Chapter 4043 4045 [Sad Family]
While Xiang Nan was working hard to practice wandless magic,
“It’s time to eat.” Mother Erin called.
Xiang Nan heard the shouting, got up and walked out of the bedroom.
"Do you still need to eat?" Tobias glared at him and said, "You little monster!"
“My dear, don’t do this, please.” Irene begged humbly.
“Aren’t you wizards? Why can’t you make some money?” Tobia complained.
"Dear, I explained to you that using magic to make money is worthless, and the Ministry of Magic strictly prohibits it." Irene explained softly.
Using the copying spell, you can copy money, and you can also copy gold and silver, but the copied items have no value, just like fakes and counterfeit banknotes.
And it is strictly prohibited by the Ministry of Magic. Once the Department for the Misuse of Magic finds out, she will be sentenced and imprisoned in Azkaban for months, or even years.
And Azkaban is like hell, no one wants to be locked up there.
“Trash, really trash, it all depends on me, I’ve had enough.” Tobias Snape complained loudly.
Xiang Nan felt disdainful when he saw him saying this.
There are many laid-off people. They don’t want to be self-reliant. They only engage in alcoholism, domestic violence, and bullying their wives and sons. What kind of men are they?
“Okay, dear, let’s eat.” Irene persuaded while holding back her sadness.
…
After reluctantly finishing a dinner that was neither hearty nor delicious, Xiang Nan returned to his bedroom and continued to practice wandless spellcasting to accumulate his spellcasting experience.
He has now mastered the floating spell, the flying spell, the iron armor spell, the copying spell, the enlarging spell, the shrinking spell, the falling apart spell, the restoration spell, the intermediate transformation spell, etc.
But these are still far from enough, he still needs more practice.
Hang Nan spent the whole night practicing magic spells.
The flies, mosquitoes, and spiders in the house all suffered from this. Sometimes they were enlarged by him, sometimes shrunk by him, sometimes they were turned into buttons, and sometimes they were shattered to pieces by him...
Moreover, in order to avoid alerting Tobias, Xiang Nan not only cast the spell without a wand, but also used silent casting, trying not to make any noise.
Silent casting is to recite a spell in your mind so that the opponent does not know that you are casting a spell, thus having the effect of surprising and off guarding.
It is less difficult than wandless casting, but it also requires strong willpower and concentration.
When Xiang Nan first started, he still needed to recite the incantation in a low voice. But as his proficiency increased, he gradually mastered the technique of silent spellcasting.
…
Turning around, after eating a simple breakfast, Xiang Nan left home again and came to the river amid Tobia's complaints.
He did not consider helping his family change the current situation of poverty.
He has one more year before he can go to Hogwarts. At that time, he can stay far away from this home, or even never come back.
Arrived at the river, Xiang Nan continued to practice his spell. Smashing curse, fire-making curse, stun curse, explosion curse, left and right separation, flocks of birds, thousands of bullets fired, house collapse and ground collapse...
This creek is dirty and dirty. No one will come here to play, and no one will come to him to play, so here, he can cast spells without fear of being seen by others.
“I’m sorry, I’m late.” Just as Xiang Nan was using his transformation technique to turn a frog into stone, Lily’s voice came to his ears.
She originally thought she had arrived early, but she didn't expect Xiang Nan to arrive earlier, which made her feel very sorry.
"It doesn't matter, we didn't agree on a time." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "You can come anytime you want."
"Thank you." Lily breathed a sigh of relief, "What are you doing?"
"I'm practicing a spell." Xiang Nan explained, "Look, it's shattered to pieces~" With a wave of his hand, the frog turned into stone and immediately shattered into powder.
"It's so amazing." Seeing this, Lily said in surprise, "Can I learn it too?"
"You can, but you don't have a magic wand, so there is a high probability that you won't be able to control the spell, so it may cause danger." Xiang Nan explained.
“A wand?” Lily asked in surprise.
"Yes, every wizard has his own wand, which is composed of wand wood and wand core. Each wand is unique, with different wood, wand core, size, and thickness." Xiang Nan explained.
"I will also have my own wand?" Lily asked in surprise, "When can I get it?"
“Before the start of Hogwarts, you will receive an admission letter, which will tell you the necessary books, equipment, and clothing for new students.
At that time, you can go to the Leaky Cauldron pub in London with your parents and your admission letter, and then enter Diagon Alley through the wall in the backyard of the pub.
There is an Ollivander wand shop there. He is recognized as the best wand master in the wizarding world. His family has been making wands since 382 BC. Xiang Nan explained, "You can spend seven galleons there to buy a wand of your own." "
“Gallon?” Lily asked again.
“It is the currency of the magical world, made by goblins. One galleon is equal to seventeen Sickles, and one Sickle is equal to twenty-nine Nats.” Xiang Nan explained.
“Fairy?” Lily’s eyes widened.
“Yes, of course there are fairies in the magic world.” Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, “They are also intelligent creatures, even more cunning than humans. They are good at metal processing and making magic props.
The silverware they make is not only exquisite, but also not easily damaged. Goblins are also good at managing money. Gringotts, the only bank in the wizarding world, is managed by them.
And their ideas are different from humans. They believe that all items made by fairies belong to fairies. Even if someone else buys this item, they only temporarily buy the right to use it. After his death, the item should be returned to the goblin.
In their view, passing on items made by goblins to future generations is as shameful as stealing. Therefore, they often clashed with human wizards, and several wars even broke out. "
"Wow~" Lily was dumbfounded when she heard Xiang Nan say this. She didn't expect that the wizarding world is so magical and interesting. "You know so much, thank you for telling me."
"You're welcome, these are common sense in the wizarding world. Even if I don't tell you, you will know sooner or later." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.
“Thank you anyway.” Seeing him say this, Lily was even more moved.
"Lily, you are with this freak again. I tell you, he is a liar, a scoundrel, a gangster, and everything he says is lying to you." At this time, a sharp voice suddenly sounded.
It was Lily's sister Penny Evans. She pointed at Xiang Nan and shouted loudly, the facial features on her face were a little distorted.
