A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts - Chapter 994

Randolph paused and looked at Fitz thoughtfully, “No wonder you are so anxious. I have experienced the pain of love, and I understand your mood very well.

But I’m sorry, I’m afraid I can’t help you. “

“No, you can help. You are the only one who can help us.” Fitz said urgently, “Tell us everything you know about the boulder.”

“I don’t know at all.” Randolph shrugged, “I don’t want to say this, but based on my experience, your girlfriend is probably…

The odds are stacked against you, I mean it’s better not to have your hopes up. “

“But the actual situation is that she is still alive.” Aaron grinned sheepishly, “And I gave him some hope.”

“What?”

“You should know that I know a little about divination, and I got some clues.” Aaron winked at Fitz, “Please show Professor Randolph the revelation of fate.”

Fitz reacted immediately and took out the oil painting Aaron painted from his bag, “Do you know where this place is?”

Randolph took the oil painting and said in surprise as he looked at it: “I have to admit that you are a real fortune teller.

Even in Asgard, the only one with such accurate divination ability is the God King Odin. “

“He is our special advisor to SHIELD.” Coulson couldn’t help but show off.

“Put it down! If I didn’t need an official identity, I would never have anything to do with SHIELD.”

Randolph smiled nonchalantly and put the oil painting in front of the light, “It can be seen that she is wandering on a very desolate planet.

Unfortunately, I don’t know much about this planet.

What is certain is that its location is very remote, so remote that no one in the entire universe will take a second look there.

This reminds me of the punishment of exiled prisoners in higher civilizations. The prisoners will fend for themselves there, desperate to survive, and then even more desperate to wait for death. “

“That’s why we need your help. Simmons has been missing for half a month. If we delay it any longer, she won’t be able to hold on.”

“Okay! You won’t give me any other choice anyway.” Randolph approached the cell door. “First, you have to get me out, and then, let me see the stone with my own eyes.”

“It should.”

Randolph nodded slightly, and then used both hands to pull down the cell door.

To the Asgardian, this prison door was useless. He did not leave because he simply did not want to escape.

When the alarm sounded, Randolph leaned the cell door against the wall and quickly picked up the coat on the bed.

Two prison guards hurried over and saw Randolph walking out of the cell.

He pointed at Coulson very naturally, “He did it.”

“Ha!” Colson smiled silently. He couldn’t criticize Randolph, so he could only explain to the prison guard awkwardly and expressed his willingness to bear the cost of repairing the cell.

…

The Airbus took off again and stopped at a SHIELD base.

Colson and others came to an empty warehouse. A black boulder was locked in a glass cabinet. There were many square holes on the surface of the boulder.

Randolph stepped forward and walked around the glass cabinet a few times, carefully observing the black boulder inside.

“I hate to disappoint you, but it looks like an ordinary…”

Before he finished speaking, the boulder liquefied instantly and turned into a black liquid. However, the glass cabinet was sealed and the liquid did not flow out.

In less than two seconds, the black liquid shrank back again and returned to the form of stone.

Randolph blinked and turned to look at Colson, “How often does it change like this?”

“Random.” Fitz said a little disappointed.

“No, it won’t. It might look random, but it’s…it’s obvious what caused it.”

“I compared the tides, solar activity, rotation…”

“Wait a minute.” Aaron suddenly thought of something, pasted the oil painting on the glass cabinet, pointed at the wasteland at Simmons’ feet and said: “No one tells you about the tides, solar activity, and rotation of this planet.

By the way, this planet may not even have a sun. “

“Yes, the pattern may be based on this unknown planet, so you can’t find its changing pattern.” Randolph agreed, “I don’t know why you are looking for me. I have never studied gravitational lenses or zero points. Energy fields, and quantum harmonic oscillation theory.

Like I said before, I don’t know anything about this stone. “

“This is the guidance of fate. You are the only one who is friendly to us and knows the clues about this stone.” Aaron said in a magic tone, “Think carefully, have you heard anything about the portal in these years?” story.”

“This…” Randolph hesitated for a while, then said tangledly: “I have indeed investigated many rumors about wormholes, but none of them are true.”

Snap!

Aaron snapped his fingers, “The guidance of fate may lie in these rumors.”

“None of it is true, I repeat.”

“Professor Randolph, your investigation is at least hundreds of years old now. Who can tell what happened in these hundreds of years!”

“I admit that what you said makes sense, but there is only one stone here, a stone I have never seen before.”

“You mean you need other clues?”

“It’s obvious.”

“Yes, there are clues.” Fitz said immediately, and then hurried out of the warehouse.

Randolph curled his lips and said, “It can be seen that he spent a lot of effort.”

“We all almost gave up, but he didn’t.” Colson said with emotion, “One of the two best scientific researchers in my team is in another world, and the other spends a lot of time on this stone. On the scene, he even walked into the glass cabinet and wanted to be swallowed by the boulder.

If this continues, he will definitely collapse. “

“True love, absolutely true love.” Randolph raised his eyebrows in surprise, “It’s really strange!”

“Colson, let me give you a little suggestion.

If you can bring people back, it’s best to destroy this portal as soon as possible and don’t let the people on the opposite side pass through. “

“In order for me to have a good dream at night, I will do the same.” Colson seemed to have thought of something, and there was a hint of bitterness in the corner of his mouth, “The last person who ran out of the portal was Asgard. The second prince, he stabbed me in the chest.”

“I’m not familiar with His Highness Loki, I don’t know him.” Randolph said with a forced smile.

At this time, Fitz ran all the way back, gasping and patted a piece of parchment on Randolph’s hand, “I asked SHIELD’s intelligence department to find it. It’s the only clue so far.”

Aaron glanced at the parchment, “This seems to be Hebrew, meaning ‘death’.”

“Ouch!” Randolph’s pupils shrank slightly, “I seem to have seen this word before.”

“Have you seen it?” Fitz asked immediately.

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: ‘thumbs-feed-01’, container: ‘taboola-below-article-feed’, placement: ‘Below Article Feed’, target_type: ‘mix’ });

“I need to confirm, what else do you know Mr. Fitz?”

“The Stone of Korn changed hands several times, first among Germanic tribes, to France during the Hundred Years’ War, but before the Napoleonic era it was moved again.

Before the clue was cut off, it was…”

“England,” interposed Randolph.

“Yes, how did you know?”

“Because I saw this word carved on the wall of a castle in Gloucestershire, England, in 1853,” Randolph said. “Can I say this when I get on the plane?”

“Then let’s get on the plane!” Colson laughed.

…

A few hours later, the plane stopped in front of a castle.

The castle seemed abandoned for a long time, with dust and fallen leaves everywhere, and cobwebs in the corners.

Randolph led the way with a flashlight, and revisiting his old place made him feel a little happier, “I attended a masquerade here.

Of course that was just a cover-up, I heard rumors about interstellar travel, which turned out to be bullshit, but the dance was pretty good. “

“Where’s the engraving?” Coulson asked.

“Yes, yes, that’s right.” Randolph walked to a wall, “I was admiring the exquisite masonry here. I used to be a stonemason, so it’s natural to be interested in these things, and then…”

Randolph turned around and shined the flashlight on a wall behind him. On a brick above the wall was engraved the Hebrew word ‘death’. “That should be it. It is exactly the same as the parchment. One of the translations is ‘death’.” discipline’.”

“Probably means ‘no trespassing,'” Coulson said.

“The stone should have been here at the time. The owner of this castle may have mastered its changing laws and used it to punish certain people.” Aaron touched his chin and said thoughtfully, “Murder is illegal, but if the evidence is The bodies and corpses are thrown into another planet, and no matter what the case is, it can only be dropped.

After all, no one would have thought that a stone would be a portal. Normal people would only regard it as a collection. “

“The story is good, but using the portal to destroy corpses and traces is too cheap,” Skye said.

“This is purely personal speculation, don’t worry about it.” Aaron said nonchalantly.

“It’s so strange that a Hebrew warning is engraved in a British castle,” Randolph said. “It doesn’t fit. It looks like an ancient monument.”

“Didn’t you dig deeper?” Skye asked.

“There was a guy dressed as an owl and I got him drunk.

He admitted that there had never been any time travel, just ritual killings, which sounded like half-baked devil worship, a ploy to lure new members into joining.

Then the fire dancers started performing, and I got distracted. “

“There is another one here.” Coulson shined a flashlight on a stone door with the same words engraved on it. “That’s why I removed the SHIELD logo from the car. It’s too eye-catching.”

“But the ones on the plane were not evacuated.” Skye complained speechlessly, “That eagle emblem is not ordinary.”

“Sometimes I can’t help but feel embarrassed.” Colson laughed dryly, and then slapped the switch of the stone door.

Click! Click! Click!

The door slowly retracted into the wall, revealing a deep passage.

“Colson, you’d better say something before doing something like this next time.” Aaron said angrily.

“Don’t you want to give everyone a surprise?”

“What if there’s danger!

At least wait for me, no, wait until we are farther away and then open the door! “

“Agree.” Randolph nodded in agreement, “It has ‘death punishment’ written on it!”

Colson: …

This is too heartbreaking to say!

“Fitz walked in without saying a word, holding a flashlight.”

“Please first.” Randolph made a gesture of invitation, and Colson and Skye followed him in.

“I still have the virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young, so please go ahead.

If there’s any danger behind you, I’ll protect you. “

“Haha!” Randolph laughed silently, “Mr. Gaius, you are the most stubborn person I have seen in these thousands of years.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“Okay! I’ll go in first.”

Passing through the deep tunnel, at the end is a huge room filled with old-fashioned instruments.

“I haven’t seen this room since I came here last time.” Randolph couldn’t hide his surprise and said, “Considering the time period, the shape of the room was very strange. It was definitely built after I came here.”

“These machines…” Aaron smacked his lips, “Each one is several times older than me. What’s intriguing is why does the owner of the castle have so many machines in this room?”

“What did you think of?” Coulson asked.

“If the giant stone was in this room at that time, what were these instruments used for?”

“Control the portal.” Fitz couldn’t help but swallow, “They have mastered the method of opening the boulder and can open or close it at will.

These machines are the key. “

“Congratulations, Fitz.

The machines are still here, and you found a way to open the portal. “

“If they can still be used.” Randolph pulled the switch, and the lamps lit up one by one, illuminating the room. “A product of the late nineteenth century, more than a hundred years ago.”

“There’s still some life left!” Coulson said half-jokingly.

“Here.” Aaron walked to the center of the room and gently stepped on the round rock under his feet. “The bottom is empty. Judging from the size of the entrance, it should be used to place huge rocks.”

“Get out of the way, this should be the switch.” Randolph pulled the biggest switch again, and the floor in the center slowly opened, revealing a cylindrical pit, which was several meters deep according to visual inspection.

“Look at people’s wisdom. If you put a stone in a hole deep enough, even if it liquefies, you won’t be able to climb out.”

“Place the boulder here, activate these instruments to stimulate the boulder, and the portal will be opened.” Fitz couldn’t hide his excitement and said to himself, his voice was a little more joyful, and the nerves that had been tense for more than half a month finally relaxed at this moment. Some.

“Are you sure? Or do you just hope so?” Colson asked with a complicated expression.

“Just verify it and you’ll know.”

Colson was silent for a few seconds, then took out his mobile phone and said, “Mei, you and Mike go back and pull over the stone from the warehouse.

If we’re lucky, we might be able to open the portal and bring Simmons back. “
