Kayson quickly began making it.
The Time-Flow Pocket Watch requires Dark Matter to make it, and for Kayson now, this Dark Matter just needs to be synthesized a few more times.
Quickly, Kayson fiddled with the Crafting Table for a while and produced a pile of dark Dark Matter. Then he took out a golden clock, placed it in the center of the Crafting Table, and put the Dark Matter and fluorite into it.
Finally, a Great Hammer smashed down on it!
"Why did it fail?" Kayson looked at the things on the Crafting Table with a puzzled expression. Instead of being hammered into finished products, the various synthetic materials that had been hammered into various shapes and sizes seemed to have grown human-like eyes, staring at Kayson as if complaining that he couldn't make his own raw materials, but only made them suffer.
"Logically, this shouldn't be the case." Kayson waved his hand to collect all the raw materials on the Crafting Table, then sat down in the chair.
Unless the synthesis table is wrong or this world does not allow devices that manipulate time, but that doesn't make sense either, not to mention that the two future versions of themselves were played with by this thing one after the other.
This world also has its own time travel tools, Time-Turner, and yet they still manage to pull this biased stunt on themselves.
Sacks upon sacks of local Time-Turner were being made; someone wanted to create a Time-Flow Pocket Watch, but instead, they were secretly setting themselves up for failure...
No, there's another possibility.
The world allows Time-Turner to exist because they can only do so much; at most, they can help fill in the gaps in the timeline. If you want to modify history that has already happened, you can't change a single thing.
But the Time-Flow Pocket Watch is different; its position is far superior to that of the Time-Turner.
To put it simply, this thing can pause time, speed up time, and extend time, all without affecting the user.
These three abilities alone are far more powerful than the Time-Turner.
If it were just a single pocket Time-Flow Pocket Watch, that would be fine. The entire world's timeline would revolve around you; everything revolves around something, so what difference does it make who it revolves around?
However, there are two different things: one wants to speed up the timeline, and the other wants to slow it down. One of them is prone to tearing time apart and creating a time vacuum.
Therefore, the world's will would absolutely not allow the existence of the first Time-Flow Pocket Watch, but that doesn't make sense either.
Unless there already exists a Time-Flow Pocket Watch in this world...
... etc.
Kayson suddenly noticed the pocket watch on his desk, which he had disassembled and was now in pieces.
But that shouldn't be the case. Dumbledore said that the watch was a gift from a friend of his, which can rule out him as either a courtier or a military officer. Could it be a disguise or something?
No, no!
Kayson quickly shook his head. He picked up the pile of pocket watches. It was a bit too early to start studying the origin of this thing before even confirming that it was the Time-Flow Pocket Watch. What if it wasn't?
I wasted a lot of brain cells here, which was not worth it.
Before that, I should still investigate whether this pocket watch is the so-called Time-Flow Pocket Watch and whether I can repair it.
With that in mind, he placed the pile of pocket watches directly in the center of the workbench and then surrounded it with Dark Matter and fluorite.
If this broken pocket watch is confirmed to be a damaged Time-Flow Pocket Watch watch, it can theoretically be repaired using a workbench.
As Dark Matter and fluorite flowed into the pocket watch, its color changed from bronze to bright silver.
The appearance and form have also been slightly altered...
Hmm... It still can't adjust the time backwards, but there is indeed a small button next to the mainspring, and there is also a small dial on the watch face that is independent of the time dial.
The dial seemed endless, with densely packed markings, while the small dial's pointer pointed to a mark that was almost indistinguishable from the others.
"What's the purpose of this little dial marking?" Kayson frowned in confusion, but he quickly gave up thinking about it, just like when he encountered a question he couldn't answer in an exam, he would put it aside first so as not to waste time.
Kayson did the same; he decided to study the other functions of the pocket watch first.
The clockwork turned backward a little, and the world once again turned that grayish-white color.
But it was only for a moment; he only adjusted it for about a second, and then there was another button, if I'm not mistaken.
As soon as Kayson pressed the button, the whole world fell silent. Even the candle flame on the desk stopped burning. The next moment, as if the Time-Flow Pocket Watch could no longer bear the weight, the time-stopping effect vanished instantly.
This stillness lasted for only about three seconds.
"Three seconds is enough for me to do a lot of things... Hmm?" Kayson suddenly looked at the small dial on the main dial and hummed in surprise.
The little dial of the old clock used to point to a pitifully small mark, but now even that tiny mark has been reset to zero.
I just broke free from the state of frozen time, which means that this timeline is no longer there.
"How should this mark be added?" Kayson rubbed his chin.
He could find others to discuss other knowledge with, whether it was magic, life, or even alchemy.
And now, with that little thing in his hand, there's truly no one else in the entire world who can answer his question.
"I can only rely on myself now." Kayson sighed, lowered his head again, and silently began to study.
