Chapter 24: The So-Called Curse

"The valve of the small magic furnace only needs to be twisted three times when heating the potion, and you twist it four times here, so the liquid is a little burnt. ”

Hermione pointed to the parchment in front of Link and spoke quickly in the tone of a teacher teaching a student, and then looked at Link with a look of "do you understand?"

At this time, Link's face was already full of astonishment.

He did know that Hermione was very intelligent and studious, and that her knowledge was so great that she was nicknamed Miss Jack-of-all-trades shortly after she entered school.

It's just that...... It's only been a week since Hermione and the others started school, right?

At this point, Hermione had already started her second-year Potions course?

Link was skeptical.

He barely hesitated and blurted out:

"How do you know?"

"I just know!"

Hermione replied with a wink.

But after that, she seemed to realize that her words and actions were inappropriate, and after glaring at Link at the end, she lowered her head and continued to read, ignoring Link.

And Link didn't want to continue to pester Hermione, and after writing down Hermione's statement just now for the sake of safety, he didn't continue to dwell on this issue, but began to study the renewal spell.

It was the first spell he had learned, and it was now the highest-level spell.

Due to the ease of its upgrade, Link made it his first choice after thinking about it.

And his research was an afternoon.

During this time, he looked through many books with relevant knowledge, which caused a small mountain of books to pile up on the table in front of him.

To be honest, this process of learning by reading alone without guidance is actually very difficult and boring.

But Link persevered.

This is not because of how strong Link's perseverance is, but because the information of experience +1 that keeps flashing in front of his eyes gives him the motivation to persevere.

This is not untargeted.

There were a lot of video games in Link's previous life, and there were some BT that broke through the sky, and if you really talk about the level of hard work, learning such a trivial thing can't even compare to their edges and corners.

However, many players who can wear this kind of game are struggling to learn, or even unable to persevere.

This is precisely because those video games can continue to give players positive feedback through the growth of a series of values such as experience, attributes, and equipment during the process of playing.

While there's not a lot of positive feedback on each of these points, don't underestimate them, as they're what keep players entertained and keep playing.

And the +1 message that Link saw was just like this positive feedback mechanism.

At the same time, in the process of learning, it was also very helpful to upgrade the knowledge instilled in him before refilling the mantra.

He only needs to read many basic theories once to understand them instantly, relying on the original knowledge in his head, and this high efficiency allows Link not only to push the experience of refilling the spell to about 50% of lv3 in just one afternoon, but also has a general understanding of the magic system in this world.

As we all know, the so-called magic spells of this world are made up of wands, spells, and magic.

This is a relatively simple and complete set of spell casting procedures that have been summarized over the countless years of development in the wizarding world.

It is thanks to the power of this spellcasting process that a young wizard like Link can easily cast spells.

Normally, except for the kind of powerful wizards who have undergone professional training and can directly skip this set of procedures to cast silent or even wandless spells, ordinary wizards can only cast spells in a step-by-step order.

And in this spellcasting process, the most important thing is magic.

This is the basis of all spells, and it is through the operation of magic in different forms that spells can be unleashed.

The so-called spells and wands are actually just tools that allow mana to be consumed in a fixed way.

After figuring this out, Lincton had a conjecture.

That is, your own renewal spell may not be able to be upgraded in a short period of time.

Because according to the previous theory, if he wants to reach the level of silent or even wandless spellcasting, he must first figure out how the magic of the recharge spell works, and how to accurately control the magic power.

Only by doing both of the above can Link skip the chanting spell and the wand and release the spell directly.

But this is not something that can be done easily, at least with Link's current knowledge reserves, it will never be possible.

He even complained inwardly about why such a simple spell as the Renewal Spell was so difficult.

But in fact, Link knew it in his heart.

What stood in his way now was not the Renewal Spell, but the Silent Spell Casting Technique and the Wandless Spell Casting Technique.

Let's not talk about the ethereal thing like wandless spellcasting, but as far as the skill of silent casting is concerned, professors will generally only teach after the students are promoted to the senior level, which is a real advanced spell casting skill, and it is normal to be more difficult.

And if Link truly cracks the silent spell casting technique of the Renewal Spell, then he will also reap endless benefits.

Because this series of processes will be a valuable experience for him, he will be able to learn other spell silent casting techniques with half the effort.

After slowly accepting this fact, Link put down the book in his hand.

It's dinner time now, and learning this kind of thing is also about state, and with his current state of being tired and hungry, even if he continues to study, he won't make much progress.

With this in mind, Link moved his joints and got up contentedly to go to his meal after hearing a crisp crackling sound.

However, as soon as he got together, he found that Hermione, who was sitting across from him, was still holding a book and looking at it obsessively, without the slightest intention of going to dinner.

This made Link hesitate a little whether to remind Hermione to eat, after all, he didn't really want to deal with the other party in principle, because it would probably involve him in some bad things.

But after thinking about it this way, after seeing Hermione's lips, which had turned white and dry from not eating or drinking for too long, Link finally relented.

I saw that he also took a quill and shook it in front of Hermione, as Hermione did before, and only said when the other party raised his head:

"It's so late, aren't you going to eat?"

"No, I haven't finished reading this book yet. ”

Hermione said without looking up.

Perhaps because she was too tired, her voice sounded a little weak.

This made Link's brow furrow.

"You're a freshman, aren't you? You can't get food after mealtime, do you want to be hungry all night?"

"Thank you for your concern, but can you please leave me alone? I want to finish this book quietly. ”

Hermione seemed to be very upset with Link, the guy who had been beside her and interrupting her studies, and frowned and choked.

And when he heard this, Link was also happy, and his kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, which was really not rewarded.

Shaking his head helplessly, Link left the library straight away, dinner time was almost over, and he didn't want to go hungry because of the entanglement with Hermione.

And after Link left, the empty library became quiet again.

Hermione was alone behind a mountain of books and looked at the Potions Normalisation in her hand, and now she could finally continue reading.

It's just that her attention has never been able to focus on the dense characters in front of her, and countless thoughts are racing in her heart.

If you think about it, isn't what I just said a little excessive? That person was a little annoying, but it was also good for me. ’

Thinking like this, Hermione couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

She sighed softly and looked up at the other side, but Link was long gone.
