The outdoor concert soon began.
At first, the only people in the audience were Scott and Luna.
Slowly, more and more wizards are attracted by the music.
Even the wizards who were carousing in the bar stuck their heads out of the windows.
No one spoke, everyone listened quietly.
Especially when Milton plays the cello, the quality of the music suddenly rises to several levels.
The peace and joy conveyed in those notes seemed to have substance, making people feel relaxed and lazy, as if they were soaking in hot water with a suitable temperature.
Scott couldn’t help but smile too.
Milton’s musical magic improved again.
When the song ended, there was thunderous applause.
“This is 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, looking at Milton who was enjoying the applause on the stage from a distance.
There was a hooded woman standing next to him, and Scott couldn’t see her face clearly.
Maybe Scott stared for too long, and Mr. Graves noticed it. He moved his gaze and looked at Scott from a distance for a few seconds.
He made a “silence” gesture to Scott, and then pulled the lady to move behind the curtain.
Scott nodded and looked away.
The open-air concert lasted until noon.
Judging from the on-site performance, the classical music club performances are undoubtedly very popular.
This music club within Hogwarts has also become famous outside the school.
Especially Milton.
The musical magic he performed was magical enough that people couldn’t help but want to cheer for him.
Scott heard many wizards asking for his name.
After the concert, Scott and Luna also returned to Hogwarts.
During lunch time, since most students were still lingering in Hogsmeade Village, there were not many people dining in the auditorium, mainly lower-level students who could not go outside the school.
After lunch, Scott took Luna to the crow territory in the forest.
While Luna and Rambo were happily chatting together, Scott began to summon Ymir.
Along with the flowing blue halo, the temperature in the oak forest dropped sharply, and a huge frost giant appeared in front of him.
“Gah…gah…”
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 bond of the contract.
The situation was better than he imagined.
Although Voldemort caused some damage to Ymir, Ymir began to repair it automatically after returning to the different space, and it was almost repaired by this time.
“Is this Ymir?”
Luna walked up to Scott and looked up at the giant as well.
“It’s this big guy.” said Rimbaud, who was resting on Luna’s shoulder. “With my help, Scott got the ring to summon it from the secret place under the sea.”
“You’re awesome.” Luna praised her very much.
Rimbaud raised his head proudly, “Without my help, Scott’s adventure will be very difficult.”
Scott couldn’t help laughing, “Of course, luckily I have you as a good friend.”
“It’s good if you know,” Rimbaud said loudly.
Scott stretched out his left hand with the ring on it, letting 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!”
Rumple flew up from Luna’s shoulders.
“Are we going to Antarctica? That ice-covered continent you mentioned!”
“That’s right.” Scott said, “I must get the remaining research materials, especially the second half of the advanced parts of ‘Gangnir’.”
Learning the full version of “Gangnir” will give him more confidence when he enters “Avalon”.
Luna, “Have you made an agreement with the professors?”
Scott, “Just going to say it.”
Luna, “What about the other members of ‘Tower of Babel’?”
Scott, “You can tell them after I leave.”
Luna’s expression was somewhat disapproving, but she still nodded.
“I’ll come back as soon as possible.” Scott said with a smile, “Maybe before Christmas, maybe before N.E.W.T.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.
“Let’s go, we should go back.”
Luna nodded and took his hand.
“Apparate.”
Scott took her back to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, and then they walked through the Forbidden Forest and back to the castle.
Saying goodbye to Luna, Scott first came to the principal’s office.
Dumbledore was standing alone in front of the window, looking at the lower students running below the castle.
“There you are, Scott.”
He looked back.
“I heard Harry tell you what happened last night. You did something amazing again.”
Scott walked to his side and looked out the window as well.
“Mainly relying on the help of that big shot, and I was a little reckless, which almost led to the worst result.”
Perhaps his previous success made him a little arrogant.
Scott, who had already reflected, reflected again.
“But the results are good.”
Dumbledore smiled.
“Harry, the child can finally grow up freely, and I, an 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 do you leave?”
“Tomorrow.”
“I hope you can come back before N.E.W.T.”
“I will.”
After talking with Dumbledore, Scott went to find Professor Flitwick again.
After a detailed discussion, Professor Flitwick did not stop him.
“Go, Scott, I have a feeling that you will achieve unprecedented success.”
With Professor Flitwick’s blessing, Scott returned to Ravenclaw Tower and informed Helena and the Ravenclaw tutor in the painting.
That night, the celebration dinner was very lively.
All the people in Hogwarts gathered together, even Professor Victor and Professor Trelawney, who rarely appeared, attended.
The Classical Music Club and the Toad Choir once again cooperated to present a wonderful performance.
Scott did not show any abnormality, but ate and drank with his classmates, laughing and making noise.
The next morning, when his three roommates were still asleep, Scott left the dormitory alone.
He came to the common room and found that in addition to Helena who was waiting for him as planned, Luna was also there.
“Morning, Scott.”
“Luna?”
Luna had her long hair loose, wore a nightgown, and curled up on the sofa with her knees hugged.
Seeing Scott coming down the stairs, she jumped off the sofa and stepped barefoot on the carpet.
“Luna has been waiting for you for a while.” Helena smiled and said, “She said she wanted to say goodbye.”
“I thought this part was completed yesterday.” Scott smiled at Luna.
Luna shook her head, “No, someone should say goodbye to you when you embark on your adventure.”
“Thank you.”
Scott didn’t know what to say.
“Are you leaving?”
Luna stroked her hair.
“Yeah.”
“Then… goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
“Everything will go well.”
“You are right.”
Scott opened the passage to the other dimension of [Eye of Odin] and let Helena in.
After that, he waved at Luna, activated the silver snake necklace, and disappeared in the thin morning light.
Arriving at the Raven Territory, Scott asked Rimbaud to enter the [Eye of Odin] space, and then he changed into Muggle clothes and Apparated to London.
In London, Scott first went to apply for a visa, and then started to make a big purchase.
First, he stockpiled a lot of food, then clothes and other tools, and finally went to Diagon Alley to buy a batch of potions.
After making all the preparations, Scott boarded a plane to Argentina in South America.
Departing from London Heathrow Airport, transferring at Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport, crossing half of the world, and finally arriving at Buenos Aires Ezeiza International Airport, the capital of Argentina.
This air journey takes a total of 17 hours.
Scott did not save money and chose a more comfortable first-class cabin.
On the plane, Scott kept looking at the Reis map in his hand.
As for the source of this map, he, who has inherited the “Asgard” school, already knows.
This map of Antarctica, which was drawn before the Muggles officially discovered Antarctica, was created by wizards from the “Asgard” school.
However, the topography of Antarctica before it was covered by glaciers on this map is only the result of wizards’ magical surveys, not what they saw with their own eyes 6,000 years ago.
The real secret hidden in this map is the “Jotunheim” secret realm built by “Asgard” wizards in Antarctica.
At an angle that other passengers could not see, Scott moved his mouth silently, tapped the edge of the map with his fingers, and the lines and letters on the map moved, forming another map.
On the changed map, the Antarctic continent no longer presents the appearance of 6,000 years ago.
But it is also more than 1,000 years old.
Scott found the modern map he bought specially, compared the two, and once again confirmed the location of the “Jotunheim” secret realm.
The secret realm is located on the Antarctic Plateau, not far from the pole. As you can imagine, the environment is very harsh.
But before landing on the Antarctic continent, the problem facing Scott was how to cross the Drake Passage at the southern tip of Argentina.
It probably wouldn’t work to take a large cruise ship like an ordinary person.
That was the tourist route to the South Shetland Islands. Tourists ate and lived on the ship and only landed for a short time for sightseeing.
If he suddenly disappeared after taking the cruise ship, it might cause a disappearance incident in the news.
If he relied on Sirein’s ability to cross the sea, the strong winds, huge waves and low temperatures in the Drake Passage would bring great inconvenience to crossing the ocean.
Scott decided to go for a field investigation 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.
When he woke up, Scott sat on the bed and took out the [Magic Mirror] from the deformed lizard skin bag on the bedside table.
As expected, he saw a bunch of complaint messages from friends and multiple records of requesting communication.
He slid his finger across the mirror and glanced at the information without opening it to view the details.
Because he could imagine what his friends would say.
Especially Fred and George, the two guys were planning to go on an adventure with him after graduation.
They didn’t expect Scott to quietly advance the adventure schedule.
Scott was thinking, and the communication came again.
“It’s connected!”
“Oh, it’s finally connected!”
There were quite a lot of people appearing in the mirror, and the background was the “Tower of Babel” exclusive conference room in the Room of Requirement.
“Hey, you bastard, where are you now?” Fred asked loudly.
“I’m in Buenos Aires, Argentina.”
Scott got up and walked to the balcony of the hotel room.
“Look at the scenery at the southern end of the earth.”
“Damn it!” George seemed envious, “The farthest place we have been to is Egypt!”
“Are there wizards in Argentina?” Eddie asked curiously.
“Is the journey smooth?” Milton asked.
Roger asked, “How are you going to get to Antarctica next?”
Scott didn’t know who to answer for a while.
He said very quickly: “I think Argentina should have wizards. The journey is smooth. The route to Antarctica needs to be decided after actual investigation.”
“Remember to send more videos back.” Eddie said, “Of course, it would be better if it can be broadcast live.”
Scott asked, “What ideas do you have?”
Eddie blinked, “This is the struggle history of the leader of the ‘Tower of Babel’, it will always be useful.”
“Okay.” Scott agreed, “But our contact will be cut off after entering the secret realm.”
When he was in the “Niflheim” secret realm, he could not contact the outside world.
Only when he was in the “Tower of Gungnir”, he had a brief communication with Dumbledore who was near the Standing Stone, and then it was cut off.
Now they are separated by half a world, and it is impossible to keep in touch after entering the secret realm.
“Then record it.” Eddie said.
“I will.”
Scott cut off the communication, called someone to deliver food, and filled his stomach first.
After that, he checked out of the hotel and took a plane again to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in Argentina.
Ushuaia is a small town, known as the “end of the world”. Here, Scott is only separated from the Antarctic continent by the Drake Passage.
Scott found a hotel in Ushuaia as usual.
After that, he stayed in the city for three days.
While inspecting the conditions of the Drake Passage, he also live-streamed some of the “end of the world” scenery for his 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 specialty, spider crab.
Later, he heard that the photo of him eating a giant spider crab was shared with Ron by Fred at the dinner table.
Scott didn’t want to know how Ron reacted.
On the third day after arriving in Ushuaia, he finally decided to set off and go to the Antarctic continent alone.
