Save the Bachelor of Heaven
Chapter 4056 4058 [Sword Controlling Technique]
"You must concentrate and not be distracted, otherwise the magic will fail." Xiang Nan said.
Lily nodded and tried again.
By noon, she could already make the stone fly, and her progress was quite fast.
"Not bad, you learned very well." Xiang Nan clapped his hands and laughed, "Lily, you are really talented."
"Severus, you taught well." Lily waved her hand and laughed. Without Xiang Nan's careful teaching, she would not have improved so fast.
"You're welcome." Xiang Nan smiled, "But remember, as a wizard, try not to show off magic in front of Muggles. Especially after entering school, otherwise, you may be expelled from school, your wand will be taken back, and you may even be imprisoned in Azkaban."
"Azkaban Prison?" Lily said in surprise.
"Yes, it is a prison built on the sea, guarded by Dementors. It is difficult to get out once you are locked in." Xiang Nan nodded.
"What is a Dementor?" Lily asked curiously again.
"It is a dark magical creature with a very scary appearance. It wears a black cloak and has dry hands, like a floating corpse soaked in water.
They feed on people's happiness. Wherever they pass, they will absorb all the joy and make people fall into terror, depression and sadness.
In addition, it has the strongest move, 'Dementor's Kiss', which is to suck out people's souls. At that time, people will become a soulless walking corpse." Xiang Nan explained.
Lily's eyes widened in fear after hearing this. She didn't expect that there are such terrifying monsters in the world. It's simply shocking.
"But you don't have to worry too much. As long as you abide by the law, you will not be imprisoned in Azkaban casually." Xiang Nan smiled.
Lily nodded.
...
At night, after his parents fell asleep, Xiang Nan performed Qinggong and came to London.
Cokeworth is located in central England and belongs to the Derwent Valley Industrial Zone.
From the 18th to the 19th century, this place was a world-famous cotton textile industrial zone.
But by the mid-twentieth century, the British textile industry was gradually replaced by emerging markets, and the traditional textile town of Cokeworth gradually fell into decline, which led to the unemployment of a large number of textile workers.
Tobias Snape was one of them.
Cokeworth is 113 miles (186 kilometers) away from London. With Xiang Nan's light work, he arrived in less than two hours.
After arriving in London, Xiang Nan immediately used the disguise technique to change his appearance and turned himself into a man in his forties, and then he came to an entertainment city.
Although London's entertainment industry is not as well-known as Macau, Monaco, Atlantic City, and Las Vegas, its entertainment industry is actually quite developed.
There are more than 30 entertainment cities of all sizes in the city, with an annual business scale of 15 billion pounds, ranking fifth in the world.
The main reason why Xiang Nan came here was to make some money.
He didn't care about money. Whether he was rich or poor, he could live.
Moreover, he didn't intend to help Tobias Snape get rid of poverty, because he thought that such a father who only knew domestic violence was not worth his help.
However, after getting the "True Explanation of the Five Elements Taoism", Xiang Nan wanted to learn the sword-controlling technique in it.
The sword-controlling technique is about flying with a sword, and it is one of the magics he wants to learn the most.
After all, flying into the sky and hiding in the ground is the dream of every mortal.
In ancient Chinese myths and legends, many immortals can control the sword.
For example, Guangchengzi, who is proficient in the art of chess and sword, once refined the Dan sword by the Dinghu Lake; Lu Dongbin, holding a pure Yang sword, slayed demons and demons, and was invincible; Zhang Daoling, who was taught by Taishang Laojun, also passed down the Sanwu Zhanxie Male and Female Sword...
And if you want to practice the sword-controlling technique, you must first have a good sword in your hand.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan really has a good sword in his hand. That is the reward he got from the world of "Farewell My Concubine", the "Rabbit Gallbladder Sword" made by Emperor Qianlong.
This sword once witnessed a bad relationship between Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou. After Xiang Nan completed the task, Duan Xiaolou gave it to him. It was extremely sharp and could cut iron like mud. Cheng Dieyi died under this sword.
However, the Rabbit Gallbladder Sword still needed to be refined and turned into a flying sword before he could continue to practice the sword-controlling technique.
To turn the Rabbit Gallbladder Sword into a flying sword, he also needed some alchemical raw materials for engraving talismans and magic arrays. And these obviously cost money.
So Xiang Nan had to come to London to make some money to buy alchemical raw materials.
…
After Xiang Nan entered the entertainment city, he bought two chips with his only two pounds.
These two pounds were his only pocket money, and he had never been willing to spend them. Now they finally came in handy.
And the entertainment city has always been a business that does not give small amounts. Millions or tens of millions of huge sums are not too much, and a few pounds or a few pence are not too little.
After Xiang Nan took the two chips, he played roulette first, choosing a single number with a payout of thirty-five, and the two chips suddenly became seventy chips; then he bet on two more numbers, with a payout of seventeen, and the seventy chips suddenly became more than one thousand and one hundred.
Afterwards, Xiang Nan played blackjack and Texas Hold'em... In less than two hours, two pounds had turned into one hundred thousand pounds, a huge increase of fifty thousand times.
Xiang Nan stopped when he saw that he was ahead, and immediately exchanged chips, left the casino and returned home. Two hours later, he ran back to Spider's End from London.
It was half past six at this time, and his parents were still asleep.
Xiang Nan secretly hid the money, then lay down on the bed and took a nap.
At seven o'clock, Eileen Prince got up to make breakfast. At eight o'clock, Xiang Nan was woken up by her and got up to have breakfast together.
"Mom, Lily is going to Diagon Alley later. She forgot to buy a quill, ink and parchment. I want to go with her." Xiang Nan said to Eileen.
Eileen nodded and did not object.
"Is it Robin Evans' daughter?" Tobias Snape suddenly asked.
"Yes, Dad, do you know their family?" Xiang Nan asked in confusion.
"He was an engineer in our factory. Damn, we workers are unemployed, but these engineers can still live well." Tobias complained, "Smelly boy, if you can chase his daughter, it can be regarded as revenge for me."
Xiang Nan rolled his eyes speechlessly when he heard it.
But he was very glad that Tobias did not stop him from going to Diagon Alley.
After all, he never liked his wife and son to mention magic in front of him, and he didn't like them to go to Diagon Alley. Because every time he went, he had to spend money.
He felt that the money was wasted, so he might as well buy him a few more bottles of wine.
…
Xiang Nan then folded a paper airplane and flew it to Lily's bedroom. He told her that he had something to do today and could not accompany her to practice magic for the time being.
This is a transformation spell, which is not difficult to perform.
In the original book, the Ministry of Magic used it for communication, replacing owls. Because owls not only shed feathers, but also poop anytime and anywhere, making the Ministry of Magic a mess, it is much better to replace it with paper airplanes.
