Chapter 4047 4049 [The inheritance of the Prince family]
"Didn't you say you wanted me to perform?" Xiang Nan smiled slightly and said, "Even if you want to leave, wait until I finish the performance."
As he spoke, he began to play the guitar, and a relaxing and pleasant melody immediately sounded, and Xiang Nan also sang along with the melody.
“I once had a huge burden on my shoulders, which made me overwhelmed
Every day I feel so heavy that it’s hard to get rid of it!
…
I'm stumbling along the way, and I'm going bumpy
Walking through this troublesome journey!
…
Wandering along the river
I have lifted my burden and now I will move forward lightly
I am high-spirited (I have found my freedom)
…”
"Traveling Light", also known as "Traveling Light", was written and sung by the famous singer Joey Hanson, who has won the Grammy Award. It became a sensation after its release in 2002.
…
As soon as Xiang Nan finished singing, everyone present looked at him in stunned silence.
They all looked down on Xiang Nan, thinking that he was born in a poor family and had never gone to school or received a formal education. Naturally, he could not spell, play musical instruments, or understand music theory...
So they were sure that Xiang Nan could not compose songs, so they laughed at him to their heart's content.
But unexpectedly, Xiang Nan's performance really shocked them.
The song "Traveling Lightly" has a pleasant melody and touching lyrics, and Xiang Nan's moving singing voice adds a lot to the song.
They really didn’t expect that Xiang Nan could have such a song. It was incredible and so beautiful.
“Severus, you sing so well!” Lily was the first to praise loudly.
“Awesome!”, “Amazing!”, “It sounds great!”, “He’s so awesome~” Everyone also agreed.
Even Penny, who was always mean, looked at Xiang Nan with a fiery look.
Michael and Jack’s faces turned red. No matter how harshly they scolded Xiang Nan just now, the slaps they received would hurt.
“Thank you for the guitar, it’s such a good guitar.” Xiang Nan said with a smile and returned the guitar to Michael.
Michael blushed and took the guitar awkwardly, wishing that there was a crack in the ground that he could get into quickly.
“Okay, let’s play a game. I’ve prepared a ‘you draw and I guess’ game. Who wants to play?” Lily Evans said, not wanting the awkward atmosphere to continue.
Lily Evans immediately took out the whiteboard and prepared questions for everyone to play the game. As the game progressed, the unhappiness just now quickly disappeared.
…
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the party ends and everyone goes home. "Severus, thank you for coming today, and thank you for your gift." Lily walked Xiang Nan to the door, "I'm sorry that Michael and Jack treated you like that, and I apologize to you on their behalf."
"It doesn't matter, I've long been used to it." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I won't blame them."
"You are such a nice person." Lily nodded, "My parents asked me to tell you that they welcome you to visit my house often."
It turned out that Lily Evans' parents were a little worried when they found out that Xiang Nan was from Spider End Alley. But after seeing the gifts he gave me, I felt that he was very talented.
After all, it is not an easy thing for a teenage boy to be able to draw such a good oil painting.
Furthermore, when the children had a conflict, the couple immediately noticed it. However, they respected their daughter's opinion and were prepared to let her handle the matter on her own, so they did not intervene immediately.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan impressed everyone with a relaxing and melodious song, and also impressed Lili's parents. In their opinion, although Xiang Nan was born in Spider End Alley, he was talented and polite. They welcomed him as their daughter's friend.
“Tell your parents for me that I am grateful to them.” Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan nodded and said with a smile, does this count as settling the matter with the father-in-law and mother-in-law?
…
In the next few months, Xiang Nan continued to study magic knowledge, and their family happened to have a large number of magic books.
Eileen Prince was born into a pure-blood wizarding family. However, the number of members of the Prince family was declining, and some of her ancestors were married to Muggles. Therefore, the author of the "Pure-blood Guide" did not include the Prince family when compiling this book. Included in the "Twenty-Eight Sacred Tribes".
This is not surprising. The Potter family, which also has a long history but has a declining population, is not included in the "Twenty-eight Sacred Clan". In fact, not all the families included in the "Twenty-Eight Sacred Clan" are purely pure. Blood wizard.
Although the Prince family is a pure-blood family, it has declined centuries ago, and each generation has become worse than the last. Therefore, not much property has been passed down to Erin.
Just like Voldemort's ancestors, the Gaunt family, although they are descendants of Salazar Slytherin, due to poor management and extravagant living, the family property was lost within a few generations and they became penniless and poor.
But as the saying goes, there are still three thousand nails in a rotten ship, and a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. As a pure-blood family, the Prince family still has a legacy.
Just like no matter how poor the Gaunt family is, they still have the Resurrection Stone and Slytherin's Locket; no matter how poor the Weasley family is, they still have a magical clock that can show the status of the family...
The Prince family inherited a roomful of magic books, which almost filled all the houses in Spider End Alley. This is a collection collected by the Prince family for generations, including books on potions, charms, herbalism, transfiguration, magical literature and many other subjects.
It is precisely because of these books that when Snape first entered school, he knew more spells than half of the seventh-grade students. This also shows that the Prince family has a rich collection of books.
During this period, Xiang Nan read a lot of books and learned a lot of magic, including a lot of jinxes, poison spells and curses.
The difference between these three types of curses is that curses are usually less harmful, such as biting curses, stinging curses, obstacles, loose power, upside down golden bells, burning and burning, etc.
Poison spells are usually related to black magic and cause relatively large harm, such as pus curse, leg locking curse, bat spirit curse, incisor plugging stick, toenail growth curse, etc.
Curses are the most malicious and destructive black magic, such as the three unforgivable curses, the Imperius Curse, the Cruciatus Curse, the Avada Kedavra Curse, the Shadowless Curse, the Resurrection Curse, the Fire Curse, etc.
And many of the magics Xiang Nan learned were not mentioned in the textbooks. This also greatly enriched his knowledge and improved his strength.
Because the more spells you know, the more choices you have when using them. Moreover, skilled wizards usually arrange and combine spells and then cast them together to form a combo, which makes the opponent unable to guard against them and has greater lethality.
For example, when Molly Weasley fought against Bellatrix, she first bound her with all petrification, followed by a split shot, killing her instantly.
This is the power of "combination". The more spells you know, the richer the permutations and combinations, and the harder it is for the enemy to defend.
