Chapter 131 The Mysterious Altar

"I need your help to build a time dome. After all, you are the only one in the wizarding world who has mastered the magic of time."

Grindelwald handed a stack of parchment to Albert.

"Time Vault?"

Before Albert could read the contents on the parchment, Grindelwald said another sentence: "You will live here for the time being."

After saying that, the domineering devil turned and left without giving Albert any chance to refute.

"Huh? Then I have to explain the situation to my teacher and Old Dengtou!"

What responded to him was the sound of Grindelwald's footsteps walking further and further away.

Just leave him here like this?

Albert made a fingerprint casually, sent out a clone to report to Old Deng, and then began to lower his head and read the parchment Grindelwald gave him.

This is a complex alchemical item, or in other words, an alchemical building, far beyond Albert's imagination.

Having learned some basic knowledge of civil engineering before, Albert could easily understand the drawings.

Albert just took one look and understood that Grindelwald wanted him to give this alchemy product the ability to autonomously adjust the flow of time.

With Albert's current attainments in time magic, he can make the time flow rate inside this building reach thirty to one compared with the outside world.

In other words, one year has passed outside, and 30 years have passed inside.

But the premise is that Grindelwald can afford the massive energy needed to maintain the magic circle that regulates the flow of time.

Looking at the altar-like building on the drawing with a critical eye, Albert was curious about what Grindelwald wanted to use it for.

The square is like a pyramid-like structure. The building has thirteen floors and shrinks upwards.

A square temple is built on the top of the flat-topped pyramid.

(For the appearance, please refer to "Chichen Itza")

The body of the pyramid is carved with dense ancient rune patterns, and magic circuits flowing with magic light run through it like blood vessels.

There is also a huge five-pointed star array hidden under the base of the tower, which is really difficult to spot if you don't look carefully.

This magic circle should be used to power the magic patterns on the pyramid?

Albert couldn't quite understand either.

The pentagram was used as a symbol of the womb of the underworld in ancient Egypt, while in ancient Babylon it was used as a symbol of Nephitis (the goddess of the underworld), the twin sister of the goddess Ishtar.

Albert vaguely judged Grindelwald's purpose. Is this to extract energy from the underworld?

Aren't you afraid that TheOne, whose identity is suspected to be the God of Death, will come and cause trouble for you?

I have to say that Grindelwald is really a talented and courageous person.

But in this way, the energy supply problem is solved.

Turning his attention back to the tower, the complexity of the pattern composed of runes and magic circuits was far beyond Albert's current alchemy level, but Albert still roughly judged what was in the pattern. The purpose of part of the runes.

Albert set his sights on the temple at the top of the pyramid.

All the magic circuits on the tower, no matter how twisted or shuttled, finally converged on a point in the center of the temple.

Does Grindelwald want to spawn something in this area?

The walls around the temple are blank, so this should be the place where time magic is depicted?

Albert was a little confused. Should he make a copy of the drawing and show it to Nico?

Since Grindelwald handed over the drawings to him with such confidence, and did not say anything about prohibiting external transmission, nor did he prevent his clone from leaving, then it shouldn't be a problem to use the clone to transfer a memory back.

Just as Albert continued to flip through the drawings, Katharina appeared again.

"I'll take you to your room."

The beauty's tone was still so cold, as if Albert owed her millions of gold galleons.

……

Standing in the room that Grindelwald had arranged for him, Albert looked at the snow-capped mountains outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window with a dark look on his face.

A familiar narration sounded in my mind:

"I want to turn around and leave. The last ray of the setting sun falls into the thick, blood-red and boundless distance, meeting its peak in the sky..."

Good guy, is that the Matterhorn?

Albert was an old player in civilization in his previous life. Although he had never been here, he recognized the most famous peak in the Alps at a glance.

Seeing this mountain peak, Albert also roughly understood where he was.

The border between Switzerland and Italy.

Although he had long been mentally prepared that he was not in the British Isles area, Albert never imagined that he would be carried across such a long distance with just one stun spell.

……

Five days later, Albert, who had almost figured out how to start the construction, was taken to an underground cave by Grindelwald.

Who would have thought that there is such a large underground space hidden under the Alps.

Looking around, Albert quickly realized that it was dug manually. To be more precise, it was dug out using magic.

Otherwise, if there was no support for such a large space, the mountain on top would have collapsed long ago.

Looking at the magic patterns engraved on the surrounding mountain walls, as well as the ancient but still lifelike murals, Albert judged that this should be an unknown ruins that Grindelwald had somehow found.

In front of me is the building on the drawing.

Looking at the behemoth hundreds of meters high in front of him, Albert became more and more curious.

Did this originally exist or was it built by Grindelwald and his saints later?

This towering pyramid, when seen in reality, is much more shocking than looking at the drawings.

Climbing up the stone steps on the front of the pyramid, Albert looked at Grindelwald beside him:

"You plan to catalyze something in this temple?"

Grindelwald did not choose to answer him directly: "You will know when you get there."

Still selling it?

If he hadn't been unable to defeat him, Albert would have punched him long ago.

When Albert finally stood at the door of the temple on the top floor, he saw that there was only a suspended stone coffin with a strange shape in the huge stone chamber.

Other than that, nothing else.

The slender inverted trapezoidal main body in the middle holds a sphere, and there are approximately prism-shaped wings on both sides.

If you look at it flatly, Albert is more convinced that this is a special aircraft.

The prismatic objects on both sides are the propellers of the aircraft.

But no matter how you think about it, it is impossible that Grindelwald would enshrine a flying machine here.

In the perception of the magic wave feedback, Albert could feel that there was still a weak life wave in this stone coffin, but it was covered up by the magic wave of the surrounding magic patterns, so it was not very obvious.

"This is……"

"You don't think that our future opponent is as simple as TheOne." Grindelwald put his hand on the stone coffin, "In the deeper darkness, there are more terrifying opponents lurking, and this is our hope. .”

He turned to look at Albert: "It has been sleeping for a long time. It takes a huge amount of energy and a long time to wake it up from the scene."

"Deeper darkness?"
