#132 - You are the devil - Two Worlds: I studied at Hogwarts

"You are a devil!"

This was the only sentence Miles, the biggest pirate leader on the pirate ship, said when he fell.

It was also the clearest and most deeply felt sentence for those who were still in the cabin at this moment.

Some around were cheering, some were rejoicing, and even more felt a sense of relief after surviving a disaster.

But regardless of the situation, they all looked at Moon with a hint of awe and complexity.

Moon didn't know if he was a devil; he only knew that he had just learned silent spellcasting.

This is a way of casting spells without having to recite incantations; the wizard only needs to wave his wand and use his mind to complete the spellcasting.

Silent spellcasting is faster than ordinary spellcasting.

This is also why Moon was able to deflect the bullet in such a short time just now.

However, when he successfully used the [Levitation Charm] to redirect the bullet, a crisp metallic sound rang out.

What was that sound?

Moon had already seen the bullet penetrate the wooden board without any hindrance.

And since the sound still rang in his ears, it could only be related to himself.

While Moon was thinking, Zalan and Hall had already surrounded him.

"What just happened? You waved your wand too fast; I couldn't see it clearly at all."

For Zalan to admit it was fast, Moon knew that he must have waved his wand incredibly quickly.

"I don't know what happened, but I survived, didn't I?"

Zalan didn't know when Moon had become so reckless.

However, he did see a shadow of his father in the boy before him.

Moon's father had also risked his life to pull Zalan out of a pile of dead bodies.

It was precisely because of this that he decided to stay by Moon's side.

"You should learn some protective magic."

"I know, I'll go learn it when I sleep next time."

Learning magic while sleeping.

Only Zalan knew what Moon was talking about.

Moon had just heard Hermione talk about protective magic last week.

The little witch accidentally discovered a spell called [Protego] while looking for information about Transfiguration in the library.

Moon only learned about this spell on Sunday evening.

He didn't have time to learn this complex spell before returning to the Thorns.

Moon decided that he must learn this spell when he goes to Hogwarts this time, and also figure out what that wonderful state he entered twice was all about.

Two hundred and seventy-nine pirates, this is the statistic for those captured and those with complete bodies.

As for the pirates who were blown to pieces and those who jumped into the sea and didn't come back up, Gold estimated there were about a hundred.

"Sir, what are your plans for these pirates?"

After cleaning up the battlefield, Gold approached Moon again.

His tone was now more humble and respectful than when he first met Moon.

Gold had never imagined that he would have a day to defeat pirates in his life, and it would be a great victory without a single death.

Because of Moon's presence, only two crew members on the Thorns accidentally fell into the sea while using the ropes during this boarding operation.

But this is nothing to those who make a living at sea all year round.

Gold was very clear about what he relied on to defeat the pirates this time, so he bowed even lower when facing Moon.

"What would you usually do with pirates?"

Moon had no experience dealing with pirates; this was even his first time seeing them.

"I..... we used to pay protection fees or run away when we saw pirates, so...."

Gold said here, suddenly thought of something, and bowed again.

"Sir, perhaps we can sell these pirates to the officials of the Vena Islands; they have been offering public bounties for pirates all along."

Under Gold's explanation, Moon learned that the Vena Islands had issued bounties for pirates throughout the nearby sea.

Ordinary pirates, a reward of five gold coins; if they can be captured alive, the reward is doubled.

As for higher-level pirates, the reward is between one hundred and one thousand gold coins, also doubled if captured alive.

"I just interrogated these bastards; they originally occupied a small island called Sea Serpent Island on the southeast side of the Vena Islands."

"Southeast side?"

Moon asked in surprise.

"Yes, I don't know why they ran here and ran into us; it seems they were destined to fall into our hands."

The Thorns travels between the Federation and the Vena Islands all year round; this area is in the northwest direction of the Vena Islands,

So Gold was so unfamiliar when he saw this group of pirates. "However, sir, this pirate leader is definitely worth no less than five hundred gold coins; he occupies an island, after all. It's just a pity that he wasn't captured alive..."

Gold immediately shut his mouth when he said this, and then carefully looked at Moon.

"Oh, sorry, sir, I know this pirate leader just..."

"It doesn't matter; it's worth money even dead. I'll leave the matter of collecting the bounty to you; remember to share the money with everyone who contributed."

"Yes, don't worry, sir."

After receiving the order, Gold went to deal with the pirate prisoners.

Moon could see that this maritime merchant was very happy today.

"I never thought that after leaving the army for more than ten years, I would experience the taste of licking blood from the knife again today."

"Alright, Hall, if Moon hadn't been here today, more than three hundred pirates! Based on us and those crew members, it's hard to say who would have died."

"Of course I know, but Old Luke, don't you feel that killing pirates today was enjoyable?"

"Of course it was enjoyable....

1 The matter of cleaning up the battlefield would naturally not be done by Moon himself.

After the battle, for Moon's safety, he was asked by everyone to stay on the deck of the Sea Serpent.

For this reason, two veterans were always watching over Moon.

Hearing the conversation of the two veterans beside him, Moon laughed.

These veterans have been suppressed in Xilin Town ever since they came down from the battlefield. This time, Neil didn't take them to the Snow Eagle Mountain defense line, which made these veterans complain more than once.

"Uncle Hall, Uncle Luke, there is actually something even more enjoyable."

"What is it?"

The two old men with white hair and beards no longer looked at Moon with the eyes of looking at their grandchildren.

After this battle, the two veterans also knew that Moon had truly become the backbone of them.

"What do you think about us keeping this ship?"

Moon had been observing the condition of the ship on the deck.

Although this pirate ship was blown up a lot by Moon's [Incendio], because its material was very hard,

It did not destroy the real core components.

The keel, three masts, rigging, and rudder are all intact.

Only the deck and side panels were blown up a lot, and the three sails were also burned out.

Originally there were still open flames on the ship, but they were all extinguished after Moon and the others boarded the ship.

"Can this ship still be used?"
