Chapter 42: The Time Turner
Time Converter (Pseudo)
"Grade: Dark Gold"
"Hint: Turn the inner ring, and each lap will give you an hour of time to rewind. But remember, the longer you go back, the higher the risk of the user getting lost in the torrent of time! ”
"Paradise Review: This is a failure left on the path of exploring time, and sadly, many people think that they have touched the essence of time."
"Warning: This item can only be used in this world!"
"Warning: Using this item will greatly increase the plot offset!"
Really!
Mu Yan couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes.
How to put it, it is expected and unreasonable.
This kind of thing that can turn back time and make people go back in time is really not so easy to get hold of.
If Mu Yan can use this thing, it will be no different from opening the hanging.
The best way in the world to restrain him - lose the lucky Harry, and it will be completely ineffective!
Don't look at Mu Yan who is busy all day long and immersed in his own experiments, in fact, he always meets with Harry and a few people every day to exchange feelings.
Even if you really encounter a situation where you are too busy to get out for a while, you will choose to find an opportunity to "meet" with a few people at the first time to understand the recent situation of several people.
It can be said that he walked extremely carefully in every step, walking on thin ice!
He consciously felt that he was not a very smart person, and he could not control the overall situation thousands of miles away, so he had to put himself in the middle of things, try to do things carefully, and arrange all aspects thoughtfully, so as to avoid accidents to the greatest extent.
Since he can't be a bystander, Mu Yan feels that he must at least be an authority who can control the details!
With the talent of the three of them, they can't be too careful.
But if there is a time converter, it's a different story entirely.
Although the rumor of a time turner can't change what has already happened, Mu Yan can use this thing to go back in time again and again, and solve the things that threaten Harry in advance!
Even if something can't be solved, it can be weakened, so that Harry and the others can live more safely.
In this way, Mu Yan can save a lot of time, at least he doesn't have to spend part of his time chatting with the three of them every day.
Although he is no longer bored with this kind of daily routine now, and he is perfectly integrated into this segment, and can chat with them back and forth every day, but if he can squeeze out more time to study what interests him, why not?
Mu Yan gently twisted the incantation on the golden ring with his fingers, this alchemy work uncharacteristically reduced the volume of the item, and used a variety of miniature array arrangement techniques, which had immeasurable research value for him.
It's a pity that this thing is destined to be out of his way.
Even if he forcibly wins the Time Turner in the end, the plot offset will be increased by Hermione not getting the Time Turner, which is the last thing he wants to see right now!
He sighed and handed the time-turner back to Dumbledore.
"I give up!"
"......" Dumbledore.
Although he thought of this possibility when Mu Yan asked to see it, hearing Mu Yan's words, Dumbledore almost didn't catch his breath.
"Kid, do you know what this thing is?" Dumbledore hesitated and asked.
"You know, the time turner, I've seen it many times in books." Mu Yan opened his mouth nonchalantly.
"What about you...... Still choose to give up? Dumbledore still couldn't believe it.
No one in this world can resist the temptation to go back to the past, even if you can only do things related to learning, but still no one can resist such a temptation!
Not to mention someone like Mu Yan who is so young that he can't even be considered a formal wizard.
Even after all the storms and waves, Dumbledore's mind was a little confused right now.
Today in this 12-year-old boy, he sees too many differences.
Maturity far beyond this age; terrifying killing intent; Resoluteness in the face of temptation without hesitation to give up!
All of this is a testament to the extraordinary nature of this child's future destiny, but ......
- What did I go to all the trouble to put on such a test?
Dumbledore suddenly felt a little angry.
He treated this thing as a treasure, but Mu Yan didn't want it anymore!
The professors all looked at each other in astonishment.
"That's a good baby, don't you really want it?" Professor Flitwick leaned close to Mu Yan's ear and asked urgently, and quickly stood back in place.
They said beforehand that they couldn't communicate too much with the students in the office.
Mu Yan glanced at him with disdain, when he was tested just now, he pretended to be fine, and didn't reveal anything to him, but now he is not in a hurry, but this goods is in a hurry.
"I give up!" He looked at Dumbledore with a determined look in his eyes, not wavering in the slightest, although his heart was constantly dripping blood.
"You, why did you do that?" It wasn't Dumbledore or Flitsch who asked this, but Hermione, who stood by and barely felt present.
She looked at Mu Yan with an angry expression, her eyes full of doubts.
Obviously, this kind of reward that is not obtained through fair competition is really difficult for her to accept.
Even if this person is her good friend and has 10,000 reasons to give her the reward, but the other party obviously has the strength to win the reward, but he voluntarily gives up.
This made Hermione suddenly feel like she was being chared, and for this girl with a lot of self-esteem, it was even more uncomfortable than losing the test.
"I just think you need this thing more than I do." Mu Yan looked at her and explained seriously, "With such a thing, it's just a chance for you to catch up with me!" ”
"You...... How can you say that! Hermione's self-esteem was hit by 10,000 points in an instant, although this is a fact, it is too hurtful to say it from Mu Yan's mouth!
Feeling the complicated gaze coming from four directions, Mu Yan grinned.
"Haha, of course it's a joke!"
"Who wouldn't be tempted by this kind of baby?"
He looked at the professors, the smile on his face faded, and his expression gradually turned serious.
"I'm sure the professors know what kind of person I am."
"How could I possibly control myself from studying such an unknown thing, especially something involving the sorcery of time that is high above?"
The three professors all nodded approvingly, everyone still remembers the fact that Mu Yan entered the school infirmary last year because of "studying time witchcraft".
In the first grade, I dared to study time witchcraft, and this is no one!
Even at Hogwarts, this is notoriously ridiculous.
Who doesn't know that the Ministry of Magic has piled up a mountain of people who died because of studying time witchcraft, and you dare to touch such a dangerous thing in a first grade, you are completely looking for death!
"So, for the sake of my life, I think I'd better give up!"
After saying this, the three professors immediately nodded in agreement, what they said was too reasonable! Why didn't they think of it just now?
From what they had learned from Madam Pomfrey, Mu Yan had accidentally entered the school infirmary last year because of experiments more than his entire academy combined!
Such a person is unlikely to survive eight years of school career.
Giving him the time turner at this time is completely catalyzing death!
The three professors all thought of this, and their faces were solemn.
Fortunately, Mu Yan showed strong restraint at this time, otherwise they would really consider whether to give Mu Yan a ban or something.
"Fortunately, this guy knows that studying time witchcraft is looking for death, and he can give up decisively at such a time, and it is not to the point of being hopeless!"
The professors all nodded secretly, very relieved, last year's incident was still not in vain, which made several professors suddenly feel that Mu Yan, a young man, still has a glimmer of hope for salvation!
“.…..” Mu Yan.
Hey, hey, hey! I'll just make up a reason, what kind of eyes do you have?
There was silence for a few seconds, as if he felt the resoluteness in Mu Yan's tone, and Dumbledore could only reluctantly accept this fact.
"Well, if you insist on doing it......"
"Then I announce that this year's Time Turner will be owned by Miss Hermione Jane Granger."
"Miss Granger will stay later, and you will make a vow in the presence of the two professors!"
Dumbledore hung the time-turner around Hermione's neck and patted her on the shoulder encouragingly.
Hermione nodded a little reluctantly, which made Dumbledore very helpless, when will something like a time turner be forced into someone else?
"As for Mu Yan...... he turned around and looked at Mu Yan, who was a head taller than Professor Flitwick next to him, with a complicated look in his eyes.
"As one of the two best students in the second year, you can make a personal request to me that is not too excessive."
"But don't shirk this time, this is what you deserve!" Dumbledore glanced at the two professors, and both Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick nodded to Mu Yan.
Obviously, this is a rule that they have agreed on a long time ago.
Private requests?
Mu Yan's eyes narrowed, and his gaze shifted from Dumbledore to the large desk.
To be precise, it was transferred to the fiery phoenix on the desk.
"I've heard that the Phoenix's Tears are extremely rare test materials, and they are basically not found on the market in the wizarding world."
"I'd like to have some to use as experimental material."
Fox's tears!
Dumbledore glanced back at the phoenix, who was carefully cleaning his feathers, and muttered:
"Kid, there's a reason why Phoenix Tears can't be found in the market!"
"One is that the phoenix itself is very rare, and the other is that the phoenix only sheds tears for those who are recognized by it, and I can't change this......"
Looking at Mu Yan, who was frowning and contemplative, Dumbledore suddenly showed a mischievous smile of a child.
"But you're lucky, I happen to have some here!"
He took out a small finger-long test tube from his pocket, stuffed with a burgundy cork and painted with red wax on the side, and sealed the tube completely.
At a glance, the inside of the test tube is transparent, as if nothing is installed.
But when Dumbledore put the test tube in Mu Yan's palm, Mu Yan immediately felt the weight in his hand.
"Use it well," Dumbledore clasped Mu Yan's palm together, "As you said, this is a rare experimental material!" ”
"Thank you for your generosity!" Mu Yan received the test tube into his bag and bowed slightly.
