On the endless sea, Scott, who had changed into warm clothes, sat in the midst of the magic barrier, looking up at the starry night sky.

Below, Sirein manipulated the current, causing the magic barrier to half-float on the water's surface.

"Are you sure this is it?"

Rimbaud, standing on Scott's shoulder, asked.

"That's right, this is it." Scott said.

"I've done the math, and that's where the coordinates are showing."

Helena, who was also observing the starry sky just now, also gave an affirmative answer.

"Let's start sinking." Scott commanded, "Sirein!"

Hearing his command, the sea water that had been holding the magic barrier began to surge, forming a huge water ball, enveloping the magic barrier completely, and then sinking under the surface of the sea.

Scott raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

In an instant, bright light occupied every corner of the magical barrier, illuminating the sea water outside the barrier.

Sirein sank rapidly, and it didn't take long for Scott to sense that the magical barrier protecting them was becoming a little overwhelmed by the squeeze of the sea.

He drew his wand and used the Iron Armor Charm to create a huge barrier of attributes in addition to the barrier created by the [Mana Barrier Ball].

Since then, he has been steadily outputting mana, maintaining the stability of the spherical mana barrier.

After about half an hour, they finally reached the bottom of the sea.

The first thing that catches your eye is a shipwreck.

Although the wreck was in tatters, Scott could barely tell that it was the old wooden ship from the [Mariner's Astrolabe] illusion.

"This is it."

He had Sirein push the magic barrier to the shipwreck.

Scott then stood up and held the eye-shaped pendant [Eye of Odin] on his chest with his left hand.

Then he recited an awkward incantation, the wand in his right hand pointing forward.

A blinding golden light peeked through the fingers of his left hand, and then a golden beam of light shot out from the tip of his wand.

The beam of light pierced through the two layers of magic barrier without any hindrance, shining on the tattered wreckage.

The golden light seemed to move freely, tracing one initial rune after another in the water.

The runes were still spinning at first, but when the fourteen runes joined each other end to end in a complete circle, they stabilized.

If a hidden mirror is broken, or a curtain is suddenly lifted, the runes form a circular spatial passage, and Scott can see the icy scenery on the other side of the passage.

"Let's go!"

Scott commanded Sirein to push the magic barrier forward, into the circular space passage.

With just a flash in front of them, they broke away from the sea and appeared in a field of ice and snow.

There was a whimpering wind in my ears, large snowflakes were flying, and the ground around me was frozen ground that seemed to last for thousands of years.

At the foot of the icebergs in the distance, the magnificent ice palace stands tall.

Hearing a "click" sound, Scott looked back.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the water balls that enveloped Sirein were frozen solidly into solid ice balls.

Scott cast several warm spells on himself, then withdrew the [Magic Barrier Orb] that affected their movements, and removed the magic barrier built by the outer Iron Armor Charm.

Before he could speak, the icy wind seemed to penetrate everywhere, penetrating from his nostrils and even into his body through every pore.

He even felt his body stiffen a lot in the space of a few seconds.

"Are you alright?"

Helena was not affected by the image of temperature, and she looked at Scott with some concern.

Scott shook his head.

He hurriedly cast a bubble head spell on himself, and then he felt his breathing easier.

"I'm fine." He said.

He then proceeds to rescue Sirein, who is frozen by the ice ball.

Instead of attempting to destroy the puck with a spell, he directly used Transfiguration on the puck to peel off Sirein intact.

Sirein fell to the ground, flicking his tail helplessly.

Obviously, it no longer dares to create currents and has lost the ability to move freely here.

"Good work, Sirein, you can rest."

Scott smiled and took it inside [Odin's Eye].

After rescuing Sirein, Scott waved his wand at the huge ice cube that the puck had just turned into.

Under the light of the Transfiguration Charm, the ice cubes rapidly transformed.

The first to appear were four huge sled dogs, whose bodies were made entirely of ice and snow, and who were still jumping around and even yelling excitedly in such a harsh environment.

What follows is a huge sleigh car, not so much a sled as a small house built on a sled.

The transformation ends.

Scott looked at his work with satisfaction.

"Let's go."

He was the first to climb into the sleigh and into the interior of the small house.

Helena and Rimbaud followed.

Some of the initial comprehension of the space super magic "Euktrasil", it seems that the interior space of a small house is actually very large.

When Scott was using Transfiguration just now, he integrated his mastery of spatial supermagic into it at the same time.

That is, at the same time as the transformation, the interior of the house has been engraved with a magic circuit to expand the space.

This set of magic circuits is a simplified version of the initial rune combination associated with "Yggdrasil".

Closing the door, Scott walked to the couch on one side of the interior of the room and sat down, waving his wand to light a fire in the fireplace.

After reaching out to bake the fire, he sighed comfortably.

At the same time, without his special orders, the sled dogs were already pulling the sled cart and running.

The target, of course, is the ice palace at the foot of the iceberg in the distance.

"I've never seen anything like it."

Helena floated to the window and looked out through the transparent windowsill.

"In my almost thousand-year-long memory, apart from the Ravenclaw family castle and Hogwarts Castle, where I grew up, there is only the forest of Albania."

Scott said to her, "As far as I know, the ghosts are not tied down somewhere. At Sir Nicholas's death party, almost all of England's ghosts attended. ”

"You're right."

Helena glanced back at him.

"Hogwarts is the only Peeves who are bound by Hogwarts, because he is a troublemaker who can only exist on the basis of school."

Scott added, "But is there any reason why neither you nor any other ghost leaves Hogwarts?" ”

"For no particular reason." Helena said, "The ghosts are the ghosts of the old days, we are all homeless, and Hogwarts is our home. ”

"That's right." Scott laughed.

Helena added, "But the other ghosts don't stay at Hogwarts Castle all the time, anyway, the ghosts have their own social activities, it's just that I never go outside of Hogwarts. ”

She looked out the window again.

"Now that I think about it, I was bound to myself."

She laughed as she spoke.

"I didn't expect that I, who had always been stupid in my life, would still be stupid after I died, and I never looked like the daughter of the great Ravenclaw."

"You're not my daughter, so who is?"

Ravenclaw's voice rang out.

Just now, when Helena was feeling herself, Scott put the [small blank picture frame] she was carrying on the table next to her.

"Mother's ......"

Helena was a little embarrassed.

"Alright, Helena, you don't have to be too emotional."

Ravenclaw said mildly.

"Even if you have become a ghost, you can still have a new experience, and I hope that when you are completely gone, there will be no regrets in your heart."

"I will, Mother."

Helena nodded solemnly.

"So, let's talk about the current situation."

Ravenclaw looks at Scott.

"Yes, Mentor......"

Scott began to tell about the current situation.

He and Ravenclaw then began to discuss the practical use of the super-magic "Yggdrasil".

At present, Scott is not able to use this super magic freely, and the so-called use of the previous transformation is only a simplified version, which only plays a role in expanding the space.

As for the direct casting of this super magic, Scott has practiced it many times, but unfortunately the effect is not ideal.

Although he can already carve out space out of thin air, the space he has opened up is very small, so small that it is not even too small as a carry-on package-

It can only be the size of a fist.

A space of this size is undoubtedly useless.

As for the progress after that, it's not just a matter of farming proficiency.

Magic is not a fighting technique, and it cannot be remembered with the body, forming muscle memory.

Magic is still an application of knowledge, and it is necessary to understand the principles of it.

The more you understand, the better you will be at using magic.

Unfortunately, Ravenclaw mentors don't help much in this regard.

After all, Ravenclaw had no experience in this area during his lifetime.

Magic portraits, on the other hand, are only replicas and are generally not able to learn new things.

In this respect, the magical portrait of the Ravenclaw Mentor is already considered an outlier, but it is nowhere near as good as the real Ravenclaw himself.

Time flies by in the process of discussion and learning.

The sleigh stopped.

"We're here."

Helena, who had been staring out the window, reminded her.

"It's here."

Scott got up from the couch and waved his hand, causing the Ravenclaw frame to fly and float beside him.

"Then let's go out and have a look."

He walked to the door, gave himself a foaming spell, and opened the door.

A biting cold wind poured in instantly.

Scott looked up at the nearby Ice Palace.

This ice palace is extremely large and rugged, all of which are made up of huge square ice cubes, with no decoration on the surface, just long layers of ice hanging from them.

At this time, the sleigh is facing the high staircase in front of the gate of the Ice Palace.

"Let me take a look."

Helena said to Scott.

"I should be able to go in directly, and then you can go in after I'm sure of internal security and figure out the course of action."

"No, you don't." Scott shook his head, "You just have to look at the first space behind the gate, and then you can come out." We can explore slowly in stages. ”

"Okay, then I'll take a look."

With that, Helena floated down the sleigh and up the stairs through the closed gates of the Ice Palace.

Scott stood still and waited.

It wasn't long before Helena slipped through the gate and got back on the sled.

"There's a lot of fog inside."

She told Scott.

"The fog is so thick that it will obscure your vision, and I don't know if it will be harmful to you."

"In that case......

Scott closed the door, pulled out a necklace made of two golden acorns from the shape-shifting lizard's leather pouch and hung it around his neck, and took out the llama skull and hung it around his waist.

Then, he cast another Iron Armor Charm, completely enveloping himself with a magical barrier.

The magic barrier was still fully spherical, with Scott standing in the middle, Rimbaud perched on his left shoulder, and Ravenclaw's frame floating to his right.

"That should be fine." He said, "Let's try to see if we can break through the fog, and if not, we'll have to go straight in." Of course, even if my vision is obscured, I can still use my magical perception to find my way. ”

With that, he pushed the door open again and jumped out of the sleigh.

Glancing up, he walked up the long staircase.

Helena floated beside him.

"Let me go ahead when you get in." "If there's danger, I'll warn you," she said. ”

"Then please." Scott nodded.

A few minutes later, they came to the gate.

Scott reached out and tried to push the door through the magic barrier, but the heavy door in front of him didn't move.

After thinking about it, he turned to look down the steps.

The four sled dogs untie each other's reins, run up the steps, and work together to push the gate.

With their help, the gate was finally pushed open.

Scott saw the fog Helena was talking about.

Behind the door was a gray mist, which was condensed and heavy.

"Fluorescent flickering."

Scott raised his hand, and the tip of his wand lit up.

But the light of the Illumination Charm could not penetrate the fog at all.

Scott increased the mana output again, even making the light blind, but the fog still occupied every corner of the space behind the door, keeping all light out.

Next, Scott cast a whirlwind sweep on the inside of the gate.

Unfortunately, this spell didn't work to sweep away the gray mist.

The undying Scott tried the Hurricane Curse again.

The wind howled and the gray mist surged, but it never thinned out.

"The flames are blazing!"

Scott waved his wand again.

A blazing flame immediately appeared outside the barrier of mana.

Scott moved his wand, and the flames burned more violently as he manipulated them, spreading into the gray mist.

In the face of the scorching flames, the gray mist finally slowly receded.

"So the weakness of these fogs is fire?" Helena said happily.

"Then let the flames burn harder!"

Scott waved his wand heavily.

In this icy world, there is no fear of causing a fire.

Rumble!

The flames erupted violently and began to expand.

Scott then cast another hurricane spell.

Under his control, the swirling hurricane and the fierce flames formed a firestorm that swept through the space inside the gate.
