Volume 7: A World with Bad Consequences Chapter 474 Carlo Manor
As for how to find out how to open the door in the Time Hall, Jon actually has a solution that is not a solution.
It must be a magical item that can prevent that door from being opened.
As for John, as long as it is a magic item, he can use the second gem on the ring to absorb the magic power in it, thus destroying its effect.
If it really comes to the point where there is no other way, Jon can only try to absorb all the magic power from all the magic items in the entire Time Hall, destroy all their effects, and open that inconspicuous door.
Of course, this can only be used as a solution that is not a solution. Until it is absolutely necessary, neither John nor Slughorn wants to completely destroy the Time Hall, which has been the site of the British wizarding world's research on time magic for thousands of years.
So after Jon got the news about the Time Hall from Dandy, the first thing he did was to go to the room full of various clocks and hourglasses.
If there was one most suspicious thing to be found in this room, it would undoubtedly be the time-turners that were damaged for no apparent reason.
When John came to the Time Hall for the second time, he didn't stop but went straight to the counter where all the damaged time converters .
Those golden pocket watches were placed in a transparent glass cover, without any defense or lock. Anyone could open it and take them out. It seemed that even if someone took it home directly, nothing would happen.
Jon took out a time converter. He had tried to move the hands on these pocket watches the last time he came, but they were indeed damaged and could no longer display any time magic.
This time, Jon did not make any other attempt, but directly selected one of them and used the universal spell-breaking magic on the ring to try to absorb the magic attached to the converter.
The result was that he succeeded.
The magic power on the time converter was not that strong. After John absorbed it, he did not feel any significant increase in the magic power in the second gem.
But being able to absorb this means that the reason these time converters cannot be used is not because the magic power stored in them has failed, but because there are other more elusive problems.
At the same time, John had been paying attention to the inconspicuous door. After he absorbed the magic power from the time converter, the door did not respond at all. John tried once, but the door was still blocked and could not be opened.
After verifying that the problem was not with the time converter, Jon changed his target and continued trying.
It was while he and Slughorn were preparing in the Department of Mysteries, Devon, England.
In the wilderness far away from the Muggle town, there is a manor that looks like a giant beast lying on the ground in the night, where a banquet for tonight is being held busily.
The owner of this manor is named Carlo, one of the most noble surnames in the British wizarding world. After the Wizarding World launched a war against Britain, all the pure-bloods, especially the old-school pure- blood families whose surnames were included in the Sacred Twenty-Eight Clans, gathered in this manor.
The pressure that the Wu Ping Line brought to the Pure Blood Sect forced them to gather together to prevent being defeated one by one.
The Carlo family’s manor is the gathering place chosen by the old-school pure-blood circle.
In fact, in some cases, these pure-blood wizards from the Twenty-Eight Holy Families perform much better than the new-school pure-bloods in this kind of rule that is absolutely superior to pure-bloods.
They are all wizarding families with a long history and have always had their own industries in the wizarding world. After Voldemort came to power, even if they gained more benefits, few of them had the mentality of nouveau riche. However, many new pure-bloods have the phenomenon of "poor people suddenly getting rich", and it is precisely because of this that they are always despised by the old pure-bloods.
But even if these ancient wizard families are slightly stronger, their strength is still limited.
In Carlo Manor, they were clearly huddled together for warmth under the threat of the Wu Ping Line's attack, but they still acted like they were on vacation. They had a small party every three days and a big banquet every five days. It was no exaggeration to say that they had fun every night.
And tonight, they were the same.
The Carrow family not only does not think there is anything wrong with these foreign pure-bloods eating and drinking in their own home, but in order to show their generosity, they also invited the Weird Sisters Band, which is famous in the magic world, to play music for the dinner today.
It was when Carlo's manor was brightly lit, thousands of candles were floating in the night like stars, and the melodious violin and piano ensemble spread across the fields.
Looking down from the sky, surrounding this huge manor, there are countless figures hiding in the wheat fields from all directions, approaching quietly little by little!
Moody's breathing became slightly faster.
That's certainly not because of fear, but a kind of anticipation called excitement!
His magic fake eye kept spinning as he gave instructions to Tonks, who had temporarily come to act as his assistant because of Lupin's injury.
"Tell Fidel's team that there are seven people in the northwest. Let him join Arthur's team. Only when the two of them work together can they have a chance to eat all of them."
Tonks quickly wrote Moody's instructions on a piece of parchment and threw it casually on the ground. The parchment turned into a gray mouse, running very quickly in the wheat field, delivering the message to the right person.
"I'm already thinking about what food I should bring back for Remus after tonight's mission." Tonks muttered, saying something that made Moody frown.
"If you were an Auror under my command and said something like this before a mission, I would definitely expel you from the team and write down the words 'I swear I will never be rude again' three hundred times."
Moody whispered a lecture to her, but then he couldn't help his gossip.
"How long have you been together? I have no idea."
Tonks rolled her eyes as she pulled at her bubblegum pink hair.
"You are not my grandfather. Do I need to report to you for everything? Remus learned bad things from you. Although he is very manly, he is always a little unromantic and cares a lot about his identity."
In response, Moody did not argue with Tonks. He just remained silent for a while and then spoke.
"Just resolve the problem between yourselves. I don't want to sit in a conference room in the future and endure the embarrassment of you two quarreling with each other."
