From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 357 Box
"So... you are a Planeswalker who can travel through time and space?" Ivy asked after a moment's silence, "Your presence here is a complete coincidence?"

"Yes... I have considered this place as the landing point for teleportation for a long time..." Kemina sat in a comfortable velvet chair, savoring the tea and snacks made by cook Bobby, "I thought no one would come to this place... God knows the college will give you this basement as a laboratory."

"I hold a completely opposite opinion on this." Ivy picked up the teacup and watched the steam rise. "I don't think this is a coincidence, but the academy did it on purpose."

"How is that possible?" Kemina retorted subconsciously.

"Since the five founding dragons established Strixhaven, this magic university has existed for thousands of years. As a university that recruits students from the multiverse, how many Planeswalkers do you think have studied here in these thousand years? And how many of them are as cautious as you?" Ivy began his reasoning and discussion.

"We don't need too many people like this. One or two are enough to attract Strixhaven's attention. I'm afraid the school has already discovered your identity as a Planeswalker, but has kept it silent." Ivy blew away the white mist on the teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat. "Now the school not only has you, a Planeswalker who can travel through time and space, but also me, a wizard from another world who is keen on various planes and cosmic knowledge. I'm afraid that letting you meet me when you travel through time and space was Strixhaven's original plan."

"Are you keen on traveling through time and space..." asked Kemina.

"During the first week after arriving at Strixhaven, I stayed in Maodian Pavilion to borrow books related to these topics." Ivy nodded. "I'm afraid it's because the school has my borrowing list that they arranged this inappropriate meeting."

Ivy had another half sentence left unsaid. After obtaining the underground laboratory, he went to see Ogeta again before she left the school, hoping that Strijhaven could provide some equipment or something for him to use.

As a result, Ogeta responded: "Strijhaven will not provide you with any compensation other than knowledge, including money and equipment. In other words, you can go to any library and classroom in the school according to your needs and consult any professor."

Now Ivy was very suspicious that it was because Ogeta discovered that he was very interested in plane travel and multiverse travel in Maodian Pavilion that she sent the living time traveler Kemina to him. She also thoughtfully let Kemina "actively" enter Ivy's laboratory.

After all, as a member of the Strixhaven faculty, it seemed inappropriate for Kemina to refuse Ivy's advice.

"When you went back home for the summer vacation, something happened in Strijhaven." Ivy explained the origin of this laboratory to Kemina, "An evil wizard named Mogasso planned to use the vitality of all the teachers and students in the school to complete his immortality ritual. Although Ogeta and I discovered his conspiracy due to the interference of several students, he said that the arrangement of the immortality ritual has been completed. He only needs to wait for the spell to succeed so that he can take revenge on Strijhaven."

"What?" Kemina was shocked. This was the first time she encountered a villain who wanted to destroy the world. "Why are we still sitting here chatting? We must stop his conspiracy once and for all!"

"Ogota said she would let me know after school starts. She asked me to guide a group of students to solve this incident and cultivate their independence and initiative." Ivy motioned for Kemina to return to her seat. "As part of her reward, she also gave me this laboratory to use and allowed me to go to any library in Strixhaven and consult any professor. As a member of the faculty, I guess she also included you."

Kemina was stunned for a while, then sat down and rubbed her temples: "The Dean of Order always arranges everything clearly and ignores other people's opinions... In other words, Mogasso's magic is not as strong as he imagined? Even if it really succeeded, it is impossible to take away the vitality of everyone in Strixhaven?"

"I guess so." Ivy said, "Under the protection of the Strijhaven Magic Vortex, similar necromancy magic will be greatly reduced. Besides, this Mogaso has not been able to go deep into the Maodian Pavilion, so how can he use this kind of magic to affect the entire school? Either he was deceived by others, or he is a lunatic who can't distinguish between reality and delusion. In either case, it means that he is a small character that is easy to deal with. However, Ogeta still intends to use him and Olikozhong to train some of her promising students."

"Really?" Kemina sighed. "Since the school already knows my identity as a Planeswalker, maybe I should go find someone to consult. Maybe there are some notes and experiences left by seniors here..."

"Compared to those, I'd rather you talk about time travel first." Ivy asked, "I once took the initiative to travel through time, but the landing point was far from my intended destination, and it wasn't even in the same world. What happened?"

Kemina looked at Ivy and hesitated before answering: "I don't know what kind of magic you used to travel through time and space, so I can only introduce you to some experiences of Planeswalkers."

"For any Planeswalker, what guides us to travel through time and space is always the spark from the depths of the soul, and the Planeswalker spark actually reflects the nature of the Dark Void to some extent."

"Dark void?" Ivy had never seen this term in the books about plane travel in Maodian Pavilion. Those authors usually preferred to use "crystal wall system, astral realm, and desolate universe" to describe the boundless space between different time and space and material planes.

"This brings us to the origin of Aquavivo," Kemina continued, "This time and space was born from the collision of two universes, so the magic here always appears in the form of two opposite sides coexisting with each other. The Dark Void I just mentioned is a multiverse that contains many time and space, and as far as I know, all Planeswalkers were born in this multiverse. It is very different from the multiverse you are familiar with. These worlds, including the Realm Universe, Klein Universe, and Eberron Universe, are actually in another multiverse. And Aquavivo was born at the collision point of the multiverse and the multiverse."

"In the multiverse, time travel is a very difficult thing. I have never heard of anyone other than Planeswalkers being able to do it. And for Planeswalkers to enter other worlds in the multiverse, they must rely on the resonance of sparks and past experience, or they must follow the etheric track left by another Planeswalker. I followed the etheric track of another Planeswalker to enter this time and space."

The multiverse that Kemina came from is actually not the same as the DND multiverse that Ivy is familiar with. This is the first time Ivy has heard of such a statement.

In other words, the wizarding world where Ivy came from and the world of Arda that he once visited are most likely not within the DND multiverse.

This is simply a replica of the box theory, because worlds like Kingdom Sky and Eberron Sky are in the same big box, so using DND origin spells can pass through these worlds. However, Ivy, who comes from the world outside the box, cannot use spells such as teleportation to accurately locate the continent of Faerun where he wants to go.

Fortunately, Akevivo, where he is now, is on the border of the two boxes, which means that when he is here, the spell that can move across the world can be accurately located.

However, Ivy was able to connect the Planeswalkers and the Multiverse that Kemina had mentioned before with the collectible card game Magic: The Gathering that he had seen before becoming a wizard.

He also vaguely knew that Strixhaven was an expansion set that existed in both DnD and Magic: The Gathering, which would explain many of the wonders of Aquavivo.

But the biggest problem is that Ivy actually doesn't know any background stories about Magic: The Gathering, and can't even name any of the characters in it. This means that Ivy's foresight as a time traveler is greatly limited. If he wants to move in the multiverse belonging to the Planeswalkers, he must always be cautious.

"I roughly understand what's going on." Ivy nodded twice. "Then, can you let me see your spark as a Planeswalker?"

"Then you have to answer my question first." Kemina stared at Ivy's face. "What's going on with those embryos in the glass jars? Did you create them all with necromancy? To create spare bodies for animals?"

"That's right." Ivy smiled slightly, "Because they are all my partners."

In fact, after Ivy upgraded the level of [Scribe Mage/Ancient Warrior] to level 15, he chose cloning as his new spell. Cloning is a spell that uses necromancy to create a copy of a target as a measure against death. The clone needs 120 days to mature. Before the clone matures and is used, it needs to be kept in a sealed container.

That's why Ivy's clone looks like an eight or nine-year-old boy. After all, less than 60 days have passed since the establishment of this underground laboratory. It will take at least two months for the clone to grow to the age of 18.

The placement of culture vessels in the underground laboratory at Strixhaven was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but the result of careful consideration.

Ivy believes that the possibility of his death is very small. If someone can really kill him, then the clone he carries with him in the Room of Requirement will probably not be spared. Therefore, it is very important to find a safe shelter.

In addition to Ivy's own clones, the other clones placed in this underground laboratory are actually experimental materials. Ivy obtained a suitable amount of flesh and blood from his magical animal companions as casting materials. He hopes to use these clones to conduct experiments on flesh and blood magic.

He planned to try to transplant some foreign flesh and blood tissues to the clones of these magical creatures, so that they could gain corresponding benefits. Phoenix tail feathers and dragon heartstrings were powerful spellcasting materials, and if they could be transplanted to other magical animals or humans, they might produce miraculous effects.

In addition to these parts related to spellcasting ability, integrating certain artificial or processed materials with special properties with biological organisms is also one of Ivy's research topics. Maybe in the future, we can develop magic prosthetic technology, and it won't be a problem to create a magic version of Space Marines.

However, in front of a female wizard like Kemina who loves animals, Ivy would certainly not admit that the embryos in the glass culture dish were experimental materials.

He clapped his hands, and a ball of dazzling flame suddenly exploded on his shoulders.

When Kemina looked again, the ball of fire had transformed into a gorgeous and majestic bird.

"This is Sparkle, a phoenix," Ivy introduced. "A magical animal from my homeland, with the most beautiful singing voice and the most gorgeous feathers in the world."

Sparks obviously understood Ivy's compliment and immediately put on a proud look, with the crest feathers on his head almost thrown behind him.

Seeing the sparks, Kemina was obviously much more relaxed. As a bird lover, the appearance of the phoenix made her jealous.

"Her name is Spark? It's amazing..." Kemina exclaimed, "She is the most beautiful bird I have ever seen."

The white owl, which had been squatting on Kemina's shoulder and had little presence, cried out in dissatisfaction and pecked Kemina's ear with its beak.

It was not until the latter reached out and soothed it twice that the owl calmed down again.

Kemina leaned towards the display of glass jars, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Their bodies are not suitable for display in this place. Why don't I take you there to see them myself?" Ivy called out the Grimoire of Destruction.

Although the door to the Room of Requirement was placed in the dormitory tower, Ivy could call the page containing the entrance back to the Grimoire of Destruction with just a thought.

The Room of Requirement is truly a magical place that will make everyone feel magical.

When she saw the magical Kemina for the first time, she didn't know where to put her eyes. The decoration style from another world and the Bobbies who served her enthusiastically were already overwhelmed for her.

Not to mention there are four unique magical creature areas waiting for her to visit.

"Ah! Pegasus!" Kemina pointed at the ebony rolling around on the farm. "The ones in the jar are really their clones! Where did you find so many magical animals? It's like carrying a luxurious house and manor with you! So enviable!"
