Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 536. 536. Journey to the Other Side of the Earth
Open-air concerts will soon begin.

At first, the audience was just Scott and Luna.

Slowly, more and more wizards were attracted by music.

Even the wizards who were partying in the bar stuck their heads out of the windows.

No one spoke, everyone listened quietly.

Especially when Milton played the cello, the quality of the music suddenly rose several levels.

The peace and joy conveyed by those notes seem to have substance, making people feel relaxed and lazy, like soaking in hot water at a suitable temperature.

Scott couldn't help smiling, too.

Milton's musical magic has improved again.

At the end of the song, there was thunderous applause.

"That's awesome, isn't it?"

Luna also clapped vigorously.

"Of course it's great."

Scott raised his head and inadvertently saw a familiar figure.

It was Milton's father, Mr. Graves.

He stood in a window on the third floor of a hotel, watching Milton enjoying the applause on the stage from afar.

There was also a hooded woman standing beside him, Scott couldn't see her face clearly.

It may be that Scott stared at it for too long, and Mr. Graves noticed it. He moved his eyes and looked at Scott for a few seconds.

He made a "shut up" gesture to Scott, and pulled the lady behind the curtain.

Scott nodded and looked away.

The open-air concert lasted until noon.

Judging from the live performance, the classical music club's performance is undoubtedly very popular.

This Hogwarts music club has also gained a reputation outside the school.

Especially Milton.

The musical magic he performed was magical enough that one couldn't help but want to applaud him.

Scott heard that many wizards were asking for his name.

After the concert, Scott and Luna also returned to Hogwarts.

During lunch time, since most of the students were still lingering in Hogsmeade village, there were not many people eating in the auditorium, mainly the lower grade students who could not go off-campus.

After lunch, Scott took Luna to the crow's territory in the forest.

While Luna and Rimbaud were happily chatting together, Scott began to summon Ymir.

Accompanied by the flowing blue halo, the temperature in the oak forest dropped sharply, and a huge frost giant appeared before his eyes.

"Quack...quack..."

The crows perched on the surrounding oak trees screamed in fright and flew up one after another.

Scott looked up at Ymir and "communicated" with it through the contractual connection.

Things are better than he imagined.

Although Voldemort caused some damage to Ymir at the beginning, Ymir started to repair it automatically after returning to the different space, and it has almost been repaired at this time.

"Is this Ymir?"

Luna walked up to Scott, also looking up at the giant.

"That's the big guy." Rimbaud said, resting on Luna's shoulder, "With my help, Scott got the ring that summoned it from the secret place under the sea."

"You are awesome." Luna praised very much.

Rimbaud proudly raised his head, "Without my help, Scott's adventure would be very difficult."

Scott couldn't help laughing, "Of course, fortunately, I have you as a good friend."

"As long as you know," Rimbaud said loudly.

Scott stretched out his left hand with the ring to let Ymir return to the different space, and at the same time informed Rimbaud, "Then get ready, our next adventure is about to begin again."

"Gah!"

Rimbaud flew up from Luna's shoulder.

"Are we going to Antarctica? That snow-covered continent you speak of!"

"That's right." Scott said, "I must get the rest of the research materials, especially the second half of the advanced part of 'Gungnir'."

Learn the full version of "Gungnir", and when he enters "Avalon", he will also have more confidence.

Luna, "Have you talked to the professors yet?"

Scott, "Going to talk."

Luna, "And what about the rest of 'Babel'?"

Scott, "You tell them after I'm gone."

Luna's expression was a little disapproving, but she nodded.

"I'll be back soon," Scott said with a smile, "maybe before Christmas, maybe before NEWT."

Saying that, he stretched out his hand.

"Let's go, we should go back."

Luna nodded and took his hand.

"Apparation."

Scott led her back to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, and they walked through the Forbidden Forest to the castle.

Saying goodbye to Luna, Scott first came to the principal's office.

Dumbledore was standing alone at the window, looking at the junior students running below the castle.

"You're here, Scott."

He turned his head.

"I heard Harry tell you what happened last night, and you did another amazing thing."

Scott walked to his side, also looking out the window.

"It's mainly because of the help of that big shot, and I was a little reckless, which almost led to the worst result."

Maybe it was his previous success that made him a little arrogant.

Scott, who had already reflected, reflected again.

"But it turned out to be good."

Dumbledore smiled.

"Harry, that child can finally grow up freely, and I, the old man, can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Scott said, "I'm here to ask for leave, Professor."

"Ask for leave……"

Dumbledore turned to look at him, not too surprised.

"When to set off?"

"tomorrow."

"I hope you can come back before NEWT."

"I will."

After negotiating with Dumbledore, Scott went to Professor Flitwick again.

After talking in detail, Professor Flitwick did not stop him.

"Go, Scott, I have a hunch that you will achieve something you have never done before."

With Professor Flitwick's blessing, Scott returned to the Ravenclaw Tower and notified Helena and the Ravenclaw mentor in the painting.

This evening, the celebration dinner was very lively.

Everyone at Hogwarts gathered happily, even Professor Victor and Professor Trelawney, who didn't show up often.

The Classical Music Club and the Toad Choir teamed up again to present a wonderful performance.

Scott did not show any abnormalities, but ate, drank, laughed and made noise with his classmates.

Early the next morning, while the three roommates were still asleep, Scott left the dormitory alone.

He came to the common room and found that besides Helena who was waiting for him as planned, Luna was also there.

"Morning, Scott."

"Luna?"

Luna, with her long hair loose and in a nightgown, was curled up on the sofa with her knees hugged.

Seeing Scott coming down the stairs, she jumped off the sofa and stepped on the carpet with her bare feet.

"Luna has been waiting for you for a while." Helena said with a smile, "They said they were saying goodbye."

"I thought this link was completed yesterday." Scott smiled at Luna.

Luna shook her head, "No, when you embark on an adventurous journey, someone should see you off."

"Thank you."

Scott didn't know what to say.

"Are you going?"

Luna stroked her hair.

"Ah."

"Then...bye."

"Goodbye."

"Everything will be fine."

"You are right."

Scott opened the [Odin's Eye] passage to a different space, allowing Helena to enter.

Then, waving at Luna, he activated the silver snake necklace and disappeared into the thin morning light.

When he came to the crow's territory, Scott let Rimbaud also enter the [Odin's Eye] different space. After that, he changed into a Muggle costume and apparated to London.

In London, Scott first went to apply for a visa, and then began to make big purchases.

First, they hoarded a large amount of food, then clothing and other tools, and finally went to Diagon Alley to buy a batch of potions.

After doing all the preparations, Scott boarded the plane to Argentina, South America.

Depart from London Heathrow Airport, transfer at Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport, travel across half the world, and finally arrive at Buenos Aires Ezeiza International Airport, the capital of Argentina.

The air journey took a total of 17 hours.

Scott did not save money and chose the more comfortable first class.

On the plane, Scott kept looking at the Lacey map in his hand.

Regarding the source of this map, he, who has received the inheritance of the "Asgard" school, already knows it.

This map of Antarctica, which was drawn before Muggles officially discovered Antarctica, was made by wizards of the "Asgard" school.

But this map's depiction of the topography of Antarctica before it was covered by glaciers is only the result of wizards' magical surveys, not what they saw with their own eyes 6000 years ago.

The real hidden secret of this map is the secret realm of "Jortunheim" built by the wizards of "Asgard" in Antarctica.

At an angle invisible to other passengers, Scott moved his mouth silently, and tapped the edge of the map with his fingers, and the lines and letters on the map moved, forming a different map.

On the changed map, the Antarctic continent is no longer what it was 6000 years ago.

But it is also more than 1000 years old.

Scott found out the modern map that he bought specially, compared the two, and once again confirmed the location of the secret place of "Jortunheim".

The secret place is located on the Antarctic Plateau, not far from the poles. It is conceivable that the environment is very harsh.

But before landing on the Antarctic continent, the question before Scott was how to cross the Drake Passage at the southern tip of Argentina.

It's probably not going to work on a big cruise ship like a normal person.

That is the tourist route to the South Shetland Islands. The tourists are boarded and lodging on the ship, and they will only land for a short time for sightseeing.

If he disappears suddenly after passing by on a cruise ship, it may trigger a disappearance on the news.

If relying on Xirain's ability to cross the sea, the strong wind, huge waves and low temperature in the Drake Passage will bring great inconvenience to crossing the sea.

Scott decided to go on a field trip first.

When the plane landed at Buenos Aires Ezeiza International Airport, Scott did not immediately transfer to the southernmost tip of Argentina, but slept soundly in a hotel near the airport.

After waking up, Scott sat on the bed and took out the [magic mirror] from the deformed lizard skin bag on the bedside table.

Not surprisingly, he saw a bunch of complaint messages from his friends, as well as multiple records requesting communication.

He swiped his finger across the mirror, just browsed the information in general, and did not open it to view the details.

Because he could imagine what his friends would say.

Especially Fred and George, those two guys were planning to go on an adventure with him after graduation.

They didn't expect Scott to advance the adventure schedule silently.

Just as Scott was thinking, the communication came again.

"pass!"

"Oh, finally connected!"

There are a lot of people appearing in the mirror, and the background is the exclusive meeting room of the "Tower of Babel" in the Response Room.

"Hey, you bastard, where are you now?" Fred asked loudly.

"I'm in Argentina, Buenos Aires."

Scott got up and walked to the balcony of the hotel room.

"Look at the view from the southern tip of the Earth."

"Damn it!" George seemed envious, "The farthest place we've ever been is Egypt!"

"Are there wizards in Argentina?" Eddie asked curiously.

"Did the trip go well?" Milton asked.

Roger asked, "How are you going to get to the South Pole next?"

Scott didn't know who to answer for a moment.

He spoke very quickly: "I think there should be wizards in Argentina. The journey went smoothly. The route to Antarctica will be determined after actual investigation."

"Remember to send more videos back." Eddie said, "Of course, it would be better if it could be broadcast live."

Scott asked, "What else do you think?"

Eddie blinked, "This is the history of the struggle of the leader of the 'Tower of Babel', and it will always be useful."

"Okay." Scott agreed, "but the connection between us will be interrupted after entering the secret realm."

When he was in the secret realm of "Niflheim", he couldn't contact the outside world.

Only in the "Tower of Gungnir", there was a brief communication with Dumbledore who was near the standing stone, and then it was cut off.

Now they are separated by more than half of the earth, and it is impossible to keep in touch after entering the secret realm.

"Then you record it," Eddie said.

"I will."

Scott cut off the communication, called someone to deliver the food, and filled his stomach first.

Afterwards, he checked out of the hotel and took another plane to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in Argentina.

Ushuaia is a small city known as "the end of the world". Here, Scott and the Antarctic continent are only separated by the Drake Passage.

As usual, Scott checked into a hotel in Ushuaia.

After that, he stayed in the city for three days.

While investigating the conditions of the Drake Passage on the spot, he also broadcast some "end of the world" scenery for friends in the UK.

The scenery of this small town is also very good.

In addition to the stormy sea, there are also lush hillsides and towering white snow-capped mountains.

Scott also specially tasted the local specialties, spider crab.

Later, he heard that the photo of himself eating a giant spider crab was shared with Ron by Fred, at the dinner table.

Scott didn't want to know how Ron would react.

On the third day after arriving in Ushuaia, he finally decided to set off and head to the Antarctic continent alone.
