Having escaped famine, I was accepted into Hogwarts.

Chapter 168 The Mooncaller's Wand

As the silvery-white light descended from the moon high in the sky, everyone who witnessed it was shocked, and most of them took a half step back.

These people even included Lupin and Hagrid.

Kane looked at Lupin, who had become a werewolf, and waved to him with a hint of helplessness as he stepped back, reminding him of tonight's main quest: to come into contact with the power of the moon.

Lupin seemed to forget to breathe as he slowly walked towards the pillar of light. He glanced back at Kane, and after seeing Kane nod, he reached out and touched the pillar of light.

For a moment, Lupin felt a sharp pain, as if countless panes of glass were cutting his hand. However, perhaps because werewolves are creatures that rely on the moon to transform, they naturally possess a slight affinity for the moon.

After the pain subsides, it feels different.

Unlike Lupin, who was trying to establish a connection with the moon, Kane snapped his fingers at Dumbledore, who was still gazing at the moon in the sky, bringing him back to his senses.

"Is the moon really that beautiful?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, actually I'm more curious about you, but I feel it's a bit impolite to stare at you." Dumbledore looked at Kane with a very strange expression. To be honest, he had tried his best to imagine Kane's past experiences in an abstract, dangerous, and legendary way.

Seeing this, Dumbledore finally realized that his usual tales of Kane's adventures, which he used to lull himself to sleep every night, were too conservative.

Kane, of course, had no idea what Dumbledore was thinking. He was only curious about how long it would take Lupin to finish communicating with the old man Moon Chaser, and how long the upgrade time for the Mooncaller's Wand had become.

Actually, he had another idea before that. In the Eternal Realm, every time he used the platform to upgrade the Mooncaller's Wand, some shadow creatures would appear around the platform to cause trouble.

After all, the Shadow doesn't like the Moon, and it would be even more unacceptable for it to watch the Moon diminish its power.

So at first he was a little scared that if he returned to the real world and upgraded the Mooncaller's Wand again, would a bunch of shadow creatures come to cause trouble again?

And the answer Kane has received so far...

No.

There were no strange shadowy figures causing trouble; everything was perfectly normal.

However, before Kane could even praise the unclaimed shadows for being obedient, a tiny, jet-black two-dimensional dog, resembling a child's scribbles, suddenly darted out of the woods and charged straight toward the platform in the center of the centaur tribe.

Then, Kane's shadowy hand gripped the back of fate, and in the next moment, the claws suddenly transformed into a gaping maw that swallowed it whole.

Hagrid's reaction differed from that of most others present. For example, Dumbledore raised an eyebrow in curiosity, while the centaurs were shocked, wondering when such things had appeared around their camp.

Hagrid's reaction was more down-to-earth: "You ate that cute little dog?"

"That's not Hagrid the dog, that thing just looks like a dog."

After casually replying, Kane felt a sense of fulfillment, then his eyes lit up as he looked in other directions to see if there were any other Shadow Hounds he could devour.

To be honest, he had just felt that those unclaimed shadows were giving him no face, but now he suddenly felt... this wasn't so bad.

They would be even better if they were a little more unruly.

Unfortunately, perhaps because of the presence of a former owner of this shadow toilet, or perhaps because there are not many shadows left in the real world, the entire ritual lasted from the moment the moon sent down the pillar of light until it ended.

Kane never saw a second Shadow Dog.

There were no wild boars either.

But that slight disappointment felt completely different to Dumbledore.

Perhaps I really should test Kane's mental state, even though I know that what Kane just did was probably an act to enhance his own power.

However, this kind of expressiveness... has a touch of the bizarre.

To be honest, before this holiday, Dumbledore had been worried about Kane's mental state. After all, his strange clothes, abstract behavior, and bizarre hat were not typical of a normal person.

But when the holiday arrived, he actually managed to recreate a small corner of Kane's past life in his mind through Kane's actions and some of his strange knowledge.

In that instant, Dumbledore suddenly felt relieved. Kane had lived in a place with this kind of knowledge of the trenches, and now he had only made a small change in his external aesthetics. To be honest, his willpower was so strong that it was not like that of a human.

So much so that during this time he actually subconsciously regarded Kane as a normal person, and it was only just now, after watching Kane fuse that Shadow Dog into it in such a bizarre and grotesque way, that he remembered.

Aha~ This Kane has almost all the characteristics that talented young wizards share...

in short...

He's a lunatic.

I really need to make the most of the psychology books on the bookshelf.

Dumbledore looked helplessly at Lupin, who was still in werewolf form not far away, but he was not surprised by this scene.

Or rather, it's truly odd that Kane solved the werewolf problem, which had plagued the wizarding world for nearly a century, so easily.

And it's not necessarily that Kane isn't professionally competent; maybe Lupin is just bad at talking? Trying to reason with the Moon might just make him angry.

Kane and Hagrid were also a little disappointed as they watched this scene.

Lupin didn't seem to have changed much; he still looked like a werewolf, and didn't even seem to have any moon energy left...

This feeling of being cut at the speed of light...

Kane was somewhat embarrassed to watch. Had Lupin really angered the Moon?

My own Mooncaller... oh, that one has successfully upgraded.

Kane walked to the platform and pulled out the Mooncaller's Wand.

Thanks to the fact that Shadow and Moon are a pair of star-crossed lovers who love and hate each other, and Moon Summoner's Wand is the epitome of Moon's power, it also exudes a sense of resistance to itself from the inside out.

But this is perfect for Kane.

To be honest, what he's best at is giving his resistant "white moonlight" a little bit of a powerful, overwhelming shock.

Just as he wrapped the entire Mooncaller's Wand in layers of shadow and stuffed it into the Shadow Codex, before Kane could even comfort himself, another exclamation made him instinctively turn around.

Ah ha, it's Lu Ping shirtless in the middle of the night! Young people have so much energy...

Wait... in the middle of the night?

Kane glanced at the full moon high in the sky, then at Lupin.

hiss..

This is very strange, yet it also makes perfect sense!
