#47 - Wand Added Value

Inside the house, the adults were still arguing, while outside, Moon and Brad were listening quietly.

Since seeing the 【Night Owl】 knocked unconscious in the cave last night, Brad had figured out most of the situation.

"You're a spellcaster, aren't you! That 【Night Owl】 was defeated by your magic, right!"

Brad had completely forgotten the terror of the 【Night Owl】, he was now only concerned about the magical little wooden stick in Moon's hand.

"To be precise, I am a magician, of course, you can also say I am a spellcaster."

Moon was not admitted to the Federal Military Academy, so he didn't think of himself as an orthodox spellcaster.

However, people in the Federation call magicians spellcasters, which made it difficult for him to clearly define his identity.

"Moon, I never thought I would have a spellcaster friend, you're not..."

Brad's voice was still echoing in his ears, but Moon didn't hear a word.

Moon kept recalling the process of telling Neil the whole story.

He had never seen such a complex look in Neil's eyes.

Fear, hesitation, determination...

It was as if the name 【Night Owl】 should not appear in the Skalitte family's conversations, it could only be mentioned slightly after drinking.

The noise in the house ended quickly, and everyone began to prepare supplies according to the method just discussed.

"Brad, go back first, remember to keep yesterday's events a secret."

Hearing Neil's instructions, Brad nodded heavily.

He was very clear about the value of a 【Night Owl】, this was definitely not something a small stable servant could know.

After Brad left, Moon was called into the room where the meeting had just been held. The smell of tobacco had not yet dissipated, and the doors and windows were still tightly closed.

Huff—

Neil let out a long puff of smoke and turned to look at Moon.

"Moon, I need to know everything."

This was the first time Neil had spoken to Moon in an equal tone.

Even if Moon wanted to continue to hide it, he had to reveal all his secrets when he looked into those eyes.

"It happened on the night of my birthday, the Crimson Moon appeared that day, and then I arrived at..."

......

"Okay, although it's really unbelievable."

Neil exhaled another puff of white smoke, and his breathing gradually returned to normal.

What Moon had just said made the hand holding his pipe become very uncontrollable, and he failed to put the pipe in his mouth accurately several times.

"But even though things are bizarre, I believe you."

No one could understand the weight of these words more than Moon now.

For these words, even if Moon had stayed in a strange world for half a year, even if he needed to earn money alone or he would go hungry, even if he needed to live in a damp and cold bridge hole...

All of these things were no longer important after Neil said he believed him.

"Alright, child, wipe away your tears. Besides, you should know what the 【Night Owl】 represents."

Neil exhaled another heavy puff of smoke.

"I know you must have had a hard time these past few years, but I hope you can continue to hide your secret."

Neil's tone changed so quickly that Moon couldn't react.

He had just revealed so many secrets in order to prove that he was an adult and could help deal with some things.

"But..."

"No buts, you have to remember Moon. No matter what you have experienced, you are still only an eleven-year-old child, these things have nothing to do with you."

Knock knock knock~

Neil tapped the corner of the table with his pipe, his expression serious and earnest.

"Also, I will notify Zalan to move into the house for a period of time until we figure out what exactly is going on with the 【Night Owl】."

After Neil finished speaking, he left, leaving Moon alone in the smoky room.

Moon realized he had misunderstood.

Secrets, abilities, even magic.

None of these could make an adult treat an eleven-year-old child as an adult.

......

Neil's attitude was incomprehensible to Moon, but this incomprehension was quickly replaced by something else.

Moon discovered something very worth celebrating.

The new wand was indeed different.

Just now, in the kitchen's water tank, Moon, holding the wand, saw that the wizard bar above his head had changed significantly again.

In fact, when Hogwarts created the first wand, Moon's wizard bar had already exceeded half a bar.

Now, when he held the wand in his hand, the wizard bar had increased to three-quarters of a bar.

This was faintly about to catch up with Hermione's wizard bar length.

However, when he put down the wand, the wizard bar was still just over half its length.

The appearance of this difference can only indicate that the wand has temporarily increased Moon's magical strength.

This gave Moon a deeper understanding of the new wand in his hand.

The staff body is made of a magical weeping willow that has lived for countless years, and the core material is made of the golden horn of a unicorn.

Such a combination of wands, even if placed in Hogwarts, would definitely exceed the understanding of many people.

Of course, now that the wand was in his hand, it also gave Moon a greater sense of security.

Especially since Xilin might become more turbulent next.

......

That night, all the supplies purchased in the alley were gathered together.

The veterans adopted this most extreme way to distribute survival resources. Even though many people disagreed, they could not resist the violent execution of the thirty-three veterans.

Moon didn't care about these things. The only thing he was worried about now was being discovered about tonight's change.

He had to leave here for three minutes to go to Hogwarts.

But Neil had already prepared for it. He let Moon sleep in the same room as him, so that no matter what happened at night, no one would disturb him.

-----------------

That night, Moon returned to Hogwarts again. Everyone in the dormitory was sleeping peacefully, and the even breathing sounds were very uniform.

This peaceful environment made Moon not adapt for a while.

Until the sun rose in the morning, Moon, who had not closed his eyes all night, habitually got up early again.

The common room should have just been cleaned, and there was still dust floating in the air after sweeping the floor.

Moon sat down again in the position where he had made the wand. Now that the wand had just been made, Moon had already found the next thing to do.

Improving the ability to survive in war, this was the most simple and honest truth that a group of veterans told Moon.

In order to achieve this goal, Moon must improve his strength.

And the easiest way is to learn spells.

So after sitting down, Moon directly sorted out all the spells he now possessed.

Illumination Charm, Unlocking Charm, Softening Charm, Fire-Making Charm.

After writing them down, Moon found that these were all auxiliary spells related to life.

The Illumination Charm is used to see in the dark, the Unlocking Charm is used to solve the problem of not bringing a key, and the Softening Charm is used to soften hard objects.

The only spell that can cause damage is the Fire-Making Charm, but the damage caused by the Fire-Making Charm does not achieve the effect Moon wants.

Just like this time, if Moon hadn't happened to cast the Wand Summoning Spell, he, who only knew the Fire-Making Charm, would not have been able to avoid being harmed.

After all, burning hair would not cause much damage to the 【Night Owl】.

So now what Moon should do most is to learn spells that can quickly control the enemy or enhance self-protection.
