Chapter 68: Pulling Trees and Dancing

"You're too weak. Grindelwald looked Karl up and down.

Karl opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word of rebuttal for a long time.

Well, you're the big guy, you're awesome, you have the final say.

Grindelwald continued, "So, I'll have to teach you what real magic looks like. ”

Karl immediately came to the spirit.

"Your wand, boy. Grindelwald spread his palms.

"What about yours?" Karl asked curiously.

He didn't have time to ask just now, he didn't think Grindelwald could escape from Newmengard without a wand under Dumbledore's watch.

Hearing this, Grindelwald took one out of his inner pocket and shook it at him.

It was a dark black wooden wand, unremarkable in appearance, and it was clear that it could not be the Elder Wand, which Carl guessed was the one Grindelwald had held before he got it.

"I can't use it, Albus marked it when I escaped, and as soon as I used it, he could find me through it. ”

"You're not going to grab one?" Karl said casually, handing his wand over.

Grindelwald glanced at him, "I'm turning evil from good." ”

I believe you're evil!

Karl rolled his eyes, the old man was still instigating him to kill all the vampires who provoked him, and now he was pretending to be a saint here.

Grindelwald ignored Karl's gaze, he took his wand, played with it in his hand for a while, and spoke:

"Magic is not limited to the ability to cast spells with a wand. ”

"Many wizards are limited by their talents and can't do it without a wand in their lifetime, but that shouldn't include you. ”

"So, from now on, you are not allowed to use a wand until you meet the standards I have requested. ”

In the first two sentences, Carl listened very carefully, and even couldn't help but nod in agreement, but when Grindelwald finished the last sentence, he was dumbfounded.

Excuse me?

"That's what you took my wand for?!"

He also thought that Grindelwald was going to show him some particularly powerful spells.

Grindelwald ignored him, the old man's eyes looked around, and finally pointed to a tree not far away, and said, "Pull out this tree, and the wand will be returned to you." Otherwise, you can say goodbye to it. ”

Karl turned mechanically and looked at the tree in the direction of Grindelwald's finger.

It was winter, and the trees were covered with snow.

Carl's gaze went up from the roots of the tree to the tip of the tree until his neck was too up.

Hehe.

He looked at Grindelwald with no love.

"You're telling me to pull this tree out with just magic?"

"Yes. Grindelwald nodded as a matter of course.

Just then, the crunch of feet on the snow reached Carl's ears, and Jacob pushed his father and led a group of werewolves to the edge of the clearing.

They are followed by the Cullens, Bella, his parents, and even a group of vampires that Carlisle has asked to help.

Seeing the Cullens, Grindelwald seemed to remember something, and added with a smile:

"Or, you can do it with your hands. ”

Karl looked at him stunned and blinked.

MMP!

......

For Carl, the thing he regretted the most at the moment was when he gave his wand to Grindelwald.

"You're not kidding, are you?!"

Carl looked at Grindelwald in disbelief.

If you use a wand, it's just a matter of a spell.

But only by magic......

Magic, not power, of course, not energy.

Force and energy are science, magic is not science.

It's not even like human power.

In fact, magic can't be improved through training at all.

This is also the reason why before he entered the wizarding world, even if he continued to train for many years, he could not significantly enhance his ability.

All the effects of his training were just increasing his proficiency in the use of his own magic.

The Hogwarts Library has a detailed description of wizarding magic.

That's why he didn't bother to train them after he entered Hogwarts, because it was useless.

Theoretically, there is only one way to increase the mana, and that is to increase the mana as the wizard grows older and the body grows.

Therefore, as soon as he was born, the strength of the wizard's future magic power was already fixed.

The wizard's talent directly determines the upper limit of the wizard's future magic level!

So, Hogwarts never had a course dedicated to training young wizards in their magical abilities, because that would just be a waste of time.

Only knowledge can be continuously enhanced through acquired learning, which is why Carl spends his days in the library.

Magic is such an abstract thing that there are even many wizards who doubt that they really exist.

It is contained in the body of the wizard, but it is almost impossible for the wizard to detect it directly, and Carl can detect that it is entirely due to talent.

Not only can magic be used to grasp things, but it can be used in a variety of ways to bewitch people's minds, change physical forms, and even travel through time and space.

Theoretically, wizards can do anything with their magic.

But the power of theories is that most of the time they are always just theories.

Wizards' talents severely limit their own mana levels, as well as their ultimate achievement in terms of mere mana levels.

To put it mildly, Karl asked himself that his magical talent was definitely in the top category, far surpassing the other young wizards at Hogwarts.

However, it is simply difficult for a strong man to pull a towering tree out of the soil by relying solely on his own magic power.

As he grew older, his magic grew stronger, and now, he can even make objects weighing several tons float in the air with his magic alone.

However, the tree that Grindelwald pointed out to him was not a small sapling, it was an American redwood, with a diameter of more than one meter at breast height, and it could not be hugged by a person, and the height was more than fifty meters.

For such a behemoth, the tree alone must weigh twenty or thirty tons, not to mention that it still grows in the soil.

Is it simply impossible to do well?

......

Standing there for half a day, Karl did not take any action.

He wondered if there was something in Grindelwald's words that he didn't understand.

Just like Dumbledore, many bigwigs like to play dumb riddles, and things that can be said directly have to go around in a big circle.

He felt that Grindelwald was guilty of this as well.

However, seeing that Carl hadn't moved for a long time, Grindelwald said, "Looks like you need some power, boy." ”

As he spoke, he waved his wand like a whip.

"Smack!"

There was a crunch.

Carl didn't react at all, and immediately after, a burning pain spread all over his body.

Not somewhere in the body, but all over the body.

"What are you doing?!" Karl exclaimed instinctively.

However, Grindelwald didn't stop there.

Wielding Karl's wand, he twitched several times in a row.

Carl tried his best to dodge, but no matter how much he dodged, he even used the illusion shift.

But when he appears, he is always hit by Grindelwald.

After a few times, he screamed in pain, and his tears almost didn't fall.

Not far away, a group of people were looking at everything in front of them from afar.

They had only just arrived, so they hadn't heard Carl's previous conversation with Grindelwald.

"What are they doing?" Bella whispered to Edward.

"I don't know. Edward shook his head.

"Probably dancing. Carlisle said.

All they saw was Grindelwald waving his wand, which looked like he was waving a baton from a distance.

Carl, on the other hand, was tossing and turning under Grindelwald's command, and it looked a bit like dancing.

Coupled with Carl's phantom shifts from time to time and the howls in his mouth, it even gave birth to a bit of stage effect.

"Shall we join them?" Esme was even a little infected by Karl's howl, and looked at her husband with some excitement.

"Let's see. Carlisle smiled and shook his head.

He also thought the atmosphere was good, but he felt that it was a little rude to rush up.

The voices of several people came from afar, and Carl almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

Nima!
