Hogwarts Ordnance Manual

[Time converter: a magic prop that can adjust an individual's position in the time stream. Each use consumes 0.7 carats of sand of time. ]

[Taboos for use are as follows: 1. Contact with oneself in other time streams will trigger unstable time turbulence, resulting in unforeseen consequences; 2. Events that have become reality cannot be changed; 3. Travel to the future is prohibited. ]

Dudley roughly understood the relevant rules, but the system description did not clearly indicate how to use this thing!

He suddenly thought of the plot in the original novel. Dumbledore told Hermione that as long as he turned three times, he could go back to three hours ago. According to this calculation, if he wanted to go back to help his past self, he would have to go back at least one hour. Just before.

"Turn it twice, it's safer..." Dudley muttered, holding one end of the small hourglass with one hand and trying to twist it gently. The counterclockwise direction seemed to be locked. It should be the so-called "forbidden to go to the future" ", and it twisted twice easily in the clockwise direction.

The feeling of time travel was more magical than space teleportation. Dudley felt as if his feet were floating in the air, and his body was flying backwards rapidly. The streets and things around him turned into blurry colored squares, and then melted like butter. Turns into a wonderful radiant change in the palette.

Dudley felt his eardrums swell, and when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't make any sound at all. He didn't know how long it lasted, until he felt his own weight again and his feet touched the solid ground.

The blurry color blocks in front of Dudley's eyes slowly turned into clear scenery. He was still in the alley of Hogsmeade, but the sky suddenly got a lot brighter. He looked up and saw that the setting sun was gradually setting towards the mountains and rivers in the distance. Shen, he stretched his head and looked towards the street. The villagers of Hogsmeade were hurriedly walking towards the houses, and the shops were closing their doors. It seemed that there would be man-eating monsters outside as soon as it got dark.

"This, this, this doesn't seem to be two hours ago..." Dudley looked confused and looked down at the small hourglass in his hand.

"Wtf!" He couldn't help but curse, because the golden fine sand in the small hourglass was nearly one third less visible to the naked eye.Not to mention how he explained it to Hermione, he didn't know when this little thing sent him. It couldn't be a few years ago, that would be a big deal.

Just as he was about to walk out of the alley, a figure suddenly emerged from the Bee Duke Candy Shop not far away, and he quickly shrank back.

"It's okay, it's okay..." He patted his heart. He had just taken a quick glance and saw that the figure turned into "Li Mu". Looking at his back heading towards the Bounty Association, he Guessing the current time, it should be two days ago when he went to pick up the package sent by Mundungus.

He had some understanding of the time-turner clause about "not being able to contact selves in other timelines". He could see his past self, but he couldn't let his past self recognize his present self. This was different from the original work. The description is quite apt.

Because it was quite slow to search for his package in the magic pool, he estimated that he would stay in the Bounty Association for more than an hour, so he went around to the Pig's Head Bar. He needed to regain some strength as quickly as possible and eat a steak and butterbeer. Of course the best choice.

Perhaps it was Ron who infected it with Harry, and Harry in turn infected it with himself. He has a special liking for this pig's head bar special formula and buttery soda water. It is refreshing, refreshing, cold and delicious, and makes people drink it. Feel good.

There were only a few people in the bar. The tall and thin shop owner Aberforth didn't seem to be in the shop. There was a sign closing at 18:30 at the door. If it weren't for the fact that the chef was also a wizard and could serve dishes at an alarming speed, he might have to Customers were turned away.

As soon as the waiter brought the fragrant steak to his table, he saw a middle-aged man in a black robe pushing open the door and walking in.

This man had a very iconic hooked nose and cold eyes. Using Dudley's eyesight, he could tell he was not a good person at first glance.

Most of the guests in the bar glanced at the man, but he didn't feel Dudley's gaze in particular. Instead, he glanced at the bartender and waiter coldly, and sat down by the window in the living room, away from the other guests.

After a while, the man's partner arrived. He was wearing the same dirty black robe and had a thin figure. He covered half of his face with a hood, but you could still see the weird tattoo on his forehead.The tattooed man walked straight to the hook-nosed table and sat down. The two lowered their heads and seemed to be talking about something.

Dudley was immediately interested. Even though it was a quick glance, he still recognized the tattoo. This guy had appeared at the Uncensored Conference in Hercilis.

"Why are the people from the Church of Night Shadow coming to Hogsmeade..." Dudley muttered, stuffing the steaming steak into his mouth in a few mouthfuls, not caring about taking a few sips of butterbeer, and remained calm. He walked towards the two suspicious guys.

Everyone has their own alert distance. Once someone approaches them, they will immediately become vigilant. There are so few people in the store, so of course Dudley can't openly eavesdrop, but he has a clever trick.

I saw him wandering not far away from the two people. As soon as he caught the eye of Hook Nose, he activated the "aura concealment" to clear the other person's attention. Suddenly, Hook Nose felt slightly in a trance, as if Dudley had changed. It became an inconspicuous chair, and his eyes swept over it naturally, and then returned to the tattooed man.

Dudley, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, directly opened a corner of the portrait of "Arianna" on the side and got into the secret passage at the back.

This dark secret passage leads to the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts, but it seems that the opening hours of the room have not yet reached, and the passage is blocked by a stone wall not far below.Dudley didn't want to go back to Hogwarts, he just wanted to stick to the thin portrait and listen to what the two guys from the Church of Night Shadow were plotting.

The hook-nosed voice was low and slightly hoarse: "I don't want to hear any more explanations. The old guy Motuna and his weird men had better be more aware of the current situation..."

The tattooed man's voice sounded like his nose was stuffy. He also lowered his voice and said: "They have been under a lot of pressure recently. You know, he doesn't want to offend anyone..."

The tattooed man paused and continued: "He said his promise remains unchanged. As long as the quantity requested over there is collected, he will give you what the higher-up wants."

The hook-nosed voice said in an unkind tone: "So the thing is already in his hands?"

The tattooed man said: "I think so, he seems to want to negotiate some conditions... After all, the young master is still in their hands..."

The hooked nose snorted coldly: "If they want to use Hesilis' life to threaten the church... I'm afraid they have made a wrong calculation... Bishop Marbles has already made it clear that if they don't obey, it's better to kill them. A group of people are just hanging on. The bastards... If it weren't for the protection of the church, they would have been eradicated by the Templars long ago..."

The tattooed man was silenced for a long time by the hook-nosed words, and said: "I heard that Motu has a lot of private collections... This place is so close to Hogwarts, he should have got a lot of good things..."

The hook-nosed man seemed to be in a good mood, and he smiled sinisterly and said: "The situation is so complicated now, no one can blame us..."

After saying that, they seemed to be unable to wait for the waiter to serve their food, so they just patted their butts and left.

Dudley guessed that the Night Shadow Church and Mr. Motu and other faceless men had long been connected, but the faceless men had always been relatively weak. It seemed that after rescuing Hesiris from his own hands, they also The Faceless Man got something that the Church of Night Shadow wanted very much, and the Faceless Man wanted to take the opportunity to make a comeback.

The Night Shadow Church didn't take them seriously at all. Dudley thought that when he rushed back to the Bounty Association that day, Mr. Motu and several of his men had died tragically. It should be the two Night Shadow believers who did it. It seemed like this was some kind of vampire. The covenant itself is not that strong either.

He also got two new pieces of information. The first was Bishop Marbles of the Night Shadow Church, and the second was that the Faceless Men seemed to have an old enemy called the Templars.Dudley kept it in mind, maybe he would meet him in the future.

He carefully pushed away the portrait and got out. He had a full stomach and plenty of time. How could he be willing to miss such a rare good show as the villain's infighting?
