Chapter 710 New Decisions and Changes in Europe
At this moment, Andy's thoughts were extremely clear.
The fat cat guardian angel born from the depths of Andy's soul can use self-sacrifice and the soul as a link to build an indestructible defense system for Andy.
Just like the protection that Lily left in Harry's bloodline.
This is the continuation of the bloodline.
Andy and the fat cat patron saint are the continuation of the soul.
In a way, it's the perfect defense.
“It’s definitely possible!”
Andy's eyes flickered.
Currently, there are two uses for the Fat Cat Guardian.
The first is to cooperate with Andy in fighting.
The second is self-sacrifice, building an indestructible defense for Andy's mind.
As for how to choose...
If the [Mind] attribute... oh, now it's the [Magic] attribute... if the Fat Cat Guardian can undergo a qualitative change after the [Magic] attribute reaches level eight, then choose the first one.
Otherwise, try the second one first.
Because magic defense is so important.
Even wizards of Andy and Dumbledore's level would die once they were hit head-on by the Killing Curse.
This is something Andy can't accept no matter what!
There are only thieves who can steal for a thousand days in this world, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.
Andy didn't want to lose his life because of carelessness.
Therefore, the best way is to make up for the shortcomings in magic defense and make oneself closer to perfection.
Thinking of this, Andy was in a good mood.
On the path of magic research, the most frightening thing is having no direction. But once you have a direction, then everything that follows will be a choice.
The first thing is to add points.
Originally Andy decided to add [Alchemy] first.
In this way, you can not only learn one more magic skill, but also have another channel to obtain [Potential Points].
But it is different now.
With the existence of the Fat Cat Guardian, the [Magic] attribute becomes of utmost importance!
Let’s not talk about the improvement of strength for now.
Because Andy won't be fighting for some time to come.
And the current strength is enough!
But this concerns Andy's life!
There is nothing important except life and death.
Only by saving his own life first can Andy conduct more magic research.
Open the system panel.
【Magic Power: 6】
[Will: 7]
Since the mind and magic power have been integrated into one, the attribute of [Will] has become an important force to suppress 'Obsession'.
If you want to increase [Magic], you must first increase [Will].
Andy calculated.
To raise the [Magic] attribute to level 7, seven [Potential Points] are needed. To raise it to level 8, according to Andy's estimation, about sixteen [Potential Points] are needed.
Taking into account the attribute of [Will]...
That is thirty-nine [Potential Points].
Even if one gains one [Potential Point] every ten days, it would still take three hundred and ninety days, or more than a year.
But the problem is...
In the past few years, Andy has learned most of the spells he needs to learn, and it is difficult for him to make much progress in a short period of time.
If you progress slowly, you will also gain [Potential Points] slowly.
In this vicious cycle, it may take even longer!
This is also the main reason why Andy was determined to add [Alchemy] first.
So, a new problem arises.
Are there any other channels to quickly gain [Potential Points]?
Black magic is fine.
Alchemy can also be learned at will.
Divination is all about talent.
Spells and Transfiguration progress too slowly.
"Then... let's do this!"
At this point, the learning route that focuses on black magic and supplemented by alchemy undoubtedly best suits Andy's needs.
The seventh level of [Will] is enough to offset the erosion of the soul by black magic. Moreover, Andy will increase the [Will] attribute to the eighth level.
Thinking about it this way, the problem doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Andy scratched his head.
……
Near noon, Andy left the Room of Requirement.
"You seem to be in a good mood?" In the hall, Hermione keenly noticed the change in Andy's expression.
"Is it obvious?" Andy touched his face.
The little witch waved her wand, and a dinner plate turned into a mirror and stood in front of Andy, "Look for yourself!"
"Uh……"
Andy waved his hand to return the mirror to its original state, raised an eyebrow and said, "It seems quite obvious... Well! I have made new progress in my research on magic."
"Congratulations!" Hermione congratulated.
"Thank you!" Andy smiled.
As they were talking, a large flock of owls suddenly flew into the auditorium.
"Why did the owl come in at this time?" Hermione was a little surprised.
Generally speaking, apart from personal letters and express deliveries, owls only deliver the daily Daily Prophet in the morning.
"It's the Daily Prophet."
A newspaper fell in front of Andy. Andy flipped through it and said, "It looks like it was reprinted urgently. Maybe something big happened in the wizarding world again."
"I'm guessing it has something to do with Grindelwald."
"There is nothing bigger than him in the wizarding world right now."
Hermione came closer with a serious look.
The headline of the newspaper was Grindelwald's wanted warrant.
"Wanted order?"
Hermione asked in surprise, "As I recall, after Voldemort was resurrected, the Ministry of Magic didn't seem to issue a wanted notice for him?"
"He's wanted in Europe." Andy curled his lips.
Hermione: "..."
"So...?" Hermione's expression was a little complicated.
"It's just what you think."
Andy shrugged. "Grindelwald won't come to our place anyway, so we can just post the wanted poster."
As he spoke, Andy quickly scanned the contents of the newspaper.
Hmm...nothing new in the content.
It was nothing more than Grindelwald escaping from prison, and then a detailed report of Grindelwald's past "glorious achievements" and the crucial battle in which he was defeated by Dumbledore.
There isn't much new content.
The most we can do is guess how many illegal rallies Grindelwald has held, how many subordinates he has, etc. There is no value in any in-depth analysis.
As for what Andy wanted to see most, the exciting confrontation between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, there was not even a mention of it in the newspaper.
"It looks like the Ministry of Magic is about to announce Voldemort's death." Andy said suddenly.
Hermione nodded upon hearing this.
Voldemort was dead, and it did not matter whether his death was announced or not.
Grindelwald, on the other hand...
Hermione frowned and asked, "Andy, Grindelwald was hiding very well before, and the Ministry of Magic in Europe only arrested him secretly. Why is it suddenly reported now?"
"I can't hide it anymore!" Andy said casually.
Logically speaking, what Grindelwald needs most now is time.
The only reason this was reported was to create some trouble for Dumbledore.
Unfortunately, Andy has no intelligence sources in Europe.
The good news is that Lucius Malfoy has secretly traveled to Europe, and I believe the latest news will be delivered back soon.
Besides, the batch of books Grindelwald sent to Andy should be arriving soon. The old man might smuggle some private goods and take the opportunity to send Andy a personal letter or something.
After all... Andy and he are close friends regardless of age difference!
