Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Time is the most mysterious force in the magic world. In history, there have been many magic items with the power of time, such as the Sands of Time, a treasure that Persia unexpectedly obtained after defeating and conquering a city. Coincidentally, the legendary Sands of Time

The sand was eventually thrown into the land now beneath Ike's feet.

So, the reason why this time stagnant place is formed has something to do with the Sands of Time?

Ike didn't go into it, it didn't make much sense. He had all the time-turners collected by the British Ministry of Magic on him, and he had very little interest in the Sands of Time.

He sat on the floor, closed his eyes, put the wand upright in front of him, and quietly felt the changes in the magic power in his body. After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his face was filled with relief.

The magic power is still flowing, and although the consumption is small, it still exists. This proves that time is still working here, and the so-called stagnation is just an illusion caused by the slow flow rate.

This makes it much easier. Stagnation and slowness are two different concepts, and the degree of danger is also different.

Ike stood up, walked around on this floor for a while, and then stepped on the upward stone stairs again.

As soon as I set foot on it, the surrounding environment changed instantly. The decorations that were the same as those thousands of years ago disappeared, and even the walls disappeared. What I saw around me were just weird colors, twisting and changing, without any trace of them.

law.

The stone staircase was alone among them. When I looked up, I could only see circles of circling stones. The further up I went, the more dilapidated the stone staircase became. Ike walked up slowly, holding the wand in his hand, and he was more vigilant.

This scene is completely different from what Lao Fu said.

When Lao Fu climbed up to the Tower of Babel, he easily reached the top floor and saw the beautiful garden and the magical tree of life. Looking at Ike again, it was the place where time stopped and the place in front of him.

It's a sight that makes people completely confused. It can't be that this tower has become a spirit, right?

Ike, who has lived in this world for more than ten years, knows very well that when in doubt, it is definitely not wrong to leave the blame to magic. What's more, both Lao Fu and Dumbledore have said that in this world, magic is the most important thing.

Just the most amazing thing!

I climbed up slowly and silently, but this stone staircase seemed to have no end. No matter how long I walked, I still couldn't see the end ahead.

Continue, continue, gradually, there is only one thought left in Ike's heart, and it is this thought that drives him to keep moving forward. His consciousness is still awake, but his mind can no longer control his body.

The brain keeps giving instructions to stop, but the body has its own thoughts.

Apart from thoughts and magic, nothing else can be controlled.

The mechanical walking and climbing made Ike lose the concept of time. He had no idea how long or how far he had walked on this stone staircase. What was disappointing was that the environment did not change at all.

The wand was put away at some point, and the clothes on his body became shabby. His hair had grown so long that it was dragged to the ground, and there were many white hairs on it.

The body gradually became weak, there were many wrinkles, and many small spots appeared on the skin. The muscles and fat also disappeared, leaving only a wrinkled skin clinging to the bones. Like a terrifying skeleton, but still walking, accompanying

There was a creaking sound.

I don't know when, Ike's soul fell into a deep sleep, as if in a dream, lying on his back on the soft clouds. There was a gentle breeze, slowly pushing the clouds, leisurely and very relaxed.

In a daze, it seemed like soft sunlight was falling on my face, which was warm and a little itchy with the power. I scratched subconsciously, but it didn't use any strength at all.

Ike was a little annoyed, annoyed that his hand was disobedient. So he tried harder, but his hand still didn't move. He switched to the other one, and it was the same.

The sunlight on his face also became hot, and the itchy feeling made him more and more irritable. Faintly, he felt that something was wrong. This feeling was like a ghost pressing on the bed.

Hmm... a ghost on the bed?

Just like instinct, Ike's legs twitched suddenly, and then the cloud under him suddenly tilted to one side, and actually lifted him off it. A strong feeling of weightlessness came over him, and something solid seemed to appear in front of his eyes.

of land.

The falling speed was getting faster and faster, and the distance from the ground was getting closer and closer. Ike panicked even more, and his mind suddenly remembered a rumor: if you let yourself roll when falling from a high altitude, you might be able to pick up a piece of fish.

life……

I tried hard to make my body move, but they still didn't respond. So I worked harder, harder... Finally, my fingers moved, then my arms, and then my whole body. And in the process, a powerful force moved.

It appeared in his body, dispelling the cold and fear, and even stopped his falling body.

"What is this?" Ike had doubts in his heart. He felt that he was familiar with this power, but he had forgotten its name...

"What on earth is it?"

"What the hell!"

Ike became even more irritable. He knew very well that the name of this power was very important, as important as life.

As if in an instant, the skeleton that was still walking on the stone stairs stopped. Then gradually, the long snow-white hair behind it became shorter and darker. The wrinkles and spots on the body also disappeared, and the skin was

It also became fuller, and flesh and blood reappeared under the skin.

The wand fell into his hand quietly, and the tip of the wand shone with soft white light. Another golden light flashed, intertwined with the white light to form a thread, entwining it and turning it into a cocoon, trapping Ike inside.

Light, dark, light, dark, like breathing, the white and gold cocoon flashes rhythmically.

Suddenly! The cocoon glowed brightly, and then suddenly disappeared, turning into dots of starlight. Ike stood with his eyes closed, breathing steadily and long, and everything in his body returned to the time when he first stepped into the tower.

The next second, his eyes opened, the wand was raised high and slammed to the ground!

Golden ripples rippled, and the strange scenes all around were like a broken mirror, with spiderweb-like cracks appearing out of thin air.

"Ka, ka ka ka..."

The sound of breaking glass seemed to ring in my ears, and the originally endless stone staircase above my head disappeared, leaving only seven short steps ahead.

Ahead, there is a dazzling but soft white light.

One step, two steps, three steps, with each step, the white light becomes a little weaker, and a warmth falls on the body, like the sunlight under the shade of dense trees in summer.

Very comfortable.

Four steps, five steps, six steps, Ike took the last step firmly, the magic power in his body surged, and the white light in front of him was suddenly blown away.

Then, it suddenly dawned on me!

It's like stepping on the void, with the ruined Tower of Babel under your feet, and the soft sunshine above your head. There are flowers and plants all around, and the air is filled with intoxicating fragrance, which makes people's spirits relax unconsciously.

Directly ahead, there is a short fruit tree in the center, bare, with only two leaves still stubbornly hanging on the branches, and a cherry-sized red fruit hanging from the leaves.

Full, with a shimmer like water ripples.

Somehow, Ike knew the name of this fruit and the purpose of his trip:

The fruit of life!
