Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 346 Avalon ([-])

The sky is gray, oppressive gray.

A few wisps of cloud hang above, like ribbons, wrapped around a crescent moon.

There is no wind, but the clouds are swaying slightly.

Ike looked at it for a long time and could only tell that it was magical.

Looking back to the front of the body, there is a large piece of land composed entirely of gravel and gravel.It was bare and lifeless.Looking down, there is a huge and abrupt reef under your feet, and the calm and dark sea water behind you.Looking left and right, you can't see the edge at all, and your eyes are full of hideous and rugged reefs.

Waving the wand, a ball of light flashed from the tip of the wand, and it rushed forward a few meters before being extinguished by Ike.

This is a necessary experiment, and the result is good, there is no jerky in casting the spell.

It is enough.

Not obsessed with the direction, Ike, who has explored many ruins, feels that he has sufficient experience. In this kind of place, the direction of the outside world does not work, and the only person he can trust is himself.

After leaving a towering stone tower made entirely of stones in place, Ike stepped directly in the direction in front of him.

This piece of sandy land is very large. After walking forward for a long time, when I turned around and could only see the stone pagoda faintly, the scenery ahead finally changed.Ike waved his wand lightly, another stone tower rose from the ground, and then moved forward.

When he reached his feet, Ike stopped suddenly.

The right foot stepped forward tentatively, and retracted as soon as it made contact.Rushing to the ground, a black mud was swallowed by the sand in the blink of an eye.Looking at it again, the yellow sand and the black mud are clearly separated.

Ike frowned, the swamp full of black mud in front of him was obviously abnormal.

Since entering Avalon, Ike has always maintained a protection.And just now, the moment his right foot stepped on the black mud, the protection on his foot disappeared!
"This ghostly place actually bans demons!"

Ike cursed, and simply vented the depression in his heart.At this time, any venting is useless.The existence of the black mud only abolished Ike's method of smuggling by magic. In addition, there is still a way to pass through the swamp.

"...the king killed Mordred and was mortally wounded himself..."

"...Bedwell followed the agreement and threw the king's sword into the lake. Suddenly, a white hand stretched out from the lake to catch the king's sword, and sank into the lake with the king's symbol..."

"...Vivian appeared, and beside her were Nimue and Morgan Le Fay..."

"...The fairies in the lake surrounded the dying king and sent him to the black boat summoned by Morgan Le Fay..."

"...The boat rocked gently, carrying the great king across the sea, through swamps and dense forests, and returned to Gensokyo far away from the world..."

Ike walked along the edge of the swamp, whispering in his mouth a long-standing ballad in the magic world, which contained the secret of passing through the swamp.

Very simple, just need to find the black boat.

This requires a little bit of searching. The magic of Morgan Le Fay, the fairy of the lake, calling the boat has not been handed down. In fact, all the magic about King Arthur, the fairy of the lake, and even Avalon has not been handed down.And Ike also tried it just now, and the Flying Curse is useless.

Also, how could magic created after the medieval fault be useful?
Ike walked silently, drank water when he was thirsty, ate when hungry, and fell asleep when tired.He prepared well, and the small box in his pocket contained enough food and water for one person to consume for half a year.

Because of magic, they don't spoil.

A few days later, four days to be precise, Ike finally saw a change in the monotonous swamp: a dark log poked abruptly on the edge of the swamp, and around it, there were five more The same logs were neatly divided into two columns and stretched into the swamp.

"...the swamps of Avalon have a rare property, all magic cannot work here..."

"...we searched for two days, and finally found a small rough wharf. Godric said it must have been built by the fairies of the lake, but I think the green knights are more reliable, if they really exist... ..."

"... We waited for a few more days by the pier until the crescent moon in the sky turned into a full moon, and we finally got the boat that can pass through this swamp..."

"...Just like the legend, the boat is black and small, but it is unexpectedly stable. It is driving on the swamp without feeling any bumps..."

"...Godric was the first to jump on the boat, stood on the bow, and shouted loudly, as if he regarded the small boat under his feet as a Viking ship, and he himself became the captain..."

"...Helga was the second, yelling after Godric. Only she would agree with Godric in this kind of thing, and only she would find Godric's behavior very exciting, and I would only I feel childish. As for Salazar, he never gets involved in these things..."

"...The boat was very stable, but I saw Salazar frowning from the moment he got on the boat. When I asked him, he just shook his head, but his frown became tighter..."

"...Look at him staring at the dark mud in the surrounding swamp, is there any danger? But until he passed through the swamp, nothing happened..."

Recalling the contents of the Ravenclaw manuscript in his mind, Ike was sure that the six logs in front of him were the pier that the Big Four had found, but the pier had been swallowed by the swamp after a thousand years.

Ike didn't think much about it. After all, when the Big Four came here thousands of years ago, there seemed to be no one in Avalon.Thousands of years have passed, and some changes are normal.

What's more, the key now is that Ike doesn't know how long he will wait here.Looking up at the moon that is always hanging in the sky, it seems that there has been no change in the past few days.

It simply stopped on the shore.

In order to live more comfortably, Ike rarely set up a tent, and just waited quietly.It just so happens that I take this time to make a simple summary and think about something.

Like, what I saw in the Gloucester sky that day...

Time seems to have changed since entering Avalon, and it feels completely different from being outside.Two days have passed, and the crescent moon in the sky still hasn't changed a bit.But on the third day, it suddenly became smaller.

So it was for a few days, and then it became bigger on a certain day.Originally thought that it would turn into a full moon when it changed next time, but unexpectedly it disappeared directly.

In this way, I waited for it to change twice, and Ike was a little impatient. Finally, at a certain moment, the moon in the sky suddenly became a perfect circle.

The bright moonlight illuminated the whole of Avalon in an instant, and also dispelled the few strands of entangled clouds.Ike quickly packed up the tent and sundries, and looked into the depths of the swamp under the bright moonlight.

Waiting, waiting, finally, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the distance, deep in the swamp, a small black boat was slowly approaching the shore.

Smooth, as Ravenclaw remembers.
