The sky is gray, oppressive gray.

A few wisps of clouds hung on it, like ribbons, wrapped around a crescent.

There was no wind, but the clouds were swaying slightly.

Ike looked at it for a long time, and it could only show that it was magical.

Returning to your eyes, there was a large expanse of land composed entirely of gravel and gravel. It's bare, not a little lifeless. Looking down, there is a huge reef that exists very abruptly at your feet, and behind you is the calm dark water. If you look left and right, you can't see the edge at all, and your eyes are full of hideous and rugged reefs.

With a wave of his wand, a ball of light flashed from the tip of the wand and slammed forward several meters before being extinguished by Ike.

This is a necessary experiment, and the results are good, and there is no jerkiness in the casting.

Enough is enough.

Ike is not entangled in the direction, and has already explored many ruins, and feels that he has a lot of experience, and the direction of the outside world in this kind of place is useless, and the only person who can believe in it is himself.

Leaving behind a towering stone tower made entirely of stones, Ike took a step straight in the direction in front of him.

This sandy area is very large, and I walked forward for a long time, until I turned back and could only faintly see the stone tower, and the scenery in front finally changed. With a flick of Ike's wand, another stone tower rose from the ground, and then moved forward.

At his feet, Ike stopped.

The right foot tentatively stepped forward, and as soon as it touched it, it was retracted. Rubbing it on the ground, a black mud was swallowed by the sand in the blink of an eye. Looking at it again, the yellow sand and the black mud are clearly distinguished.

Ike's brow furrowed, the swamp full of black mud in front of him was obviously abnormal.

From the moment he entered Avalon, Ike had maintained a line of protection. And just now, the moment his right foot stepped on the black mud, the protection on his foot disappeared!

"This hellish place actually bans demons!"

Ike cursed, and simply vented the frustration in his heart. At such times, any venting is useless. The existence of the black mud only abolished Ike's method of stowing through magic, but there was also a way through the swamp.

“…… The king killed Mordred, and was mortally wounded himself......"

“…… Bedwell obeyed the promise and threw the king's sword into the lake, and suddenly a white hand reached out from the lake to catch the king's sword, and sank into the lake with the king's symbol......"

“…… Vivien appeared, and she was flanked by Nimmy and Morgan Le Fay......"

“…… The nymphs of the lake surrounded the dying king and sent him to the little black boat summoned by Morgan Le Fay......"

“…… The boat gently rocked, carrying the great king, across the sea, through the swamps and dense forests, back to Gensokyo, far from the world......"

Ike walked along the edge of the swamp, whispering a song that had been passed through the wizarding world for a long time, and that contained the secret to passing through the swamp.

It's as simple as finding the little black boat.

This needs to be found little by little, the magic of Morgan Le Fay, the fairy of the lake, calling the boat, has not been handed down, in fact all the magic about King Arthur and the fairy of the lake, or even Avalon, has not been passed down. And Ike tried it just now, and the Flying Charm didn't work.

Also, how can magic created after the medieval fault be useful?

Ike walked silently, drinking water when he was thirsty, eating when he was hungry, and sleeping when he was tired and sleepy. He was well prepared, and the small box in his pocket contained enough food and water for one person to consume for half a year.

Because of magic, they don't spoil.

A few days later, four days to be exact, Ike finally saw a change on the edge of the monotonous swamp: a pitch-black log poked abruptly at the edge of the swamp, and around it, five identical logs stretched out in two neat columns towards the swamp.

“…… The swamps of Avalon have a rare property where all magic cannot be effective......"

“…… We searched for two days and finally found a small and humble pier. Godric says it must have been built by the fairies of the lake, but I think it's more reliable for the Green Knights, if they existed......"

“…… We waited a few more days at the docks, until the crescent moon in the sky turned into a full moon, and we finally waited for the ship that could pass through the swamp......"

“…… As the legend goes, the ship was black and small, but surprisingly stable, sailing on the swamp without feeling a single bump......"

“…… Godric was the first to jump into the boat, and stood at the bow, shouting loudly, as if the boat under his feet had been the great ship of the Vikings, and he himself had become the captain......"

“…… Helga was the second, shouting after Godric. She is the only one who will echo Godric, and only she will find Godric's behavior exciting, and I will only feel naïve. As for Salazar, he would never get involved in these things......"

“…… The boat was very smooth, but I saw Salazar's brow furrowed from the moment he got on the boat. Asked him, he just shook his head, only his brow furrowed even tighter......"

“…… Seeing that he had been staring at the pitch-black mud of the swamp around him, could there be any danger? But until we passed through the swamp, nothing happened......"

Thinking back to the contents of the Ravenclaw manuscript, Ike was sure that the six logs in front of him were the docks that the Big Four had found, but a thousand years had passed, and the docks had been swallowed up by the swamp.

Ike didn't think much of it, after all, when the Big Four came here a thousand years ago, there seemed to be no one left in Avalon. This is another thousand years later, and some changes are quite normal.

What's more, the point now is that Ike simply doesn't know how long he's going to have to wait here. Looking up at the moon that hung in the sky forever, a few days passed, and it didn't seem to change at all.

He simply stopped on the shore.

In order to live more comfortably, Ike set up a tent and waited quietly. It just so happens that I take advantage of this time to make a simple summary and think about something.

Like, what you saw in the sky of Gloucester that day......

Time seems to have changed since entering Avalon, and it is a completely different feeling from being outside. Two days have passed, and the crescent moon in the sky has not changed at all. But on the third day, it suddenly became smaller.

And so for a few more days, and then one day it got bigger. I thought it would become a full moon the next time it changed, but it disappeared directly.

It changed twice, until Ike got a little impatient, and finally at a certain moment, the moon in the sky suddenly turned into a perfect circle.

The bright moonlight illuminated all of Avalon for a moment, and also dispersed the few swirling clouds. Ike quickly packed up his tent and sundries, and looked into the depths of the swamp in the bright moonlight.

Waiting, waiting, and finally, a relieved smile appeared on his lips.

In the distance, deep in the swamp, a small black boat was slowly approaching the shore.

As Ravenclaw remembers, it's smooth.
