Two Worlds: I studied at Hogwarts

When Zalan announced his intention to make traps, Brad originally wanted to help, but Mu'en refused.

"Brad, listen to me. Now that you've left the monastery, don't go back. It's too dangerous for you there."

"I know, that's why I want to stay and help you."

Brad actually really hoped to be of assistance, especially to see Mu'en cast magic again.

Last time, he was scared silly by the sudden appearance of the [Night Owl] and didn't know what happened in between.

"This [Night Owl] is completely different from the last one. The other party is likely prepared. Also, although you've run away from the monastery, your family might suffer."

Mu'en was actually very grateful that Brad came to warn him. He had also fully considered how to deal with the [Night Owl].

Now that Brad had secretly run away from the monastery, it would definitely arouse the other party's suspicion.

If the other party found Brad's parents according to the address, Mu'en would never forgive himself.

Fortunately, Brad listened to Mu'en this time. He thought for a moment and made a decision.

"Okay, then I'll go home now and have my parents hide."

"No!"

After Mu'en denied Brad's arrangement, he looked at Zalan, who was making traps not far away.

Now, Zalan was the only one who could contact ships, and Mu'en had to get his consent.

Seeing Zalan nod, Mu'en smiled and looked at Brad again.

"Go home, bring your parents, and leave immediately. Get to my uncle Neil's house as fast as possible, and then we'll take a ship in seven days!"

"Leave? Has the war reached Xilin?"

Having had an experience with the army last time, Brad also paid attention to the recent war trends.

"Not yet, but the situation is not good, and Xilin is too close to the front line. We need to go to the Vena Islands to take temporary shelter."

Brad saw that Mu'en's attitude was very serious, and he agreed without any hesitation this time.

"Okay, I didn't want to be a servant for others anyway."

Brad said and hurried to run out. At this time, Zalan reminded him.

"Monk kid, remember! Don't say anything when you get to Neil's house."

Brad turned his head and glanced at Zalan curiously, then saw Mu'en also nodding, agreed, and ran away.

......

"I didn't let your uncle know about this. You won't blame me, will you?"

After Brad left, Zalan had just finished making a simple trap. He was now looking at Mu'en, who was digging a hole beside him.

"No."

Mu'en slightly blew on his hands, which were blistered from rubbing, and then continued.

"If Uncle Neil knew, he would definitely stay with me in Hazelwood Forest, and even protect me all the time. This is something I cannot accept."

Zalan was a little surprised to hear Mu'en say these words calmly.

He spat out the sweet grass root in his mouth and continued.

"I didn't expect you to realize this."

"I should have realized it long ago, shouldn't I?"

The change in Mu'en did not happen overnight.

The first time he encountered the [Night Owl], he was very flustered throughout the entire process because he had no experience.

Later, after rigorous spell training, Mu'en was able to survive when the ogre appeared.

Now, the [Night Owl] found Xilin based on the clues Mu'en left behind, which made him realize the mistakes he made the first time.

And now, not only himself, but Brad and his parents, Uncle Neil's family, and even Zalan, are all paying the price for that incident.

This is what caused Mu'en to change like this today.

In fact, when Mu'en was making traps, he had been reflecting on his shortcomings.

Now he is very clear that once Neil comes, he will definitely protect him without hesitation.

And this time the [Night Owl]'s target is himself, and Neil will become a stumbling block that the other party must deal with.

"I really don't know what Neil would think if he knew you had become like this!"

Zalan shook his head and smiled. When he first moved to Neil's house, the two of them often argued about whether or not to protect Mu'en too much.

Now it seems that if you want to change a person, arguing is not as effective as a memorable event.

After Zalan figured this out, he picked up a shovel and walked into the wooden house to start making traps.

......

York Farm is very large, covering nearly a thousand acres, and Hazelwood Forest is only one-tenth of it.

Mu'en and Zalan spent the afternoon making fifty-three small traps.

But this only surrounded the area around the wooden house.

Because they didn't know the progress of the [Night Owl]'s search, the two took turns on guard at night, trying to conserve their energy.

By the morning of the next day, there were more than thirty traps around the wooden house.

Just as the two were preparing to rest, Neil came again.

This time, Zalan saw him from a distance, and then walked out of the trap range in a roundabout way before stopping Neil outside.

"Where's Mu'en?"

Neil came up and first cared about his nephew.

"You know, he's always very tired after practicing those things. I let him rest in the house for a while."

Hearing Zalan's explanation, Neil didn't suspect too much.

Since he stopped arguing with Zalan about Mu'en's training methods, Neil could only let his nephew follow the war maniac in front of him for training.

Some time ago, he often came to deliver food to the two of them, knowing that Mu'en would be very tired after practicing magic.

"Okay, I came to tell you that Brad has moved into the house, and I have also arranged for Hall and the others to patrol the alley."

"Well, that's very good."

Hearing Zalan's elder-like statement, Neil frowned and continued.

"Everyone should pack their things in the next two days, and then you will lead everyone to leave first."

Hearing Neil say this, Zalan pondered for a moment and agreed.

"Don't worry, I will send them to a safe place."

"Well, also, our militia has received a mission and will set off tonight."

"What mission? Could it be that the Mad King's people have attacked?"

Hearing Neil say this, Zalan was also curious.

Although he had predicted that the Menelaus Empire would launch a war in advance, he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"No, it should be that some bandits feel that the recent situation is not peaceful and want to take the opportunity to cause trouble. Yesterday, five shepherd families outside the city were all killed. We are responsible for patrolling and guarding there."

After hearing Neil's words, Zalan hesitated slightly, then nodded.

"Then be careful, bandits are also very powerful."

"Don't worry, our militia has three hundred people. Even a large-scale bandit will definitely win."

Zalan only slightly encouraged Neil's confidence, and then returned to the wooden house and told Mu'en about the situation.

"Why didn't you stop him? That's likely the [Night Owl]."

Mu'en became nervous immediately after hearing the news.

"No need to stop him! Five shepherd families are not the [Night Owl]'s upper limit for killing people in one night. Now that he has stopped, it means that there is no one he is looking for there, so he will definitely leave."

The person who knows you best is always your enemy.

Zalan is now preparing a careful trap, waiting for the [Night Owl] to take the bait.

And the sweet bait in the center of the trap is Mu'en.

"So, get ready. Since he went outside the city last night, the remaining area will become smaller and smaller."
