Chapter 300: Magic History

Although Andy had only made a subtle change to the Apparition spell, this change, however, had a significant impact on the combat power and could not be ignored.

Relying on the eyes and using the subconscious mind to determine the destination.

When you thought of using Apparition, you could immediately do the third step - feel yourself becoming void.

Then ... turn around and move with ease.

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

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

'Perhaps ... even the step of turning can be omitted.'

Determining the destination with the eyes, completing the turn with the body, and mentally doing only the last two steps.

This method was simple to say, but human thoughts were actually very difficult to control. Especially, a highly precise displacement magic like Apparition required the caster's full focus.

Any slight mistake could lead to the failure of the spell casting.

The main reason why Andy was able to do it was because of [Charms: 7] talent, and up to five points of [Mind] and four points of [Thinking] were likewise factors that could not be ignored.

And most importantly, Andy's mind and magic power had already completed a preliminary fusion.

This fusion gave Andy reckless confidence and also allowed Andy to cast magic more easily.

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

Whether it was the practice of fusion magic or the subtle changes to the Apparition spell, the initial fusion of the mind and magic power was the foundation for accomplishing all of this.

--Andy's mind could control the magic more easily.

Andy, who was in a good mood, had an even better appetite for dinner.

***

Time passed day by day, and Christmas was approaching.

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

Widows and orphans always need to be considered.

That morning, Andy brought his gifts and once again set off on his journey to visit Mrs Bagshot.

Thump!

Creak-

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

"Good morning, madam," Andy said politely.

Mrs Bagshot sidestepped away, "Please come in! Over the years, you're the only little one who has come over to see me from time to time."

In fact, Andy's relationship with Mrs Bagshot may not be as close as it should be, and with how wise she was, she may not fail to see that Andy's approach to her is laced with ulterior motives.

But regardless of what Andy's purpose was, to be able to accompany the old woman to chat for a while, to be able to go over to visit from time to time, it is also that thought that made Mrs Bagshot willing to talk to Andy for a while.

Anyway, as long as Mrs Bagshot didn't drive him away, Andy would be able to pay her a shameless visit all the time.

Mrs. Bagshot's house is still the same as last year, old, damp, and mouldy, and there is a coldness that even the flame in the fireplace can not dispel.

The house, like Mrs Bagshot's, was as old as the ground.

"Sit down!"

Mrs Bagshot walked shakily to the kitchen, "Would you like something to drink, how about some tea?"

"Thanks!" Andy said in a hurry.

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

After exchanging a few pleasantries and caring about Mrs Bagshot's health, Andy went straight to the point.

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

While speaking, Andy had carefully observed Mrs Bagshot's expression. After all, Merlin could be considered the 'God' in the magic world, and Andy's words were more or less disrespectful to Merlin.

Luckily, Mrs Bagshot did not have too many changes in her expression.

Andy continued, "There is also a saying that Merlin is actually the child of a nun and a Druid."

Mrs Bagshot said indifferently, "Half-bloods are not uncommon in the magic world, and they inherit the magical abilities of magical creatures through this method."

"Like the half-blood Veela, they can charm. Moreover, when using magic, Veela wizards don't need to use wands. Their ability also enhances a wizard's ability to cast spells."

"In Eastern European mythology, Veela is considered a faeryess. In Slavic mythology, Veela is also known as a water nymph."

Andy raised his eyebrows at this.

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

A Veela sealed Merlin?

This was too much bullshit, right?

Seemingly seeing Andy's thoughts, Mrs Bagshot continued: "Don't over-exaggerate ancient wizards just because of myths and legends. Many stories are the result of glorification by later generations."

Andy nodded his head, full of recognition for this statement.

In fact, Andy was not interested in Merlin's story, what Andy was interested in was actually the hybridisation of human and magical creatures.

It was just that Mrs Bagshot was not an expert in bloodlines.

"Ma'am, have you ever studied the stories of the Ancient Greek era?" Andy asked curiously.

Mrs Bagshot said faintly, "Have studied some of it. But that era is too far away, a lot of information can no longer be verified, and I only learnt a little bit 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 wands back then, and casting spells was very demanding for wizards."

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

Consistent with Andy's initial opinion, the wizard apprentices in the Ancient Greek era had to practice manipulating magic power at a very young age, and only after the manipulation of magic power had reached a certain level could they truly learn spells.

Due to the lack of wands, wizards in the ancient Greek era cast spells more or less similar to accidental magic outbursts, and only highly skilled wizards could precisely control the power of their magic.

That was why the power of ancient magic exceeded modern magic.

Andy frowned in contemplation.

In fact, it was recorded in many documents that the magic in Europe originated from the ancient Egyptian civilisation. And according to the information Andy had learnt, there were still gesture spell-casting techniques over there in Africa now.

But gesture spell casting was actually modern magic.

In earlier times, spell-casting was actually quite wild and barbaric.

'Casting without a wand ...'

Andy had always been interested in wandless casting because more than one academic had said that wizards are actually reclaiming their spellcasting instincts when they are learning magic.

But ancient wizards obviously couldn't do what their hearts desired either; due to the difficulty of learning magic, many ancient wizards with low levels could only master one or two spells in their lifetime.

From this point of view, the invention of the magic wand undoubtedly promoted the high-speed development of the magic civilisation.

"Thank you, madam."

Andy said politely, "You are truly a knowledgeable and wise person."

"You should have also heard that I improved the Patronus Charm. And as far as I know, Andros from the ancient Greek era was also an expert in this area."
