NOVEL NEXT Chapter 096
Chapter 96: Upgrade plants.
There are many ways to kill people, and there is no need for Leonard to use ancient magic to kill people.
Since Professor Flitwick knows about ancient magic, there is no need for Leonard to use ancient magic to do bad things, otherwise people will recognize him.
”Let’s move on to the curse thing.”
Professor Flitwick didn’t seem to want to mention ancient magic. After the excitement calmed down, he stopped mentioning it and brought the topic back.
There must be some secret in it.
But Professor Flitwick didn’t want to mention it. There is nothing we can do. The topic returns to the floating spell.
”To make a person lose the ability to resist, most people are accustomed to using curses. Most people use this kind of curses to cast spells slowly. This is an opportunity.”
Professor Flitwick gave an example.
”The floating spell is the simplest spell. If you hit the opponent with the floating spell faster at the moment the opponent casts the spell, you can interrupt the opponent’s spellcasting and defeat him with other magic while the opponent is at a loss.”
Leonard suddenly understood and nodded.
Indeed, he had no time to react to Professor Flitwick’s levitating spell.
”Similar to the flying spell, in short, when using magic, don’t always think about using magic to knock down the opponent. You also need to pay attention to the effect and coordination.”
Professor Flitwick said
”There are also ways to cast spells”
”Is there anything noteworthy about the way the spell is cast?”
Leonard asked
”Of course, you may not realize that what really works when casting a spell is the magic power in the body, not magic tricks and gestures.”
Professor Flitwick put down his wand and pointed at the teacup.
”Wingardim Leviosa.”
The teacup floated again, and then slowly put it down.
Professor Flitwick picked up the wand again. This time he did not chant a spell, but waved the wand gently. The teacup floated again.
”Gestures and spells are not necessary, they are just a guide for beginners to make it easier for them to use magic.”
Professor Flitwick picked up the teacup in the air and took a sip.
”Is that silent casting and wandless casting?”
Leonard asked
”That’s right, but I’m not showing you how to learn it right away. I’m just explaining the function of the technique.”
Professor Flitwick explained
”Use streamlined techniques and spells to shorten the casting time, which will make you more effective during the battle,”
Professor Flitwick concluded.
”Generally speaking, that’s it. How to use it depends on yourself. If you still don’t understand anything, you can ask me.”
”That professor.”
Leonard plans to test it out.
”What about ancient magic?…”
”It’s not that I don’t want to teach ancient magic, it’s that I can’t teach it. It’s like it’s engraved in my bones, and I don’t even understand it myself.”
Professor Flitwick shook his head.
”However, there are many traces of ancient magic in Hogwarts. If you are interested, you can look for it yourself and you may find something.”
”So if I find anything, can I share it with you?”
Leonard asked
”Don’t share with me, if you really want to share with someone I suggest you go to Dumbledore.”
Professor Flitwick said seriously
”Ancient magic was no small thing, and it was best kept unknown to anyone but the likes of Dumbledore.”
Sounds no problem, and even gave a reasonable explanation. It seems that Professor Flitwick has no intention of coveting this kind of power. But tell Dumbledore······
Dumbledore is a good man, but if he really showed the aggression of this ancient magic, he might be”trained” to deal with Voldemort, right?
Leonard doesn’t want to be reduced to a tool man.
As for what Professor Flitwick would say to Dumbledore, that doesn’t matter. Leonard didn’t show any understanding of ancient magic anyway. However, Professor Flitwick’s statement was a bit strange. He
clearly pointed out that ancient magic belonged to wizards, but Flitwick Professor Levi is a goblin.
What happened to his ancient magic?
After bidding farewell to Professor Flitwick, Leonard, who had planned to go to Professor McGonagall to become familiar with him, was in a mixed mood.
After thinking for a moment, Leonard decided to go to the botanical garden, plant the mandrake rhizomes, and apply fertilizer along the way.
In addition, Gray sent the first batch of magical animal materials that Leonard needed, and Midgard prepared the blood and scales of the fire dragon. It’s time to upgrade the plants in the botanical garden…… after an hour.
Leonard, who had been wearing the Disillusionment Curse and deliberately avoided the Acromantula territory, came to the junction of the Forbidden Forest and the swamp. Following the path hidden by thorns, Leonard entered the botanical garden.
The bitter thorns on the outside have grown weak thorn strips. After feeling Leonard’s approach, they all shook their thorns frantically to welcome Leonard’s arrival.
As a bodyguard on the perimeter, Leonard put more fertilizer on these bitter thorns. Seeing them convulsing with joy, Leonard smiled, touched each one and said hello before walking into the east side of the botanical garden.
Here, near a swamp, aconite and biting cabbage grow in the moist soil.
Aconitum seeds come from strengthened Aconitum fruits, and only Aconitum fruits will be grown. This is a special supply from Midgard. Leonard plans to send one to Midgard every month in the future.
Biting cabbage is an ordinary magical plant that only has its root system strengthened. The reason why its growth is not optimized is to choose a strengthening direction that better suits your needs after obtaining the seeds.
However, one of the biting cabbages swallowed the venom of the Acromantula after using Devour, which allows the seeds produced by the biting cabbage to carry the venom of the Acromantula no matter which direction it chooses to strengthen.
He died immediately after taking one bite, and the main character is a maniac.
There were also two biting cabbage. Leonard thought for a moment and took something out of the pocket next to him. A small cup of dragon’s blood.
Leonard plans to feed one of the biting cabbages the dragon’s blood.
According to Leonard’s prediction, the biting cabbage that has swallowed the dragon’s blood is likely to have the ability to breathe fire, and when it self-destructs, its power will be even more insane.
After paying a small drop of dragon blood, Leonard turned around and took out a stack of dragon scales.
He fed these dragon scales to half of the bitter thorns, and fed one of the bitter thorns the venom of the Acromantula.
As a guard of the botanical garden, Leonard did not dare to feed these bitter thorns dragon blood. This gave them the ability to breathe fire. If an enemy invaded, it would be better if they did not take action. If they did, they might destroy the botanical garden.
So using dragon scales can probably increase the defense of these bitter thorns. This is the safest method.
The venom was given because Leonard wanted to get more experience. As for why he only gave it to one, it was because Leonard didn’t want these bitter thorns to kill people. The only bitter thorn strengthened by Acromantula venom was located in the innermost part.
Because these plants have not grown yet, they cannot provide experience points to Leonard. Only when they mature can Leonard harvest a wave of plants.
Just like farmers who cultivate in spring and harvest in autumn. But the two long-term tasks of the botanical garden do not require waiting for the plants to mature.
