#240 - Soul Shackles

The spoils obtained in this battle weren't just a magic robe.

There were also two bottles of magic potion, a spell-casting assistance ring, and five kinds of magic spells: [Blood Attraction Spell], [Piercing Spell], [Flying Blade Spell], [Shadow Flash Spell], [Hallucination Spell]

Of course, the court mage knew far more magic than just these, but the other spells overlapped with what Muen had seen before.

Most of them were combat-type spells, and Muen gave all the spells to Elder Xingmang, so he could add them to the school library.

One of the two bottles of magic potion was the antidote to control [Night Owls], and the other was a healing potion.

Muen took a look at the quality of the magic potion and found that it was not as good as the hemostatic potion he refined.

As for the spell-casting assistance ring, this time it was different from the ones previously seized from the Faithless.

In addition to its strange shape, the most obvious difference was that this ring would actively absorb the wearer's blood.

According to the court mage, the ring's blood-drinking could increase the power of the magic spell.

And the longer it was worn, the more blood it drank, the more it would understand the wearer's intentions, and the faster it could cast spells.

Muen didn't have any thoughts about this ring. Anyway, no matter how fast the court mage's magic was, it couldn't be faster than his.

"Great Wizard, do you have any other plans for the court mage?"

The three Great Wizards also obtained the confession copied by Muen. What they originally cared about most was why this group of wizards came to the island to steal.

But this wizard named Wulie Hansen didn't know very well either. He only knew that coming to Xingjin Island was all arranged by the Chief Archmage.

"Since this person doesn't know the inside story, then we can only detain him first, and then we still have to strengthen the island's defenses."

Some time ago, because the school was being built, all the wizards participated, and the defense of Xingdao was naturally somewhat neglected.

After this lesson, Muen also felt it was necessary to restore the previous patrol mechanism.

However, it was still somewhat unsafe to just detain the wizards.

Whether the magic they mastered has been forgotten or not, whether there will be curses or something, all of these need to be guarded against.

However, as soon as Muen raised such concerns, Great Wizard Xingmang stood up and made a guarantee.

"Great Priest, rest assured, there is a kind of wizard formation in the tribe called [Spirit Restriction Lock]. As long as it is engraved on the wizard's body, it can guarantee that the other party will not be able to cast any magic."

"Really? Just engraving a magic circle can turn a wizard into an ordinary person?"

Muen was still a little incredulous. He still had two Faithless tied up in the Scarlet Moon, and because he hadn't figured out how to deal with them, they had been detained on the ship.

"Great Priest, rest assured, there will be no problem. It was used in the tribe to punish wizards who made mistakes before."

Great Wizard Xingmang said, taking out the drawing method of the [Spirit Restriction Lock] wizard formation.

According to the records in this booklet, the [Spirit Restriction Lock] belongs to the oldest inheritance of tribal witchcraft.

To cast it, you must use star sand mixed with the juice of the Shadow Binding Vine, and then use the Soul Imprisoning Flower as a pen to engrave the formation pattern on the wizard's body.

As long as the engraving is successful, it can interfere with and block the connection between the wizard and the outside magical energy.

So that the wizard cannot call upon his own magic power, and all kinds of magic spells and spells cannot be cast.

This is like building an invisible wall between the wizard and magic, sealing their magical abilities in the body.

"Sealing magic, it's really rare. It seems that I can't underestimate the ancient magic of this world in the future."

Muen originally thought that the development of magic in this world was not very clever, but now it seems that they still have their own strengths.

"Okay, in addition to the court mage, there is also Lian Bailey, and later I will have someone send two prisoners over,

I will trouble the Great Wizard to cast the sealing magic."

Since there was a good way to solve the wizard prisoners, Muen didn't want to leave hidden dangers on the ship.

"Okay, I don't know how to arrange them after sealing.

"Let them repair the school. Even if they can't use magic and work a little slower, they should atone for their sins."

After arranging all the prisoners' affairs, Muen let everyone leave.

Those who should study should study, those who should build the school should build the school, those who should patrol should patrol, and those who should rest should rest.

After being busy all night, Muen was also very tired.

After resting well for a day, and then giving all the wizards a lesson on Transfiguration, and leaving a 10-inch homework assignment, Muen left Xingjin Island with Lang.

Three hours later, above Solman Island.

Muen and Lang rode their flying broomsticks and began to prepare to land.

"Great Priest, I think we can use flying broomsticks to go anywhere in the future."

Because Lang's excitement about the flying broomstick hadn't passed, when he heard that he was going to leave the island with the Great Priest to perform a mission, he relied on a duel to win this opportunity.

But Muen was already a little unbearable.

Riding a flying broomstick was originally a very easy thing. Not only could you enjoy the extreme speed of flying, but you could also see the scenery along the way.

But if it's in winter, and still flying at high altitude and extreme speed, it's a completely different situation.

It's too cold ~

But the speed of the flying broomstick is indeed fast. Originally, it took Muen a day to sail from Solman Island to Xingjin Island.

This time it only took three hours to come back.

This was because it was too cold in the sky, and Muen deliberately suppressed the speed.

"Using a flying broomstick is indeed faster on the archipelago, but if you want to go to the mainland or farther places, this will be a bit of torture for wizards."

Muen didn't tell the tribal wizards that there was magic that could perform long-distance transmission.

Whether it's a Portkey or [Apparition], it's much faster than a flying broomstick.

But there's no need to rush now, the flying broomstick is already enough.

While the two were still talking, the guards in the castle on the ground had already started shouting.

"Look, what is that in the sky!"

"That bird has such a big tail ~"

"No, that's not a bird, it's a person!"

Watching the two people in the sky getting closer and closer, the guards were so surprised that they forgot their duties.

"Can fly... flying wizard..."

But some were clever. After seeing the appearance of the leading wizard, they turned around and ran to the castle.

As soon as Muen landed on the square in front of the castle, Lynn Bailey had already been notified and walked out of the castle.

After seeing Muen, Lynn was surprised, and then quickly walked forward, raised her skirt and gave a half-squat bow.

"Mr. Scarlett, welcome back to Mairzu Castle. I welcome you on behalf of the Bailey family.

"Thank you, Miss Bailey, but can we go in and talk? Preferably with a cup of hot tea."

"Of course, please come in."

After drinking hot tea and exchanging pleasantries, Muen stated the reason for returning to Mairzu Castle this time.

"Thank you very much for Miss Bailey's letter. I am here this time to return the favor."

Muen said, taking out a gold watch from his pocket.

"This is..."

Seeing that there were still many servants around, Lynn Bailey waved her hand and asked them all to step back.

"Will...will he come back?"

Lynn Bailey's mood was very complicated now.

She originally just wanted to write a letter to inform Muen about the court mage, so that she could increase Muen's favor towards her.

But she didn't expect that her uncle would fall into the other party's hands.

Thinking about a month ago, the little wizard in front of her still needed the help of the Bailey Chamber of Commerce, but now he directly detained the person in charge of the Bailey family.

"Not for the time being. Mr. Lian Bailey has to be responsible for what he has done, but Little Lian will return by ship in a few days."

Hearing Muen's answer, Lynn Bailey covered her heart as if worried.

"Oh, I don't care about Little Lian. I don't know what price it will take to keep my uncle there forever."

Listening to Lynn Bailey's words, Muen frowned.

He had already guessed that the affairs of this family were very troublesome, but he didn't expect it to be so chaotic.

"I don't know how to answer this question either. Perhaps Mr. Lian really repents, and I might let him go."

After Muen finished speaking, a strange look flashed in Lynn Bailey's eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

Muen was not in a hurry. After taking another sip of tea, he opened his mouth and said.

"I don't know what Miss Bailey is talking about when she says Outer God Sect?"
