Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 163 Magic Talent Test
Lynn Bailey was already in charge of all the businesses of the Bailey Chamber of Commerce when she was fifteen years old.

This was the important task her father had entrusted to her before his death, and he had also asked his uncle Ryan Bailey to assist her.

However, since the family has such a large industry, there are bound to be people who are dissatisfied, so Lynn had the experience of being poisoned by her cousin.

It was also from this lesson that Lynn realized that in order to truly control the Chamber of Commerce, she must possess powerful strength.

And now the opportunity to gain power lies in the young wizard in front of him.

"Ms. Bailey, I have to remind you that there is no perfect magic in this world. There is only magic that suits you."

Although Moon has only been learning magic for three months, he has been exposed to much more magic than most magicians in this world.

It was also because of this that he knew that even the magic at Hogwarts needed improvement.

"But Mr. Scarlett, shouldn't I first choose to learn the most perfect magic possible, and then make it the perfect magic that suits me?"

Lynne Bailey was able to completely take over the Bailey Chamber of Commerce within two years because her eloquence and logical ability were far stronger than those of ordinary people.

Even though Moon had learned a little bit from Ron, he still had no chance of winning against the head of the Chamber of Commerce.

Especially the choice Lynn Bailey mentioned reminded Moon of what the Sorting Hat said to him.

【Choice is better than blind effort. 】

This sentence was very applicable to Moon in the past, but it is different for Lynn now.

Because the person she chose did not accept his choice.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Bailey, but I barely have time to teach others magic now."

Seeing Moon say this solemnly, Lynn was disappointed at first, but then immediately smiled again.

"Of course I understand. Even if you saw my magical talent first, I can't force you to teach me magic."

Hearing that the other party understood, Moon breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he was still a little afraid that the other party would persist in pursuing him, as that might affect his purchase of supplies through the Bailey Chamber of Commerce.

However, when Moon heard Lynn Bailey talk about testing magical talent, it reminded him of something.

"Ms. Bailey, can I study the magic talent testing device you mentioned that you bought from the Magicians' Association?"

Moon also remembered taking a magic test when he was 7 years old in Xilin.

The testing process involved a spellcaster pressing down on each child's head and performing some kind of induction magic.

Moon didn't know what the content of this magic was, but he knew that the success rate of this magic should not be very high.

Of course, in addition to this, Moon also underwent another kind of magic test.

That is the mysterious admission letter from Hogwarts.

Ron once told him that Hogwarts never missed out on any young wizard of school age.

This extremely high success rate comes from two magical alchemical items: the Pen of Acceptance and the Book of Admission.

Most outsiders cannot see these two items, even professors in the school.

Moon happened to be studying alchemy recently, based on his current experience.

The level of alchemical items that can test the magician's talent will be very high.

This made Moon very curious. What exactly was the alchemical creation that the Bailey family bought from the Magicians Association?
"Of course. Although this alchemical item is extremely valuable, it has been unused for five years. I'll have someone fetch it right away."

After Lynn Bailey finished speaking, she looked at the maid beside her, who nodded and left the room.

"By the way, Mr. Scarlett, judging by your accent, you must be from the mainland, right?"

"Yes, Xilin Town, Liuyun City."

Seeing that the other party agreed to lend the alchemical items so readily, Moon responded very happily.

"Oh, a federal coastal town, but you don't seem to be a spellcaster, right?"

Hearing Lynn still asking, Moon instantly stared at her.

"Oh, don't mind me. I'm just very curious about your background."

In Lynn Bailey's opinion, since Moon came from the Federation and did not participate in the war, he was not a spellcaster.

I have never seen the testing equipment of the Magicians Association, and that person is not a wizard from the Magicians Association.

And Moon himself possesses very advanced magic, which is obviously not an ability possessed by those wizards who hide and study magic alone.

While Lynn was thinking about the problem, Moon saw some of Hermione's potential in her.

But this woman seems to be more powerful.

Just as Lynn Bailey was thinking, her maid brought back a small silver box.

When Moon saw the other party come back, he immediately stepped forward and took the box, then nodded to Lynn.

"It's already late today, and the patient needs to rest early, so I won't disturb him. As for this thing, I will send it back as soon as I finish studying it."

After Moon finished speaking, he left the room filled with fragrance without waiting for the other party to say anything.

"Miss, you let him take it away like that. Aren't you afraid he'll tear it apart? That's something the family spent 10 gold coins to buy."

The maid became anxious when she saw that Lynn did not stop her.

"What are you afraid of? Mr. Scarlett is not a man of few words. Besides, there's no need to keep a device that doesn't detect my talent."

Lynn Bailey had no interest in the alchemical creation worth 10 gold coins. She was more curious about Moon himself.

"What a mysterious boy! I'm becoming more and more interested in him."

Moon didn't know what Lynn Bailey was thinking. After he left the room, he saw Downs waiting in the corridor.

Under the guidance of this acquaintance, he left the castle and returned to the Scarlet Moon outside.

After entering his laboratory, Moon directly opened the silver box.

Inside was an alchemical item made mainly of gold, and a rectangular folded leaf.

Moon first opened the foldout, which contained an introduction and instructions for use of this magical device.

Lascaux Magic Tester.

One of the most important alchemical items of the Magicians Association, its main body is the operating device for secret gold refining.

It is engraved with very complex magical runes and patterns.

A round crystal ball is embedded on top of this device, and inside the ball is a transparent liquid.

"According to the leaflet, this liquid is called Lascaux Liquid, and it was accidentally discovered by a magician of the same name."

The most important part of the entire device is this extremely unstable liquid.

With just the slightest change in temperature, it vaporizes and solidifies, changing color.

The testing principle is that the person being tested places his hands on both sides of the secret gold device.

Then the magic circle above will automatically detect trace amounts of magic in the body of the person being tested.

When the presence of magical power can be detected, the Lascaux fluid in the crystal ball will change, and magical talent can be tested.

Moon now knows four ways to test a wizard's magical talent.

The first was the spellcaster's induction magic that he had personally experienced.

The second is what Lynne Bailey calls the non-believer's meditation induction method. The third is the Hogwarts Pen of Acceptance and Book of Admission.

The last one is the Lasco magic tester that Moon is currently researching.

After Moon got the alchemical item back, he tried it on himself first.

Following the instructions on the foldout, he placed his hands on either side of the secret gold base.

Then he felt a warm sensation coming from the alchemical item.

Then the magic rune on the secret device flashed a red light, and then Moon saw that the liquid in the crystal ball had undergone drastic changes.

First it started to boil and the color turned red.

Then, the boiling liquid lined up and ran to the wall of the crystal ball.

Moreover, the color depth is constantly deepening, and the liquid is constantly boiling and moving violently as if it wants to run out.

Seeing such a strange scene, Moon suddenly let go of his hands.

Then he saw the Lascaux liquid reluctantly returning slowly to the bottom of the crystal ball.

"The brochure didn't say there would be such a drastic change."

According to the instructions that came with this alchemical item, the instrument did not have the function of testing the magician's strength; it could only sense the presence of magical energy.

Therefore, the biggest change that occurs to Lascaux fluid is generally solidification or boiling, and then the color will change slightly.

But when Moon was testing himself, he found that the liquid seemed to come alive and wanted to get close to him as much as possible.

"There must be something wrong with this device, otherwise why hasn't Lynn Bailey's magical talent been tested?"

When Moon was studying at Hogwarts, Hermione told him that there was actually not much difference in the talents of wizards.

But Moon knew that this statement was probably not very accurate.

Because he already knew through the wizard article that some magicians were indeed more talented than others in specific areas.

The drastic changes that had just occurred in the device made Moon doubt that there were actually differences in the talents of magicians.

When Moon was chatting with his roommates in the dormitory, he learned that each little wizard had already shown some magical characteristics before entering school.

Harry was able to make the glass at the zoo disappear.

Neville was able to keep his body afloat in mid-air.

Seamus was able to set his family's study on fire with his screams.

Of course, through these special things, Moon didn't know whose talent was stronger.

But in comparison, Moon's magical talent is even more bizarre.

He can travel across the world.

"I hope Hermione is right. A wizard's talent cannot be measured."

After testing it once, Moon no longer touched the testing instrument directly with his hands. Instead, he put on gloves and took out the monocular.

Through the monocular, Moon discovered that the level of Slaco's magic tester was much higher than that of the alchemical key.

It emitted a golden-white glow overall, but the color was far less intense than that of the old willow wand.

After checking the level, Moon began to copy the alchemical runes in order.

Because this thing has to be returned to the Bailey family, and Moon wants to study the best way, which is naturally to copy down the mysterious runes on it.

The five sides of the base of the magic tester are all engraved with dense runes, which form nested magic circles.

The edges of four of the magic circles extended directly to the bottom of the crystal ball.

It should be that they transferred the magical energy to the Lascaux liquid.

Although Moon couldn't understand it yet, he knew that it would be difficult to see this kind of alchemical creation again if he missed it, so he copied it very carefully.

For the next two days, Moon read in the Bailey family's library during the day and returned to the ship to copy rune magic circles at night.

In that small library, Moon discovered a hidden door leading to a deeper room through his monocular.

He guessed that was where the Bailey family's true magician inheritance secret lay.

But he was not interested in those, as the Hogwarts library was enough for him to study.

On the second night of studying the magic tester, the veterans sent by Zalan returned.

"We followed the ship for quite a distance and discovered that after it left the waterway, it continued heading north, probably heading back to Port Nitzi."

After Hall came back, he first gulped down a large glass of water before speaking slowly.

The port of Nitsch was where Moon came from, and it was there that he dealt with the two magicians of the Faithless.

Moon didn't know whether the magician named Montoya was going to investigate the disappearance of his subordinates.

Anyway, for Moon, since the other party has no intention of deepening the conflict, he has no intention of provoking the unbelievers.

"Well, in that case, we will say goodbye to the Bailey family tomorrow and leave Myrzu Castle the day after tomorrow."

After discussing with Zalan, Moon decided on the next departure schedule.

But before their little meeting was over, Lance came outside the room.

"Mr. Scarlett, there's a member of the Bailey family downstairs who wants to see you about something important."

"To see me? Ask him to come up."

Moon did not intervene in the matter between Ryan Bailey and Lynn these two days.

He originally thought that both parties no longer planned to look for him, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't escape.

Soon Lance led a man up from under the boat, and Moon recognized him at a glance.

"Are you the waiter who works for Mr. Ryan Bailey?"

"Yes, Mr. Scarlett."

Moon remembered clearly that it was this waiter who cut his palm to test the hemostatic potion on his first day at Myrzu Castle.

Zalan also knew the other party's identity, so after seeing the other party, he immediately walked in front of Moon and blocked the other party's most likely attack route.

"Mr. Skarling, I mean no harm. I just want to tell you that Montoya's ship has not left, but is hidden in a secluded corner of the fjord."

Hearing the other party say this, Moon took a breath unconsciously, but before he could say anything, Hall next to him stood up.

"How is that possible? We followed him for two days and found that he went north."

"You only followed him for the first half of the journey. After returning to Nitzi Harbor, he quickly retraced his steps. I was riding a horse, and I saw you on the road as well."

After hearing the waiter's explanation, Hall stopped arguing because he really didn't know that the ship had returned.

"Sorry, I will definitely investigate more carefully next time."

Knowing that what the waiter said was most likely true, Hall lowered his head and said something to Moon and Zalan.

"Don't say that, Uncle Hall. I think as long as we settle down, you can ride horses every day. After all, this is also Brad's wish."

After comforting the old soldier, Moon turned to look at the waiter in front of him.

"Sir, why are you helping me? Did Mr. Ryan ask you to do this?"
