Chapter 6 The First Magic Skill
Mary's hesitation is that transfiguration itself is magic and has lethality.
And William Li is just a six-year-old child, and he may hurt others or himself if he is not careful.
so!
If you want her to agree, you must resolve her hesitant points.
Thinking!
"show me!"
William Li pretended to be a child who couldn't wait, and took advantage of Mary's moment of hesitation to directly take the elementary standard spell from her hand.
After simply flipping through two pages, he pretended to be ignorant and said, "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration? I like this one! But I still need a wand? Should I go to the wand shop that my mother just mentioned to buy the wand?"
I have to mention it here.
In the magic world, the wand is a very important thing. If magic is compared to a stone, then the wand is equivalent to a slingshot. Only with a slingshot can the stones fly out.
Of course, if you don't have a slingshot, you can throw the stones as far as the slingshot with your bare hands, but the difficulty is not something that ordinary people can do!
And this is his little plan.
Doesn’t Mary think that transfiguration is magic and has lethality, and that children might harm others or themselves when learning it?
Then William Li reminded him that even if there was a spell, it would be useless. When a wizard releases magic, he needs a wand. Without a wand, it cannot be released, so there is no problem in letting him read this book.
In this way, Mary will naturally not stop it anymore!
Just as he expected!
Immediately, Mary was also awakened.
Yes!
This book is good at teaching spells, but without a wand, unless you master the advanced skill of wandless spellcasting, it will be impossible to cast it.
But the advanced skill of wandless spellcasting was beyond the ability of even her and even most adult wizards, let alone a child.
Only some of the top wizards in the wizarding world, such as Snape and Dumbledore, or wizards who specialize in a certain magic, can cast that magic without a wand.
But to practice a magic to that level is extremely difficult, and definitely not something a child can achieve!
Under such circumstances, there seems to be no problem in letting William Li read this book, right?
Mary, who had the answer, did not hesitate any longer and said with a smile, "This is a book about magic, and if you want to use the magic in it, you must have a wand!"
"However, according to the rules of the wizarding world, you can only have a wand after you are eleven years old!"
"So, you have no problem reading this book, but you can't have a wand!"
"oh!"
After a hint of undetectable joy flashed in William Li's eyes, he showed a look of surprise on the surface, and said obediently, "Then I'll just read the book!"
Without a wand, casting magic is indeed a problem.
But for him, this is not a problem!
As long as there is enough convolution value, wouldn't it be over if you can add skills to cast spells without a wand?
This is why he mentioned that you can't cast spells without a wand.
If he couldn't cast spells without a wand, he would never bother himself by mentioning it.
And said.
He also lowered his head and started to flip through the book, ready to study quickly!
At this time, Mary smiled and said, "Baby, let's buy this book back and read it slowly!"
They came to Diagon Alley this time. If William Li reads here, they, as adults, can only accompany him. But Flourish and Blotts Bookstore is not a fun place. If they accompany him, it will be a waste of time.
"Okay!" William Li responded quickly after hearing this.
It’s obviously better to buy it and take a look at it later!
And after that!
Mary took William Li to the cashier, put the book on the table, and said, "Hello, I want this book!"
"Okay, I'll charge you one gold galleon!" the staff said, packaging the book.
Mary took out a gold coin from her pocket and placed it on the table.
Immediately, the staff collected the gold coins and gave the packed books to Mary.
Mary handed it to William Li smoothly.
William Li also held the book happily.
"gold?"
At this time, Li Wenhua on the side looked at the currency Mary just gave him, but he was a little curious.
Mary heard this and explained, "This is gold Galleons, a currency unique to the magic world. All consumption in the magic world must be done with this currency!"
"Oh!" Li Wenhua suddenly realized.
But then!
He asked curiously again, "Can Ying Pound be exchanged for this thing?"
"Of course, you can exchange it for five pounds!" Mary responded casually.
Five pounds?
In an instant, Li Wenhua's eyes lit up.
Although he has not checked it out and does not know what the specific price of gold is now, he knows that no matter how much five pounds you pay, you will never be able to buy one gram, not to mention that one gold coin looks like it has more than one gram!
If you could exchange five pounds for a gold coin and then sell it outside, wouldn't you make a fortune?
Thinking of this, Li Wenhua became more and more excited.
Immediately, he couldn't wait to say, "Where can I change it? I want to change it?"
As soon as these words came out!
Mary immediately explained, "This thing can be exchanged in the white building called Gringotts at the end of the street. Gringotts is the bank of the wizarding world!"
After a pause, she showed a half-smiling expression again, as if she had seen through everything, and said, "However, if you want to exchange Ying pounds for gold galleons, and then take it outside to exchange, I advise you to die. Get this idea!”
"Well"
Li Wenhua scratched his head in embarrassment when his thoughts were read, and then asked curiously, "Why?"
Mary smiled and explained, "First of all, under normal circumstances, gold galleons and cherry pounds cannot be exchanged for each other!"
"The reason why I mentioned that the five-pound pound can be exchanged for gold galleons is because Hogwarts, Gringotts, and the Ministry of Magic discussed each other and provided it specifically to some Muggles, that is, ordinary people who do not have the currency of the wizarding world and need it. Currency is exchanged by the little wizards who buy books!”
"Furthermore, this is not infinitely redeemable. It can only be exchanged for a maximum of one hundred gold galleons a year, and it can be provided until the student graduates from Hogwarts!"
"Finally, you don't think this thing is pure gold, do you?"
At the end of the sentence, Mary showed a joking expression.
"Isn't it pure gold?" Li Wenhua asked doubtfully.
"of course not!"
Mary smiled and said, "This thing is just a bit of gold, mixed with magic. If you sell it for five pounds each, you won't even lose money!"
"oh!"
Li Wenhua suddenly realized.
After that, Mary added another sentence and said sternly, "Although the outside world in the magic world doesn't know, it is not completely cut off from the outside world. Every year, many young wizards from ordinary people enter, so the bottom of the magic world may not know about the outside world. situation, but the higher-ups probably know the general situation of the outside world!”
"Among them, they know everything about the price of gold!"
After saying that, she paused and joked, "After all, there are a lot of people like you who want to speculate every year!"
Hearing this, Li Wenhua's face couldn't help but turn red.
Li William, who was on the side, also showed a look of surprise when he heard this.
Anyone who has read Harry Potter will have an idea. If one gold galleung is exchanged for five British pounds, then if you exchange the money for gold galleons and then sell it, wouldn't you make a lot of money?
After all, if Galleons were made of gold, then one Galleons would seem to be worth more than five pounds!
William Li once had such an idea.
Now he knew that this idea was not feasible.
However, if you think about it, you will know that although the magic world is isolated from the world, they are not all fools. How could they leave such a big bug?
Moreover!
Young wizards of Muggle origin enter the magical world every year. If such a big bug had been discovered long ago, how could it remain until now?
Then, the three of them left the bookstore and started shopping again.
——
That night!
William Li also returned home.
The first thing I did when I got home was to go back to my room and open the Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration and read it.
After a long time!
There is an extra column in his skill list.
