Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 76 Moon's Changes

When Zalan announced that he wanted to make a trap, Brad wanted to help, but was rejected by Moon.

"Brad, listen to me. Now that you've left the monastery, don't go back. It's too dangerous for you."

"I know, that's why I wanted to stay and help you."

Brad actually wanted to help very much, especially to see Moon work his magic again.

Last time, he was so frightened by the sudden appearance of Night Owl that he had no idea what happened in between.

"This [Night Owl] is completely different from the last time. They are likely well prepared. Also, even though you've escaped from the monastery, your family is likely to suffer."

Moon was actually very grateful to Brad for coming to report the news. He was also ready to think about how to deal with the Night Owl in all aspects.

Now that Brad has secretly escaped from the monastery, it will definitely arouse the other party's suspicion.

If the other party found Brad's parents according to the address, Moon would really not be able to forgive himself.

Fortunately, Brad listened to Moon's words this time. He thought about it for a while and made a decision.

"Okay, then I'll go home now and let my parents hide."

"No!"

After Moon rejected Brad's arrangement, he looked at Zalan who was standing not far away and setting a trap.

Now the only one who can contact the ship is Zalan, and Moon must obtain the other party's consent.

Seeing Zalan nod, Moon smiled and looked at Brad again.

"Go home, take your parents and leave immediately. Get to my uncle Neil's house as quickly as possible, and then we will leave by boat in seven days!"

"Leaving? Did the war reach Xilin?"

After his last encounter with the army, Brad also began to pay attention to the latest developments in the war.

"Not yet, but the situation isn't good right now, and Xilin is too close to the front line. We need to take shelter on the Vena Islands first."

Brad saw that Moon was very serious, so he agreed without any hesitation this time.

"Okay, I don't want to be a servant anymore anyway."

Brad said that and ran out quickly. At this time, Zalan spoke up to remind him.

"Monk's boy, remember! Don't say anything when you get to Neil's house."

Brad turned his head and looked at Zalan curiously, then saw Moon nodding as well. He agreed and ran away.

"I didn't let your uncle know about this, you won't blame me?"

After Brad left, Zalan had just finished making a simple trap. He was looking at Moon who was digging a hole nearby.

"will not."

Moon blew on his blistered hands briefly and continued.

"If Uncle Neil knew, he would definitely stay with me in Hazelnut Forest and even protect me all the time. This is something I cannot accept."

Zalan was a little surprised to hear Moon say these words calmly.

He spat out the sweetgrass in his mouth and continued.

"I didn't expect you to realize this."

"You should have realized it a long time ago, right?"

The changes that have taken place at Moon did not happen overnight.

When he first encountered the Night Owl, he was very panicked throughout the whole process because he had no experience.

Later, after repeated rigorous spell training, Moon was able to survive when the troll appeared.

Now [Night Owl] has found Xilin with the clues left by Moon, which made him realize the mistake he made the first time.

And now it's not just him, Brad and his parents, Uncle Neil's family, and even Zalan, everyone is paying for that incident.

This is what caused Moon to change like he did today.

In fact, when Moon was making the trap, he had been reflecting on his own shortcomings.

Now he knew very well that once Neil came over, he would definitely protect him behind him without hesitation.

The Night Owl's target this time was him, and Neil would become a stumbling block that they would have to deal with. "I wonder what Neil would think if he knew you'd become like this!"

Zalan shook his head and laughed. When he first moved into Neil's house, the two of them often quarreled over whether they had protected Moon too well.

Now it seems that if you want to make a person change, quarreling is not as effective as an unforgettable event.

After Zalan figured this out, he picked up a shovel and went into the cabin to start making a trap.

York Farm is very large, covering nearly a thousand acres, and the hazelnut forest is only one-tenth of that.

Moon and Zalan spent the afternoon making fifty-three small traps.

But this only surrounded the wooden house.

Because they didn't know the progress of Night Owl's search, the two of them kept watch for each other at night to conserve their energy.

By the next morning, there were more than thirty more traps around the cabin.

Just when the two were about to take a break, Neil came again.

This time, Zalan saw him from a distance, and then he walked out of the trap in many ways and stopped Neil outside.

"Where's Moon?"

Neil came up and first showed concern for his nephew.

"You know, he's always very tired after practicing those things, so I let him rest in the house for a while."

After hearing Zalan's explanation, Neil didn't have too many doubts.

Ever since he had not argued with Zalan about Moon's training method, Neil could only let his nephew train with the war maniac in front of him.

Some time ago, he often came to bring meals to the two of them, knowing that Moon would be very tired after practicing magic.

"Well, I came here to tell you that Brad has moved in, and I've also arranged for Hall and the others to patrol the alley."

"Yeah, it's very well done."

Hearing Zalan's elder-like statement, Neil frowned and continued.

"Everyone should be packed up in the next two days, then you can lead everyone out first."

Hearing what Neil said, Zalan thought for a moment and then agreed.

"Don't worry, I will get them to a safe place."

"Well, our militia has received a mission and will set off tonight."

"What mission? Are the Mad King's men attacking?"

Hearing Neil say this, Zalan also became curious.

Although he had long anticipated that the Maynila Empire would launch a war in advance, he did not expect it to happen so soon.

"No, it's probably some bandits who think the situation is not peaceful recently and want to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. Yesterday, all five shepherd families outside the city were killed. We are responsible for patrolling and guarding there."

After hearing what Neil said, Zalan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Then be careful, the bandits are also very powerful."

"Don't worry, we have 300 militia members. We will definitely be able to defeat even a large-scale bandit group."

Zalan gave Neil some encouragement for his confidence, then returned to the cabin and told Moon about the situation.

"Why don't you stop him? It could very well be [Night Owl]."

When Moon heard the news, he became nervous.

"Don't stop me! Five shepherds is not the maximum number of people Night Owl can kill in one night. Now that he has stopped, it means that the person he is looking for is not there, so he will definitely leave."

The person who knows you best is always your enemy.

Zalan is now like preparing an elaborate trap, waiting for the Night Owl to take the bait.

And the sweet bait at the center of the trap is Moon.

"So, make good preparations. Since he went outside the city last night, the remaining area will become smaller and smaller."
