Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 485 The Sealed Artifact: The Cursed Flute (Third Update)

"Well... not yet, but the chairman is worried that the three of them carrying out a mission together might cause some 'danger'."

So I want you to go along and see what happens. If anything happens, cut your losses immediately to prevent the council members from using it against you.

Mirajane explained with a hint of helplessness.

It turns out that when Macaro received Mirajane's letter and learned that Erza, Natsu, and Gray were teaming up for a mission, he was so shocked that he almost fell off the table on the spot.

Because he knew that Natsu alone could destroy half the port, and with Elu and Gray added in, the entire city could probably be wiped out.

So his first action was to have Mirajane contact Jerry to get an insurance policy.

"Okay, so do you know what their goal is?"

He had learned a lot of magical knowledge from Malarov, so it was only right for him to help clean up the mess. Therefore, he did not refuse.

Mirajane thought for a moment and said:

"I heard from Erza that they seem to be heading to Onibas."

"Onibass City, I understand. I'll be there in a bit!"

Jerry nodded in agreement.

Magnolia Station's previous stop is Harugion, and its next stop is Onibas, so they are considered adjacent cities.

Although they are adjacent, they are not close. Harugion is nearly 370 kilometers away from Magnolia, and Magnolia is 300 kilometers away from Onibas.

The entire Kingdom of Fiore has a population of 17 million, which is actually quite sparsely populated. Outside of towns, you rarely see other people.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Jerry!"

Seeing that Jerry readily agreed, Mirajane took her leave and returned to the guild.

The guild's daily operations depend entirely on her, and she can't be away for too long. Otherwise, aside from others, Kana might secretly drink all the drinks at the bar.

After seeing Mirajane to the door, Jerry didn't linger. He roughly calculated the distance, waved his hand to draw a portal, and stepped across.

When he reappeared, he was already 300 kilometers away above the city of Onibas.

"Let's find out where they are first!"

With a wave of his hand, he drew a magic circle and used the receiving magic he had been researching for the past few days. Jerry instantly transformed into an owl.

That's right, at this moment he wasn't an ordinary owl, but a magical owl unique to the Harry Potter world, with the ability to find people.

He silently recited Erza's name and activated the owl's ability to find people. Instantly, something like a map navigation appeared in his mind, guiding him to fly north.

"It's not even in the city?"

After flying over Onibas City, the navigation still pointed north. Jerry immediately realized that Erza and the others had probably left Onibas City for some unknown reason.

An hour later, Jerry flew over the midpoint of the ancient city and saw a large group of people making a fuss below. Since Erza and the others weren't there, he didn't pay any attention.

Two hours later, he stopped in the sky above Oshibana City, dispelled the receiving magic, and returned to his normal human form.

Because he finally spotted Erza and the others.

At this moment, Erza was driving a magically powered four-wheeled vehicle, drifting wildly throughout the city, seemingly searching for something.

On the roof of the Magic Four-Wheeled Vehicle, Gray was being tossed around, and a half-dead head swayed in the wind by the window—Natsu, who suffered from motion sickness.

Lucy and Happy were also in the car taking care of Natsu.

A moment later, the Magic Four-Wheeled Vehicle drifted and stopped in front of the Oshibana train station, which was surrounded by a large number of locals.

"Hurry! We can't let the mages of the Iron Forest Guild sound the cursed flute, or everyone in this city will be cursed to death!"

Erza leaped off the Magic Quadruple Vehicle and was about to move forward when she swayed.

Gray quickly helped Erza up and asked with concern:

"Erza, you've been driving that magic-powered four-wheeled vehicle for over two hours straight, your magic power is almost completely depleted!"

"It's alright. Even without magic, I can still fight to the end with this stick. Besides, I have you and Natsu."

Erza's eyes were filled with determination and trust.

"Ugh~~~"

Just then, Natsu, who had been helped out of the car by Lucy, started vomiting, which was quite inappropriate. He hadn't recovered from the thrilling car chase yet.

"Finally found you! By the way, weren't you going to Osbas? What are you doing in Oshibana?"

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the sky. When everyone looked up, they saw Jerry with two pairs of big white wings slowly descending from the sky.

"Huh~~"

Lucy stared at Jerry, then exclaimed in surprise:

"Jerry, what are you doing here? And why do you have wings?"

"So Jerry can fly just like Happy."

Happy, who was standing nearby, excitedly flew up and circled around Jerry.

After landing, Jerry folded his wings and laughed:

"I know a little about flying magic. As for why I'm here, the guild master asked me to come and help."

"You must be Jerry, the one Lucy was talking about. I've heard your Arc of Time magic can restore any destroyed building. It's so kind of you to come and help. I'm Erza, nice to meet you!"

Erza stepped forward with a serious expression and shook hands with Jerry.

She had clearly realized that the upcoming battle with the enemy could cause considerable damage to the city.

Jerry smiled as he held Erza's hand:

Please give me your guidance.

"Time is tight right now. I'll go and find out some information about the train station. If you have any questions, you can ask Lucy and Gray first."

After a brief greeting, Erza turned and pushed through the murmuring crowd, walking towards a few staff members outside the train station who were explaining the situation.

Meanwhile, Lucy, while helping the gradually recovering Natsu, recounted the situation they had encountered.

It turns out that on her way back from a mission, Erza accidentally discovered a mage from the Dark Guild Iron Forest, who had been expelled from the Guild Alliance six years ago, in the mage tavern in Onibas.

They seem to be plotting to break some kind of evil seal and create some kind of disaster.

After their investigation, they have confirmed that the sealed artifact is the Cursed Flute, a dark magical artifact that can unleash a wide-range curse using sound.

Meanwhile, the mages of the Iron Forest have broken the seal and, carrying the Cursed Flute, hijacked the train at the Ancient Nuji Station, successfully arriving at the Oshibana City train station.

Unlike other cities where train stations are built on the outskirts of the city, Oshibana's train station is located right in the center of the city.

Therefore, they now speculate that the mages of the Iron Forest must be planning to use the loudspeakers at the train station to unleash a curse from the sound of the Cursed Flute, killing everyone in the city at once.
