Two Worlds: I studied at Hogwarts

#205 - Devil's Child

With the temptation of wands and flying tools, the tribal wizards readily agreed to all of Moon's requests.

Of course, the three elder Great Wizards were thinking more long-term.

They understood that Moon's method of identifying young wizards was only temporary and highly dependent on the individual.

If Moon were not in the tribe, it would delay many things.

And the Spirit Tree, as the tribe's oldest method of identification, would surely ensure the tribe's wizarding heritage could continue as long as it could be successfully restored.

However, Moon was also the one who could save the Spirit Tree now, so the three Great Wizards' trust in Moon increased considerably.

Therefore, after visiting the Spirit Tree, Moon was dragged down the mountain by the tribal wizards to the Spirit Tree Tribe's residence.

After resting for a night, he was taken by the tribal wizards to visit the tribal treasury.

The treasury's location was very secretive, and the outer defenses were very tight, with fully armed tribal warriors patrolling almost every moment.

Although the treasury was a large cave, it was impossible to find the entrance from the outside.

The cave door was the same color as the mountain and had no gaps, and there were many mechanisms inside.

These were all designed and built by the Starry Tribe's people.

After passing through all the hidden mechanisms, Moon saw rows of neat wooden boxes.

Before Moon could ask, the Starry Great Wizard took the initiative to introduce them.

"These boxes outside are filled with the ores that the tribe usually collects, mainly moonstones and stardust,

as well as other metallic minerals."

Moonstone powder is a very important potion ingredient; it is usually used as a soothing agent.

Professor Snape once said that using swamp lilies with moonstone and other materials could create a potent antidote.

This stone comes in many colors: white, orange, yellow, light blue, with blue being the highest quality.

Moon had not learned about the name 'Stardust' at Hogwarts.

However, the tribal wizards had already developed many uses for it: constructing magic arrays, divination, sacrifices, and enhancing weapon quality.

"Further inside are the herbs. Because plants have a relatively short shelf life, only the herb production from the last three years is stored here."

Moon looked in the direction the Starry Great Wizard was pointing and saw hundreds of medicine cabinets densely arranged on both sides of the cave.

Most of them were ordinary herbs, such as insect ant grass, silver dais flowers, and sweet grass roots.

However, there were also the tribe's own secret herbs.

In addition to Selma flowers, there were also Mind-Calming Sunflowers, which could calm the mind, and Dream Demon Vines, which had a very strong hallucinogenic effect.

Because the latter two were more difficult to cultivate, the tribe had never sold them.

After the Great Wizard finished introducing them, Moon had people move all the Selma flowers away. These would be used by the wizards of the Spirit Tree Tribe to practice making potions, and the rest Moon would take back to Hogwarts.

As for the other herbs, Moon took a small portion of each.

At the same time, in exchange, he immediately wrote the blood-replenishing potion recipe for the Spirit Tree Great Wizard.

However, the Great Wizard felt that Moon had taken too little, and she stuffed a few more rare herbs into Moon's arms.

"High Priest, even if you take all of these to save the Spirit Tree, I wouldn't feel bad."

Seeing that the Spirit Tree Great Wizard wanted to stuff some more herbs, Moon quickly refused.

"Great Wizard Grandmother, that's enough."

Moon didn't know how to explain to the tribal wizards.

In this world, because the medicinal value of many magical herbs has not been discovered, and they have not been developed on a large scale by wizards, they are generally well preserved.

But in another world, the rarity and value of these herbs are much higher.

These materials that Moon obtained were unique, so their value would naturally be higher.

Of course, besides that, Moon didn't want to take too much because, with his current ability, he couldn't maximize the value of these herbs.

So the best way was naturally to temporarily store them in the tribal treasury.

Besides herbs and minerals, the largest area of the cave was occupied by various wizardry stone carvings.

These included more than a dozen types: wizardry spells, gestures, incantations, wizarding tool creation, wizarding array construction, wizarding medicine production, mineral identification and utilization, wizardry combat techniques, herb and plant cultivation, and so on.

Originally, the Great Wizards were worried about problems with the tribe's wizarding heritage, so they specially carved these on stones to preserve them.

"High Priest, now that you have arrived on Star Island, I think there is no need to preserve these stone carvings anymore."

The Sea Blue Great Wizard was very excited, especially after learning that Moon could save the tribe's wizarding heritage, he felt that these stone carvings no longer needed to exist.

"Let's keep them for now; perhaps these stone carvings will still be useful in the future."

Moon didn't plan to destroy the stone carvings. In his opinion, these were all good reference materials for learning ancient magic.

Moreover, in the future, if any young wizards awaken and need to learn ancient wizardry, these would be very good teaching materials.

However, after hearing his words, the tribal wizards all showed embarrassed expressions.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Seeing the tribal wizards' expressions, Moon asked curiously.

The tribal wizards looked at each other, and finally the Starry Great Wizard came forward to explain.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong, it's just that the tribal treasury has been targeted by foreign magicians."

"That's right, these devil spawn sneaked onto the island, wanting to know the secrets of tribal wizardry, but they were all beaten back by us."

Seeing the Starry Great Wizard speak up, the Sea Blue Great Wizard didn't hesitate anymore; he directly explained the whole story.

Before sending warriors to find the Snow Eagle Mountain Tribe, the tribal Great Wizards had actually sent people to the Northern Border to find other tribesmen.

However, in the end, the tribesmen didn't return, but a group of magicians wearing red robes arrived.

These magicians' goals were very clear: to obtain the wizarding heritage guarded by each tribe.

After several encounters, both sides suffered casualties.

The three major tribes had no choice but to concentrate their treasuries in the very center of the island and then guard them closely.

"Could it be the spellcasters and unbelievers on the Vena Archipelago?"

After hearing the Sea Blue Great Wizard's explanation, Moon subconsciously thought of Star Island's two closest neighbors.

"No, these magicians' attack methods are more sharp, and they know a lot about tribal wizardry. Many of our warriors and wizards have suffered from their poison."

Understanding the tribe's wizardry, then besides friends, there are only enemies.

And the tribal wizards living on Star Island is already equivalent to living in seclusion, and the biggest enemy is the Holy Church 300 years ago.

But now that so much time has passed, it is unlikely that such a conflict will occur between the two sides.

Moreover, according to the Holy Church's nature, if they wanted to obtain the heritage of tribal wizardry, they would definitely send a large army of clergy to the border, and would not sneak around.

After all, the other party is the top wizarding force in the current magical world.

"No matter who the other party is, anyway, this time with the High Priest's magical protection, we will definitely be able to eliminate the devil spawn on the island."

Lang, as the most warlike wizard on Star Island, had long wanted to eliminate the thieves who coveted the tribal wizarding heritage in one fell swoop.

"That's right, the High Priest's magic is definitely our trump card!"

"Yes, we must make the devil spawn suffer!"

Amidst the shouts of the young wizards, Moon also realized why the Sea Blue Great Wizard said yesterday that the blood-replenishing potion would save the tribesmen from dying.

It turned out that the tribe's biggest enemy now was this group of thieving magicians.

"Okay, since the other party is coveting it, then we will destroy all these stone carvings, and remember to block the news."

Moon was now the tribe's High Priest; since he knew that someone would covet his treasure, he would naturally find a way to chop off the claws reaching into his pocket.

"Yes, we also have to find a way to set traps to make these devil spawn have no return."

After hearing Moon's words, the Sea Blue Great Wizard immediately understood its meaning.

The other young wizards also echoed.

"Also, I will cast anti-theft magic on the tribal treasury to prevent outsiders from sneaking in."

After discussing how to protect the treasury with the Great Wizards, Moon returned to Star Island that day.

Tonight, he still needed Zalan to watch over him for three minutes to return to Hogwarts.

Time returned to three days ago, when Moon had just landed on Star Island.

A black crow landed on an abandoned stone fortress in the wilderness of Aurum Island.
