Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 514
The scorching flame storm swept past, the gray mist receded, and Scott also took this opportunity to roughly see the interior space of the gate.

Unlike the Ice Palace's outer walls, which are all made of ice and snow, the walls of the hall behind the door are made of stone.

The surrounding walls are engraved with dense patterns of ghosts with rough brushwork.

What's weird is that when the flames licked the wall, a creepy howl could be heard.

Seeing this situation, Helena's expression moved slightly.

"In Norse mythology, Niflheim is a country of ice and snow, and also the country of fog."

"It is the home of the sick and old dead, and the people who live there are called Nibelungen."

"It is also where Hvagmir, the First Fountain of the World, resides."

Scott understood what she meant.

Perhaps the wizards of the [Asgard] school in the past built this ice palace according to the mythical "Niflheim".

Knowing this, they might be able to get some kind of clue about this ice palace from the legend.

At this time, under Scott's absolute control, the flame storm has formed a ring-shaped wall of fire, vacating the center of the hall.

Scott walked forward while manipulating the firewall.

Since his whole body was protected by a magic barrier, he passed through the fire wall without any scruples.

Helena also followed him.

Scott walked across the open ground and into the depths of the hall.

Here, he waved his wand again, causing all the lines of fire to converge again, forming several huge fireballs floating in the air around him.

As the flames gathered, most of the interior of the hall was once again shrouded in gray mist.

Only where Scott was, the gray mist seemed afraid to move forward because of the deterrence of several fireballs.

Scott ignored what was behind him, but watched ahead with Helena and Ravenclaw in the painting.

Standing in front of them was a long, curved wall with twelve door openings neatly arranged on the wall.

There are no real doors in these door openings, but the gray fog is still surging in the door openings, and the light is opaque, making it difficult for people to see the situation inside.

Of course, the real problem is not the gray fog that blocks the light, but which channel to choose to move on.

"'Hwagmir' is the world's first spring, and the endless spring water supplies 12 big rivers, which are collectively called 'Elivagar'."

Helena made another guess.

"If the twelve passages are a metaphor for 'Elivagar', then they all lead to the same destination, which is 'Hvagmir'."

"Are different routes leading to the same goal?" Scott nodded, "That is to say, we can choose a channel to enter at will."

Helena added: "But also be careful, it is said that there is a river in the river that flows out of this river, the water is very poisonous."

"Choose one out of twelve?"

It seems that you have to be very unlucky to choose the poisonous one.

Scott claimed he wasn't unlucky, so he wasn't worried.

"In that case, leave everything to luck."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, waved his wand lightly, and used arithmetic divination for the first time without knowing the known conditions.

"Rules of arithmetic."

"Digital display."

The golden light drew a total of 1 numbers from [12] to [12] in the air, and then the numbers kept colliding and disappearing, leaving only the number [2].

Scott waved the number [2] away.

"Then, let's go through the second passage."

He lifted his foot and walked to the second passage.

"Let me go in and take a look first."

As Helena spoke, she took the initiative to float forward.

Scott did not stop her from actively exploring the way, but stood still and waited.

It's just that Helena went away for a long time this time, and after almost half an hour, she still didn't come back.

At this time, Scott was already a little anxious.

On the contrary, Ravenclaw in the painting is still very calm.

"Don't worry," she said, "I told you nothing can really hurt a ghost."

Scott frowned, "But this is 'Niflheim', the legendary kingdom of the dead."

Ravenclaw emphasized, "It's just 'Niflheim' built by ancient wizards according to myths and legends."

Scott nodded.

After waiting for another half an hour, Helena finally came back.

"There are some obstacles along the way," she told Scott, "but if it's you, you should be fine."

"What's the hindrance?" Scott asked.

"They're like yin corpses, but they're completely different from ordinary yin corpses."

Helena's complexion was a little ugly, as if she was disgusted by those special ghosts.

"Their bodies are extraordinarily tall, as if they were transformed from giants, and..."

"Although they can't feel the temperature, I think they seem to be carrying terrible poison and cold air, because their bodies are festering badly, but they are all wrapped in ice armor."

"Could it be that I won the lottery when I chose one out of twelve?"

Scott couldn't believe it.

"No, I shouldn't be so unlucky."

Helena smiled and said, "Then let me look at another way."

With that said, she turned around and entered the third passage.

This time she came back quickly and only went for about ten minutes.

She smiled and said: "There are also those disgusting monsters on this road. Congratulations, it seems that you are not unlucky."

"That's good."

Scott breathed a sigh of relief and walked directly towards the second passage.

After walking a few steps, he stopped again and turned to look at Helena.

"You'd better hide in the magic barrier, Helena. Although those things can't really touch you, judging by your reaction, they seem very disgusting."

"Oh yes."

Helena couldn't wait to pass through the magic barrier and float to Scott's side.

"Sorry, I really can't accept passing through their bodies."

she said, frowning.

"I've been avoiding them just now, but fortunately they seem to be sleeping."

"It doesn't matter."

Scott understood very well, and he didn't want to touch that kind of disgusting thing.

While speaking, he manipulated two fireballs to float in front of him to open the way, letting the other fireballs float on his sides and behind him.

After doing all this, he felt that it was still not safe, so he released Fire Crow Edgar, and cast a bubble head curse on himself to cover his mouth and nose.

In order to release Edgar from the magic barrier, he first enlarged Edgar's size directly, then enlarged the original magic barrier, and then created a smaller magic barrier in it, and finally made the outer one bigger. The magic barrier of the layer is cancelled.

In this way, Edgar was outside the magic barrier again.

Although it is very cumbersome, it also avoids being exposed to the toxins that may exist inside the ice palace.

This is also thanks to the fact that Scott has become much stronger now, so that he can complete such a complicated operation.

Next, without Scott's instructions, Edgar directly took over the control of several fireballs, and then took the initiative to fly forward.

The two fireballs in front of Scott merged directly into the flames around it.

As Edgar, covered in raging flames, flew forward, the gray fog receded one after another.

　Let’s do this first, there will be a new chapter of codewords in the early morning, please read it again tomorrow morning.
