hour, the four embarrassed people, led by Woody, finally returned to the small courtyard where Nico Flamel lived.

However, neither Nico Flamel nor the Dog King were in the cabin at this moment.

After searching for a long time, they finally determined that the place was empty.

Looking at the bed and desk, which was almost covered with cobwebs, Irene's blue eyes were full of sadness and she said:

"Are we late? Has he passed away?"

Rosie sighed, and when he was about to comfort her, his eyes inadvertently passed over the empty desk, and he couldn't help but let out a soft "Huh" and searched the room again:

"He probably didn't die, he just left here. Notice that the original books and notes on the desk and the clothes in the closet were all taken away."

"Could it be that someone else burned it for him?" Abo asked rhetorically.

Uh, I can't answer you talking like this... Rosie rolled her eyes and was about to speak when she saw Woody running in with a large empty photo frame in his mouth and throwing it at Irene's feet with a thud.

"Woody, what is this?"

Seeing Woody yelling at the hook nailed to the wall, Erin had no choice but to bend down and pick up the picture frame and hang it up.

The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the photo frame. Judging from his appearance, it was Nico Flamel.

I just heard Nico Flamel in the photo frame saying energetically: "Hi, little guys, how are you!"

"Hello, Mr. Nico Flamel."

Rossi bowed and saluted, and then asked frankly and directly, "Are you still alive?"

Hearing this, Nico Flamel was startled for a moment, and then laughed out loud:

"I didn't expect you to be so direct, but that's right. People who pursue the truth like us never shy away from death."

"Although I am just a picture, I can feel that I am still alive."

Rossi hesitated and asked:

"Then where are you now? Did someone save you?"

Nick Flamel glanced at the blank space beside him and said in a rather relaxed tone:

"I should be in a private place now, um, with my wife."

"It was Perenal who saved me. She is my wife, an outstanding potion expert."

"Your wife?" Rossi immediately thought of the Flamel notebook, "but we didn't see her that day."

Nico Flamel thought for a moment, finally remembered something, and suddenly said:

"Oh, she went to deliver the Sorcerer's Stone for me."
