Chapter 121: Jerry's Unwelcome Request (Second Update)
Once Jerry understood the situation, he nodded and put away his wand.
"Dave, bring the Hand of Death over!"
Seeing Jerry put away his wand, Balthazar quickly called out to Dave, who was hiding behind the rooftop water tank.
Dave, seeing that things were now safe and Horvath was under control, ran over with the Hand of Death in hand.
"I never thought the part about wizards flying on brooms in fairy tales was real! I always thought it was just a fairy tale!"
As he handed the Hand of Death to Balthazar, Dave watched Jerry floating in the air on his flying broom and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Jerry smiled and replied, "This is a unique flying aid from Hogwarts School. It's not as impressive as the Iron Bird, though. It can't assist in combat. If you like, I can make one for you next time!"
As the heir to Merlin's Power, Dave's future was boundless. It was beneficial to build a good relationship with him while he was still relatively weak.
"Really!"
Dave's voice was filled with excitement.
Over the past ten years, the fact that Dave still wore the Dragon Ring showed that deep down, he still had a passion for magic and magical things.
"No, Balthazar, you won't succeed! I will come back, and Morgana will rule this world eventually. You have no chance!"
Under the influence of Balthazar's sealing magic, Horvath roared in anger, transforming into a swarm of magic insects and being sucked into the Hand of Death. An additional layer appeared on the outer shell of the Hand of Death.
"Dave, it's done. You can give me back the ring now. I'll keep my promise: help me find the Hand of Death, and I won't interfere with your life anymore."
Balthazar put away the Hand of Death and extended his hand to Dave.
Dave hesitated, touching the Dragon Ring on his finger. Finally, he looked at Balthazar as if making a decision and asked tentatively, "Can I learn magic?"
Balthazar's face lit up with a bright smile.
Jerry, however, shook his head. Dave had neither awakened Merlin's power nor studied magic, and bringing him along would be a burden.
But Balthazar insisted on taking him along to find the Hand of Death. His true goal was to let Dave experience the allure of magic firsthand, hoping to reignite his love for it.
Clearly, Balthazar's plan had worked.
"Thank you, Wizard Jerry. Without your help, we might not have been able to retrieve the Hand of Death so smoothly!"
After dealing with Dave, Balthazar turned to Jerry and expressed his gratitude earnestly.
Jerry put away his broom and waved his hand, "It's nothing. Stopping Morgana from destroying the world is every wizard's responsibility!"
But then he hesitated and continued, "Wizard Balthazar, I have a somewhat inappropriate request. Of course, if you think it's unsuitable, you can refuse me right away!"
"Ah, what is it? Just say it. As long as it doesn't go against my principles, I'll agree!"
Balthazar had a high regard for Jerry, a young wizard with impressive magical skills. He had defeated Sun Long and severely injured Horvath.
If it weren't for the Dragon Ring already confirming Dave as Merlin's heir, he would have almost thought Jerry was the true successor to Merlin.
After all, at such a young age, with such magical talent, it was hard to imagine anyone other than Merlin achieving such heights.
Regarding Jerry's request, he felt that as long as it didn't violate his principles, he wouldn't refuse.
Jerry sighed:
"Here's the thing, Hogwarts School has always been a single lineage, but not long after I started learning magic, my teacher passed away unexpectedly.
So, a lot of the magic I've learned since then has been self-taught, and without guidance, there are still many things I don't fully understand.
This time, I came to New York because my teacher once told me that there might be many magicians here. I wanted to come and see if I could further my magical studies!"
Hearing Jerry's story, Balthazar was both shocked and moved.
He never imagined that Jerry, at such a young age, could possess such magical prowess, mostly through self-study without systematic guidance.
What incredible magical talent this must be!
"Magician Jerry, if you don't mind, you can join Dave and me in learning magic. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!"
Balthazar didn't wait for Jerry to state his true request and immediately agreed.
As a magician who had lived for two thousand years, witnessing the development and changes of human history, Balthazar no longer harbored any sectarian prejudices.
His only goal now was to fulfill his teacher's final wish, find the owner of the Dragon Ring, and completely defeat Morgana to save his love.
With Jerry's magical potential, while he might not surpass Dave in the future, he would undoubtedly become a powerful magician on par with Balthazar himself.
Guiding Jerry to enhance his magical strength would be like cultivating a powerful ally, which would be extremely beneficial for the future battles against Morgana. How could he refuse?
Besides, Jerry had indeed helped them a great deal in retrieving the Hand of Death.
"Thank you, Magician Balthazar!"
Hearing Balthazar's response, Jerry's face lit up with a broad smile.
While he didn't think Balthazar would outright refuse his request, hearing such a straightforward acceptance still made him very happy.
With Balthazar's guidance and the presence of a powerful Sun Long in the box space, he was confident that his progress in learning the world's magic would not be slow.
"However, we need to find a place to train and study magic, somewhere hidden and less likely to be discovered by ordinary people!"
Balthazar said, looking at Jerry and Dave.
Jerry shook his head:
"I've only been in New York for a short time and am currently staying in a hotel, so..."
"I have an idea!"
Dave raised his hand and suggested:
"I have a large laboratory in an abandoned subway tunnel. My professor helped me secure it, and it's very secluded. Ordinary people rarely go there!"
"Excellent, let's go there then!"
Balthazar nodded and looked at Jerry.
"I think it's a great idea!"
Jerry didn't care where he studied magic, as long as he could learn.
With Balthazar's magic, the Iron Bird, which had been torn into pieces of paper, flew down again.
Jerry cast several disguise charms, and the three of them, along with the bird, became invisible and flew towards Dave's underground laboratory.
