148: World Tree

The red light hit the stone slab, making a dull sound, and muddy water splashed onto his legs. William took a few breaths and finally relieved the irritability in his heart.

After venting his anger, William stepped forward and wanted to take away the slate. After all, it was the object he had spent a lot of effort to find. He planned to get it and study it carefully.

When I looked closely, there was no trace of the stone slab in the puddle. There was only a dead branch floating in the dirty muddy water.

William sensed something was wrong and quickly turned around to see a sneaky young man putting eight stone slabs on the ground into his arms.

"Avada Kedavra!" William concluded based on the color of his clothing that this stupid young man did not belong to the Eternal Night. In anger, he directly wanted to take the thief's life.

Joel was well prepared. He quickly put away the eight stone slabs, then waved his wand and used summoning to create a silver shield. The silver shield could not completely resist the Killing Curse's attack, but it bought Joel time to dodge sideways.

He dodged to the side and behind, and the green killing curse flew in front of him and hit a big tree. After the tree was hit by the killing curse, the branches and leaves quickly withered, the trunk rotted and aged, and finally

It lost all its vitality and could not support the weight of the entire tree, so it fell heavily.

Joel's movements were extremely smooth. While dodging the spell, he turned his body directly, trying to use the Apparition spell to leave the forest.

William, on the other hand, flew forward like a lunatic regardless, and at the last moment when Joel disapparated and left, he reached out and grabbed the corner of his robe.

The space was distorted, absorbing the two bodies into it, and the woods returned to calm.

The Hardangerfjord in western Norway is full of beautiful scenery and countryside.

A gap opened in the space on the shore, and Joel and William fell to the ground unharmed. William's previous actions were quite reckless. He rashly grabbed Joel's robe corner and easily triggered the disembodiment mechanism. It is also common for the head to be in different places.

Well, it was pure luck that he was not injured this time.

The battle between the two started as soon as they landed. Joel thought that his level of dueling was not low now, but when he encountered William, he could only defend passively. He came from Durmstrang and had a deep research on black magic, and all kinds of weird things happened inexplicably.

The spell made Joel unable to defend himself. More importantly, William did not defend at all during the duel. He spent all his energy on the violent attack, becoming a fighting madman.

"You brat, hand over the slate, and I'll leave you a trace of the whole body!" William obviously realized that Joel was no match for him, and laughed arrogantly, with a bloodthirsty red light flashing in his eyes, a crazy arc at the corner of his mouth, and the wand in his right hand.

The lying left hand gently pressed against the tip of the staff, and a silver halo flashed out. He spent a lot of magic power to set up this anti-Apparition restriction, just to prevent Joel from escaping.

Joel used the Iron Armor Spell to block a ball of black mist shot by William. The mist hit the transparent barrier of the Iron Armor Spell and made a harsh hissing sound. The black mist was extremely corrosive. Joel looked at it with fear. What if?

It's okay if you let this black mist stick to your body.

"You want me to give it to you!" Without hesitation, he threw a stone slab from his arms and threw it towards William.

William is not stupid, and he will not be fooled a second time. He cast a light identification spell on the stone slab, and the original shape of the stone slab was revealed - another dead branch.

He snorted coldly, the red light in his eyes became even brighter, and the spells fired by the wand became more vicious.

Joel was a little helpless. He was confident that the object deformation spell could not be detected when the magic power level was not much different. Unfortunately, William, as an adult wizard, had a big advantage in magic power. Joel's magic power was outstanding, but his talent

At 14 years old, his body has not yet fully developed. When he reaches adulthood, William's body's magic power storage will not be enough.

Another killing curse was deflected by the silver shield summoned by Joel out of thin air. William licked his lips manically. This boy was so appealing to him. This was the first time he had experienced such pleasure after graduating from Durmstrang.

Attacking, most of the Yongye people's colleagues couldn't hold on for so long in his hands.

Joel's magic power was consumed very quickly under the attack of William's various strange spells, and he had to find a way to escape.

The Iron Armor Curse lay in front of him. Joel took it out from his arms, threw the fake stone slabs into the air, waved his wand to draw a semicircle in the air, and the stone slabs turned into ravens.

This is his improvement on the Birds Flock Curse, changing the ordinary sparrows that originally appeared into ravens, the same as his Animagus form.

The ravens surrounded Joel's body heavily, emitting a unique deep and hollow squawking sound. The Iron Armor Curse did not hold up for a long time. William's Cruciatus Curse penetrated the Iron Armor Curse like a bamboo and came roaring. The ravens fled in all directions. Joe

The place where you originally stood was empty.

"Damn it!" William roared loudly. He knew that Joel had turned himself into a raven and escaped among the birds. He tried to shoot two Cruciatus Curses, but neither of them hit the real body.

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing a tattoo-like mark on his left forearm. Two black wands crossed each other. He used the wand in his right hand to pierce the mark of the Evernight Man. Hot pain swept through his body from the mark, making him

His body trembled unconsciously.

"You brat, I will never let you escape my grasp, never..." William looked ferocious, and his originally delicate face now looked like a hunting beast.

Joel successfully escaped using the transformation technique and flew in the sky for two hours before he landed in a small town and transformed into a human again and entered the hotel.

This escape battle was extremely thrilling. Although Joel escaped without any injuries, he left the suitcase with the traceless stretching spell in the forest. There was nothing valuable in it, just some krona (the local currency of Norway).

) and Golden Gallon, the most important thing is that there are several school robes in it.

He had no doubt that William would return to the forest and find the suitcase, which meant that his identity as a Hogwarts student was exposed to William.

With how crazy William was, it was only a matter of time before he followed the clues and found him.

Another big hidden danger.

Joel calmed down and took out nine slates from his arms. The slates were not big, only about four inches long and wide. He pieced the stones together one by one.

Asgard (the kingdom of the Æsir), Midgard (the kingdom of humans), Helheim (the kingdom of the dead), Niflheim (the kingdom of fog), Muspelheim (the kingdom of fire),

Jotunheim (the country of giants), Alfheim (the country of elves), Swartheim (the country of dwarves and dwarves), Vanaheim (the country of the Vanir gods).

When Joel placed the last stone slab, the Asgard Hall of Valor, on the top, the World Tree was formed again. Different from the previous imitations he made with transfiguration, this time he saw Niflheim (

Under the stone slab of the Land of Fog, that is, under the third root of the World Tree, a sunken fingerprint appeared in the blank space.

After Joel made sure that the hotel room door was locked, he held his breath and stretched out his finger to poke the fingerprint.

The magic power all over his body surged like sea water, flowing along his fingertips towards the World Tree on the stone slab.

The light blue magic is like liquid, climbing up the tree roots little by little, flowing through the kingdoms on the branches, lighting up the slate paintings, giving them color and brightness, and blooming with their own dazzling light.

The gray faces of the nine girls in front of the Hall of Valor became rosy and full of vitality, the spears they held shone brightly, and their eyes were soft and hopeful.

By this time, all the magic power in his body had been drained. Slate seemed not to be satisfied, and the speed of absorbing magic power did not slow down at all. Joel was forced to open the system panel and spend 100 points to buy a bottle of magic restorer from the mall.

After pouring this tube of light blue potion into his stomach, Joel felt that the depleted magic power in his body surged again, and he once again returned to his full strength.

The slate once again drained his magic power. Now the characters on the slate can move their bodies freely. Even the white horses under the nine girls of His Highness the Heroic Spirit raised their hooves and showed joy.

A lifelike golden-crowned rooster appeared above the Hall of Valor at the top of the World Tree, and a huge black dragon appeared at the fingerprints. It was shaking its body and biting the third tree root, trying to absorb the nutrients of the World Tree.

Hollow out.

A system prompt appears: The World Tree Slate Puzzle (9/9) leading to the secret realm is completed, and the World Tree is officially constructed.

Joel was extremely weak and had not slept all night. The combination of a fierce battle and two drains of magic caused him to fall into a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, the sky was getting dark again. Joel touched his stomach. He was hungry after not eating for two days. He planned to put away the World Tree stone slab and go downstairs to eat something.

But the World Tree had disappeared. After searching the room for a while, Joel discovered that the World Tree was actually in his mind.

With perfect Occlumency, he could see the status of the World Tree in his mind. It was tall and tall, green and tall, and seemed to be in good health. The nine kingdoms were still peacefully on the branches, and the black dragon at the bottom was still there forever.

Chewing the tree roots tirelessly.

How can the ancient secret art mission be completed? Joel looked at the World Tree in his mind with a confused look on his face.

He tried to bring his consciousness closer to the World Tree, but was blocked out without any suspense.

Joel was puzzled. He packed up, took a shower, and then ran downstairs to have a simple meal. He originally wanted to stay in Oslo for a while and enjoy the beautiful scenery here, but his suitcase was lost.

, he had very little money left after paying the room fee, and coupled with the threat of the fighting madman William, Joel had to cancel his travel plans.

Three days later, Joel returned to his home in Godric's Hollow.

Today is Christmas Eve, Godric's Hollow is brightly lit, and students who have traveled and busy working people have returned home to spend the holiday together.

Joel was sitting on the lounge chair on the balcony of the study room on the second floor, looking out the window at the joy and peace of every household. He felt extremely lonely. This feeling of loneliness had been carried over from the previous life. Fortunately, he had become accustomed to it and only felt it during the reunion festival.

Melancholy.

He made himself a pot of tea, then cooked a plate of tomato scrambled eggs, steamed a pot of rice, and paired it with the smoked ham he had purchased this afternoon. It tasted delicious.

Owl Bobby was still busy outside, sending out the master's gifts one by one. He didn't come back until midnight. Joel sat by the window and waited for him. This made the little owl so flattered that he quickly put the dead food in his mouth.

The mouse handed it over, wanting to reward his master.

"Didn't I say don't eat dead mice in the future?" Joel, with his head full of black lines, threw away the dead mouse in Poppy's mouth, "Isn't the owl food delicious? Come and try this new variety. I went there specially this afternoon.

I bought it for you from Diagon Alley, chicken flavor, crunchy and crunchy."

He opened a bag of pet food and stuffed a large handful into Bobby.

It had been tired for a day, and it was the time when it needed to eat a lot. At this time, it didn't care about the dead mice, and its sharp beak clicked the owl food in Joel's palm.

Joel quickly stroked the soft feathers on Bobby's back with his other hand. The little owl was immersed in eating and had no time to talk to his master, so he let Joel stroke it.

The feel is much better than Tom's tiger, but it lacks a bit of muscle.

Joel said, "Smash it, smash it."

The only tavern in Godric's Hollow was full tonight. Men and women gathered there to sing and dance, and many people played chess there. It was very noisy and lively.

It's just that the fun is theirs, I don't have anything.

At this time, Joel missed Haylis more and more, missed her smooth and beautiful long hair, missed her warm and slender hands, missed her gentle and watery eyes, and missed her soft and slender body.

Poppy finally had enough to eat, so she lay on Joel's shoulder and combed her feathers to make herself look more beautiful.

Joel sighed, came to his senses and put Bobby on the bed.

"Sleep together tonight?" Joel asked, and then saw the horrified expression of the owl. It used all its strength to break free from the quilt. It was so impatient that it burped, looking honest and cute.

"Okay," Joel said without interest, "I won't force you to stay in the cage if you want."

He locked Bobby in an iron cage, turned off the light, jumped into the cold bed, warmed the bed with his body, and wrapped himself like a caterpillar. When the temperature in the bed got higher, he fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Joel lifted the quilt with some anticipation, sat cross-legged on the bed and opened this year's Christmas gifts.

He only told a few friends about his new address, so there were not many gifts in the house. Many of the gifts sent by his classmates were probably under the bed in the dormitory at Hogwarts.

Eddie knew that Joel went for a morning jog every morning, so he gave him a set of sports shoes and clothes produced by Nike; Allen gave him a book "Innovative Potion Inventions of the Twentieth Century", and Sergey gave him a book "

Ancient Runes: The Origin of Runes".

Qiu and Cedric's gift is a bottle of ink that is said to never fade, which is probably a toy used to play pranks.

There was still Haylis' gift unopened, and Joel deliberately left it for last.
