The secret realm of Jotunheim is not boundless, but it is vast enough.

Scott rode the "flying house" pulled by the crows, and it took about ten hours to reach the edge of the secret realm.

After the "flying house" stopped, Scott got up and walked to the door and jumped down, the cloak fluttering behind him, carrying him to the ground lightly.

The barren landscape ahead is still the same, and it looks like it can move on.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he immediately touched an invisible wall.

"Quack...... Ga ......"

One of the crows in the flock crows crowed a few times.

Rimbaud acted as an interpreter, "It said that the entrance to the dungeon was over there. ”

Scott nodded, looking in the direction Rimbaud indicated with his wings.

Over there, countless strangely shaped rocks stand tall, looking like a rocky forest from a distance.

Scott drew his wand.

He first landed the hut and then lifted the reins from the crows.

"Gah!"

The crow flew straight above the stone forest.

"Let's go, let's take a look."

Helena floated after the raven.

Scott waved his wand again, letting Ravenclaw's frame and [Magic Mirror] float around him, and followed.

After entering the stone forest, the light suddenly dimmed a lot.

Scott took out the magic lamp and held it in his hand before continuing on.

There is snow and ice that has accumulated for many years under your feet, and it makes a creaking sound when you step on it.

After walking for about twenty minutes, he saw Helena's back.

Scott quickened his pace and walked to Helena's side, and suddenly his eyes suddenly brightened.

In front of them was a large circular crater with a ruined pyramid rising at the bottom.

Looking at the pile of broken walls, an ancient and desolate aura came to my face.

Scott looked around and saw a stone staircase that led directly to the bottom of the pit.

The stone steps are very long, and most of them are hidden in shadows.

Helena said, "Let me go down and have a look." ”

"It's fine." Scott walked towards the stone steps, "Let's go down together, let's take a look first." ”

He walked around the edge of the crater for a few minutes, and stepped up the stone steps downward.

On closer inspection, Scott noticed that the stone steps were rudimentary and narrow, almost allowing for one person.

Fortunately, Helena doesn't need to take up space.

As Scott continued downward, he gradually stepped into the shadows where the light could not shine directly.

At this point, the stone steps below began to show more damage and fractures.

"There seem to be traces of a battle here."

Scott crouched down with the magic lamp in his hand, carefully observing the marks on the stone steps.

"But it's too old for me to be sure."

He turned his head to look at the Ravenclaw in the painting.

"What do you say, Mentor?"

"Traces of the battle, indeed." "It looks like something happened here." ”

Helena also said: "It is indeed a little abnormal, the ice palace in the secret realm of 'Niforheim' is intact, but it is very bankrupt here. ”

"Hopefully what I'm looking for is still there."

Scott stood up and continued to walk down.

Once at the bottom of the crater, Scott confirmed their guess even more.

"These buildings are not naturally weathered and decayed."

He stood on the main stone-paved road, looking at the ruins of buildings and crumbling statues of giants on both sides of the road.

Only man-made destruction can make this place like this.

Obviously, there was a battle here, and it was a fierce battle, and a lot of things were badly damaged.

Scott didn't stop much on the road, and continued to move on, to the bottom of the pyramid, looking at the collapsed stone gate at the entrance to the pyramid.

Although there was no door to block it, he could only see that it was pitch black because the light could not reach the tower.

Helena then proposed, "I'll go first and see if there's no danger before you act."

This time Scott didn't refuse.

"Then I'm bothering you."

Helena nodded, and floated straight inside the gate, disappearing into the darkness.

Instead of standing still and waiting, Scott went to the ruins on the other side to take a closer look, hoping to find some clues.

But after looking around, he couldn't see anything with text symbols, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

He stands on top of the ruins and talks to the Ravenclaw in the painting.

"Not to mention the battles that took place, I don't understand, what is the point of them building these buildings and statues?"

Although the statues were dilapidated, it could be seen that they were not carved with gods, but with giants.

The appearance of these giant statues is much more rugged and hideous than that of Ymir, which is in line with the description of "Jotunheim" in mythology.

Other than that, it doesn't seem to make much sense.

But Scott didn't quite believe that the wizards of the "Agasde" school would do something meaningless.

"Maybe the answer can only be found in that pyramid." Ravenclaw said.

There were no text symbols inside the ruins that could be referred to, and even Ravenclaw could not answer Scott's question at this time.

Scott turned his head to look over the pyramid and saw Helena coming out of the door.

He hurriedly jumped down from the ruins and met him.

At that moment, another translucent white figure floated out of the shadows behind Helena.

"Mother, Scott." Helena said, "This is Mr. Jeffrey. ”

"Hello."

Mr. Jeffrey greeted them gently.

He is a middle-aged ghost, dressed in an old wizard's costume and with a curly beard on his chin.

"Hello, Mr. Jeffrey."

Scott performed a wizarding ceremony.

Mr. Jeffrey looked at Scott with direct gaze.

"Your name? Age? ”

"My name is Scott? Trollope, 17 years old, sir. ”

"I heard this young lady say that you have inherited the ideals of our 'Agasd'?"

Skod nodded, "Yes, I've been to the 'Tower of Gungnir' and 'Niforheim' secret realms, and have obtained what you left there. ”

As he spoke, he showed Mr. Geoffrey the [Eye of Odin] pendant around his neck, and the [Hewagmir Ring] on his left index finger.

"Do you genuinely agree with our ideals?"

Mr. Jeffrey looked a little excited.

"Are you going to go straight down the path we once dreamed of?"

"Yes."

Scott nodded again.

"I've found some like-minded partners, and we're going to work together to unite more wizards and create a new world with only wizards and magic."

"Good, good."

Mr. Jeffrey laughed happily.

"I can see that you mean it!"

At this moment, tears even flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"I've waited too long for this moment."

Scott didn't bother, and waited until Mr. Jeffrey had calmed down before he asked, "Mr. Jeffrey, can I ask what happened here?" ”

"Here ......"

Mr. Jeffrey looked at the large ruins outside the pyramid with a complicated expression.

"This was our last hiding place."

"A place to hide?" Scott was puzzled, "If it's hiding......"

He gestured to the [Eye of Odin] pendant on his chest.

"Isn't this the better option?"

At least there are mountains and rivers, plants can be grown, and live animals can be raised, which is better than the barren land of "Jotunheim".

"[Eye of Odin]? There is not only one such alien space. ”

Mr. Jeffrey smiled.

"We can hide in this secret realm and let these alternate spaces produce food."

"It's also ......"

Skod nodded his head to indicate understanding.

Mr. Jeffrey began to tell about what happened more than a thousand years ago.

When "Agasd" became a traitor, he was one of several young wizards who fled with the school's research materials.

“…… The others desperately stopped the pursuers, killed the traitors, and the five of us young men escaped from the 'Golden Palace' under the cover of the elders. ”

"We first went to Niflheim, where we left the Legacy Stele and the Guards as planned."

"Eventually, we crossed the ocean to this frozen continent and found Jotunheim."

"The Holy See will never find here."

"We plan to continue our research here and look forward to one day making a comeback and fulfilling our vision."

"After that, we lived here for more than a decade."

"But at the end of the day, there was a disagreement between us."

Ravenclaw says, "Some people want to go back and fulfill their dreams with their own hands, while others hope for an uncertain future." ”

"You're right, lady." Mr. Jeffrey exclaimed, "You are really sharp. ”

Scott asked him, "So, which side are you on?" ”

"Me?" Mr. Jeffrey smiled, "I chose the future. ”

Scott glanced at the ruins again, "You had a conflict because of a disagreement?" ”

Mr. Jeffrey was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Yes, there was a conflict between me and my buddies."

He looked at Scott and spoke in a heavy tone.

"At that time, some people felt that after more than ten years, the outside world must have been safe."

"They want to change their plans, they can't wait to get out of here and get back into the crowd."

"They want to make 'Agasdes' grow again, and they want to fulfill the school's long-standing aspirations."

"But I don't think so."

"A behemoth like the Holy See, more than ten years can't make any changes to it."

"We don't have the strength to compete with the Holy See, we can only pin our hopes on the future."

"But out of the five, I was the only one who chose the future."

Hearing this, Scott understood something.

He looked at Mr. Jeffrey in surprise, "You ......"

"Yes." Mr. Jeffrey confirmed his guess, "I killed them. ”

"Ah......h

Helena exclaimed slightly.

Mr. Jeffrey floated in front of the ruins.

"Because of the fighting between us, this place was destroyed."

"Why?" Helena couldn't help but ask.

"Why kill them?"

Mr. Jeffrey looked back.

"At that time, their desire to leave here was unstoppable."

"I can't watch them all the time and stop them from leaving."

"And once they leave, they risk being caught by the Holy See."

"In that case, all the arrangements of our 'Agaste' school may be exposed to the fellows of the Holy See."

"Killing them is the best option."

Helena said, "You are not sure that someone will succeed in carrying on your ideals in the future. ”

"yes, I'm not sure."

Mr. Jeffrey's tone was calm.

"But even so, I don't want the knowledge that belongs to 'Agaste' to fall into the hands of the Holy See."

At this, a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.

"Maybe they'll use 'Yggdrahir' to create a false paradise."

"That makes me want to gag!"

Scott began, "Judging by your appearance now, you also died in that battle with your companions. ”

"Yes, I killed all four of them, but I didn't last any longer."

Mr. Jeffrey nodded in acknowledgement.

"Because I wanted to see the future, I chose to become a ghost after I died, and I waited here for more than a thousand years."

"I see."

Scott did not comment on Mr. Jeffrey's story about the past.

It's all more than a thousand years old, and whether it's true or not, it doesn't mean anything to him.

All he wanted was that knowledge, and that might take Mr. Jeffrey to lead the way.

"So, is that knowledge still there?" He asked directly, "Am I eligible for that knowledge?" ”

"Show me, Scott."

Mr. Jeffrey said to Scott.

"Show me what you've learned about 'Yggdrasil', as well as 'Gangenir'!"

Scott nodded and raised his wand.

"Yggtrasil!"

The white Initial Rune formed a tree-like pattern that shrouded Mr. Jeffrey's head.

Mr. Jeffrey looked up at the runes and didn't dodge.

With a burst of white light, his figure vanished along with the runes.

After a while, Scott waved his wand again.

"Nidhogg!"

The black initial rune of the rune forms the pattern of a dragon.

The "Black Dragon" opened its mouth to gnaw, breaking open the alien space that Scott had just created.

Mr. Jeffrey reappeared.

"Not bad."

He smiled and applauded.

"Whether it's 'Euctra Hill' or the anti-curse 'Nidhogg', they all have a good grasp of it."

Scott raised his wand again.

"Gungnir."

The golden light flickered.

A fist-sized hole appeared in the skull of the giant statue next to it.

"The flames are blazing!"

"Gungnir!"

"The wind is whirling!"

"Gungnir!"

"Clear water is like a spring!"

"Gungnir!"

"The house is collapsing!"

"Gungnir!"

Scott also demonstrated the "Gangenil" with the four elements of fire, wind, water, and earth as the main body, causing huge secondary damage to the surrounding ruins.

He then put away his wand and looked at Mr. Jeffrey.

"Oh, you're qualified, Scott."

Mr. Jeffrey looked satisfied.

"However, you still have to be careful with the Holy See."

"There is no Holy See anymore." Scott said with a smile.

Mr. Jeffrey's eyes widened, "What you said is true?" ”

"More accurately, the Holy See has long since lost its supernatural powers, and there is no record of wizards and magic. ”

"So what are you waiting for?"

Mr. Jeffrey turned around and floated towards the pyramid.

"Follow me and I'll leave everything to you."

Scott and the Ravenclaw instructor in the painting looked at each other and followed behind Mr. Jeffrey.
