Chapter 78 - Chapter 78: Banning Magic and Containing the Moon-crazy Beast

The wind in the Forbidden Forest gently brushed by.

Feeling the process of the Shield Charm breaking.

Lucien still picked up the Unicorn horn.

Looking at the short horn in his hand, like a work of art made of white jade.

Can it dispel magic?

It's practically a bug in this world.

Hmm, let's test it again.

Lucien casually transformed a small pebble on the ground into an exquisite cup and summoned it to his hand.

As the Unicorn horn was about to touch the cup.

The cup instantly reverted into a pebble.

Lucien raised an eyebrow, it can even break Transfiguration.

The distance is probably about one centimeter from the surface of the horn, where this anti-magic effect occurs.

If it could be processed into a weapon…

Made into a bullet, the effect, tsk tsk.

Ignoring magical defenses, directly shooting into the target's body.

Hmm, if truth serum could be added to the bullet for an explosive effect.

Or incorporate some poison.

Making defensive gear like shields or thin armor might also work, but that would require quite a large quantity.

"System, how long is the Unicorn's horn replacement cycle?"

[A Unicorn in its growth period replaces its horns once every six months]

Normal, but in that case, the quantity is indeed a bit small.

Lucien mused that he wasn't some kind of devil, he wouldn't intentionally saw off Lumina's horns.

Besides, he might not even be able to saw through it.

If he waited for natural shedding, there would still be four horns a year.

For armor, the volume might not be enough.

Hmm, no need, what he wanted was the Unicorn horn's inherent anti-magic ability. If a thin layer of Unicorn horn or powder also had this effect.

Then a smaller quantity wouldn't matter.

Made into the surface of protective gear, or refined into an interlayer, as long as the outer shell's thickness is within one centimeter.

Ah, there's a small problem though.

Lucien looked at the Unicorn horn, then at his wand.

Anti-magic, then how could he process it with magic?

And since even Transfiguration would be broken, the tools created wouldn't be usable either.

Uh, does he have to get some cutting machines or something from the Muggle world?

He also didn't know the hardness of the Unicorn horn yet.

If it can't be processed, then how would he use it? This small horn isn't sharp, it can't even be considered a small dagger.

And for a Wizard to act as a close-quarters assassin, isn't that a bit strange?

In that case, it would be more convenient to just let Glimmer flash behind the enemy and directly ram them.

Lucien couldn't help but feel a headache. It was like he had found a treasure chest, but had no key to open it.

Prying it open by force might not even work.

Just as he was about to subconsciously stuff the Unicorn horn into his Undetectable Extension Charm pocket, Lucien's hand froze.

This thing wouldn't even break the Undetectable Extension Charm, would it? What kind of impact would that have? Would the items in the space directly disappear or explode out?

Not only could he not put it into an Undetectable Extension Charm pocket, but even carrying it on him was problematic.

What if he accidentally carried the Unicorn horn into those Undetectable Extension Charm spaces, what would he encounter then?

"System, can the shed Unicorn horn be put into the system space?"

"You always said before that only items produced by the system could be stored. Isn't the Unicorn produced by you? So the horns that fall off it should also be fine, right?"

[...]

[Host is right]

In an instant, the Unicorn horn in Lucien's hand disappeared, already stored in the system space.

Looking at the very lonely short horn on Glimmer's head, Lucien instructed:

"Next time your head feels itchy, pay attention to whether a horn has fallen off again."

"If it falls, remember to pick it up and take it with you. Hmm, I have a use for it."

"Okay, Master. Oh, right, what about the scales I shed?"

Lucien didn't hesitate, directly replying:

"Keep those too."

Although experiments showed that the Unicorn horn's anti-magic effect was far stronger than the scales.

However, the quantity of scales was much greater. Looking at Lumina, which was almost the size of a horse.

Who knew how many scales would shed from its body.

Even if it wasn't convenient to process with magic, simply stringing them into a thin armor or inlaying them into a shield would be enough.

It could still block most conventional magic.

Anyway, it was better than taking spells head-on with his bare body.

"Alright, let's go find the Mooncalf now."

...

Inside a dark cave.

A soft glow emanated from the tip of Lucien's wand.

Several pale gray Mooncalf, with two round eyes bulging on their heads, ran up to him, dancing around Lucien and Glimmer.

"Glimmer, help me ask if they are willing to come with me?"

Glimmer heard this and began to communicate with these Mooncalf.

But it took some effort.

Because Mooncalf are not highly intelligent magical creatures, explaining things to them still presented some obstacles.

"Master, their general meaning is that they need food, a cave, moonlight, and also to be able to dance."

Lucien nodded. Translating that, wasn't it just room and board, plus entertainment?

Moonlight wasn't a problem either; Newt's letter had already explained how to create those conditions.

Hmm, on the night of the full moon, he could also let them out.

To be honest, the Mooncalf's dances under the moonlight were quite interesting too.

When Glimmer relayed Lucien's promised conditions again, the Mooncalf danced even more enthusiastically.

Lucien was not at all surprised by the smooth adoption process.

With Lumina's innate animal affinity, plus the conditions he could provide, it was perfectly normal for magical creatures to line up and follow him.

Taking out a white gourd, Lucien first collected these Mooncalf inside.

Then he himself entered the gourd, letting Lumina help watch over them.

Inside the gourd space.

Lucien waved his wand, and a cave gradually grew out of the barren land.

Then, following Newt's guidance, he used Alchemy to create a miniature moon lamp.

He enlarged the moon lamp and made it float in the air.

Soft moonlight gently sprinkled down.

The Mooncalf immediately poked their heads out of the cave, one after another, running into the moonlight.

Bathing in these rays, they were initially a bit confused.

But after one Mooncalf took the lead and started dancing, the others quickly followed suit.

Lucien watched this scene and felt a sense of accomplishment and soothing relaxation.

It was like he had opened a ranch, or managed a small zoo.

Now these Mooncalf were the first residents.

Hmm, this was, after all, just a single space.

If he were to raise more, it would be best to choose magical creatures with similar habits to the Mooncalf, and equally gentle ones.

Lucien left the gourd space.

Next, he still needed to solve the food source problem.

Fortunately, the Forbidden Forest was rich in resources, and Glimmer could also collect some while here.

Lucien put away the white gourd and walked out of the cave.

"Glimmer, let's go, let's visit Aragog and them again."]}
