Hogwarts Ordnance Manual

Dudley opened the ancient book with great interest. The code Diana sent was probably the page number of a certain book.There are actually not many ancient books that record things related to witchers. After seeing the rag, Hermione spent a lot of effort to find the "Legends of the Northland" from the library.

In ancient Northern Europe, runes began to appear around 150 AD, and under the influence of the Western Church around 700 AD, Latin began to be used.Before the use of runes, Nordic myths and legends relied on oral transmission. The original source could not be verified, but in the end it did form a relatively complete and special mythological system.

Dudley already knew that runes may come from the ancient civilization of the Wasteland Continent, and are also so-called "magic texts." The relationship with Nordic mythology is unclear, but it should have a great relationship with the emergence of demon hunters.

I learned from Diana that demon hunters are also humans with magical power, but they do not use magic power. Instead, they use "secret medicine" to let magic power enhance their physical strength, and then use sophisticated and powerful Fight monsters with cold weapons.

While many magics are incredibly powerful, in some ways the path of a witcher is more immediate.

What surprised Dudley was that this ancient book was not the version that had been circulated for thousands of years. Instead, it contained many pictures of cultural relics and ancient books. Naturally, the page numbers did not match up. It was not easy to find page 328 in it. Fortunately, while Dudley was looking through it, Hermione was diligently explaining to him the information she knew.

"In ancient times, demon hunters still had a high social status..." Hermione said while watching Dudley flipping through ancient books: "Whether it is the ancient wild world or the dark age of the middle world, there are demon hunters. They They can always defeat monsters that are more powerful than the world imagined... Ancient books say that they obtained superhuman abilities from Odin's Hall of Valor."

Dudley also knew a little about Nordic mythology, but as far as he knew, the so-called Hall of Valor was the kingdom of the dead established by Odin for the Viking warriors who died in battle, and it did not seem to have any direct relationship with the demon hunters.

"The original witcher was a believer in Hela, but in the end, he chose justice and light in the test of the gods..." Hermione explained.

"You mean, the demon hunter was originally a soul who died in battle and entered hell. Finally, he passed the test of the gods and entered Odin's Hall of Valor, but how did he return to the human world?" Dudley was a little curious. asked.

"Because of Twilight of the Gods!" Hermione continued, taking the ancient book from Dudley's hand and quickly turning to one of the pages.

One thing that is different between Nordic mythology and mythology in other parts of the world is that they believe that the world will eventually be destroyed, that is, the twilight of the gods. Most gods and mortals will be destroyed in the twilight of the gods, and in the end only the remaining people will survive. The gods who come down will create a new era.

Dudley took the ancient book and looked at it. That page was recording the legendary Twilight of the Gods. After experiencing the winter of Finbul, the giant wolf Fenrir, the mortal python Jörmungandr, the poisonous dragon Nidhogg, The frost giants and other giants challenged the gods. In this battle of annihilation, the gods were destined to fail and eventually perish together with all the evil forces.

Speaking of the famous monsters Fenrir, Jormungandr, and Nidhogg, each of them is an unimaginable and terrifying existence for humans, while the frost giants and other giants are not so unfamiliar to the world. , there is a giant tribe's reputation in Dudley's reputation list.

"Found it!" Following Hermione's explanation, Dudley quickly flipped through the records in the ancient books. Due to the integration of the rune language module, he saw those obscure ancient symbols as easily as reading his mother tongue. It was several times faster than Min imagined, and soon he found the so-called Erp328.

"The legacy of the frost giant!" Hermione couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw the contents of this page.

In Nordic mythology, frost giants are the number one enemy of the gods. Although they are all called giants, they have nothing to do with the giant race that still exists in the world.This page describes in detail the thousands of years of dispute between the frost giant population and the gods. In short, the frost giants are very awesome and refuse to admit defeat, and the gods do not have the ability to drive them all out, and finally achieve a subtle agreement. balance.

After the Twilight of the Gods, the Frost Giants also disappeared into the long river of history without a trace, and together with the civilization they created, it was as if they had never appeared.

"Frost Coffin!" Hermione exclaimed, pointing to the small box held in the hands of a Frost Giant whose body was carved out of rock in the picture: "This is the Frost Giant's most precious treasure!"

"Coffin? Does it contain the bones of the frost giant?" Dudley couldn't help but ask.

Hermione glanced at him with a look that looked like a fool and said: "Legend has it that it contains powerful energy that allows mortals to rival gods. There is also a saying that it contains a magical elixir of immortality."

Dudley listened to Hermione's explanation and stared at the small box in the picture. Thoughts quickly flew through his mind, and finally he came up with a bold guess.

When we parted last time, Diana said that she was going to the north to "regain the glory of the witcher." But what exactly is the glory of the witcher?The two of them wiped out the vampires in the entire "Castlevania". Isn't that enough for the demon hunter to feel "honored"?

In other words, the "glory" she is talking about does not refer to defeating a powerful enemy or gaining recognition from the world, but is the name of a specific thing.

Is there anything or event that the witcher has lost that is crucial to the future of the witcher?After much deliberation, Dudley had only one answer, and that was "reproduction", which meant creating new witchers.

This "Legend of the Northland" also records the appearance of the demon hunters. Just as Diana described, they must first take the "secret medicine" before they can use the magic power in their bodies to enhance their physical combat effectiveness. However, before they met Dudley What I know is slightly different is that many ordinary people can also be trained to become demon hunters.

Then the key thing is this "secret medicine". Dudley combined Hermione's description of the "Coffin of Frost". Maybe it doesn't contain void energy or the magic medicine of immortality, but hunting. The origin of the devil.

If Diana could write to him, she must have gotten clues about the "Coffin of Frost", but how would Dudley get to Diana?

After chatting with Hermione for a while in the small garden, Hermione didn't think that Dudley would really find this secret treasure that had been legendary for thousands of years. She just regarded it as a source of small talk. But after returning to the dormitory, Dudley As if thinking of something, he took out the bone mailbox that contained the letter.

He carefully observed the appearance. Although there were some simple symbols carved on it, there were no special mechanisms. However, when Dudley put his little finger into the mailbox and touched it, a notification popped up in the Ordnance Manual system:

[Warning: Due to the influence of the Hogwarts Defense Circle, the teleportation effect is disabled. ]
