Hogwarts Ordnance Manual

Chapter 217 Jotunheim

"Wocao, it feels like this again!"

A burst of bright light shone inexplicably from the altar, instantly covering everyone. Dudley felt as if someone had hit him on the back of his head with a big hammer. His vision was blurry, but he knew very well in his heart that he had been hit by some kind of force. The teleportation magic was "sucked in".

The process of transmission is always so tortuous and difficult, but different transmission methods still have different difficulties. Some time and space channels will squeeze people hard, as if they are squeezed through a toothpaste mouth, and some time and space channels will Like a washing machine, it shakes, spins, and shakes you hard until you vomit out everything you ate yesterday...

Relatively speaking, Dudley felt that today's time and space channel was quite gentle, but it was very fast. The blood in his body was pressed to his back, making him really breathless. Fortunately, this process was very short, and soon Dudley felt He stepped on the ground with both feet, the dancing lights and shadows in front of him slowly came into focus, and he also regained his vision.

They appeared one by one. At their feet was an extremely majestic pyramid-shaped creation, at least 200 meters high. The black boulder was covered with old frost, but it was not thick. The original color and texture of the boulder could still be seen. .From the bottom of the pyramid, there was a slope and stairs tens of meters wide extending to their feet, as if this had once been a transportation hub for some civilization.The temperature was not very low either. After coming out of the space-time tunnel, everyone's clothes became surprisingly dry, which surprised Dudley as well.

Standing high and looking far, this is an endless desolate land. The first thing that catches the eye is the boundless ice field, extending to the end of the field of vision.On the ice sheet, strange-shaped icicles and ice statues can be seen everywhere. They seem to be carved by a pair of giant sculptor's hands and stand on the surface of the planet.These ice statues seem to be the statues of giants who once lived here, revealing an atmosphere of vicissitudes and loneliness.

Looking across this ice field, there is a very majestic ancient city in the distance.These cities may have once been bustling and full of life, but now they are silent ruins.Towering ice walls surround the city, like mournful bulwarks guarding a life lost.The huge ice crystal buildings still stand, but the glass-like domes have long been shattered. The streets and squares of the city have been filled with ice and snow, turning into a frozen scene.

"Where is this? Jotunheim??" Diana's voice came from his ears. Dudley quickly turned around and supported the injured Diana. The others woke up when they fell into the glacier, but Ackerman and Thiel were seriously injured. As soon as they landed, they knelt down, covered their wounds and grinned in pain.

"It should be..." Dudley touched the magic package and finally unlocked it. He let out a long breath and took out the herbs and the delicious food made by Liya. It was more important to save the lives of the two brothers first, even if He is a demon hunter and will die if he loses too much blood.

Ackerman was still a little arrogant and wanted to refuse, but his survival instinct finally defeated the "humiliation" in his heart. He asked Shirley to help him apply medicine and bandage to the wound, and then ate a large piece of meat from the steel-armored axecrocodile. , although these preparations have taken a long time to make, they will not deteriorate in the magic package. They just taste a little boring, but for the thrifty demon hunters, they are already a godsend delicacy.

"This... is so delicious..." Diana looked at Dudley with an especially gentle and watery look while eating to replenish her strength. However, if she knew that this was the work of another "confidante" of Dudley, she would not know. What do you think...

"Let's set off when we're full!" Dudley stood up. He didn't even ask where the destination was, but he thought these demon hunters were just guessing, and it was no more reliable than his improvisation. However, he saw some ruins of bunker-like buildings on the ice sheet in the distance. He guessed that they were "air defense" facilities set up by the frost giants to fight against the flying Nordic gods. He did not dare to ride on a flying broom rashly. Some facilities can still operate, but they have capsized in the gutter.

Even though Dudley did not deliberately study Nordic mythology, the general content was still exposed in some literature and film and television works. In fact, it is very simple. At the beginning of the world, the "Norse gods who advocated civilized and orderly" were born. There were "giants who advocated violence and chaos", and the two sides launched a protracted war. In the end, the gods gained the upper hand and drove the giants to the corner of the world.

However, Dudley's analysis is still different from the myth. He believes that the "Celestial Clan" and the "Giant Clan" should be two different civilizations born on a very large planet. Over a long period of time, the two civilizations have developed many times. A war broke out, but in the end no one was able to destroy the other, and a certain state of coexistence was formed.

Neither of them could survive and develop well on one planet, so the two races began to colonize other planets in outer space. This was analyzed from the introduction of "Essence Fragments of the Ice Demon". Frost Giants were the first to have the ability to transform other planets. , took the lead on the road to colonization, so the war on the ground extended to space. Once a valuable planet is discovered, the gods and frost giants will still have to fight for it.

Since the frost giants do not currently occupy the earth, and there is also the legend of "Twilight of the Gods", Dudley guessed that both groups of extraordinary powers would eventually suffer losses. Although the gods gained control of most of the star field, their numbers It has reached such a low level that it is impossible to rule a specific planet, and the frost giants are almost extinct. They are lingering in an unknown corner of the universe and no longer have the ability to colonize other countries.

In the final battle, Dudley guessed that mortals also played a very big role, so the earth was handed over to mortal hands. No matter gods or giants, they no longer participate in the mortal world.

The world in front of us should be a colony of the frost giants, not the planet where they were born, but it is okay to use "Jotunheim" as a general name.

After thinking so much, Dudley saw that Ackerman and Tyr were supporting each other and could move, so he strode towards the bottom of the pyramid.

This pyramid should be a thoroughfare for frost giants to communicate with other planets. Whether they are mortal scientists or alien civilizations with extraordinary powers, because space travel in the universe will be restricted by the laws of physics, they will be very concerned about interstellar travel. Despair, even if a light-speed spacecraft is built, the distance measured in hundreds or thousands of light years is enough to deter any race, so everyone will devote their energy to "non-physical movement". The difference is that mortal scientists are pursuing "wormholes". And these races with extraordinary power have activated the killer weapon "Interstellar Portal".

Night gradually fell, and the stars shone brightly on the frost planet.The cold wind howled, and the ruins and ice statues illuminated by the stars cast deep shadows, creating a cold and mysterious atmosphere.This is a world that is both beautiful and desolate. It tells the story of the past glory and its end, which makes people ponder.
