When the red chain disappeared, the vow was fulfilled. Riddle and Delphi let go of each other.
Things were getting more and more interesting. The Soul Vessel could use magic here, which meant that they could continue their disguise.
Regardless of what Riddle was planning, Elwyn decided to follow Delphi to understand the current situation in the magic world.
Opposite him, the nervous Delphi secretly heaved a sigh of relief and put down her wand.
"This can ensure that we have the most basic trust between us," she said with satisfaction. She looked at Elwyn worriedly. "You will keep this promise, right?"
"Don't worry, my dear cousin will not watch me die because I broke the vow," Riddle said.
"That's right!" Elwyn nodded. His eyes would be closed when the time came.
"Since we are now allies, I think we can have a deeper understanding," Riddle said. "I have a lot of questions about the time converter. What was the information you mentioned just now? Why doesn't the Ministry of Magic have a time converter? Also, how do you plan to save your father? What happened to him? "
This fellow, after knowing that Delphi was his descendant, was obviously more proactive than before.
"I have to start from the beginning..."
"Wait, let's go somewhere else," Elwyn said. "You guys can't be planning to talk here, right?"
"Yes, we should leave quickly. If the people from the Ministry of Magic find out, it will be bad," Delphi said.
The three of them returned to the first room. The wall spun and Delphi mastered the method to break the Ministry of Magic's magic.
She chanted an incantation and a ball of light flew out from the end of her wand and landed on the stone door leading to the elevator.
"Here!" She waved her hand and went to open the door.
Taking this opportunity, Elwyn lowered his voice and asked, "Can the Soul Vessel make an unbreakable vow with others?"
"As you can see!" Riddle emphasized. "I said, I am a special Soul Vessel."
"What will happen if you don't keep your promise? Let me say this first, if we really find the time converter, I will not give it to her, especially if she goes back to save her father... "
"If I break the oath, my body will be destroyed under the effect of magic."
"Speak clearly!" Elwyn looked at him in surprise. "What do you mean by this body? What will happen after it's destroyed? "
"It's the me that you see now. After destroying it, you can just build another one." Riddle said, "To me, it's just a small loss of energy. The key is the soul in the ring. Put the ring away, I don't want to stay in this strange time."
Even if he wanted to stay, Elwyn would not feel at ease leaving him here.
According to Riddle, the price of breaking the oath was negligible to him.
Elwyn could not help but feel sorry for Delphi. Riddle was the same as him, and had no intention of helping her at all.
"Well, what do you plan to do next?" Elwyn asked quickly. "Make friends with your own daughter?"
"I hope to understand the future as much as I can before I return." Riddle paused and looked at Delphi expressionlessly. "As for her saying that her name is Riddle, I have never admitted it."
You don't need to admit it, she is already called Riddle!
Elwyn could not guess what this guy was planning, but as long as he could control the soul vessel, there would not be any problems.
As for the future, Elwyn was curious about what would happen.
However, it was different from the past. From the perspective of time magic, the future itself would change.
What they saw now might not necessarily happen. Rather than saying it was the future, it was more like a possibility among the countless timelines.
Just as Elwyn and Riddle were whispering to each other, Delphi looked back at them, thinking about something.
There was no one in the dark corridor. They could hear the rumbling of the elevator at the end of the corridor. Many people were using it. Through the gap in the elevator, Elwyn could even hear the bustling chatter from the hall upstairs, as if hundreds of people were talking at the same time.
"Why is it so loud?" he asked.
"Is there anything strange?" Delphi replied. "The Ministry of Magic has always been like this during the day."
"It's daytime now?"
"Yes!" Delphi nodded and looked at them doubtfully.
"Here's the thing. We broke in last night without registering." Elwyn said, "Delphi, you know what I mean, it's best not to let others see us, especially Tom in his school uniform. It's too conspicuous!"
"That's not a big deal. Hogwarts is on summer vacation now, and some students will come to the Ministry of Magic," Delphi said. "I don't know how you two got in, but when you go out later, follow me and try to be natural. Once you reach the fireplace, you can leave through the flying net. If anyone asks, you can say that you came in with Frank Boll from the Muggle Management and Control Department. He will cover for us."
This guy should be Delphi's spy in the Ministry of Magic, but what kind of department was the Muggle Management and Control Department?
Elwyn had never heard of this department, but he knew that it was related to Muggle. It was the Department of Prohibition of Muggle Abuse, where Mr. Weasley worked. It was under the Department of Magic Law Enforcement and was responsible for dealing with wizards who used magic on Muggle items. It was a department that was not taken seriously.
The elevator went up very fast, and the hall of the Ministry of Magic appeared in front of them after eighteen years.
In front of Elwyn was a hall with a complicated structure.
It was not at all like the main hall of the Ministry of Magic in Elwyn's memory. It was twice as big as the one he was familiar with.
The fountain in the center was shining with golden light, and the statues on it were changing. The water column shot up to a height of thirty feet.
The water splashed everywhere, casting spots of light on the shiny wooden floor and walls.
At the very top of the fountain, higher than anywhere else, was a semicircular silver sphere.
Elwyn did not know what it was used for, but he felt that his eyes were not enough to take in everything.
With the fountain and the silver sphere as the center, the four walls were spiraling upward, crisscrossing, and constantly changing escalators.
There was a wizard standing on each of the escalators, sending them to different floors.
When they reached their destination, a green light flashed, and the wizards disappeared into their respective offices.
Along the escalator, Elwyn saw a constantly changing dynamic picture, which was the main source of the noise he had just heard.
In the Ministry of Magic that he was familiar with, it was the windows of the departments. They were enchanted, and the weather was decided by the Magic Maintenance Department every day. But now, it was a huge glass wall, and with the constantly changing picture, it looked like an electronic screen.
This electronic screen made of glass was probably something like that. Elwyn believed that wizards would not use too much technology related to Muggle. The constantly changing picture in front of him might be driven by magic, or a product of the combination of magic and science.
