Nagoya City, Japan.

Japan is humid and muggy in the middle of summer, and this is especially true of Nagoya as a port city. Nagoya, located between Tokyo and Kyoto, is known as Chukyo. But for Daphany, none of that mattered, and all she cared about was that this was the city with the most wizards in Japan. Japan's largest enchanted street, Hansin Alley, is located in the city. In addition, if you want to go to Japan's magic school, the ship of the magic house on South Iwo Jima also departs from this city.

Daphany didn't plan to go to the magic office, of course, the magic office was also on summer vacation at this time, and she couldn't find anyone when she went.

Daphne's trip was through the introduction of the Meng family to find an old-school Japanese magician.

The so-called old-school refers to the old style. Although Japan has struggled to retain its own magical identity, the wand system has been unstoppably spreading within its borders in recent decades. Nowadays, even in the magic institute, the magic of the wand system is mainly taught. No way, compared to the old-school yin-yang arts, Shishen arts, and even ninjutsu, the magic of the wand system has a huge advantage over the old-school magic in terms of safety and difficulty of learning.

According to some information, the latest two freshmen of the Magic Institute have all studied the wand system. Of course, the Wizardry still retains the old-school magic-related courses, but only as electives, just like classes such as magical beast protection and Muggle protection at Hogwarts.

In the long run, it is impossible to say that in a few decades, traditional Japanese magic will disappear completely.

Although most young Japanese people do not want to see old-school magic, there are still some older people or inheritors of older families who still adhere to the old-school magic. Daphine's trip to Japan is to find one of them, the Zhuxing family.

The Lords' Fortune Family is an old-school Japanese family with the equivalent status of the Longbottom or Porter families in England. It's an old, but not old-fashioned family. The Star Family has produced a well-known figure, the Good Friend of the Stars, a former Japanese Quidditch captain and a batsman. He is a Quidditch Hall of Fame-level batter. His Japanese Quidditch national team finished in the round of 16 this year. However, they lost to Ireland in the 16-8 match.

After the game, Zentomo announced his retirement and became the coach of the Japanese Quidditch national team. At the same time, he is a professor of Quidditch at the Institute of Magic.

At the final retirement press conference, Zentomo introduced his disciple, Masaki Hongo, who is only 12 years old and a second-year student at the Magic Institute, and said that he would be the legendary batsman of the next World Cup.

Daphany doesn't have a good feeling for Japan, but she has a good sense of good friends for the stars. Well, it's mainly because of her good looks, that's right, Zhuxing Friends is a beautiful woman with a peerless style. A unique female batsman at the Quidditch World Cup!

Daphany came to visit the Stars Family, not because of the Stars' good friends, but because she wanted to learn the true magic of words from the Stars Family!

When school starts again, Luna and Little Beauty can be regarded as a big girl. Her aura and spiritual power have also grown to a fairly high level. Without guidance, talent may be wasted. Therefore, Daphany searched everywhere for the cultivation of speech spirits or séances.

The Meng family knows some families in Northeast China who are good at séance. However, all families are passed down from generation to generation, and the Dharma is related to bloodline. Don't say they can't spread it, even if they do, outsiders can't learn it. And the Thai imps are too disgusting and evil, and Daphany doesn't want Luna to get contaminated with those things.

In terms of words, Tibetan Tantra and Japan have related spells, but Tantra is too mysterious, and the Meng family has little intersection. On the Japanese side, they have some connections with the stars who are good at speech and spirit. So Daphine brought a letter from the old man of the Meng family and came to visit.

Unlike European and American magic families, most of whom build mansions on the outskirts of the city or simply in the mountains. Japan is so small that most of the magicians' residences are located in cities. It's just that it's hidden with a special space folding charm, and it's just that the magicians can't find their mansion at all.

Daphany wasn't proficient in mansion-level space folding spells, so it took a lot of effort to find a place.

That's for a mid-range community. It's all the kind of pigeon houses that are very common in Japan. Two or three floors, but the area of the position is usually only sixty or seventy square meters. There is a small yard where you can dry clothes, which is not small, but it looks weird from the outside.

The Mansion of the Stars that Daphany was looking for was in this neighborhood, between the two courtyards.

The courtyard walls are less than two meters high, and there are canals in front of the two courtyard walls. It's narrow, less than a meter wide, thanks to Daphany being slender enough to pass easily. Daphany walked to the drain of a canal. That drain looked like it hadn't run in a long time, and it was covered with dry rust. There was a little moss in it, and there was a relief of an unknown imp on it.

Daphany nodded in satisfaction, and tapped the imp with her wand. The relief turned out to be twisted. Immediately after, the spout grew larger in Daphany's eyes. Not just the water outlet, but everything around it is getting bigger and bigger.

What a powerful space warp! Daphne was secretly speechless. If it weren't for the fact that she clearly felt that there was no magic effect on her body, Daphany even suspected that it was not the things around her that had become bigger, but that she had become smaller!

Looking at the water pipe in front of her, which was already enough for the Tyrannosaurus Rex to pass through, Daphany slowly raised her leg and bought it. When the second foot is bought, everything around you changes instantly. Daphany appeared in front of a very large mansion.

The exterior wall of the mansion is blue bricks and red tiles, and there is a spirit squatting on both sides of the door that Daphany has never seen, as if the original atmosphere and solemnity of the mansion add a bit of paradox.

The vermilion lacquer door of the mansion, the copper nails the size of a teacup on the door are shining, and there are two large gold lacquer characters on the plaque on the top of the door - stars. The handwriting is Chinese, and Daphany has long heard that in Japan, in the ancient family, the basic plaques are in Chinese. It's true when I saw it today!

Daphany was standing in the square in front of the mansion. Faintly visible buildings in the courtyard of the mansion, all of which are painted with flying beams and antique spires. Old friends Chinese network

Daphine hooked the corners of her mouth and slowly stepped forward. I was about to lock the door, but I saw the door slowly open inward. Inside the door stood a little elf with a green face and fangs more than two feet tall, looking at Daphany with a puzzled expression, and Gilly croaked in a long line of Japanese.

"I don't speak Japanese, can you speak Chinese or English?" Daphany asked with a smile in English, the imp looking dazed. Daphany changed to Chinese and said it again, and the elf was suddenly surprised.

"Tang Wen, yes, it can be said. You, what a person! The little ghost asked in Chinese, which is not very fluent.

Daphany took out the letter of introduction from her arms and the letter of introduction that the old man of the Meng family had helped write and handed it to the little elf.

Old Man Meng's letter of introduction has a special picture and text on the letter, which is the mark of the Meng family.

The little elf obviously recognized the mark of the Meng family, and when he saw the letter of introduction, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "My lord, it's rude!" Wait, please! As he spoke, he hurriedly let Daphany in, but instead of entering the mansion directly, he asked her to wait in the porter's room.

In Daphany's astonished gaze, the elf handed the letter of introduction to a squirrel, and the pine tree jumped out into the yard with the letter in his mouth. The elf eagerly poured tea for Daphany.

Japanese tea is somewhat similar to Chinese tea, but it's more messy. Dafanie took a sip and felt a good taste.

Daphine waited only a moment, and a middle-aged man came out of the inner house briskly and walked towards it. Walk into the porter and nod slightly to Daphany, "Hello, Miss Lestranzi." I'm Zhuxing Shanhe, and I'm glad to have you here. "The middle-aged man speaks English and is very fluent. But the tone is a bit weird, which is the case with most Japanese people. However, compared to South Korea, which is equivalent to developing a new language, Japan is not bad~

"I am also honored to be able to visit the oldest magic family in Japan." Daphany also pretended to say.

The middle-aged Zhuxing Shanhe invited Daphany into the main hall and let the spirit in charge of serving serve tea and snacks. Daphany can see that those spirits are equivalent to European house-elves, but they obviously don't have the magic of house-elves, and they can do some chores.

The purpose of Daphne's visit has been informed in advance by the Meng family and the Zhuxing family. As one of the oldest magic families in Japan, the Stars family has a lot of wonderful magical inheritances, some of which will never be passed on. If Daphany wanted to ask for secret methods such as Yin-Yang Technique and Shishen Sacrifice Alchemy, even if it was the face of the Meng family, it would definitely not work. However, if it is just a spirit that is barely considered a big road, then it is okay to give the Meng family and the Lestranzi family, a veteran European family, a face.

Regarding this point, the Zhuxing family had already discussed and reached a consensus as early as the first letter from the Meng family. So when Daphany actually visited, there were no twists and turns. Daphine was given a scroll with a universal spirit and two practical spirits.

It wasn't until I visited the Zhuxing family that I really understood the spirit of words.

There are two main categories of speech, general speech and practical speech.

The general class is a speech spirit that has no practical use, such as the fake speech spirit that Daphany taught to Qiu, but in fact it is a general speech spirit exclusive to Qiu. There is no practical use, not that there is no use. It's that their purpose is not specific. For example, it increases mental power and mana output for a short time. Or chanting for a long time can continue to increase mana, improve physique and increase soul power.

Practical spirits, on the other hand, have a practical purpose, much like magic in general. Use specific syllables to achieve certain magical effects.

The scroll given to Daphine by the Stars Family, the universal spirit recorded on it, can comprehensively improve the effect of magic casting. Similar to the Sibbe word that Daphany made up. But the spirit of this statement has real effect. As long as the constitution is suitable for the spirit of words, chanting this spirit of words can increase the effect of spellcasting. Daphine gave it a try, and given that she wasn't psychic, it didn't work well for her, but she could still feel the subtle effect.

Well, it's really subtle, if it weren't for the fact that Daphany is very sensitive to mental power and magic power, she would hardly feel it. The actual effect is to increase the acuity of mental power, making it easier to manipulate magic power.

Two practical words are simple.

One is confinement. As the name suggests, the effect imprisons the target. The actual effect depends on the caster's ability. Zenwa Zhuxing showed off and threw a boulder into the air with magic. Then imprisoned with words and spirits, that boulder was suspended in the air!

Daphany also tried, only to make one pigeon pause slightly, and once again confirmed that Daphany did not have a psychic constitution. This time, though, Daphany didn't understand the principle of the word.

The other one is even more powerful, which is the flash!

This magic is a bit like the apparition manifestation that Daphany has already mastered, but it is faster and more precise in landing. There is nothing dangerous about it. However, the disadvantages are also very obvious, the distance is very close. Daphany tried, but could only flicker within a radius of five meters, which was better than moving at high speed with magic. However, according to Zhuxing Shanhe, if this spirit reaches the extreme, the effective radius can be as high as five hundred meters.

Perfect for battle!

Daphany gave her judgment. The syllables are short, so they don't have to be matched with a wand. These are all advantages. However, the physical requirements are too demanding.
