Gord never imagined that he simply wanted to win over a magician for an adventure, but he would encounter a battle between magicians.
Especially after seeing that the opposing two magicians were older and had considerable magical power, Gord secretly retreated back into the cabin.
The veterans who came out with Munn had a different attitude.
Originally, Hall firing the gun was just a form of intimidation, but he didn't expect the opponent's magic to be able to reflect it, which greatly surprised them.
Especially seeing Munn stop attacking after trying once, the veterans couldn't help but feel emboldened.
Munn didn't have the veterans' nervousness; he was even faintly excited at this moment.
Just now, he first cast an [Iron Armor Curse] on himself, and then fired a [Leg-Locking Curse] at the opponent.
Unsurprisingly, the spell was also reflected back, hitting his defensive magic.
Munn could feel that the power of the reflected [Leg-Locking Curse] had actually diminished somewhat.
Moreover, he also discovered that the opponent's defensive magic power was also weakening.
After discovering this, Munn's psychological pressure was actually reduced a lot.
He had the veterans raise their flintlock guns and continue aiming, while he began experimenting with spells on the opponent's defensive magic.
The [Leg-Locking Curse] could reflect about 70% of its power.
The [Petrification Curse] was about 50%.
The [Thunderclap Explosion] was only 30%.
The [Incendio] was only 20%.
After casting a strong [Iron Armor Curse] on himself, Munn began to experiment with offensive magic one by one.
The two magicians surrounded in the middle had even uglier expressions at this time.
They originally erected this difficult protective magic to resist the attack of the flintlock guns, and even thought about using reflected bullets to eliminate the surrounding enemies.
But they didn't expect the subsequent series of changes to exceed their expectations.
Before the bullets could be reflected, they had already discovered the magician in the crowd.
Before they could be surprised by the age of the opposing magician, they discovered that the reflection of the defensive magic had not succeeded.
Just as they were preparing to remove the magic defense and attack again, the very young magician actually started the magic offensive first.
The two magicians initially didn't take Munn's attack seriously, after all, the magician's age was too young.
But after seeing Munn's casting speed and power, their expressions became more and more unsightly.
Complex gestures and incantations.
This meant that both magicians needed a breath's time to cast offensive spells.
And Munn could cast nine [Petrification Curses] in the same amount of time.
That is to say, they had no confidence that they could still cast a magic offensive and escape smoothly after removing the defense.
Munn's mastery of [Obstruction Charm] and [Iron Armor Curse] was not long.
But with the blessing of the Old Willow Wand, the defensive strength and duration he could sustain were enhanced.
It was after Munn cast the third [Incendio] that he heard the sound of glass shattering.
The opponent's defensive spell was broken!
Munn took the opportunity to cast two [Petrification Curses], stopping the enemy who had just begun to form a set of gestures.
Thump! Thump!
Two figures fell straight onto the deck.
Munn saw disbelief in their only remaining movable eyes.
"Seal their mouths, lock their fingers, to prevent accidents."
After subduing the two magicians, Munn walked over, pulled off the antique ring, and then said the most reasonable control method at the moment.
"Don't worry, those pirates equipped the slaves with a lot of these things; it's more than enough to control them."
"Okay, also remind me to cast a spell on them every hour."
Munn wasn't sure if these wizards had other strange abilities.
Anyway, he would do everything he could.
Watching the veterans drag the two magicians into the cabin like corpses, Gord walked out with some lingering fear.
Apart from Munn, he had never seen other wizards use magic in battle.
After seeing two adult male wizards enter the ship, he originally thought that everyone present today would be unable to escape death.
But unexpectedly, the two male wizards were eventually killed by Munn.
Especially the strength that Munn is showing now is completely different from when he dealt with the pirates a week ago.
Gord remembered very clearly that the fire magic Munn cast was much more powerful than when he blew up the pirate ship.
"Sir Scarlett's magical strength has progressed too quickly."
While Gord was still in shock, First Mate Karen came to his side.
"Captain, I want to follow Sir Scarlett."
Munn didn't know what the final result of the Thorn's captain and first mate's discussion was.
After checking the soldiers' injuries, he took out a magic potion and gave it to Lance.
Then he himself quickly came to the second floor of the cabin.
This place was originally where the pirates detained and punished slaves.
Now, except for a few rooms filled with materials, the rest still retained the original torture tools.
Hall was very excited at this time. Since Munn became a spellcaster, he knew that magicians were not that mysterious.
But being able to capture two magicians alive like today still made him feel a little unbelievable.
"Little Munn, hurry up and go. I will definitely ask about all the information you just told me to."
Munn was actually very curious; he didn't remember making enemies with any magicians.
So he couldn't figure out why magicians would sneak onto their ship and attack their soldiers.
For Munn, it was now necessary to find out the origins of these two wizards and the magical secrets on them.
"Okay, be sure to remember to keep their hands secure. If any incomprehensible words pop out of their mouths, seal them up immediately."
Munn was not yet clear about what kind of magic related to interrogation existed in the magic world,
What he can do now is to disrupt the spellcasting process of these magicians as much as possible.
"Don't worry, aren't you going to study that ring? Go quickly; leave these two to us."
Seeing the five veterans showing confident expressions, Munn didn't stay any longer either.
Anyway, these two wizards had already been searched, their hands were wrapped in iron chains, and Munn had cast more than a dozen [Leg-Locking Curses] on their legs.
Behind each person, there was also a veteran holding a spherical gagging tool.
Under such circumstances, Munn didn't believe that the other party could still cast any powerful magic.
"Okay, if there are any unexpected situations, knock on the wall; anyway, I'm next door."
Munn didn't know what methods the veterans would use.
But seeing their confident appearance, Munn had no choice but to put away his curiosity and come next door to check the things searched from the two wizards.
Many things were searched from the two magicians.
Fountain pen, notebook, gold pocket watch, leather wallet, monocle, ring.
Munn first checked the wallet and found that in addition to a dozen gold coins, there was also a deposit slip from Bailey Bank.
Face value of three thousand gold coins.
"Who said magicians are like rats? Their lives are definitely much better than ordinary people."
After putting away the deposit slip, Moon checked the other items.
The contents of the notebook seemed more like a procurement record, containing many herbs, as well as ores and metals.
Moon thought these should be the materials they used to refine magic potions or magical tools.
Moon had actually seen one of these two magicians at the dock, but later lost track of him while he was purchasing herbs.
At that time, this wizard had been watching the Scarlet Moon, and he didn't expect them to sneak in at night.
The pocket watch did not show any magical properties, it should only be used to record time, but the material was very good, with a high gold content.
The appearance of the monocle was very peculiar.
The material of the lens in the middle was very thin, and some transparent strange patterns were carved on it.
The outside was a frame of black metal material, which was also covered with dense symbols.
A black leather rope was also attached to the corners of the frame.
Because he didn't know if the glasses had any magic, Moon picked it up and placed it at a distance to observe.
At first, there was no discovery, but when he pointed the glasses at his money bag, Moon found that the money bag was slightly distorted.
When he moved the glasses away again, the money bag returned to its original shape.
After trying it back and forth several times, Moon guessed that this monocle should be able to see faint magical energy.
"No wonder that man at the dock this afternoon was wearing glasses to observe the Scarlet Moon."
After Moon returned this time, he cast the Color Change Charm and [Thief Detection Charm] on the Scarlet Moon.
The same spell was also cast on his money bag.
And this monocle just happened to be able to detect this slight magical fluctuation.
That's why the other party was able to accurately discover the Scarlet Moon among thousands of ships.
"This is simply an excellent auxiliary treasure prepared for wizards who like to explore."
The ability of the monocle made Moon very curious. This was the first time he had seen a magical tool for auxiliary observation.
In order to test the limits of this thing, Moon successively cast several spells.
[Obstacles Galore], [Iron Armor Curse], [Fire-Making Spell]....
After several consecutive experiments, Moon found that the monocle had a very small reaction to pure spell energy, especially the higher-level spells, the smaller the fluctuation effect.
On the other hand, the reaction to some magical items was very large.
For example, the alchemical key he got.
After pointing the monocle at it, he could not only clearly see the tiny rune circuits, but also see the different magical energy colors.
Moon already knew when he obtained the alchemical key that it was made of three basic materials.
The main body is meteorite iron, the teeth are magma amber, and the handle is wrapped with serpent skin.
When the monocle was pointed at it, the main body shone with a transparent golden color, the teeth were fiery red,
and the handle exuded a rich black color.
"This glasses should be made for alchemists!"
After discovering that the monocle could observe alchemical items very well, Moon was overjoyed.
He was originally very worried about studying the runes of alchemy.
Now with this glasses, he can directly roughly infer the true meaning represented by these runes,
which can save him the effort of consulting a lot of information.
Thinking of this, Moon pointed the monocle at the Old Willow Wand again.
As the magical tool that has accompanied him for the longest time, Moon has always been very curious about how magical the Old Willow Wand is.
"This... this..."
Through the monocle, Moon found that the Old Willow Wand emitted a very strong green magical energy, which was also mixed with a golden light like a substance.
The color of the energy emitted was several times higher than that of the alchemical key.
After all, one color is already like a substance, and one can still see the key pattern behind it.
"It seems that the combination of Old Willow and Unicorn Horn core is indeed extraordinary, but in the future, I should try not to take it out in front of people."
Moon didn't know if anyone in the world where Hogwarts was located would snatch some special wands.
But in this world, since someone can observe the energy fluctuations of magical items through items like monocles, then Moon can only try his best not to reveal the existence of the wand.
After all, Moon's wizard level is only one and a half bars now. He hasn't encountered a powerful magician yet, but it's hard to say in the future.
"I still need to learn magic and improve my strength as soon as possible. This is the capital to survive well in the magical world."
After putting down the monocle, Moon finally picked up the ring that could flash blue light.
During the battle just now, Moon noticed that the wizard who cast the defense and rebound magic was using the power of this ring.
"This isn't another alchemical item, is it?"
Looking at the many complex runes on the ring and the exquisite craftsmanship, Moon knew that his guess should be correct.
"Did I poke the alchemist's nest, or does the magic of this world pay more attention to these alchemical items?"
Although Moon doesn't have much contact with the magicians of this world, he has always believed that the power of a magician comes from knowledge and diligent practice.
For this reason, when he was studying at Hogwarts, he would spend a lot of time practicing and practicing spells,
but in this world, although Moon has only been in contact with three wizards, including one who died, he has already obtained three alchemical items.
And it's not like wands, which are uniformly standard magical tools.
Keys, monocles, rings.
Not only are the shapes different, but the rune circuits on them are also completely different.
This made Moon even more curious about the level of alchemy in this world.
"It's a bit too early to make this judgment now. I've encountered too few magicians. Maybe they're just a group."
Moon didn't know why these alchemists were looking for him, but now that he had the monocle, studying alchemical runes would be more convenient.
Moon once obtained a library card from Professor McGonagall, and then found a basic alchemical material in the library.
γThe Most Obscure Text: A Preliminary Exploration of Alchemical Runesγ
By reading this alchemical material, Moon already knew that the three basic components of alchemy are materials,
structural craftsmanship and rune magic arrays.
Among them, the most obscure and difficult to understand is the last one: rune magic array.
There are many types of runes, each containing a special magical meaning.
Arranging the runes in an orderly manner according to the rules, and then engraving them on alchemical items, can form a magic array with magical energy.
The larger the magical energy of an alchemical item, the more runes are engraved on it, and the greater the power of the magic array formed.
For example, Moon only learned last week about the mysterious Philosopher's Stone hidden in Hogwarts.
"With this glasses, maybe I can really study alchemy in advance."
