#157 - Someone is poisoned

The captured magician wrote down the detailed information of 【Mirror Light Reversal】.

This defensive magic should have four upgrade versions, but he only knows two.

This is similar to the 【Iron Armor Curse】 learned by Mune.

After the wizards in the world where Hogwarts is located made a variant of the 【Iron Armor Curse】, they enhanced the power and protection ability of this spell, and then the 【Iron Armor Curse】 also had different levels.

"Mirror light shines, reverse tide surges, all who come shall return, protect my body!" (Ancient language)

This is the basic spell of the 【Mirror Light Reversal】 magic.

Each spell also contains three sets of gestures, a total of twelve sets.

"This magic is indeed unexpected, but the casting technique is too complicated."

After reading the elementary introduction of this spell, Mune knew that he was not suitable for learning it now.

Because according to this step of learning, after the 【Mirror Light Reversal】 is cast, Mune can already cast at least 12 【Petrification Curse】.

However, these wizards should have also realized that the spell casting speed is slow, and then they created the magic spell auxiliary ring.

That is, the ring that Mune snatched from the magician last night.

According to the captured magician, with the assistance of this ring, the hand movements can be reduced by half.

The function of the magic ring is not only that, it is also an auxiliary item for casting the upgraded version of 【Mirror Light Reversal】.

"Take light as a shield, reverse the tide back, resist all blades, reflect the edge!" (Ancient language)

This is the second upgrade spell known by the captured magician, which increases the magic defense intensity on the basis of the original spell.

This is very similar to the strengthened 【Iron Armor Curse】 learned by Mune, except that the opponent has an additional function of reflecting magic.

After Mune obtained this set of magic spells, he immediately verified its authenticity.

Perhaps because he was not familiar with the spells and gestures, Mune tried three times before he succeeded in casting it.

When this magic spell was cast, Mune couldn't see any magic traces around him.

But he could feel that there was a magic mirror in front of him that could completely cover his body.

Let the veterans try to throw some small things at him, and then these things bounced back without exception.

"The defense area is large, and it can make the opponent difficult to react, but the casting process is too troublesome."

After discovering the advantages of this magic, Mune decided that he must carefully transform this spell in the future. Since Mune learned "Magic Secrets: The Method of Magic Transformation" in the library, his research on magic has never stopped.

After this period of magic transformation records, Mune has become more and more aware of the basics of magic construction, and he is also more and more confident in transforming magic.

After the captured magician handed the gestures to Mune, he had been observing what the little wizard in front of him would do.

Until Mune tried three times and succeeded in this complicated defensive magic, and he didn't bring a magic ring,

The magician suddenly felt disheartened.

"It seems that our failure is not without reason. Who are you? A magician like you cannot be unknown."

The captured magician has lived in Nitz Harbor for more than ten years, and he has done a lot of things to rob other magicians.

But he has never encountered such a big failure, and it is still in the hands of a very young magician, which makes him very difficult to accept.

"What's the point of knowing this now?"

Mune looked at the other party helplessly.

He actually didn't have so much malice towards these two magicians, but Mune would not let them leave.

"No, I just want to know who we lost to, so that we might be able to convince ourselves and make ourselves feel better."

"Heh ~"

Hearing the other party's self-deceiving words, Mune chuckled.

"Actually, I am a very peaceful person. If you just came on the boat to get back the key, maybe we can have a good discussion, but I didn't expect you to directly hurt people."

Hearing Mune say that he was peaceful, the two captured wizards didn't believe it at all.

If it was really peaceful, then what would their torment all night be?

Just as Mune was considering how to deal with these two wizards, Zalan, who was in charge of all the affairs on the ship, came to the torture chamber.

"Someone is visiting outside, saying they want to find a magician."

Zalan glanced at the captured wizard casually. There was no look in his eyes, just like looking at two dead people.

After Mune heard Zalan's words, he turned his head and looked at the two magicians again.

"Look, if you come to visit like this, maybe I will really have a good talk with you, after all, I really love peace."

After Mune finished speaking, he followed Zalan out of the room, and the two magicians were resealed in their mouths in a panic.

Of course, Goat was also on standby next to him.

"Leave these two magicians to me, it's not a solution to keep them imprisoned like this."

After leaving the room, Zalan looked at Mune and said.

He knew that Mune had not really killed anyone until now, and he didn't want to affect Mune's learning of magic because of these things.

"Actually, we can ask them for more information, after all, we know too little about the magic world."

Mune did not directly refuse, he just wanted to squeeze the secrets out of these two magicians.

"This can be handed over to Hall and the others, I believe it will be handled very well."

Mune never knew that Hall and the others would torture people before, but tonight really opened his eyes.

"By the way, be sure to tell everyone, try not to call out the full name in front of the magician."

After hearing Mune's words, Zalan was stunned for a moment.

"Are you worried about being cursed?"

"That's right, although I don't know if there is curse magic in this world, we must be careful."

Mune didn't know much about the curses he learned at Hogwarts.

He knew that most of this kind of magic belonged to the category of dark magic, and the way the school taught defense against dark arts was really unsatisfactory.

When there is no way to solve the magic curse now, Mune can only avoid it as much as possible.

"I will remind everyone to pay attention. Also, when will you meet the guests on the ship?"

"There really are people?"

Mune thought that Zalan had something to ask him at first.

"Yes, the person Gorde brought, said to be the person in charge of the Meyerzu-Bailey Chamber of Commerce. Judging from Gorde's attitude, the other party's power should not be small."

"Bailey Chamber of Commerce?"

Mune recalled for a moment, he didn't seem to have any contact with the other party.

Coming from the cabin to the captain's room, this used to be the place where the pirate leader lived, but now it has become Zalan's room and the Scarlet Moon's reception room.

As soon as Mune entered the room, he saw Gorde bending over and saying something to a middle-aged man.

"Oh, this is the owner of the Scarlet Moon."

Seeing Mune approaching, Gorde hurriedly introduced to the other party.

"Your Excellency, they came to me. It's not that I took the liberty to bring him here."

Hearing Gorde's soft explanation, Mune nodded to indicate that he didn't need to care.

"Respected magician, I am Marcel Downs, the person in charge of the Bailey Chamber of Commerce in Nitz Harbor. It is a great honor to meet you."

The middle-aged man was wearing a black dress and a round hat.

After Mune came in, he took off his hat and held it in front of his chest, bowing slightly to Mune.

"Hello, Mr. Downs, may I ask what you are here for?"

Munn didn't know how the other party knew he was a wizard, but he didn't hesitate and directly inquired about their intention.

"Oh, Your Excellency, may I ask, did you buy a Marsh Star Orchid yesterday?"

【Marsh Star Orchid】

This was the most valuable herb Munn had discovered in the herbalist shop yesterday.

It was also the potent detoxifying herb that Professor Snape said only one existed in another world: the Marsh Lily.

Seeing that the other party directly inquired about something he had only done yesterday, Munn simply stared, but the other party didn't answer.

"Oh, Your Excellency, please don't misunderstand, I'm not here for that flower, but to beg the potion master to save a life." After discovering Munn's expression was not right, Downs immediately explained.

"Save a life? You don't look like you've been poisoned."

Munn knew that this herb called the Marsh Star Orchid was a potent detoxification plant, and the other party's arrival following this herb was likely related to detoxification.

"It's not me, Your Excellency, it's our Chamber of Commerce's young lady, Lynn Bailey."

After Downs's explanation, Munn understood the whole story.

The Bailey Chamber of Commerce's young lady was poisoned, and they had sought out all the doctors on the Vina Islands, but none of them were effective.

Later, a wizard told them that only using potions could detoxify, so they began searching for a wizard who could make potions.

But because most wizards liked to hide, the Bailey Chamber of Commerce's search method was very crude.

They took out all the detoxifying herbs in the Chamber of Commerce's inventory and put them in every herbalist shop.

Once someone bought one, they would find the buyer to confirm.

As the Nitz Harbor's Chamber of Commerce负责人, Downs kept track of herb whereabouts every day.

After the Chamber of Commerce's order was issued, he had visited five people who had purchased detoxifying herbs, but this was the only time he discovered that the buyer was a wizard.

After Downs inquired about the herb's whereabouts last night, he found Gold and came to the Scarlet Moon.

"I can concoct detoxifying potions, but I'm very sorry, I haven't collected all the ingredients to make the detoxifying potion yet."

Munn would not use Marsh Lily to concoct detoxifying potions, after all, Professor Snape would not use the only remaining herb to teach students.

However, Munn had just learned another detoxifying potion in potions class last week, which could alleviate most basic poisoning conditions in the magical world.

This potion recipe was originally designed to be matched with Marsh Lily.

It was only later, because this herb became extinct, that potion masters found two other herbs to replace it.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the Bailey Chamber of Commerce has all the materials, now we only lack a potion master."

Hearing the person say this, Munn couldn't help but hesitate.

He turned his head to Gold and cast a [Quiet Whispers].

"Is the Bailey Chamber of Commerce very powerful?"

Hearing Munn's question, Gold instantly understood, he lowered his voice and said softly.

"Your Excellency～"

"It's okay, you can speak loudly, they can't hear you."

Hearing Munn's explanation, Gold looked around blankly.

Discovering that the people around him were showing curious expressions, he knew that this was another of Scarlett's magical spells.

"Okay, Your Excellency, in fact, the Bailey Chamber of Commerce's business is very large. In Nitz Harbor, if I want to do business with them,

I usually can't even see this manager, Mr. Downs."

Munn already had some understanding of Gold's business scale.

Three ocean-going ships, constantly traveling between the Federal Continent and the Vina Islands, should have at least tens of thousands of gold coins in income each year.

But even so, he couldn't get in touch with a manager of the Bailey Chamber of Commerce in the harbor.

This allowed Munn to roughly understand the energy of this Chamber of Commerce.

After Gold finished speaking, Munn thought for a moment and then canceled the spell.

He now very much needed to understand the various magical materials of this world.

If he could establish a relationship with a powerful Chamber of Commerce, it would greatly facilitate Munn's progress in learning the magic of this world.

Thinking of this, Munn looked up at Downs.

"I can agree to concoct the detoxifying potion, but I don't guarantee that I can save the person."

Munn currently didn't know anything about this poisoned Bailey Chamber of Commerce's young lady, so he didn't dare to make a judgment in advance.

However, after Downs received Munn's answer, he immediately bowed deeply.

"Thank you very much, Master, if you can't do it either, I think there shouldn't be any other potion masters on the Vina Islands who can save our young lady."

Downs didn't have much hope when he met Munn.

After all, he had never seen a wizard of such a young age, let alone one who had mastered the art of concocting potions.

But just now, Munn casually cast a spell that could isolate others from eavesdropping, which opened Downs's eyes.

As a manager of the Bailey Chamber of Commerce, he had seen several wizards in the family castle.

But there were almost no wizards like Munn who could easily cast spells.

"You don't have to call me Master, just call me Munn, or Scarlett."

Munn never believed that he could become a master based on his current potion-making skills.

If Professor Snape were here and heard someone call Munn that, he would definitely roar uncontrollably.

"Okay, Your Excellency Scarlett, do you think we can set off now? Our young lady has been deeply poisoned." "Okay, how do we get there?"

"Oh, it's best to go by boat, that should be the fastest way."

Munn's Scarlet Moon was originally scheduled to leave Nitz Harbor today.

Now, with the Bailey Chamber of Commerce as a guarantee, their big black ship no longer had to queue up slowly waiting to leave.

Watching all the ships being arranged to make way, Munn had a new understanding of the Bailey Chamber of Commerce's energy.

"Notify Ben, we'll go save the person first, and then send him back to Ember Island."

Meyerzburg was south of Nitz Harbor, and it would take about half a day to get there by boat.

Now that winter was coming, and there was a north wind howling, the travel time was shortened by half.

So before noon, Munn could see a tall castle standing on the island from the deck of the Scarlet Moon.

Seeing that the castle was still some distance from the coastline, Munn thought they would have to disembark and ride a horse for a while.

But the Bailey Chamber of Commerce's extravagance shocked him again.

"Your Excellency Scarlett, this waterway took the Bailey family three years to dig through, and two thousand people were mobilized at the time, just so that ships could dock directly outside the castle."

Downs stood beside him introducing the wide waterway in front of him.

Munn estimated that this waterway was larger than most of the canals he had seen in the Muggle world, and should be able to accommodate five Scarlet Moons sailing side by side.

At the end of the waterway, the Bailey family also built wide berths.

When the Scarlet Moon was docking, Munn saw three very luxurious and bright white sailing ships.

And a brown-black three-masted sailing ship of the same size as the Scarlet Moon, with a flag that Munn was relatively familiar with hanging on it.

The flag depicted a sun pierced by a sword.

Munn had seen the same pattern in the notebooks of the two wizards he captured last night.
