Hogwarts: The Book of Magic

Chapter 207 Dismantling the Time Converter

Then, Nico stood on a table next to him.

"This is the machine I made to dismantle fine alchemy items." Nico also introduced it to Lean intimately.

Lean looked around and felt that the machine was a bit like the one from the robotic surgery in his previous life.

A clear sound rang in Lien's ears, and the mechanical claws around the table immediately started to move, constantly moving on the time converter.

As parts were disassembled one after another, drops of sweat began to seep from Nico's forehead.

After another 10 minutes, Nico finally stepped down from the table with a sigh of relief.

"It's pretty smooth, it didn't touch the core of the Time Converter, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Nico picked up a wet towel next to him, wiped his face and said.

"core?"

Lean asked, he really didn't have much understanding of the composition of the Time Converter, and he believed that not many people even in the Ministry of Magic knew about it, even if they had been researching it.

"Yes, the core, I call it the sand of time. At first I wanted to call it the heart of time, but unfortunately it is too small, more like sand than a pebble."

As Nico said, he stretched out his hand and brought out a plate containing the Time Converter parts and the opaque liquid from the machine.

"This is a magical potion I prepared. As long as you soak something in it, its magic power can be suppressed. It's a very useful thing."

Nico took the plate and walked to another instrument, and by the way, gave Ryan Cop a look at the liquid, or to show off.

Lean glanced curiously. To be honest, he didn't expect Nico to be so powerful that he could match this thing.

The different world where Liszt's hut was made used a small magic circle and a mechanical arm controlled by the mage's mind to complete the assembly and suppress its magic power.

However, no matter how powerful the magic circle is, it is not as convenient as the potion.

"Okay, let's take a look."

Nico activated an instrument next to it, and suddenly a light and shadow was projected into the air.

"This is the sand of time I told you about. It's a small piece, but it's the key to the Time Converter's ability to move time."

A small, irregular, white particle was projected by Nico, and it was enlarged by the way.

"No one knows the production of the Sands of Time yet. You can only collect a few grains by luck. But I believe there are still a lot of Sands of Time in this world, but they are too difficult to find."

Nico shook his head and said with some regret.As an alchemist, seeing precious materials drowned in the world like this, I really feel helpless.

"It's really hard to notice, but don't they produce time fluctuations?"

"Hahaha, if there is no magic power to stimulate, they are very stable, just like ordinary sand. But if you use magic power to stimulate, then the power of time and space will be generated, and you will be sucked in."

Nico paused, and continued: "This was discovered by the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom of China. They have been researching the Time Converter a long time ago."

Lien immediately understood that since it could be detected that it would be sucked in, then naturally there must be a few unlucky ones who were sucked in.

"This small patch is used to absorb magic power, and a rune is engraved on it to activate the surrounding magic power."

Nico didn't notice Lean's contemplation, and changed a projection with a wave of his hand, and continued to explain to him.

"First activate the magic power, and then slowly inject it into the sand of time. And it is connected to the pointer in the time converter dial. Every time the pointer turns around, it injects magic power that can go back one hour."

Nico waved his hand again and changed the projection.

"This is a magic power stabilization device, which stabilizes the magic power inside the sand of time. The specific principle is not clear, and I have no ability to make it for the time being. But fortunately, the magic power stabilization device of this time converter is well preserved."

"Otherwise, I will definitely not repair it again."

After finishing speaking, Nico also glanced at Lean.

But Rion was secretly talking to his brain at the moment.

"Is there such a thing in that world?"

"No, the world of Sands of Time doesn't exist. However, it doesn't rule out the possibility that the brain's level is too low and it doesn't have access to high-level materials."

Zhinao's answer did not surprise Lean, he had not seen any material with a function similar to the sand of time in Liszt's hut.This inquiry is just a casual statement, if there is a date or not, first hit two poles before talking.

"Mr. Nico, besides this, are there any other key parts?"

Lean also noticed Nicole's gaze and asked.

"Of course, there are also parts that release magic power to maintain the time channel, parts that protect users, and so on."

Nico shook his head.

The time converter is very esoteric, and the current research has basically stagnated, and there have been no new discoveries for more than ten years.

"I really don't know how those ancient wizards made them."

Nico sighed with emotion, then smiled and said to Ryan: "Let's go, it's time for lunch."

It was only then that Lean realized that so much time had passed.

"When I was doing experiments before, I always forgot the time, which made Perenelle very angry. Since that time, I never dare to forget the time again."

Nico seemed to recall the scene where Mrs. Flamel got angry, and couldn't help shaking, which caught Lean's attention.

Lean looked at Mr. Nicole who was a little scared, and it was hard to imagine that the gentle and elegant Mrs. LeMay could bring such great fear to this world-famous legendary alchemist.

After having lunch, Nico dragged Lean to the laboratory again.

"Look at this piece, it's completely broken and needs to be remade. There is also this guiding body, which has completely lost the nature of guiding magic, and needs to be remade."

Nico kept talking, occasionally writing and drawing in the notebook next to him.

"Overall, it's pretty good. There are two damaged parts that can't be made, but fortunately, I can replace them with spare parts."

As he said that, Nico also smiled mysteriously at Lean.

Lean was wondering why Niko had accessories for parts that could not be made, but when he saw Niko's smile, he suddenly understood.

Although the number of time-turners is rare, there are more than ten.But the old man in front of him has mastered the making of the elixir of life. He can exchange a bottle of the elixir of life for a time converter for research.

After all, the time-turner can only go back in time, and there are still many restrictions, but the elixir of life is indeed a real life.

This also explains why Niko Detachable Time-Turner is so proficient, because I have played it before.
