Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 370 The Organization that Hunts Wizards

At the dinner that evening, Moon and Hagrid talked a lot about what happened during the summer vacation.

This naturally includes one of the most important events at Hogwarts this year.

That was Professor Flitwick's spell experiment.

And Moon also happened to know that Hagrid was one of the team leaders in this experiment.

In that thick booklet, Hagrid's position was listed as a Magical Biology Inspector.

According to Flitwick, the job was primarily to assess the effects of spells on magical creatures, thereby determining the power level of the spells.

However, Moon didn't know exactly how to do it, so he was very curious.

"Oh, this is a problem. Actually, Professor Flitwick came to discuss it with me during the summer vacation."

Upon hearing Moon's question, Hagrid stood up from his chair and mysteriously pulled something out of a woven basket on the wall.

Returning to the table, Moon spread his palms out and stared intently at them.

A handful of white, oval-shaped, rice-grain-like objects appeared in Hagrid's hand.

These grains of rice, densely packed together, give one a feeling of itchiness all over their body.

"Are these insect eggs?"

Moon spent a long time on a farm in Xilin.

So this little thing is not unfamiliar to him.

“That’s right, these are spider eggs, and they are the most suitable magical creatures I’ve found for my experiments.”

"Isn't this a bit too late? After all, it takes time for them to hatch."

Moon had seen Professor Frivi's plan, which was roughly divided into three steps.

One method is to conduct magical tests on inanimate objects to obtain basic data.

Secondly, tests were conducted on living objects, mainly magical creatures, and the data samples were gradually improved.

Third, the final strength of the spell is tested through volunteers; only when the data reaches this point can it be considered reasonable.

If all goes well, we'll definitely be using magical creatures in a month.

These spiders haven't hatched yet, and even if they do by then...

But the spider is probably smaller than the little wizard's fingernail, so it's impossible to test the power of the spell.

"Don't worry, these are just little guys for the first-year wizards to use for their initial assessment. They will be born one after another in less than a week. As for the older students, I have already prepared their materials, but they can't be released yet."

Hearing Moon's question, Hagrid smiled and put the spider eggs back into the basket.

"Could it be a spider too?"

"That's right, and they're all big ones."

Hagrid's eyes lit up when he said this.

He never imagined that a casual act he made years ago would actually help the school's magic experiment.

He had already spoken with the giant spider, who agreed to lend him some spiders to improve his experiments.

Although Hagrid knew that Aragog wanted to use him to re-establish his own position.

But being able to participate in the experiment was also Haiger's hope.

"Ok."

Moon was unaware of Hagrid's situation; he simply silently mourned for Ron for a minute.

During the summer vacation, Moon stayed at the Burrow for a period of time.

It was then that he learned that Ron was terrified of spiders.

Now that we know the experiment will also use spiders as materials, I wonder if Weaversley, who only knows minor curses, will still be eager to sign up for the experiment.

That evening, Moon returned to the castle before the school gates closed.

They also brought back the gift that Hagrid had prepared for Bouncy.

For the next two days, everything proceeded smoothly as planned.

Moon's [Flock of Birds] can now summon 13 robins.

After two days of practice, Moon was able to control more than half of the robins, carrying burning materials to the designated location.

This brings him one step closer to his planned goal.

The "mouse-catching team" formed by Bouncy, Mrs. Lorris, and Laifu were also busy.

They have already searched most of the pipe area in the Gryffindor Tower.

Although they had not yet found any trace of the gray rat Banban, the three little animals had no intention of giving up.

Of course, Ron was also indirectly involved in this organization.

However, Banban was clearly hiding on purpose, not wanting to be discovered.

As for the number of young wizards who participated in the spell registration experiment, it has exceeded 200.

These are just students in grades one through three. As for students in higher grades, I heard that all of them have signed up for the experiment.

However, these people don't have much of a relationship with Moon for the time being.

On Saturday, he specifically sought out Professor Flitwick to discuss the spell evaluation project to be conducted the following week.

It was Sunday midnight again.

After settling the iron box, Mu En took Beng Beng and returned to Jinglan City.

When Moon opened his eyes again, he saw Neil, who had been by his side the whole time.

Although Moon knew that the person guarding him was an ordinary person.

He might not even be able to withstand a single curse, but this protection gave him a great sense of security.

"Uncle, I'm back. You can rest for a bit."

"Oh, how was it? No problems this time, right?"

Upon hearing Moon's voice, Neil quickly turned around and looked at him eagerly.

"Of course, and I've also found a way to get you out of here."

Moon then laid out everything he wanted to do next.

This included using magic to create chaos, allowing the people of Veterans' Alley to take the opportunity to leave Jinglan City.

He was then to pick up Jay's cousin at the military academy, and then they would leave together.

It's unimaginable how Moon came up with the idea in three minutes.

But this series of plans did not dispel Neil's doubts.

After listening to Moon's story, Neil paced back and forth in the tent several times before slowly speaking.

"It's too difficult to realize all the plans you've made. If possible, you should leave with Jay."

After talking with Moon, Neil gradually understood the current situation of the people in Veterans Alley.

Especially after hearing what Moon had been doing on the Vena Islands over the past year.

Neil knew that the federal military had detained them to lure out Moon, or rather, to extract something from Moon.

However, as long as Moon doesn't show up, their safety can naturally be guaranteed.

After all, they are just bait, and they still have some value.

However, Moon clearly didn't think so.

"Uncle, you must believe in my magical abilities. I can definitely get you out of Jinglan City."

Hearing this, Neil shook his head helplessly.

“I understand how you feel. If the people guarding outside were all unarmed ordinary people, perhaps we could really leave like this. But those people are all veterans who have retired from the battlefield. They won’t panic because of a little fire.”

In fact, Moon had never told Neil about his learning magic in another world.

But judging from Moon's mental state each time he returned, Neil could guess that it must be a peaceful world without war.

Only in this way could Moon believe that magic could break through the heavily guarded encirclement of the army. "Think about it, child. If you are discovered, you won't be facing 1000 ordinary people, but 1000 loaded muskets. Even so, can you subdue them all at once?"

"This, perhaps."

Moon pondered for a moment, what if he really was facing 1000 well-trained soldiers alone?

All you need to do is cast the [Mirror Light Spell] and the [Iron Armor Spell], and then combine them with the Invisibility Cloak and the Flying Broom.

If he doesn't aim to kill the enemy, Moon has a high probability of escaping the encirclement.

However, if you bring other people along, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

"Okay, even if you can dodge these muskets, can you dodge the guns hidden in the shadows? These are all killers who have seen death before."

Neil clearly didn't believe Moon had that kind of ability.

Especially when he was in a parent's position, he would unconsciously think that this was a display of youthful impetuosity by Moon.

Moon is indeed deserving of such a performance.

After all, he led a large group of people and not only survived on the islands.

Moreover, it has become the largest force in the area.

However, Moon couldn't answer Neil's question this time.

Although he has gained night vision, he can only maintain this ability for one hour each day.

The black gun hidden in the shadows will never appear where it can be seen.

Therefore, if such a threat really exists, Moon wouldn't dare to guarantee that he could easily avoid it.

However, at this moment, the bouncy creature standing on Moon's shoulder hopped up and raised its hand.

"Chirp chirp!" (I can, I can, I can spot the hiding two-legged creatures in advance.)
What does that mean?

Seeing the pet on Moon's shoulder, Neil looked at his nephew with great excitement.

"Oh, Bouncy said it can spot enemies hiding in the shadows."

"You can! How can you entrust your life to an animal?"

Neil, of course, didn't understand, and Bouncy felt very wronged.

"Chirp?" (Why not? I won't let my two-legged creature get hurt.)
Neil knew nothing about magical creatures, so no matter how Bouncy tried to explain, he didn't ask the pet what it meant.

"Actually, Beng Beng is very smart. If you are really worried, I can find another way to get you out."

Seeing that Moon's attitude remained so firm, Neil shook his head and sighed helplessly.

“You silly child, I wanted you to leave first. The situation in Jinglan City is too complicated; it’s completely beyond your ability to handle.”

"Uncle, please stop trying to persuade me. I promised Aunt that I would take you back."

Neil wanted to say something more, but thinking about what Moon had gone through over the past year, he wisely shut his mouth.

He knew that Moon had already shouldered a lot of responsibilities that he shouldn't have to bear at his age.

"Alright, if you really plan to stay in Blue City, be sure to avoid the Crusaders."

"Crusaders, who are these people?"

Upon hearing Moon's question, Neil quickly returned to his desk and drew the Crusader emblem.

"Actually, I'm not entirely sure either, but according to rumors in the army, the Crusaders are very powerful. They often hunt down troublesome black wizards on orders from the federal authorities."

According to information gathered by Neil, the Crusades were not long established.

This army did not exist at least 30 years ago during the Commonwealth War of Independence.

It was only during the two or three months that Neil was imprisoned in Jinglan City that he gradually learned about the relevant information.

This also reminded Moon of when he first started learning magic, and Zhalan had explained to him the situation of dark wizards living on this continent.

They hide like rats, and once discovered, the authorities will dispatch a large number of troops to exterminate them.

Clearly, the Federation's Crusaders are such a force.

"Okay, I'll pay attention."

Moon accepted the Crusader emblem drawn by Neil as he spoke.

The image above depicts a sword slicing through a horizontal wizard's scepter, which together form a cross.

At this moment, the soldiers guarding outside noticed the strange thing inside the tent and were cautiously approaching.

Moon immediately put on his invisibility cloak and was about to turn and leave when Neil suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

"Be very careful and never take any risks."

Moon did not answer, but nodded and quickly dodged away from the soldier who went into the tent.

“Instructor Scarlett, it’s so late, you should go back and rest.”

The soldier who entered the tent looked around and, finding no one in sight, stared intently at Neil.

"Oh, I was just about to leave. I didn't realize it was so late."

Neil pretended to stretch and then walked out of the tent.

The soldier who walked in gave Neil a wink, and the two soldiers behind him followed closely behind.

Moon followed the three of them until he saw Neil walk back to his room and felt safe for the time being, then he returned the way he came.

It was around three or four in the morning.

The entire city of Jinglan fell silent, and the wide streets were deserted.

Only the torches still moving on the distant city walls proved that the city was heavily guarded.

Upon returning to Pierre's mansion, Moon noticed that the gaps in the magic circle he had created when he left had disappeared.

"So this magic circle can repair itself."

Moon gradually developed an interest in the magic possessed by the Federation spellcasters.

Another [Spell to Stop] was cast, and the magic circle showed a flaw once again.

After passing through the gap, Moon quickly returned to the lounge.

It was not long before dawn, and Moon lay on the bed pretending to sleep without taking off his clothes.

He thought the rescue operation would proceed smoothly, but the situation turned out to be more complicated than he had imagined.

"Parliament, military, spellcasters, crusaders, the forces within the Federation are truly unfathomable."

While on the Vena Islands, the tribal shamans also faced hostile forces from the outside.

But internally, there was almost no opposition.

Even after Moon returned as the successor to the High Priest, he only encouraged ordinary people to learn new knowledge, and there was no confrontation.

But once they arrived in Jinglan City, things became complicated.

"It seems that as the sphere of influence expands, the voices of opposition will also grow louder. Dealing with this situation will certainly not be a simple matter."

To be honest, Moon didn't value the Federation that much at first, especially in terms of magic.

But now it seems that he still has a lot to learn.

For example, there are these intricate relationships, an army already equipped with a large number of firearms, and a mysterious witch-hunting organization.

After returning, Beng Beng was sullen and unhappy.

It knew that the big two-legged creature was neither a bad person nor had any malicious intent.

But whenever he thinks about how the other person doesn't believe him, Beng Beng gets very unhappy.

Lying on Moon's stomach, bouncing up and down with each breath, bouncy tilts its head back to look at Moon.

Although he had no idea what the two-legged creature beneath him was thinking, Bouncy grew to like it more and more.

It's best to raise two-legged creatures yourself; they're not rebellious at all. I wish other two-legged creatures were like that too.

[By the way, how about we get two more to keep as pets?]
