The God of Ice and Fire at Hogwarts

Chapter 169: Lynn Strangeness



Lynn suspected that the degree of energy consumption when using the Sands of Time was related to the strength of his soul. In other words, if Lynn could become more powerful and strengthen his soul in the future, the number of times he could use the Sands of Time per day would increase accordingly.

In the final analysis, the Sands of Time could only be used as Lynn's trump card due to the price required to wield them. They could not become a regular fighting method for Lynn.

Even before Lynn retrieved the Philosopher's Stone next year, he would only be able to use the Sands of Time a total of three times.

Soon, the time came for Lynn to bid farewell to Nico and Green.

He had now mastered all the theoretical knowledge of time alchemy in the magical world up until now and had learned the techniques for refining the Sands of Time, as well as the special secret methods for using them in combat.

It could be said that after this trip to France, Lynn's strength had increased considerably.

If he were to fight the Basilisk again, even without using fiendfyre Fire, the Sands of Time alone would be enough to make the Basilisk lose most of its combat effectiveness.

At this point, some might wonder: given that the power of time can make a life revert to a time before its birth or directly age and kill it, why do the Sands of Time only make the Basilisk lose most of its combat effectiveness instead of killing it outright?

In fact, the reason the Sands of Time only made the Basilisk lose most of its combat effectiveness, rather than killing it, was because the Basilisk itself was a magical creature created by humans with an exceptionally long lifespan. The Basilisk had already been alive for thousands of years.

Although the Sands of Time could affect time, the power of time it contained had an upper limit: one hundred years. What the Sands of Time could do, by consuming one-third of the power of time, was advance or reverse the target's time by up to one hundred years.

The Basilisk had lived for a thousand years, and its remaining lifespan was also over a thousand years. Even if the Sands of Time fell upon it, the power of time contained in them would not be able to advance or reverse the point of the Basilisk's death.

At best, it would only change the Basilisk's physical condition to what it was one hundred years ago or one hundred years into the future, making it difficult for the Basilisk to fight without adjusting to its own altered body.

"Master, Master, see you next year!"

Lynn held a cross-border door key shaped like a porcelain teacup and bid farewell to Green and Nico.

A flash of light flickered, and Lynn's body and the teacup twisted in the air before disappearing.

In the blink of an eye, Lynn appeared at the entrance to Rowle Manor.

Lynn quickly entered the manor and returned to Rowle Castle.

"Back?"

Seeing Lynn return, Rowena smiled and nodded.

Lynn nodded and simply said he had gone to visit Master Green and Master Nico Flamel.

However, he did not tell his mother that he had been studying an era considered taboo by wizards in France and had gone to Knockturn Alley to find a dark wizard to practice the three Unforgivable Curses, so as not to worry her.

It was now August 17, and in the previous owl letter with the Weasley twins, he had arranged to visit the Burrow for a few days on August 20.

The same applied to Irina. Additionally, Lynn and Irina had also agreed to go to Diagon Alley on August 19 to buy textbooks for the upcoming semester.

During this day and a half, Lynn rested well. He slept from the afternoon of August 17 until the night of August 18.

This shows just how exhausted Lynn was.

After all, for almost a month, Lynn had either been to Knockturn Alley to practice the Unforgivable Curses or studying time alchemy in the laboratory. You can imagine how tense his nerves were.

When Lynn "opened" from the quilt, he felt much more comfortable.

The accumulated anger from practicing the Unforgivable Curses in Knockturn Alley and the depression from spending all day in the alchemy laboratory were slightly alleviated by this feeling.

After waking up, Lynn saw the sky completely dark outside the window.

He guessed he wouldn't be able to sleep, so he simply got up and went downstairs. After enjoying dinner prepared by the house-elf Gale, he left Rowle Manor alone.

Lynn wandered aimlessly through the streets of England. Although the Muggle world was still brightly lit at night, the corners of the streets remained dark. There were tents inhabited by homeless people and shady figures lurking at the street corners. It was impossible for him to feel the tranquility and beauty that he once felt while shopping at night in his previous life.

"Well..."

Lynn sighed softly. After seeing the surrounding environment, a layer of mist filled his heart.

He no longer had any desire to linger.

Lynn turned around and left, planning to find an empty alley and summon Gale to Apparate him back.

However, as Lynn entered a closed alley, he noticed faint footsteps following him.

He quickly turned around, but when he clearly saw the appearance of the stalker, he, who had originally been on high alert, pursed his lips in boredom.

It was an adult man holding a shiny silver fruit knife in his hand. It was obvious that he was just an ordinary street thug, a Muggle with no magical powers.

"Give me all your money, kid, huh..."

The street thug spoke viciously, but before he could finish his sentence, his voice suddenly stopped.

The scene shifted back to the previous street. The homeless people on the street only saw a faint green light flickering in the alley, and then the alley fell silent.

When these beggars cautiously ventured to explore the alley, they were horrified to see a thug lying on the ground with a fruit knife in his hand. He had no wounds on his body, but he had no vital signs.

The boy who had entered the alley earlier had disappeared without a trace.

The next day.

Outside the Leaky Cauldron, two figures arrived one after the other.

"Lynn, I haven't seen you in a month and a half. I don't know why you seem so much more gaunt."

Irina looked at Lynn with concern and said.

Lynn shook his head and said in an energetic tone, "You're mistaken, or maybe I stayed up all night last night."

After returning to Rowle Manor the previous night, he had lain on the grass in the backyard all night, gazing at the stars the entire time. It was fair to say that he had stayed awake all night.

Irina was still a bit worried. In her opinion, Lynn's bloodshot eyes resembled those of the Dark wizards in Knockturn Alley whose minds had been eroded by Dark Magic.

"Come on, didn't you say we were going to Diagon Alley to buy textbooks?"

Lynn walked toward the Leaky Cauldron.

Irina thought for a while and finally followed him.
