553. Time Converter
"Perhaps my grandfather had already thought that he had deliberately cooperated with Madame Zabini in closing the door."
Milton said in a more suffocating voice.
"He just doesn't want to involve us."
Scott did not contradict his words.
He didn't know if old Mr. Graves really thought so, but since Milton was willing to take everything as his grandfather's kindness, he wouldn't question it without eyes.
"Here."
Scott stopped and looked up at the ceiling.
He lifted his feet and stood on a chair, which grew larger and closer to the ceiling above him.
Then, he raised his hand and touched the ceiling.
As the magic collided, several layers of complex magic circuits appeared.
Obviously, there is Dong XZ in the middle of the ceiling, and these magic circuits play a role in concealing magic fluctuations, isolating Scott's magic perception to a certain extent.
Scott breaks open the ceiling and removes an inconspicuous stone from it.
Then he shrunk his chair back to the ground and examined the stone in his hand.
"There's an alchemy item in there." He said to Milton.
As he spoke, he broke the stone and took out a round sheet of metal.
He observed the magic circuit engraved on the metal sheet, and forcibly activated the constant spell on it through his magic.
"It's a magic item used to break through spatial limitations and positioning."
He handed the sheet of metal to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore looked down for a moment, then nodded.
"It should be a matching alchemy item, and Ms. Slytherin also has an item similar to a portkey in her hand, which can be combined to break through the limitations of spatial magic in this room."
"It's similar to the feathers I used to locate and jump into space," Scott said. ”
"It seems that Miss Slytherin's mastery of space magic is also amazing."
Dumbledore said, handing the sheet of metal in his hand to Mr. Grevis.
"This must have been done by Zabini!"
Mr. Graves said angrily.
"Some time ago, the house was open to her, and she put this piece in the ceiling while we weren't looking."
"We have no evidence of all this." Milton said, "Although she has been taken away by the Aurors, it is difficult for the Ministry of Magic to convict her today. ”
Mr. Graves' voice trembled a little, "I know that she is a pure-blood after all, and with the means she has always used, the power in her hands cannot be underestimated. ”
Scott was a little annoyed, "I'm sorry if I had been as careful as I am before......"
Milton shook his head.
"It's none of your business, we were all attracted by the movement outside at that time, and you didn't have time to take a closer look."
"yes, it's none of your business." Mr. Graves also said, "You've done your best." ”
Despite what they all said, Scott was a little unhappy with himself.
He believes that probably because his strength has improved too quickly, he is not as cautious as before, and this incident is both a lesson and a warning.
He didn't speak, but secretly warned himself that he couldn't be so careless in the future, but should not let go of any details.
At this point, Dumbledore tapped him on the shoulder.
"I'm fine, Professor." "I just reflected on it," Scott said. ”
Dumbledore didn't say anything more, he comforted Mr. Graves and Milton a few more times, and then returned to Hogwarts with Scott.
Milton stayed, of course, at home, and when his grandfather died, he and Mr. Graves had to deal with the aftermath.
Upon returning to Hogwarts, Scott noticed that every student was looking at him curiously.
It seems that the news of his sudden departure from class has spread throughout the campus.
"Scott, what happened before?"
"Professor Snape died with his nose crooked!"
"Ravenclaw was deducted twenty points!"
Scott didn't say much to the classmates who accosted him, only telling Roger and Eddie a rough idea of what had happened.
But about the lies of old Mr. Grevis, he completely concealed them.
Roger and Eddie were furious when they heard Scott's story.
They believe that Medea is just better at disguise than Voldemort, and is essentially a Dark Lord who does things like Voldemort and has no bottom line.
While they denounce Medea, Scott is thinking about something else.
Twice in a row, Medea was only possessed by a ceramic doll and did not reveal her true identity, which made Scott always unable to catch her.
This is a conundrum that Scott hadn't considered before.
Ever since mastering the undodgable "Gangnir", he thought his attack magic was sufficient, but there was nothing he could do in such a situation.
Although "Gangenir" is called an undodgable supermagic, it is limited to targets within line of sight, and does not ignore spatial distance like Odin's artifact in mythology.
If he wants to achieve that effect, he can only combine the magical systems represented by "Gangenir" and "Yggdrasil".
With this in mind, he thought about it carefully.
But it's a pity that both of these kinds of super magic belong to the category of spells, and in the study of spells, although Scott is still quite talented, he is not as handy as learning transfiguration, and he doesn't have a good idea for a while.
Both "Gangenir" and "Yggdrasil" are very complex super-magic, and it is very difficult to learn just one or the other, let alone combine the two.
The study of these two types of supermagic alone is quite traceable, and Scott can learn it step by step based on the knowledge left by his predecessors, but if he wants to combine them, the difficulty is self-evident.
But if it can really be done......
Scott began to imagine.
As long as the opponent's soul breath is captured when casting the spell, then no matter if the opponent escapes to the ends of the earth, "Gangenir" can break through the space and chase after it.
That's the real inescapability!
Thinking of this, Scott couldn't sit still at all.
He jerked up and walked out of the dormitory.
"Scott?"
"What are you going for?"
Eddie and Roger asked.
"I have some new ideas."
Scott dropped a sentence, ran to the common room to talk to Helena, and then went to the Room of Requirement.
After the study door opened, Helena also came here through the wall.
After seeing the portrait of Ravenclaw, Scott hurriedly told her his thoughts and asked her for help.
"Combined? I used to have such thoughts, but it was too difficult in it, so I didn't warn you. ”
Ravenclaw wasn't surprised.
"I think over time, when you reach a certain level of mastery of those two types of supermagic, you should be able to go in that direction."
Helena asked, "Do you think that's something Scott can do in the future?" ”
"It's just what I expect from him." "I'm not sure he'll be able to do it." ”
Scott asked, "If I want to do that, where do I start?" ”
"Initial Rune Rune." Ravenclaw said, "You've only got a part of it at the moment. ”
"I think so." Scott nodded knowingly.
"But it may be too late." Helena said.
Scott said, "Time turner. ”
"It's also a way." "While the time-turner is an overdraft of the future, it's the best way for you to boost your chips." ”
"I've always been discouraged of students using time converters, but if it's you, you can apply for one."
Helena frowned.
"Time turners are dangerous, remember, you can't go back more than five hours, and don't meet your old self."
Scott nodded.
He decided to go all out.
In addition to applying for a time converter, he is also ready to apply for the privilege of not going to class, as well as the right to use the crown.
With the help of the crown, it can also save more time.
And in the experimental stage, with the assistance of arithmetic divination, it can also save him a lot of detours.
Without wasting any time, Scott left the Requirement Room and explained his thoughts to Dumbledore and Professor Flitvier, respectively, and made an application.
Both Dumbledore and Professor Flitwick were well aware of the prophecy and the difficulties Scott would face, and they readily agreed to Scott's application.
Back in the dorm, Scott told Roger and Eddie about his decision not to go to class again.
"I'll support you logistically."
Eddie patted his chest and said.
"Using the time turner, you need potions to replenish your stamina and energy, by the way, if you have the help of the elixir at a critical moment, you will be more likely to succeed, in short, the purchase of potions can be handed over to me!"
Roger also said, "If you don't have time to eat, I can deliver it to you." ”
Scott wasn't polite, "I'll leave it to you." ”
The application for the Time Turner was subject to approval by the Ministry of Magic, and before that, Scott took time off work with Roger and Eddie to attend the funeral of Mr. Graves Sr.
The funeral took place on the top of the hill where Mr. Greaves Sr.'s house was located.
In addition to their three roommates, Dumbledore, Professor Flitwick, and the original members of the Tower of Babel organization all arrived.
Of course, Mother Milton also came out of the [Eye of Odin] space.
At the funeral, Scott also saw Milton's uncle's family.
His uncle was more like old Mr. Graves than Milton's father, and even his unsmiling and hard-hearted personality was similar.
The relationship between the two families does not seem to be close, and they are even a little distant from each other.
All those present at the funeral did not see the body of old Mr. Grevis, and from the very beginning the coffin, which was placed in the middle of the flowers, was tightly covered.
Others were not too surprised by this, but thought that the body of old Mr. Graves had been destroyed by Medea.
But Milton secretly tells Scott that the coffin does not contain the actual body, but a stone of the same weight as the body.
"My father never made up his mind." He whispered, "But when Uncle came back, he immediately carried out his grandfather's orders. ”
Scott didn't comment on this, just comforted, "This is the choice of old Mr. Grevis, he wants to shelter you offspring." ”
Milton added: "My father and Uncle had a big fight, and our relationship will be even more estranged in the future. ”
Scott patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't forget, you have a unique musical magic, and this is also a unique inheritance, and when you get married and have children, you may be able to develop a special family."
Milton shook his head.
"You know, I'm never going to have a crush on anyone, and I certainly don't have any plans to get married."
Scott then remembered that his little friend seemed to be asexual.
All he could say was: "In the future you can adopt a child, or teach a few apprentices, or even develop a school of musical magic." ”
Milton finally smiled, "That's too far away. ”
After the funeral, Uncle Milton's family left in a hurry, reportedly for fear of Medea's revenge.
Scott was also a little worried that Medea, who had been fooled by the lie, really wanted revenge, so he let Milton's parents live in the [Eye of Odin] space together.
Milton, on the other hand, returned to Hogwarts with Scott.
The day after returning to Hogwarts, Scott received a time turner from Dumbledore.
Dumbledore told him that thanks to Ms. Bones' help, Scott's application would be approved.
Scott patiently listened to Dumbledore's talk about the use of the time turner before thanking him and leaving.
Later, he took the crown from Professor Flitwick.
From that day on, Scott did not go to class again.
He set his hourly course of action according to the frequency of use of the time turner, set up several studios through the Requirement Room without disturbing each other, and then plunged headfirst into the sea of learning.
The first thing he needed to overcome was to master the runes of Rune.
Although his first acquaintance with the Rune Rune was in the same vein as the ancient magic script he had studied before, that is, the Runi Script, it was undoubtedly much more difficult to learn.
Each of these runes represents more and more complex meanings than Runes, and also contains more powerful magical powers.
Not to mention the connections and combinations between different runes, which are even more esoteric and complex.
Even with the help of the crown, Scott spent a lot of effort.
In order to save time, he did not even go back to the dormitory, but arranged the bedroom directly in the room of requirement.
For a while, he almost disappeared into Hogwarts Castle.
Logistically, it was also Eddie and Roger who took turns delivering meals to Scott according to his schedule.
And because they don't have the same amount of time as each other, they don't deliver meals as often as they do at Hogwarts, and Scott needs more than three meals a day, which requires them to go to the kitchen to order meals frequently.
Eddie and Roger need to take lessons, and later, Fred, George, and Luna join in taking turns delivering meals.
With the help of everyone, Scott made the most of the time turner, and it only took a month to master the initial rune rune.
Of course, a month is for everyone else.
For Scott, it took him half a year.
