The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 54 Unexpected Discovery

In the next few days, Ryan visited a lot of places, and had to admit that Floo did have a convenient side.Let Ryan travel to many places to feast his eyes.But the only bad thing is that Ryan is a little dizzy, and basically gets out of the fireplace every time.But that's the only way to save time.

Whether it's the colorful wooden houses of local residents that look more beautiful under the sun, as if adding a layer of filter, or the snow-capped glaciers, or even the ice floes brought down from the glaciers in the river reflect the sparkling light. .These views have brought Lane a great travel experience.

As for the scenic spots on the magic side, he visited and fed the North Sea giant monsters, lamenting that these giant monsters may be bigger than the giant squid at Hogwarts, and also admired the endangered animal of the sound bird in the reserve.

Naturally, Ryan took quite a few pictures.He picked out a few of them and asked a photo studio to make postcards, and sent them to his friends through the Extreme North Owl Post Office on Sakya Street.

This caused him to receive a lot of letters from owls the next day, some of his roommates expressed their envy, and some of the Weasley twins asked Ryan to purchase certain magical raw materials unique to Iceland (because Ryan had read many and mixed books, Once when the Weasley twins were discussing a question that Lane had seen, Lane answered it casually. A friendship slowly developed afterwards).

It's just that in Ron and Hermione's letters, except for the postcard thanking Ryan, they all mentioned that they had never replied to Harry's letter, so they felt a little nervous.

Ryan didn't see Harry's reply in this batch of replies. He estimated that his letter was intercepted by the house elf Dobby just like Hermione Ron's.So Ryan wrote to Hermione and told them that Harry's safety was always being watched by Professor Dumbledore, and there would be no major problems.But if there is no reply, you can go to Harry's house to see.

Time passed slowly in this kind of leisurely tour, and this kind of environment gave people a sense of relaxation that has never been felt in other places.At least Ryan felt that the exhaustion of his parents due to work seemed to be reduced a lot.

One day Ryan was looking left and right on the streets of Reykjavik, while preparing to visit a certain museum.Suddenly an oil painting attracted him.

This oil painting belonged to an oil painter who was sitting on the street and selling paintings.The level of the painting is very ordinary, but the mountain on the painting is almost the same as the mountain on the treasure map that I got.

So he went up to the artist and asked: "Sir, where is this painting? I have been traveling here for several days, but I have never seen the mountain in this painting."

The painter put down the pen in his hand and said: "This is a scene I saw when I was hiking on the Askja volcano a few years ago. The weather was fine that day, and I and a few companions were going to go to Lake Viti to experience the geothermal lake for swimming. The pleasure. As a result, the sky suddenly changed in the middle of the journey.”

Speaking of this, the painter shivered as if thinking of something terrible, and then continued: "The wind was blowing very hard at that time, and we were all worried that the car would be blown away when we were sitting in the car. After half an hour, the wind stopped, and I I saw a group of devil-like mountain peaks popping up on the previously empty ice cap, which disappeared in less than a minute after appearing in front of me."

"Later, I asked the nearby residents, and they told me that it was called the Devil's Mountain. It is said that that place is where the devil lives. Most of the time it hides in hell, and it only comes to the world in very rare cases."

Lane mused after hearing what the painter said: invisible most of the time, only occasionally spotted.This is quite in line with what happens when wizards use magic to cover certain places.If some magic circles for concealment are not maintained, they will indeed occasionally fail after a long time.

Looks like it needs to be investigated first.After bidding farewell to the artist, Ryan found a hidden place, took out the cosmetics he bought earlier, and put on makeup on his face, pretending to be a Native American (they are all yellow, and they can barely disguise. s things).Then go to Sakya Street to inquire about the news.

Ryan disguised himself as an aboriginal wizard traveling from the Americas, and asked the shop owners about it in English with a Caribbean Spanish accent, and soon got something.

That place is a natural magic point, so it forms a magic barrier to prevent others from discovering it.Wizards only discovered this place more than 30 years ago.It's just that the wizards who explored before only found an abandoned altar in that place, and nothing else.

Later, many wizards went to that place to visit and study, but unfortunately, they never heard of any discovery.

So basically no wizards go there for tours now.However, it is not difficult to go there. Use the Floo Network to go to the Alpine Giant Monster Reserve on the Vatna Glacier, and then rent a broom to fly for about 10 minutes.

After collecting these materials, Ryan felt extremely pained.I thought I had discovered some great treasure location, but it turned out that that place had been discovered by others a long time ago, and it was even opened up as a tourist spot.This made him feel a deep sense of loss.

But to do things, it is important to have a beginning and an end.Now that the target has been found, it would be a pity not to take a look.

After finishing his homework early the next morning (the hard-working student party), Ryan packed his things and went to the altar of Devil Mountain.

After spinning in the fireplace of Floo Network for tens of seconds, Ryan appeared in a small house hidden by magic.There are notices posted on the walls of the house: If you want to swim in Lake Viti, please change into Muggle clothes here.

At a counter not far from the fireplace, a middle-aged wizard in his fifties dozed off.

Ryan went to wake him up: "I'm going to visit the Devil's Mountain Altar, can you rent a broom here?"

"Oh, another young man who was deceived by the legend of the treasure. It's a pity that there are fewer and fewer people like you now." The middle-aged wizard rubbed his sleepy eyes and said. "Rent 12 Sickles a day, and the deposit is five Galleons." After speaking, he took a broom that looked okay and put it on the counter.

After Ryan paid the money, he spent another 3 Sickles to rent a robe with heating function and a goggle. After all, it is very cold to fly in the sky, and he was busy learning the stun spell and some spells related to combat before. I didn't have time to teach myself life spells like the heat preservation spell.

This place is not far from the Altar of Devil Mountain, and you can even overlook those strangely shaped peaks that look like devils from a distance.

Ryan rode a flying broom and flew there in only ten minutes. This is because the broom is relatively old, and Ryan's driving skills are also a bit problematic.If Harry rode his Nimbus for two thousand, it might take 5 minutes to get there.

Lowering the broom, Ryan found that the broom was parked at the beginning of a small gravel road.He put down the broom and followed the direction indicated by the roadside signs along the gravel road towards the altar.
