Volume 8: In this Hogwarts without the Dark Lord Chapter 497 Method
The so-called looking for professionals, of course, means finding people who have made achievements in alchemy to help study this time converter.
In the entire wizarding world, the person at the top of alchemy is definitely Nicolas Flamel, who once created the Philosopher's Stone. However, he has passed away for many years, but his most proud student is now in Wizarding World.
Slughorn and Jon did not stop, they soon found Iniesta, the master of alchemy after Nico Flamel.
When Jon and the others found him, Iniesta looked haggard.
As the nominal supreme leader of the Wizarding World after Dumbledore left, he was certainly not concealed from the truth about Dumbledore's current situation, so he is now under great pressure and burden. How to arrange those personnel who have been evacuated to Northern Europe? If Voldemort continues to invade the north, how to defend and mobilize personnel, all these need to be decided by him.
But when he knew the purpose of John and Slughorn's visit, he stopped what he was doing and picked up the time converter in the wooden box with great solemnity and seriousness.
Since they wanted him to help with the research, John certainly didn't hide anything and explained the origin of the time-turner in detail. Besides, there was really no need for them to hide anything. Instead, if they publicized the matter, it might have a significant impact on Voldemort's reputation.
Iniesta soon made some discoveries.
"From an alchemical point of view, there is nothing special about this time-turner."
He looked up at Jon and Slughorn.
"The materials it uses are actually quite normal. Not to mention the Fiendfyre, a venomous snake's fangs attacking like this, even an ordinary blasting spell would have a high chance of destroying it."
Listening to his story, Jon couldn't help but frown.
"So what is it that makes it so strong now?"
Iniesta stroked his chin and expressed his guess.
"I don't know if my idea is right, but if it is really given the attribute of being indestructible, then the only possible reason is that it does not belong to this world."
"When traveling through time, from one world to another, the changes between two different timelines caused it to undergo this abnormal change."
Jon and Slughorn looked at each other.
"Is there any other solution?"
This question made Iniesta fall into deep thought. He paced back and forth in silence for a long time. During this time, Jon and the others did not disturb him.
“Maybe there’s a way to do it.”
He suddenly raised his head as if he had thought of something.
"I need to go somewhere first to see if I can find the thing my teacher left behind. It won't take long. I will be back in two days at most and give you an answer!"
Then, Iniesta abandoned all his work in the Wuping Line and disappeared in Northern Europe as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth. No one knew where he went.
However, he did not take the time converter away, and it still remained in John's hands.
At this point, Jon and Slughorn had no choice but to trust Iniesta. Of course, they did not put all their hopes in one basket. After leaving Iniesta, Jon took the time turner back to Durmstrang.
Just as he was about to knock on the door to enter the principal's office, the door of the principal's office was suddenly pushed open from the inside.
Aberforth walked out with a gloomy face , as if he had just had a very unfriendly conversation.
But when he saw Jon, the expression on his face eased a little. He greeted Jon, but he didn't want to talk more and left in a hurry.
Jon walked into the principal's office with a wooden box in his hand, looking somewhat puzzled. Grindelwald's expression did not seem to have changed at all, as he was still calmly looking at a piece of parchment in his hand. When , he just raised his head slightly and glanced at him.
"Mr. Principal, I hope you can take a look at this."
Jon didn't say any other nonsense. He went straight to the point and put the wooden box containing the time converter on the desk and then opened it.
Grindelwald's gaze also turned to the time turner. He had already learned from John what this thing was.
"What do you want me to see?"
Jon said seriously.
"A way to destroy it."
But after he finished speaking, Grindelwald shook his head.
"It's obvious that even a prophet can't see the future of another world. It's obviously a mistake for you to come to me and ask me to help you with this."
After hearing his words, Jon couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Although he didn't have much hope for Grindelwald, he still felt that this was a possibility.
However, Grindelwald obviously hadn't finished what he was saying. He looked at Jon with a very puzzled expression. To be precise, his eyes were on the ring on Jon's finger.
"Although I can't see anything about this time converter for now, I may be able to give you some information about the thing you are holding in your hand."
Jon was stunned at first, and didn't react to what Grindelwald was saying, but when he saw the last missing gem on the ring on his hand, he immediately understood!
Adrian still has the last gem he has made.
Grindelwald pulled out a piece of parchment, held a quill and wrote a place name on it, then handed the parchment to Jon, with a deep light in his eyes, and spoke lightly.
" If you have time, you can go to this address and take a look. You may find some surprises."
Jon took the parchment, saw an address on it that was located in the southernmost part of France, and then thanked Grindelwald sincerely.
Grindelwald seemed to take helping Jon as a simple task and waved his hand.
"If there's nothing else, don't bother me here. I still have a lot of work to do. It's not as free as you think."
Jon was tactful enough not to stay long. He quickly left Grindelwald's office, and after finding Slughorn again and temporarily handing the time converter over to him for safekeeping, he quietly returned to France with Fawkes and the Phoenix.
