Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 189 Fire Emblem Key
Moon didn't bring much back from Montoya's sailboat.

It all fits in one small package.

A stack of letters from within the Faithless Organization, a copy of Montoya's own magic manual, a spell-assisting ring, three bottles of potions, and the corpse of a fire snake.

Moon first opened all the letters and read them.

Through the contents of these letters, Moon knew most of the secrets of the Faithless Organization.

As the leader of the Faithless on Solman Island, Montoya obviously knew more information than the two captured magicians.

Moon originally thought that the Faithless Organization was only composed of about twenty wizards on the Vena Islands.

But judging from the information in these letters, the power of the Faithless Organization is greater than Moon imagined.

This organization has been established for over a hundred years and has at least hundreds of wizard members.

At the beginning of the faithless life, a firm goal was established.

【Against the Holy Church】

And they have been implementing this goal over the years.

Since the establishment of the Unbelievers, they have launched three large-scale attacks on the Holy Church, but all of them ended in failure.

Even before the final operation, the secret base of the Faithless Organization was discovered by a cardinal of the Holy Church and magically destroyed.

Then their leader was also arrested by the Holy Church and imprisoned.

In the letter, Montoya speculated that a traitor appeared within the Faithless Organization, which led to the failure of their four operations.

It was also after the failure of this operation that the Faithless organization fell into division.

One of them came to the Vina Islands and tried to settle down and survive there.

However, when they first landed on the island, they were forcefully expelled by local spellcasters.

Then, in the next thirty years, the Faithless seized two islands in the archipelago through repeated wars, barely supporting the survival of the remaining forces of the organization.

"It turns out the source of the Faithless is not on this continent."

After checking the information in the library of Maierzu Castle, Moon already knew that the Holy Church's ruling area was on the Kotel continent, which was across the sea from the Federation.

There are no countries on that continent, and everyone must obey the orders of the Holy Church.

It was also on this continent that the Non-Faith Organization launched a rebellion against the authority of the Holy Church.

"I wonder if we can use the Bailey family's banquet as a cover to deceive them."

Moon originally chose to launch a counterattack on the night of the banquet in order to avoid a direct conflict with the Faithless Organization.

Now it seems that this choice was very wise.

But now that he knows the background of this organization, he is still a little worried.

According to the contents of the letter, this non-believers force on the Vena Islands is only one-third of the original organization.

In addition to finding a suitable place to survive, they have also been actively preparing to rescue the leader of the unbelievers who was imprisoned by the Holy Church.

The alchemical key that Wu Muen accidentally obtained was actually the secret weapon they had prepared.

The letter stated that this key was forged by an alchemist from the Magicians Association specially hired by the Faithless.

Specially used to break the Holy Light Prison of the Holy Church.

"The true name of the alchemical key is the Fire Emblem Key, which has the effect of restraining the magic of the Holy Church."

After reading the relevant content in the letter, Moon took out the alchemical key for comparison.

He now not only knew the purpose of the key, but also figured out its specific material.

The main part of the key is star-patterned cloud iron.

This was found by the Faithless Organization in a mysterious valley on the continent of Kotel.

This meteorite is extremely hard and contains a trace of mysterious energy from the starry sky, making it naturally resistant to magic.

The teeth of the key are made of amber stone, which is mined deep in the volcano.

The pure and blazing fire magic is sealed by the rune magic circle.

According to the alchemist's design concept, this kind of fire magic can just burn the special wood used to make the Holy Light Cage.

As for the key handle, it is wrapped with a layer of python skin.

It can enhance the magical resonance between the user and the key, and keenly perceive the user's intentions.

Even in the end, if the key fails, the snake skin will absorb the wizard's own abilities as a supplement.

"No wonder this key has such a high magical energy."

Moon had once observed this alchemical key through a monocular.

The color of the magical energy it exudes ranks third among the alchemical items Moon has ever seen.

First up, of course, was Moon's old willow wand.

The second one was the magic talent tester that Moon had observed in the Bailey family.

The color intensity emitted by this key is similar to that of the invisibility cloak that Dumbledore gave to Moon.

"It seems that the Holy Light Prison of the Holy Church is very difficult to deal with."

Moon guessed that the Faithless Organization must have spent a considerable amount of money to be able to use such precious materials to refine such high-level alchemical items.

And now this alchemical item is in Moon's hands.

Although Moon hasn't figured out how to use it yet, it doesn't prevent him from studying this alchemical item first.

In addition to matters related to the key, Moon also learned from the letter that the Faithless Organization planned to seize the Orem Islands from the Federation's spellcasters.

However, the letter did not mention what the unbelievers would do specifically, which made Moon a little disappointed.

The Orem Islands are not very far from Xingjing Island.

It is very close to the sphere of influence of both spellcasters and faithless.

Moon naturally did not want to be involved in the war between the two sides, so after learning the news, he immediately changed his original route.

I would rather take a detour than have anything to do with the Faithless Organization.

"No wonder there are only three Faithless on Solman Island. It turns out they've been planning to seize new territory for half a year."

The leader of the Faithless in the Vena Islands is named Guy Cooper.

He has recently been preparing to seize the island on Orem Island, and most of the non-faithful wizards have been sent there.

It was also because of this that Moon did not see more Faithless Wizards when he dealt with Montoya.

In addition to the information in the letter, Moon also learned about Montoya's magic experiments and the spells he was good at from Montoya's magic manual.

In addition to the Bone-Crushing Curse and the Stoneskin Curse, Montoya also possesses a spell called the Boiling Blood Curse.

This is an extremely evil and destructive black magic.

This magic can inject a corrosive and irritating magical energy into the blood of the person being cursed.

The various components in the blood will react abnormally, as if the liquid was thrown into a raging fire.

The person who is cursed will then feel as if a fire is ignited inside his body and die in extreme pain.

"It seems Montoya's death was not unjust."

By reading the other party's magic manual, Moon knew that the spells that Montoya was good at had been tested extensively on ordinary people.

This is also the reason why he can cast ordinary spells with greater power.

As for the human body transformation magic he mastered, he perfected it with the help of ordinary people's bodies.

Moon burned all the letters, leaving only the magic manual.

He wondered if anyone else among the Faithless was researching the same thing.

But by keeping these materials for research, Moon felt that perhaps he would be able to rescue those who had been transformed in the future.

In addition to the magic manual, Moon kept everything related to transformation magic, including the three bottles of blood potion.

The detailed method of refining this potion is recorded in Montoya's magic manual.

A very important ingredient in the recipe is called the blood of the phantom beast.

This mythical beast does not refer to a specific creature, but the five modified humans imprisoned in the cabin by Montoya.

"No wonder those five people were so weak. It turns out that in addition to being transformed, they also had to bleed."

The level of the potion will change by adding different types of mythical beast blood.

Now Montoya can only refine the transformation potion with the blood of three kinds of mythical beasts.

This potion actually has significant side effects. After taking it multiple times, the wizard's mind will be damaged due to transformation into an animal.

As a result, they will become more and more manic and bloodthirsty.

"Let's seal it up first. It's best if this kind of thing isn't exposed to the light."

After sealing the potion, Moon looked at other things.

Montoya's spell-assisting ring is much higher level than the captured magician's.

Moon tried to use it to cast [Mirror Tide] and found that the casting speed was saved by another three seconds.

The only pity is that wearing two rings on your hands at the same time will not increase the effect.

"It seems that support is support after all. If you want to increase the speed of spells, you still need to modify the spells."

Among all the seized items, Moon valued the fire snake's corpse the most.

After the strange snake was brought back, Moon put on gloves and carefully removed the remaining venom from the snake's fangs.

Although the fire snake is dead, its venom is still filled with a large amount of fire magic energy.

In order to preserve the venom, Moon had to use the [Cutting Spell] and specially make two stone bottles.

After removing the snake venom, Moon then skillfully peeled off the snake's skin, pulled out its tongue and teeth, and took out its gallbladder.

Based on the potion-related knowledge he learned at Hogwarts, Moon knew that most of these parts of snake creatures could be used to make potions.

However, after reading Montoya's magic manual, Moon threw away all the snake meat and took out the entire spine.

"Flameback Snake, it turns out the flames don't emanate from the snake's skin, but from its bones."

Flameback Serpent is the name of the fire snake in the magic record manual.

After removing the snake bones, Moon discovered that they were covered with flame-shaped runes that he had never seen before.

Moon once borrowed a book called "Ancient Alchemy" from the Hogwarts Library.

It records the origin of ancient wizards' research on alchemy, which is this purely natural magic rune.

Compared to runes created by wizards, naturally formed magic runes are often simpler, but they have powerful and pure natural power.

In addition to ancient alchemy, the origin of ancient magic also comes from magic runes like this.

"Although there are only two types of fire runes, perhaps I can try to transform and integrate them into my alchemy and fire spells."

Moon searched the entire spine of the flame-backed snake and found that although there were many runes on it, they could be divided into two types in total.

One represents fire magic, and the other should be related to poison.

Moon couldn't figure out the specific meaning yet, but that didn't affect his subsequent research on them.

After copying the runes on the snake bones into his magic record book, Moon began to check the changes in his own strength.

After yesterday's battle, Moon's wizard bar has risen to two levels.

If you also hold the Old Willow Wand, the length of the wizard bar will increase to two and a half squares.

The growth of strength often means that the power of Moon's spells has also changed.

Just after using the [Cutting Spell] to make the stone bottle, Moon discovered that the power of this spell had increased a lot.

The material of the stone bottle is very similar to the wall bricks of Hogwarts Castle, probably some kind of granite.

Originally, when faced with such a hard material, Moon had to cast the [Softening Spell] to cooperate.

But just now, he was able to easily cut this stone into various shapes using only the [Cutting Spell].

In addition to the [Cutting Spell], Moon's [Floating Spell] also changed significantly.

Now his [Levitation Spell] can lift objects weighing 50 kilograms into the air.

It's just that it didn't last long.

The changes in the [Flying Spell] were a complete surprise to Moon.

He originally just wanted to use sea water to wake Montoya up, but he didn't expect that after such a casting, the spell would change so much.

After the Scarlet Moon left the Maierzu Castle, Moon tried this spell on the ship.

Moon learned this spell from Cedric.

As far as he knew, Cedric could only use this spell to summon some small pieces of wood, and he couldn't even summon larger stones.

Not to mention such a small waterspout separated from the sea water.

Although Moon is now out of the mental state he was in when facing Montoya.

But he was also able to use [Flying Seawater], but its power was like the one that hit Montoya's head.

"It seems that the effectiveness of the spell has a lot to do with the wizard's mental state."

In addition to the reduced power of the waterspout, Moon found that using this spell to control the direction and strength of the water flow still required practice.

When Moon was testing the spell on the Scarlet Moon.

A black crow landed on the rocky beach where Montoya's sailboat was anchored.

A small wooden barrel containing a letter was tied to the crow's leg, but no one knew the content of the letter.

At this time, all the slaves on the reef beach had already left.

The crow searched for a while but did not find its target. It first found a charred corpse in the ruins and had a feast on it before flying towards the northeast.

It was also on Xingjin Island at the same time.

The chief witch of the Star Tribe asked someone to find the tribal leader.

"Great Witch, is there any news about Ben?"

The leader of the Xingmang tribe, "Lu", is Ben's father.

Originally, Xinglu was very happy when he learned that his son would complete the ultimate mission of their branch.

However, he was still a little anxious because he had been away for half a year and had not received any news.

Even Ben's mother had quarreled with him several times.

"That's right. Not only did he come back, he also brought the high priest's successor with him."

Ever since Ben left the tribe, the Star Wizard has been performing divinations more than a dozen times every day.

He had tried divination five times in a row this morning, and the results all indicated that the heir was about to return.

"Great Witch, is this true?"

Xinglu is still a little unbelievable.

The high priest who disappeared for three thousand years is really coming back.

Seeing the surprised expression of the tribal leader, the Star Wizard was actually even more excited.

Even when he was fortune-telling in the morning, he almost threw the animal bones away.

"Let the tribesmen prepare first, and then notify the tribesmen of the other two tribes."

"Tell them that the stars have responded to me, and that Scarlet Moon will soon return to Star Embers Island."
