#185 - The feast is over, let's prepare for battle

Munn understood Zalan's caution, especially after the latter explained the importance of the new fertilizer formula.

Munn directly cast a [Fire-Starting Charm], igniting the parchment in his hand.

"This is..." Zalan was about to dissuade him, but Munn directly waved his hand and pointed to his head.

"Don't worry, it's all in here."

Zalan had long been aware of Munn's memory capabilities, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the parchment completely burned.

"It's best to memorize it; although this thing isn't as magical as magic, it's enough to make many people covet it."

"Don't worry, as long as we find a place of our own, we can be completely self-sufficient and no longer have to worry about any forces."

Munn was well aware of his own magical strength, and he knew that with his current abilities, he couldn't stop the war at all.

So, all he wanted to do now was to make the people around him live a little better; being able to do that would be enough.

"That's right, by then we won't have to look at the Bailly Merchant Guild's face anymore."

Zalan actually disliked the Bailly family's people very much, especially the mutual calculations between relatives, which made him feel cold.

"Don't worry, I will propose leaving to them tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we can set off for Star燼 Island."

All of Munn's affairs in Mierzburg were over, and he didn't want to participate in the Bailly family's infighting, so leaving as soon as possible was the best policy.

"However, have you thought of a way to deal with Montoya?"

When this Faithless wizard returned to intercept the Crimson Moon, Zalan knew that a conflict would definitely break out between the two sides.

Moreover, before Munn left this time, he also said that he would find a way to deal with the other party, but Zalan was still a little worried now.

He had already learned about Montoya's strength from the mouths of two captured mages.

Montoya was already the Faithless organization's person in charge on Solman Island, which was equivalent to the rank of Major or Lieutenant Colonel among the spellcasters of the Gracia Federation.

Such a person was a magical force in the Federation capable of independently guarding a city.

And Munn was only eleven years old now, and had been in contact with magic for less than a year; such a disparity in strength made Zalan feel very uneasy.

"Don't worry, I've prepared a lot of good things for him; tomorrow night we can completely get rid of him."

The next day.

When the two principals of the Bailly family heard that Munn was preparing to leave, they held a grand banquet that evening.

Everyone on the Crimson Moon was invited to disembark and attend.

The room where the banquet was held was even wider than the Hogwarts Great Hall, and the decorations were extremely luxurious.

Although there were no magical embellishments, there were still many rare objects that ordinary people rarely saw on display all around.

Exquisitely handcrafted armor, lion skins, huge antlers...

Bungbung had been squatting on Munn's shoulder, and after entering this hall, it curiously looked around at everything.

Especially when it saw the silver cutlery on the dining table and the golden decorations hanging on the walls, the little guy couldn't help but become restless.

At the banquet, Lian Bailly accompanied Munn all the time, constantly explaining the customs and practices of the Vena Islands.

However, in between words, he was also subtly inquiring about Munn's origins and the lineage of Munn's magical learning.

As a well-known wizard on the Vena Islands, he did not believe that such a young magical genius would suddenly appear without any news before.

However, these words of Lian Bailly were all brushed off by Munn with "I have a mysterious teacher."

If the other party asked again, then it was that my teacher didn't allow me to reveal his origins.

In short, Munn kept his secrets very tightly guarded.

Even in the face of various toasting sessions intentionally arranged by Lian Bailly, Munn cleverly used Transfiguration to resolve the possibility of getting drunk.

[Fine Wine to Clear Water]

This was the magic that Munn had learned in Transfiguration class last week, and now it came in handy.

As for the other principal of Mierzburg Castle, Lynn Bailly.

After being rejected by Munn several times, she turned her attention to Aunt Daisy and Sophia.

Relying on her excellent social skills, Lynn made Munn's relatives very happy.

She even inquired about many of Munn's personal affairs.

After learning that Munn had not entered into a marriage contract with anyone, the female head of the Bailly Merchant Guild revealed a look of joy in her eyes.

However, all of this was seen by Munn, who had drunk a lot of "clear water."

After the banquet ended, Munn was carried away from Mierzburg Castle by Zalan.

After getting away from the sight of everyone in the Bailly family, he arranged for Hall and Lance to take care of everyone and return to the ship, while the two of them immediately ran towards a distant forest.

Because he didn't know how much energy the Faithless had behind them, and in order to ensure the safety of his family,

Munn didn't plan to directly confront the other party this time.

Using the Bailly family's banquet tonight as cover to secretly deal with Montoya was obviously the best way.

After arriving deep in the woods, Anton, Lian Bailly's personal attendant, had already led two horses here early.

"Lord Scarlett, if you need it, I can go with you to deal with Montoya."

Munn didn't know why Anton was so active, but this battle would inevitably involve many of his secrets, so Munn could only refuse.

"No need, I hope you can go back and stay by Lian Bailly's side, and don't let him notice anything.

This is the safest choice for you and me."

As the most sincere friend he had met at Mierzburg Castle, Munn certainly didn't want anything to happen to the other party.

What he had to deal with now was a wizard of unknown strength, and the Bailly family was deeply involved with the other party.

If there was a slight accident, it was very likely that Anton would be in danger.

"Alright, I'll follow your orders."

Anton originally wanted to say something more, but seeing Munn's sincere eyes, he could only nod in agreement helplessly.

"Don't worry, we will definitely return before dawn, and we will leave the horses here for you to retrieve."

It would take about half a day to travel by water from Mierzburg Castle to where Montoya's sailboat was docked.

And the route on horseback was closer to a straight line, and the speed was also faster.

In less than two hours, Munn and Zalan had already seen the familiar brown three-masted sailboat in the distance.

The place where the ship was docked was very hidden, just in a hook-shaped fjord.

Under the moonlight, Munn could see the Faithless banner still hanging on the mast.

"That's it!"

Zalan also confirmed that the target was correct, and then looked around, finding a suitable place.

"There's a high ground to the northeast, and the wind direction is right; I'll go there and be ready to provide support at any time."

After Munn introduced the things he had brought back this time last night, the two had formulated a detailed battle plan.

Because the opponent was a wizard of unknown strength, the combat methods were bound to be related to magic.

Therefore, Munn was responsible for the main attack this time, while Zalan was responsible for flanking support.

"Don't worry, leave the rest to me."

As Munn spoke, he had already taken out his monocular and began to observe the target in the distance.

Through the confession of the captured mage, Munn knew that there were many alchemical items in the Faithless organization.

Although these alchemical items were not of high grade, it was still necessary to make adequate preparations.

After carefully observing for a while, Munn found that apart from a small amount of black fluctuations on the Faithless banner on the deck, there were no obvious abnormalities around the sailboat.

Stuffing Bungbung into his arms, Munn quickly put on his invisibility cloak and slowly approached the sailboat.
