The red light hit the stone slab with a dull sound, muddy water splashed down his legs, and William gasped twice, finally relieving his irritability.

After venting his anger, William stepped forward to take the slate, after all, it was an object that he had spent a lot of effort finding, and he planned to take it in his hands and study it carefully.

If you look closely, where is there still the shadow of a stone slab in the small puddle? Only a withered branch remained, floating in the filthy muddy water.

William sensed that something was wrong, and quickly turned around, and saw a sneaky young man taking the eight stone slabs on the ground into his arms.

"Avada suo!" William judged that the stunned young man did not belong to the Eternal Night, and in a fit of rage, he wanted to take the thief's life.

Joel was prepared, he quickly put away the eight stone slabs, and then waved his wand to use the summoning spell to conjure a silver shield, the silver shield could not completely resist the attack of the killing curse, but bought Joel time to dodge sideways.

He dodged to the side and back, and the turquoise killing curse flew in front of him, hitting a large tree, and the branches and leaves of the originally lush and lush tree were quickly withered after being hit by the life-seeking curse, and the trunk decayed and aged, and finally lost its vitality, unable to support the weight of the entire tree, and fell down heavily.

Joel's movements were extremely fluid, dodging the spell and turning his body directly, trying to use the Phantom Shifting Charm to leave the forest.

William, however, flew forward like a madman, reaching out and grabbing the corner of Joel's robe at the last moment as his apparition left.

The space distorted, absorbing the bodies of the two of them, and the woods regained their calm.

The Hardangerfjord in western Norway is a beautiful and idyllic place.

A crack opened in the shore space, Joel and William fell to the ground unharmed, William's previous actions were quite reckless, he rashly pulled the corner of Joel's robe can easily trigger the split mechanism of phantom transformation, and it is also common for the body to be in different places, this time he was not injured purely because of luck.

As soon as the two landed on the ground, the battle kicked off, Joel thought that the level of dueling was not low now, but when he met William, he could only defend passively, from Durmstrang he has a deep study of dark arts, all kinds of weird and inexplicable spells make Joel unable to guard against it, and more importantly, William does not defend at all in the duel, he uses all his energy in the stormy attack, and is a battle maniac alive.

"Stinky boy, hand over the slate, I'll leave you a whole corpse!" William obviously also found that Joel was not his opponent, laughed arrogantly, bloodthirsty red flashed in his eyes, the corners of his mouth grinned in a crazy arc, the wand in his right hand lay horizontally and his left hand gently pressed against the tip of the wand, a silver circle of light flashed out, and he spent a lot of magic power to arrange this anti-phantom shift prohibition, in order to make Joel in a catastrophe.

Joel used the Iron Armor Charm to block a black mist shot out by William, the fog hit the transparent barrier of the Iron Armor Charm, making a piercing sizzling sound, the black fog is extremely corrosive, Joel looked at it with a shock, if he let this black fog stick to his body, it would be repaid.

"If you want me to give it to you!" Without hesitation, he threw a stone tablet from his bosom and threw it at William.

William is not stupid, he will not go a second time when he has been on it once, and a light discrimination spell hit the stone slab, and the stone slab revealed its original form - another dead branch.

He snorted, his eyes reddening, and the spell he fired from his wand became more vicious.

Joel was a little helpless, he was confident that the object transformation technique could not be seen through when the magic level was not much different, but unfortunately William had a big advantage in magic as an adult wizard, Joel had outstanding magic qualifications, but he was only 14 years old, and his body was not fully developed, and the magic power storage in William's body was not enough when he became an adult.

Another killing curse was blocked by the silver shield summoned by Joel out of thin air, and William licked his lips frantically, this kid was too hungry for him, it was the first time he had experienced such a smooth attack after graduating from Durmstrang, and most of his fellow Eternal Nightmen simply couldn't hold out for so long in his hands.

Joel's mana is draining rapidly under William's strange spells, and he must find a way to escape.

The Iron Armor Charm swept in front of him, and Joel pulled the fake stone slabs out of his bosom, throwing them into the air, waving his wand to make a semicircle in the air, and the stone slabs turned into ravens.

This is a modification of his flock of birds spell, which changes the original appearance of ordinary sparrows into ravens, similar to his Animagus form.

The ravens surrounded Joel's body and let out a unique deep and empty quack, the Iron Armor Charm did not last long, William's Drilling Heart Curse pierced through the Iron Armor Charm like a bamboo, and the ravens scattered in all directions, and the place where Joel had been standing was empty.

"Damn it!" William roared loudly, knowing that Joel had turned himself into a raven and fled among the birds, and he tried to shoot two Drill Heart Spells, but neither of them hit the real body.

He rolled up his sleeve, revealing the tattoo-like mark on his left forearm, two black wands crossed each other, and he stabbed the wand of his right hand on the Eternal Nightman mark, the hot pain that swept through his body, causing him to tremble unconsciously.

"Stinky boy, I will never let you escape from the palm of my hand, I will never ......" William's face was hideous, and his originally delicate face now looked like a hunting beast.

Joel managed to escape using Transfiguration and flew through the sky for two hours before landing in a small town and entering the hotel as an adult again.

The escape was thrilling, and although Joel escaped unharmed, he left his suitcase with the Traceless Stretching Charm in the forest, and it didn't contain anything of value, just some kroner (the local currency of Norway) and gold galleons, and most importantly, a few school robes.

He had no doubt that William would return to the forest to find the suitcase, which meant that his identity as a Hogwarts student was exposed to William.

With William's frenzy, it was only a matter of time before he found himself.

Another big hidden danger.

Joel calmed down and pulled out nine stone slabs from his bosom, which were not large, one was only about four inches long and wide, and he put them together in turn.

Asgard (Aesir Country), Atrium (Human Country), Helheim (Land of the Dead), Niflheim (Land of Mist), Muspelheim (Land of Fire), Jotunheim (Land of Giants), Alfheim (Land of Elves), Swatheim (Land of Dwarven Gnomes), Warner Heim (Land of Warners).

When Joel placed the last stone tablet, the Valhalla of Asgard, to the top, the World Tree formed again, and unlike the previous imitation he had made with Transfiguration, this time he saw a sunken fingerprint appear in the empty space under the stone tablet of Niflheim (the Land of Mist), the third root of the World Tree.

After Joel made sure that the door of the hotel room was locked, he held his breath and stretched out his finger and poked it on his fingerprint.

The magic in his body was surging and churning like the sea, flowing down his fingertips to the World Tree on the stone slab.

The pale blue magic is like a liquid, climbing up little by little along the roots of the tree, flowing through the countries on the branches of the trees, lighting up the stone paintings, giving them color and light, blooming with their own brilliant light.

The grey faces of the nine maidens in front of Valhalla became ruddy and vibrant, the spears they held shone brightly, and their eyes softened with anticipation.

By this time, the mana in his body had been completely drained, the slate did not seem to be satisfied, and the speed of mana absorption did not slow down in the slightest, Joel was forced to open the system panel and buy a bottle of mana recovery potion from the mall for 100 points.

Pouring the pale blue potion into his abdomen, Joel felt the depleted mana in his body surge again, and he returned to his full state once again.

Once again, the slate drained his magic, and now the figures on the slate were able to move their bodies freely, and even the white horses under the nine maidens of the Valhalla raised their hooves and sprinkled joy.

At the top of the World Tree, Valhalla, a lifelike golden-crowned chicken appeared, and a large black dragon appeared on its fingerprints, shaking its body and biting at the third root, trying to drain the nutrients of the World Tree.

A system prompt appears: The World Tree Slate Puzzle (9/9) to the Uncharted Realm is complete, and the World Tree is officially built.

Joel was extremely weak, and the sleepiness of a sleepless night, a fierce battle, and two attempts to drain his magic power had left him in a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, it was dark again, Joel touched his stomach, he was hungry after two days of not eating, and planned to put away the World Tree slate and go downstairs to eat something.

But the World Tree was gone, and Joel searched the room for a while before discovering that the World Tree was actually in his head.

With a perfect-level Occlumency, he could see the state of the World Tree in his mind, it was tall and green, it seemed to be in good health, the nine kingdoms were still quietly waiting on the branches, and the black dragon at the bottom was still eating the roots of the tree tirelessly.

How do I complete an Ancient Mystery quest? Joel looked at the World Tree in his mind, his face confused.

He tried to bring his consciousness closer to the World Tree, but was blocked out without any suspense.

Joel was puzzled, he packed up and took a shower, and then ran downstairs for a light meal, he had wanted to stay in Oslo for a while to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but the suitcase was lost, the money he had left after paying for the room was not much, and the threat of the battle maniac William had to cancel his travel plans.

Three days later, Joel returned to his home in Godric's Hollow.

It's Christmas Eve, Godric's Valley is brightly lit, and the students who have gone out to travel and the busy social animals have returned home to celebrate the festive season.

Joel sat on the chaise longue on the balcony of the study on the second floor, looking out the window at the joy and peace of every house, and felt extremely lonely, this loneliness had been carried over from his previous life, but fortunately he had become accustomed to it, and only felt melancholy during the reunion festival.

He made himself a pot of tea, then cooked a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and steamed a pot of rice, which tasted delicious with the smoked ham he had purchased this afternoon.

The owl Bobby was still busy outside, sending out the owner's gifts one by one, and did not return until midnight, and Joel sat by the window and waited for it, which flattered the little owl, and hurriedly handed over the dead mouse in his mouth, wanting to treat his master.

"Didn't I say don't eat dead rats in the future?" Joel's head was full of black lines, and he threw away the dead mouse in Bobby's mouth, "Isn't owl food fragrant?" Let's try this new variety, I went to Diagon Alley this afternoon to buy it for you, chicken flavor, crunchy. ”

He opened a bag of pet food and stuffed a handful for Bobby.

It was tired from the day, and it was the time to eat a lot of food, and at this time, it didn't care about the problem of dead mice, and the sharp beak clicked the owl food in Joel's palm.

Joel's other hand hurriedly rubbed the soft feathers on Bobby's back, and the little owl was burying his head in hard work, and he didn't have time to take care of his master, so he directly let Joel stroke it refreshed.

It feels a lot better than Tom's tiger, but it lacks a bit of muscle.

Joel smashed, smashed, mouthed.

The only tavern in Godric's Hollow was full to-night, where men and women gathered to sing and dance, and many others played chess.

It's just that the excitement is theirs, I don't have anything.

Joel misses Helis more and more at this time, her long soft and bright hair, her warm and slender palms, her gentle and watery gaze, and her soft and long body.

Poppy finally had her fill and leaned on Joel's shoulder to comb her feathers to make herself look prettier.

Joel sighed and came back to his senses to put Bobby on the bed.

"Sleeping together tonight?" Joel asked this question, and then saw the owl's frightened expression, it used all its strength to break free from the quilt, and it was still burping in impatience, and it looked simple and cute.

"Alright," Joel said with a lack of interest, "I don't force you to stay in the cage." ”

He put Bobby in an iron cage, turned out the lights, jumped into the cold bed, warmed the bed with his body, wrapped himself in a caterpillar, and only fell asleep when the temperature in the bed got hotter.

Early the next morning, Joel lifted the quilt with some anticipation and sat cross-legged on the bed to unpack this year's Christmas presents.

He only told a few friends about his new address, so there weren't many gifts in the house, and many of the gifts sent by his classmates were supposed to be under the beds in the Hogwarts dormitory.

Eddie, knowing that Joel had to go for a morning run every morning, gave him a set of Nike-made sneaker suits; Alan gave a copy of "The Innovative Potions of the Twentieth Century", and Sergey gave a copy of "Ancient Magic Script: The Origin of the Runi Script".

Autumn and Cedric's gift is a bottle of ink that claims to never fade, presumably a toy used for mischief.

Helis's gift was left unopened, and Joel deliberately left it at the end.
