Taking the Eye of Agamotto and the Time Turner, two time-related items in his hand, Shivin silently walked down the marble staircase of the main tower of Hogwarts to the direction of the entrance courtyard.

At this point in time, the students of Hogwarts had mostly returned to the common room, and the castle was empty, except for the sound of Xiwen's footsteps echoing through the wide space.

Descending to the first floor, Xiwen, who was about to turn to one of the stairwells and return to the Slytherin common room, suddenly stopped, and walked as if he had made up his mind to a hidden corner in the entrance courtyard corridor.

He pinched out the seal of Kama Taj in his hand, and applied the time spell to the hourglass-shaped time turner in his hand, causing it to spin quickly and non-stop, turning 4,465 times with unmistakable precision.

In an instant, although Xiwen was still taking steps towards the corner of the courtyard, he felt that he was flying backwards very quickly.

Before his eyes swept all sorts of clouds like lakes; At the same time, it was as if something was knocking in his ears, and his brain hurt when he hit the ground; And even if he wanted to speak, he couldn't hear his own voice at all, only intermittent echoes came to his mind from time to time.

This continued for a long time before it stopped, and at the same time Xiwen also stopped, staggering to the railing in the corner of the entrance courtyard.

He looked up at the night sky, where the snow fell like goose feathers, glittering in the castle lights. Although it was the middle of the night, the Christmas atmosphere at Hogwarts had not yet dissipated, and the walls were still covered with torches, illuminating the corridors. The floors, walls, and even ceilings were cleaned spotlessly, and the entire castle looked like it had been washed by heavy snow.

Xiwen looked at the heavy snow that had accumulated in the courtyard, and suddenly shivered, feeling the extreme cold. Only then did he realize that he was still wearing a thin summer robe.

After thinking about it for a while, and making sure that there should be no one in the dormitory at this time, he silently opened the door of the dimension and returned to his bed, and casually pulled out a thick dress from the cabinet and put it on his body.

"I said why I haven't seen this dress for a long time, it turned out that I took it myself......" Xiwen straightened up the heavy coat on his body and smiled helplessly.

In fact, the signs that he had returned to the past had always been very obvious, and he had never noticed it, but he usually didn't think about it in that direction.

This is roughly the time when Shivin had just received a summons from Newt to open the dimensional door to the Albanian forest.

Time travel can take up to five hours when it's safe to do so, and it won't take long to simply send an Eye of Agomoto as a Christmas present.

That said, Xiwen had a chance to look at some other information that he wanted to know.

For example, the strange incident that happened in the Albanian forest needs to be investigated. It's about the powerful demon god in Strange's mouth!

Xiwen took a deep breath and opened a dimensional door to the depths of the Albanian forest.

The moon hangs high and the stars shine in the sky. However, under the vast starry sky, there was a black curtain that covered the sky and the sun, and in the blink of an eye, the moonlight and starlight that covered half of the sky turned into a dome-like cage, firmly enveloping a large forest of trees.

The black curtain is translucent, and through it it is possible to barely see the current state of the things that are shrouded in it.

On the dividing line under the drapery, two contrasts form between the two sides of the forest—

On one side are a variety of lush trees. Even in winter, there are still many trees, cedars and cedars standing proudly, leaving the forest full of greenery, and from time to time small animals that come out to hunt pass by Xiwen's feet; There are still some small grasses under their feet that have not yet withered completely, stubbornly surviving.

On the other side, the picture is completely different. In the curtain there was only a withered and almost rotten trunk, charred black, dry and weak, and there was not a single leaf on the few remaining branches, as if all the nutrients had been sucked dry; And the ground was also pitch black, like a burned remnant.

Xiwen was standing beside the black curtain with a serious face, observing its trajectory and the flow of magic.

After observing for a long time, he didn't see any signs of magic at all, and he could only vaguely distinguish that there was a unique power in it, but it was still difficult to identify.

Shewin took a few steps forward, only half a foot away from the curtain.

The closer he got, the more he could feel the energy within. It's a force that can suppress the efficiency of mana circulation, and it seems that this is the culprit that prevented Shivin and Newt from using any magic at the time!

In the effect of this suppression, Xiwen can't see the flow of magic, the principles of magic, or even anything related to magic! It was as if it should have been there forever as soon as it appeared, for no reason, for no reason.

In Xiwen's view, this black curtain that can suppress the flow of magic is not so much a magical force as it is more like a kind of worldly rule. It's like the rules of the universe such as the conservation of matter and the inability of the speed of light to be exceeded.

If that's the rule, it's no wonder that both Newt and Sivan couldn't use any magic when they were in the curtains.

But the question now is, if this rule is mastered by the demon god who is about to invade this world, then how can the wizards who rely on magic all the time fight him? Could it be that the wizarding world can only hope for the weak seal that will be broken sooner or later?

Wanting to experience the rules of the world more deeply, Xiwen silently raised his left hand, carefully applying a layer of flowing raggar amulet to his hand, and then slowly touched the black curtain in front of him.

However, the moment he touched the curtain, all the protective magic in Xiwen's hand was immediately completely dismantled by that rule, and even a strong suction force came from the curtain to devour the magic on Xiwen's body!

Xiwen's eyes froze, and he was about to withdraw his left hand, but another force in his body was suddenly induced, and he involuntarily fought against the suction.

"It seems to be...... The power of the Blood Curse? Xiwen felt the strange movement from the depths of his blood, and his expression was a little strange.

Won't the power of the Blood Curse be suppressed?

Is this because the power of the Blood Curse is not considered magical? Or is it that the rules that suppress magic can't detect the magic that lies deep in the blood?

With the power of the blood curse in his body, Xiwen easily withdrew his hand from the curtain, fell into deep thought, and was silent for a long time.

……

In order to continue his research into the power of this strange rule, Xiwen once again opened a door to a dimension.

This gate leads into the forests of Indonesia.

Severn remembers that on Christmas Day he went to Lemay's safe house to ask him for help in determining if the Eye of Agamotto was dangerous.

While chatting with Lemay in the workshop, Dumbledore came to visit him and asked Lemay to do him a favor - that is, to use a crystal ball to help him see how many forests were withering on a large scale.

Although Shewin was later kicked out by Dumbledore, using the excuse that he didn't want the underage wizard to be involved in dangerous matters, Shewin still remembered what he had said before Shewin left.

Dumbledore once said that a forest in Indonesia had a phenomenon similar to that found in an Albanian forest, with withered grass, dry trees, and extinct animals...... This is also the motivation for him to go to Lemay on Christmas Day to do a divination.

With this in mind, Xiwen came to Indonesia.

This forest also seems to be the place where Nagini was born, and there may also be dark wizards who are adept at using blood spells. So in order to avoid trouble, Xiwen opened the dimensional gate directly in the depths of the rarely populated forest.

Originally, he was still thinking that it would take at least half an hour to find the black curtain, and that when the time came, he would have to send back the Eye of Agamotto, and then use the time turner to return to the future before the five hours were exhausted.

But then he realized that his estimate was still too conservative.

The black curtain was so overwhelming that it could be seen from afar at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and there was no need to look for it......

The black drapery here is no different from the one in the Albanian forest, and the rules have almost the same effect.

Shivin wrapped his hand in the raggar amulet as he had done last time, then walked over to it again, reaching out to touch the curtain.

It was still a burst of suppressive effect on the magic power, which instantly caused all the protective magic to fail, and then the power from the blood spell acted spontaneously, confronting the strong suction.

'It seems that there is still a lot of room for development in this Melediths Blood Curse. Xiwen thought silently.

It seems that since this blood curse was tamed by Shivin, he has gained much more than he suffered. If it weren't for this blood curse, he might have failed in the process of invading the Mystic Division to obtain time energy, let alone going back in time to give him the Eye of Agamotto to his former self!

Just as Xiwen was silently thinking about the question of the blood curse, the curtain in front of him suddenly moved.

It snapped open a gap, and quickly moved a few feet forward, wrapping the Shevan around, and then quickly closing it back together.

If you had a third perspective, you would see that the huge black dome seemed to open its bloody mouth, and then swallowed the unsuspecting Xiwen into its belly in one gulp!

Xiwen really didn't expect this curtain to continue to extend and expand, and looked around in confusion.

The same dry trees, the same lifeless, the same inability to use any magic, now in the same predicament as the last time Newt was rescued.

However, this time seems to be more sinister, because at this point in time, the ghost Sevan only informed Dumbledore to go to Albania to save Sevan and Newt, and Dumbledore would not come to Indonesia again anytime soon to save the life of the future little wizard Sven......

By the time he came to check on the situation in Indonesia, it might have been the afternoon of the next day.

Xiwen sighed helplessly and secretly looked at the time turner in his hand.

Luckily, the power of time in the hourglass is still running, which means that if Xiwen wants to go back, he can directly use the time turner to go back to the future, even if the Eye of Agamotto is not sent back, it is just a matter of another trip, not a big problem!

And this just shows one thing, that is, the rules for the flow of magic that the demon god here has are not omnipotent, and it still has many limitations. For example, the power of the blood curse and the energy of time cannot be completely limited.

Thinking of this, Xiwen breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the front.

At some point, a young Southeast Asian wizard wearing a dark black wizard robe appeared in front of him, his face was not as weird as the dark wizard with a yin and yang face in Albania, he still looked like a human.

But the dark circles under his eyes were extremely severe, as if he had been punched twice in the eye.

And this is what can happen when you are too influenced by black magic.

"I didn't expect that there would be children who would deliver it to the door by themselves at such a late hour." He smiled sharply, looking at Xiwen in the eye as if he were looking at a prey. "With your soul, I think the master will be satisfied!"
