A magical journey that begins at Hogwarts

Apparition requires 800 mana points, while Guardian Charm only requires 200, indicating that it is not too difficult and there is no need to spend 200 mana points.

Having figured this out, Aaron shook his head and simply turned his attention to the blank product list.

I gritted my teeth and started refreshing.

One magic point is used at a time, which determines whether to refresh a single item, a single type of item, or all items.

Undoubtedly, refreshing once is the least cost-effective option, but he had already spent nearly three thousand magic points tonight, so refreshing once or twice wouldn't hurt.

First, Aaron replaced the Levitation Charm, which was even more obtrusive than the blank spaces.

After inserting a magic point, a new magic-related item appeared on the screen.

@Dragon Language (100 Magic Points. As the name suggests, this is the language of dragons. After learning it, you can communicate with dragons.)

After reading the introduction, Aaron turned his head to look at Abe, who was lying on the bed, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

While this skill might seem useless, it does have some practical use.

After all, he only has one dragon, and being able to speak dragon language can greatly improve his understanding with Abe, making their future cooperation much more efficient.

You could say it's useful, but it's also really not very useful.

Although Abe was a bit mischievous, he was 100% loyal to him. Although he couldn't understand Abe's words, they didn't need to communicate; they understood each other with just a glance.

But he was also reluctant to give up just like that.

This skill allows it to better understand Abe's needs and better take care of its emotions.

"Sigh! It's tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away!" Aaron sighed. "System, isn't this dragon language too expensive?"

If you could offer a slightly lower price, I might place an order.

"Dragon language is an extremely rare, obscure, and difficult language. In the eyes of those dragon tamers, it is a priceless treasure, enough to make them pay any price."

The host only needs one hundred magic points to learn this foreign language, which is definitely a huge advantage.

Aaron: ......

Am I being ungrateful?

"But this foreign language is really not very useful to me; it's the kind of language that's neither here nor there."

"Appearance, this is purely appearance," the system said righteously. "In the magical world, every skill has its special uses."

Most skills are interconnected; for example, a wizard who knows the Levitation spell will find it easier to learn Flight magic, and a wizard who knows the Armor spell will find it easier to learn its advanced spell, Super Armor.

Aaron was stunned for a moment. This explanation made perfect sense; the logic was flawless.

But he couldn't think of any other uses for the dragon language, and communication wasn't about control. What if he encountered a violent and dangerous fire dragon, like the Hungarian Tree Peak Dragon?

Even if you beg it not to kill you, it might not give you any face. At most, it will try to control the heat when using dragon breath so that you don't die too painfully.

"So, besides communication, what other benefits does this foreign language offer?"

I understand that everything in the online store is a one-off transaction with no after-sales service and no returns.

But since it appeared in the product list, the system has an obligation to explain it clearly to me, the host!

One hundred magic points is no small amount; if I don't sign in at Hogwarts, I'll have to save up for an entire vacation to accumulate that many.

The system paused slightly before explaining, "This is a one-time exception; there will be no next time."

This is also to explain to the host the fairness and rationality of the system store. Any further questions will require a consultation fee of one magic point.

"Of course, that's to be expected," Aaron said seriously, but inwardly he was thinking, "What a shrewd businessman, an absolute shrewd businessman."

"No business is without its tricks; they have absolutely no respect for consumers. Thumbs down."

"The Guardian Charm can summon a Guardian, but the vast majority of Guardians are ordinary animals. Only a very few wizards can summon magical creatures as Guardians."

It is conceivable that the power of a special guardian deity would be even greater.

If the host learns dragon language, then they will have the power to summon the guardian dragon.

Aaron couldn't help but gasp; he admitted he was somewhat tempted.

Dragon guardians! Just thinking about it is so cool.

"And then there are the Animagus," the system continued. "A wizard's Animagus is related to their personality, and different personalities correspond to different animals."

But those are all ordinary animals. If they were to transform into magical creatures, there would be enormous risks. They might never be able to turn back into humans, and their rational consciousness would gradually be replaced by wildness.

However, once the host learns dragon language, their Animagus will become a risk-free dragon, capable of flight, using dragon breath, and possessing powerful defense and attack capabilities.

Hearing this, Aaron's eyes shone even brighter, but he was still somewhat puzzled.

"Isn't everyone's Animagus only one type?"

If I don't learn dragon language, will my Animagus form be fixed?

"This system needs to be corrected; it's based on a flawed concept."

Transfiguration is a profound form of magic, not a single spell.

A master potion maker cannot concoct a potion without a recipe, and a master of transmutation may not understand all the secrets of this magic.

In addition, Animagus is exceptionally difficult to learn and carries considerable risk. It is already quite difficult for an average wizard to master one type of Animagus, let alone have time to study another.

Even if research is conducted, without the corresponding race's language, it's difficult to experimentally create a second Animagus, and over time, this will lead to a misconception.

"I see," Aaron murmured. He knew he had to keep the magic that could turn him into a dragon hidden and only use it as a last resort, otherwise it would cause unnecessary trouble.

"In addition to these, there are other benefits."

Dragons are not as hostile towards wizards who have learned dragon language; at least they won't start a killing spree on sight.

"No need for explanation, just buy it," Aaron said magnanimously, having accepted this series of obscure knowledge and mastered this profound language.

Chapter 103 Talent Determines the Number of Tutoring Classes

The next day, early in the morning.

The alarm clock rang precisely at six o'clock, and Aaron groggily opened his eyes.

After spending a school year at Hogwarts, his biological clock hadn't changed much, and even during holidays he wouldn't feel like sleeping in any longer.

After getting dressed and washing up, Aaron lifted Abe off the bed.

Looking at the dragon cub that was still dozing off, he made a muffled sound, but to him it was perfectly clear, no different from normal speech.

The next moment, Abe opened his eyes and yawned.

Aaron's lips twitched. Suddenly, he felt that the dragon language didn't smell so good anymore. He clearly said "Get up," but the little guy could hear it as "Dinner's ready."

More than half an hour later, he brought Abe, who had changed his luggage, to the restaurant.

Genes placed a standard breakfast in front of Aaron, then gave Abe a meaningful smile and took a red apple out of his pocket. "This is yours, eat it sparingly."

Abe, holding the apple, stared longingly at the bacon, eggs, bread, and sausage on Aaron's plate, and couldn't help but drool.

"You need to lose weight. From now on, you'll only have one apple for breakfast."

Abe let out a "woo" and turned the dragon's face away.

"It says you're a bad person," Aaron translated, half-laughing and half-crying. "Dragons have big appetites, so you're certainly being a bit heartless."

"Young master, you don't need to plead for it."

I fed it for two months last year, so I know its appetite all too well.

Let alone one apple, even if I brought a whole box of apples, it still wouldn't be enough to fill its stomach.

Compared to before, this breakfast is a bit meager, but it won't leave you hungry.

Abe looked at Aaron with a pitiful expression, then fiercely extended his dragon claw at Genes.

"It said the situation had changed and asked me to make the decision for it."

Abe has grown a lot, so his appetite has naturally increased. You're abusing a baby dragon."

Genes raised an eyebrow, asking with some surprise and uncertainty, "Young Master, you... can understand what it's saying?"

"Hmm...I guess so!"

"I accidentally learned a foreign language in the restricted area of ​​Hogwarts." Aaron made up a reason without trying to hide his ability.

On the one hand, Genes was someone he had watched grow up and was the elder he trusted most.

On the other hand, the vacation lasted for more than two months, and Genes took care of all his food, clothing, and accommodation. In addition, he also had to serve as his close combat instructor. They saw each other every day, so it was impossible to keep it a secret for long.

"Dragon language?" Genes became interested, but quickly looked at Aaron with a skeptical gaze.

In the magical world, there are indeed some exceptionally gifted wizards who can communicate with certain animals, but that's all innate; it's simply impossible to learn an animal's language on one's own.

Not to mention that this knowledge was acquired at Hogwarts; magic schools never take responsibility for such things.

"Young Master, if you don't want to tell the truth, you don't have to, but there's no need to lie to me!"

"When did I lie to you?"

You know me; I've always been an honest child.

Genes smiled without saying a word, his eyes full of amusement.

Honesty? My God, please don't insult that word.

In all his decades of life, he had never encountered a child more difficult to deal with than his own young master; even he would have to admit defeat when it came to the skill of lying through one's teeth.

However, in a sense, this is not a bad thing. Aaron is the sole heir of the Gaius family, and he will inevitably have to deal with all sorts of people in the future. Being tactful is essential.

Aaron felt a little embarrassed by the gaze and gave an awkward laugh. "Okay, okay, it was my fault. I don't want to talk about it anymore, alright?"

"Young Master, you must understand that I have no interest in knowing your secrets, but I also hope that you will try your best not to cause me any worry."

"Okay!" Aaron pouted. "By the way, where are my parents?"

It's time for dinner, aren't they coming yet?

“Um…” Genes hesitated for a moment, then said with a wry smile, “The master and madam needed to catch a train, so they left around five o’clock.”

Furthermore, barring any unforeseen circumstances, you will only be able to contact them by letter before the start of the semester.

Aaron: ......

"I knew it.
