Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 161: Islands Wizard Power
On the way out of Maierzu Castle, Towns looked very excited.

He never thought that a young magician he hired could solve the family's problems.

Especially since he has made great contributions in recommending Moon this time, his position in the Chamber of Commerce will definitely be further improved.

"Mr. Scarlett, thank you very much. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to contact me. This is Mr. Bailey's personal instruction."

Towns kept hunching over while talking to Moon, hoping to appear more respectful.

Moon had a very good impression of the Chamber of Commerce director.

He never showed any suspicion towards Moon, and even though he knew that Moon was very young, he maintained a respectful attitude.

"Mr. Downs, I have run out of animal horns. I hope you can prepare all the potion ingredients tomorrow."

"Don't worry about that. A speedboat has already departed this afternoon and is expected to get the horns you want tomorrow."

"So fast? You won't hurt these animals directly, right?"

After hearing how quickly the Bailey family acted, Moon became a little worried about the unicorn.

"Oh, of course not. The Bailey family has been raising these pointy-horned horses for a long time. When some old horses pass away, their horns are preserved."

Hearing what Towns said, Moon instantly felt that coming to the Bailey family this time was the right choice.

Since the Bailey family has the ability to raise unicorns, they must have a lot of magic materials, which saves Moon from having to look for magic materials everywhere.

"Well, besides, I want to know about the magicians in the Venus Islands."

Moon will be living on the Vina Islands for a long time, so he must get to know the environment here.

Especially since Moon had just arrived on Solman Island and had already had a conflict with the Faithless, this forced him to be more careful.

"Oh, you're worried about Mr. Montoya?"

Towns had already noticed during today's alchemy process that Montoya had been blocking the alchemy, which would inevitably lead to conflicts with Moon.

"Yes, what is the identity of this magician?"

After hearing Moon's question, Downs subconsciously looked around and found that no one from the castle was following him, so he answered in a low voice.

"Actually, Mr. Montoya is a friend of Mr. Ryan. He had always wanted to have the potion master from the Faithless Organization rescue Miss Lynn, but their potion master disappeared and has not been found yet."

After Monteria mentioned the name of the Faithless Potion Master, Moon knew that their Potion Master would never be found.

Because Fao Holmes had been killed by the pirates, and Moon also obtained the alchemy key he was carrying.

However, Moon originally thought that Fao Holmes was just an alchemist, but now it seems that he is also a relatively versatile wizard.

"The Faithless? Are they that powerful?"

"Yes, sir, their influence should be quite significant, but you'll have to ask Mr. Ryan for details. The Bailey family's contacts with the magicians are all Mr. Ryan's business."

Hearing Tang Si say that the power of the Faithless was not small, Moon felt a great sense of crisis.

After seeing off Tang Si on the Scarlet Moon, Moon saw Zalan who had returned early.

"The ship has left. We don't know the exact situation on it, but we saw a lot of slaves."

The ship that Zalan was talking about was naturally the sailboat of the Faithless that they saw when they arrived at the castle.

Moon insisted on returning to the Scarlet Moon just to find out what the other party would do next.

"Although he has left, the other party's attitude is still unclear. We'd better be on guard."

"Don't worry, I've already asked Hall and the others to follow the ship and conduct reconnaissance. They'll report back if they get any news."

After hearing Zalan's arrangement, Moon felt it was a bit risky, but he also thought it was the most appropriate solution at the moment.

If it's not a fight, but just reconnaissance, the veterans are indeed stronger than Moon.

"By the way, how do you plan to resolve the Bailey family issue? I see they're interested in recruiting you."

Hearing Zalan's words, Moon shook his head.

"I came here and promised to save people just to learn more about the magical world and to have a channel to obtain materials. As for recruiting, I will not agree to it."

When Ryan was giving medicine to the patients today, Moon noticed that their expressions were very wrong.

After having the experience of using memory recall, Moon can still clearly remember when Lynn Bailey woke up.

Ryan's expression was obviously more nervous than happy.

"I don't want to get involved with a family like this that has magicians and is very powerful. After we get what we want, we'll leave."

Moon's positioning of the Bailey family is that they can only cooperate, but there will be no affiliation.

After all, he just wanted to use their power, not to become their power.

After agreeing with Zalan on what to do next, Moon returned to his room to continue studying magic.

It was not difficult for Moon to make the potion this time, but the Bailey family's test of magical talent caught Moon's attention.

A family like this with strong financial resources and the ability to hire many magicians to test children of appropriate age could still miss something.

And those children who were tested only once, or not at all, may have quite a few.

Just like Moon himself, he had only undergone a spellcaster's induction test and was then judged to have no talent.

Fortunately, he was discovered by Professor McGonagall in another world and was able to enter Hogwarts to study.

"Although this ability of mine is strange, it seems to have a greater use."

After Moon's potion was successful, everyone on the Scarlet Moon received the warmest hospitality at the Maierzu Castle.

Various delicacies and fine wines were continuously delivered to the Feiyue, and many servants were busy serving.

Moon did not stop this from happening to everyone's delight.

He cast multiple layers of [Thief Sense Spell] on the Scarlet Moon and was not worried about any abnormal behavior from the Bailey family.

The next morning, after enjoying a high-standard breakfast, Moon came to the castle again and began to refine the second batch of potions.

Because the Bailey family urged them, the unicorn horn was delivered this morning.

This time, Moon spent an hour and got three doses of antidote.

"Mr. Scarlett, thank you very much."

After Ryan took the potion, he handed it to the maid beside Lynn, and then he led Moon to the reception room.

"I apologize for what happened yesterday. I really didn't expect your potion to be so effective."

After Ryan said this, he asked the waiter to bring a new silver ring.

"This is my personal token of gratitude. With this ring, you can enjoy a 30% discount on all purchases at Bailey's Chamber of Commerce. In addition, this is the reward for refining the potion."

Moon took the ring and a deposit slip from the Bailey Chamber of Commerce, which contained 1000 gold coins.

"Can anyone redeem this deposit?"

"Yes, if you don't have time, you can ask your waiter to come and exchange it. It's very convenient."

Mu En still remembered that he found a deposit note of Bailey Chamber of Commerce with a face value of 3000 gold coins on the two captured magicians.

He had originally thought he'd need to go in person to deposit these tickets, but now it seemed he had an extra fund. Watching Moon unceremoniously put the two items away, Ryan smiled and waved the waiter away.

"I heard from Downs yesterday that Mr. Scarlett was asking about Montoya. Actually, you don't have to worry at all."

"Why, Mr. Bailey, do you think Montoya won't give me any trouble?"

Moon had no good feelings towards the faithless magician, and he was also prepared for the other party to take action.

After hearing what Ryan Bailey said, Moon still wanted to figure things out.

"I don't think Montoya will. After all, the Faithless still have a very big problem to solve."

"Big trouble? What is it?"

Seeing that Moon really cared about this matter, Ryan Bailey smiled and slowly began to explain.

"The Faithless do have considerable influence on the Vena Islands, but their biggest challenge is dealing with the capture and capture by spellcasters."

The Spellcasters are the orthodox magician organization of the Gracia Federation, and everything else is declared heresy by them.

Moon knew all this as early as when he was in Xilin.

Although the Vena Islands are far away from the continent where the Federation is located, they are still under the jurisdiction of the Federation.

So it's not surprising that there are spellcasters stationed there.

"Mr. Bailey, if you say so, then battles between wizards often occur on the Vena Islands."

In Moon's opinion, since Ryan Bailey said that the power of the faithless is not small, and the spellcasters are a regular wizard force and do not recognize other magician organizations, war is bound to happen.

"Yes, for most ordinary people in the Federation, the Vena Islands are indeed a good place to escape the disasters of war, but for magicians, this is obviously not the case."

With Ryan's explanation, Moon had a basic understanding of the situation on the Vena Islands.

The Venetian Islands were the least affected during the last federal sovereignty war.

It is precisely because of this that the Faithless organization of unknown origin has set its sights on this archipelago.

They came here thirty years ago, intending to occupy the archipelago and collect magical information.

However, they encountered resistance from the spellcaster as soon as they arrived.

In fact, on the Vina Islands, the strength of the two magician organizations is not much different.

However, in the early stages of this war, the casters were at a disadvantage because their forces were too dispersed as they had to guard five major island groups.

This tug-of-war has lasted for thirty years now, and the Venetian Islands have gradually stabilized.

But the caster always wants to regain lost ground, so small-scale battles continue.

"Mr. Bailey, based on what you said, will the battle between wizards affect ordinary people?"

Moon knew very well that magicians possessed extraordinary powers.

If fighting breaks out between such groups, it will inevitably affect the lives of ordinary people.

This isn't the world Hogwarts in.

The institutions that manage wizards there are very unified and complete, and there is even a powerful "International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy".

"This is inevitable, Mr. Scarlett, but compared to the war going on on the mainland, the impact of the conflict here on ordinary people is already very small."

According to Bailey, battles between wizards rarely take place in busy cities or densely populated areas.

One reason is that wizards all know that places with dense crowds often mean more accidents.

No one can guarantee that during a battle, the enemy's helpers will not suddenly appear from the crowd.

Another point is that both non-believers and spellcasters believe that ordinary people also have great value and ability.

Serving as servants, slaves, research materials and inheritance tools.

This is the most common understanding of ordinary people by ancient magicians.

Although spellcasters and non-believers do not agree, they also know that magicians do need to rely on ordinary people.

It was only today, through Ryan's explanation, that Moon truly understood the magician's evaluation of ordinary people.

He didn't understand why wizards in the world of Hogwarts would hide.

Now it seems that the world is developing along the same historical trajectory.

Flintlock rifles have appeared, firearms technology is still developing, and the power wielded by ordinary people will become stronger and stronger.

When this energy becomes too great for ordinary wizards to bear, that is when magicians will truly exit the stage of human history.

However, this problem is not what Moon needs to think about now. His most important thing now is to find a place to study magic properly.

"Mr. Bailey, you just said that the caster originally guarded the five main islands, but I remember there are six island groups in the Vena Archipelago, right?"

"This issue will involve all the magician forces on the Vena Islands."

As a magician born and raised on the Vena Islands, Ryan Bailey is very familiar with the wizarding forces here.

There are now four magical forces in the Vena Islands.

The biggest of these is the spellcaster.

Not only do they occupy the three largest main islands, but they also have the support of the Spellcaster Academy on the mainland.

As for the second force, it is the faithless.

After thirty years of constant struggle, they seized control of two islands, one of which was Solman Island where Moon now lived.

Of course, their grasp is not yet complete, and spellcasters have been trying to regain control of the island.

The third force is the native island magicians like the Bailey family.

They either hide themselves or rely on their families to survive, and in short, they will try their best to avoid getting involved in the struggle between the two sides.

The fourth and most mysterious magician force: the tribal wizards of Xingjin Island.

"I can understand that as a magician, but don't the tribal wizards on Xingjin Island participate in the war?"

Being able to occupy an island group and not let the two major magician forces compete with them seemed a bit strange to Moon.

"We know very little about those tribal wizards. We only have business dealings with them from time to time, but the battles between wizards never spread there."

After hearing Ryan's ambiguous statement, Moon became even more curious about this smallest island group.

After seeing Moon's expression, Ryan pondered for a moment and continued.

"But I also saw some mention of them in the family records. Spellcasters once broke into Xingjin Island, but they later came out safe and sound, and never set their sights on this island again."

"The caster failed?"

Moon asked curiously.

"I don't know, but the wizards in my family once speculated that there should be a very powerful magician or some kind of magical guardian creature on Xingjin Island."
