Chapter 144: Burning Money and Goblin Magic

On the last day of Christmas, Heinrich fought like a mad dog.

He was very gifted with fire magic, and he saw his wand spew out fire bats and fly towards John.

John pursed his lips and raised his hand to turn the stone pier into two large dogs in front of him, and when he saw the opportunity, his wand pointed at Heinrich's feet.

The foot collapsed and Heinrich grabbed the edge before falling.

The uneven wooden thorns pierced into the palms of his hands, and blood slid down Heinrich's palms.

By the time he climbed up, John had already condensed a cloud of water and slammed it down on Heinrich.

The water prison spell trapped Heinrich, the air in his mouth and nose was replaced by water, and a second before fainting, John unraveled the spell.

Heinrich fell to the ground wet and John walked over and pulled him up.

"Your strength has improved a lot." John complimented.

This is not consolation, but Heinrich has improved a lot compared to his time at Durmstrang.

It is also because of John's opponent that his reaction speed and spell level have increased.

The fanaticism in his eyes was like that of a faithful believer, and Heinrich smiled at John, and with that pale and sickly face, there was a sense of sickness.

End the day's workout.

The two separated, and John headed to the Gryffindor common room.

After saying the command, he walked straight inside.

There were many more people in the deserted lounge, and they shared things about the holidays.

Seeing John come in, the lounge fell silent for a moment.

And Crookhill was not surprised, and had already been waiting by the fireplace in the lounge.

When it saw John, it ran over.

John scooped up Crook Hill and reached out to touch his fluffy hair.

Smiled: "You go ahead." ”

With that, he turned to leave.

The people left behind in the Gryffindor lounge looked at each other.

Taking Crookhill outside, John let go of his hand, and Crookhill jumped off and walked away without looking back.

"It's really no mercy at all."

Shaking his head, John said in his heart that so many of his cat strips had been eaten for nothing.

Basil flew over, and it brought a package.

John unwraps the package, revealing a book with dragon skin as the cover.

"It's still Tang Mi who is efficient."

Seeing this old book, John praised it.

He had been searching for traces of ancient magic, and finally saw a second one besides the Blood Spell.

Ancient Goblin Magic

The book that Tang Mi retrieved from Egypt is also thousands of years old.

It's about fairy magic.

In John's eyes, the book has a fluorescent mark on the cover.

The emerald green fluorescence was only visible to him, a mark of ancient magic.

Leprechaun magic was mostly primordial elements, and John reached out to touch the mark.

A memory belonging to a fairy crept into his mind, and John stood there and digested it for three seconds.

"Coin Charm?"

His face was a little strange, recalling what he had just seen.

A fairy holds Galleon in his hand, and the broken vase in front of him repairs itself as Galleon disappears into thin air.

This isn't elemental magic, it's more of a rule magic.

"The more money you give, the more you get." After pondering it, John understood the magic.

A big reason why ancient magic is old is because of some strange rules.

This kind of money transaction is also very interesting, coins that cannot be minted by themselves have to be circulating currency.

After an afternoon of trying to study the book, John finally succeeded in it.

Holding a Galleon, he looked at the shattered cup and cast a coin charm.

Garon vanished into thin air, and the cup in front of him was visibly repaired.

"How do you feel lost?"

Staring at this cup bought at Diagon Alley 10 nat, it cost 1 Gallon to repair it himself, and it seems that he has lost a lot.

I have to say that it has to be a goblin, even if it's magic, it has to be a hidden trick.

Remembering that he had smashed a Quidditch goal, John lifted a bag of Galleons over.

Originally, John wanted to repair it that day, but unfortunately, under his level 4 crushing spell, the damaged things basically couldn't be repaired.

Before anyone else could find out, John arrived at the Quidditch pitch.

There were originally three goals on the left and right sides, and it was like a fork that stood on the pitch.

Now there is only one shot left in one of the three goals on the right.

John walked over and grabbed a few Galleons while using the Coin Charm.

The Garons in his hand disappeared one by one, and at the same time, the goal shattered by the smashing spell was gradually repaired at this time.

Wood chips flew over one by one, and the five Galleons in John's hand were consumed, and the goal was half restored.

John added ten more Galleons and the goal was repaired.

"The repair level is higher than the repair charm."

Looking at the goal that was the same as before the smashing, John was amazed.

If that's the case, does it mean that if you encounter a spell that can't be cured normally, you can also use a coin charm to heal it?

To calm down his excitement a little, John still needs to go through a few more experiments.

However, this coin spell really burned money, and it cost 15 Galleons just to repair a goal.

If it weren't for the big business, I wouldn't have been able to afford it.

It wasn't that he hadn't tried to replace coins with other things, such as gold made from magic crystals, which couldn't be used.

"Value must be given before value can be created."

After understanding, John opened the "Ancient Goblin Magic Record" and read it for a while, in addition to the coin charm, the book also recorded a lightning magic.

John tested it, and the power was considerable, and most importantly, it was very cool.

Closing the book, John walked back to his bedroom with his empty purse and a dark face.

He tried to use the Coin Charm to repair his right hand, but the money was gone, and his right hand was not repaired at all.

"The soul can't be repaired."

John looked at the empty bag again, and couldn't help but curse the elf for being a real pit.

If you can't fix it, forget it, what does it mean that you don't do anything when you collect money?

Sure enough, it was not for nothing that the goblins were beaten by the wizard, just by virtue of their cheating magic, they were not wronged.

...

School has started.

Auditorium.

The students were talking together, and John noticed Daphne staring at him, and he was a little puzzled, and touched his face, but nothing was glued to it.

"John, you...... Is something wrong with you? ”

Daphne hesitated for a moment, but asked the question.

This made John even more wonder what could happen to him.

"I feel like you're not happy eating." Daphne is an observant person.

She had a distinct sense that John was not eating as happily as he had ever been.

She thinks something might have happened to John, could it be something big at Christmas?

It dawned on John that this thing tasted like chewing wax, and he couldn't be happier.

"It's okay, I just haven't had a good appetite lately."

Hearing the words "bad appetite" from John's mouth, Daphne was as shocked as she was to see the Gryffindians being honest.

She looked at the dishes and thought to herself that they must not be to John's liking.

She was determined to make something that would lift John's spirits.

If John knew what she was thinking, he would have told her that your thoughts were dangerous, girl, and that you should stop your Hufflepuff behavior.

In the first class of school, in the divination class, John had already begun to master his foresight.

Touching the crystal ball with both hands, John's eyes were fixed on the crystal ball, trying to see through the clouds inside.

Professor Trelawney was teaching others, and seemed to have given John a perfect score in advance.

The rest of the class John did not forget and answered positively.

From the top of the castle, the Aurors can sometimes be seen searching outside with Dementors.

Sirius seemed to have evaporated from the world, and it was not found outside of Hogsmeade or Hogwarts.

There was no second attack, and some speculated that Sirius might have fallen into the water and drowned as he fled.

In this regard, John can only say that young people have big brains.

Hagrid found a bunch of salamanders, and he didn't feel too cold during class.

John grabbed a salamander and stared into its eyes, which looked like his own?

After looking closely, and finding nothing like it, John put the salamander down.

In the evening, John goes to catch a Dementor for dinner.

Peeling back the cocoon, the curse had turned almost the entire ring black, and John drank the soul-repairing potion, the familiar pain already allowing him to stand still.

Rows of beads of sweat fell from his forehead, and John was a little used to it.

Taking out the map of the living spots, John was a little used to seeing a few Hermiones running around the map from time to time.

Peter Pettigrew was noticed tossing and turning in Ron's bed, and Dumbledore was seen walking back and forth in his office.

Lupin usually spends his time in the office, seemingly busy with something.
