Chapter 481 479. The Chamber of Time Hall
This is a small secret room. When Jon walked in, four or five candles lit up on the surrounding walls, illuminating the space.
Not only is the space not big, but all the furnishings in the room are also very simple. There is a bed, a desk, a bookshelf, and a mirror frame that was supposed to be a mirror, but at this moment the mirror is missing.
Jon quickly turned his attention to the small wooden box on the desk, which was the only thing in this room that could store items.
But when Jon picked it up and opened it very easily, he didn't find anything in it.
The wooden box was as empty as this secret room, as if there was nothing there. Jon speeded up the time and searched the entire room, but still found nothing.
This made him frown.
The time was almost at the point that he and Slughorn had agreed on, and the purebloods here were very vigilant, and even a banquet would not delay them for long.
Jon didn't continue to stay in the secret room, he walked out quickly, and then took the egg from the door, and then the whole door began to close.
He stuffed the egg back into the transparent glass column, added water to it at the same time, and finally changed the color of the water with a spell.
It's just that the effect of turning an egg into a bird requires a special transformation catalyst, which of course Jon can't produce with his current conditions, but he can directly use the transformation technique to maintain such a transformation effect for a period of time. The deformation is as smooth as before, and the duration is not long, but at least it can barely cope with it for a while.
And just when Jon had just finished all this, the door of the Hall of Time was suddenly opened from the outside.
Dandy looked at Jon seriously, like an Auror staring at a criminal.
"what are you doing!"
Jon looked as usual.
"Why are you so excited, I just want to take a look here and see if I can fix these time converters."
As he spoke, he pointed to the messy Time-Turners on the glass counter that Jon hadn't had time to put back in place.
Dandy didn't just listen to what Jon said, he quickly looked around the entire time hall, then walked in and checked around here, and kept looking at Jon while looking.
Jon acted innocent.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Do you suspect that I will steal the contents here? Which of these old things can compare with my uncle's wand?"
After confirming that there was no special change in the entire hall of time, Dandy gave Jon a fierce look.
"Get out! Stop wandering here when you have nothing to do!"
Jon didn't leave in despair because of his words, but with great dissatisfaction on his face, he drew out his wand without hesitation and pointed it at Dandy.
"Damn bastard, you think you can treat me unscrupulously if you are included in the category of pure blood by the blood law, don't you! Try saying what you just said to me again?"
Dandy's face also became gloomy, he almost forgot that "Speke" is a young master who came from an old-school pure-blood family, his reprimand just now is nothing to young people who are also new-school, but to the young people who always will This is a great humiliation for them who regard it as a higher-level pure-blooded holy family.
"You have also joined us. I don't want to make things big. This room is very important. You can't just come in privately."
No matter how ugly his face was, Dandy's tone softened. Jon snorted coldly and put down his wand.
"It's more like talking like this. I know you have a mission here, and I don't care about what you want to do, but don't forget the most basic respect and order."
After finishing speaking, Jon turned and left the Hall of Time, leaving only Dandy, who was flushed and angry but unable to vent his anger, to stay where he was.
Staring at the disappearance of Jon's back, Dandy closed the door of the Hall of Time as quickly as possible, then he quickly walked to the door hidden in the wall, observed carefully for a while, and made sure there was nothing unusual Then he looked back.
He glanced at all the ornaments in the time hall again. The bird-shaped ornament was still repeating the process of changing from an egg to a bird and back to an egg. As time went by, there was no change.
In the end, Dandy also left the Hall of Time. After the room was completely plunged into darkness, not long after, the phenomenon of the bird-shaped ornament changing from an egg to a bird suddenly stopped. After that, the egg could no longer maintain such a transformation, but quietly Suspended in the liquid that gradually turned back to transparent.
Late at night, Jon found Slughorn.
"I went into the room, but found nothing inside."
Hearing Jon's words, Slughorn also frowned.
"What did you see in there"
"Bed, desk, bookshelf, chair, one mirrorless frame, and an empty box."
"Are you sure that box doesn't have any hidden compartments?"
"I tried to absorb the magic with the ring, but there was nothing in it, not a magic item at all."
"What about other things?"
Jon shook his head.
"I didn't have time to check other things. The time was too tight. When I came out, I happened to meet that Dandy. I felt that he had already suspected me."
Slughorn paced up and down the office.
"Whether he doubts or not is not a big problem. Regardless of whether we get any results in the end, we will only stay here for two days at most, but the secret room must be checked again. The fact that there is no problem with the box does not mean that there is no problem with other furniture. I I don't think Voldemort went out of his way to hide such a place, and even sent a team of Aurors to look inside, but there was nothing."
Jon nodded too.
"There are still two days until Christmas, which means that after tonight, we actually only have one day."
The office fell into silence, both Jon and Slughorn were thinking about how they would find the thing that Voldemort hid.
"Malfoy and the others have already encountered people from Wu Pingxian!"
Hearing the explosions and shouts in the distance, Amycus was extremely excited.
The people he took hid in an abandoned utility room in the manor, and during this period, many Wupingxian teams had already seen passing by, supporting Moody in the direction.
This was the situation he had conceived when he decided to separate from Lucius at the beginning, and only in this way could they have a greater chance of escaping.
