After coming out of Snape's home, Maca paced softly through the dimly lit alley of Spidertails, strolling along the way. The snow in the sky is getting heavier again, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the blizzard is about to fall again.

In the snow, he walked and thought patiently, sorting together the information and clues he had just received from Snape, and for a moment his mind was full of thoughts.

It's just that in his preoccupied thinking, he still doesn't forget to maintain his magic. As soon as the dense snowflakes reached the top of their heads, they slid to the sides and silently merged into the snow on the ground.

Not long after, he suddenly stepped on his feet, and found that he had unconsciously walked to a small river.

The ticking sound in my ears is still ringing, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will inadvertently ignore it over time. But if you care too much, it will make people irritated.

Maca thought for a moment, took the time-turner out of her bosom, and looked at it over and over.

This thing was invented by modern wizards, but its core component, the small hourglass embedded in the middle of the gold ring, was not made by modern wizards. The golden gravel inside the hourglass, to be exact.

He could sense from the sand and gravel that some strange magic was constantly flowing, and it seemed very mysterious.

If you want to ask, why Maca suddenly took out the time turner at this time, it is because he is really hesitant now.

He still has nothing to do about the mysterious ancient magic mirror, but the crux of the problem falls on the strange and terrifying mirror.

According to the information revealed by Snape, Greenwald's methods are indeed powerful. But now, the solution can be said to be clearly in front of his Maca.

But no matter how he solves it, that mirror is always on his path, and there is no way to get around it.

So, there was only one thing he had to do now - find a way to deal with that mirror first. If he is always subject to that mirror, then no matter what he wants to do, he will eventually find it difficult to get in.

“…… Five hours and twenty-three minutes. Maca looked at the time-turner in her hand and muttered softly.

Someone as smart as Greenwald would not have missed the time turner, but why would he be completely unguarded against it? Obviously, he probably knows more about the time converter than Maca.

Not to mention that more than five hours can't affect his plan at all, even the time rules are limited, which will make people who use it hit walls everywhere, and even one careless will have to worry about his life.

After a few uses, Maca has already experienced the feeling of being struggling.

And now, it is necessary to avoid the limitations and risks of the rules of time, and at the same time find a way to deal with the key to the ancient magic mirror. He was faced with a terrible situation in which time was running out.

After some hesitation, Maca's brow gradually widened from frowning, as if she had a decision in her heart.

He put away the time turner again, pulled himself together again, and left the dim and gloomy town in a spatial distortion.

What's next? Isn't that obvious? He wants to use the five hours and twenty-three minutes that he keeps repeating to build a real journey through time and space!

……

When it comes to the study of magical knowledge, Maca has always been focused. But in the recent period, continuous emergencies have occupied almost every day of his life, so that he can't calm down and do what he wants to do.

Originally, he didn't think about using a time turner in exchange for more time for research. But the risks and hidden dangers in this have made him never implement this idea.

Because no one knows if going back in time again and again will also bring some kind of unpredictable burden to the body.

But now, Greenwald's behavior forced him to do so.

So, in this unknown more than five hours, there was a strange and inexplicable scene on the secret island in the Mediterranean:

Every few seconds, a figure appears in front of the gates of the Magic Tower, and without hesitation, it rushes straight to a specific location in the jungle of the secret island, drops a small tent, and then eagerly dives into it.

They each occupy a corner of the island, separated from each other by a certain distance, as if they have no idea what is happening around them, and they do what seems to be the same but completely different things.

Without the cover of the jungle, they could even glance at each other's presence when they turned their heads, but all of them seemed to be unaware of the wonders that were happening on the island, or they didn't want to pay attention to them.

Towards the end of the five hours, the tents on the islands disappeared one after another, as if everything that had happened in those five hours had been a mysterious dream.

Eventually, only one tent remained on the uninhabited island, and the people who had previously gotten into it quietly reappeared. I saw him silently put away the tent, and then looked around left and right.

"It's not big enough......"

There was a strange look on his face, and although he looked refreshed, his eyes were full of exhaustion. He didn't stay long, either...... Soon, he pulled out a glittering golden gadget from his bosom, and when he reached out and toggled, it was gone.

But it was the last sentence he said to himself that made several uninhabited places in the world stage this surprising and terrifying scene at the same time as this secret island.

……

Maca felt very tired, really tired, and this fatigue could not be completely eliminated even by potions.

It's not that he hasn't rested, but even if he falls asleep, he can only sleep for five hours each time. The residual physical exhaustion and mental fatigue continued to accumulate in the retrospective, washing away his nerves that were gradually tensing.

How many times has this been? Thinking of this, Maca looked down at the notebook placed on the table...... Oh, it's already thousands, and it's more than 200 days when converted into days.

After glancing at the hourglass timer on the table, he leaned his whole body back on the back of his chair and let out a long breath.

Time can change a lot of things, and it can change people at the same time. In the past two hundred days, he has been immersed in research, using his own backtracking again and again as research materials, and devoting himself wholeheartedly to it.

He couldn't give himself too much time to think, or he wasn't sure if he would change his mind.

But now, he suddenly found that even though the original incident was still deeply imprinted in his mind, there was nothing missing in every detail, but ......

“…… Luna. ”

Maca suddenly pulled open the drawer next to her and pulled out a small picture frame. Behind the framed glass, a bewildered-looking girl was looking curiously at him, beyond the frame.

The magic photos were all black and white, but he seemed to see a faint golden glow, a dazzling color that belonged only to this girl.

However, this golden color spread in his memory, almost drowning everything. No, what Luna has is more than this golden ...... There's so much more about her that fascinates him, and so much more......

"More...... What the? ”

Since when did his memories begin to blur?

Maca's eyes widened, trying to look at the girl in the frame, and there was an inexplicable wavering in his eyes.

Suddenly, he snapped his eyes shut and took a deep breath.

After placing the frame in the corner of his desk, he turned his gaze to the paper in front of him again. The self on top is dense, but it is not as neat and orderly as before, but it looks more and more sloppy.

Obviously, the non-stop work has made some changes to him, and if he had been in the past, he would not have been able to write the research material like this.

Maca picked up a large stack of manuscript papers next to her, flipped through them hurriedly, and then gently tossed them aside.

In terms of research results, more than 200 days have not been in vain, and he has already drawn a lot of speculations and conclusions about time regression. For example, even after going back thousands of times, his appearance has not changed in the slightest, and even his hair has not grown even an inch.

For example, going back too long can be detrimental. After a few attempts at moderation, he felt an indescribable discomfort in his own body, and although on the surface, it seemed to only make people feel nauseous, but he knew that there must be more than that.

There are a few similar research behaviors that use themselves as test subjects, but there are not many of them. After all, he didn't dare to joke with his life, he wasn't the kind of madman who could even kill for the sake of research.

But the most important thing is that he has never made much progress in terms of the main research object, the time rule rune. Even with the rune table after the Book of Sins as a reference, this level of rule was still too mysterious for him.

Maca rubbed her forehead, pressed the indelible tiredness to the bottom of her heart, and stood up on the table. The hourglass timer on the table is about to flip automatically, and the break is over again.

And now, he's going to turn the time turner again, go back five hours and start the next step of his research again.

“…… When this incident is over, you have to take a good rest. He muttered a little whimsically, waited for the last grain of sand in the hourglass to settle quietly, and then waved his hand to put away the tent.

At the same time, his tired body disappeared in place.
