Chapter 507：

Now I'm at the door, but I can't get in.

John was also a little speechless.

"Fortunately I am an alchemist."

John obtained enough materials from the darkroom. He sat down cross-legged and took out the materials one by one.

The material was melted and changed by the golden flame in his hands. The body of the hourglass was made of underground crystal.

John does not have an underground crystal, but he can use other materials to synthesize a carrier that carries the power of time.

Taking out a soul from the soul lamp, John poured it into the hourglass.

The soul was crushed and turned into silver sand, flowing in the hourglass.

John held the wand in his left hand and drew a Möbius strip engraved on the hourglass.

The power of time is continuously amplified through the soul.

With a clap of his hands, John completed the last step of repairing the hourglass.

Growing a tail to hook the soul lamp, John held the snake-eye gem in his right hand and turned the hourglass in his left hand.

I saw that illusory door gradually changing as the sand in the hourglass fell.

"Using time as a condition for opening, this is a wizard who is proficient in forbidden magic."

It was an eye-opener for John. If it were anyone else, he would be trapped in the hourglass damage step and unable to pass. Only someone who is also proficient in forbidden magic can be qualified to enter.

"Time, alchemy, I am increasingly looking forward to what I can encounter in it."

There was excitement hidden in John's eyes. As a wizard, he not only had the power of Slytherin, but also had an adventurous spirit that was not inferior to that of Gryffindor.

Things that can be easily solved are not adventures for him.

Only this kind of thing, which requires you to concentrate on it wholeheartedly, can excite him.

As the sand in the hourglass gradually runs out, the illusory door gradually solidifies.

The eyes of the statue with a human face and a snake body standing outside moved, as if spying on the visitor.

John felt eyes falling on him. He looked back, his eyes with a human face and a snake body turned back as if nothing happened.

…

Chapter 525 Hello, human-faced snake

The door between reality and fiction.

The hourglass is the key that opens the door, allowing the existence of this door to be traced back to a specific area.

John knew that the person who could leave behind such alchemy tools was definitely powerful.

"A wizard as powerful as Dumbledore."

A few names flashed through his mind. In the history that John knew, there were very few wizards who could do this.

Ambrosius is one, and John's time magic has benefited a lot from Ambrosius.

But this place doesn’t seem to be where Ambrosius appears.

Although he is a Merlin, he will not cross the ocean to settle here.

Furthermore, it is not possible to confirm how many Merlin Johns there are. It is possible that another Merlin is here.

Merlin is like a rule. When magic is born, Merlin will exist.

No matter which one it is, you won’t know until you go in.

The door was completely solid, and John reached out to touch it.

His fingers touched the door but did not go through.

Pushing hard, the door was slowly opened.

A passage behind the door is revealed.

This is a pyramid at a certain point in time.

"Set a time anchor so that people in any period can go back to the exact period."

Seeing how it was done, John thought it was a genius idea.

Step in.

After entering, there is a wall painting depicting many periods.

John stared at the wizard wearing a pharaoh's headdress and holding a snake staff.

Put the snake-eye gem in front of your eyes, and the mural disappears, replaced by a stone door.

There are many snakes intertwined on the stone gate.

John stepped forward and pushed, and was locked.

Pulling out his wand, John cast the unlocking spell.

"Alobomora"

The sound of gears turning came from the stone door. The snakes entwined above untied their bodies and bit their tails.

As the sound stopped, all the snakes turned into ouroboros biting their tails.

This pattern is seen as endless.

The stone door slowly opened, revealing the steep stairs behind it.

Each step of the ladder is extremely narrow, and even the soles of your feet can only step on half of it.

John went down the stairs, never taking off his snake-eye gem.

The soul lantern is hooked on the tail, bringing light in the tunnel.

After walking for nearly an hour, a light appeared in front of his eyes.

John holds the wand in his left hand and puts the snake-eye gem in his right eye with his right hand.

Walking into the light, it is just a long corridor.

Looking up from the space, a snake-like passage appeared above.

It was like a space with no distinction between up and down. John put down the snake-eye gem, and the top of his head became a ceiling.

"Sure enough, this place is full of illusion and reality."

John tapped the current passage with his wand. It was no different from the inside of an ordinary pyramid.

He walked towards the passage, and the roads and doors that were not in front of him just now appeared to the naked eye.

Go to a room with a half-open door and enter. There are many tomb objects belonging to Egyptian culture placed inside.

"If you want to reach the real tomb, I'm afraid you need to constantly switch between reality and reality."

John knew in his heart that the unknown wizard was a very interesting person.

John smiled slightly, "Since you want to play, then I will accompany you."

He found some golden beetles in the tomb, stuffed them into his pocket, and took out the snake-eye gem to look at them.

The original room instantly turned into a dangerous single-plank bridge.

John stood on the log, the soul lamp on his tail lighting up the bottom.

That's a dangerous place full of spikes.

Putting down the snake-eye gem, John walked towards the other door in the room.

Opening the door, the paint turned to dust and gave off a choking smell.

He covered his nose and walked in, putting the snake-eye gem on his eyes.

The scene changed, and he silently remembered the location. After walking over, he put down the snake-eye gem again.

As he continued to repeat his movements, John got closer and closer to the real room.

Due to the switching between illusion and reality, he sometimes almost fell out of the passage.

Putting down the snake-eye gem again, John had arrived at a place with a stone bridge.

At the end of the stone bridge, there is a stone house composed of many columns.

And in the house, countless treasures are placed inside.

John looked at it from a snake-eye perspective, and the bridge turned into a long pipe.

Whether it is the naked eye or the snake's eyes, the road points to the stone house.

John walked forward. The pipe was smooth, as if something was crawling all year round.

This scene was somewhat familiar to John.

The sewers of Hogwarts.

"Are there any large animals raised here?"

John was thoughtful.

Through the pipe, he arrived at the stone house supported by columns.

After entering, the mountains of gold coins exuded an attractive luster.

After seeing it, John did not go up directly, but tapped the ground with his wand.

The super-sensory spell is activated.

The entire scene of the stone house entered John's vision.

His eyes narrowed slightly, this was really a link.

Behind the treasure are countless mechanisms, and the gold coins on them are weights. As long as too many gold coins are lost, the mechanisms will be activated.

Next to the gold coin, there is a sentence.

"Greedy people, you should learn to give up."

But John was certain that few people would choose to listen to the warning from a person who had been dead for who knows how long after seeing such a huge amount of money.

Walking past the mountains of gold coins, John came to the center surrounded by columns.

Picking up the snake-eye gem, he saw a downward passage on the flat floor.

Those columns and many doors also appeared at this time.

The font next to the gold coins changes.

"Choose to face or escape."

John jumped directly to the floor.

His body kept falling.

The body fell onto a mat that seemed to be stacked up by hundreds of layers of quilts.

John looked down and saw layers of huge snake sloughs covering the ground.

This made it extremely difficult for him to walk.

Standing up, he put down the snake-eye gem, and his feet turned into bones again.

All those bones were smashed to pieces. It was probably caused by accidentally letting go of the snake-eye gem on the way down.

Stepping over a skull, a road appeared in front of John.

Inside the Snake Eyes Gem, there is a dead end road on the other side, with a bottomless cliff in the middle.

On the opposite side of the cliff, there is a statue.

John walked on the real road.

Some mechanisms are triggered on the way, as if to say hello to you.

The lack of mechanisms along the way will make people feel relaxed. These sudden mechanisms have created the bones on both sides of the road.

For a wizard, John had his own way of evading traps.
