"Pocket watch, bring it!"

Zheng Qing was stunned for a second, and immediately reacted. The gentleman was asking about the twelfth birthday present that had been given to him a long time ago, with a silver case and brass hands, ticking when he walked.

This watch has been used for six years, and it has always been as accurate as ever, not missing a minute, and because of proper care, there is not the slightest trace of rust on the case, and it always looks like a new watch.

But it's just like a new watch — this pocket watch doesn't find the slightest difference from the others other than the precision of the timekeeping and the new case — it can't even grow an anthropomorphic face on the dial like most other wizards' timepieces, reporting the time to its owner and reminding it of the itinerary whenever and wherever it is, like Dylan's pocket watch.

Even if the watch has a bad temper, it's worse than Dylan's dressing glass.

In fact, Zheng Qing has tested the bottom line of this pocket watch more than once, especially after he got the admission letter of the first university, for some unexplained reasons, he has used detection magic on this watch many times.

The results were mixed.

Happily, this watch does have other unusual features besides the precision of the timekeeping and the novelty of the case.

For example, Zheng Qing discovered another characteristic of it, that is, it is immune to detection magic. Whether it's the low-level manifestation spell 'Aparecium' or the high-level probing spell 'Jin Qi Ming', it can't splash a little bit on this pocket watch. If it weren't for the fact that this watch was very meaningful, Zheng Qingdu would like to experiment with the Karmic Fire Spell and the Great Cracking Technique on it, or throw it into the aqua regia to soak it.

But what was frustrating was that through various detection methods—including asking Lin Guo to use a professional alchemy tool to detect it—Zheng Qing didn't find any more traces of magic from this pocket watch other than being immune to detection magic.

In other words, this watch can basically be regarded as an ordinary timer.

Therefore, when Mr. asked about this watch, Zheng Qing's first reaction was that Mr. was asking about the time.

"It's 5:48:36 p.m., 37 seconds. Zheng Qing skillfully took out the pocket watch from the gray cloth bag, and pressed the case open with a 'click', accurately reporting the current moment.

"Need you to tell me this?" Mr. Wu glanced at the young scholar and reached for the pocket watch. Then he curled a withered finger and pointed it directly at the transparent glass surface.

Zheng Qing's eyes involuntarily widened.

The gentleman's finger seemed to pass through a layer of phantom, and it was not hindered by the glass in the slightest - Zheng Qing could hold Lin Guo's box of alchemy tools and swear, they had tested the glass surface of the pocket watch more than once, whether it was chemical testing, magic testing, or alchemy testing, it clearly proved that the glass was indeed silica, but compared to the glass on the classroom window, the layer of silica on the pocket watch was purer.

Zheng Qing blinked vigorously.

I saw that after Mr. Wu's fingers reached in, he pressed on the slender minute hand, and then pushed the minute hand back with a little force. One, two, five, ten.

With each dial, the watch makes a loud click.

And with the reversal of the minute hand, the scene around the two of them slowly reappeared like a 'rewind' - the black hole reappeared, the six fingers 'grew' out of it, the yellow civet and the six fingers confronted, Su Da Mei swallowed a mouthful of blood back into her stomach and then hit one finger back, her three fox tails reappeared, the bull head forced the horns into the head, the teaching assistants and the mutant tree people beat each other, Su Shijun floated towards the full moon in mid-air, and finally disappeared into the temporary passage that had just emerged on the edge of the full moon.

The backtracking came to an abrupt end here.

"Well, it should be fine. The gentleman nodded: "The loss is under control, and those who should have learned a long lesson have also learned a little longer......

Zheng Qing lowered his head and glanced at the dial, and the minute hand on the dial was reversed by almost twenty stops, that is, twenty minutes.

The pocket watch sounded breathless, its second hand oscillating back and forth from grid to lattice, as if adjusting to the new time. The surrounding scene flickered and trembled as the second hand swayed back and forth, like a damp videotape, and the picture appeared to be stuttering.

After a brief pause, the second hand began to spin again.

And the surrounding scene has returned to normal.

In mid-air, next to the full moon, the temporary passage was reopened—if nothing else, the red figure would emerge from the makeshift passage in a matter of seconds.

"Good. Mr. Wu nodded with satisfaction and closed the lid of the pocket watch with a click. Then he stuffed the watch back into Zheng Qing's arms.

The surrounding scene froze again with this 'click' sound.

"Time...... A little backtracking would do the trick. Mr. Wu looked down at his disciple and habitually said, "Just like I told you before, time is one of the most powerful forces in this world. The stronger you are, the more stubborn you are...... And the action of force is reciprocal. So, if you don't want to be beaten to smithereens by the more powerful forces of time, don't fiddle with your dial...... Ahh

The gentleman sneezed heavily.

He took out a handkerchief from his pocket, blew his nose, and shook his head: "Old, old...... In the past, even if I turned the hour hand back ten or eight times, I would not sneeze. ”

Zheng Qing stood beside Mr. and looked at the familiar scene of the bull head pulling up the tree again not far away, and was speechless.

It would be nice to be able to use the power of this pocket watch during the exam!

I don't know if it's because the danger is eliminated and the bottom of his heart is relaxed, Zheng Qing suddenly has such a thought in his mind.

If he can also use the power of this pocket watch, then he will read the paper several times during the exam, write down the more difficult test points, and then turn the hour hand back one or several squares - even if the hour hand does not move, it is enough to turn the minute hand back one or two times - so that he can 'sharpen the gun' before the test.

The gun sharpened in this way will definitely dazzle everyone's eyes.

Thinking of this, Zheng Qing's eyes narrowed when he couldn't help laughing, and the strength of holding the pocket watch in his hand couldn't help but increase a little.

Xu was aware of the young wizard's thoughts.

Mr. Wu raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head, and said, "With your little magic power, you can't even move the second hand...... With that bit of effort, it is better to honestly brush two sets of "Five Three" to be down-to-earth. ”

"When you're out of school, when are you going to think about using that watch for anything other than a chronograph? ”

Zheng Qing couldn't help rubbing his eyes and laughing when Mr. broke the thought in his heart.

After being slapped by Mr. just now, my eyes seem to have accidentally attracted the wind, and I feel a little astringent.
