Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 115 Left Hand Ring, Right Hand Wand (Fourth Update)

"The magicians in this world really live long lives!"

Upon hearing Balthazar's age, Jerry's eyes lit up once again.

If he remembered correctly, Merlin's three disciples, Balthazar, Hoggs, and Veronica, were all immortal.

The Morgana faction wizards sealed inside that Russian nesting doll can also live forever. It seems that it's not too difficult for magicians in this world to achieve immortality.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many magicians who could live for over two thousand years.

"Our Hogwarts School is a very old but also very little-known school, hidden in the remote forests of Scotland. It has always been passed down in a single lineage and has never communicated with the outside world, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it."

I left there and came to live in New York for rather special reasons!

For Jerry, lying on the spot was obviously not a difficult task.

Balthazar nodded upon hearing this:

"It's a rather ancient school of thought; no wonder your magic seems a bit different. I'm sorry to have dragged you into this. I'll handle the rest, but you'd better leave New York as soon as possible, or Horvas might cause you trouble!"

Although Jerry possesses considerable magical abilities, he is clearly still a child, and Balthazar does not want to involve a child in such a dangerous operation.

Even David wouldn't have gotten involved if he wasn't the one Merlin foretold as the one who could kill Morgana.

"Can you tell me what exactly this 'Palm of Death' you were talking about? And why did that Demon Insect King want to steal the Palm of Death?"

Jerry, of course, wouldn't leave at this point.

Just kidding. Currently, apart from the sealed soul of Morgana, this level 777 neurotic mage is the most skilled in magic.

If he wants to learn the world's most advanced magic and the most important art of immortality, the best way is to establish a good friendship with this eccentric mage; otherwise, why would the mage teach him?

He originally intended to steal the magic stone to concoct an elixir of immortality and thus gain immortality.

However, the immortality gained by using the Philosopher's Stone to create an elixir of life also has its flaws, as can be seen in Fantastic Beasts 2.

This kind of immortality only forcibly keeps the soul in the body; the body will continue to decay over time, making it almost no different from a walking corpse.

The methods of achieving immortality in this world are clearly different, whether it's the Demon Insect King or the neurotic mage before us.

They have lived for over two thousand years, yet their appearance remains unchanged, and their bodies show no signs of aging.

Even their magical abilities are constantly growing. The Neural Mage has been cultivating for over two thousand years and has already raised his magic level to 777.

It can be described as the perfect method for achieving immortality!

Balthazar sighed upon hearing this:

"We'll discuss the specifics once we retrieve the Hand of Death. In short, the Hand of Death seals away several of Morgana's strongest mages, as well as Morgana herself. If Horvas finds and releases them, they will destroy the entire world!"

"Morgana, the dark sorceress who nearly destroyed the world, wasn't she killed by the archmage Merlin?"

Jerry exclaimed in feigned shock.

Balthazar shook his head:

"Her dark magic was too powerful, and my teacher was betrayed by Horvas and seriously injured, so she was only sealed away. With my current strength, I cannot kill her; only Merlin's successor, David, can!"

At this moment, David shook his head frantically:

"You must be mistaken. I am not Merlin's successor, nor have I inherited Merlin's power. I don't want to be involved with magic anymore; I just want to live a normal life!"

Balthazar stretched out his hand, and a storage cabinet appeared from afar using his magical power. He took out a dragon-shaped ring from the cabinet and placed it in front of David.

"If you really want to live a normal life, why keep this ring?"

"Dragon Ring!"

Upon seeing the ring in Balthazar's hand, Jerry immediately recognized it as Merlin's Dragon Ring.

The wizards in this world are very similar to those in the Harry Potter world in one respect: it is very difficult for them to cast spells directly without the aid of a medium.

In the world of Harry Potter, the medium for casting spells is the wand. Without a wand, it is difficult to cast spells normally unless you are a top-tier wizard.

And the same is true in this world. Apart from the two strongest magicians, Merlin and Morgana, other magicians also need a medium to cast spells.

Most magicians use rings worn on their hands, but some use other items such as scepters or necklaces as mediums for casting spells.

Oh, and there's our protagonist David, who doesn't know anything right now. This curly-haired youth inherited Merlin's power, and if he spends some time learning properly, he'll be able to cast spells without any medium.

The protagonist is indeed different.

"This is a really good thing!"

Jerry always felt that wand spellcasting was a potential problem.

In a time when wandless spellcasting is no longer possible, once he loses his wand, he can no longer cast spells and becomes no different from an ordinary person.

Just like when he was in PE class at school, he couldn't cast a spell because his wand was in the closet, so he was forced to take off his shirt.

Moreover, the wand is made of wood, which is not very sturdy, and the wand itself can easily be destroyed if attacked.

If someone discovers this weakness in him and launches a targeted attack, he will be in danger once he loses his wand.

But rings are different; they are more discreet when worn on the hand, and being made of metal, they are more durable and less prone to damage.

In the future, he can wear a ring in his left hand and a wand in his right. When his enemies think they have found his weakness and break his wand, he can give them a big surprise.

As for how to obtain the ring?

Of course, we should just steal it. We definitely can't steal this dragon ring for now; it belongs to David, and if we do, the Nervous Mage will never let him go.

However, those Morgana-affiliated mages could easily steal their rings and keep them for themselves when they were defeated.

Most importantly, through his recent battle with the Demon King and recalling fragments from the movie, Jerry discovered...

Although the magicians in this world live for a long time and have many interesting spells, their actual combat ability doesn't seem to be that outstanding.

He even felt that even if he released Morgana, the supposedly strongest dark wizard in history, it wouldn't actually be able to destroy the world.

This is not two thousand years ago. If Morgana could use magic to rule the world against humans in the age of cold weapons, in this high-tech era, terror is not so effective.

In particular, the mages in this world seem to have relatively low resistance to electric damage.

Morgana, the most powerful dark sorceress in the movie who was comparable to Merlin, was ultimately killed by David's series of particle cannon shots.
