Daily News: The Prophet of Hogwarts

Chapter 346 One person goes to the future, one person goes to the past

"The time I experienced was without daily intelligence guidance, and without magic metal technology," the white-robed diviner said calmly. "Therefore, when wizards were forced to appear before the world, we had no decisive power, only a few powerful wizards."

At that time, as you know, the productivity of ordinary people meant they lived much better lives than the lower-class wizards. This forced the wizarding world to submit to the world of ordinary people. For other wizards, being controlled by ordinary people and national governments might not have mattered.

But for people like you and me, we can be poor, we can be weak, but we absolutely cannot be without sovereignty.

Ryan nodded, the student in his robes. As the same person, he would naturally come to this conclusion if he put himself in that situation.

So he said, "So you're pinning your hopes on ancient legacies and time-converters. And you just happened to unearth this place from ancient documents, along with a time-converter?"

The white-robed diviner sighed and nodded: "So, when I arrived here, I created a Horcrux. By chance, a series of unexpected events caused my soul vessel, which is the composition of my body, to split off—actually, it was the fine sand in the Time Converter."

"A time converter—can this thing be used as a Horcrux?"

As the student robes were carefully observed, Ryan noticed that the golden trim on the divination robes of the diviner actually corresponded to the rows of unfathomable pseudo-runic characters on the hourglass of the time converter, and the frames on both sides were composed of abstract hourglass shapes arranged and combined.

"It's all just a coincidence," said Ryan, the white-robed diviner. He raised his hand, and an hourglass appeared in his palm. He glanced at it; the hourglass was about to reach zero.

"Why."

He sighed, "Our time together is almost over. We each have our own paths to walk. When we finish our respective stories and the hourglass resets, that will be the closing of the time loop, when we are truly anchored in the present moment. That will be the time when we truly return."

"If that's the case, then what should I do?" Ryan asked in his student robes. The senses coming from his soul told him that all of this was real. It involved the unsolved mystery of the time converter, so nothing was surprising.

"You don't need to do anything. Some time ago, I went to various Ministries of Magic and collected all of Jinping's time converters. When our meeting ends and the time that has been intersecting between us returns to zero, these converters will sense the disorder and activate."

The white-robed diviner Ryan said, "At that time, you were me, and I was you. You went to the past, and I went to the next second, until we met again here. In the next second, you will be waiting for me here."

"So, I'll be playing the role you've been playing for the past two years?"

"Yes, it's about putting pressure on yourself, on the witch world and the whole world, and sending key technologies." The white-robed diviner nodded: "You and I can communicate through the gap in our souls, but it's best not to meet. I'm just guessing."

After all, there are only a handful of people who create Horcruxes. And we're the only ones using the Time Converter as a Horcrux; nobody knows what will happen next.

"Are you sure everything's okay?" A sense of guilt, uncertainty, and lack of confidence came from the gap in his soul. This feeling made Ryan completely lose his composure. Who would use themselves as a test subject for the first time in a magical experiment?

"It should be fine, don't worry. If something happens to you, I'm doomed too. We're in the same boat." The white-robed diviner's eyes darted around, his tone hesitant.

Ryan was so angry at that expression that he wanted to curse himself.

But just as the white-robed diviner said, the time had come, and the period of convergence between the two sides had passed.

The entire room was bathed in golden light, the glow produced by the simultaneous activation of countless time converters.

Then, Ryan felt the sensation of using the time converter, like something hooking him and pulling him back forcefully.

But this time, unlike before when using the time converter to deduce the draft, the force was particularly strong.

Not only was it powerful, but it also lasted an exceptionally long time; he even thought for a moment that the feeling of being pulled backward would never end.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, he broke free from the force. Under the combined effects of inertia and his own mind, he staggered back a few steps and then sat down on the ground with a thud.

In the distance is an orphanage.

A young boy sat at the entrance of the orphanage, seemingly contemplating how to survive in a foreign land.

Ryan stood atop the mountain, gazing into the distance, sensing his connection with himself. Seeing the young boy's worried face, he chuckled inwardly, "Boy, you've been hooked!"

At this moment, the Daily Intelligence System was born.

Seeing his future self getting excited, dancing and rushing out of the orphanage to verify information and seize wealth, Ryan stood by and watched for a long time before going to do what he had to do.

This time, he went to the spaceship from thousands of years ago with ease.

He met Helbo, who had been trapped in the spaceship for thousands of years, for the first time.

Both of them were quite excited. Helbo was excited because after all these years, someone had finally come to talk to him, and Ryan was excited because he was finally able to learn about advanced technology.

I didn't have enough time to talk to myself before, and there were many things I couldn't say.

He now realizes that Helbo actually created a second Horcrux—he turned the ship's propulsion system into his own Horcrux.

Although Helbo himself realized that the power unit contained powerful energy that he could not understand, he wanted to convert this energy into his own Horcruxes and power.

In reality, the spaceship's propulsion system had become his body.

In other words, this ship now possesses the legendary machine spirit. If the machine spirit is greatly displeased, even controlling it through the control panel will not provide power.

If the machine is in high spirits, even if the operator's skills are lacking, the power delivery will still be adequate.

Ryan: Mr. Helbo is a great benefactor who cares about the fate of all mankind. He paid a huge price to steal alien technology and deserves everyone's respect. He has great value in uniting the people.

It can only be said that Helbo's move laid the foundation for Ryan's decision to befriend him. Even better, their views on the development of wizardry actually aligned to some extent.

The old-school aristocratic wizards of ancient Greece did not believe that just because there were few wizards, they should be subordinate to the world of ordinary people.

He said, "If having more people is useful, then what's the point of magic?"

A larger population can only promote the development of magic and technology, but it doesn't mean that a larger population guarantees victory.

Ryan strongly agreed: "Two years later, a small group of people believed that wizards, a small group, should be subject to regulation, which I find very hard to understand."

At least in my view, wizards are people who explore and utilize laws, possessing power. Because they possess power, we ourselves are a powerful group. The so-called will of a nation and regime is essentially the most powerful collection of violence within a region.

People with similar interests will naturally study together.

With the help of the spaceship's computing power, Ryan calculated all sorts of results, such as werewolf potions and magic gold.

These findings are essentially conclusions that the human brain, and even future supercomputers, cannot accurately calculate, yet they were deciphered one by one on this spaceship from four thousand years ago.
