Chapter 86 Some Success

"Everyone says the world's thinnest books are American history and British cookbooks, and it turns out it's not entirely a joke!"

Looking at the six dishes on the table, apart from fish and chips, the rest were all French dishes. Li Chuan couldn't help but secretly complain to himself.

"Hmm, this tastes really quite good."

After tasting all six dishes, his eyes lit up.

To be honest, the food made by house-elves using cooking magic would definitely be top-tier cuisine in ordinary human society.

After all, a good chef needs extensive experience and exceptional talent in knife skills, heat control, and the handling of ingredients.

Cooking magic, however, can take these to the extreme through the power of magic. As long as you know the recipe, the food you make won't be too bad. If you put in a little more effort, it's easy to become a master.

Like Wanda, although she has tried very hard to learn how to cook, the taste is only so-so.

"Perhaps I can memorize more of the principles and knowledge of cooking magic, and then write it into a book and give it to Wanda when I get back."

Most sorcerers in the Marvel universe do not actually have their own source of magic, nor can they absorb external power to convert into magic. They basically borrow the power of dimensional demons to cast spells, and then slowly repay it.

The sorcerers of Kamar-Taj mostly borrow Vishanti, while their Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One, borrows from all over the place. However, the Ancient One is quite powerful; once she borrows something, she never returns it.

Wanda possesses the power of chaos, originating from the god of black magic, Sithon, and is one of the three strongest ancient divine powers.

Currently, because she hasn't been stimulated by the Mind Stone and hasn't fully awakened, she doesn't know how to use Chaos Magic. However, once she learns the corresponding magical principles, she is very likely to be able to cast corresponding spells using the power of Chaos.

This is not bad either. After being stimulated by the Mind Stone, Wanda, because she does not understand magic, can only rely on the power of chaos to violently output power, and she cannot control the power well.

However, if one can learn magical knowledge in advance and practice releasing chaotic power in the form of magic, then even if stimulated by the Mind Stone later, one can quickly master one's own power.

Crucially, this can greatly enhance Wanda's self-defense capabilities and culinary skills, while also satisfying her own appetite.

"Barry, go to Flourish and Blotts and buy one copy of every textbook from grades one to seven, as well as any other magic books that we don't have at home."

After lunch, Li Chuan took out a large handful of Galleons and handed them to Barry.

Tom Foley is not Hermione; he is just an ordinary wizard with some talent in herbalism. He wasn't very serious about school, and he didn't have that many spells and incantations memorized.

After his rebirth, Li Chuan had an excellent memory, almost able to remember everything he saw. In the six months that followed, while mastering all the magic Tom knew, he also had to try to memorize all the spells and magical knowledge that could be bought on the market.

Memorizing something doesn't mean you can learn it, but even after you leave this world, you can still learn it slowly.

Moreover, many magical principles are interconnected; the more you learn and the more you understand, the easier it is to quickly master new magic.

If the foundation is weak, even if he has the opportunity to obtain advanced spells later, it will be difficult for him to learn them.

Although Barry didn't understand why her master was doing this, as a loyal house-elf, she didn't ask. After taking the Galleon, she Apparated away from the room.

A moment later, she returned to the house with a pile of books, then disappeared again, only to reappear with more books.

She only stopped after repeating this seven or eight times.

With Tom's memories and a large collection of magic books, Li Chuan took the wand and went upstairs to his bedroom to begin his magic studies.

A month later, Li Chuan sat on the sofa, facing a broken glass, and chanted an incantation with focused concentration:

"Restored to its original condition!"

The cup, which had originally been broken into several pieces, miraculously reassembled itself under the influence of his incantation, as if time had reversed, as if it had never been broken at all.

"I've finally got a pretty good grasp of these basic spells!"

During those thirty days, aside from sleeping and going to the toilet, he spent almost all his time memorizing magic books and repeatedly practicing the most basic spells.

Starting with basic spells like Illumination, Levitation, and Unlocking, the course progresses to more challenging spells such as Repair, Cutting, and Transfiguration.

The shop is basically not doing business now, and the house-elf Barry takes care of the meals and housework.

The results were remarkable; he was able to cast most of the basic spells, especially those that Tom already knew from his memory.

However, some advanced and dangerous spells, such as Apparition, Oblivion Curse and False Memory Curse, which can only be learned by wizards over the age of seventeen, as well as more powerful curses, poison curses and black magic, etc.

He still hasn't been able to execute it successfully.

On the one hand, Tom Foley himself did not master many of the powerful spells in the magic books. He learned by reading the magic books on his own, without the guidance of memorizing them, which greatly reduced his learning efficiency.

On the other hand, these spells are inherently profound, and even with Tom Foley's memories, mastering them would be difficult.

However, he also has his own plans for this.

Magic, ninjutsu, and martial arts all have one thing in common: if you only read books and learn theoretical knowledge without putting it into practice, the efficiency will naturally not be very high.

If you can practice more, your learning speed will definitely increase significantly.

"Barry, come here for a second!"

As Li Chuan called out, the house-elf Barry teleported directly from the first floor to his front.

"Master, what are your orders?"

"Pack up, we're going back to the main house to stay for a while."

Li Chuan gave the order.

The Foley family owned a large manor in the suburbs of London, but it was somewhat abandoned because Tom Foley was the only wizard left in his generation.

Tom, who runs a shop in Diagon Alley, already has a place to live and doesn't want to live in such a remote place. More importantly, seeing things there would remind him of his deceased relatives.

"Yes, my master!"

Barry waved her hands back and forth in the air, and the clothes in the closet, the magic book on the table, and some miscellaneous items all flew up under her control, then were neatly stacked and automatically packed into a large box.

Li Chuan picked up the suitcase and threw it into a cloth bag, then took Bali's little hand:

"Take me back to the main house!"

Barry used her fairy teleportation magic to instantly disappear from the room with him, and when they reappeared, they were in front of a luxurious manor in the south suburbs of London.

"Many things are difficult to do in Diagon Alley, but they shouldn't be a big problem here."
