Chapter 4123 Chapter 4125 [Guardian Charm]
Every day after that, Xiang Nan would spend two hours practicing magic duels with Lily.
They cast several simple spells that they knew, such as obstacle spell, disarming spell, stun spell, confusion spell, repel spell, levitating spell, iron armor spell, freezing spell, etc. to duel.
Although these spells are not difficult, many of them can only be learned in the first or second grade. But as the saying goes, don't be afraid of a thousand tricks, but be afraid of one new trick. Magic spells like the Disarming Curse can also have miraculous effects if used properly.
Because wandless spellcasting is a very advanced spellcasting skill, few people in the British wizarding world can master it. Therefore, once they lose their wands, most wizards will immediately lose their fighting power.
Therefore, although the disarming spell is simple, it is very practical.
Through such frequent practice, Lily's spell-casting skills and combat experience are rapidly improving.
…
In addition to reading books and practicing magic, Xiang Nan is also secretly practicing the Patronus Charm and Apparition.
The Patronus Charm is a very powerful spell that can summon a Patronus to defend against dark magical creatures such as Dementors, Voldebats, Wraiths, Ghosts, and Ghouls.
There are very few people in the wizarding world who can cast the Patronus Charm, and even adult wizards may not be able to cast it.
Harry Potter was already a genius when he learned the Patronus Charm in his third year. He took the OWLS exam in fifth grade, cast the Patronus Charm, and even received high praise from the invigilator.
Moreover, dark wizards cannot cast the Patronus Spell because their hearts are dark, so when casting the Patronus Spell representing light, it can easily lead to backfire.
There was once a dark wizard who cast the Patronus Charm, and countless maggots spurted out from the top of his wand, eating the dark wizard alive.
In the magical world of "Harry Potter", black magic must be driven by the negative emotions of hatred, killing, and resentment. Therefore, the more black magic is used, the more depraved a person becomes.
This is true for Voldemort, Bellatrix, Barty Crouch Jr., Fenrir Greyback, etc.
Although Xiang Nan knows a lot of black magic knowledge, he is not a dark wizard himself. Because he only studied black magic knowledge but never used black magic, his soul did not fall.
Unlike those dark wizards, who study and use evil, vicious, and filthy black magic all day long, so that their hearts are full of dark, vicious, and cruel thoughts. That's why they are prone to backfire when they cast the Patronus Charm.
To cast the Patron Saint Spell, you need to concentrate and think about happy things. The more focused you are and the happier your thoughts are, the more condensed the released Patron Saint will be, and it can even be transformed into a physical Patron Saint.
Xiang Nan already knew the spells and casting techniques of the Patron Saint Curse, so he began to practice this magic. He also wanted to see what his Patron Saint looked like.
Xiang Nan took a deep breath, concentrated his thoughts, and then recalled his happiest memory in his mind.
To be honest, there are quite a lot of these memories.
Xiang Nan tried his best to recall these beautiful memories, and then shouted the mantra, "Calling the gods to protect~"
Seeing wisps of silver gas spraying out from the tip of his wand, Xiang Nan did not dare to relax and continued to concentrate on recalling the beautiful and happy memories. This may be difficult for other wizards, but for Xiang Nan, it is a piece of cake to concentrate on thinking about happy things.
Because practicing any internal skill requires concentration. Xiang Nan has successfully cultivated his inner strength. Even if the mountains collapse, the earth cracks, lightning flashes, and thunder, there is no way he can shake his state of mind.
Therefore, with his efforts, the silver gas spit out more and more, and finally condensed into an entity.
"Is this... a bat?" Xiang Nan looked at the patron saint flying around in the house with its wings fluttering, and couldn't help but said speechlessly, "This is really not cool at all."
He thought he could summon a dragon, but a cat, a dog, a magpie, a lion, or the goshawk, the symbol of Ravenclaw, would also be good. But it's actually a bat, which is really not up to par.
"It's no wonder, Snape's image is like a bat." Xiang Nan recalled the original work of "Harry Potter" and described Snape many times as being like a bat. So it's no surprise that his patron saint is a bat.
Fortunately, the power of the patron saint is almost the same and will not change depending on the form of the patron saint.
The one with the strongest record of a patron saint in history was even a patron saint in the form of a mouse. It drove away hundreds of dementors at once and protected the safety of the entire village.
Therefore, the form of the patron saint is not important, in fact, they are all the same in use.
…
After practicing the Patronus Charm, Xiang Nan began to practice "Apparition" again.
According to the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, only wizards who are over seventeen years old can receive "Apparition" training, and only after passing the Ministry of Magic's assessment can they obtain the "Apparition" certificate.
The reason for this is that there is a certain danger in Apparition. Once the spell fails, it can easily lead to limb separation, serious injury or even death.
And Apparition can easily expose the existence of the magical world. Because if the phantom appears in the crowd and is witnessed by everyone, it will easily cause panic.
Therefore, only wizards who are over seventeen years old, who have been trained by the Ministry of Magic and obtained an Apparition certificate, are allowed to Apparate. Just like people taking a driver's license test now, you are only allowed to drive on the road after getting a driver's license.
Of course, rules are meant to be broken, and Xiang Nan is not prepared to follow them. For him, the sooner he learned to apparate, the better.
Because Apparition is the only way to travel and escape. As long as the spell is successfully cast, you can quickly teleport from one place to another.
The distance can be long or short, and wizards with advanced magic can even achieve intercontinental teleportation. Teleport from Europe to America, from America to Asia, from Asia to Africa...
However, intercontinental phantom apparition is quite difficult. It is already quite remarkable for an average wizard to be able to teleport hundreds of kilometers. Many wizards can't even teleport from one end of a room to the other.
Xiang Nan has read books related to "Apparition" before, such as "Frequently Asked Questions and Answers about Apparition", "Key Points to Note on Apparation", "How to Quickly Learn Apparation", etc.
There is already considerable knowledge of this spell. He knew that when casting this spell, he must pay attention to the "three D principles", namely goal, determination, and calmness (the English initials of the three words are all D).
The first step: focus on your goal; the second step, determine to occupy the space you want; the third step, spin on the spot, let yourself enter the void state, and move calmly...
