516. Scott's Harvest
"Can you use space magic to break through the gate?"
Helena floated straight forward.
"If I could go straight in......"
Halfway through her words, her forehead silently collided with the door.
Helena stepped back and reached out to cover her forehead.
There was something strange about her expression.
"This feeling...... she muttered, "I still don't feel pain, but I have the experience of 'touching' again......"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand, as if she had gotten a novel toy, and kept groping for the door.
After a long time, she came back to her senses and felt the gaze of Scott and Ravenclaw looking at her.
"I ...... I'm ......"
She seemed to feel ashamed of what she had just done, and she stammered when she spoke.
"It's okay, Helena."
Ravenclaw looks at her lovingly.
"It's the right thing to do for you to get out of Hogwarts Castle, isn't it?"
Scott also laughed and said, "At least there was a novel experience." ”
"I ...... I ......"
Helena, who has always paid great attention to her image, still seems to be unacceptable.
Scott quickly changed the subject, "Now let me try it, with 'Yggdrasil.'" ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand, pointed his wand at the door, and chanted a incantation.
"Askr Yggdrasills!"
A gray light lit up from the tip of the wand.
The light was not bright, but somewhat obscure.
The light shone on the heavy stone door, outlining one after another strangely shaped runes.
The runes were small, and the strokes were connected to form a clear tree-like pattern.
Immediately after that, the root of the patterned tree changes again.
The three largest roots spread outward, creating a fist-sized circle over the stone door.
Within that circle, the stone gate vanished.
Scott kept his magic as he moved closer, looking through the circular hole into the stone door.
Unfortunately, it was only pitch black inside the door.
"Shimen is indeed going to react with 'Yggdrahir'." "But if you want to get in, you have to create a space that at least you can pass through on your own." ”
Rimbaud proposed, "You can also change Edgar back to its original size, and it can pass through this hole!" ”
Scott shook his head.
"It doesn't make much sense."
"Asgard" is a place of great knowledge, which is not so easy to obtain.
Not to mention......
"I still have a lot of time, and this is a great place to practice spatial supermagic."
The stone gate in front of you can keenly react with the spatial super magic of "Yuktrasil", and it is the best practice prop.
He settled down and began to try to expand the space.
But unfortunately, his current mastery of this spatial supermagic seems to be at the limit, and when he tries to expand the space, the tree structure pattern constructed by the runes immediately collapses.
The fist-sized hole in the stone door slowly disappeared.
Scott didn't say a word and went straight to the next attempt.
In this way, Scott began to repeat the practice over and over again, eating some food when he was thirsty and hungry, and taking a nap by the campfire when he was sleepy.
Repetitive mechanical exercises are not the goal.
He just wanted to further understand the meaning of those initial rune combinations in his attempts to open up space again and again.
Of course, the more important thing is the grasp of space magic.
Although he didn't see the sun and the moon, Scott didn't lose time because he carried a mechanical watch that was not affected by magic.
This repetition continued for seven days.
During these seven days without distractions, his progress was extremely rapid.
By the seventh day, the passage he had carved out in the stone gate was large enough for a thin man to climb into.
But Scott himself was a little short of getting in.
In order not to get stuck in the passage, he had to keep practicing.
But it's not without other gains.
When the passage was expanded, he would always throw a magic lamp into the door before it disappeared.
The number of magic lamps inside the door increased, gradually illuminating the entire space, and also allowing Scott to get a rough view of what the interior looked like.
The space inside the door is large, and the most striking thing is a huge stone tablet standing in the center, and Scott can even faintly see the characters inscribed on the stone tablet.
But since the stele was a deep black color and the characters on it were too dense to count, if he wanted to see all the characters thoroughly, he still had to enter the gate and get closer.
At Ravenclaw's suggestion, Scott first rested for a full day and slept for more than a dozen hours.
When he woke up and his mind was completely clear, he began the process of repeating the exercise again.
Perhaps enough accumulation had taken him not long this time, and after only a few hours, he had carved out enough passage for himself to crouch through the door.
"It worked! Congratulations! Helena said happily.
Scott nodded, smiled and said, "It's better than I thought, at least I don't have to go in on my stomach." ”
With that, he let Helena and Rimbaud enter the passage, and then he slipped into the passage with the frame of Ravenclaw before it disappeared.
Edgar stayed outside the door as he commanded.
Entering the door, Scott waved his hand and used the Illumination Charm to create countless clusters of light that completely illuminated the entire space.
It's a pity that this stone room is bare, and there is nothing else except the black stone tablet.
Scott walked over to the stele and began to read and parse the runes carved into the stele in detail.
"Sure enough, there is indeed a record of the absolute hit attack super magic 'Gangenir' here." "But only half." ”
Because he had expected this, Scott was not disappointed, but a little happy.
He said: "If you master this half of the knowledge, you can already use that attack magic, and the undodging characteristic is not missing, but the power is a little insufficient, and it can't be called super magic." ”
To be exact, the knowledge here was enough for him to learn a weakened version of "Gangenir".
The weakened version of "Gangenir" also has the trait of being inescapable, but it is not invincible.
In other words, it can be blocked by defensive magic or obstacles.
But how destructive this weakened version is will need to be further studied after he learns it.
Looking at the last few lines of characters under the stele, Scott smiled helplessly and said, "It seems that you have to learn this magic before you can leave." ”
Ravenclaw nodded, "To get out of the gate, you can't use 'Yggdrasil' anymore, you have to destroy the gate completely." ”
"And the stele has to be destroyed." "Because there's a gift hidden inside the stele." ”
Rimbaud asked, "Does it have to be destroyed with 'Gangnir'?" Maybe other magic could too? ”
Helena said: "Presumably they won't leave such a loophole. ”
"I think so."
Scott nodded, then turned and walked towards the door.
"But we'll have to try."
"Divided!"
"Broken bones!"
"Thunderbolt Explosion!"
"The house is collapsing!"
With a few loud bangs, the heavy stone door did not move at all, but only dropped some dust.
Scott turned and spread his hands.
"Looks like you'll have to learn 'Gungnir' first."
"Is it possible to create a much more destructive power than these few spells with just half the knowledge?"
Helena seemed incredulous.
"Or will the Stone Gate react with 'Ganganir' in the same way that 'Yggtrahir' is used outside the Gate?"
"It must be the latter." Scott said, "If this was just an ordinary stone door, then it would have been completely destroyed by my spell just now. ”
With that, he walked back to the black stele.
Before he began to study, he had to rub down the runes on the stone tablet.
After all, this stele is meant to be destroyed.
He took a piece of parchment from the shapeshifting lizard's pouch and enchanted it to make it bigger, rubbing it back to its original size.
Of course, he also used [Magic Mirror] to take "photos" and "videos".
After that, he began a new round of learning.
"Gangenir" is not just a single magic, but a whole set of attacks that can contain other magical elements.
Once mastered, he can use his magic power to form a piercing attack, or he can use various elements such as fire, water, earth, wind, and metal to create a "spear" with elemental properties.
This will undoubtedly greatly enrich his attack methods.
Such a bright prospect made Scott enthusiastically devote himself to learning.
This time, it took him another ten days.
Fortunately, he was well prepared for this trip, and he had enough food with him, and no other companion needed to eat.
In short, ten days later, Scott had already had a preliminary grasp of the weakened version of "Gangenir".
Of course, it's the initial version, and includes the part where the elements are integrated.
"But that's enough." Scott said, "Let's learn the rest slowly." ”
He already wanted to get out of this closed place as soon as possible.
As he spoke, he walked over to the black stone tablet and raised his wand.
"Gungnir!"
Scott's magic converged into a golden light.
The gold almost flashed.
"Click."
The sound of the destruction of the black stele rang out.
If you look at it in slow motion, the golden light is first elongated, then straight forward, stabbing, penetrating, and disappearing, which is a whole process.
But all this happened in a very short period of time, and people couldn't react at all.
"Click."
The pierced black stele began to disintegrate itself.
First the crack spread, and then it turned directly into a pile of black powder.
Scott stepped forward and pulled out a golden treasure chest from the pile of powder.
The style of the chest is very similar to that found in the Temple of Odin.
He opened the treasure chest and was also given a roll of hides, as well as a piece of jewelry.
It's just that this time the jewelry I got was not a necklace like [Odin's Eye], but a black ring.
The ring is wide, made of an unknown metal, and has a blue pear-shaped gemstone set on it.
To find out where the ring came from, Scott unfolded the hide.
"The name of the ring is 'Hvargmir', named after the first spring of the world."
He told the others.
"Whoever wears the ring can summon the original giant Ymir to help in battle."
Ravenclaw says, "That is, there may be a constant summoning magic on this ring, or a high-level transfiguration magic." ”
Scott nodded, put away the skin roll, compared it to the size of the ring, and finally put it on the index finger of his left hand.
"Just go out and try it."
As he spoke, he turned and raised his wand to the door.
The golden light flashed again.
The heavy stone door was pierced and then disintegrated.
When the dust had settled, Scott and the others walked out the door.
Seeing Scott come out, Edgar, who had stayed outside the door, immediately flew out and let out an excited scream.
"Try that ring now!" Rimbaud's enthusiastic proposal.
Scott nodded, raised his left hand, and injected mana into the ring.
In an instant, the blue pear-shaped gemstone on the ring shone brightly.
The blue light is like water waves, and like a light veil, flying and fluttering in the air.
"It's a feeling...... It's summoning magic. ”
As soon as Scott's words fell, a huge blue humanoid figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
This is an incomparably tall giant.
His body was taller than that of ordinary giants, and he had exceeded ten meters by sight, but his appearance was not as clumsy as that of ordinary giants, but rather like a human being enlarged in equal proportions.
His skin was blue, his hair was white, he was dressed in a neat suit of ice armor, and there was a cold aura all around him.
Scott felt that he already had a direct connection with the giant, as if he were a product of his Transfiguration, and could give orders through this connection at will.
At the same time, he also understood the origin of this giant named after "Ymir".
It's not a real creature, it's an alchemy doll for battle.
Scott's mind moved, and Ymir opened his eyes.
Coincidentally, its eye color is very similar to Scott's, which is also a somewhat transparent blue.
Then, Ymir's massive body moved and took a few steps forward.
His movements look very flexible and natural, and he doesn't seem bulky.
Then, Yumir clenched his huge fist and punched the mountain wall on one side.
With a loud bang, the fist smashed a pit directly into the mountain wall.
Then, he turned his fist into a palm and pressed his palm against the mountain wall.
The cold air spread rapidly under the palm of his hand, and in a few moments, the entire mountain wall was completely frozen, condensing into a thick layer of ice.
Scott knew that Ymir's abilities were more than that, but it was obviously not a good place to experiment, and the display had to go so far.
"Let's go back."
He stretched out his left hand again, and with a swirling blue light, Ymir's massive body vanished without a trace.
"Great!"
Seeing this scene, Rimbaud flew excitedly.
"I think it can easily defeat the fire dragon!"
