The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 622 The Backstory of the Alchemy Space

The alchemical space is filled with mirror-like matrix blocks, floating silently.

Moriarty sat on one of the huge matrix blocks, with Ishcher beside him, half of her body leaning against Moriarty.

Ishcher's cool skin pressed against Moriarty's body, and even through the long robe, Moriarty could still feel the soft touch and the amazing curves.

"you…"

Ishcher perched on Moriarty's shoulder, hesitant to speak, her warm breath brushing against Moriarty's neck.

"Get down to business!"

Ishcher's eyes widened slightly. Moriarty was distracted, and she herself was also somewhat infatuated.

During the growth stage of the wood elemental relic, the snake tree became familiar with Moriarty and only treated Moriarty's injuries, so Ishcher had no choice but to stay obediently by Moriarty's side.

Moreover, with a nuclear explosion imminent and the threat of the Immortal Organization outside, the safety of the magical world rests entirely on Moriarty and Ishcher's shoulders.

Their most important thing is to get them out safely.

Moriarty took a deep breath, suppressed the ripples, and said, "Ishcher, I saw you casually slap a button and easily tear through space."

"you mean?"

Ishcher also adjusted her mindset after Moriarty's words and started thinking along with him.

"I want to see what happens after the alchemical space is torn apart," Moriarty said with a determined look in his eyes.

Ishcher shuddered, her voice trembling slightly: "Have you thought this through?"

"Aren't you afraid that after the alchemical space tears apart, your head will explode like a bomb?"

Ishcher nudged Moriarty's cheek with the little horn on his head, the meaning of which was self-evident.

The dragon horns are a sensitive area, and even more so a forbidden area for Ishicher. However, if something goes wrong in the alchemy space, Moriarty will die instantly!

If Moriarty were to die, Ishcher might never be able to leave the alchemical space.

With their lives at stake, Ishcher disregarded the strange sensation emanating from the dragon's horns and hurriedly reminded Moriarty.

"Heh, what's wrong, are you scared?"

Moriarty smiled, a smirk playing on his lips, and patted Ishcher on the shoulder, his arm encircling Daenerys's delicate body.

Before Ishcher could speak, Moriarty continued, "Actually, there's no need to make this attempt. Once we've recovered, we can still suppress the remaining half of the nuclear explosion."

"But I don't want to wait anymore, and we don't have time to wait."

"The alchemy matrix can be continuously upgraded and changed at will, but its extent depends on the master's ability and mindset."

"That's what I thought at first, until just now—your words reminded me that perhaps the next upgrade of the Alchemy Matrix not only requires my help, but also the help of others."

Moriarty tightened his grip on Ishicher, and Ishicher's forehead rested against Moriarty's chin.

Ishcher understood what Moriarty meant; she was the one who helped Moriarty improve his Alchemy Matrix.

"Besides you, no one around me can tear space," Moriarty said solemnly. "You have the ability to control the degree of tearing, and I have the ability to alter the alchemical matrix. Faced with this nuclear catastrophe, we are the best partners."

A moment of silence.

Ishcher remained silent for a long time; the only sound in the quiet space was their steady breathing.

After a moment, Ishcher chuckled softly, "I've fooled a few girls with that!"

"Hey, hey..." Moriarty smiled helplessly, and Ishcher said calmly, "I promise you."

"But you absolutely mustn't try to be tough. Be ready to give me directions anytime, understand?"

Immediately afterward, Ishcher's tone became serious, and Moriarty nodded with a smile.

Without hesitation, Ishcher used his arms, which had been stiffened by the explosion, to slash Moriarty's back in a chop-like motion.

A faint slit of light appeared in the space.

Moriarty didn't even blink. "Continue."

In fact, Moriarty was already in pain at this moment, as if someone had used a soul-stealing curse on him.

Ishcher increased the lightning elemental magic, and the gap gradually widened, forming a crack.

"Ugh—hiss." Moriarty let out a short cry.

Ishcher immediately stopped channeling magic and looked at Moriarty with concern: "Shall we continue?"

"continue."

Moriarty frowned as he looked at the crack, where a sliver of light shone through, bringing a touch of brilliance to the hazy alchemy space.

What's inside?

Curiosity overcame the pain and discomfort, and Moriarty looked at Ishcher, who understood and his gaze turned cold.

Ishcher raised his hand and slashed, the crack widening with a "whoosh." Moriarty gritted his teeth and persevered, while simultaneously drawing upon his alchemical knowledge to continuously refine the alchemical matrix.

"Blue sky, white clouds..."

Ishcher said in a daze that she saw a blue sky and white clouds through the light shining through the crack!

"Your alchemy space is shattered, and there's a blue sky and white clouds behind you?" Ishcher found it unbelievable. She had seen scenery from all over the world, but she had never seen such a beautiful view.

"I don't know," Moriarty said, puzzled. The alchemical space was becoming increasingly mysterious.

"Let's stabilize this crack first, compress it a bit." Moriarty began massaging his temples.

If this were during a battle, the alchemy space would have already been attacked, and Moriarty would naturally not be in good condition.

However, the scenery that Ishcher saw also indicated that there was a great secret behind the alchemical space!

Moriarty was extremely interested. Ishcher took Moriarty's hands and began to massage them. "I've adjusted the lightning element magic to a level you can tolerate. The adjustment of the proportions is up to you."

"Of course." The alchemy matrix was activated, and countless formulas flashed through Moriarty's eyes, calculating the optimal ratio of magic power between Moriarty and Ishcher. Then, Moriarty stabilized the alchemy space according to the calculated magic power.

Eventually, the crack stabilized into a small doorway that could only allow one person to pass through, standing before Moriarty and Ischl.

"I'll go in first."

As if knowing what Moriarty was about to do, Ishcher spoke first, her eyes flashing with determination and concern.

Moriarty nodded slightly, watching Ishicher walk away step by step until her figure disappeared through the doorway. His heart skipped a beat for a second; for a moment, he was truly afraid that something might happen to Ishicher.

But no, instead came Ishcher's excited shout: "Come quick! Where is this? Wow..."

Her voice was full of surprise; Ishcher was like an innocent little girl. Moriarty couldn't help but wonder where Ishcher could return to her childlike innocence.

He went inside, and what greeted his eyes was indeed a magnificent landscape, like a fairyland from a fairy tale.

"Hmm, why do I have this feeling of déjà vu?"

Moriarty surveyed his surroundings: meadows stretching across the hillsides, dense oak forests reaching into the clouds, a harmonious blue sky and white clouds...

What's even more peculiar is that, despite the warm spring-like weather, snow-capped mountains are scattered in the distance.

Snow-capped mountains?

Moriarty trembled as if he had been electrocuted, and he saw a snow-capped mountain that looked like a black dragon!

"Black Dragon Snow Mountain, that's Merlin's spell!"

"This is Avalon!"

Moriarty pointed at the snow-capped mountain in disbelief, his back already covered in cold sweat.

Because he remembered Merlin, who had transformed into a black dragon, breaking free and eventually disappearing from the Black Dragon Snow Mountain.

In other words, this is the old Avalon!

Moriarty's breath hitched. He thought of many things, but he became even more puzzled.

"This is the past, and we cannot interfere with the past."

"If we don't go back, our existence will affect reality."

"Quickly, Ishcher, take me back."

Moriarty gasped for breath, because it was terrifying—he and Ishcher had actually traveled through time!

Ishcher knew Moriarty wasn't in good condition, so she picked him up and carried him back to the alchemy space.
