Chapter 212 Ancient Magic
Mr. Foley looked at Lynn and Irina with a smile and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Rolle, Miss Lowell. My name is Carol Foley, Irvin's father. Welcome. Come to Foley Manor!”
After Mr. Foley finished speaking, Irwin stepped forward.
Just listen to Irwin saying to the two of them: "My father promised to let me take you to visit Foley Manor and allow you to read the magic book of our Foley family."
So, Linn and Irina followed Irwin's footsteps and visited the huge Foley Manor.
On the way to Forlì Castle, Irina asked curiously: "Irwin, do your Forlì family's collections also contain a large number of advanced black magic books?"
Hearing this, Irwin, who was walking in front, turned around. He saw the expression on Linn's face next to Irina, and realized that Irina did not know the specific situation of the pure-blood family.
Irvine explained to Irina: "No, in fact, each pure-blood family's book collection has a different focus, such as the Rohr family's black magic books, the Weasley family's alchemy magic books, and even Harry Potter's Potter family, which is not a pure-blood family, once had some books on blood magic."
Hearing Irwin's words, not only Irina, but also Linn was a little surprised.
Although Lin En knew that each pure-blood family's book collection had its own focus, he did not know the focus of other pure-blood families' book collections.
After learning that the Weasley family's collection of books focused on alchemy and magic, many things that were still confusing to Lynn were now explained.
The so-called alchemical magic is the combination of alchemy and magic, and the flying car modified by Mr. Weasley is a typical product of alchemical magic.
If the Weasley family has a large collection of alchemical magic books, then it is not surprising that Mr. Weasley is proficient in alchemical magic, and the future Weasley twins can invent so many novel alchemical products. .
After all, the only way to give a wizard who has never systematically studied alchemy the ability to use alchemy to transform things is to use alchemical magic.
"So, which aspect does the Foley family's book collection focus on?"
Lynn asked softly.
Irwin looked at Linn, he showed a proud smile, and heard him say word by word: "Ancient magic!"
Hearing this, both Lin En and Irina looked shocked.
Ancient magic basically possesses extremely powerful power. A powerful ancient magic can even destroy a city in an instant!
Even many of the powerful magics familiar to wizards today are simplified versions of those ancient magics.
"Our Foley family's magic books record a lot of ancient magic, and the way the books record ancient magic is not to teach us a new magic system from scratch, but to work backwards."
Irwin said so.
"Reverse reasoning?" Irina looked at him with some doubts.
Irwin nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, reverse reasoning! As we all know, many powerful magics, including fire spells, are simplified from some ancient magics, and what we have to do is to simplify these The simplified magic is reversed and restored to the original ancient magic."
Linn asked: "But if these existing magics can really be used to deduce ancient magic, then why has no one in the Foley family used ancient magic in the past hundred years?!"
Hearing this, Irwin smiled bitterly and said: "Although this method of inferring ancient magic is easier than learning ancient magic from scratch, its threshold is really too high. It has been so high for hundreds of years. None of us in the Foley family are qualified to practice ancient magic."
"Why do you see it?" Linn asked.
Irvine explained: "The prerequisite for practicing an ancient magic is that the wizard can simplify it into contemporary magic and practice it to an extremely proficient level, and this level requires the wizard to be able to complete the magic very smoothly. The curse is cast silently and without a wand!"
"For example, an ancient magic called Thunderbolt requires the wizard who practices it to be able to perform the silent and wandless casting of weather spells. This is not enough. The silent and wandless casting of weather spells through gestures cannot meet its requirements. , it requires you to release the weather spell with just one thought without any action!"
Irwin said so.
After hearing Irwin's words, both Linn and Irina fell into silence.
The prerequisites for practicing ancient magic are simply too difficult, and it is almost impossible for ordinary wizards to do it.
It's no wonder that no one in the Foley family has been able to practice ancient magic for hundreds of years. With this threshold, I'm afraid there are less than a handful of people in the entire magic world who are qualified to practice it for hundreds of years!
"I thought maybe we could give it a try."
After a long time, Lin En finally spoke out.
With Linn's flame affinity and Irina's ice element affinity, they have long been able to cast the fire spell and the freezing spell silently and wandlessly respectively.
Even Irina was able to rely on her own talent to evolve the freezing spell as a single-target attack spell into a range-damage spell like the ice field.
Perhaps, Irina's process of deducing the freezing curse into the ice realm can be regarded as the reverse deduction from Irwin's words.
Lin En stood there without any movement, but a red flame rose out of thin air in front of him, and then fell on Lin En's palm.
"This... can release a fire spell with just one thought. It is indeed Lin En who drove away the mysterious man's remnant soul and killed the basilisk that has lived for thousands of years!"
Irwin said in shock, his face full of disbelief.
Seeing Lin next to her cast a spell, Irina lowered her head and pondered for a while. Then, as a thought came to her, five ice picks condensed out of thin air in front of her and rotated around her.
These five ice picks are naturally the product of the evolution of the freezing spell. Lin En was one step ahead in deducing magic, so it is not difficult for her to meet the requirements for practicing ancient magic.
At this time, Irwin was so surprised that he was speechless.
He originally thought that the main purpose of today was just to take Lin En and Irina to visit his family's book collection to show his sincerity.
But he did not expect that Lin En and Irina actually met the prerequisites for practicing ancient magic, which was far beyond his expectation.
However, for Irwin, there is nothing to lose by letting Linn and Irina learn their own ancient magic.
After all, they have been comrades bound together for a long time, right? ! (End of chapter)
