Chapter 109 The Sands of Time

Kane stated the Great Lakes incident to wizard representatives who could be understood as the "United Nations Task Force".

He first briefly explained the past of the ambush.

This part is basically verifiable, with a bunch of eyewitnesses and even video footage magically recorded in a crystal ball.

The representatives had already searched for the wizard last night and learned all the information. So now it's just a formality. Their focus is on the information Kane got from talking with Yu Xiaolou.

After the foreplay, Kane emphasized: "The horizontal comparison between parallel universes is specious. It is difficult to draw conclusions about how high the similarity is. Those who understand the principles of divination believe that foresight is change, so what happened in another world Please judge for yourself how likely it is to happen in this world. In addition, I cannot be sure that the information I have obtained is the truth, I can only guarantee that what I said is the information I heard, and I am not lying."

After all, Kane signed a frank oath in public.

The wizards once again secretly praised Kane's approach.

Due to the particularity of the caster, how to eliminate falsehood as much as possible has always been the main point of consideration in such a serious occasion.

A counterfeit with Polyjuice Potion, or a Fascination spell, can throw things off course from the root.

Veritaserum works well, but there is a matter of degree involved here. Now it is an inquiry of a consulting nature, not a trial of a suspect, and the use of veritaserum, which is a violation of personal rights.

Kane took out these contracts to ensure the minimum arbitration, which seemed very professional and good manners.

As for the reliability of the contract, it's still the same sentence: It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, the unique mental power perception of the caster can detect its characteristics. This is a common ability owned by wizards on the mysterious side, and it is also a characteristic of the secondary law symbol of the planetary secret script.

This kind of writing itself is the abstraction and condensation of natural laws, and it can be understood directly from a perceptual perspective. Of course, there is a threshold, and ordinary people cannot.

In this regard, people with psychic powers (including some mentally ill patients, underage children, and changing lights after a serious illness) are like color blindness, can see, or can image in their minds some things that ordinary people can't see. to things.

All the wizards present are experienced wizards, so there is no difficulty in identifying them. Some people are even thinking about whether to introduce this contract system into their departments.

They speculate that this system is likely to be a product of the glorious age of magic.

Where is the glory? Beautiful, all kinds of miracle-level buildings? No, at least these are not the main criteria of evaluation. The main yardstick is that which is humanistic and distinguishes the savage from the barbaric.

Just like ancient Rome, they had an enlightened system at that time and tried various systems such as the republic, but were later defeated by a group of barbarians, causing Europe to fall into a dark age that lasted for centuries.

From the perspective of today's people, ancient Rome was glorious, but the ancestors of the main population of Europe today played a disgraceful role at that time.

In the cognition of these wizards, the height of civilization in the glorious period of magic is even higher than that of modern times.

The legendary Atlantis was a product of magic civilization, and was finally destroyed in a world-class catastrophe similar to a nuclear war. And the characteristics of magic civilization make its civilization traces rarely preserved (magic power is lost, decay is accelerated and completely)

It is precisely because of this background that once Kane's contract magic is connected with the glorious period of ancient magic, it immediately becomes synonymous with being tall.

Kane's opening sentence is slightly more informative, but still understandable to wizards.

The time-turner that Hermione used in her third year in the original history line is now lying in the magical item vault of the British Ministry of Magic.

Although Rowling, the creator of the orthodox HP world, later felt that such an item against the sky (compare "Death Note",

It is not difficult to imagine its role) can easily become a fatal loophole and destroy it in a very careless way. But as long as there is existence, even if it once existed, there must be influence (butterfly effect).

Knowledgeable wizards generally know the existence of this item, and even know its driving principle and key substances, so they also have a certain concept of parallel universes.

After Dumbledore proposed to investigate the mystery of the demise of the Carret family in 1853, Kane also deliberately supplemented this information.

Coupled with Yu Xiaolou's additions not long ago, we have a basic understanding of the space-time-related substances and creations in this world.

The source of everything comes from the magical substance, the Sands of Time.

It is said that this kind of substance is the leftover substance after the world was shaped, similar to the leftovers of the construction site. Of course, the quality is extremely high, after all, it has the prefix of "magic".

There are also many legends about the Sands of Time. Kane thinks the more important one is that a certain person had a fight between it and the incarnation of the law of the world. He won and created the legendary magical creation of the hourglass of time.

What is this concept? Simple understanding, as the loser, the world has recognized the right to use this item.

This is a different kind of registration, and it won't be like being struck to death by a thunderbolt from the clear sky.

At the same time, it also means that the world agrees to endorse it. Except for some troubles, the world will wipe its ass, or neutralize and balance the consequences caused by it.

Kane thinks this is very important. This kind of magical substance can only be played by gods. If ordinary people use it, the power of time and space will backfire, and the consequences will be more tragic than death.

In his previous life in the Wanxiangmen system, he also saw some pretending criminals who hated the heavens and the earth and hated the earth to die because they were overwhelmed.

Just like Kasas, the Terminator of Netheril in the DND universe, the 41st-level arcanist, killing the gods is very powerful, but it is very tragic to follow the ascension to the gods. As a result, the magic net of the magic system collapsed, all magic was invalidated, the floating city fell, and the new generation of magic goddess Mystra saved three of them. Kasas ended the Nether civilization and also the Age of Arcana.

This kind of typical flipping table can be done well by Sand of Time. If the world does not endorse it, magic civilization can be ruined by using it.

So Kane felt that the formation of the Hourglass of Time was extremely important. The extremely important mysterious leftovers were stolen, and the construction site recognized it with a pinched nose. Later, the leftovers killed someone, and it was found that they came from this construction site. The construction site should be responsible. This is the meaning of the endorsement.

The Hourglass of the Legendary Time of Creation, at the cost of the upper limit of life, can return to the past, and can be activated three times every 24 hours.

In the hands of a smart person, it is not an exaggeration to say that this thing is an invincible weapon.

It is said to have been shattered later in the struggle. And the point of contention is the ancient Syrian desert.

The world laughed.

It's not my fault! Reasonable and legal confiscation.

Therefore, more than half of the sands of time have been lost in the sand sea and cannot be found.

And for the rest, no one has the legendary skill of making the hourglass of time, so the usage becomes rough and wasteful.

It is said that they were hidden in the Temple of Time. Later, many stories happened around them, and the Sands of Time were consumed little by little.

Sabiya the Immortal, one of the founders of the modern wizard's spellcasting system (casting with a magic wand), left behind the principle idea of ​​a time converter, which was perfected by later generations, and finally created a time converter. Its core substance is twelve The sand of time is used to represent the time scale of the mysterious direction, so this kind of creation is plural, and there is more than one.

There is only one known left, the one in the British Ministry of Magic's Strange Items Vault.

The ins and outs are all there, but obviously the pit is very obvious, even if it is not counted as disappearing in the sea of ​​sand, there are still some sands of time whose whereabouts are unknown.

This means that in any parallel universe with the main axis of HP, there are several opportunities to use the Sands of Time to make trouble. Including traveling through time and space like Yu Xiaolou.

Most of the wizards here are also aware of this past, and understand that the Sands of Time can travel through time and space when used intensively.

Going back in time is a complicated concept, involving the butterfly effect and world endorsement.

If it's a small operation like Hermione's time-turner, it's not enough to shake the general trend, the world's law system treats you as if you use other methods to achieve a similar effect, and tolerate this bug with a blind eye. This is called the power of world correction.

If it is a big change, there will be a bifurcation of time and space, forming a new parallel world.

As for the question of who Zhengshuo is, let's put it this way, the dark HP world was not Zhengshuo in the first place, Kane was reborn here, created the Magic Eye Merchant Guild, etc. Too much.

This world, like a new leaf on the trunk, is still immature. Only when it truly develops its own grand and profound history can it be called a parallel universe. The severely affected areas are still in the same state, and have not been torn from the original dark HP world, especially the deep space universe.

So Kane's in-depth thinking triggered by this incident is: how many parallel worlds will perform operations like this, thus bringing unfathomable troubles to this world?
