Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 57 [Night Owl] Robbed

If mice have any advantages, it must be their strong adaptability.

In Zalan's words, mice can survive no matter what environment they face.

This is also the simplest but truest truth he wants to tell Moon.

The training being conducted for Moon now is to improve his adaptability so that he can survive in any environment.

"So how do we find these hidden magicians?"

After Zalan finished explaining, Moon suddenly felt like he was also a hidden magician mouse.

Rats have always been social animals, and Moon inevitably wants to know about his kind.

"I just heard Major General Layton say that he exchanged some items with the people from the Magician's Association."

Major General Layton is the high-ranking federal military official that Zalan once protected, and he is also a spellcaster.

Moon was a little disappointed that he couldn't get any accurate information about the magician.

However, hearing that the spellcaster would exchange items with the people from the Magicians Association made Moon more excited.

Due to his age, Moon's understanding of the current world is far less broad than that of these organized people.

Although he has now discovered the big willow tree, the big snake, and the magical white horse, these have only revealed a small part of the magic of this world.

He was actually very eager to gain more knowledge.

Now it seems that the most likely way for him to obtain this knowledge is through the people in the Magicians Association.

"I think you should be a little wary of these people."

After seeing what Moon was thinking, Zalan spoke out to dissuade him.

"Why?" Moon turned his head and asked curiously.

"With no attachments or beliefs, coupled with strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, they are destined to be a very dangerous group."

In Zalan's view, the Magicians' Association is a group of people who are not loyal to the "Mad King" and do not obey the orders of the Federal Archon.

They may live in seclusion in the wilderness or in the heart of a busy city, and they will stop at nothing to gain magical powers.

Moon didn't know how to respond to Zalan's opinion. In his opinion, he seemed to fit the image of a magician described by Zalan.

Born in the Federation, he certainly wouldn't pledge allegiance to the 'Mad King'.

Since he has not been trained as a spellcaster, he does not have to obey the orders of the Federal Archon.

The only difference is that he has family and friends to care about.

But it's too early to talk about this now, because Moon can't find a hidden magician at all.

Moon spent the next few days practicing spells and copying herbal atlases.

The three manuscripts were quickly read, not because Moon's memory was getting better, but because there was a lot of repetitive content in these manuscripts.

The original owners of the manuscripts were residents and merchants living nearby, which resulted in the herbs they recorded being mostly common varieties found in the nearby mountains, and duplication was inevitable.

After sorting out all the content, a total of seventy-eight herbal entries were obtained.

Among them, forty-seven species can correspond to "Thousands of Medicinal Herbs and Mushrooms".

After buying them back from the pharmacy and identifying them, only 31 of them were found to be exactly the same.

Although the ratio is less than half, it is already a good start for Moon.

The existence of these herbs not only makes it possible for Moon to make potions.

It also further confirmed an idea in his mind, that this world must have some connection with the world where Hogwarts is located.

"Okay, stop imagining that and look at the training partner I found for you."

Zalan came back from outside carrying two large cages.

There were seven or eight hazel grouse and a dozen red squirrels in each of the two cages.

These are Moon's old neighbors. They stay in this forest all year round and steal hazelnuts.

"You caught so many in this morning?" Moon didn't care that Zalan brought back these old neighbors. What surprised him was that Zalan's hunting speed was too fast.

"All morning! How is that possible?"

Zalan put the cage on the ground and went into the house to drink some water.

“An hour to bait, an hour to hook.”

Moon completely believed that Zalan had once served as a guard for high-ranking military officials.

He can catch as many prey as he would in a month in two hours. He is simply a prey killer.

"I'll put all these little guys into the house later, and you can practice your spells on them."

In fact, Zalan has always hoped that Moon could practice on living creatures, but the time he has to endure the spell alone every day is very limited, so he sought these helpers.

"The petrification curse is powerful, but your little curse is actually more effective against living creatures."

After observing for a whole day, Zalan came to the current conclusion.

The Petrification Curse has five particularly difficult scales, while the Leg Lock Curse only has four.

In addition, the wand waving of the Petrification Curse requires two different sets of movements to be performed continuously, while the Leg Locking Curse only requires two simple wavings.

To Moon, these were just two tiny differences, but to Zalan, they were huge gaps.

"Believe me, if the other party really has bad intentions, just this small difference will make you the first one to lie down."

Moon, who had never experienced a real battle, had no say in the matter.

All he could do was practice over and over again, and then when his magic power was drained, he would review it and then practice again.

On the seventh day in Xilin, Moon fell asleep early after practicing the spell.

Zalan stayed beside him the whole time.

When midnight passed and Moon disappeared, Zalan suddenly sat up with a dagger in his hand.

At the same time, three hundred miles northeast of Xilin.

Lieutenant Colonel Langdon Bruce, who had captured the Night Owl a whole week ago, was furious again in the barracks.

The high-level paraplegic [Night Owl] was kidnapped in the middle of the night.

During these seven days, he had the executioner use all kinds of torture instruments, but did not obtain any useful information.

Shortly after Night Owl was kidnapped, senior military officials also arrived at Lieutenant Colonel Landon's camp.

"You lost a prisoner, you lost a century. If it were wartime, you would have been worthy of being shot."

The speaker was Major General Mikhail Liz, the chief military officer of Floating Cloud City.

He was in charge of all military forces in Floating Cloud City, which consisted of three legions and 15,000 men.

"I am willing to bear any punishment."

Lieutenant Colonel Langdon stepped forward and saluted.

"Okay, in that case, I announce the decision of the Liuyun City Military Committee."
-
Due to huge mistakes made in the pre-war preparations, serious consequences occurred.

Landon Bruce was demoted.

As of this order, Langdon Bruce is relieved of his rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

He was transferred to be the captain of the 300-man team of the 5th Battalion, the 1st Infantry Regiment under Liuyun City.

Liuyun City Military Committee——
He was not transferred from the existing unit, but was only demoted one level, which was actually a discretionary treatment for Lieutenant Colonel Landon.

After all, the military commanders of Liuyun City also knew how powerful the Night Owl was.

After receiving the order, Lieutenant Colonel Langdon was secretly relieved.

Although he has been demoted to the chief officer of a hundred-man team, he is far away from the mission of hunting down the Night Owl.

This is the best solution for him.
