Death, resurrection, re-death, resurrection......

With hours of repeated entry into the world of the soul, feeling the coldness, despair, and darkness enough to make normal people fall into despair and madness, even with Gellert Grindelwald's far more tenacious will than ordinary people, it is inevitable that symptoms of mental trance and forgetfulness will begin.

There is no doubt that this has reached the limit of what he can bear.

Especially the last two times, he even began to say incoherently some nonsense that others couldn't understand at all, and his eyes revealed a numbness that could not be described in words.

At this moment, this great wizard who can be compared to Dumbledore may no longer be able to say that "death is a great adventure".

Because the fear of death is now deeply rooted in the subconscious.

Whenever death struck, he would twitch, struggle, and resist violently, and the intensity of his brain waves had risen from dozens of times to hundreds of times.

Even if you don't have a wand, you can interfere with your surroundings and matter with magic and willpower alone.

Obviously, this is a precursor to the imminent awakening of the power of the mind.

As long as Grindelwald doesn't go completely crazy in this cycle of death and resurrection, then he may become the world's first psychic warlock.

Looking at the dense records on the notebook, as well as the experimental subjects with empty eyes and no words at all, Zuo Si couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Death is really interesting and fascinating."

According to the information currently available, the real world and the afterlife world are separated by a very special layer of draperies.

No known method can allow a living person to enter it, nor can it summon the soul inside alone.

Unless it is to re-enter the body and resurrect the soul.

On the other side of the curtain, there is no order, no so-called underworld, and no gods, some are just chaos and nothingness.

Eventually, all souls will forget everything and fall into the endless abyss.

Maybe it's reincarnation, maybe it's some kind of recycling.

In short, when they fall into the abyss, these souls lose their whole part as a human being and become another form of existence.

It's a pity that Grindelwald didn't dare to approach the abyss, otherwise I would have known all the secrets of the afterlife.

But that's enough for now.

At least I've got the key to death, and the next thing is how to find and open the door. ”

Just as Zuo Si closed the notes in his hand and began to pack up all the instruments in the room and take them away, Grindelwald, who had been lying on the chair for a long time without reacting, suddenly jumped up like crazy and shouted, "Ah!!! Stop...... Stop it! Stop it! Don't let me enter the world of death again! ”

"Calm down, you're Gellert Grindelwald, the great wizard who almost changed the world. Not to mention...... The experiment is over. Zuo Si casually comforted.

Hearing the words "the experiment is over", Grindelwald, who was still like a mad demon in the last second, trembled and slowly regained his composure the next second, while panting violently, he stared at Zuo Si with the eyes of a monster, and after a long time he asked: "What do you want to do to explore the world after death?" ”

Zuo Si replied with a smile: "It's just out of pure curiosity, and it doesn't have any special purpose, at least not yet." ”

"But your research direction is terrifying, far more dangerous than the frontiers of the Mysteries Division of the Ministry of Magic combined." Grindelwald spoke with a strong sense of vigilance and jealousy.

Because in the process of repeated death just now, he didn't feel the slightest hesitation or unbearability on the part of the young man in front of him, and his attack was so fast that it didn't look like he was killing someone, but crushing an insignificant worm to death.

That kind of attitude of extreme contempt for life is definitely not what a normal person should have, let alone a teenager.

And as a "prophet" with prophetic powers, he can't see even the slightest bit about Zuosi's future, as if the other party doesn't exist in this world.

"No, you're wrong. Peering into the boundaries between life and death is dangerous, but it's nothing compared to the time magic that Professor Crocker is studying.

In addition, I believe that keeping your curiosity alive will allow wizards to go further on the path of magic.

Oh, I almost forgot, the research I'm currently working on doesn't want to be known to Headmaster Dumbledore too soon.

So - I can only say sorry to you. ”

As the last word blurted out, Zuo Si raised the wand in his hand and released a blinding light from the front.

Grindelwald's heart instantly alarmed, and he subconsciously wanted to use his silent and wandless skills to fight back.

But unfortunately, his movements were still too slow after all.

"Forget it!"

Brush!

After the white bright light flashed, the previous horror in the old man's eyes turned into a daze, and the magic power that had just been condensed quickly dissipated after losing his memory, and he asked with a puzzled expression, "What happened just now?" Why is my house so messy? ”

"It's nothing, we talked about life or death and got you emotional, that's all." Zuo Si put away his wand and explained lightly.

You don't have to ask, you know, he just used the Oblivion Charm to erase all the memories related to the experiment in the other person's mind.

Now that Dumbledore himself is here, don't expect to know the secrets of the afterlife.

The voluntary agreement signed by Grindelwald was purely to ensure that even if this matter was exposed in the future, there would be no legal liability.

To put it simply, it is the last accident insurance.

"Life and Death......

Due to the memory loss, Grindelwald instantly fell into deep thought, desperately trying to find relevant content from the cluttered memory.

But before he could find anything, Zuo Si activated the nine-ring arcane magic [Memory Weaving] stored in one of the rings in a very covert way, and quietly replaced the disappeared part with a false memory.

When all this was done, he pretended to talk to the other party for a while before taking his leave and turning to leave.

Unlike most people who want to visit Grindelwald either to learn some wizarding secrets or to be able to predict the future for them, Zuo Si only wants to use his fearless attitude towards death to find out what the world will be like after death.

Other than that, he didn't want anything out of the old man, including the prophetic powers of the prophet.

Because compared to directly peeking into the past and the future through time magic, prophecy is really full of too many uncertainties, and it is even possible to make wrong judgments due to some blurred images and dialogues that are true and wrong.

Leaving Newmondard, Zuo Si immediately changed his whereabouts from darkness to light, and stayed in Germany for a short time.

And this appearance instantly caused a violent shock in the entire European magical world.

The ancient families and dark wizard organizations that had been eyeing him immediately flocked to this country in the heart of the European continent.

In just two or three days, several clashes broke out between these people.

During the fighting, they even blew up a Muggle-inhabited street, causing huge problems for the local Ministry of Magic law enforcement officers.

The latter even had to send a large number of people to repair the damaged streets and erase the memories of the witnesses.

Just as the accident had been settled and the entire German Ministry of Magic breathed a sigh of relief, a wizard from the Office of Disaster Protection hurriedly ran in from outside, shouting out of breath, "No...... Oh no! Those guys are right now on the streets of downtown Berlin! ”

"What! Berlin? Are they crazy? ”

The Minister of Magic instantly stood up from his chair, his whole body trembling with anger.

It's such a fucking bully!

Because he knew the details of these people and the inextricable connections with those ancient families, he originally planned to turn a blind eye, as long as he didn't make too much trouble.

But who would have thought that after blowing up a Muggle street, the other party not only had the slightest intention of wanting to rein, but began to intensify it.

"Nope! Not crazy! Instead, they blocked the genius who created the second Philosopher's Stone, Soth. I must remind you, Your Excellency, that if anything happens to this young man, it is a diplomatic incident in the truest sense of the word. Neither the British wizarding community, nor Albus Dumbledore himself, will give up easily. ”

As he said this, the wizard in the Office of Disaster Protection was so nervous that his voice trembled.

To be exact, anyone with even the slightest political sensitivity understands what the name Soss means at the moment.

If he was really kidnapped in the street, it would definitely be a shame and stain that the German wizarding community could not wash away.

"Gather everyone in the ministry who can afford to hold a wand!"

A layer of sweat appeared on the minister's forehead.

As an old man who had experienced Grindelwald's revolutionary wave in Europe and witnessed the rise of Voldemort and his Death Eaters in England, he would rather face a group of ruthless Dark wizards than a furious Dumbledore.

What's more, according to the newspapers, this young man still has the blood of the Dumbledore family in his veins.

Therefore, even if he risks offending some ancient families, he will never allow the other party to have an accident, at least not on his own turf.

"But Your Excellency, there are at least forty of them, and many of them are all good at black magic." The wizard of the Office of Disaster Protection cautioned.

The Minister of Magic glared at him viciously and asked sharply, "Do you think we have a choice now?" Don't talk nonsense! Hurry up and go to the conveners! If something happens, it's too late! ”

……

Just as the German Ministry of Magic began to mobilize, a fancy restaurant on Kurdürße in Berlin was now occupied by more than forty masked men who had broken in from outside.

As for the manager, the cook, the waiter, and the other guests, they were all kicked out by a Muggle expulsion curse.

Only Zuo Si was unmoved, still sitting in his place enjoying the food on the table, as if he didn't take these sudden guys seriously.

Because he had noticed that this group of people was not a group, but belonged to different forces, and there was no concealment of their wariness and hostility towards each other.

After eating a beef roll, he elegantly picked up the napkin and wiped the soup at the corner of his mouth, followed by a cup and drank a large sip of juice, and then asked with a smile: "Don't you want to say something?" If I don't, I'm leaving. ”

"Wait! You can't go! ”

A wizard who had apparently used voice-changing magic was the first to step forward.

Although her face was obscured by a silver magic mask, it was not difficult to tell from the bumpy figure under the robe that it was supposed to be a woman.

Of course, it is not excluded to deliberately drink polyjuice decoction or use transfiguration magic to change gender in order to disguise one's true identity.

"Oh? Are you sure you want to do that? ”

Zuo Si curled the corners of his mouth, and a sneer appeared that made his scalp tingle.

Before the witch could respond, he took out a piece of magic mercury from his bosom that had hit the crystal bottle and said to the other forces: "I don't need to say what this is, you should all understand. Whoever kills this woman and her companions for me will be given this vial of magical mercury that is enough to bring a man back from the dead. ”

Moment!

The witch, who was still menacing just now, immediately looked like she had been hit by a bullet, and her eyes revealed unbelievable horror.

She couldn't dream that the teenager in front of her, who looked like he was only a teenager, could come up with such a vicious plan in such a surrounded situation.

You must know that the reason why everyone present chased after them all the way was to obtain magic mercury.

Now that this thing appears in front of me and is at your fingertips, it is self-evident how you will react.

Next Second......

"Armor protection!"

"Faint!"

"Except for your weapons!"

"There are many obstacles!"

"Arvada gnaws on big melons!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Rumble! Rumble!

Colorful magic rays shot out from the tip of the wand in an instant, blasting the surrounding tables, chairs, and furnishings to pieces, and a large number of wood chips and plate fragments flew in the air.

Although Zuo Si himself did not know which forces these strangers belonged to, they themselves were obviously very clear.

So the moment the battle began, more than thirty people launched a siege on the witch and his four companions.

In particular, the Calling Spell is, in principle, not a counter-spell that can be used to defend against anything other than direct dodge.

Therefore, an unlucky guy was hit by the green light on the spot, and his whole body flew up and slammed into the load-bearing wall behind him, and then he breathed motionlessly.

As for the rest, they were not much better, they were basically all overwhelmed by the overwhelming evil curses, either the wand in their hands was knocked off, or they fell to the ground and lost the ability to resist.

After all, in wizard battles of similar level, quantity is always the only criterion to guarantee victory.

Whichever side can tilt enough spells at the enemy faster in a short period of time will have the absolute advantage.

This is also the reason why after Zuo Si proposed the magic scroll and spell storage technology, he immediately gained the attention of the entire wizarding world.

With the exception of the most top-tier forces like Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Grindelwald, most wizards have some difficulty even fighting two enemies.

There is no mercy or mercy!

A man shrouded in a black robe directly cast a cutting spell and gently swiped it on the woman's neck.

Burst!!!!!!

Blinding plasma erupted from the carotid artery, followed by violent struggles and convulsions, and then fell to the ground motionless.

As for the blood, it was sprayed everywhere, turning the restaurant into a dark red purgatory.

"Well done. This bottle of magic mercury is now yours. ”

Zuo Si did not break his promise, and immediately threw the crystal bottle in his hand to the other party.

The latter's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately reached out to take the bottle.

But he apparently forgot that he wasn't the only one who spied on magical mercury.

The moment the fingertips touched the bottle, the situation that had just calmed down suddenly erupted again without warning.

Only this time, the target of the siege changed from the dead witch and her companion to the man in front of him.

The only difference was that the man's companion was obviously prepared, and immediately activated a large number of magic scrolls that he carried with him for defense, and he could withstand the first round of siege, and still had the strength to fight back.

As a result, a fierce battle broke out between the two groups of people.

Some powerful blasting spells shattered walls, glass, and doors on the spot, quickly spreading from inside the restaurant to the streets outside.

Thinking they had been attacked, the Muggles scattered screaming and fleeing, and the police patrolling nearby were rushing to this side.

Obviously, things have come to such an extent that unless the local Ministry of Magic comes forward to work overtime to release the Oblivion Charm on all witnesses, it is absolutely impossible to calm down.

Looking at a group of dark wizards and guys of unknown origin dog-eat-dog, Zuo Si showed a playful smile, walked straight to the witch whose throat was cut, took off the silver mask, and immediately saw a beautiful blonde hair and blue-eyed beauty face about twenty-three or four years old, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Alas—what a pity.

But who made you plot against me?

But it's a bit of a surprise that throwing a single bone can make these guys kill each other.

It seems that compared to the complex deception of the Muggle world, wizards are still a little simpler, and they can't even see through this little trick.

Of course, it's also possible that they have relied too much on magic and have forgotten the importance of intelligence. ”

There was no doubt that the bottle of magic mercury just now was the bait that Zuo Si used to test the other party.

In fact, he hadn't expected this thing to do anything, he just wanted to find out how many factions these people were divided into.

But who would have thought that it would directly detonate a never-ending tragic battle.

Especially the three unforgivable spells of life-seeking, soul-snatching and heart drilling, these guys are more skilled than the other, and they know that they have a lot of lives on their hands at a glance.

After all, the biggest feature of the Avada Suo Curse is that the more people you kill, the stronger the killing intent you accumulate, and the more amazing its lethality will be.

A novice who has never killed a person before can easily fail to kill the spell after hitting the target due to insufficient killing intent when casting this spell.

In just a few minutes, Berlin's famous bustling street was reduced to rubble in the battle of wizards.

Many historic buildings have been reduced to worthless rubble and rubble by the destruction of the smashing and blasting charms.

As for the pedestrians, most of them fled after sensing the danger, so no ordinary people were injured or killed.

On the contrary, the policemen who rushed over to kill the terrorists were several of them affected by the spell and fell to the ground unconscious.

Seeing that the situation began to develop in an uncontrollable direction, Zuo Si finally put away his mentality of watching the excitement, raised his wand and aimed at the nearest unlucky egg, and released the compound spell he had invented.

I saw a ghostly light flashing at the tip of the wand!

The wizard's body began to expand uncontrollably, like a balloon that had been inflated.

At first, the other wizards thought that this man had accidentally been hit by the Swelling Charm, but two or three seconds later, the loud noises, explosions, and splatters of flesh in the sky instantly stopped the two sides who were still fighting.

Without him!

But the power of this spell seemed too bloody, too cruel, too terrifying.

You must know that although there are many spells in this world that can be used to kill, most of them will leave a whole corpse.

There are really not many people like this who directly blow up people and corpses to pieces.

He ...... He killed Staro! ”

A wizard immediately shouted out the name of the deceased after a brief moment of shock.

When another person next to him heard this, he immediately shouted, "Idiot! Shut up! Tell you how many times, use code names, don't use names. ”

"But he killed my best friend!"

The wizard roared like madness, and immediately raised his wand at Zuosi.

Just as he was about to recite the curse, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the junction between his right arm and shoulder, which was holding his wand.

Then the entire right arm detached from the body and fell to the ground with a thud, blood gushing out of the wound.

Almost at the same time, everyone heard a voice in their ears.

"Shadowless!"

This spell, invented by Snape when he was a student, finally made it to the big stage of the wizarding world with the use of Zuo Si.

Seeing that his companion was seriously injured, the people next to him immediately rushed up to treat him, but found that several of his healing spells did not work, and hurriedly cursed in horror: "Damn it! It's black magic! The bleeding simply can't stop! ”

"Lord Soth! Are you trying to make enemies of us all? The man in charge asked sharply.

Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "That's right." In order to prevent the situation from becoming out of control, I must get rid of you all before the German Ministry of Magic arrives, and teach those who want to get their hands on the Philosopher's Stone from me a lesson. I'm in a hurry, so let's go together. ”

"Arrogance! Do you know who is standing behind us? Another female wizard stepped forward.

Just when she wanted to reveal her identity, Zuo Si gently waved the wand in her hand.

Moment!

The woman's head was completely separated from her neck, and she rolled to the ground like ruins.

The plasma gushing out of the major arteries in the neck quickly stained the robes and cloaks of the other people around him black and red.

Zuo Si, who used Shenfeng Shadow to solve an opponent, said in a nonchalant tone like a nobody: "No matter which ancient family is standing behind you, it doesn't make any difference to me. Because no one wants to leave alive today. By the way, I just took a little time to seal off the space around me, so neither the Portkey nor the Apparition can be used. ”

"What?!"

"! Phantom Shifter really doesn't work! We're trapped! ”

"This madman wants to kill us all!"

"Don't panic! He's only one man! Let's go together! ”

"The bounty for catching him is high anyway! It's a big deal, we'll split it evenly then! ”

……

All of a sudden, this group of dark wizards who had been fighting to death before actually chose to abandon their previous suspicions and join forces without hesitation.

Looking at this group of menacing rabble, Zuo Si suddenly appeared with a contemptuous smile, and directly relied on his silent spell casting technique to aim at the nearest guy and cast the Soul Snatching Spell.

Once he had successfully invaded and controlled the guy's mind and will, he quickly gave the order to attack.

"Thunderbolt Explosion!"

The controlled wizard unleashed a powerful spell directly at the densest crowd behind him.

The four dark wizards didn't even realize why the other party would suddenly attack them, and as a result, their bodies were engulfed in huge crimson fireballs on the spot, and they let out a scream of pain and despair.

By the time the huge fireball was over, all of them had turned into black, charred corpses.

The pungent burnt smell woke up a wizard who was almost caught in the witch, and reminded loudly, "Not good! He's under the Imperius Curse! ”

"Quick! Subdue him first! ”

The other wizard hurriedly raised his wand in fright.

Unfortunately, just as the incantation was recited in the mouths of the two of them, the same scene repeated itself.

Only this time, it was the shortest-looking one who was controlled, and he also successfully killed two of his companions with a thunderbolt explosion.

The two of them were quietly controlled and launched a sneak attack, which undoubtedly made this group of guys who were already wary of each other lose the last trace of trust, and they all distanced themselves and planned to fight separately.

As everyone knows, this just happened to fall into Zuo Si's arms.

He didn't even bother to take action himself, but instead cast the Phantom Charm to hide in the shadows and manipulate the puppets controlled by the Imperi Curse, and easily slaughtered this group of people who were not very easy to use.

Although some guys tried to escape at the last moment, before they could run out of the area of the space blockade, they were killed from behind by Zuo Si, who suddenly appeared.

After clearing the last enemy, he was able to scrape together a large number of mutilated corpses and piece together a gruesome statue of the corpse from the ruins.

In particular, the arms at the top are all set up with provocative middle fingers.

You don't need to ask to know that this corpse statue is sending a clear message to those ancient families rooted in the European continent that if you are not afraid of death, you will continue to send people, and you will not show mercy anyway.

It wasn't until Zuo Si left the scene and walked away completely, and the blocked space was finally released, that the people from the German Ministry of Magic rushed to the scene one after another.

When they saw the terrifying corpse statue towering over the ruins, more than half of the witches and a small number of male witches leaned against the wall and began to vomit.

It's not that these people have poor psychological tolerance, but the appearance of the statue is too strange and terrifying.

The base, in particular, is completely made up of flesh and viscera, and the pungent fishy smell can be smelled even from afar.

The upper part of the support structure is made of the spine and leg bones, and the ends are connected to the bloody heads.

Above that are the arms with their middle fingers up.

Not to mention in the generally old-fashioned wizarding world, this thing looks so offbeat and creepy even in the exhibition hall of postmodern abstract art.

"Who...... Can anyone tell what's going on here? ”

The Minister of Magic subconsciously swallowed his saliva and asked the entourage behind him.

The latter immediately showed a wry smile that was uglier than crying: "Don't ask me, I don't know." However, judging from the appearance, someone should have used the corpse of the deceased to shape the statue in front of him. You see, this head is the famous dark wizard who operates around France, Staro, and the one next to him is his friend. OMG! There are also the daughters of the Colin family. Minister, I think we're in big trouble. ”

"Lock off the scene immediately! Send out the men to clean the memories of all the Muggles who saw this scene! We must not let the news leak out! ”

The Minister of Magic was visibly panicked, and wanted to instruct his subordinates to suppress this matter first.

But who would have thought that a reporter with a magic camera would press the shutter before everyone else, take a complete picture of the skeleton statue that towered over the ruins, and then fled.

Early the next morning, countless newspapers and magazines spread the explosive news throughout the wizarding world.

However, since it is impossible to determine whose "masterpiece" this thing is, most of the media tend to believe that a dark wizard did it, and Zuo Si is classified as a victim.

After all, he was still a second-year Hogwarts student, and he would hardly be associated with such evil and cruel behavior.

In particular, the British "Prophet Daily" used a lot of space to criticize the inaction of the ministries of magic in various countries on the European continent, and allowed so many dark wizards to surround their geniuses in groups, and released cruel words saying that if Zuo Si had any accidents, he would definitely do his best to investigate to the end.

You don't need to ask to know that behind this report must be the promotion of Fudge, Umbridge and other Ministry of Magic officials, as well as the major families who have begun to enjoy the benefits of the Philosopher's Stone.

It is estimated that in their eyes, Zuo Si has already become a hen that can lay golden eggs, and he must protect it.

As a result, less than two days after the news fermented, a team of elite Aurors sent by the British Ministry of Magic came to the door and said that they would take responsibility for the safety of Zuosi's trip to Europe to ensure that similar dangerous situations would not happen again.

However, unlike the fierce reaction of the British Ministry of Magic, both the French and German wizarding circles showed a very ambiguous attitude.

Especially those ancient families who participated in this operation, they all knew that the terrible corpse statue was created by Zuo Si to warn him, so they all chose to remain silent.

Through their temptation, they had realized that the young man's strength had far exceeded his expectations, and that it was impossible to take the Philosopher's Stone from his hands by making it.

It's like trying to snatch the first Philosopher's Stone, but gradually discovering that Nicol Lemay's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and finally choosing to give up.

However, the fact that these ancient families with roots in Europe gave up does not mean that the two Voldemorts also gave up.

When he saw the news that the British Ministry of Magic had sent an Auror to protect Zuosi's safety, the adult Voldemort immediately grinned and said, "The time is ripe!" With so many men dispatched, the Ministry of Magic's current defensive strength must be very empty. All we have to do is pull up a team and launch a surprise attack directly on the Ministry of Magic. ”

"But the question is, where do we need to find enough people?" Young Voldemort asked rhetorically, frowning.

"It's easy! Just go straight to Azkaban. There are many of my most loyal men. It doesn't take much, as long as three or five are rescued, plus a basilisk, it is definitely enough to complete this operation. Adult Voldemort gave a straightforward answer.

At this moment, the two of them were standing in the basement of Hogwarts Castle, and the giant basilisk was lying at their feet.

It is estimated that Dumbledore, as the headmaster, would never have dreamed that there would be two Voldemorts on his territory, and they were still planning to rob Azkaban, and then raid the Ministry of Magic to snatch the Philosopher's Stone.

Young Voldemort thought for a moment, then quickly nodded in agreement, "Sounds like a good idea." It will take me a few days to prepare, though. ”

"Hurry up! We must do it before Soth returns to England, or we will miss the opportunity. Adult Voldemort admonished in a serious tone.

"Don't worry! In two days at most, I'll tell you to act together. ”

After saying this, the young Voldemort turned and left the chamber, continuing to use Gilderoy Lockhart's identity as a cover, and began to prepare for the robbery.

On the other side, in the Department of Mysteries of the British Ministry of Magic, Professor Crock, who had just returned to work after a vacation, noticed an anomaly in the Hall of Time.

In particular, the time node that was originally intersected by countless timelines disappeared out of thin air, which immediately made him fall into a strong confusion.

At first, the expert, who specializes in the study of time magic, thought it was his own delusion, and took the instrument and repeatedly tested it in the room.

But in the end, he was shocked.

Not only was the time node gone, but even the time barrier that shrouded the room was crumbling at a breakneck speed.

It won't be long before this place, which took generations to build specifically for the study of the magic of time, will be completely eliminated from the Department of Mysteries.

With such a big news, Professor Crocker naturally didn't dare to hide it, and immediately ran to the office to report to the Minister of Magic, Fudge and Umbridge.

After listening to the report, the latter two immediately exchanged a look.

Umbridge was the first to ask, "Professor, according to you, what will be the consequences of the loss of the time node and the collapse of the time barrier?" Will it be harmful to reality? ”

"Uh...... It shouldn't be harmful. But the problem is that without these two things, the meaning of the Time Chamber would no longer exist, and I would not be able to observe and study the mysteries of time as I please. Professor Crocker explained in an excited tone.

"No harm?"

Fudge's eyes lit up when he heard this.

You must know that just now he was still worried about whether the collapse of the Time Hall would have a negative impact on him.

But now it seems that it is completely unnecessary.

As for not being able to study time magic anymore, does it have anything to do with me?

In fact, even within the Ministry of Magic, there is a great deal of debate about whether or not to continue to delve into the time.

If he could, Fudge would have wanted to put a halt to pointless cutting-edge research, including time magic, and invest all his money in resurrection that was already paying off.

After all, the latter brought a lot of money to the Ministry of Magic in a short period of time.

With this money, he will be able to raise the salaries of all the staff in the Ministry of Magic, give subsidies to wizards who are struggling to make ends meet, give more subsidies to Muggle and orphaned students, and increase his salary by the way.

In short, the British Minister of Magic has deeply experienced the joy of having money to throw coins.

His popularity and prestige are growing rapidly through the Great Scattering of Coins, and those who were originally dissatisfied with him are now turning to the praise of virtue.

It was as if overnight he had no enemies in the British wizarding world, all of them were friends.

No way, the adult world is so naked and realistic.

Professor Crocker obviously didn't know what Fudge was thinking, but replied seriously, "It's not harmful.

With no nodes and enchantments, all time streams will slowly disappear in the coming months.

Your Excellency, I must remind you.

If all of this were to disappear, then our research on time would come to a complete standstill, with the exception of the few existing time converters. ”

"That's great!"

Fudge subconsciously said what he really thought in his heart.

But soon he realized that he had lost his words, and immediately changed his words: "I mean, that would be a pity." But don't worry, Professor, no matter what's going on in the Hall of Time, we'll pay you enough as usual. In fact, during your vacation, all those in charge of research in the field of cutting-edge magic have an additional twenty percent of their salaries. ”

"What? Got a raise? And still twenty percent? A look of surprise crossed Professor Crocker's face.

You must know that the salaries of the staff of the Ministry of Magic have not been increased in many years, and the last time the salary was raised was during the Wizarding Wars, and in order to allow more people to stand up against the Death Eaters, the salary had to be set a little higher.

But after the end of the war, salaries were lowered to normal levels.

"That's right! It's all managed by Secretary Fudge. However, given the panic this may cause, I hope you will keep this news in your stomach and never tell anyone about it. Umbridge took the opportunity to make a request.

As the person who led Zuo Si into the time hall, she had vaguely guessed that the time node and the disappearance of the time enchantment were inextricably linked to the former.

But Umbridge wasn't going to tell anyone, not even his immediate boss, Fudge.

Professor Crocker nodded thoughtlessly, "There is no problem at all on this point. I was originally a silent man, and I was tasked with keeping secrets for the Ministry of Magic. But the investigation into this matter ......"

"I will personally take charge of the investigation of this matter, and it will be carried out in secret." Umbridge immediately made a promise.

But I also know with my ass that she is completely dealing with the other party, and she has no intention of investigating at all, at most she is just pretending, and then the big thing is small and the small thing is small.

Fudge chimed in, "Professor, don't worry. Umbridge is my right-hand man, and she will definitely get to the bottom of it. As for your work, put it aside for the time being, and wait until the situation in the Time Hall stabilizes. ”

In this way, after the two sang and harmonized, Professor Crocker was finally convinced, and soon sealed the entire Time Hall as ordered, forbidding anyone to approach it.

As for the remaining time turners, they were all taken by Umbridge and saved.
