Late at night, Scott stood on the beach with no one in the middle of nowhere.

Covered in darkness, Rimbaud stood on his shoulder, and Helena, whose translucent body was floating beside him.

"I didn't expect me to have the opportunity to come to the other side of the world."

Helena looked at the rough sea, her tone a little excited.

Scott also laughs and says, "My original plan was to travel the world again after graduation. ”

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

[Mana Barrier Ball] landed, making a slight buzzing sound.

Soon, a cube-shaped barrier of magic unfolded.

"It's time to go."

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

At that moment, a huge wave swelled, enveloping the magical barrier like a large hand, dragging them into the sea.

Sirein's magnified body disappeared from place to place in the water. Carrying the magic barrier, he swam into the distance.

Despite the turbulent tide in the sea, Scott, who was sitting in the barrier of magic power, did not feel too many bumps and bumps under the control of Sirein.

It's even more comfortable than riding on a large cruise ship.

In Muggles' mouths, the Drake Strait is always known as "the widest, deepest, and most dangerous strait in the world" and "the murderous Devil's Zephyr Belt".

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

"We'll cross the Drake Passage and get to the South Shetland Islands."

Scott expands the map.

"The archipelago is barren land, but there are a number of scientific research stations on the island, and we need to avoid the Muggles on the island."

Helena was a little puzzled, "Why do Muggles live in this kind of place?" ”

Ravenclaw says, "Muggles are exploring the world in a Muggle way. ”

"Antarctica is still a pure land for humanity, and there are many useful resources there," Scott said......

In the middle of the conversation, time passed slowly.

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

It's been another late night.

Ice-floed waters rushed ashore, sending the barrier of magic onto land.

"Cold."

Through the magic barrier, Scott felt the temperature and added another piece of clothing to himself.

Looking around, Scott temporarily put away the [Magic Barrier Ball].

He sent Sirein back into the [Eye of Odin] space and released Horus.

"Rapid scaling."

Come your palm-sized Horus turns into a behemoth, and Scott climbs its broad back with Rimbaud and the frame.

"Next we'll walk through the air."

After Helena came up, Scott unfurled the magic barrier again and cast a spell on Horus, himself, and Rimbaud.

"Take off!"

At Scott's command, Horus spread his wings and flew.

It's still a boring journey.

Especially after entering the Antarctic continent, you will see the white glaciers and snow fields, and at first you will feel that there are spectacular wonders everywhere, but after watching for a long time, you will feel that time flies too slowly.

Although there was no live streaming, Scott still used [Magic Mirror] to record the experience along the way.

Horus rode the wind over the Weddell Sea, over the Ronny Ice Shelf and the Ellsworth Mountains, across the Antarctic Mountains, and finally cultivated close to the ice field where the South Pole is located.

Even when he checked the Lacey map in his hand, it took Scott more than half a day to find the location represented on the map.

It is also the entrance to the secret realm of "Jotunheim".

"Fly straight down, Horus."

Looking at the huge glacial fissure below, Scott ordered.

Horus let out a roar, harnessed the wind, and flew down the deep, bottomless chasm.

As the light dimmered as he went deeper, Scott pulled out the magic lamp again.

He constantly perceives his surroundings and directs the direction of Horus.

"Turn left ahead!"

"Keep going down!"

"Turn right, I feel the magic fluctuate!"

"That's it!"

Scott pointed to what appeared to be a naturally formed platform on the ice wall.

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

"Good work, Horus."

Scott breaks the illusion spell and returns Horus to the [Eye of Odin] space.

"There's no sky in sight here." Helena looked up.

Scott took a few steps forward, sensing the hidden fluctuations of magic on the ice wall in front of him, and raised his wand.

As he recited an awkward incantation, runes of the first knowledge of rune appeared on the ice wall, opening a circular spatial passage.

"It's okay to go in."

He took care of it and walked into the passageway.

With a flash in his eyes, he came to a vast wasteland.

It's not all thick glaciers like the outside world, and there are a lot of rocks that are not covered in snow and ice as far as the eye can see.

These rocks are huge, like hills.

In the midst of this, Scott only felt that he had become extraordinarily small.

"This alien space seems to be extraordinarily large."

Helena floated a little higher, wanting to see further.

"I can't see the boundaries of the wasteland, I don't know if it's really boundless, or if it's an illusion caused by a false view."

Scott understood what she meant.

One possibility is that the wasteland is really big.

Another possibility is that it's actually not that big, like the in-game vista map, an optical illusion.

Scott also transforms into a peregrine falcon and takes to the skies with Rimbaud.

They flew around the neighborhood and didn't see any buildings.

Returning to the ground, he said to Helena and the Ravenclaw in the painting: "This is not like the 'Niflheim' secret realm with some clear goals, the first thing to do is to investigate. ”

Rimbaud asked, "Do you want to summon a flock of crows?" ”

Scott shook his head, "The crows may not be able to adapt to the climate here, and they won't be able to get food here. ”

It was impossible for him to come up with his own rations to feed a large flock of crows.

He waved his wand at the rocks beside him.

"Broken bones!"

The two-man tall rock was reduced to splinters.

Then, the light of the Transfiguration Spell flashed, and all the rubble turned into crows.

"I'll be in command of you, Rimbaud."

Scott handed over command of the crow flock to Rimbaud.

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

"Leave it to me."

Rimbaud answered, and "quacked" at the crows.

When the crows dispersed, Scott entered the [Eye of Odin] space with ravens, frames, and ghosts.

Under the false sunlight in the other space, Scott took off his thick down jacket and couldn't help but stretch.

"Let's go get some rest."

The Ravenclaw tutor in the painting said with a smile.

"You haven't been able to get a good night's sleep in days."

Scott nodded.

Indeed, at this time, being illuminated by the warm "sunshine", he felt that fatigue was coming in one after another.

Back in the wooden villa where he had cultivated in another dimension, Scott hung a Ravenclaw frame in his living room.

"Well, then, I'll go rest, Helena, and take care of yourself."

"Go ahead."

Helena was clearly interested in the furnishings and décor of the house, and didn't look at Scott.

Scott went back to the bedroom alone, took a shower with his sleepiness, and after changing into his pajamas, he couldn't wait to fall asleep on the bed.

He slept very soundly this night, and slept for more than ten hours.

When he got up, he made himself a sumptuous meal.

Of course, it is all semi-finished product processing.

After a hearty meal, Scott sat lazily on the sofa in the villa garden, not wanting to move.

"Why don't you go out and have a look?"

Helena floated over.

"Maybe the ravens have returned?"

"Nope."

Scott remained motionless.

"They're the product of my Transfiguration, and I can roughly sense their state."

Helena was a little surprised, "Could it be that the area of the secret realm is really large?" ”

"Maybe." Scott didn't know the specifics either.

"Let me go out and have a look." Rimbaud, who was standing on a branch next to him, said.

"It's fine."

Scott raised his hand to hold the [Eye of Odin], and the gem shimmered, and Rimbaud's figure vanished.

Helena said: "This time it may be like in the 'Niforheim' secret realm, you have to face multiple trials to get what you want. ”

"I'm not afraid of trials." Scott smiled and said, "The test of the secret realm will not be more dangerous than that of 'Avalon'. ”

"I'm also curious about 'Avalon'."

Helena seems to be completely ambitious, and wants to mix everywhere.

"I asked some of the older ghosts that existed, but unfortunately no one could tell what was going on with Avalon."

"Maybe it's also a different space opened up by ancient wizards, just like the secret realm opened up by the 'Agaste' school."

Scott's not-so-serious guesses.

"Who said that only the wizards of the 'Agaste' school can invent stable spatial supermagic."

"That's right." Helena nodded, "After all, there are a lot of magic involving space in modern times, and the development of magic is traceable......"

At this point, she asked Scott, "Since you've met Archmage Merlin, why don't you just ask him?" ”

"Him?"

Scott's expression was a little indescribable.

"He won't tell me."

He's pretty sure of that.

Merlin doesn't mind giving him some help, but he won't give him the chips to win.

After all, the archmage hated a certain future the most, and what he feared the most was the boredom of seeing his head at a glance.

He won't mistreat in order to make the "plot more exciting", and thank God.

Hearing Scott's affirmative tone, Helena was stunned for a moment, but she also believed his judgment.

"Then you're on your own."

"There's nothing wrong with being on your own." Scott smiled, "It's better to be more grounded." ”

He stood up.

"This is the end of the break."

He returned to his living room, removed the Ravenclaw frame, and returned to the alchemy lab, where he honed his alchemy under the guidance of his Ravenclaw mentor.

Another day passed, and Scott sensed that the crows who were exploring the secret realm were reunited, and left the [Eye of Odin] space and returned to the secret realm.

"Gaga...... Quack ......"

Rimbaud stood on top of a huge rock.

"Quack ......"

The crows are flying up and down around it, reporting to it in turn.

Scott stood under the rock and looked up, not making a sound.

After a long time, the crows finally stopped reporting their work.

Scott couldn't help but rub his ears.

"Scott!"

Rimbaud flew down from the boulder.

"It's been roughly explored, and this secret realm has a boundary."

"I guess so." Scott was not surprised, "If it is really boundless, wouldn't the new world that the 'Agasste' school wants to create already succeed?" ”

"That direction."

Rimbaud pointed to the side with his wings.

"On the map border in that direction, there is a large entrance to the dungeon, of course, you can't see it from here."

"Oh?"

Scott's eyes lit up.

"Haven't you found anything in other directions?"

Rimbaud shook his head.

Scott clapped, "Then let's head to the dungeon over there." ”

Scott, who didn't want to act on his own, drew his wand and pointed it on the boulder next to him.

The boulder quickly turned into a small house.

The magic circuit on the surface of the house flickered, and the heavy little house floated in the air like a balloon.

Scott waved his wand in disobedience, increasing the size of the crows.

Finally, he put the reins on the giant crows, and the long rope connected to the floating house.

"A new journey begins!"

With a slight leap, with the blessing of the floating cloak, he jumped into the door of the small house.

[Magic Mirror] and Ravenclaw's frame, which had been running the video, also followed, and he floated into the small house.

Finally, Helena and Rimbaud.

"Let's go! Ga! ”

Rimbaud shouted, and the crows dragged the little house forward.

"You can always think of a way to be lazy." Helena looked out the window at the bleak landscape.

Scott sat on the soft single sofa and said confidently: "Laziness is the ladder of human progress." ”

Helena smiled, there was no topic of gifts.

After a few more moments, she spoke again, "If we want to create new worlds, an environment like the Uncharted Realm will definitely not work. ”

"I know." Scott nodded in agreement.

Whether it is the "Niforheim" secret realm or the "Jotunheim" secret realm where they are now, the environment is very harsh.

It's either snow or rocks, and there are no creatures that can survive in it for a long time, not even plants.

Helena added, "The [Eye of Odin] space is suitable, but it's too small. ”

"Maybe they're faced with a trade-off?" Scott speculated that "a large area of heterogeneous space will lose the possibility of building an ecosystem." ”

Helena said, "This means that you must completely surpass the wizards of the 'Agaste' school in terms of spatial super-magic in order to have the possibility of creating a new world." ”

"That's why I said, it's not something that can be done in the short term."

Scott knows that ideals have a long way to go.

The alien space he can open up now is not only small, but also nothing.

And......

"That's not a feat that one person can accomplish."
