Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 46 The Power of the Opening Staff
The man who walked into the cave was wearing a black leather jacket and had a sharp sword tucked behind his arm, with blood faintly visible dripping from it.

Moon glanced at the other's sword-holding hand, and hurriedly pulled Brad back to the side of the cave wall.

"I was just passing by and saw the fire here, so, cough cough"

The man in black was injured, but he was still approaching step by step.

Brad felt Moon's uneasiness in his arm, which was pinched and hurt.

It reminded him of his first fight with Moon, when he was bedridden for a month.

Moon clenched his wand tightly in his right hand, and Brad understood and drew out the rusty family saber.

"Ahem, I really do."

"You~, you have a night owl on your hand."

Moon said this as if he had exhausted all his strength.

"Night Owl, yes, what's the matter? Do you know him?" the man in black said as he raised his right hand holding the sword.

I saw that the mark on the back of his hand, which was originally as black as iron, was now stained with blood, which made the ferocious night owl tattoo even more weird.

"Yes, my uncle has fought with you before." Moon answered with all his strength.

"Oh, so it's the child of an old friend."

The man in black said this without hiding anything, and pointed the sword in his hand at Moon.

Brad also raised the family saber at this time, but his hand holding the sword was shaking.

Moon could understand Brad's feelings very well.

Because the name "Night Owl" was something he had told Brad as a horror story.

The sharpest blood blade in the hands of the Mad King, the all-pervasive hidden arrows, the bloodthirsty fangs of the Empire, the enemy that the federal army cannot defeat
These are the most authentic names for Night Owl.

But what Moon remembers most clearly is another sentence Uncle Neil said.

"Run! Don't look back!"

These were the last words spoken to Neil by his brother, the father Moon had never met.

This was also the sentence Neil repeated most often when he was drunk, and it was also the most effective sentence for Moon to escape from the nightmare.

Now the nightmare has become reality, and it is time for Moon to escape, but the cave entrance is behind him.

"In fact, I really like the children who are herding, especially those who have toy knives and small wooden sticks but cannot speak."

The man in black spoke with contempt.

But when he took another step forward, Moon nervously waved the small wooden stick at him.

"Heh~,...what!"

boom!
"Wait"

Boom!
The small wooden stick in the man in black just shook, and a person lay down on the cold ground.

Boom~boom~
The ground shook slightly, and then two stones fell from the top of the cave.

"What happened? Why did he jump onto the cave and then fall down~"

Brad was now even more terrified. He bit his tongue twice before he could finish his sentence.

Moon also swallowed hard. This was his third time conducting the staff test and the first time he did it on a human.

However, the effect is surprisingly good.

"See how he is doing."

Moon didn't answer Brad, but kept holding his wand.

He was well aware of the power of the Night Owl. Even though the opponent was an injured Night Owl, Moon kept reciting the [Fire Spell] over and over in his mind.

This is one of the few spells he currently possesses that can injure people.

Moon knew that the spell was not very powerful, so he kept the tip of his staff pointed at the man in black's hair.

This was the only way he could think of to disturb the awakened Night Owl and then take the opportunity to escape.

Brad saw that the small wooden stick in Moon's hand was more useful than his saber, so he boldly reached out to the man in black.

"He must have fainted."

Brad touched the man in black's neck and turned to look at Moon. "Let's go! Let's leave quickly!"

The road was very difficult to walk on at night, especially a path that had been abandoned by horse herders for many years.

Even though Brad was very familiar with the direction, the two of them stumbled along the way.

Because he was afraid of being discovered, Moon did not use magic lighting, and even if he used [Lumoshine], it would not last long.

Fortunately, the two horses are much stronger than humans, and they become the best guides in the dark.

It was not until a blue-red spot of light appeared on the horizon that Moon and Brad saw the low walls of Xilin.

Last night, the cave where the herders rested was actually very lively.

Not long after Moon and the other two left, patrolling soldiers discovered this place and saw the Night Owl lying on the ground.

However, they failed to wake the other person up until the military doctor arrived and confirmed that the night owl had a broken spine.

"Huh! Are you saying that the Night Owl, who slaughtered an entire hundred of my men, broke his spine in this cramped, small cave that smells like horse manure?"

Lieutenant Colonel Landon Bruce had never been so angry as he was today.

Even though his accompanying military doctor repeatedly told him to rest and recuperate, he couldn't help but bring all the guards to personally check on the enemy who had injured him.

Landon was appointed as the captain of the fifth battalion of the first infantry regiment, the third brigade of the liuyun city's subordinate legion just three days ago.

The 500-man brigade had not yet fully familiarized itself with the situation, but one-fifth of them had already been lost.

Even he himself was stabbed in the lower abdomen by the opponent's sword.

The only person who caused this situation was an enemy's [Night Owl].

Seeing that the military doctor stopped talking, Langdon asked him again.

"Are you sure this beast broke his spine!"

"Reporting to the commander, confirmed, the fracture is just below the neck, very obvious, and can be easily pressed with the hand."

The military doctor tried to answer quickly and concisely.

"Okay, so can he wake up?" Langdon asked the military doctor, trying to suppress his anger.

"Yes, but when you wake up, you will lose all feeling below the neck."

"That's good, I just need him to be clear-headed!" Langdon said as he kicked the man in black lying on the ground hard.

"Come here, go get the person most proficient in execution. I want to know all the information in this mixed-feather bird's mouth."

Instead of looking for someone who is proficient in interrogation, he asked the person who is most proficient in execution to conduct the interrogation. This is Langdon's attitude.

While the prisoners were being interrogated, news of the huge casualties among the soldiers eventually reached the top military brass.

Along with it came another secret message.

"The Mad King's sharpest Night Owl Guard broke his spine in a narrow cave."

After returning to Xilin, Moon went straight to Neil and told him in detail what happened last night.

Neil knew that Moon would never use the name "Night Owl" as a joke.

So at noon that day he called all the trustworthy veterans in the neighborhood to his home.

"[Night Owl] has come to Xilin? Are the guards of Floating Cloud City just for show?"

"So what if there are guards? They're Night Owl!"

"Don't say that, Hawke. The most important thing for us now is to stock up on food. It seems the war will come sooner than expected."

"That's right, let's go shopping separately, this way we can spread our attention."

The attitude towards the enemy can prove whether a person has truly experienced war.

The recruits may be afraid and hesitant at this time, or they may be excited.

But the veteran thinks first about how to survive, and then how to kill the enemy.

Now veterans not only have to consider how to survive themselves, but also how to keep their families alive.
