I swung a sword at Hogwarts

Now I reached the door, but couldn't get in.

John was also speechless.

"Luckily I'm an alchemist."

John got enough materials from the darkroom. He sat cross-legged and took out the materials one by one.

The material was melted and changed by the golden flame in his hands, and the body of the hourglass was made of underground crystal.

John doesn't have the underground crystal, but he can synthesize a carrier that carries the power of time using other materials.

John took a soul out of the soul lamp and injected it into the hourglass.

The soul was crushed into silver sand, flowing in the hourglass.

John held the magic wand in his left hand and drew a Möbius strip on the hourglass.

The power of time is amplified through the continuous circulation of the soul.

With a clap of his hands, John completed the final step of repairing the hourglass.

Growing out his tail and hooking it onto the Soul Lamp, John held the Snake Eye Gem in his right hand and flipped the hourglass in his left hand.

Then, the illusory door gradually changed as the sand in the hourglass fell.

"He uses time as a condition for unlocking. This is a wizard who is proficient in forbidden magic."

John was amazed. If it were anyone else, they would be stuck at the step where the hourglass was damaged and unable to pass. Only someone who was also proficient in forbidden magic would be qualified to enter.

"Time, alchemy, I am increasingly looking forward to what I will encounter in it."

There was excitement in John's eyes. As a wizard, he not only possessed the scheming of Slytherin, but also had an adventurous spirit that was not inferior to Gryffindor.

Things that can be easily solved are not considered adventures for him.

Only this kind of thing, which requires him to concentrate his whole heart on it, can make him excited.

As the sand in the hourglass gradually ran out, the illusory door gradually solidified.

The eyes of the human-faced snake statue standing outside moved, as if it was spying on the person coming.

John felt the gaze on him, he turned around and looked, but the eyes of the snake-body turned back as if nothing had happened.

...

Chapter 525 Hello, Human-faced Snake

The door between truth and falsehood.

The hourglass is the key that opens the door and traces its existence back to a specific area.

John knew that the person who could leave behind such an alchemical tool must be very powerful.

"A wizard as powerful as Dumbledore."

Several names flashed through his mind. In the history John knew, there were very few wizards who could achieve this level.

Ambrosius is one, and John's time magic has benefited a lot from Ambrosius.

But this place doesn't seem to be where Ambrosius would appear.

Even though he was a Merlin, he would not cross the ocean to settle here.

Furthermore, it is impossible to confirm how many Merlin Johns there are, so it is possible that another Merlin is here.

Merlin is like a rule. Wherever magic is born, Merlin will exist.

No matter which one it is, you won’t know until you go in.

The door was completely solid, and John reached out to touch it.

His fingers touched the door but did not go through.

Pushing hard, the door slowly opened.

Revealing a passage behind the door.

This is the pyramid at a certain point in time.

"Establish a time anchor point so that people from any period can trace back to the exact period."

Seeing how this was done, John thought it was a genius idea.

Step in.

After entering, there is a wall with paintings from many periods.

John stared at the wizard wearing a pharaoh's headdress and holding a snake staff.

Place the Snake Eye Gem in front of your eye and the mural disappears, replaced by a stone door.

There are many coiled snakes painted on the stone gate.

John went forward and pushed, but was locked.

Drawing his wand, John cast the Unlocking Charm.

“Alobomora”

There was a sound of gears turning at the stone gate, and the snakes coiled together on it untied their bodies and bit their own tails.

As the sound stopped, all the snakes turned into Ouroboros biting their tails.

This pattern is seen as endless with no end.

The stone door slowly opened, revealing a steep staircase behind it.

Each step of the stairs is so narrow that one can only step halfway on it.

John walked down the stairs without removing his snake-eye gem.

The soul lamp is hooked on the tail, bringing light in the tunnel.

After walking for nearly an hour, he saw light before his eyes.

John held the wand in his left hand and placed the snake eye gem in his right eye with his right hand.

Walking into the light, there is only a long corridor.

Looking up in the space, a passage like a snake body appeared above.

It was like a space with no distinction between up and down. John put down the Snake Eye Gem, and the top of his head became a ceiling.

"Sure enough, this place is full of illusion and reality."

John tapped the passage he was currently in with his wand, which was no different from the inside of an ordinary pyramid.

He walked towards the passage, and the roads and doors that were not in front of him just now all appeared in his naked eye.

Walk into a room with a half-open door, where there are many burial objects belonging to Egyptian culture.

"If you want to reach the real tomb, you may need to keep switching between reality and illusion."

John knew in his heart that the unknown wizard was a very interesting person.

John smiled slightly, "Since you want to play, I'll accompany you."

He found some golden beetles in the tomb, put them in his pocket, and took out the snake eye gem to look at it.

The original room instantly turned into a dangerous single-plank bridge.

John stood on the log, the soul light on the tail illuminating the area below.

That's a dangerous place full of spikes.

Putting the Snake Eyes Gem down, John walked towards another door in the room.

When I opened the door, the paint dust gave off a choking smell.

He walked in holding his nose and placed the snake eye gem on his eye.

The scene changed, he silently memorized the location, walked over there and put the Snake Eyes Gem down again.

As he repeated the action, John got closer and closer to the real room.

Due to the switching between illusion and reality, he sometimes almost fell out of the channel.

Putting down the Snake Eye Gem again, John had arrived at a place where a stone bridge stood.

At the end of the stone bridge is a stone house made up of many columns.

And in the house, countless treasures were placed inside.

John was watching from a snake-eye perspective, and the bridge turned into a long pipe.

Both the naked eye and the snake's eye pointed the way to the stone house.

John walked forward. The pipe was smooth, as if something had been crawling inside all year round.

This scene seemed familiar to John.

The sewers of Hogwarts.

“Are there any large animals raised here?”

John was thoughtful.

Through the pipe, he arrived at the stone house supported by columns.

After entering, the mountains of gold coins exuded an attractive luster.

When John saw it, he didn't go up directly, but tapped the ground with his wand.

The super sense spell is activated.

The entire scene of the stone house entered John's vision.

His eyes narrowed slightly. This really is a chain of events.

Behind the treasure are countless mechanisms, and the gold coins on them are weights. As long as too much gold coins are lost, the mechanisms will be activated.

Next to the gold coin, there is a sentence.

"Greedy man, you should learn to give up."

But John was sure that few people, after seeing such a huge amount of money, would choose to listen to the warning of a person who had been dead for an unknown period of time.

Walking past the piles of gold coins, John came to the center of the column.

Picking up the Snake Eye Gem, he saw a downward passage on the flat floor.

At this time, many doors appeared on those columns.

The font next to the gold coin changes.

"Choose to face it or avoid it."

John jumped straight to the floor.

His body kept falling.

The body fell onto a mat that looked like hundreds of quilts stacked together.

John looked down and saw layers of huge snake skins covering the ground.

This made it extremely difficult for him to walk.

Standing up, he put down the Snake Eye Gem, and the ground under his feet turned into white bones again.

All those bones were smashed to pieces, probably because the Snake Eye Gem was accidentally released during the fall.

After crossing a skull, a road appeared in front of John.

Inside the Snake Eye Gem, there is a dead end with a bottomless cliff in the middle.

On the opposite side of the cliff stands a statue.

John walked along the true path.

Some mechanisms are triggered on the road, as if to say hello to you.

The lack of traps along the way would not make people relax, but these traps that suddenly appeared created bones on both sides of the road.

For a wizard, John has his own way of avoiding traps.
