Chapter 300 Magic in History

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

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

When you realize that you are performing Apparition, immediately complete the third step - feel yourself become nothingness.

Then... turn around and move calmly.

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

Isabel can see with her naked eyes that Andy's Apparition is much faster.

"Maybe... even the step of turning can be omitted."

Use your eyes to determine the target, use your body to complete the turn, and only do the last two steps in your mind.

This method sounds simple, but it is actually difficult to control people's thinking. Especially for highly precise displacement magic such as Apparition, the caster needs to concentrate.

Any mistake may lead to the failure of casting.

Andy can do it, [Magic: 7] is the main reason, and the high five points of [Mind] and four points of [Thinking] are also factors that cannot be ignored.

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

This fusion gives Andy the confidence to be unscrupulous and allows Andy to cast magic more easily.

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

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

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

Andy was in a good mood, and even his appetite for dinner was much better.

…

Time passed day by day, and Christmas was coming soon.

In addition to preparing gifts for relatives, friends, and professors, Andy did not forget Mrs. Bagshot's share.

Lonely old people always need to be remembered.

This morning, Andy took the gifts and once again embarked on a journey to visit Mrs. Bagshot.

Thump thump thump!

Creak——

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

"Madam, good morning." Andy said politely.

Mrs. Bagshot stepped aside, "Please come in! In these years, only you, a little guy, can come to see me often."

In fact, Andy and Mrs. Bagshot may not have a very close relationship. With her wisdom, she may not be able to see that Andy actually has 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 is willing to chat with Andy.

Anyway, as long as Mrs. Bagshot doesn't drive him away, Andy can visit her shamelessly.

Mrs. Bagshot's house is still the same as last year, old, damp, moldy, and there is a chill that even the flames in the fireplace cannot dispel.

This house is just like Mrs. Bagshot, it is so old that it is about to be buried.

"Sit down!"

Mrs. Bagshot trembled as she walked to the kitchen. "What would you like to drink? How about tea?"

"Thank you!" Andy said quickly.

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

After a few pleasantries and some concern about 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 can 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 another saying that Merlin is actually the child of a nun and an elf."

Mrs. Bagshot said lightly, "Mixed blood is not uncommon in the magic world. They steal the magical abilities of magical animals in this way."

"Like a Veela mixed blood, it has the ability to charm. And Veela does not need to use a wand when using magic. This ability can also enhance the wizard's spellcasting ability."

"In Eastern European mythology, Veela is considered to be a female elf. In Slavic mythology, Veela is also called a water fairy."

Andy raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Could it be that the legendary lake fairy Vivian who sealed Merlin was actually a Veela?

Veela sealed Merlin?

Isn't this a bit ridiculous?

As if she saw Andy's thoughts, Mrs. Bagshot continued, "Don't imagine ancient wizards too exaggeratedly because of myths and legends. Many stories are the result of beautification by later generations."

Andy nodded, full of approval of this sentence.

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

It's just that Mrs. Bagshot is not a blood expert.

"Madam, have you studied the stories of ancient Greece?" Andy asked curiously.

Mrs. Bagshot said lightly: "I have studied some. But that era is too long ago, and many materials 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 relics of the ancient Greek era. The magic of that era was different from modern magic. There were no magic wands at that time, and the requirements for wizards to cast spells were very high."

Mrs. Bagshot seemed to be very clear about Andy's interest in magic and said a lot of information in this regard.

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

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

So the power of ancient magic would exceed that of modern magic.

Andy frowned and pondered.

In fact, many documents record that European magic originated from ancient Egyptian civilization. And according to the information Andy learned, there are still gesture casting techniques in Africa.

But gesture casting is actually modern magic.

In earlier times, casting was actually very barbaric.

"Wandless casting..."

Andy has always been very interested in wandless casting, because more than one scholar has said that wizards learning magic is actually retrieving their casting instincts.

But ancient wizards obviously couldn't get what they wanted. Due to the difficulty of learning magic, many ancient wizards with low levels could only master one or two magics in their lifetime.

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

"Thank you, ma'am."

Andy said politely: "You are really a knowledgeable 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."
