In the next few days, Ryan visited a lot of places and had to admit that Floo Network did have this convenient side. It let Ryan travel to many places to feast his eyes.

Whether it is under the sunlight of the extreme daylight, the colorful wooden houses of the local residents appear more beautiful as if with a filter, or the snow-covered glacier, or even the river ice that reflects the sparkling light from the glacier. These sceneries have brought an excellent travel experience to Ryan.

And on the magic side, he visited and fed the giant monsters of the North Sea, lamenting that these giant monsters may be bigger than the giant squid at Hogwarts, and he also admired the endangered animals in the reserve.

Naturally, Ryan took a lot of photos. He carefully selected a few of them for the photo studio to make postcards and sent them to his friends through the Northern Owl Post Office.

This made him receive a lot of letters from owls the next day. Some roommates expressed their envy, and the Weasley twins asked Ryan to purchase some magical ingredients unique to Iceland (because Ryan has read many and mixed books, When the Weasley twins were discussing a question, Ryan replied smoothly. Then a friendship was slowly established).

It's just that in Ron and Hermione's letters, in addition to normal friends talk, they both mentioned that they had never received a letter from Harry since the summer break, so they were a little worried.

Ryan didn't see Harry's reply in this batch of replies either. He knew that his letter was highly likely intercepted by the house-elf Dobby like Hermione's, Ron's, and the others. So Ryan wrote to Hermione and told them to send a letter to Professor Dumbledore as he should be paying attention to Harry's safety, so there should be no major problems. But if you don't get any concrete reply either, you can go to Harry's house to have a look.

Time passes slowly in this kind of leisure tour, and this environment gives people a sense of relaxation that has never been felt in industrial places. At least Ryan felt that the exhaustion of his parents due to work seemed to have been reduced a lot.

Ryan was roaming around one day in Reykjavík, while he was going towards a museum. Suddenly an oil painting on the street attracted him.

This oil painting belongs to a painter who sits on the street and sells paintings. The level of the painting is very ordinary, but the mountain on the painting looks almost the same as the mountain on the treasure map he got.

So he stepped forward and asked the painter: "Sir, where exactly is this place in the painting? I have been traveling here for several days, but I have never seen the mountain portrayed on this painting."

The painter put down the pen in his hand and said: "This is a scene I saw when I was hiking on Mount Askja a few years ago. The weather was very clear that day. A few of my companions and I were going to Viti Lake to experience the geothermal lake and do some swimming. It's a pleasure of a lifetime. But, the sky changed abruptly in the middle of the journey."

At this point, the painter shuddered as if he was thinking of something terrible, and then he continued: "The wind was very strong at the time. We sat in the car and were worried that the car would be blown away. The wind stopped after half an hour. I saw a group of devil-like peaks popping up on the empty ice sheet, and they disappeared in less than a minute after they appeared in front of me."

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

Ryan thought after listening to the painter's words: Most of the time it is invisible, and only occasionally is discovered. This is quite in line with the situation when wizards use magic to cover certain places. If some hidden magic arrays are not maintained, they will indeed occasionally fail after a long period.

It seems that I need to investigate it first. After bidding farewell to the painter, Ryan found a hidden place, took out the cosmetics he bought before, put on makeup on his face, disguised himself as a Native American (This is from the Assassin's heritage too). Then went to Sakya(magical commercial) Street to inquire about the news.

Ryan disguised himself as an aboriginal wizard who had traveled from America. He spoke to the shop owners in English with a Spanish Caribbean accent, and he soon reaped the rewards.

That place is a natural magic point, so a magic barrier is formed to prevent others from discovering it. The wizards only discovered this place thirty years ago. It's just that the wizard who explored it in the past found only an abandoned altar in that place and nothing else.

So there are basically no wizards going to visit it nowadays. But if you want to go there, it is not difficult. Use the Floo network to go to the Alpine Giant Monster Reserve of Vatnajökull Glacier, and then rent a broom to fly for about ten minutes.

After collecting this information, Ryan felt extremely saddened. I thought I had discovered an incredible treasure, but that the place had been discovered long ago and even opened up as a tourist spot, but it was still unpopular because it had no special features. This made him feel a deep sense of loss.

Now that the location has been found, it will be a pity to not check it out.

The next morning, Ryan planned to go and pick up good things in the Devil's Peak altar.

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

There is a counter not far from the fireplace, where a middle-aged wizard in his 50s is dozing off. Ryan went over and woke him up: "I'm going to the Devil's Mountain Altar, can you rent me a broom here?"

"Oh, another young man is looking for the treasures written in legends, but now there are fewer and fewer people like you." The middle-aged wizard said, rubbing his sleepy eyes. "12 sickles a day, deposit five Galleons. " After finishing speaking, he took a broom that seemed to be OK and put it on the counter.

After paying the money, Ryan spent three more sickles renting a robe with heating function and a goggle. After all, it was very cold to fly in the sky, and he was busy learning the Stupefy spell and some spells related to combat. He didn't have time to teach himself life mantras such as heat preservation charm.

This place is not far from the Altar of Devil's Mountain, and you can even see the peaks that are strangely shaped like the devil from a distance.

Ryan rode the flying broomstick, and it took him ten minutes to get there. This was because the broomstick was relatively old, and Ryan had some problems with his driving skills. If Harry rode his Nimbus 2000, he might be able to cover this distance in less than five minutes. Lowering the broom, Ryan found that the broom parking was at the beginning of a small gravel road. He put down his broom and followed the direction indicated by the sign on the side of the road and proceeded along the gravel road towards the altar.
