Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 130 More than one magician
Long-range shooting at sea is much more difficult than on land.

The boat beneath my feet was rocking with the waves, as was the pirate ship I was targeting, and the wind was constantly changing.
All of these factors make it extremely difficult for bullets and arrows to hit their targets.

Compared to Miles' flintlock rifle that could only hold one bullet, the crew on the Thorn's guns were more backward, but they had more in number.

Moon's [Leg Lock Curse] and [Petrification Curse] can also control the target to the maximum extent.

This gave the crew of the Thorn more confidence. Although their marksmanship was still poor, they could cause much more damage to the pirates.

"Everyone get down!"

After figuring out how the crew members were hit by arrows, Miles roared at all the pirates on the deck.

"Boss! Is there more than one magician on the other side?"

It can summon fire and lock legs, especially since the magic is cast so quickly.

This made the pirates wonder about the number of magicians on the opposing ship.

"No matter how many there are, I'll have someone stand in front and give me a chance to reload. Even if there are only two magicians, they will still die!"

Moon's [Leg Lock Curse] combined with Zalan and the veterans' archery skills, plus the crew's muskets with a pitifully low hit rate.

The number of pirates on the opposite deck was reduced by more than fifty people.

"Sir Scarlett, what should we do if they all lie down?"

Gold was now on deck commanding all the musketeers.

After realizing that there was no target in sight, he shouted anxiously to Moon.

"Don't worry! Have everyone load their guns, I'll make them jump."

"Roger that!"

After hearing Moon's order, Gold gave orders to the temporary musketeers in front without any question.

"Hey little brats, you all heard me? If those bastards jump up, shoot them! Shoot them hard!"

Among this makeshift musketeers, the ones with the highest hit rate were not the crew members on the Thorn, but the people who walked out of the lower cabin.

Lance, as the chief guard of the Governor of Liuyun City, is very proficient in gunmanship.

After leaving Albert in the care of the little witch Chris, he resolutely joined the battle against the pirates.

Because there was a safe enough distance between them and the pirate ship, Lance would intentionally or unintentionally look at Moon, who was guarded in the middle by the veteran, every time he loaded and unloaded gunpowder.

Lance had seen the spellcaster before.

But he had never heard of a magician as young as Moon who could cast spells so quickly.

"Fortunately, there is such a magician on this ship."

Just as this thought flashed through Lance's mind, roars came from the pirate ship opposite again.

But this time the pirates were not excited, but in pain.

After the pirates lay down, although they were protected by the side of the ship, their hair and clothes were inevitably exposed.

The power of the [Fire Spell] was revealed again.

As the range of Moon's wand gradually expanded, the pirates on the deck of the Sea Serpent jumped up in panic.

"Fire! Fire!"

"It's burning me~"

"help me!"

As the pirates hurriedly used their hands to put out the flames in their hair, another round of arrows and bullets came over.

Because they were prepared this time, the crew on the Thorn had much better accuracy.

The pirates had never encountered such a situation before, and the double blow of fire and arrows made them feel afraid for the first time.

Some pirates chose to jump into the sea after finding that the fire on their bodies could not be extinguished.

As for more pirates, they found larger shelters and fled into the cabins.

"Return! Return! Tell those bugs to row faster. There are definitely more than two magicians on the other side!"

After entering the cabin, Miles closed the cabin trapdoor with some fear. No matter how much the pirates on the deck begged, he didn't want to open this wooden door to hell again.

The pirates who had followed Miles into the cabin also wanted to return one by one.

They picked up long whips and began to beat the slaves who were responsible for rowing the oars.

"Your Excellency, there are still thirty-two pirates on deck."

Gold no longer had the fear he had when he first saw the pirates. He was even a little excited now.

"Follow me!"

After Moon discovered that the pirates were about to escape, he immediately changed his strategy.

It was after the pirate ship turned that the most bizarre scene in nearly a thousand years occurred in this sea area.

A medium-sized merchant ship was actually chasing the dreaded pirates.

Moon paid no attention to the pirates hiding on the deck.

After seeing the pirates close the cabin trapdoor out of fear, he began looking for targets on the deck.

The explosion of the gunpowder barrel just now destroyed many things on the deck, making it difficult for Moon to find a large box.

But he still found one at the stern of the pirate ship.

Because there were no cannons or gunpowder at this location, the impact was minimal.

【Box Moving】

This is one of the life-support spells that Moon originally prepared for ocean voyages.

Now it has become a large padlock that blocks the pirates' escape route.

When Gold and Zalan commanded the musketeers and archers.

Moon was also using a spell to gradually move the very heavy box closer to the trapdoor.

Some pirates also noticed the strange movement of the box.

But as long as they dare to come out to stop them, only arrows and bullets will be waiting for them.

Bang!

The large wooden box accurately blocked the trapdoor, and the latch and hinges on the door just held the box firmly in place.

"Get ready to board the ship!"

After Moon completed this ultra-long-distance [Box Move], he gave another order.

"Jump! Jump!"

Gold was extremely excited. In the past, he had heard the word "boarding" mostly shouted by pirates at them.

But after he tried shouting today, he realized that this is what comfort feels like!
Although the Sea Snake was a three-masted sailing ship, its sails had long been burned, and only the oarsmen who were rowing desperately were maintaining its speed.

But this is still not as fast as the Thorn with a tailwind.

As the distance between the two ships grew closer, Gold was the first to throw a rope toward the pirate ship.

Then the crew members followed suit and threw out the ropes in their hands.

This is a thing with a solid iron hook at the head and a strong hemp rope at the back end.

Merchant ships generally use it to secure ships in extreme weather, while pirates use it to lock prey that is about to escape.

After more than a dozen iron chains hooked the pirate ship, Moon could feel that the speed of the ship under his feet had slowed down significantly.

"Locked! Prepare to build a wooden bridge!"

At Gold's command, the first mate Karen led his men to place the five long wooden boards that had been prepared in advance between the two ships.

Then the crew members, aroused by their ferocity, drew their swords, stepped over the wooden boards and ropes and came onto the Sea Serpent.

Moon did not stay on the Thorn all the time. After helping the crew to eliminate all the pirates on the deck.

Five veterans escorted him across the wooden bridge and arrived at the cabin passage on the Sea Snake.
