Chapter 52 Crown
After successfully delivering several cakes, Jiang Li returned to the alchemy room.
She found something very interesting from Professor McGonagall.
A time-turner that can go back in time.
When he was in Tianyuan Continent before, Jiang Li had used formations to go back in time, but he failed every time.
Jiang Li gently fiddled with the pointer on the screen, and moved it back. The sky, which had been dark, became slightly brighter.
She looked down at the time. It was three o'clock in the morning.
The corridor of Hogwarts was very quiet. No figure appeared. The morning light from outside shone into the corridor. Even the portraits in the paintings were sleeping. The only sound was Jiang Li's own footsteps.
Jiang Li raised her hand and looked at the time converter in her hand. Although the light about the law of time on it was very dim, she really saw it this time.
She scooped it up lightly, and the misty and transparent threads passed through her hands, turned into stars and disappeared.
Feeling someone approaching, Jiang Li subconsciously used the illusion spell.
A small figure ran out and stumbled down the corridor.
Jiang Li recognized who this person was.
Lupin Remus, a Gryffindor student.
He doesn't look very well.
"Do you need me to take you to the infirmary?"
Jiang Li lifted the illusion spell and appeared in front of him.
"Teach...Professor."
Lupin was frightened by her. There was a hint of fear on his pale face. For some unknown reason, the corner of his mouth was cracked and blood was oozing out.
Jiang Li touched his face.
She doesn't look scary.
"I'm fine, I don't need to go to the infirmary." Lupin said with forced calmness.
He couldn't be sure whether the professor in front of him had seen his previous changes. Maybe... no, otherwise why would he be so calm.
"Well, since you don't want to go to the medical room, let's discuss why you stayed up late at night and sneaked out for a night stroll."
Jiang Li looked at the frightened Lupin in front of him, smiled slightly and said: "I don't think you love night walks as much as Potter and Black, otherwise you would have followed them when they went on night walks before."
Were Potter and Sirius also discovered during their night outing?
Lupin was extremely flustered, his mind was a mess, he didn't know how to answer the professor, he always felt that his thoughts were seen through.
"Professor, I came out because I was hungry. Please don't deduct points from our college." He lied stubbornly.
Jiang Li knew at a glance that he was lying, but he didn't expose him. He smiled and said, "It's okay not to deduct your school points, but you have to come to my potion room tomorrow and prepare the potion materials for me."
Lupin was slightly stunned as he did not expect Jiang Li to be so easy to talk to.
"Okay, you should go back to bed as well. You won't grow taller if you stay up late at such a young age."
Jiang Li waved his wand, healed Lupin's wounds, smiled at him gently, and walked in another direction.
Lupin stared at her back, touched the corner of his mouth, and the wound was gone.
When passing by Filch's management office, Jiang Li saw that Filch had made a nest for the kitten he picked up yesterday and covered it with a clean scarf. It was obvious that he was taking good care of the kitten.
"Who is there!"
Filch's face suddenly appeared behind the door.
He opened the door and stared at the corridor, trying to see which troublemaker was coming again.
But Jiang Li had already left the moment he opened the door.
She wandered around the castle bored and reached the eighth floor, where there was a tapestry of a silly-looking troll beating up Barnabas with a stick.
When he was about to leave, Jiang Li felt a slight fluctuation, as if there was another layer of space superimposed here.
Unexpectedly, there were such interesting things here. Jiang Li immediately stopped and wanted to find the hidden space.
She wandered around for a while, and suddenly a door appeared in the wall.
It reminds me of a legend at Hogwarts - the Room of Requirement.
Jiang Li's eyes lit up instantly.
She opened the door out of curiosity and went in, seeing a mountain of garbage inside.
Maybe it’s not all garbage, but because there are too many of them, they look like garbage, because before he took a few steps, Jiang Li stepped on an alchemical material.
It's the nerve of a snake. It looks quite old, so I don't know how effective it is.
She began to search for useful things in the ruins.
He didn't know how long he had been searching. When Jiang Li felt his waist was about to fail, he grabbed a crown and was about to leave.
The next second, an evil black energy tried to penetrate into Jiang Li's body through the crown.
It is a very vicious curse.
Jiang Li immediately threw the crown away and was almost caught by the curse.
"Who is so wicked as to throw things here and even curse it?" She couldn't help but complain.
The material of that crown is very good, and Jiang Li is reluctant to give it up.
She wanted to make an alchemical container for the Law of Time, which required powerful alchemical materials that could withstand the power of the law, but she had not found any suitable materials yet.
She kicked away the obstacles, walked closer to the crown, and began to observe the crown carefully.
The crown was very simple in shape, and there was a thick layer of dust on it. Even if a normal person came in and found it, they would not pick up such a thing.
Jiang Li closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his pupils turned purple and the magic power around him surged.
She saw clearly what the black mist attached to the crown was.
It turned out to be a remnant soul!
Do people in this world also have their souls decomposed?
Jiang Li was a little surprised. She thought only cultivators from Tianyuan Continent would do this.
Generally, when a cultivator reaches a desperate situation, he will cut off a remnant soul to leave himself a way out, and then find enough resources to repair the remnant soul and resume his practice.
Although he didn't know whose soul this was, Jiang Li already had a plan.
But first she had to figure out how to remove the curse so as not to ruin her alchemical materials.
Jiang Li left the Room of Requests first.
It was already daybreak outside, and the little wizard was running and playing in the corridor.
Jiang Li saw Snape walking with Lily and immediately waved to him.
"Severus."
Snape saw Jiang Li and walked over immediately.
Lily looked at Jiang Li in confusion, then turned her head and looked back.
I just saw Jiang Li walking away, so how come he appeared in the corridor again? Was she dazzled?
"What do you want from me?"
Snape glanced at Jiang Li's arm while speaking.
The recovery was pretty good, no toxins left.
Jiang Li smiled mysteriously at Snape and said, "I found something good. Come to me after school and I'll take you to see it."
"Did you find anything?" Snape frowned. "You didn't find the Chamber of Secrets."
"Is there still a Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts?"
Jiang Li's eyes lit up instantly. How many treasures were waiting for her to discover in Hogwarts?
"The Chamber of Secrets can only be opened by the descendants of Slytherin. There are terrible monsters inside. You'd better not take the risk. My current strength is not enough to help you solve the problem." Snape looked at Jiang Li seriously.
"Don't worry, I won't take any risks."
Jiang Li made an "OK" gesture to him.
Seeing how quickly she agreed, Snape knew that she didn't take his words to heart at all.
"You'd better keep your word. I'm not kidding you."
Snape wanted to grab Jiang Li like he did Harry, but he could only hold her arms and couldn't lift her at all.
"I see."
Jiang Li held Snape's hand and asked in confusion, "Why are your hands so cold?"
She said as she put a warming charm on Snape.
"I'll make you a pair of gloves. What color do you like?"
"Need not."
Snape retracted his hand, put it behind his back, looked at Jiang Li and said seriously: "Don't do anything dangerous. Even if you want to do it, you should tell me in advance. Maybe I can rush over to clean up Miss Malfoy's body."
"You are such a genius, Severus, but your words of concern are so harsh." Jiang Li said with emotion.
How could a normal person possibly see the kindness hidden in his harsh words?
