The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

He then stayed in the city for three days.

While conducting an on-site investigation of the Drake Passage, he also broadcast some of the scenery of the "end of the world" to his friends in the UK.

The scenery in this small town is also quite nice.

Besides the raging sea, there are also lush green hillsides and majestic white snow-capped mountains that complement each other.

Scott also made a point of trying the local specialty, spider crab.

Later, he heard that Fred had shared a photo of him eating a giant spider crab with Ron at the dinner table.

Scott didn't want to know how Ron would react.

On the third day after arriving in Ushuaia, he finally decided to set off alone to Antarctica.

Chapter 537 The Mysterious Realm of Jotunheim

Late at night, Scott stood on the deserted beach.

Rimbaud, all in black, stood on his shoulder, while Helena, with her translucent body, floated beside him.

"I never imagined I would have the chance to come to the other side of the world."

Helena looked at the surging sea, her voice tinged with excitement.

Scott laughed and said, "My original plan was to travel the world after graduation."

As he spoke, he casually tossed four small metal balls.

The [Magic Barrier Ball] landed, emitting a slight buzzing sound.

Soon, a cube-shaped magic barrier unfolded.

"It's time to go."

Scott casually sat down, took out a magic lamp and placed it beside him, and then took out the [blank picture frame].

Just then, a giant wave surged up, enveloping the magic barrier like a giant hand and dragging them into the sea.

The enlarged body of Cilay appeared and disappeared in the seawater, carrying a magical barrier as it swam away into the distance.

Despite the turbulent undercurrents in the sea, Scott, sitting inside the magical barrier under Sirein's control, felt little turbulence.

This is even more comfortable than traveling on a large cruise ship.

In the mouths of Muggles, the Drake Passage is always associated with titles such as "the widest, deepest, and most dangerous strait in the world" and "the deadly Roaring Forties."

To put it more concretely, the Drake Passage is 800 kilometers long, with waves that are 10 to 20 meters high and winds that are said to reach speeds of over 100 kilometers per hour.

"We will cross the Drake Passage to reach the South Shetland Islands."

Scott unfolds the map.

"Although the archipelago is a barren land, there are many scientific research stations set up by various countries on the islands. We need to avoid the Muggles on the islands."

Helena was puzzled. "Why would Muggles live in a place like this?"

In the painting, Ravenclaw says, "Muggles are exploring the world in Muggle ways."

Scott said, "Antarctica is still a pristine place for humanity, and it also has many useful resources..."

Time passed slowly as they talked.

Because Sirein didn't use his top speed this time, it took them a whole day to cross the Drake Passage.

It's late at night again.

Seawater, laden with ice floes, surged ashore, sending the magical barrier onto the land.

"cold."

Through the magical barrier, Scott checked the temperature and put on another layer of clothing.

Scott glanced around and temporarily put away the [Magic Barrier Ball].

He sent Cyrene back into the Eye of Odin and released Horus.

"Enlarge it quickly."

A spell was cast to transform the palm-sized Horus into a colossal creature, and Scott, along with Rimbaud and the picture frame, climbed onto its broad back.

"Next, we'll walk from the air."

After Helena came up, Scott once again deployed a magical barrier and cast a disillusionment spell on Horus, himself, and Rimbaud.

"take off!"

At Scott's command, Horus took flight.

It was still a tedious journey.

Especially after entering the Antarctic continent, all you see is a vast expanse of white glaciers and snowfields. At first, you feel that there are spectacular sights everywhere, but after looking at them for a while, you feel that time is passing too slowly.

Although there was no live stream, Scott still used the Magic Mirror to record his journey.

Horus flew across the Weddell Sea on the wind, over the Ronnie Ice Shelf and the Ellsworth Mountains, across the Antarctic mountain range, and finally gradually approached the ice sheet where the South Pole is located.

Even with the help of the Reiss map in his hand, it took Scott most of the day to find the location marked on the map.

That is, the entrance to the "Jotunheim" secret realm.

"Fly straight down, Horus."

Looking down at the massive glacial fissure below, Scott gave the order.

Horus let out a cry, riding the gale as it flew down into the bottomless chasm.

As they went deeper, the light grew dimmer, and Scott took out the magic lamp again.

He constantly sensed his surroundings while directing Horus's direction.

"Turn left ahead!"

"Continue downwards!"

"Turn right, I sense a magical fluctuation!"

"That's it!"

Scott pointed to the seemingly naturally formed platform on the ice wall.

Under his command, Horus landed on the platform and slowly folded his wings.

"Thank you for your hard work, Horus."

Scott breaks the illusion spell, allowing Horus to return to the Eye of Odin.

"You can't see the sky anymore." Helena looked up.

Scott took a few steps forward, sensing the magical fluctuations hidden on the ice wall ahead, and raised his wand.

As he chanted a difficult incantation, newly discovered runes appeared on the ice wall, opening a circular spatial passage.

"You can go in now."

He called out and stepped into the passageway.

With a flash, he found himself in a vast wasteland.

Unlike the outside world, this place is not all thick glaciers; as far as the eye can see, there are many scattered rocks that are not covered by ice and snow.

These boulders are enormous, like small mountains.

Standing there, Scott felt incredibly small.

"This alternate dimension seems to be exceptionally large."

Helena floated higher, wanting to see further.

"I can't see the boundary of the wasteland. I don't know if it's really boundless or just an illusion created by the scenery."

Scott understood what she meant.

One possibility is that the wasteland is really vast.

Another possibility is that it's not actually that big, like a distant landscape texture in a game, a visual illusion.

Scott also transformed into a peregrine falcon and flew into the sky with Rimbaud.

They flew around the area but didn't see any buildings.

Re-landing and transforming into human form, he said to Helena and the Ravenclaw in the painting, "This place doesn't have a clear objective like the 'Niflheim' secret realm. The first thing to do is to scout."

Rimbaud asked, "Shall we summon the crows?"

Scott shook his head. "The crows probably can't adapt to the climate here, and they won't be able to find food here."

He couldn't possibly use his own food to feed a large flock of crows.

He waved his wand at the rocks beside him.

"Crushed to pieces!"

The rock, which was twice the height of a person, was reduced to fragments.

Then, a series of transformation spells flashed, and all the rubble turned into crows.

"It's up to you to take command, Rimbaud."

Scott handed over command of the crows to Rimbaud.

"Let them find out the general situation of this secret place as soon as possible."

"Leave it to me."

Rimbaud responded and cawed a few times at the flock of crows.

Once the crows had dispersed, Scott led the raven, the picture frame, and the ghost into the [Eye of Odin] space.

Under the artificial sunlight in the alternate dimension, Scott took off his thick down jacket and couldn't help but stretch.

"Go and rest for a while."

The Ravenclaw instructor in the painting is smiling as he speaks.

"You haven't had a good night's sleep for days."
