The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Jack's exclamation drew everyone's attention overseas.

There was a huge tentacle, like a long dragon, black and foul-smelling, covered with suckers the size of tires.

"Bang!"

The tentacles slapped the water's surface relentlessly, creating towering waves.

In an instant, water splashed and a torrential downpour began.

A large storm in the distance seemed to have its eye on the Black Onyx, and it flew over menacingly.

"Moriarty?"

Lilith looked at Moriarty. She knew this little trouble wouldn't do anything to Moriarty, but she didn't know if he would lend a hand.

Moriarty shook his head slightly and said calmly, "I want to see how Black Wizard performs. The storm is a minor matter. Even if Black Wizard fails to handle it, I can still save everyone before the storm engulfs the Black Agate."

So the group focused their attention on Wizard Black.

Wearing a dark blue wizard's robe, Black calmly walked up to Class A upon hearing Jack's call.

"Whoosh~"

The wizard Black pulled out his wand, which produced a whooshing sound as it went through the air.

Moriarty and the others all turned their heads.

Black's wand was twice as thick and twice as long as theirs.

"Are all wands like this in this era?" Draco asked, like a curious child, asking about everything.

"His wand was most likely stolen from someone else." Moriarty had just used the magic AI to calculate and found that Black Wizard might be a dark wizard, in short, not a good person.

"Indeed," Lilith chuckled, "the rise of any family is not accidental; it is a glory forged on the blood and sweat of countless people."

During the conversation, waves crashed towards the Black Onyx!

Black the wizard raised his wand.

"Retreat the enemy three feet!"

Dozens of waves were seen to be frozen in mid-air!

The wizard Black pointed his wand at the sea, and the waves spun in the air before crashing into the ocean.

Moriarty and his group blinked.

show!

"Is this ancient magic?" Hermione asked, somewhat uncertainly.

“Yes,” Moriarty explained to everyone’s confusion, “I saw it in Professor Dumbledore’s notebook. The spell was gradually simplified, and the Transfiguration Master combined it with Transfiguration. By our time, the spell had disappeared.”

"That's so lucky," Lilith said, a smile playing on her lips. "I've already learned it."

"I watched it once and I learned it too." Hermione smiled secretly.

Draco looked utterly dejected. "I often feel out of place with you guys because I'm not smart enough."

At that moment, Wizard Black waved his wand behind him.

"Waterproof and moisture-proof!"

The entire ship was protected by an invisible spell, preventing any rainwater from getting in.

Black the wizard hasn't removed his wand yet!

"Waterproof and sun-protective!"

"Beware of wind and lightning!"

"Fire and electrical safety!"

"Prevent disasters and calamities!"

Black Wizard calmly cast multiple protective spells in one go.

Feeling the invisible protection, Soldaya exclaimed, "The protective effect seems to be even better than the protection of these spells."

Hermione said, "I also think these protective charms are more convenient than the protective charms we use."

Moriarty concluded, "There's a saying in Spellcasting that the simpler and more direct the spell, the greater its magical effect."

"Ancient protective spells are direct and focused on protection, but they lack any warning effect. The protective spells we use may be slightly weaker in terms of protection, but they are far superior to ancient spells in terms of warning and alerting capabilities."

After hearing this, everyone seemed to be deep in thought.

At this moment, the Black Agate is impervious to water and fire.

However, if a spell like the Peaceful Guardian were used, the Black Agate would have been warned of danger even before it entered this area, so it might not have come here at all.

The two spells have different focuses.

"Bang!"

A loud bang shattered everyone's thoughts.

The enormous tentacle swung high into the air and then fell from the sky!

In an instant, it blotted out the sky and the sun.

Darkness enveloped the Black Agate, and everyone on board felt only pitch blackness.

A sense of oppression and fear arose in my heart.

"It's okay, I'll handle it!"

Black the wizard spoke loudly, and a beam of white light shot out from his wand.

Like a white lotus amidst filth, it exudes a calm and peaceful aura, bringing tranquility to the mind.

"Protect the Gods!"

The wizard Black amplified his magic, and the white light flew around in the air, eventually transforming into a large white dog.

The large white dog leaped onto the deck with a thud and began running rhythmically around the Black Agate ship at a fast pace, circling it again and again.

Upon seeing this, Moriarty couldn't help but laugh.

"Black Wizard's Patronus Charm is Monkey Dog, okay, that's so Black."

Draco felt a pang of sadness. Why wasn't he a dragon? That way, he could call himself a descendant of the dragon.

As the dog ran, the darkness brought by the tentacles was also dispelled.

Blake looked up at the falling tentacles, his wand pointing to the sky.

"Big explosion!"

A spell, alternating between white and black light, was launched like a bomb.

The loud noise startled everyone.

Draco's mouth gaped open, his ears ringing: "What did you say? Thor! I can't hear you!"

Soldaya slapped Draco on the back. "I didn't say anything!!!"

"What???"

……

"boom!!!"

The curse struck the tentacles, causing a tremendous explosion.

The tremors were intense, the sea surface shook, and the Black Agate swayed from side to side like a pendulum.

"Bang!"

A window-sized hole appeared on the tentacle, and black blood gushed out as if it were free.

"Good!" Upon seeing this, Wizard Black's eyes lit up. He ran on the deck, adjusting his angle, while raising his wand and continuously casting spells.

"Big explosion!"

"Big explosion!"

……

Several spells accurately struck the tentacles.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

The tentacles were blasted to pieces, a bloody mess. The spilled black blood polluted a large area of ​​the seawater.

A hint of mockery appeared on Lilith's stunningly beautiful face.

"Now I understand why Wizard Black dared to go out to sea alone, and why the people on the ship trusted Wizard Black so much."

Hermione gave a soft "hmm" and smiled, "Black the wizard, or rather the ancient wizard, is more powerful than we imagine."

Everyone nodded, but Draco suddenly stammered:

"But what I don't understand even more is why ancient wizards, who were so powerful, were persecuted by Muggles?"

"You've finally asked a good question," Soldaya said, patting Draco on the shoulder.

Everyone fell into deep thought.

Moriarty gazed into the distance as the severed tentacles slowly retracted into the sea, signifying the end of the crisis.

But as Draco said, such a powerful ancient wizard was persecuted by Muggles.

Do not understand.

Moriarty could tell that the ancient spells used by the Black wizard were neither magic unique to the Black family nor high-level magic.

In this era, curses like "Big Boom" are as common as "Expelliarmus".

And what about Muggles?

In 1707, Muggles were still 50 years away from the First Industrial Revolution!

"Waaah—"

A brief but sharp and high-pitched strange sound came.

"Waaah—"

Another sound.

The people on the boat looked around.

What was that sound?

"Where?"

"like……"

"It's beneath our feet!!!"

Hundreds of eyes slowly focused on the underwater area.

A colossal black shadow slowly emerged from the water!

"Bang!"

The hull of the Black Agate was struck hard by something.

The next second, the Black Onyx took off!
