Chapter 116: Gathering in Chinatown (First Update)
Chapter 116: Gathering in Chinatown (First Update)
However, these were just Jerry's judgments based on the current situation. The truth was hard to say, after all, he hadn't truly witnessed Morgana's power firsthand.
Judging solely from her performance in the movies wasn't enough to draw a definitive conclusion.
Perhaps the strength of this historically strongest dark wizard was far greater than he had estimated.
In any case, it was best not to release her for now.
Actually, aside from the immortal techniques, Jerry was also very interested in another form of magic in the world of The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
That was—Sealing Magic!
Morgana and other top-tier wizards of this world had been sealed within a Matryoshka Doll for over two thousand years, unable to escape on their own.
This clearly indicated that the Sealing Magic was extremely powerful.
If he learned this magic, then when he returned to the Harry Potter world, he could directly seal Voldemort's fragmented soul.
Voldemort's Horcruxes needed to be completely destroyed to kill his fragmented soul. Even a powerful figure like Dumbledore was helpless against it.
But it didn't matter if he couldn't kill it; sealing his fragmented soul in a jar for a few thousand years would be just as effective!
In the future, if he encountered any beings that couldn't be killed, he would seal them and collect them together. One day, he could find an uninhabited planet and throw them all down, letting them suffer inside.
While Jerry was fantasizing about which magic to focus on learning and how to apply it, Neurowizard and his future apprentice Dave finally reached an agreement.
In the end, Dave succumbed to Neurowizard's "threats and inducements" and agreed to help him find the Hand of Death that had been lost years ago.
Now, the two were discussing whether to ride the Iron Bird or go down to find the old car Neurowizard had parked in the parking lot ten years ago.
The Iron Bird was faster, but it was too conspicuous and could easily be spotted by ordinary people, as well as Horvath.
Driving a car was more discreet, but it wasn't fast enough, and Horvath was also searching for the Hand of Death. If he found it first, it would be troublesome.
"If needed, I think I can accompany you!"
At this moment, Jerry took a step forward.
"We have an invisibility charm at Hogwarts School that can solve the problem of being easily spotted!"
Neurowizard's eyes lit up, but then he became somewhat serious.
"Are you sure you want to come with us, Wizard Jerry?"
Jerry shrugged.
"I don't want the terrifying Dark Wizard Morgana to resurrect and destroy this beautiful world!"
"Then, thank you!"
Neurowizard hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing.
They had already spent too much time on the rooftop, and Horvath might have already found the Hand of Death. They needed to move faster.
Riding the Iron Bird to search in the air would definitely save time compared to driving.
If not for the fact that his magic could only make small, non-living objects invisible and couldn't affect large volumes or living beings, he wouldn't have wanted a young wizard to follow them on this dangerous mission.
Neurowizard placed his hand on the Iron Bird's decoration at the edge of the rooftop, and magic flowed into it. The Iron Bird instantly came to life, flapping its wings and standing up, walking obediently to the three of them.
They climbed onto the Iron Bird's back one by one, and Jerry waved his wand, casting a disguise charm on the three of them and the Iron Bird.
"My pigeon has located the position of the Hand of Death in the city center!"
Balthazar, standing on the Iron Bird, sensed the location of the pigeon he had just released. He then ordered the Iron Bird to take off and quickly fly toward the city center.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the antique shop where Dave had once met Neurowizard,
King of the Magic Worms, Horvath, began to cast a time-reversal spell with his Staff, based on the information Dave had provided.
Under the spell's influence, a virtual image of what had happened at the antique shop's entrance ten years ago appeared before his eyes.
A young boy, terrified, rushed out of the antique shop and threw the Matryoshka Doll far onto the street. Soon after, an elegantly dressed elderly Chinese woman picked up the doll.
"Chinatown!"
Having identified the person who took the doll, Horvath got back into the car he had transfigured and sped toward Chinatown in Manhattan.
Soon, guided by the spell, he arrived at the bustling Chinatown, which was currently celebrating the Lantern Festival.
The entire Chinatown was filled with people in traditional Chinese attire and various Chinese performances, the most prominent of which was the dragon dance in the center of the street.
"Oh no, it's them!"
Seeing Dave and Jerry standing downstairs from a distance, Horvath immediately realized he was too late, and Balthazar had already found the Hand of Death.
However, Horvath was not about to give up. He immediately cast his most skilled illusion transfiguration charm, transforming himself into a beautiful woman.
He then carefully squeezed through the crowd, circled around to the back of the building, and quietly slipped inside.
On the street in front of the building, Jerry and Dave were watching the dragon dance.
The Iron Bird was very fast, so it didn't take them long to reach the Chinatown Balthazar had pinpointed.
For safety, Balthazar had Jerry and Dave wait below while he went up to investigate. If he could get the Hand of Death directly, he would leave immediately. If Horvath had beaten him to it, waiting below would be safer for the two of them.
"Dave, can I see your Dragon Ring?"
Watching Dave, who was captivated by the dragon dance, Jerry asked curiously.
Dave didn't mind and casually slipped off the Dragon Ring and handed it to Jerry, then returned to watching the performance.
Putting the Dragon Ring on, Jerry immediately felt a sensation similar to using a wand, and he even thought that, perhaps because it was Merlin's ring, the feeling was much better than his own wand.
He believed that if he used the Dragon Ring alone without his wand, the power of his spells might be even greater than before.
After confirming that the Dragon Ring could indeed replace his wand, Jerry returned it to Dave without any ulterior motives.
In his view, the difference between the Dragon Ring and an ordinary mage ring was like that between an old wand and a regular wand.
While the Dragon Ring did enhance magic more, the ultimate power still depended on the mage's own strength. If a mage wasn't strong enough, the Dragon Ring or an old wand would be of little use.
Currently, he was more interested in the different magic knowledge of this world, so he hadn't considered taking the Dragon Ring for himself.
For now, using an ordinary mage ring was enough!
Once he had learned enough about the magic in this world, he would reconsider the Dragon Ring.
