Chapter 503：

…

The year 1899 was at a cross-century stage.

The country during this period was in a period of rapid development.

Carriages, ladies, and gentlemen are the labels here.

A hard candy was stuffed into John's mouth. He was in the unhygienic Leaky Cauldron.

For the first time, John saw that this place was even cleaner than in the future. The black stains on the tabletops were indeed old dirt.

It's a pity that the current owner of this bar is also a tidy person.

"I hope Hannah Abbott will clean up this place when she becomes the boss."

This place is the property of the Abbott family, and if nothing else goes wrong, Hannah Abbott will become the boss in the future.

John walked to the back alley and tapped the walls in sequence with his wand.

In the past, he would either Disapparate to Knockturn Alley or take the Floo Network.

This primitive entry through the Leaky Cauldron was a long time ago.

The wall of the back alley deforms, and the entrance to Diagon Alley appears.

When John entered, it seemed as if the place had not changed.

But the boy selling dragon liver on the street won't be the old man in the future, right?

Does your family make a living by slaying dragons? It has been selling for a hundred years.

It is truly a century-old stall.

Passing by the stall selling dragon liver, John headed towards Gringotts.

During this period, Knockturn Alley was not ruled by its king, and chaos and disorder were the normal state of Knockturn Alley.

John used a disembodiment spell on himself.

His body disappeared into the street behind Gringotts.

As you can see, there are dark wizards everywhere.

This is a shelter where those shady guys hide.

The witch who chews her fingernails, the merchant who sells voodoo dolls, the wizard who uses curses as a service.

This is a ghost realm hidden in the human world.

John entered here to look for materials.

The materials for the soul potion are nothing to my future self, but to John, who is currently penniless, it is a big problem.

Unicorn horns are rare things and may not be found in Diagon Alley, but there is no shortage of predators in Knockturn Alley.

Finally, in a dark room, John found the unicorn horn.

It was a delicate bracelet made of unicorn horns.

It might have been stolen from some unlucky witch, or it might have been ripped from the corpse of the witch.

John took off two pieces from the top and turned around to leave when footsteps came from outside.

He stopped his movements and hid in the darkness.

The door to this room was pushed open, and a rough voice mixed with a thick Nordic accent.

"It's really tiring."

"Stop complaining, this vote is of extraordinary value."

"We lost so many people in exchange for these things."

"This time we need to sell it hard for a good price."

Two tall wizards walked into the room and carefully carried three boxes.

John stared at the three boxes and heard the man with a brush beard say: "Egypt is really a treasure place. Even taboos like time magic can be found."

Another bald man said: "If it weren't for those weird sands, we wouldn't have lost so many people."

"If we hadn't escaped quickly, we wouldn't have been able to leave."

The bald wizard complained that they were poachers.

After accidentally entering a pyramid, their greed led them to engage in tomb robbing.

Unfortunately, they were not strong enough and could only find three things in the pyramid and leave.

Wizard Brush Hu opened a box, and inside was an hourglass.

"This thing should be the oldest time turner." Brush Hu greedily said, "Those collectors, please quote a good price for it."

The bald wizard nodded and agreed: "Although it has been damaged, those collectors will only value the history on it so that they can have face."

As he spoke, the bald wizard slowly touched his hand to the wand.

His eyes shone with greed and malice.

Paralyzing his companions with words, he pulled out his wand and asked strangely: "Three of us, how shall we divide them?"

"What's the point?" Wizard Brush Hu said greedily, "Of course I'll take them all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wizard Brush Hu turned around suddenly, with a wand in his hand.

The two men took action almost at the same time.

"Avada Kedavra"

"Blasting Curse"

Two lights lit up in the dark room, and finally there was an explosion and death.

"Greed."

John emerged from the darkness and watched two greedy people kill each other and die.

He walked past the wizard's body, came to the remaining two boxes and opened them.

In one box is a small copper snake, and in the other is a gemstone similar to a snake's eye.

"Alchemical products?"

John squinted his eyes. As an alchemist, he recognized the extraordinaryness of these two things at a glance.

The history above is more than a thousand years old. If the alchemical products can be preserved for such a long time, the refiner must be a powerful alchemist.

Pick up the damaged time turner.

This is indeed an ancient model, but John inferred that the function of this thing does not support time travel.

Rather, it is something that creates a specific time domain within the scene.

"interesting."

John glanced at the corpses on the ground, but he didn't interfere, and the two men died.

means that these three things and a room of materials will be destroyed by time along with this darkroom.

"So taking this thing won't change anything."

John walked to where the materials were stored.

This darkroom has a magical existence, similar to the warehouse of the original Bojinbok store. You need to have the hand of glory to see it.

The dead bald wizard held the Hand of Glory.

John is not subject to darkness, so it has no effect on him.

Walking to a pile of materials, John picked out a few things that looked like stolen goods.

He clapped his hands, and an alchemical magic circle appeared.

Several materials were fused by him into a bag.

Pull out your magic wand and cast the Traceless Telescopic Charm to turn this bag into a simple tool bag.

John stuffed everything inside, including the props in the three boxes.

He stepped over their bodies as a reward for their generosity.

John closed the door for them and let them rot and stink inside.

After getting enough materials, John needs to refine the soul potion.

But if the soul is missing, this potion will be greatly reduced.

"It seems that Azkaban is going to be on the agenda."

Going to Azkaban is a difficult thing for others, but for John who knows the location, it is not too difficult.

John found a house in the suburbs of London where the owner was traveling.

Setting up the crucible, he brewed a weakened version of the soul potion.

"Sure enough, my soul was also damaged."

After drinking the soul potion, John's degree of confusion was reduced.

He made a plan in his mind and continued to use the weakened version of the soul potion. Not to mention that the precious material of unicorn horn was difficult to find, and it would take several months to complete the treatment.

If it is the full version of the soul potion, based on its current efficacy, you can restore your eyesight to normal after drinking it about ten times.

"Dementors."

John has already made up his mind about dementors.

Refining the materials harvested in the darkroom, John made props for capturing dementors.

He took out the copper snake and studied it carefully.

This copper snake is a guidance tool.

Although he doesn’t understand the structure of this thing, with alchemy reaching John’s level, there’s nothing he can’t solve with a clap of his hands.

After repairing the bronze snake, the snake stood upright and swung its tail in one direction like a rattlesnake.

If John’s guess is correct, that direction is most likely the pyramid.

"An ancient wizard's pyramid."

John put the copper snake away, and when he went to Azkaban, he could go and take a look.

On the second day.

John arrived at the beach.

The sun had not yet risen. After John observed that no one was there, wings sprouted from his back.

Azkaban has an anti-disapparation spell. Fortunately, for John, crossing the ocean is not the first time he has done this.

With his wings waving, he quickly became a small dot in the sky.

Facing the direction of Azkaban, he flew quickly like an arrow off the string.

…

The Dementor, who was far away in Azkaban, absorbed the happiness of prisoners, and had just tortured a wizard crazy.

Suddenly, a chill came over me.

The dementor turned to look at the dementor in the cell next to him and communicated in the dementor's language.

"Have you ever felt a sudden chill?"

"Are you stupid? We just have the cold attribute."

…

Chapter 522 Hello, Dementor

The dark sea hides countless dangers.

The ocean at night is the most terrifying, the endless darkness is like a giant ship that wants to swallow everything.
