Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 251 Changes
Time is the most mysterious force in the magic world.In history, there used to be many magical items with the power of time, such as the Sands of Time, a treasure that Persia obtained by accident after defeating a city. Coincidentally, the legendary Sands of Time was finally scattered under the feet of Ike today. of this land.

So, the reason for the formation of this stagnant place is related to the Sands of Time?

Ike didn't get to the bottom of it, it didn't make much sense.With all the Time-Turners in the British Ministry of Magic collection with him, he has very little interest in the Sands of Time.

He sat on the ground, closed his eyes, held his wand up in front of him, and quietly felt the changes in the magic power in his body.After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes with a relaxed look on his face.

The magic power is still flowing, and although the consumption is small, it still exists, which proves that time is still working here. The so-called stagnation is just an illusion caused by too slow flow.

This is much easier. Stagnation and slowness are two concepts, and the degree of danger is not the same.

Ike stood up, turned around a little on this floor, and then stepped on the upward stone ladder.

As soon as he stepped on it, the surrounding environment changed instantly.Those decorations that were the same as those thousands of years ago disappeared, and even the walls disappeared. What you can see in the front, back, left, and right is only grotesque colors, twisting and changing, without any rules.

The stone ladder is alone in it. Looking up, you can only see circles of circling stones. The more you go up, the more dilapidated the stone ladder will be.Ike walked up slowly, wand in hand, heightened vigilance.

This scene is fundamentally different from what Lao Fu said.

When Lao Fu boarded the Tower of Babel, he easily reached the top floor and saw the magnificent garden and the magical tree of life.Looking at Ike again, it is a place where time is stagnant and this scene that makes people completely clueless. It can't be that this tower has become a spirit, right?
Ike, who has lived in this world for more than ten years, knows very well that it is definitely not wrong to blame magic when things are in doubt.What's more, Lao Fu and Dumbledore both said that magic is the most amazing thing in this world!
He walked up slowly, climbing silently, but the stone ladder seemed to have no end, no matter how long he walked, there was still no end in sight.

Go on, go on, gradually, there is only one thought left in Ike's mind, and it is this thought that drives him to keep moving forward.His consciousness is still awake, but his mind can no longer control his body.

The brain keeps telling you to stop, but the body has a mind of its own.

Except for thinking and magic, nothing else can be controlled.

The mechanical walking and climbing made Ike lose the concept of time. He didn't know how long and how far he had walked on this stone ladder. What made people desperate was that the environment hadn't changed in the slightest.

The wand was put away at some point, the clothes on his body became worn out, his hair grew so long that it was dragged to the ground, and there were many white hairs on it.

His body gradually weakened, more wrinkles appeared, and many small spots appeared on his skin.Muscle and fat were gone, too, leaving only a wrinkled skin clinging to the bone.Like a scary skeleton, but still walking, accompanied by the sound of creaking.

At some point, Ike's soul fell into a deep sleep, as if in a dream, lying on his back on the soft clouds.There is a gentle breeze blowing, slowly pushing the clouds, leisurely, very relaxed.

In a trance, there seemed to be soft sunlight falling on the face, warm and a little itchy with the prestige.He scratched subconsciously, but couldn't use any strength at all.

Ike was a little annoyed, annoyed that his hands were disobedient.So he tried harder, but his hand still didn't move, and it was the same with another one.

The sun on his face also became hot, and that itchy feeling made him even more irritable.Faintly, he felt something was wrong, this feeling was very much like a ghost pressing a bed.

Hmm...the ghost presses the bed?

As if instinctively, Ike's leg twitched suddenly, and then the cloud under him suddenly tilted to one side, and he was thrown directly from above.A strong sense of weightlessness struck, and a solid ground seemed to appear in front of my eyes.

The falling speed is getting faster and faster, and the distance from the ground is getting closer and closer.Ike panicked even more, and suddenly he remembered a rumor in his mind: Let yourself roll when you fall from a high altitude, maybe you can save your life...

He tried hard to move his body, but they still didn't respond.So I worked harder, harder... Finally, my fingers moved, then my arms, and then my whole body.And during this process, a powerful force appeared in his body, which dispelled the cold and fear for him, and even stopped his falling body.

"What is this?" Doubts arose in Ike's heart. In the dark, he felt that he was familiar with this power, but he just forgot its name...

"what exactly is it?"

"what exactly is it!"

Ike became more irritable, he knew very well that the name of this power was very important, as important as life.

What seemed to be an instant, the skeleton who was still walking on the stone ladder stopped.Then gradually, the long snow-white hair that dragged behind her became shorter and blacker.The wrinkles and spots on the body also disappeared, the skin pouch became full, and the flesh and blood reappeared under the pouch.

The wand quietly fell into the hand, and the tip of the wand shone with a soft white light.There was a flash of golden light again, intertwined with white light to form a thread, entangled and turned into a cocoon, caged Ike inside.

Light, darkness, light, darkness, like breathing, the white and gold cocoons flickered rhythmically.

Sudden!The cocoon burst into light, and then suddenly disappeared, turning into a little bit of starlight.Ike stood with his eyes closed, breathing steadily and long, and everything in his body returned to when he first stepped into the tower.

The next second, the eyes opened, the wand was raised high, and it slammed to the ground!

Golden ripples spread out, and the bizarre scenes around were like a broken mirror, with cracks like spider webs appearing out of thin air.

"Crack, click, click..."

There seemed to be the sound of glass breaking in my ears, and the originally invisible stone stairs above my head disappeared, leaving only seven short steps ahead.

Ahead, there is a dazzling but soft white light.

One step, two steps, three steps, with each step, the white light becomes weaker, and a warmth falls on the body, like sunlight under the shade of dense trees in summer.

Very comfortable.

Four steps, five steps, six steps, Ike took the last step firmly, the magic power surged all over his body, and the white light in front of him was blown away.

Then, it suddenly became clear!
It's like stepping on the void, with the dilapidated Tower of Babel under your feet, and the soft sunshine above your head.The surroundings are full of flowers and plants, and the air is filled with intoxicating aromas, which makes people's spirits relax unconsciously.

Right in front, there is a small fruit tree in the center, bare, with only two leaves still hanging on the branches tenaciously, and a cherry-sized red fruit is hanging under the leaves.

Full, with a shimmer like water ripples.

Somehow, Ike knew the name of the fruit, which was also the purpose of his trip:

Fruit of life!
