Chapter 4056 Chapter 4058 [Sword Control]
“You have to concentrate and don’t get distracted, otherwise the magic will be ineffective.” Xiang Nan said upon seeing this.
Lily nodded and tried again.
By noon, she could make rocks fly, and her progress was quite rapid.
“That’s great, you learned well.” Xiang Nan clapped his hands and smiled, “Lily, you are really talented.”
"Severus, you taught me well." Lily waved her hand and said with a smile. Without Xiang Nan's careful teaching, she would not have progressed so fast.
"You're welcome." Xiang Nan smiled, "But remember, as a wizard, try not to show off your magic in front of Muggles. Especially after enrolling in school, otherwise, you may be expelled from the school, your wand will be taken away, and you may even be raped. Imprisoned in Azkaban Prison."
“Azkaban Prison?” Lily said in surprise.
"Yes, it is a prison built on the sea. It is guarded by dementors. It is difficult to get out if you are locked in it." Xiang Nan nodded.
“What are dementors?” Lily asked again curiously.
“It is a dark magical creature with a very terrifying appearance. It wears a black cloak and has withered hands, like a floating corpse soaked in water.
They feed on people's happiness. Wherever they pass, they will absorb all the joy and make people fall into emotions of terror, depression, and sadness.
Moreover, it also has the most powerful move, the 'Dementor's Kiss', which is to **** out a person's soul. At that time, the person will become a soulless zombie. "Xiang Nan explained.
After hearing this, Lily's eyes widened in fright. She didn't expect there to be such a terrifying monster in the world. It was simply shocking.
"But you don't have to worry too much. As long as you abide by the law, you won't be thrown into Azkaban casually." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Lily nodded.
…
At night, after his parents fell asleep, Xiang Nan used Qing Kung Fu and came to London.
Cokeworth is located in central England and belongs to the Derwent Valley Industrial Area.
From the 18th to the 19th centuries, this was a world-famous industrial area for the cotton textile industry.
But by the mid-20th century, the British textile industry was gradually replaced by emerging markets, and the traditional textile industry town of Cokeworth gradually fell into decline, resulting in a large number of textile workers becoming unemployed.
Tobias Snape is one of them.
The city of Cokeworth is one hundred and thirteen miles (one hundred and eighty six kilometers) away from London. With Xiang Nan's quick work, he arrived in less than two hours.
After arriving in London, Xiang Nan immediately used the art of disguise to change his appearance, turning himself into a man in his forties, and followed him to an entertainment city.
Although London’s entertainment industry is not as well-known as Macau, Monaco, Atlantic City, and Las Vegas, its entertainment industry is actually quite developed.
There are more than 30 large and small entertainment centers in the city, with an annual business scale of up to 15 billion pounds, ranking fifth in the world.
The main reason why Xiang Nan came here was to make some money.
He originally didn’t care about money. Whether he was rich or poor, it was fine for him.
Furthermore, he was not originally prepared to help Tobias Snape get out of poverty, because he believed that such a father who only knew domestic violence was not worthy of his help.
However, after getting the "True Interpretation of the Five Elements of Taoism", Xiang Nan wanted to learn the sword-controlling skills in it.
Sword-controlling, which focuses on flying with a sword and moving across the world, was one of the spells he most wanted to learn.
In ancient Chinese myths and legends, many immortals can wield swords. For example, Guangchengzi was proficient in the art of swordplay and once refined alchemy swords by the banks of Dinghu Lake; Lu Dongbin held a pure Yang sword and was invincible in slaying demons and demons; Zhang Daoling, who learned from Taishang Laojun, also passed down the three-five-step method of slaying evil spirits. Male and female swords…
If you want to practice sword control, you must first have a good sword in your hand.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan has a good sword in his hand. That was the reward he received from the world of "Farewell My Concubine", the "Rabbit Gut Sword" made by Emperor Qianlong.
This sword once witnessed a bad relationship between Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou. After Xiang Nan completed the task, Duan Xiaolou gave it to him. It was extremely sharp and cut iron like clay. Cheng Dieyi died under this sword.
However, the Tu Dan Sword still needs to be refined and turned into a flying sword before he can continue to practice sword control.
To turn the Rabbit Dan sword into a flying sword, he also needs some alchemical raw materials to carve talismans and magic circles. And these obviously cost money.
So Xiang Nan had to come to London to earn some money to buy alchemical raw materials.
…
After Xiang Nan entered the entertainment city, he bought two chips with only two pounds.
These two pounds were the only pocket money he had and he had been reluctant to spend it, but now he finally put it to use.
As for the entertainment city's business, it has always been a matter of small and large donations. Millions and tens of millions are not too much, and a few pounds and pennies are not too little.
After Xiang Nan took two chips, he first played roulette and chose a single number to pay thirty-five. The two chips turned into seventy chips at once. Then he pressed two more numbers and paid seventeen to seventy. The number of chips suddenly increased to more than 1,100.
Subsequently, Xiang Nan played blackjack and Texas Hold'em... In less than two hours, the two pounds had turned into 100,000 pounds, a huge increase of 50,000 times.
Xiang Nan gave it up when he saw that it was good, exchanged the chips, and left the entertainment city to return home. Two hours later, he was running back to Spider End from London.
It was half past six and his parents were not awake yet.
Xiang Nan secretly hid the money, then lay on the bed and took a nap.
At seven o'clock, Erin Prince got up to make breakfast. At eight o'clock, Xiang Nan was woken up by her and got up to have breakfast together.
"Mom, Lily is going to Diagon Alley later. She forgot to buy a quill, ink and parchment. I want to accompany her." Xiang Nan said to Irene.
Irene nodded and did not object.
“Is she the daughter of Robin Evans?” Tobia Snape suddenly asked.
“Yes, Dad, do you know their family?” Xiang Nan asked doubtfully.
"He used to be an engineer in our factory. Damn it, we workers are unemployed, but they, the engineers, can still live a good life." Tobia complained, "You brat, if you can catch his daughter, you can still live a good life." You have avenged me."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan rolled his eyes speechlessly.
But he was glad that Tobias didn't stop him from going to Diagon Alley.
After all, he never likes his wife and son to mention magic in front of him, let alone them going to Diagon Alley. Because you have to spend money every time you go.
He felt that the money was wasted and it would be better to buy him a few more bottles of wine.
…
Xiang Nan then folded a paper airplane and let it fly to Lily's bedroom. Tell her that she has something to do today and cannot practice magic with her for the time being.
This is a transformation spell and is not difficult to cast.
In the original work, the Ministry of Magic used it for communication, replacing the owl. Because owls not only shed their feathers, but also **** anytime and anywhere, making the Ministry of Magic a mess. It would be much better to replace it with paper airplanes.
