Chapter 159: I'm still a child

If it weren't for knowing Ethan's strength, Hermione would have thought Ethan was crazy?

Or do you just say something big to fool yourself?

"Research...... The power of time? This can also be?"

"Why not?"

Ethan gestured to Hermione's neck, where the time-turner was dangling.

"Since this kind of tool has been created, it proves that time can be 'touched' to a certain extent, and since it can be contacted and used, isn't it normal to want to use this power better?"

That's right. ”

Hermione opened her mouth, and found that there was no way to refute Ethan's words, so she could only nod her head in agreement.

"But...... Can it really succeed?"

"If you don't try, who knows if you can succeed?"

It's like everything, if you don't try it yourself, you'll never know what the outcome will be?

Just like when he sensed the temporal energy escaping from Hermione's body, if he hadn't tried to mobilize those fluctuations, I'm afraid he wouldn't have figured out why he hadn't made progress on time.

Because he tried, he got something – and of course he didn't get anything.

But if he does nothing and allows the energy to dissipate naturally, then he will surely not find anything.

With a clue, Ethan also has the motivation to continue researching, in the eyes of others, Ethan seems to have suddenly ignited his enthusiasm for learning, and hit the self-confidence of his classmates again and again - no matter what course Ethan can easily complete, and no matter what kind of test the professors crumble, Ethan will always get a perfect score.

He did so well that some professors who didn't know the inside story thought that Ethan could apply for the 'graduation exam' and then go straight to the advanced class next semester.

However, Dumbledore refused on the grounds that Ethan was still too young, after all, Ethan's current apparent age is only about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he will enter the advanced class next year and graduate at the maximum age of sixteen, which is indeed a little younger.

The professors were persuaded not to ask the question again, and Dumbledore found Ethan again at the end of the semester.

And when he found Ethan in Snape's personal lab, he was immediately frightened by what he was doing.

"It's ......"

Ethan stood in front of a table with a bitten apple on the table, his right hand was open, his palm was facing the apple, and at the same time, there were circles of green magic around his forearm, these magic powers formed layers of mysterious magic arrays, and the core of the largest ring seemed to be held by Ethan in his hand.

And with the rotation of Ethan's palm, the apple on the table magically changed: it changed back to a full ripe apple, and then to a greenish state that was not yet ripe.

When Ethan turned in the other direction, the turquoise fruit turned back to ripe apples, and then to a state of being bitten off, and many bites were bitten off, and the flesh was eaten up......

Rotating in reverse, this time Ethan's speed of rotation increased significantly, and the fruit no longer stopped at the turquoise state, and even turned into the appearance of just bearing fruit.

At this time, Ethan's movements suddenly stopped, as if he could not continue, and the magic power on his arm suddenly fluctuated violently, as if it was about to collapse in the next moment.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Dumbledore immediately took out his wand to help Ethan control the out-of-control magic.

He stood here and watched for a moment, already understanding what Ethan was studying.

Time!

This is also a forbidden realm with countless mysteries for wizards. Because it is easy to cause irreparable and terrible consequences, wizards' exploration of the time realm is only scratching the surface, and although time converters can be made in large quantities, almost all wizards do not understand the principle of this.

Not only are they unaware of the principle, but even wizards are cautious about using it, most of them only use the time turner to travel back in time to a very recent time, and they don't dare to delve into other uses - such as traveling to the future, or to the distant past.

Because there are too many and complex issues involved. Just going to the distant past, how to get back is a problem. If you go back to the more recent timeline, you can quickly wait until the point in time when you activate the time turner, and then move on with your life.

But if you go back in time, you may not be able to go back to that point in time when you die of old age - and even if you survive until that time, you can't avoid getting older.

This is one of the most acceptable troubles, as it is possible to accidentally branch out of time, or to break an important timeline that causes the whole time to fluctuate or even collapse, or to trap yourself in a fragment of time, or even to make yourself non-existent.

Although it is very dangerous, there are actually people who have the courage to make great efforts to study it, but because it threatens the whole world, the Ministry of Magic still has strict control over this aspect.

That is, Dumbledore more or less guessed some of Ethan's details (of course, right or wrong), otherwise he would have stopped it when he saw others studying such a dangerous thing.

It turned out that Dumbledore's 'trust' in Ethan was not wrong, just when the magic containing the energy of time was on the verge of collapse and seemed to cause a catastrophe, Ethan slightly increased the output of his divine power, suppressing this part of the out-of-control magic again.

This kind of suppression would have an impact on himself, but with his current body, he could withstand it, and if he were a normal wizard, he might be hit hard.

Regaining his form and mana, Ethan slowly withdrew the time mana from his arm, and just as his mana was withdrawn, the apple on the table slowly disappeared as if it had never existed.

Dumbledore walked over quickly, taking a closer look at where the Apple had disappeared, then at Ethan.

"Is there anything out of the ordinary?"

"Rest assured, the only anomaly is that the apple has been completely erased from the timeline. ”

The power of time is so dangerous, and whether the apple is completely gone, or has not existed in the first place, or is trapped in some time fragment, Ethan is completely unclear, even if the spell was released by him, he can't give an accurate answer.

"If I knew you wanted to study this, I wouldn't have asked Snape to give you the time-turner. ”

Ethan shook his head and gave Dumbledore a laughable answer.

"Even without a time converter, I could still have researched this far. ”

The key to helping him figure it out was Hermione, who used the Time Converter, and after realizing that each item had its own timeline, the next thing he had to do was to connect to the timeline of an item, and the next thing he had to do was to study how the Time Turner connected to the timeline, and then use it for other things.

This process is cumbersome, and the time converter connects the user to that person's own timeline.

Ethan, on the other hand, has to connect an object to the object's timeline, which means that he has to play the role of a time converter himself - more complicated, he does not want to be a passive tool like a time converter, but to be in control, and can freely 'see' the past and future of the object.

In the process, the role of the time turner became less and less, and he began to think more and more about the Eye of Agomoto, that is, the power and rules contained in the Time Stone, and then combined it with his new understanding to try, which is why the state of his spell casting is similar to the use of the Time Stone.

Coupled with the blood of the creatures he had previously taken from the Periphery of Tomorrow, Ethan had been studying the rules of time, and it was almost certain that he would achieve this achievement.

The only regret is that he can be sure that his ability to manipulate time like a time gem can only be used in this world and the Marvel Universe, because he has been exposed to the time rules of the Marvel Universe and the Harry Potter Universe, but he has not been exposed to the time rules of other universes at all, and it is difficult for him to operate time in a universe that does not understand the rules at all.

Of course, as he became more and more aware of this rule, or power, these problems gradually ceased to be a problem.

looked at Dumbledore, who was still standing aside, and when he mentioned the time turner just now, Ethan suddenly thought: If you want to solve Voldemort, there is no need to be so troublesome, Lao Tzu just went back to the past and knocked her to death with a stick.

Then I thought that this was just killing Voldemort, and that there was no fundamental improvement to the general environment within the wizarding world, and it was likely to even get worse.

"Do you want to change history?"

"But the small things of recent decades are not as serious as history. ”

Ethan slowed down for a moment, his powerful self-healing ability had brought him back to normal - this was also seen by Dumbledore, and he was more and more sure of his judgment of Ethan in the first place.

"But I thought about it, this can't fundamentally change the current situation in the wizarding world, it is better to resurrect that guy and lure out those who should have been cleaned up a long time ago. ”

Hearing Ethan say this, Dumbledore secretly let out a sigh: as long as Ethan is not prepared to use the power of time to go back and make trouble.

"By the way, you didn't come here to talk to me about the time turner, right?"

"No, I'd like to ask you to represent Hogwarts in the Triwizard Tournament, so I'd like to ask for your opinion. ”

"Me?"

Ethan pointed to himself, seeing Dumbledore nod affirmatively, making sure the other man wasn't joking.

"I'm not old enough, am I?"

Dumbledore's face was so wonderful at this time that even Snape next to him looked like, 'Your joke is not funny at all'.
