Chapter 300 Magic in History
Although Andy only made minor changes to Apparition, the impact of this change on combat effectiveness cannot be ignored.
Rely on your eyes and use your subconscious to determine your goals.
When you realize you are Apparating, immediately complete step three - feel yourself become nothing.
Then...turn around and move calmly.
Although it only omits one step, the improvement in spell casting speed is extremely obvious.
With only her naked eyes, Isabel could see 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 your mind only takes the last two steps.
This method sounds simple, but human thinking is actually difficult to control.In particular, highly sophisticated displacement magic like apparation requires the caster's full concentration.
Any mistake may lead to the failure of the spell.
Andy was able to do it. [Charms: 7] was the main reason. The five-point [Psychic] and four-point [Thinking] were also factors that could not be ignored.
The most important thing is that Andy's mind and magic have completed the initial integration.
This fusion gives Andy the confidence to be unscrupulous and allows Andy to cast magic more easily.
It must be said that Andy has benefited a lot from the improved Patronus Charm.
Whether it is the practice of fusion magic or the subtle modification of Apparition, the initial fusion of mind and magic is the basis for completing it all.
——Andy’s mind can control magic more easily.
Andy was in a good mood and even had a better appetite for dinner.
……
Time goes by and Christmas is coming.
In addition to preparing gifts for relatives, friends, and professors, Andy also did not forget Mrs. Bagshot's gift.
As a lonely old man, he always needs to be remembered.
This morning, Andy brought gifts and once again embarked on a journey to visit Mrs. Bagshot.
Deng Deng Deng!
creak-
The old wooden door was pushed open, and Mrs. Bagshot glanced at Andy, "Little Andy...you're here!"
"Good morning, madam." Andy said politely.
Mrs. Bagshot turned sideways and said, "Please come in! In these years, you are the only little guy who has been able to come and see me from time to time."
In fact, the relationship between Andy and Mrs. Bagshot may not be very close. With her old wisdom, she may not be unable to see that Andy has ulterior motives in approaching her.
But regardless of Andy's purpose, if he could chat with the old man for a while and visit him from time to time, Mrs. Bagshot would be willing to chat with Andy.
Anyway, as long as Mrs. Bagshot doesn't drive people away, Andy can shamelessly keep visiting her.
Mrs. Bagshot's house was still the same as last year, old, damp, moldy, and with a coldness that even the flames in the fireplace could not dispel.
The house, like Mrs. Bagshot, was old and ready to die.
"sit down!"
Mrs. Bagshot walked to the kitchen tremblingly, "What would you like to drink? How about tea?"
"Thank you!" Andy said quickly.
Soon, Mrs. Bagshot walked back to the living room with two cups of tea.
<divclass="contentadv">After exchanging a few pleasantries and caring about Mrs. Bagshot's health, Andy went directly to the topic.
"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 had been carefully observing Mrs. Bagshot's expression.After all, Merlin can be regarded as the God of the magic world. Andy's words are somewhat disrespectful to Merlin.
Fortunately, Mrs. Bagshot's expression didn't change much.
Andy continued: "There is also a theory that Merlin is actually the child of a nun and an elf."
Mrs. Bagshot said calmly: "Mixed-bloods are not uncommon in the magical world. They use this method to steal the magical abilities of magical animals."
"For example, Veela hybrids have the ability to enchant. Moreover, Veela does not need to use a wand when using magic. This ability can also improve the wizard's spellcasting ability."
"In Eastern European mythology, Veela are considered to be female elves. In Slavic mythology, Veela are also known as water nymphs."
Andy raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.
Could it be that Vivian, the fairy in the lake who sealed Merlin in the legend, was actually a Veela?
Veela sealed Merlin?
Isn't this a bit nonsense?
Seemingly sensing Andy's thoughts, Mrs. Bagshot continued: "Don't overexaggerate your imagination about ancient wizards just because of myths and legends. Many stories are the result of beautification by later generations."
Andy nodded, full of approval for this sentence.
In fact, Andy is not interested in Merlin's story. What Andy is really interested in is the hybrid between humans and magical creatures.
It’s just that Mrs. Bagshot is not a blood expert.
"Madam, have you done any research on stories from the ancient Greek era?" Andy asked curiously.
Mrs. Bagshot said calmly: "I have done some research. However, that era was too long ago, and many data cannot be verified. I can only understand 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 spellcasting required very high requirements for wizards."
Mrs. Bagshot seemed to be well aware of Andy's interest in magic and told a lot of information about it.
Consistent with Andy's original view, wizard apprentices in the ancient Greek era had to practice manipulating magic at a very young age. Only after the control of magic reaches a certain level can they truly learn magic.
Since there was no magic wand, magic casting by wizards in the ancient Greek era was actually similar to a burst of magic. Only skilled wizards could accurately control the power of magic.
That's why ancient magic is more powerful than modern magic.
Andy frowned thoughtfully.
In fact, it is recorded in many documents that magic in Europe originated from the ancient Egyptian civilization.According to the information Andy learned, there is still a technique for casting spells using hand gestures in Africa.
But gesture casting is actually modern magic.
In earlier times, spellcasting was actually quite barbaric.
"Casting spells without a wand..."
Andy has always been interested in wandless spellcasting, because more than one scholar has said that when wizards learn magic, they are actually retrieving their spellcasting instincts.
But ancient wizards obviously couldn't make their wishes come true. Due to the difficulty of learning magic, many ancient wizards with low level could only master one or two magics in their lifetime.
From this point of view, the invention of the magic wand undoubtedly promoted the rapid development of magical civilization.
"Thank you, ma'am."
Andy said politely: "You are really a wise man with profound knowledge."
"You should also have heard that I improved the Patronus Charm. As far as I know, Andros in ancient Greece was also a master in this area."
Although Andy only made minor changes to Apparition, the impact of this change on combat effectiveness cannot be ignored.
