The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

He found it very quickly.

He stood there, and what he saw was a completely different scene from before.

The warm morning sunlight shone from one side, tinting the white mist with an orange hue.

Sunlight, fog, angle, refraction...

Scott didn't know why, but he saw the long-lost "Odin Stone".

It was a huge rock, much larger than all the surrounding standing stones, and its lower half was hollowed out.

It was exactly the same as the picture Scott had seen in the documents.

Soon, in Scott's eyes, a purple shadow suddenly extended out from the hollowed-out part below the "Odin Stone," slowly turning like a second hand until it stopped.

"So……"

Scott crouched down and suddenly heard himself muttering to himself.

"What did you say?" Rimbaud's voice followed immediately. "Oh! I heard you speak again!"

Then came the sounds of the sea breeze, the waves crashing against the rocks, the cawing of crows, and many other sounds in succession…

Scott couldn't help but feel joy, as if he had enjoyed a cheerful and vivid piece of music.

But the opportunity might be fleeting, so Scott quickly snapped out of his daze, took out a small wooden box from his backpack, and opened the lid.

"Let you lead the charge."

He put his entire arm into the small wooden box.

"Golza".

Scott crouched down and placed Golza, which he had taken from the wooden box, on the ground.

"Grow bigger quickly!"

With a flash of the expansion spell, Golza quickly transformed into a fully-fledged Komodo dragon.

“Go, Golza, follow my instructions and go scout the way.”

Golza nodded and crawled forward at top speed using all four legs.

Soon, it crossed the trench and plunged into the thick fog.

Scott clearly felt that the connection between himself and Golza had suddenly weakened.

But thanks to prior preparations, this connection was not broken.

This is good news.

Scott secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Scott could no longer see Golza, he could still determine its general location based on their connection and some speculation.

Without a doubt, Golza has arrived at [the place the shadow of the standing stone points to].

Under Scott's remote control, Golza crawled back and forth in that area several times and even burrowed underground, but still found nothing.

Just then, Scott heard the sound of wind breaking through the air.

He turned around and watched as a sea eagle descended from the sky, transforming into a red-haired girl upon landing.

"Sawana?"

Scott stood up, looking at the girl who had suddenly appeared there in surprise.

"How did you come."

Good morning, Scott.

Savannah smiled and ran over to Scott in a few steps.

I knew you'd be here today!

“You ran away from home, didn’t you, Savannah?” Scott stared at her and said, “and without your grandfather’s knowledge.”

Savannah smiled at him.

Are you trying to kick me out, Scott?

She pulled a notebook with a cover made of glued-together leaves from her pocket, showing a hint of pride.

"I specifically obtained this valuable clue..."

As she said this, she glanced back at the fully risen sun and suddenly exclaimed.

"Oh, hurry, there's not much time left!"

Her tone became somewhat anxious.

"If I remember correctly, the entrance to that tower can only be found an hour after sunrise on the day with the longest daylight!"

At this point, she reached out, intending to shove the notebook in her hand into Scott's.

"In short, I spent a lot of time finding some clues in those old notes preserved by my family, and I have copied them all into this notebook."

"Thank you."

Scott reached out and took the notebook, opened it, and quickly began to read.

"In short..."

Savannah didn't shut her mouth while he was looking through it.

"In short, opening the entrance requires venturing into the fog, and the fog seems very dangerous..."

"I see."

At this point, Scott had already closed the notebook and returned it to Savannah.

He stared at the enigmatic mist before him.

"There are some things that cannot be solved by transformation magic. Only by going there in person can I open that entrance."

“But that fog is dangerous,” Savannah warned him. “Contact with the fog will cause you to lose your strength.”

"Don't worry."

Scott, on the other hand, was quite confident about it.

"first……"

"Come back, Golza."

"Then……"

"Syrein, Horus, Edgar."

As Golza withdrew from the area of ​​the standing stone, Scott had already enlarged the other three "summoned beasts".

Then, he took out four small metal balls.

This is a spoil of war taken from Waldo Girard.

"Rimbaud".

Scott then enlarged Rimbaud's size in the same way.

Next, he took out the shapeshifting lizard skin bag from his backpack, tied it securely around his waist, and then cast a head-bubbling spell on himself before diving into the water sphere of Sirein.

Subsequently, the other four "summoned beasts" each carried a small metal ball.

Soon, the cube-shaped magic barrier enveloping the water sphere was activated.

This provides two layers of protection.

set off!

Scott waved as he swam underwater in the center of the water sphere.

"Be careful!" Savannah looked on with some concern.

Without looking back, protected by both the water sphere and the magic barrier, Scott crossed the trench and entered the mist.

Soon, in Scott's eyes, everything outside the magic barrier turned into a white blur.

Following his memory and intuition, he headed toward [the place the shadow pointed to].

Unlike what he saw from the outside, he was unable to see the reappearing "Odin Stone" inside the standing stone.

But when he arrived at the location, a pitch-black shadow spread across the grass beneath his feet.

Scott felt his feet sink and he began to freefall instantly.

“F……k!”

He couldn't help but curse loudly.

That was incredibly fast.

Although Dumbledore said he would take him away at a crucial moment, it seems the old headmaster failed to do so.

This thought only flashed through his mind for a moment, and Scott didn't have time to think about anything else; he had to think more about his current situation.

But to be honest, it doesn't really matter to him, since the water sphere that Cyrene controls can float anyway.

Similarly, it doesn't matter if Rimbaud, Edgar, or Horus can fly.

But Golza wouldn't work.

Lacking any means to deal with this situation, it can only fall straight down.

In order not to disrupt the formation, the others had no choice but to fall down with it.

At the same time, Scott cast an illumination spell with his wand.

But soon he realized he didn't need the light.

The light is now coming from below.

Directly below them was churning, scorching lava.

Without time to ponder questions like "This isn't a volcano, so where did the lava come from?", Scott decisively had Sir Rein lead him to the edge of the water sphere.

He swiftly reached out and transformed Golza back to its normal size, then used a teleportation spell to make it and the metal ball fly back into his hand.

With one piece lost, the magic barrier collapsed immediately.
