Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 793: Time Magic

“The Temple of Time?!” Evan continued to read, and the ancient magical inscriptions on the tablet became more and more scrawled.

Visitor, if you want to banish that terrible creature again, take this tablet to the temple, and the magic left in it will help you.

Remember, greed and ignorance have destroyed the city, and the crimes committed by the wizards of Ionia will never be forgiven.

When you want to take shortcuts to gain power beyond imagination, it often means that you are one step closer to death and destruction.

I have witnessed the demise of this city, but nothing can stop it…

That was the end of the words on the tablet, and Evan still had a lot of things to understand.

There was a magical smell he didn’t understand on this bluish tablet. According to the meaning of the text on it, as long as he brought it to the Temple of Time, he could banish the terrible monster that was coming out. This magical power was too strong. But, where was the so-called Temple of Time?!!

Evan read the information on the tablet again to make sure that the temple was not in the sunken city.

Then he thought of seeing the chart left by the Raven’s Claws in the lighthouse, about the ancient ruins inside the whirlpool of Charybdis. The description on the tablet seemed to mention Ravenclaw and time. The Temple of Time might be there…

Evan looked no more at the tablet and searched in his mind for things related to time.

In fact, he didn’t know much about time magic. This was a very unpopular branch of magic.

For a long time, wizards and witches had used Time-Turners to travel in time, returning to the past or going to the future.

They could change history to some extent, but they must be prepared to pay a heavy price and lose all consciousness.

In time travel, changing just one small thing could make a big difference to everything you knew. What should have happened did not happen, the person who should have been born was not born, and the person who should have died did not die…

After returning to the right time at the end of the trip, the people around you might be different.

In the past three years, Evan had had a lot of time travel. In the second half of the second year, he and Hermione used the Time-Turner countless times to go back to the past, reading all the books of magic he could find, and sometimes secretly learning Dark magic at night.

In the event of Sirius, Evan used the Time-Turner to return to a few hours ago, successfully captured Peter Pettigrew, rescued him from the Acromantulas, changed the history and plot, and cleared Sirius’s name.

However, Evan’s most bizarre experience was to use the Time-Turner left by Rowena Ravenclaw to return to Hogwarts a thousand years ago and meet Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin.

At that time, after listening to Evan’s description of Voldemort, they decided to leave a secret treasure in the school.

Evan didn’t know what was in it. So far, he had only got the key of Gryffindor, and was still short of those of the other three Founders.

The complexity of this matter was absolutely beyond his imagination, and it was not as simple as leaving a treasure.

After that trip, Evan was quickly involved in big troubles one after another, with evil gods, vampires, nightmares and so on. The initial plot had become more complex, even totally different.

In his own words, this was exactly the collapse of the worldview, with ancient and powerful beings and magic appearing one after another.

Evan didn’t understand it very well at first and did his best to keep the plot moving in the direction he was familiar with. But as his knowledge of magic deepened, he came to understand the root cause of everything, and knew that many things had become so complicated because he had changed time.

Like when he saved Sirius and a series of subsequent events changed, history had entered another brand-new timeline from the moment he returned to a thousand years ago or the moment he entered Hogwarts.

Although he had not yet got the secret treasure, the test of the Four Founders had already begun.

Unconsciously, Evan was more and more closely related to these unknown mysteries and so-called evil gods, and the world had changed.

This was where time magic was dangerous. One could not use simple thinking to reason about the impact of a certain change on time.

Of course, it would be nice to just use the Time-Turner like Hermione to go back to class, read books and learn magic.

This allowed users to double, triple or even more time than others, as long as they were not seen by themselves during that time period. As long as their body and spirit could resist it, they could learn again and again.

Because of the nature of time magic, in order to prevent accidents, all existing Time-Turners were strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic. They were kept in the Department of Mysteries and could only be obtained through layers of applications, and the use process must be reported regularly.

After all, no one wanted to disappear so inexplicably. This magic was simply too scary.

Like the Philosopher’s Stone, all existing Time-Turners had been left over from the ancient warlock period.

Today’s wizards simply had no ability to make such powerful magical props, and the Ministry of Magic had made no progress in researching for hundreds of years.

The only wizard Evan knew was proficient in the magic of time was Rowena Ravenclaw, and the Time-Turner she had left also possessed extraordinary magic.

Unfortunately, Evan did not bring back the Time-Turner when he returned from a thousand years ago.

It might now be stored in the Ministry of Magic. After all, all the Time-Turners were there…

Evan quickly swam through the ruins of the sea, looking for a way to go back, and couldn’t help wondering if Ravenclaw had acquired the ability to make the Time-Turner in the Whirlpool of Charybdis since its interior was a temple of time.

Then, he thought of the wizards in the city. They actually had the ability to use time to banish that terrible monster. What magic was it? Was it much more complicated than using a Time-Turner?!

A few minutes later, in the dim waters, Evan saw the glowing green ghost ship not far in front of him.

Like the reactions of the other ghosts in the ruins, because of the sudden appearance of the monster shadow, the undead above were also very panicked and wanted to escape from here.

With their power, they could not stop the Harbinger of Doom, and staying here would make them part of the summoning ritual.

But the terrible octopus-faced captain refused to leave, roaring loudly at his crew, and the giant octopus floated beside the sailing boat.
