Chapter 196
Chapter 194 Returning Tributary
“The limit of the retrospective time is strictly stipulated within five hours. That is to say, there will be unpredictable risks after exceeding, and it is very likely that you will be lost in the long river of time directly, and you will not be able to return to the original timeline… …”
Ulysses put away the time converter, and his thoughts quickly faded. “But what if you drop an anchor while using the time converter?”
On a whim, his eyes gradually brightened, but after a while he shook his head, “No, no, let’s not talk about the method to break the anchor. For so many years, someone must have tried it. Five hours should be the senior wizards. The best time from the test…”
Ulysses temporarily pressed the idea of digging into the time converter. After all, this was a real risk with his life, and it was an adventure in time that he had never set foot in, which made him dare not act rashly.
Ulysses walked out of the empty classroom. It was only six o’clock in the morning. The castle was very quiet, and most of the students were still sleeping in the dormitory.
“Today I took a transformation class… and then went to the responsive room… and then seemed to go back to the dormitory… and then it was here.”
Ulysses recalled his morning journey, the next thing to do is to avoid these lines and wait for the time to pass to the normal timeline.
If there is any unusual movement in the middle, Ulysses believes that with his own acumen, he can definitely spot it. Since there is no such paragraph in own memory, it shows that the hidden work is still done well.
Ulysses thought for a while, and simply walked directly into another empty classroom not far away. The location here is even more remote. The interior is dark and gloomy, with almost no light coming in. The tables and chairs look dilapidated and obviously have been abandoned for a long time.
Ulysses took out the magic book brought from Black’s old house and put it on the table. Part of it is a magic book about the soul. This concept has not made any breakthrough in the magic world so far, so the content in the book only explains the existence of the soul and some small spells.
As for Sirius Black’s hope, the way to crack Voldemort’s scar on Harry’s forehead was naturally not mentioned at all.
According to Ulysses’s guess, the lightning scar was not only at the hands of Voldemort’s magic, but also with Harry’s mother Lily. She protected Harry with the so-called “love” magic, and perhaps had some wonderful reactions with Voldemort’s magic, which made the scar a bridge between Harry and Voldemort’s mind.
Ulysses took another part of the books, these are several second-level magic patterns collected by the Black family. Sirius Black knew that they were very valuable, but he hadn’t dabbled in the path of Mageweave, and he was a little eager to help Harry, so he didn’t say much when Ulysses took these books.
Ulysses shook his head slightly, stopped thinking about the extra time, and began to use the extra five hours.
After returning from the test site of Rowena Ravenclaw, his magic reserve had a qualitative leap. Not to mention the five second-level magic patterns, the magic and ancient books recorded in the large library almost burst his mind.
Ulysses knew that he couldn’t master all the magic in a short time, or even could not do it in his entire life, so he could only rely on his super memory to engrave all the magic there in his mind.
But after all, they have not yet transformed into their own strength, so he must race against time, it is difficult to have extra leisure time. At this time, the emergence of the time converter can be said to be a help in the snow.
Ulysses even suspected that Dumbledore had arranged a time converter for himself after knowing where he was going.
Time passed bit by bit, and after a few hours, Ulysses put down the quill and exhaled, a complicated pattern appeared on the parchment on the table.
“The effect of the second-level magic pattern ‘crack’ is related to space. It can split things in front of the magic pattern, sharp as a knife…”
Ulysses murmured, thinking carefully about how this magic pattern was constructed from several first-level magic patterns, his ears suddenly moved slightly, and he keenly caught a sound outside the classroom.
Ulysses frowned slightly, and then quickly remembered that it should be Hermione who had been wronged ran to the empty classroom to vent.
“I don’t know if she came from the deity or through the time converter?”
Ulysses suddenly had this thought in his mind. He recalled that Hermione had some embarrassment and unnaturalness on her face when she saw him. At the time he thought it was a normal reaction to a girl who was discovered when she was crying. Now think about this guess. It is also possible.
Ulysses waited patiently for a while, and after seeing Hermione hurriedly leaving in the classroom, he walked to the classroom where she was before.
However, the moment he was about to step into the door, his face suddenly became weird, and he suddenly realized a problem.
Before the utility of the time converter ends, he must return to the original place. So in the same space at the same time, there are bound to be two of them, and they all know each other.
Ulysses inside fiddled with the hourglass in his hand, and when he heard the sound, he turned his head and glanced at the door, which happened to be in line with Ulysses’s gaze.
“So when the tributary returns, it’s impossible to leave no traces, right?”
Ulysses in the past thought a little, and said with a smile.
Ulysses squinted his eyes, walked into the empty classroom, and glanced at his pocket watch. The time on it was 3:39 in the afternoon.
“You need to adjust your pocket watch once with a time converter…it’s kind of troublesome.”
Ulysses smiled, “There is one minute left, we can talk.”
“What I am more concerned about is… Since you are back, it must be me who disappeared. In this way, I will be crushed by the torrent of time without doing anything, and there will be five more hours without any damage. I feel a bit unwilling to think about it.”
Ulysses from the past sighed.
Ulysses naturally knows his own idea. He is indeed a little unacceptable to this kind of thing, or that he is unacceptable to anything that may cause him to disappear, even if the object of benefit is himself who has come out of the closed loop of time.
“I know me well. You must have mastered some new things in these five hours. It may be a certain second-level magic pattern, or a certain magic in the big library.”
Ulysses used to look calm, and after seeing the opposite self nodded, he suddenly laughed, and said in a strange tone:
“So… every time you use the time converter, it’s equivalent to… suicide in a way?”
Ulysses thoughtfully did not answer. The second hand on the pocket watch had already turned a full circle, and the identical self in front of him disappeared in an instant.
