Chapter 10 Time Goes Back, Knowledge Is Like a Dog

Faced with Professor Trelawney's eviction, the students silently put their teacups in their place, then packed up their textbooks and closed their school bags.

"You don't have to take Professor Trelawney's words to heart, Harry."

As he descended the ladder of the divination classroom, Ron whispered comfortingly, "You heard what Clark said, she was just joking, scaring us." ”

"But Clark also said that she really has the ability to predict, and I really ......."

Harry saw Ron's worried eyes and finally had to change his words, "Okay, I'm just a little worried, I hope it's not true." ”

Next, they walked down the spiral staircase without saying a word, and Clark looked at the time and suddenly said, "I'm going to take an arithmetic divination class first." ”

"I'll go too, and we'll be together." Hermione said the same.

Neville nodded, but Ron on the side was surprised, "What? We're about to have an herbal class! ”

"Go over first." Clark waved his hand and said nothing, just hurried with Hermione to the arithmetic and divination classroom.

However, the two of them did not go now, but turned a corner at the end of the hallway, and after avoiding everyone's gaze, they found a remote classroom with no one at random.

"Do you want to use that?" Hermione looked at him a little excitedly, and Clark nodded.

However, he did not rush to get started, but first took out a silver pocket watch from his jacket pocket, and the time displayed on it was ten o'clock.

Then he picked up the discarded quill on a desk, held it in his hand, and then clicked on the [Psychic Warlock] ability table, and spent 1,000 experience points to exchange for a level 2 ability of [Psychic Prophecy] - [Time Mark].

This ability allows the caster to see what has happened in the past in an area, and is considered a superior sorcery for Reading Objects.

With all that in order, Clark pulled the slender gold chain from the collar of his robe.

"Flip it around first."

Hermione nodded, and the two of them stood opposite each other, holding the little hourglass and flipping it over.

Pale golden points of light floated out of the hourglass, like the thinnest gauze in the world, wrapping around him.

A faint golden light spread through his body, and Clark felt himself flying backwards at great speed, blurred colors and shapes flashing around him, his eardrums swollen, and he couldn't hear his own voice.

However, with the help of the psychic ability [Time Mark] activated in advance, as well as powerful psychic energy, for a moment, Clark seemed to enter some kind of wonderful state.

He felt his strength drained for a split second - and then, a series of magnificent images like sharp blades burst into Clarke's mind, stabbing at his soul with ferocity, and then being blocked out of it by the white light emitted by the fragments of the godhead of the god of knowledge.

And with the help of this moment, he seemed to see a torrent of history coming from the surface.

That's really a torrent of history!

Countless golden sands of time converged and rolled forward.

If you look closely, you will find that there will be countless images flashing on the surface of every grain of sand, which is the condensation of a person's life experience.

But before he could take a closer look, the grain of sand representing Clark suddenly rose into the air under the golden energy of the time turner.

Clark only felt that his body and soul were elevated at the same time, and he saw a brilliant river with no beginning and no end, and it was as if he saw an endless golden desert.

He is magnificent, ineffable, as if it contains everything in the world, including all possibilities.

Perhaps this is the essence of prophecy!

Clarke's heart suddenly dawned on him.

However, in the course of his thoughts, the grains of sand representing Clark had crossed a sleek curve with the help of golden energy, drifting towards the upper reaches of the river of time.

The time of this fluttering was also extremely short, and the next moment, he plunged back into the long river of time.

The rolling yellow sand in front of him washed like a tidal wave, and despite the help of the time turner, Clark felt extremely desperate for the first time.

Even though he possessed the fragment of the Godhead of the God of Knowledge, he firmly believed that he would be able to hold the throne high and turn into a star in the future.

But at this moment, facing the sand river of time like a wave in front of him, he had the experience of a short detachment, and then fell again, he couldn't help but feel fear and frustration.

He finally understood why Voldemort was so diligent in "immortality", and why alchemists chased immortality.

It turns out that each of us is just a grain of dust in the sea of sand of time, heroes and beauties, emperors and generals, but they are just fleeting, and only true gods can resist the erosion of time in the blink of an eye!

Clark's behavior today is really very dangerous.

It is necessary to know: the avenue is invisible, and the world of fertility is born; The avenue is ruthless, running the sun and the moon; The avenue is nameless, and all things are nourished for a long time; I don't know its name, but I am called it.

The avenue is indescribable!

Ordinary wizards like Hermione don't have the ability to observe beyond time, and even the occasional wizard with a more outstanding sense of spirit can only see some bizarre fragments.

Therefore, fools have foolish blessings, they can't see, they don't know, and naturally there will be no trouble, and as soon as their eyes are opened and closed, they will naturally travel through time.

However, Clarke, through psychic abilities and time turners, forcibly peeks into the deeper mysteries of time and observes the "way" of time, which naturally faces the risk of being inversely affected by these mysteries and knowledge.

Fortunately, he still has the mental barrier built by the fragments of the godhead, and the protection of the "sands of time" stored by the time-turner itself, so that he can avoid the fate of the soul from collapsing because of looking directly at the river of time.

Even this realization, although it could not bring him any benefit for the time being, was his greatest gain so far, surpassing all the wealth he had now.

Of course, the price to pay is large enough.

Clark soon felt his feet on solid ground again, and he looked up to find himself standing outside the divination classroom.

Above him, there was the closed door, and the sound of the students taking a divination class could be faintly heard.

"So, it's an hour ago?"

Clark looked into his hand and saw that the quill he had picked up was still in his hand, and he checked his book again, and found that the notes he had taken in the divination class were still there.

The only difference may be that Hermione is not visible around him, and the two of them use the time turner at the same time, but they don't appear together.

Clark groaned, and took out his pocket watch, which showed the time at 10:10 and the second hand still ticking.

"The pocket watch, backpack, and clothes are still there, and I won't travel through time and space naked like a Terminator, and the time of these items is still moving."

He put his pocket watch back in his pocket and speculated as he walked down the spiral staircase.

"So, it's not that I've gone back in time, it's that I've gone back an hour in myself, it's not that my consciousness has gone back in time, it's that I've traveled through time and space in the flesh!

In other words, it is not possible to increase the lifespan through this method, the total amount of time for each person is certain, and the time turner is only an advance of my future time, and cannot increase the time ......"

"Clark!" A familiar voice rang in his ears, and Clark found himself being pulled into an empty classroom.

It's Hermione!

"I used a time turner, and I found myself on the steps to the divination classroom, and I didn't have you around yet." Hermione told him what had happened to her.

"So you're waiting for me right here?"

Clark looked around and saw that it was the empty classroom they had just used the time turner in their childhood.

Hermione nodded, and Clarke's gaze turned to the table where he had taken the discarded quill, which was empty!

"What's wrong, Clark?" Hermione asked curiously.

Clarke pulled the quill out of his pocket, shook it in front of Hermione, and placed it on his desk.

"It's!" Hermione covered her mouth in surprise.

"Yes, a small time loop."

Clark nodded, and said, "I got the quill from this classroom, and I went back to an hour ago through the time turner, and put it on this desk in this classroom, and then I got it an hour later." ”

In other words, what we see in an hour is the history after being influenced by who we are now?

What if we don't come to this room, or if we take this quill now. ”

Hermione reached for the quill, but Clark took her hand.

"I don't think it's a good thing to pay attention to, or that it doesn't make sense in itself." Clark said, looking at her.

"Why? It's about the relationship between time, space, and matter, about time travel, and the grandmother's refutation, which in itself is some of the most interesting things in science fiction, and we are now able to study all of them. ”

Hermione looked very excited, "Besides, I'm a [mage], and I pursue knowledge and truth with a rational mind, isn't that what you're trying to do with my job?" ”

"Those who look up to the Tao, such as those who are immersed in the Tao, all know the things, and don't know the way."

"What?"

Hermione was confused by the words of Chinese that popped out of Clark's mouth.

"These words are the preface written by Xuanjun, a very famous great philosopher in ancient China, in his "Xuanjun Seven Chapters of the Secret Sutra". Clark explains, "I also saw a few words in the collection of books at home. ”

"I'm not not going to let you study, but I want to tell you that these things are not suitable for us to study now." He remembered what he had just seen when he had traveled through the river of time.

As this Xuanjun said, each of us has the nature to pursue knowledge and yearn for truth, but once we are immersed in these knowledge and truths, we will violate the laws of these truths.

To learn knowledge, we should learn in a detached, objective, and third-party attitude, and we can seek knowledge, but we must not indulge in it, otherwise we will be easily blinded by this knowledge, and we will not be able to see the farther road ahead. ”

Hermione heard Clark's words and began to reflect on herself, realizing that after using the time turner, she was indeed fascinated by the magical effect, and if it wasn't for Clarke's presence, she might have tried it again.

Clark looked at her and knew that this problem might be due to the "side effects" caused by the change of jobs.

The time turner is like a magic black box, and the little wizards who applied for it used the "sands of time" to travel back in time without delving into the truth.

On the contrary, Hermione, who turned into a [mage], lost the influence of chaos magic and regained her rational thinking, so she had the idea of finding out.

As for adult wizards, why don't they look into this?

It is important to know that all experiments on time travel were banned by the International Federation of Wizards in 1899 and approved by the Ministries of Magic.

Clark's use of the Time Manager was strictly supervised by Professor McGonagall.

It's just that the professor probably didn't expect that Clark and Hermione would be so smart, and they only got started once, and they discovered many mysteries related to time.

"The Ministry of Magic's strict restrictions on time travel make sense." Clark said when he saw that Hermione had finally regained her composure.

There is another sentence after the preface of the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters of the Secret Sutra".

I have often heard that it is not people who are diligent in seeking knowledge, but those who know who are diligent in seeking others. But I know it's wrong. Those who know it do not seek others, but they go out and chase people away. Its carving is deep and ruthless, like an eagle and a dog chasing a rabbit.

The translation of this means that I have heard that it is not people who are constantly pursuing knowledge, but knowledge who is constantly pursuing people. But I know, that's wrong. Knowledge is not about chasing people, but about chasing people. Its chase is brutal and emotionless, like a falcon and a hound catching a rabbit. ”

I don't know why, after hearing Clark's words, Hermione subconsciously shuddered, "What you said is too evil, right?" ”

Clark shook his head.

"Why do you think the Hogwarts library has a forbidden section? Why was some knowledge of the dark arts destroyed by the Ministry of Magic?

Perhaps because you were born in the Muggle world, you don't understand the horrors of supernatural knowledge.

Although we advocate rational thinking to look at transcendent knowledge, to analyze and study, we also cannot deny that behind those transcendent knowledge, there is often supernatural power, and the boundaries between this are very blurred.

People chase knowledge, and knowledge goes after people.

Delving too much into the power of time in the wizarding world increases the risk of being chased by the Time Hounds. ”
