Two Worlds: I studied at Hogwarts
#95 - Honorable Magician
Gord's Thorn always carries a lot of cargo, including goods such as white sugar, tea, or grain. When loading and unloading, in addition to the dockworkers, the crew members on board also supervise at all times.
Most of these crew members stand on the ship's rails or adjacent decks, responsible for counting or preventing the dockworkers from slacking off.
After observing and confirming his target, Munn immediately took out his wand from his wide cloak and quickly pointed it at seven nearby crew members.
Seven [Leg-Locking Curses].
According to Zalan's words, this was a show of strength and status before negotiating the price, as well as a greeting gift for Gord.
In fact, when Gord saw Zalan gesturing to Munn, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
He originally wanted to recruit a magician, but after seeing Munn's age, he determined that Munn did not meet his requirements.
As the most famous captain in the nearby port, Gord had been to another continent and had seen several mysterious magicians.
Those magicians who possessed extraordinary power were mostly over thirty years old.
And children as old as Munn were almost all apprentices following magicians.
The power they possessed was not much different from ordinary people.
What Gord wanted to recruit was not an apprentice, but a real magician.
"What kind of test are you going to do?"
Gord had known Zalan for a long time, and he knew very well that this old ranger would not lie about this matter.
So before Munn cast the spell, he still asked with some apprehension.
It was just that before Zalan could answer, the crew members next to him shouted.
"Oh, heavens!"
"Mom! My leg!"
"What's going on!?"
Thump!
After the legs of the seven crew members were locked, they each let out different screams.
One of them even fell into the sea due to excessive nervousness.
"Should we save him?"
Seeing someone fall into the sea, Munn subconsciously said.
"No need, for the crew, having their legs locked doesn't prevent them from swimming."
Zalan chuckled and explained, then looked at the captain who had no idea what had happened.
Gord's expression relaxed slightly after hearing the conversation between Munn and Zalan.
He called over the first mate from a distance and asked him to take people to check on the situation of the crew members.
At this time, several cursed crew members were already crying in fear, and some even left a puddle of water on the deck out of fear.
The crew member who fell into the water did not swim up by himself. The sudden change in his legs made this crew member forget that he could swim, causing him to choke on several mouthfuls of water.
"Respected magician, please forgive my rudeness just now. Gord Rogers sincerely welcomes you to inspect the Thorn, Seagull, and Goddess."
After witnessing Munn's true strength, Gord smiled, then took off his black tricorn hat from his head, placed it in front of his chest, and respectfully bowed ninety degrees to Munn.
"No need to be so polite ~"
Seeing the other party suddenly become so solemn, Munn subconsciously replied.
"You can actually have people bring them all up now, and I will undo the curse for them."
"Okay."
Gord agreed quickly. After a while, he had the first mate bring the seven cursed crew members to Munn.
"Captain, my legs are ruined..."
"Me too, this must be divine punishment!"
"No, it must be the sea monster!"
The crew members who had experienced the magic curse for the first time were all pale and crying in fear.
"Shut up, stop howling, I'll undo it for you right away."
Gord had just yelled at the crew members when Munn had already taken out his wand and cast the counter-spell to the [Leg-Locking Curse].
It was just as Gord turned his head that several crew members suddenly realized that their legs had recovered.
"Hey! It's okay!"
Casting spells twice in quick succession made Gord's heart race at this time.
He had seen three different magicians, but this was the first time he had seen someone who could cast and undo spells as quickly as Munn.
After thinking about Munn's age, this made Gord feel that he had definitely hit the jackpot this time.
"Okay, keep today's matter to yourselves, and tell those porters that we were just joking. If anyone reveals a word, then I'll use them to go deep-sea fishing!"
The crew members originally didn't understand what was going on, but now hearing Gord's reprimand, their faces became even paler.
"Nothing happened today."
"Yes, yes, we were just on duty."
For the crew members, boarding the ship was equivalent to handing over half of their lives.
Not to mention the frequent maritime disasters, they would also be punished for making mistakes.
And the most severe form of punishment was "deep-sea fishing."
Confining living crew members to specially made fishhooks and throwing them into the deep sea to attract various large fish.
This was almost a special hobby of many captains on ocean-going ships, but it was also the crew's nightmare.
"Okay, go back to work!"
Munn didn't understand the jargon of these ocean-going sailors, but he could see that Gord didn't want more people to know the identity of the magician.
"Magician, I originally promised to reserve eighty places for you, and I guarantee I can definitely do it. If it's not enough, I can kick some people off the ship."
After Gord asked the first mate to deal with the crew's affairs, he returned to a respectful attitude when facing Munn.
Munn did not respond, but looked at Zalan next to him.
The two had already agreed that Munn would only be responsible for intimidation, and Zalan would handle the specifics.
"Gord, eighty places are enough, but I have some conditions."
After seeing Gord's reaction, Zalan knew that he could definitely get more benefits this time.
"Our people must be concentrated together, preferably in separate rooms, and I want a chart of the Vena Islands."
After hearing Zalan's request, Gord only pondered for a moment before immediately agreeing.
"There is no problem concentrating together. The second floor of the Thorn's cabin is enough to accommodate eighty people. As for the chart, I will have someone copy one, and it will be given to you after you board the ship."
Hearing that Gord could agree so quickly, Zalan suddenly regretted it.
He knew he was definitely going to get less.
Just as Zalan was about to speak again, Munn interrupted him.
"If you have a ready-made chart, you can bring it first, there is no need to copy it."
After hearing Munn's instructions, Gord was only stunned for a moment, and then immediately had someone bring a yellow-brown scroll.
"This chart contains hundreds of small islands, large and small, on the Vena Islands. It not only marks important ports and cities, but even has population figures."
After the chart was opened, Munn and Zalan both looked at it carefully.
Munn didn't understand the chart very well, he just took a general look.
After Zalan confirmed that it was correct, he directly used the newly learned [Duplication Spell].
In just the time it took to breathe, an identical chart appeared in Munn's hand.
"This is your original chart, please keep it safe."
"This is ours."
After handing the two charts to Gord and Zalan respectively, Munn stood aside again.
"This... This, magician, if you don't mind, can we provide you with an exclusive room?
