Chapter 4130 4132 [Time Converter]

"No, the Daily Prophet probably won't publish my article, so I plan to just post it on the campus bulletin board. I believe my classmates will like my article." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

He knew that the Ministry of Magic controlled the Daily Prophet and that if he sent the article to them it would definitely be suppressed, so it was useless to threaten them with the Daily Prophet.

But posting it on the school bulletin board was enough to get them in trouble.

After all, there are nearly three hundred students in Hogwarts, plus their parents, relatives and friends, the number is enough to exceed a thousand.

The population of the British wizarding community is only a few thousand people, so just posting it on the school bulletin board can cause quite a stir.

The wizarding world is currently in a state of panic over the giant incident. If this is linked to Voldemort and the Death Eaters, those wizards will be furious.

By then, the Ministry of Magic would be unable to withstand the overwhelming public opinion, and the Minister and Deputy Minister would be forced to resign.

When Creed heard Xiang Nan say this, his smile froze on his face, and then he said with a smile, "I think it's better not to write this kind of article at this time. When everyone is in a panic, writing such an article will make the people even more panicked."

"What you said makes sense. I was also hesitating whether to write this article." Xiang Nan nodded. "By the way, Mr. Hemsworth, you said last time that you would apply for a reward from the ministry. How is the progress now?"

Creed was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm applying, I'm applying."

"Oh, then you can take your time to apply." Xiang Nan nodded, "The Christmas holiday is still ten days away, so I have time to write the article."

"Yes, I want to ask you too, what kind of reward do you want?" Creed asked quietly.

"I don't care about money. Since you have taken my reputation, I want some small benefits." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I like to study, but I always feel that I don't have enough time. I know there is a little thing called a time converter. Minister, can you help me apply for one?"

The Time Converter is a magical item that allows people to travel back in time, usually just a few hours.

But in 1899, during a time experiment at the Ministry of Magic, the witch Eloise Mintab used a time converter to travel back to the year 1402 and stayed there for five days.

As a result, when she traveled back in time, the pressure of nearly five centuries of time on her body caused her body to quickly collapse, and she eventually died in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Sorrow.

Her time travel also led to very serious consequences. Her travels changed the life trajectories of all the people she met in the past, and at least 25 of their descendants disappeared and became "never born".

And time was also disrupted. After she returned to the present day, Tuesday lasted for two and a half days, while Thursday lasted only four hours.

This strange phenomenon lasted for nearly a week before it ended, so the Ministry of Magic later banned time experiments, and time converters were also strictly controlled and could not be borrowed at will.

However, in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", because Hermione had excellent grades, Professor McGonagall specially helped her apply for a time turner so that she could take all elective courses.

In addition, according to the original book, Percy Weasley and Barty Crouch Jr. both obtained twelve distinctions in the OWLS exams, so it is very likely that they both applied for a time turner.

Xiang Nan applied for a time converter in the hope of having more time to use.

After all, he hadn't slept for a long time now, and had spent 24 hours reading, studying, making medicine and practicing magic, but even so it was still not enough.

If he had a time-turner, he would have a lot more time. …

"How do you know about the time converter?" Creed was stunned and asked in surprise.

The time converter is a secret of the wizarding world and is the product of the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries' research into time magic. It is based on the hour reversal spell.

However, the reversal spell is too dangerous and difficult to control. After research by the Department of Mysteries, the spell was finally sealed in a magic item so that it can exert a stable effect. However, only a very few people know about the existence of this item.

"I know this from a book," Xiang Nan explained. "The birth of this magic item is recorded in 'Important Magical Events of the Nineteenth Century'."

"You..." Creed was still a little hesitant.

"Mr. Minister, I applied for this magic item just to have more time to study." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I think you will not refuse my small request. After all, defeating three giants is enough to be on the Chocolate Frog card, or to get an Order of Merlin."

If Creed hadn't taken away his credit, he would definitely have become a famous figure in the wizarding world by defeating the three giants.

Creed hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Okay, but you have to promise not to abuse the time converter and only use it for learning."

"Don't worry, Minister, I will never do anything rash." Xiang Nan assured.

Although the time converter is relatively stable, there is still a certain probability of failure. He also doesn't want to go back hundreds of years, because if he does, his body won't be able to bear it when he travels back. After all, although he is long-lived, he doesn't live hundreds of years.

"It's better this way. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I will step down, but you will definitely go to Azkaban." Creed threatened.

……

The day before the Christmas holiday, Xiang Nan received the time converter that Creed applied for him.

It was an hourglass-shaped timer. When you needed to reverse time, you just turned the hourglass. Turning it over once would mean going back one hour, and twice would mean going back two hours.

The longest time can be retreated is five hours. If it is longer, it will be very dangerous and may cause trouble at any time. However, this is enough for Xiang Nan.

For every five hours he spent, he could go back five hours, so one day could be like two days, or even several days. Of course, he was overdrawing his lifespan, because every extra hour he spent would be counted towards his lifespan.

That is to say, when others were still of normal age, Xiang Nan might have been fifteen, sixteen or even seventeen years old.

But this is not a problem for him.

On the one hand, as a martial arts master, his life span is very long. In "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", his life span is close to 200 years.

On the one hand, wizards generally have a longer lifespan. Unless they are infected with diseases such as dragon pox, dragon plague syphilis, or are killed by others, wizards have a very long lifespan.

Not to mention Nicolas Flamel who lived for over 600 years thanks to the Philosopher's Stone, Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Griselda Marchbank (OWLS exam invigilator, who once invigilated Dumbledore's exams), and Armando Dippet (former Hogwarts headmaster, born in 1637, died in 1970, lived to be 333 years old), are all over 100 years old, and their ears are not deaf, their eyes are not blurry, and their minds are not confused...

Taking all factors into consideration, it should not be a problem for Xiang Nan to live to be 200 years old, so even if he overdraws his life span by a few years, it is not a big deal.
