The letters on the light screen slowly reshaped and reorganized, and then a question was displayed: "Where does time begin?"

This topic is really unusual for Allen, because strictly speaking, time itself does not actually exist. It is a relatively abstract concept, which is a manifestation of the continuity and sequence of material movement and change. Time is a parameter defined by humans to describe the process of material movement or the occurrence of events. Time is determined by the law of material periodic changes that are not affected by the outside world. For example, the moon's period around the earth, the earth's period around the sun, the earth's rotation period, the atomic oscillation period, etc. Einstein said that time and space are an illusion of human cognition.

But obviously this question does not require Allen to explain it from a physical perspective, but also to think of a direction that can convince the other party from a philosophical perspective.

After collecting his thoughts, Allen, who had been tempered by the door knocker in the Ravenclaw common room for half a semester, suddenly had an idea: "The time now ended just now, and the time in the future begins now."

I have to say that this is just a flattering statement, but the bronze door opened in response to the sound, which shows that the other party has always agreed with this type of answer.

Behind the door, the fog filled the air, and Allen seemed to see a piece of nothingness. He stepped into this piece of nothingness, and soon the fog changed, which made him stand on the surface of the moon. On a vast plain formed by a huge impact crater filled with basalt lava flows erupted by dark volcanoes, this area without a drop of water is called the 'Moon Mare' and looks back at the huge blue planet next to it, and next to the Earth There are many stars that do not belong there, floating behind it.

Allen, who was already feeling dizzy, couldn't help but be attracted by its beauty and mystery. He carefully observed the surrounding environment for a long time and found no danger. He began to try to move on his own, and bent down to try to touch the lunar surface under his feet, but he just Stretching out his arms, the moon flew away from his feet like a frightened little beast, and disappeared into the mist again.

Instantly, all the fog swirled around Allen. Allen seemed to be at the center of a tornado, with the outer layer turbulent and the center calm. Knowing that this was a scene caused by illusion magic, Allen remained calm and watched its changes. As it rotated, the outer layer of fog drifted away, and gradually the inner layer of fog also disappeared layer by layer. What appeared before Allen's eyes was the vast expanse. The stars seemed to have magnified the ceiling of the common room countless times.

An ethereal and serious female voice occupied the space: "Only a wizard with extraordinary wisdom can complete this astronomical puzzle. Please use the angle of observation you just observed on the moon to find the stars you just saw in the universe in front of you. Position, control them and restore them to the position where they were just now. The time limit is ten minutes. If you pass, you can go to the next level. If you fail, you will be teleported out after a powerful forgetting spell is cast on you to make you forget everything."

Wisdom is a high-level comprehensive ability, including perception, knowledge, memory, understanding, decision-making and other abilities. This level examines the ability of memory, observation and decision-making. Allen has indeed stabilized his photographic memory with the help of the University Master System, but this ability does not include graphics! In this kind of endless stars that are zoomed in from a bird's-eye view, in just ten minutes, trying to identify and successfully find them with just the naked eye is an almost impossible task for Allen now. You know , he has not developed the habit of drinking a vegetable protein drink made from six walnut juices every day.

At this moment, Allen suddenly thought of another item in his storage space. At this moment, he was extremely grateful for his good luck. System storage space quickly came to Allen's mind. Allen chose a simple parchment tied with a red rope. The red rope fell off automatically, and the parchment slowly unfolded, with the words: "Aura of Academic Master."

The function is marked below the parchment: before use, clearly state the time of use in advance. Within the time range shrouded by the halo, the host can obtain a stronger good luck effect and magic amplification effect than the elixir, and temporarily obtain an ancient name. The wisdom of a powerful wizard and the accumulated knowledge of three magical libraries.

There is no doubt that Allen immediately chose "use the halo for three minutes." Allen's brain was instantly filled with the knowledge stored in it, and he experienced a brief sting. After the dizzy Allen regained consciousness, he once again felt the wonderful illusion of omniscience and omnipotence under control.

The extra knowledge in his mind put these stars under control. He searched the endless starry sky and constantly eliminated interfering stars. The impression of the target stars in Allen's mind is extremely clear. Compared with these stars, Allen can quickly capture every subtle difference. On the contrary, it was a pity that Allen moved these stars to the correct position in more than two minutes, and the extra remaining time could only be wasted like this.

Although the cold female voice did not appear again, the spinning and broken starry sky in front of him showed that he had passed the level.

"This level of difficulty test is obviously not for young wizards... No, it should be said that even adult wizards who are proficient in astrology cannot easily pass it. Why would Ravenclaw set up such a difficult level to test others? If you don't happen to have the halo of being a top student to pass, there is definitely no chance of success, and if an overly powerful forgetting spell is cast, it may cause irreversible magical damage to the brain. The sequelae of amnesia can only be considered very mild. side effects."

But before Allen could think about it, the stars in the universe in this space broke into countless pieces, spinning and disappearing.

The fragments in front of him began to slowly deform again, transforming into a mage tower with a strong medieval fantasy style. The door of the tower opened silently in front of Allen. He walked in obediently, and a thin screen of light quietly The ground is suspended in the air.

There is nothing in the light curtain at this moment. Through the light curtain, you can see the magnificent decoration behind it. This tower is extremely artistic, decorated in dark blue and bronze. The interior has exquisite ancient-style furniture and luxurious carpets. Most of them seem to be exquisite enough to be called works of art.

The ceiling was decorated with silver-blue fire dragon scales. Allen judged that they seemed to come from the Swedish Brachysaurus. The round curved crystal chandelier formed a staircase spiral in the air. The tops of the surrounding walls were painted with the events recorded on the tapestry just now. However, the technique seems to have advanced for hundreds of years, which makes Allen feel even weirder. You must know that although the specific incident cannot be clarified, according to the records of books related to the history of magic, it is clear that Rowena Ravenclaw Lady Law died in the eleventh century.

But before Allen had time to think about it, the light screen in front of him was filled with blue light. The star map of the universe that had just been shattered into fragments was reunited on the light screen. A model exactly like the tower he was in appeared on the lower right side of the light screen. Countless silver lines crisscrossed the star map.

It's the same female voice: "Stretch out your magic wand, cast the 'move' spell, and complete the space shuttle game. Once the game is completed, you will pass the level. Otherwise, you will be imprisoned inside the tower forever."
