Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 74 Transferring Family Members
Christmas cactus is just an ordinary herbal plant and has no way of absorbing the growth potion.

This was something Moon had known for a long time, but Professor Sprout was unwilling to say more, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Finally, at Sprout's request, Moon took out three drops of growth potion.

This little episode did not disrupt Moon's research on the transformation spell until he went to bed early at night and prepared to return to Xilin for the devilish training.

After returning to the cabin, the devilish training that awaited us had not yet arrived.

A cold dagger was immediately pressed against Moon's neck.

"it's me."

Moon spoke aloud, and the dagger slowly moved away from his skin.

"Your way of learning magic is too unsafe."

Zalan's rough voice rang out in the darkness.

"If you have to leave this way in the future, make sure you are in a safe place."

"Ok."

After hearing Moon's agreement, Zalan put the dagger back into the scabbard, lay down and fell into a deep sleep.

"I actually encountered an enemy while I was studying magic."

The next morning, Moon told Zalan about his encounter with the troll at Hogwarts.

"I've told you before that the biggest factor leading to the death of novices on the battlefield is an unstable mentality."

After listening to Moon's experience, Zalan was surprised at first.

He originally thought that Moon was summoned by a powerful magician to be trained.

But he didn't expect that this would also lead to danger, which made him vaguely worried about what would happen to Moon in the other world.

"If you want to overcome this kind of mental problem, you have to see blood."

After thinking for a while, Zalan made a quick judgment.

He didn't think he could protect Moon for a lifetime, so no matter where he was, he wanted to let Moon grow into a qualified warrior to ensure his survival to the greatest extent.

"See blood?"

Moon was a little surprised.

"That's right, but these little animals aren't suitable either. Human blood is best!"

Hearing the words "human blood", Moon's breathing unconsciously tightened.

He had also used a slingshot to hunt hazel grouse and rabbits before, and sometimes helped Aunt Daisy deal with the carcasses of these small animals.

But he had never thought about human blood.

Although Zalan said it, it is unlikely for him to get human blood now.

If the war really reached Xilin, he might be able to capture one or two prisoners for Moon to practice with.

But that is obviously not possible now.

So Zalan could only let Moon slaughter some small animals that liked to play dead after practicing the spell.

However, this effect is not very great.

It was not until the third day after returning to Xilin that Neil brought new news of the war.

Neil actually has another child besides his cousin Sophia: Jay Scarlett.

This boy is one year younger than Moon. When he was eight years old, he was sent to study at the Military Academy in Jinglan City, the federal capital.

Now he is ten years old and should be a third-year student in the Army Preparatory Course at the Military Academy.

"Jay sent a letter saying that all students in the military academy above the fifth grade will be assigned to the reserve force."

When Neil came to the hazelnut forest with the letter, his face looked very unhappy.

In fact, after the autumn harvest, Neil got the news that the war was coming, which was what Jay heard from the school.

At that time, he planned to let Jay go home first and go back to school after the war. However, at that time, the military academy had implemented a fully closed management, and no students were allowed to leave, especially children of soldiers.

After Moon brought back the news of the appearance of Night Owl, Neil wrote another letter to Jay, asking him to be careful.

"Students at the Military Academy are generally reserve forces and are rarely deployed to the front lines, so Neil, don't worry for now."

After reading the letter, Zalan patted Neil on the shoulder to comfort him.

"I know, I know, and Jay is still young. He's still two years away from fifth grade."

"That's right, so you should be more concerned about the other thing Jay sent back."

Zalan said as he handed the letter to Moon again.

"Military academy students are very valuable. After graduation, they will become grassroots commanders in the military."

"But being assigned to the army ahead of time only means that the Federation considers the current situation to be critical."

While Zalan was analyzing the matter, Moon also roughly read the contents of the letter.

Jay wrote the last sentence in the letter.
-
"There's news that the Maynila Empire's conquest of the North was just a cover."
-
"That's right. The Maynilla Empire announced its intention to conquer the barbarians in the north three years ago. It was also at that time that they began to prepare for war. Now it seems that their initial target was us."

Three years of preparation is enough for an empire to launch a war to destroy another country.

In particular, the Graciyan Federation is far from being a match for the Maynila Empire.

It seemed as if this war was destined to have only one outcome from the very beginning.

After Zalan finished speaking, Neil took the letter and looked at the last content.

He was just too worried about his son's safety and only glanced at the contents of the letter.

"But the Federation will definitely be prepared."

"Yes, but this preparation is far less than the other side's."

Speaking of this, Zalan suddenly remembered the spellcaster he had protected in the past.

The other party's position is already very high, so he must know more information.

But knowing this information was enough for Zalan.

After analyzing the current situation, Zalan made a quick judgment.

"If the enemy is truly so well prepared, then the Snow Eagle Mountain defense line will be difficult to hold. A large city like Flowing Cloud City might be able to withstand the first wave of attacks, but a small city like Xilin probably can't."

Zalan had never attended a military academy, and all his inferences were based on his past experience.

"So it's best for us to move our families to a safe place first, and then find the main force, or use the familiar geographical environment to deal with the enemy."

"Transfer?"

"That's right. If we want soldiers to truly contribute, we must protect their families. However, the Federation may no longer have the power to do this, so we can only do it ourselves."

After listening to Zalan's analysis, Neil was silent for a moment and looked at the other party.

"I received a conscription order from Sheriff Xilin last night to serve as the captain of the newly formed militia guard. If we really need to move my family, I still need you to do it."

In fact, when Neil received the call-up order, he did not expect the situation to be so bad.

Now after Zalan's analysis, he knew that transfer might be right.

"Don't worry, I know a merchant captain named Gold at the dock. I can ask him to send his family to the Vena Islands for temporary refuge. It shouldn't be a problem."

"So when are we leaving?"

"That guy might not have returned yet, but we'd better get in advance. Otherwise, if the situation changes, the city will likely be closed, and many people will escape by then. In any case, I will contact you as soon as possible, preferably within seven days."

"Okay, I'll go back now and let everyone get ready."

With Zalan's assurance, Neil left in a hurry.

But not long after he left, Brad also sneaked into the hazelnut forest.
