Chapter 698: Hall
The two of them got up and left the office directly, and Alan gently closed the door, and they went directly to the circular room they had passed before. As the door of the circular room closes, the circular walls rotate rapidly.
The first they entered was the Hall of Time, a room with diamond-like sparkles. Clocks can be found on every surface, ranging in size from grandfather clocks to travel clocks, hanging between bookshelves or standing on tables the length of a room.
Because of this, a rapid, never-ending ticking sound filled the room, like the neat footsteps of thousands of tiny processions. The diamond-like leap of light came from a bell-shaped glass dome standing tall at the end of the room. The bell-shaped glass cover was as tall as Harry, and it stood on a table, seemingly filled with a churning, glittering current.
Inside the hood, a small, jewel-like object floated up and down. This object is a small hummingbird, but it is not always a bird. At the bottom of its circular trajectory, the bird is carrying its eggs. As it rose from the glass cover, it cracked open, and a hummingbird emerged and rose straight to the top of the glass cover. But as the air currents fell, the bird's feathers were stained and wet again until they landed at the very bottom of the glass enclosure, where they were again locked in the eggs. This process of time is repeated endlessly inside the hood.
A closet with a glass front, and the wall where the closet was located was covered with all sorts of hourglasses - this was also where the time turner was stored, this kind of magic item was obviously easy to make a big mistake, and in the previous battle between the Ministry of Magic and Voldemort, due to Allen's deliberate efforts, there was no large-scale damage to the time turner as it should have been.
But this attitude of management also made Allen, who had experienced time travel himself, decide to strengthen the management of this thing later, and the sound of various bells ticking in the hall was intertwined, and the new silent wizard focused his attention on the hummingbird:" In that huge grandfather clock, the bird is constantly born and dies to show the scene of the cycle of time, like a phoenix in the flames of the cycle of nirvana eternal life, I think there is a great symbolism, the alternation of life, the cycle of fate, you left a similar question in that bronze knocker in the Ravenclaw common room. ”
"It's not for nothing that everything is in the ring, even that circular room with twelve doors is not without meaning, my research on time is still relatively rudimentary, and it is not much of a problem to steadily use the Hour Reversal Charm to make an area of this effect and a talisman to resist the damage caused by time rewind. It is said that some Netherel wizards can simulate the effect of stopping time by speeding themselves up, and it is even said that there are great arcanists who have studied the time field in the real sense of the word, but this ability obviously requires long-term research to obtain, and in my personal experience, the time field is the most difficult one I find at the moment- I'm just going to give you a rough explanation, our goal today is not it, nor is it the prophecy hall where the prophecy orb is stored behind the bell-shaped glass cover there, so let's get out of it first. Luna's answer caused Eren to turn his attention back to her.
The next thing the two of them entered was the cerebral hall, a square room that was very bright, almost empty, except for a table, and in the center of the room there was a huge glass tank of dark green liquid, large enough for people to swim in, and a lot of white things were slowly floating around in it—they were some brains.
"The most complex minds of human beings produce thoughts and thoughts, and the mental energy can cause no less harm to people than physical damage but more terrible, those tentacles that can produce thoughts in the brain—" As she spoke, Luna looked at Alan, and some filamentous tentacles extended from her head, like moving ribbons flying out of her, and unfurled in circles like rolls of motion picture films, and as soon as these tentacles touched Alan's skin, they immediately began to wrap around his body like ropes.
Seeing that Eren didn't have any startled reaction, Luna was a little disappointed and instantly took these tentacles back: "I have achieved quite a lot of research on the cerebral hall, and this kind of thinking tentacles are just the lowest way to use them. "Fragmentation" does not work for them, the superficial blow of this kind of physical spell cannot reach the mind, it can cause wounds that are difficult to heal, but because of the invention of the Doctor's Oblivion Ointment, and for us who have mastered other means, it is of little significance as a means of attack, but you have always envied me for the ability to detect your thoughts beyond your Occlumency. ”
Hearing this, Alan nodded, he actually had a little joy in his heart, he had decided when he met Ravenclaw for the second time in ancient times that he must learn this ability first—and then take a good look at what was going on in Luna's head.
"If you can get an enhanced version of the Regent Mind by studying it, then you can also get an enhanced version of Occlumency—although the principle is not the same......," Luna smiled at Allen.
Thrown with cold water, Alan was a little embarrassed, and he rushed towards the female silencer with his teeth and claws. "Don't say it when you look at my head!"
Luna jumped out of the way, "I'll be able to watch for a while before you learn." ”
The two of them continued to go deeper into the brain hall, and finally came to a dark room full of planets, as if floating in the darkness, various stars were moving in an orderly manner in front of them...... As they entered, Eren even felt like he was floating in the air sometimes.
"The hall of the planet is next to the hall of the brain, so you should look at them as a whole when you study, and some gravitational spells and prophecies are also very relevant to it. Astrology, also known as astrology, is a system that uses the relative position and relative motion of celestial bodies to explain or predict the fate and behavior of people. Celestial bodies, especially planets and constellations, predict changes in everything on earth in some causal or non-accidental way. Astrology uses the place of birth, the time of birth, and the position of celestial bodies to explain a person's character and destiny. Luna used her two hands to zoom in and out of certain corners of the universe at will, "Many Muggle-born wizards, and even some arrogant pure-bloods are scoffing at divination and prophecy, and even the centaurs who are good at observing the stars think that it is nonsense to predict the fate of mankind and war from the orbit of what planets, and they think that what happens to people cannot affect the stars, or blindly believe that the existence of the stars does not serve anyone- But in fact these effects on people are real, and it is true that the influence of the stars is not for the service of a certain individual, but for the service of all things in the world, and it is also affected by all things in the world, it is only the most observable part of the line of defense of fate, and if you can follow his line and ignore the irrelevant and discordant matters, you can prophesy. ”
"I have always attached great importance to prophecy and divination, and as I studied them, I found that almost all of Professor Sybil Trelawney's predictions were correct, and although many of them came true in unexpected or even unaware ways - many people did not believe in fate and disdained the so-called "theory of fate", but in fact he was able to form this character because of the upbringing that fate had given him. Alan expressed his affirmation of divination and prophecy, and he has always attached great importance to this aspect, "You seem to attach great importance to this room, so what abilities can be gained by studying this room?"
"Prophecy spells allow you to know long-hidden secrets, foresee the future, find hidden things, and see through deception, and it can unravel the mysteries of time, space, and conscious minds, making things seem clearer. Prophecies are a magic that is not easy to master, as they are variable realities covered in fog. It's likely that you misunderstand it, and it may change in the future due to other influences. But as you improve your skills, your way of looking at things is no longer a mortal's eye—you're not like me and don't have divine powers, and gods are more or less born with this ability regardless of their priesthood, so you'll have a harder time getting started than I am. As she spoke, Luna touched Alan's chin, and as she stroked the little fluff of her beard that had just emerged, it fell off automatically like the hummingbird in the Hall of Time before, "It's not as beautiful as a mustache, but in addition to prophecy, it also allows you to have an effect on things that sound more ethereal and unreal." ”
"Let me guess......" Alan touched his chin, which had become completely smooth again, and then thought of the other party's pretended goddess name, "Is it luck?"
"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest treasure of mankind. Some people's lives are lucky, and some people's lives are full of bad luck, but very few people can control their luck. If you study them thoroughly, you will not only be able to prophesy them, but you can even lift the veil of opportunity, circumstance, and chaos and glimpse deeper possibilities. When the elements of fate begin to work, there will be an infinite number of possible outcomes, which are not groping, because the understanding of these can see the nature of fate more clearly, "chance" is not like most mortals think, from this biased careful groping, you can forcibly change the odds of things happening like weaving, and gain a certain degree of ability to manipulate the fate of others. Luna was obviously quite satisfied with Alan's acuity, and she stroked Alan's bare chin for a while, "During the holidays, except for Helena and you who need to participate in learning the Nether Scroll, you have the rest of your energy in the Brain Hall and the Cosmic Hall - you haven't had time to seriously explore the seventh floor of our tower, and the Brain Hall, Time Hall, and Mystic Affairs Department that I imitate in it are the same." ”
For the two rooms in the basement of the tower, Alan had not had time to go there to carefully inspect and study, and after hearing Luna's words, Alan put this matter on his agenda, and the things he asked Luna to help store in ancient times were still fresh in the time hall in the tower.
