Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

It snowed just two days ago.

Andy: "..."

"I'm afraid you'll get cold hands." Andy said.

The little girl raised her hands and showed her gloves.

Andy's face changed.

Isabel quickly rolled up two snowballs and held them in her hands. She looked at Andy and said, "I'm going to throw them away!"

"Come on! Hurry up." said Andy.

Whoosh!

Andy seized the opportunity and used the Apparition technique the moment the snowball was about to hit him.

Snapped!

Andy appeared on the other side of the yard.

Whoosh!

Another snowball flew towards Andy.

Andy also did not rush to cast the spell, but cast Disapparation at the moment when the snowball was about to hit him.

"call--"

Andy exhaled.

It does feel a bit bad to perform Apparition continuously.

I checked my body and found no signs of being hit by a snowball.

Andy asked, "Isa, did the snowball fly over, or did it move with me?"

"It flew over!" Isabel said, pointing to the place where the snowball hit.

Andy turned around and his face suddenly lit up with joy.

"Success!"

"Next, I just need to practice casting spells to attack the target at the moment of appearing, and I can really use the phantom in battle." Andy said happily.

"And... your Apparition this time seemed a little faster than before," Isabel continued.

"Really?" Although it was a question, Andy didn't feel surprised at all.

After understanding the nature of Apparition, Andy immediately made adjustments to the spell.

"I want to go there" and "turn around" can both be done through imagination. As long as you practice repeatedly and become familiar with this way of thinking, you can improve your casting speed.

But when it comes to actually casting the spell, there are actually two more steps.

Feel your body becoming empty and moving effortlessly.

Nothingness and movement are the true process of Apparition.

Knowing this, it is actually very easy to increase the casting speed.

Mental suggestion.

Or it could be called fixed thinking.

Especially when Apparating over short distances, as long as his eyes see it and the idea of ​​Apparition comes into his mind, Andy will first do the third step.

Feeling of body becoming empty.

Because the eyes have already determined the target they want to move.

Chapter 300 Magic in History

Although Andy only made minor changes to the Apparition, the impact of this change on combat effectiveness cannot be ignored.

Rely on your eyes and use your subconscious mind to determine your target.

As soon as you realize you are Apparating, do the third step - feel yourself becoming non-existent.

Then... turn around and move calmly.

Although only one step was omitted, the improvement in casting speed was extremely obvious.

Isabel could see with her naked eyes that Andy's Apparition was much faster.

"Perhaps... even the step of turning around can be omitted."

Use your eyes to determine the target, use your body to complete the turn, and only take the last two steps mentally.

This method sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult to control the human mind. Especially for highly sophisticated displacement magic such as Apparition, it requires the caster to concentrate fully.

Any mistake may lead to the failure of the spell.

The main reason Andy was able to do this was [Magic: 7]. The five points of [Mind] and the four points of [Thinking] were also factors that could not be ignored.

And most importantly, Andy's mind and magic have completed the initial integration.

This fusion gave Andy the confidence to act recklessly and also allowed Andy to cast magic more easily.

It has to be said that the improved Patronus Charm benefited Andy a lot.

Whether it's the practice of fusion magic or the subtle changes to Apparition, the initial fusion of mind and magic is the basis for accomplishing it all.

——Andy’s mind can control magic more easily.

Andy was in such a good mood that even his appetite for dinner improved a lot.

……

Time goes by and Christmas is coming.

In addition to preparing gifts for his relatives, friends and professors, Andy did not forget to prepare one for Mrs. Bagshot.

Lonely elderly people always need to be cared for.

That morning, Andy took some gifts and set out to visit Mrs. Bagshot again.

Deng Deng Deng!

creak-

The old wooden door was pushed open, and Mrs. Bagshot glanced at Andy, "Little Andy...you're here!"

"Good morning, ma'am." Andy said politely.

Mrs. Bagshot stepped aside and said, "Please come in! In these years, you are the only one who can come to see me often."

In fact, Andy and Mrs. Bagshot's relationship was not necessarily very close. With her wisdom, she might not be able to see that Andy actually had ulterior motives in approaching her.

But no matter what Andy's purpose is, he can chat with the old lady for a while and visit her often. I think Mrs. Bagshot would also be willing to chat with Andy.

Anyway, as long as Mrs. Bagshot didn't chase him away, Andy could shamelessly keep visiting her.

Mrs. Bagshot's house was just as it had been the year before, old, damp, musty, and with a chill that even the fire in the grate could not dispel.

The house, like Mrs. Bagshot, was old and ready to be buried.

"sit down!"

Mrs. Bagshot walked shakily to the kitchen, "What to drink? How about tea?"

"Thank you!" Andy said quickly.

Soon, Mrs. Bagshot returned to the drawing room with two cups of tea.

After exchanging a few pleasantries and expressing concern for Mrs. Bagshot's health, Andy went straight to the point.

"Madam, I heard that Merlin was born from the union of a dream demon and a mortal woman, and has the blood of a demon..."

While speaking, Andy was carefully observing Mrs. Bagshot's expression. After all, Merlin could be regarded as the God of the magic world, and Andy's words were somewhat disrespectful to Merlin.

Fortunately, Mrs. Bagshot's expression did not change much.

Andy continued: "There is also a saying that Merlin is actually the child of a nun and an elf."

Mrs. Bagshot said calmly: "Half-bloods are not uncommon in the wizarding world. They steal the magical abilities of magical animals in this way."

"For example, Veela hybrids have the ability to charm. And Veela doesn't need to use a wand when using magic. This ability can also enhance the wizard's spellcasting ability."

"In Eastern European mythology, Veela are considered female fairies. In Slavic mythology, Veela are also known as water nymphs."

Andy raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

Could it be that Vivian, the Lady of the Lake who sealed Merlin in the legend, is actually a veela?

The Veela sealed Merlin?

Isn’t this a bit ridiculous?

As if she had seen through Andy's thoughts, Mrs. Bagshot continued, "Don't over-exaggerate your imagination of ancient wizards just because of myths and legends. Many stories are the result of beautification by later generations."

Andy nodded, approving of this statement.

In fact, Andy is not interested in Merlin's story. What Andy is really interested in is the hybrid of humans and magical creatures.

It's just that Mrs. Bagshot is not an expert on bloodlines.

"Ma'am, have you ever studied stories from ancient Greece?" Andy asked curiously.

Mrs. Bagshot said calmly, "I have done some research. But that era is too long ago, and a lot of information can no longer be verified. I can only learn a little about that era from some ancient books and documents."

"When I was young, I also explored some ruins from the ancient Greek era. The magic of that era was different from modern magic. There were no magic wands at that time, and casting spells required a lot from wizards."

Mrs. Bagshot seemed to be well aware of Andy's interest in magic and gave a lot of information on the subject.

Consistent with Andy's original opinion, wizard apprentices in ancient Greece had to practice controlling magic power at a very young age. Only when they had reached a certain level of control over magic power could they truly learn magic.

Since there were no magic wands, the spells cast by wizards in ancient Greece were actually similar to outbursts of magical power. Only skilled wizards could accurately control the power of magic.

That is why the power of ancient magic exceeds that of modern magic.

Andy frowned in thought.

In fact, many documents have recorded that European magic originated from ancient Egyptian civilization. And according to what Andy learned, Africa still has the skill of casting spells with hand gestures.

But gesture casting is actually modern magic.

In earlier times, spellcasting was actually quite barbaric.

"Wandless Casting..."

Andy has always been interested in wandless spellcasting, because more than one scholar has said that when wizards learn magic, they are actually rediscovering their spellcasting instincts.

But ancient wizards obviously could not make their wishes come true. Due to the difficulty of learning magic, many ancient wizards with low skills could only master one or two spells in their lifetime.

From this point of view, the invention of the magic wand undoubtedly promoted the rapid development of magic civilization.

"Thank you, ma'am."

Andy said politely: "You are such a knowledgeable and wise man."

"You should have heard that I improved the Patronus Charm. And as far as I know, Andros in ancient Greece was also a master in this area."

Chapter 301 Andy: I ​​finally know how to train a guardian

God

Although many people have told Andy that when the mind and magic are perfectly integrated, magic will give birth to self-awareness and transform from energy into real life.

But it is undeniable that Andy has indeed benefited a lot since improving the Patronus Charm.

Not to mention the two-on-one effect of the Patronus spell itself.

In addition, whether it is silent casting, fusion magic, or apparition - Andy is able to do all of this thanks to the initial fusion of mind and magic.

Because of this, whether it is the value of the Patronus Charm itself or the value extended from the Patronus Charm, it is worth Andy's continued research.

In addition, Andy has another guess.

Judging from the negative effects of Obscurus, the fusion of mind and magic is indeed very dangerous.

But don't forget that these three attributes of mind, thinking and will all originate from the soul.

The immortality of the soul is achievable in the magical world.
