Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

"This is of great significance to the research of the entire Time Hall, Mr. Forrest."

Bloom said seriously.

"It is because of the countless failed experiments like William in history that we are now studying time magic."

"Before the time converter was made, no wizard had ever thought that the magic of the future would be able to control time in our own hands, even if it had huge risks."

"Although [William's Time Form] itself did not successfully materialize the mimicry of time, it also has its unique function."

"If the golden part representing the past is facing up and the silver part representing the future is facing down, the person using the hourglass will see what happened before his current position."

Sherlock was attracted by Bloom's words.

"Then nothing will happen on the silver part?"

"No, it will also allow the user to see the future." The fat man smiled mysteriously.

This is actually a concept of looking at time from another perspective. Sherlock has seen the [William's Time Form] with his own eyes, and he can figure out what the so-called seeing the future means with a simple thought.

After all, time is a kind of perception of people, and for the living, every second he is experiencing is equivalent to the future of the previous second.

The silver "sand" falls, which means that people's future is being consumed.

In this regard, Sherlock can't help but have another question. .

"If you can see the past by turning the hourglass upside down, then it will be of great help to the work of the Auror Command. Why didn't the Ministry of Magic give it to the Aurors to use? Instead, it is placed in the Time Hall?"

His question made Kingsley look a little embarrassed, but Bloom answered seriously.

"Because even if it is a failure, it is still a masterpiece worthy of the study of every silent person in the Time Hall for the research of the Time Hall. It will definitely play a greater role for us to study than to put it in the hands of the Aurors."

"And the most critical point is that when the hourglass is inverted, the past of the scene produced is uncertain. It may be a few minutes ago, or it may be hundreds of years ago."

Just listening to this thing, Sherlock felt that it was very unreliable.

After fully understanding William's time form, he asked the core question with a serious face.

"You just said that the golden "sand" in the hourglass was actually an important material for making a time converter?"

"Yes, but the production process of the time converter has been lost now. The main reason is that no one knows how this golden thing, called "time crumbs", is collected."

Sherlock certainly didn't want to know how this thing was obtained, he asked seriously.

"What I want to know is, if the "time crumbs" you mentioned are absorbed into the human body, is there any possibility of taking it out?"

This question made Bloom's expression a little stunned.

He blinked his eyes, as if to confirm Sherlock's words for a long time, and then said.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Forrest, I don't know this either. Because in the literature records of the Time Hall, there has never been a precedent for such a thing to happen, not once, and the "time crumbs" thing itself rejects the human body."

Sherlock fell silent.

At that time in the Time Hall, the situation was urgent, and he and Eddie didn't notice the state of the little girl who was still called Amy at that time.

Now, no one can figure out why the [Time Dust] that has never had any problems in [William's Time Form] would inexplicably fly into Amy's eyes.

Gu Qi

The tea party became a little cold at this time.

Sherlock sighed in his heart, and just when he was about to thank Bloom and look for a solution from other channels.

The chubby wizard suddenly continued.

"Well, although I don't quite know why you ask this question, Mr. Forrest, even if I don't know the reason, others may know something."

"When I entered the Time Hall and started working, the mentor who led my research was the descendant of William Matthew. If it was her, she might know something about what you want to know."

Sherlock was immediately refreshed.

Even if Bloom couldn't answer the reason, he provided Sherlock with a new channel.

The hourglass made by the wizard named William Matthew was the direct cause of Silk's eye problems.

This wizard who lived in the 17th century must be gone now, but meeting his descendants may be helpful.

Sherlock said immediately.

"If you have nothing else to do today, then we can go to your mentor now. I wonder if it is inconvenient for her to stay there?"

Bloom did not expect Sherlock to be so anxious, and he nodded.

"I have no problem. My mentor is now retired at home. She basically spends her free time drinking tea and planting flowers every day. If you want to visit her today, I can write her a letter now to let her know in advance."

"Thank you so much, Mel."

"It's just a small effort. I'm glad I can help Mr. Forrest."

Having said this, the tea party ended.

Naturally, Kingsley didn't have to do anything later. He went back to the Ministry of Magic directly. There were still things waiting for him to deal with in the Auror Command.

After Bloom rented an owl from Diagon Alley and wrote a letter to his mentor stating the time of the visit, he took Sherlock and used Apparition to arrive at an old house in the suburbs of London. house.

"My mentor is relatively old and usually stays at home studying time magic, so he has a weird temper."

Before the official visit, Bloom gave Sherlock a heads up in advance.

Sherlock nodded and said.

"I came here to ask for help, so I will lower my profile."

With that said, the two of them had already walked to the door.

Bloom gently knocked on the old wooden door, and then a strange eye appeared on the door.

After blinking and looking at Bloom and Sherlock, the wooden door opened by itself.

The yard behind the door is not big, but it is full of flowers and plants, and there is a terrace in the middle of the garden.

A very old-looking old witch wearing a violet robe and no wizard hat was sitting on a lounge chair, holding a cup of tea in her hand and looking at Sherlock and the others who walked in.

"It's rare that one day, little Mel will take the initiative to come to see me. But this visit must not be just for a visit, right?"
