Chapter 481 479 The Secret Room of the Time Hall

Chapter 481 479. The Secret Room of the Hall of Time

This is a small secret room. When Jon walked in, four or five candles suddenly lit up on the surrounding walls, illuminating the space.

Not only is the space small, but all the furnishings in the room are also very simple. There is a bed, a desk, a row of bookshelves, and a mirror frame that should have been a mirror, but now it is missing a mirror.

Jon quickly turned his attention to the small wooden box on the desk. This is the only thing in the room that can store items.

But when Jon picked it up and opened it very easily, he did not find anything in it.

This wooden box is as empty as this secret room, as if there is nothing. Jon accelerated the time and searched the entire room, but still found nothing.

This made him frown.

The time is almost up to the time he and Slughorn agreed on. The pure bloods here are very alert, and even if a banquet is held, it will not delay them for long.

Jon did not stay in the secret room any longer. He walked out quickly and took the egg off the door. Then the whole door began to close.

He stuffed the egg back into the transparent glass column, added water to it, and finally changed the color of the water with a spell.

However, the effect of the egg turning into a bird requires a special transformation catalyst. Jon certainly cannot make it under his current conditions, but he can directly use Transfiguration to maintain such a transformation effect for a period of time. This effect is certainly not as smooth as the previous transformation, and the duration is not long, but at least it can barely cope with it for a period of time.

Just when Jon had just finished all this, the door of the Time Hall was suddenly opened from the outside.

Dandy looked at Jon with a serious face, just like an Auror staring at a criminal.

"What are you doing!"

Jon looked normal.

"Why are you so excited? I just want to take a look here and try to see if I can fix these time converters."

As he spoke, he pointed to the time converters that were placed in a mess on the glass counter and had not been put back in place by Jon.

Dandy didn't just listen to what Jon said. He quickly looked around the entire time hall, then walked in and checked around here, and kept looking at Jon while looking.

Jon acted innocent.

"Hey, what are you doing? Do you suspect that I will steal things here? Look at these shabby things. Which one can compare to the wand made by my uncle?"

After confirming that there was no special change in the entire time hall, Dandy glared at Jon fiercely.

"Get out! Don't come here to wander around when you have nothing to do!"

Jon did not leave in disgrace because of his words, but showed great dissatisfaction on his face. He drew out his wand without hesitation and pointed it at Dandy.

"Damn bastard, you think you can do whatever you want to me just because you are included in the category of pure blood by the blood law, right? Try to say what you just said to me again?"

Dandy's face also darkened. He almost forgot that "Spike" was a young master from an old-school pure-blood family. His reprimand was nothing to young people of the same new school, but it was a great humiliation to the Holy Twenty-Eight Families who always regarded them as pure bloods of higher level.

"You have also joined us. I don't want to make a big deal. This room is very important. You can't just come in privately."

No matter how ugly his face was, Dandy's tone softened a little. Jon snorted coldly and put down his wand.

"It's better to talk like this. I know you have a mission here. I don't care what you want to do, but don't forget the most basic respect and order."

After speaking, Jon turned and left the Time Hall, leaving Dandy with a flushed face and anger but unable to vent.

Staring at Jon's disappearing back, Dandy closed the door of the Time Hall as quickly as possible, then he walked quickly to the door hidden in the wall, carefully observed for a long time, and retracted his gaze after confirming that there was nothing unusual.

He took another look at all the ornaments in the Time Hall. The bird-shaped ornament was still repeating the process of changing from an egg to a bird and from a bird back to an egg. The sand in the hourglasses of all sizes was still flowing, and there was no change.

Finally, Dandy also left the Time Hall. After the room was completely plunged into darkness, it didn't take long for the bird-shaped ornament to suddenly stop changing from an egg to a bird. After that, the egg could no longer maintain such a transformation, but just quietly suspended in the liquid that gradually turned transparent again.

Late at night, Jon found Slughorn.

"I went into the room, but I didn't find anything inside."

Hearing Jon's words, Slughorn also frowned.

"What did you see in there?"

"A bed, a desk, a bookshelf, a chair, a mirror frame without a mirror, and an empty box."

"Are you sure there is no secret compartment in the box?"

"I tried to absorb the magic power in it with the ring, but there was nothing inside. It was not a magic item at all."

"What about other things?"

Jon shook his head.

"I didn't have time to check other things. Time was too tight. When I came out, I ran into that Dandy. I felt that he had doubted me a little."

Slughorn paced back and forth in the office.

"It doesn't matter whether he has doubts or not. Regardless of whether we get anything in the end, we will stay here for two days at most. But the secret room must be checked again. The box is fine, which does not mean that the other furniture is fine. I don't think Voldemort would go to great lengths to hide such a place and send a team of Aurors to look inside when there is nothing."

Jon also nodded.

"Christmas is in two days, which means that after tonight, we actually only have one day."

The office fell into silence. Both Jon and Slughorn were thinking about how they should find the thing that Voldemort hid.

"Malfoy and the others have encountered the people from the Witch Horizon!"

Hearing the explosions and shouts from afar, Amycus was extremely excited.

The people he brought hid in an abandoned utility room in the manor, and during this period, they had seen many teams from the Witch Horizon passing by and supporting Moody in the direction where he was.

This was the situation he had envisioned when he first decided to separate from Lucius. Only in this way could they have a greater chance of escaping.
