From Karma Taj to Hogwarts

Chapter 191 Time Converter

In Flamel's workshop, Xiwen and Flamel were concentrating on an oval object covered with runes.

"This alchemy product looks very historical." Flamel murmured while holding a magnifying glass and carefully examining the runes engraved on it. "I can confirm that the person who made it was a great master alchemist, and the alchemical system of this product is unlike anything I've ever seen."

"Strange, I should have heard of such a person." Flamel asked in confusion. "Xiwen, how did you discover it?"

"When I saw it, it appeared as a Christmas gift under the Christmas tree outside my room, and its packaging was a tattered cloth bag." Sivan explained. "I couldn't figure out whether it was dangerous, so I brought it here so you could take a look at it for me."

"It's not that dangerous. It can be seen that the runes on this item are all aboveboard." Flamel shook his head slightly and said to Xiwen. "It can be seen from the runes engraved on it that this is a container that can be used to store other energies. In addition, it should also have many powerful magical functions."

"But using it requires specific spells and gestures. I don't have the ability to decipher the use of these keys. If this is indeed a Christmas gift for you, maybe there will be some clues left in the package for you. Do you think about something like that carefully?"

Of course, there were no clues left in the simple package. The real clue came from the memory of Kama Taj.

Xiven took the Eye of Agamotto from Flamel, thought about it carefully, and wore it on his chest.

Then, he formed a seal with his hands in front of the Eye of Agamotto, and silently recited the spell he had seen in Kama Taj's library.

As the seals of Xiwen's hands slowly opened in front of him, the four arcs in front of the structure separated, revealing a strange eye in the perfect circular structure - its eyeball was very hollow and exuded a strong aura. Turquoise light.

"This is... the power of time?!" Flamel felt the power sealed in the Eye of Agamotto, and his eyes widened suddenly, and he said in surprise. "Isn't this power only controlled by the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic in the United States?"

"Do you know much about the Department of Mysteries?" Xiwen became interested and asked curiously. At the same time, he also silently lifted the spell and sealed the power of time back.

"I understand a little bit." Flamel nodded and explained to Xiwen. "The Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China once invited me to help research some things, including a magical alchemy item called a time turner. I learned a lot about time from there."

"In the Time Hall of the Department of Mysteries, there is a cabinet containing many time turners."

"Time turner?" Xiwen was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully. "What's its use? It can't really change time..."

"It's not as exaggerated as the conversion time, but it can take a person back to the past." LeMay said softly.

"Does being able to go back to the past mean that we can change the history of the past, or even change the direction of the future?" Xiwen thought for a while and asked with a frown. "The functions of time turners are so powerful, how come there are so many of them in one cabinet?"

Xiwen felt it was unreasonable.

He fully understood the power of the Time Stone in the previous world. The power of time can simply bring people back to life and change the order of things! If the time turners in this world could be mass-produced, the chances of them falling into the hands of dark wizards with ulterior motives would be even higher. Wouldn't that throw the whole world into chaos?

"Actually, the time turner is not as unsolvable as you think." Flamel looked at Xiwen deeply and explained to him. "Time transformation also has its corresponding rules. A person can go back to the past, but he cannot change the course of history."

"Even if someone uses a time turner to travel in time, the history he changes is only the established history that has already happened. Everything this person achieves forms a closed loop, and our world is the final one that has been changed. ending."

"In other words, does this world only have one timeline?" Xiwen asked with a frown.

"That's understandable." Flamel smiled and nodded.

"I still don't quite understand." Xiwen shook his head and then asked.

"Since you can change the past, let's make a hypothesis: If a person gets a time turner and goes back in time to kill his young grandfather, if the grandfather died, his father would not be born, and without a father, there would be no time. Converter, so who killed grandpa?”

Xiwen asked about the widely circulated grandfather paradox that he heard in the previous world.

In the same timeline, this paradox is impossible to achieve. It was not until the emergence of the theory of parallel universes that everything that happened in this paradox had a slight possibility of realization.

But according to Flamel's explanation, there is such a thing as a time turner in this world, but there is only one timeline. This doesn't seem very reasonable.

"A very profound question." Le May nodded thoughtfully and said to Xiwen. "Actually, similar things like what you mentioned have indeed happened before."

"There was a mute in the Department of Mysteries at the end of the last century. She used a time turner to return to the past during the experiment, but she died because she stayed in the past for too long. During the experiment of returning to the past, Héloïse was trapped Up to five days in 1402."

"Her travels have changed the life trajectories of all the people she met in the past. At least 25 descendants have disappeared from modern times and become existences that were never born!" LeMay said in a deep voice. "That's why the Ministry of Magic has created hundreds of laws regarding the use of time-turners."

"But doesn't this conflict with the time conversion rules you mentioned before?" Xiwen frowned deeply and asked inexplicably.

"You are right, these two points do create a big conflict." Le May sighed and said to Xiwen. "So this involves the self-healing ability of the time conversion rules."

"If the behavior that occurs during the time transition does not have a great impact, then the rules of time can repair it and bring the world line back to the final ending that has been changed, making the logic of the time transition self-consistent."

"However, if a person causes too much impact in the process of time travel, then part of the time rules will completely collapse, unable to pull time back to the main line, resulting in disastrous consequences!"
