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 alchemical tools was definitely powerful.
"A wizard as powerful as Dumbledore."
Several names flashed through his mind. In the history that John knew, there were very few wizards who could do this.
Ambrosius was one, and John's time magic benefited greatly from Ambrosius.
But this place does not seem to be where Ambrosius appears.
Even though he is a Merlin, he will not cross the ocean to settle here.
Furthermore, the specific number of Merlin Johns cannot be confirmed, and 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 he didn't go through.
Pushing hard, the door was slowly opened.
Revealing a passage behind the door.
This is a pyramid at a 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 inside.
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.
Place 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 lock-picking spell.
"Aloboora"
There was the sound of gears turning at the stone gate, and the snakes entwined above untied themselves and bit their tails.
As the sound stops, all the snakes turn into ouroboros biting their tails.
This pattern is seen as endless without end.
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, light appeared in front of his eyes.
John held the wand in his left hand and placed the snake-eye gem in his right eye with his right hand.
Walking into the light, there 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 all 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 where the danger lies, full of spikes.
Putting the snake-eye gem down, John walked towards the other door in the room.
When I opened the door, the paint turned to dust and gave off a choking smell.
He held his nose and walked in, placing 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 is a stone house composed of many columns.
In the house, countless treasures were placed inside.
John is watching from a snake-eye perspective, and the bridge turns into a long pipe.
Whether it is the naked eye or the snake's eye, 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.
Hogwarts sewers.
"Are there any large animals raised here?"
John mused.
Through the pipe, he reached the stone house supported by columns.
After entering, the mountains of gold coins exuded an attractive luster.
After seeing it, John didn't go up directly, but tapped the ground with his wand.
The super-sensible spell is activated.
The entire stone house scene 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 mechanism 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 of a person who had been dead for who knows how long after seeing such a huge amount of money.
After 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.
On those columns, many doors also appeared at this time.
The font next to the gold coins changes.
"Choose to face it or escape it."
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, probably caused by accidentally letting go of the snake-eye gem on the way down.
Stepping over a skull, a path appeared before John's eyes.
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 the real path.
I trigger some mechanisms on the way, as if I want to say hello to you.
The lack of mechanisms along the way will make people relax. These sudden mechanisms have created the bones on both sides of the road.
For a wizard, John had his own way of evading traps.
As long as all the mechanisms are destroyed, it is equivalent to having no mechanisms.
The wand dragged the white light of lightning, and with a flick of John's hand, all the mechanisms were triggered.
The white light shatters all mechanisms and the road becomes safe.
He walked under the guillotine mechanism with only the ax handle left, and reached the other side of the cliff.
Pick up the snake-eye gem. The statue in front of you is similar to the human-faced snake outside the pyramid.
The human face of the statue is an old man with a long beard and a purple hat.
The wrinkles on the face are all carved into
on the face of the statue.
This is an upright human-faced snake. Different from the '8' figure outside, the human-faced snake looks like a straight magic wand, standing in front of it.
Behind the statue is a huge hourglass.
But just like the one in John's hand, this huge hourglass was in dilapidated condition, and the sands of time on it had long since disappeared.
After studying the giant hourglass for a while, John discovered something else.
It was a huge snake-like white bone.
Its body has disappeared, but judging from the situation, this snake should have been guarding here.
It's just that too much time has passed and the snake's lifespan has been exhausted and it has turned into a white skeleton.
"Looking at its bones, it seems to be a basilisk."
John rubbed his chin and circled the bones.
A basilisk of this size would probably live longer than the one at Hogwarts.
But even the basilisk has died of old age. How many years ago did the owner of this place exist?
"As far as I know, apart from Salazar Slytherin, there is only one other wizard who keeps the basilisk."
John murmured to himself, looking up at the snake with a human face.
On the list of the top ten dark wizards in the world, a guy who is as evil as Extis.
It can even be said that he is more evil than Extis.
Because he created a magic that everyone thought was extremely evil.
Horcrux.
Pure killing, splitting souls apart, as a way to achieve immortality.
In John's opinion, that wizard was an enhanced version of Voldemort.
Even someone as powerful as Voldemort needs to pick up his wits so that he can survive.
At the same time, it is also the oldest dark wizard.
A man who used toads to hatch eggs and create a basilisk.
The first person to refine Horcruxes, and until John's time, no one was sure of his death.
He created many evil curses that still affect the wizarding world today.
This is not an Egyptian pyramid.
It belonged to an ancient Greek wizard.
The person who can be ranked first among the top ten dark wizards in the world.
The active period ranked earlier than the Big Four of Hogwarts and the three brothers.
"Despicable Herbo." John looked at the statue and said the name slowly.
If the dastardly Herbo Horcrux had not been destroyed, he would have almost achieved immortality.
