From Karma Taj to Hogwarts

Chapter 220 The strange movement of the Barrow Scimitar

Just after a day of classes, Xiwen came to the Room of Requirement to complete the day's homework.

At the same time, another young wizard Xiwen was reading a tattered notepad in the dungeon room, the same one he got from Sukarno, the demon servant with dark circles.

Ghost Xiwen was floating beside him, gesturing with his hands. Occasionally, lights of different colors appeared in his hands, trying to deduce and analyze the application methods of the spells.

However, Xiwen used a dimensional door to connect the dungeon room and the Room of Requirement. If you change the angle slightly, you can see the two Xiwens in the same frame.

Helena looked at so many Xiwens in front of her and felt quite at a loss.

She secretly looked at each Xiwen at the side and concluded that only Xiwen who was doing his homework was the most absent-minded and could not be disturbed by her, so she passed through the dimensional door and floated into the Room of Requirement.

"I remember that you had a note on the use of the time turner. It said something like 'Don't meet your past self', right? Is it really appropriate for you to commit crimes against the odds..." Helena said helplessly Xiwen, who was doing his homework, asked.

As she spoke, she waved, and the commitment letters and precautions that Xiwen had thrown in the dungeon room floated over through the golden aperture.

Helena took the materials, pointed to a piece of parchment and said to Xiwen: "You shouldn't have read this guideline for using the time turner, right? You don't want to think about what if something really goes wrong. manage?"

"You promised to teach me those Kama Taj spells. I won't allow you to be in danger due to your own negligence and then break your promise to me!"

Xiwen stopped writing, looked up at Helena, and suddenly laughed happily.

"If you're worried, just tell me! What excuse are you looking for?" He laughed.

Helena blushed for a moment, but immediately said harshly: "I'm not worried about you, the little wizard. I'm just worried that your random use of the time turner here will affect your soul!"

Xiwen chuckled, and immediately asked his soul body to stop deducing spells, and floated through the dimensional door into the Room of Requirement.

Helena was confronting the little wizard Xiwen at this time. Unexpectedly, the ghost Xiwen grabbed her waist from behind, which made her immediately blush and completely lose her confidence.

"Thank you for your concern." Ghost Xiwen put his arm around Helena's waist and didn't want to let go, and said in her ear with a smile.

In fact, every time Xiwen traveled through time, because he did not bring his soul body with him, he could not immediately feel the perception and thoughts of his soul body due to the barrier of time-traveling power.

For example, right now, the little wizard Xiven who is doing homework in the Room of Requirement can instantly connect with the ghost Xiven. However, the little wizard Xiven who is reading Sukarno's notepad cannot receive any thoughts of the ghost Xiven.

Therefore, even if the same person in the future and the past stays in the same place, the influence of time travel will always exist.

From this point of view, the five-hour time travel limit is completely reasonable. Otherwise, even if the time traveler does not feel any discomfort, under the subtle influence of the power of time, it will eventually cause a strong backlash to his body.

Thinking of this, Xiwen was no longer arrogant about his understanding of the power of time at Karma Taj. He reached out and took the "Principles for the Use of Time Turner" parchment from Helena's hand, and carefully read the items listed on it. in principle--

"Principles for using Time Turner: 1. Only use it to solve the most trivial time management problems. Never try to use it to solve larger or more important things."

"2. Don't let anyone know, don't let others see."

"3. Time travel should be controlled within 5 hours."

"4,..."

At the bottom of the page, at the end of a full page of entries, there is a motto: "Just as humans cannot understand time, humans cannot understand how much disaster it will bring to mankind if they try to delete the laws of time."

Xiwen fell into thinking after reading it.

This world is actually very contradictory - time energy can be collected, but the need for time travel can only be realized through the time reversal spell in the time turner.

In addition, wizards also realized the dangers of unrestricted time travel due to several experimental accidents, so hundreds of laws were enacted to regulate people's use of time turners.

However, researchers from the Ministry of Magic and the Department of Mysteries were not willing to stop researching time completely, so they allowed time turners to be loaned to good students at Hogwarts with good academic performance so that they could collect time travel information. data and use samples to conduct safer research.

But this situation is inherently dangerous, and not all people who appear to have good morals and academics will strictly abide by the rules. For example, Xiwen himself...

"How about it? After reading the principles of using the time turner, is there anything you want to reflect on?" Helena's voice interrupted Xiwen's thinking.

The little wizard Xiwen just smiled and said nothing. Instead, the ghost Xiwen lowered his head and said almost to the side of Helena's face: "Don't worry, the second usage principle is for those who know nothing about the time system. Prepared by people.”

"When those people see their future selves, they are likely to regard them as dark wizards pretending to be themselves or evil creatures that confuse people's hearts. This leads to the time travel of those injured or even killed by their past selves. Tragedy happened.”

"But I am different. I have understood the power of time a long time ago. I will never mistake my future self or even regard myself as a bad person!"

Seeing Xiwen's face coming closer, Helena rubbed the side of her face against his cheek affectionately, and still asked with some worry: "But in the principle of 'not letting others see', you just have to You explained that you wouldn’t let your past self see it, but you didn’t explain why you could let me know about it?”

"I don't think I violated this. After all, it says not to be seen by other 'people', and you are just a ghost." Ghost Xiwen joked casually.

Helena was about to retort, but suddenly heard a buzzing sound, so she subconsciously turned her head and looked in the direction of the dungeon room.

Xiwen also turned his head in surprise and saw the scimitar leaning against the corner surrounded by layers of golden magic whips. It trembled violently suddenly!

The binding of the magic whip specially made to restrain it even became a little loose, causing it to completely fall to the ground.

"Is this Barrow's knife?" Helena asked.

Xiwen frowned and nodded slightly.

"Did Barrow come out of the solitary room and want to summon this knife back?" He guessed doubtfully.

He had learned from Helena before that this knife was probably made by Salazar Slytherin out of a living snake. It has always been Barrow's master, and even became a snake with him. ghost.

So it probably makes sense to have the function of accepting summons.

Xiwen naturally didn't want this knife to be taken away by that disgusting Barrow again, so he directly summoned a crimson chain of Settorak, completely binding the scimitar tightly.

"How about we go to Sir Nicholas and ask about Barrow's current situation?" Helena looked at Xiwen's movements and said.

"That's fine." Xiwen nodded lightly and opened a dimensional door leading to the ghost conference room.

The ghost conference room had already been transformed by Xiwen into the world inside the mirror space. It had expanded many times, and various sumptuous foods often appeared out of thin air from the plates on the four long tables.

Since this place was transformed from a conference room into a ghost canteen, little fat Grub has changed one of his bad habits and no longer goes to the entrance of the auditorium to block the little wizards who are about to eat.

He now "eats" in the ghost canteen all the time every day, as if he never gets tired of it and never gets enough.

As soon as he arrived at the ghost conference room, Xiven saw Grub feasting on food.

He thought for a long time with his mouth twitching, and finally found a word to describe Grub, and commented on him: "To die for eating, and to treat eating as a ghost of obsession, it is really... very unique..."

Helena nodded in agreement.

She has been a ghost for nearly a thousand years, and Edmund Grubb, a little fat man, was also the first ghost she saw who was obsessed with eating.

Grubb had just finished a plate of ghost dishes, and when he looked up, he saw Xi Wen and Helena watching him.

So he floated over excitedly and said loudly: "Mr. Strange, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Xiwen smiled at him, and then said: "I won't disturb you and continue to enjoy the food. I'm here to find Sir Nicholas, or if the monk is here, that's fine."

"Sir Nicholas has gone to find Sir Delaney Podmore of the Headless Hunters. He is preparing to submit an application to join the team for an unknown number of times," Grubb said. "But the Fat Friar is in the castle. He should be telling stories to the new students in the Hufflepuff common room."

Sivan nodded understandingly and was about to float to the Hufflepuff common room to find the fat monk, but was stopped by Helena.

Helena shook her head at him and said: "No wizards from other houses have ever entered the Hufflepuff common room. It would be inappropriate for us ghosts who do not belong to Hufflepuff to enter."

"In this case, how should we find the monk?" Xiwen asked.

"How about waiting here for a while?" Helena said uncertainly.

"But Barrow's scimitar suddenly appeared in this situation, and I still want to find out the specific reason as soon as possible." Xiwen frowned slightly and said softly.

At this time, Grubb suddenly jumped out and said excitedly: "Mr. Strange, I can help you call the fat monk back!"

"Is it okay?" Xiwen asked.

"Of course it's no problem. I am also the ghost of Hufflepuff after all!" Grubb patted his chest proudly and said to Sivan.

"Then it's up to you, Grub." Xiwen also felt relieved and said with a smile.

"No problem, it's my honor to work for Mr. Strange!" Grubb said excitedly.

After saying this, he immediately floated towards the door of the ghost conference room, which was the portal to the mirror space.

However, halfway to the door, he seemed to remember something again. He quietly turned around and added in a low voice: "It would be nice if there were more types of food in the ghost conference room..."

Xiwen nodded with a smile, and then updated the long table in the ghost conference room with the food he had seen and remembered in the past two years, and set up automatic replenishment spells for them.

The new dishes nearly filled the plates on the four long tables.

……

After a moment, the fat monk followed Grubb and floated into the ghost conference room.

As soon as Grub came in, he found many new delicacies on the long table, so he thanked Xiwen excitedly, and then rushed to the dining table impatiently to continue his great work of eating.

The fat monk smiled helplessly and said to Xiwen: "Grubu is good at everything, but he is too greedy. Especially after you gave the ghost the conditions to eat, it is even more extraordinary. He eats there every day. , I can’t stop at all!”

"After all, when there was no mirror space, he dared to taste the rancid leftovers of reality. Compared with those dishes, there was naturally no problem." Xiwen said with a smile.

"Yes." The fat monk nodded in agreement and then asked. "I heard that you came to me this time to ask me something, Mr. Strange?"

"There are some things I want to consult." Xiwen nodded and said. "I want to know how Bloody Barrow is doing lately?"
