The two of them got up and left the office. Allen gently closed the door behind him, and they went straight to the round room that they had passed by earlier. As the door of the round room closed, the round walls rotated rapidly.
They first entered the Hall of Time, which was filled with a diamond-like flickering light. Clocks could be found on every surface. They were of different sizes, from grandfather clocks to traveling clocks. They were either hanging between bookshelves or standing on tables that were as long as the room.
Because of this, a rapid and incessant ticking sound filled the whole room, like the sound of thousands of tiny footsteps marching in formation. The diamond-like flickering light came from a bell-shaped crystal glass cover that stood tall at the end of the room. This bell-shaped crystal glass cover was as tall as Harry. It stood on a table, and it looked like it was filled with a churning, sparkling air current.
Inside the cover, a small, gem-like object floated up and down. This object was a small hummingbird, but it was not always a bird. At the bottom of its cycle, the bird was carrying its egg. When it rose in the glass cover, it cracked, and a hummingbird emerged and rose straight to the top of the glass cover. But as the air current fell, the bird's feathers were dirtied and wet again until it fell to the bottom of the glass cover and was locked in the egg again. This process of time repeated endlessly inside the cover.
There was a closet with a glass front. The wall of the closet was filled with all kinds of hourglasses. This was also the place where the Time Turner was stored. This kind of magical item was obviously prone to big mistakes. In the previous battle between the Ministry of Magic and Lord Voldemort, Allen's deliberate efforts had prevented the Time Turner from being damaged on a large scale as it should have been.
But this kind of management attitude also made Allen, who had experienced time travel, decide to strengthen the management of this thing in the future. The various bells in the hall were intertwined with the sound of walking. The new Silent Wizard focused his attention on the hummingbird. "In that huge grandfather clock, that little bird is constantly born and dies, showing the scene of the cycle of time, like a phoenix in the fire cycle of nirvana and eternal life. I think it has a great symbolic meaning, the alternation of life, the reincarnation of fate. You left a similar question in the bronze door ring in Ravenclaw's lounge."
"Everything to the Ring, and even the round room with the twelve doors, are not meaningless. My research on time is still relatively shallow. It's not a big problem to steadily use the Hour Reversal Spell to create an area with this effect and an amulet to resist the damage caused by time backtracking. It is said that some Netheril wizards can simulate the effect of stopping time by accelerating their own speed. It is even said that there are also great arcanists who have a deep understanding of time who can really stop time. However, this kind of ability obviously requires a long period of research. Based on my personal experience, the time domain is currently the most difficult one to achieve. Just to give you a rough explanation, our goal today is not the time domain, nor is it the oracle hall where the orb is stored behind the bell-shaped glass cover. Let's go out first. "Luna's answer made Allen focus his attention back on her.
The next place they entered was the Brain Hall. This square room was very bright and almost empty except for a table. In the middle of the room, there was a huge glass tank filled with dark green liquid. It was big enough for people to swim in. Many white things were slowly floating around in the tank. They were brains.
"The thoughts produced by the most complex human mind. The damage caused by the mind is not less than the damage caused by the body. The tentacles produced by the brain —" Luna looked at Allen as she spoke. Some silky tentacles extended from her head, like moving ribbons flying out from her body. They unfolded like a roll of film. As soon as these tentacles came into contact with Allen's skin, they immediately began to entangle him like ropes.
Seeing that Allen did not react in shock, Luna was a little disappointed and instantly retracted the tentacles. "I'm quite accomplished in my research on the Brain Hall. This kind of thinking tentacle is just the lowest level of usage. 'Dismemberment' doesn't work on them. This kind of physical magic spell can't affect the mind. It can cause a wound that is difficult to heal. However, due to the invention of the Doctor's Oblivion Ointment and the mastery of other means, it's not very useful as an attack. But you've always been envious of my ability to bypass your Brain Seal to probe your thoughts. This is also the origin of my ability. "
Upon hearing this, Allen nodded. He was actually a little happy. When he met Ravenclaw for the second time in ancient times, he had decided to learn this ability first. Then, he would take a good look at what Luna was thinking.
"Since studying it can get an enhanced version of Mind Extraction, naturally, you can also get an enhanced version of Brain Seal. Although the principle is not the same …" Luna tilted her head and smiled at Allen.
After being splashed with cold water, Allen was a little embarrassed. He rushed towards the Silent Woman. "Don't say it when you're looking at my brain!"
Luna jumped away from the attack. "I can still look at it for a while before you learn it."
The two continued to fight and went deeper into the Brain Hall. Finally, they came to a black room full of planets. It was as if they were floating in the darkness. Various celestial bodies moved in an orderly manner in front of them. As they entered, Allen even felt that he was floating in the air sometimes.
"This Planet Hall is next to the Brain Hall, so you should see them as a whole when you're studying. Some gravity-related spells and prophecies are also very related to it. Astrology, also known as astrology, is a system that uses the relative positions and relative movements of celestial bodies to explain or predict the fate and behavior of people. The positions of the sun, the moon, and the stars and their various changes are interpreted to predict various things in the world. Celestial bodies, especially planets and constellations, predict the changes of everything in the world in a causal or non-accidental way. Astrology uses the place of birth, the time of birth, and the positions of celestial bodies to explain people's personality and fate. " Luna used both of her hands to zoom in and out some corners of the universe. "Many Muggle wizards, and even some arrogant pure-bloods, scoff at divination and prophecies. Even centaurs who are good at observing the stars think that it's nonsense to predict the fate and war of humans from the orbit of the planets. They think that what happens to humans cannot affect the stars, or they blindly believe that the stars do not exist to serve anyone. But in fact, these effects on humans are real. To be precise, the effects of the stars do not serve any individual, but serve all things in the world and are also affected by all things in the world. It's just the most observable part of the defense of fate. If you can follow its thread and ignore those irrelevant and messy matters, you can make a prophecy."
"I've always attached great importance to prophecies and divination. As I studied them, I actually found that Sybil Trevor's predictions were correct. Almost all of Professor Trelawney's prophecies were correct, although many of them came true in unexpected ways. Many people don't believe in fate and don't care about the so-called 'fate theory'. But in my opinion, the reason why he has such a personality is because of the growth experience given to him by fate. " Allen expressed his affirmation of divination and prophecy. He had always attached great importance to this aspect. "You seem to attach great importance to this room? Then what ability can I gain by studying this room? "
"Prophecy spells can let you know the secrets that have been buried for a long time, foresee the future, find hidden things, and see through deceptive spells. It can lift the mysterious veil of time and space, and make things clearer. Prophecy is a very difficult magic to master because it is a changeable reality that is shrouded in fog. You may misunderstand it, and it may change in the future due to other influences. But as your skills improve, your way of looking at things will no longer be the eyes of a mortal. You and I are different. You don't have divine power. Gods, regardless of their priesthood, more or less have this ability. So it will be harder for you to start than for me. " As she spoke, Luna touched Allen's chin. As she touched his chin, the little hair that had just sprouted out of his beard automatically fell off like the hummingbird in the Hall of Time. "You look better without the beard. Aside from prophecy, it also allows you to influence things that sound more ethereal and illusory."
"Let me guess …" Allen touched his chin that had become completely smooth again. Then he thought of the goddess that Sybil pretended to be. "Is it luck?"
"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind. Some people's lives are lucky, and some people's lives are full of misfortune. But very few people can control their own luck. If you study them thoroughly, you can not only see them in prophecy, you can even lift the veil of opportunity, situation, and chaos, and glimpse deeper into the real possibilities. When the elements of fate come into play, there will be countless possible outcomes. These are not something that can be explored. Because of this understanding, you can see the essence of fate more clearly. 'Opportunity' is not what most mortals think. From this biased and careful exploration, you can forcibly change the probability of things happening like weaving, and gain a certain degree of ability to control the fate of others. " Luna was apparently quite satisfied with Allen's acumen. She stroked Allen's chin for a while. "During the holidays, except for Helena and you learning the Netherese Scroll together, you should put your remaining energy into the Hall of Brain and the Hall of Universe. You haven't had time to seriously explore the seventh floor of our tower. The Hall of Brain, Hall of Time, and the Department of Mystical Affairs are the same."
Allen had not had time to carefully explore the two rooms in the basement of the tower. Hearing Luna's words, Allen put this matter on his agenda. Back in ancient times, the things that he asked Luna to help him store were still fresh in the Hall of Time in the tower.
