Chapter 145 The Vacation Is Over

The notebook given by Professor McGonagall was actually written by Dumbledore?

When Mike discovered this, he almost jumped up with excitement. As Dumbledore is currently recognized as the strongest white wizard in the wizarding world, there is no need to explain too much about the value of the notebooks written by him.

The excited Mike couldn't wait to flip through the Transfiguration Notes.

This notebook is not thick, and Mike has read the entire notebook after reading it all morning. But what makes Mike disappointed is that this notebook should be Dumbledore's experience notes written when he was studying transfiguration when he was in school. Most of the records in it are the basics of transfiguration, which is not what Mike initially expected. Advanced knowledge.

It can be seen that Dumbledore was definitely a fan of Transfiguration when he was young. In addition to the Transfiguration class notes, his notebook also records many anecdotes about Transfiguration.

For example, the notes clearly record that Transfiguration was actually a crude version of the alchemy spell invented by an alchemist for use in combat and daily life. However, after being supplemented and expanded by countless wizards in later generations, Transfiguration has evolved from alchemy. It was separated from the magic system and became an independent magic subject.

Although this notebook cannot make Mike's strength skyrocket in a short period of time, the many tips recorded in it have also benefited Mike a lot. There are even some training methods that can improve deformation accuracy in the long term.

But these methods require consistent training, and Mike can only take his time.

Compared with the long and steady flow of transfiguration notes, the "Fire Master's Guide" given by Professor Flitwick seems a bit simple and violent.

The series of books "The Fire Master's Guide" were all written by Ace D. Newgate, known in modern times as the Fire Master, with the help of his father Edward Newgate.

Edward Newgate died before the book was published, and Ace Newgate also died a few years after the book was published.

When this book first came out, it caused an uproar in the entire European wizarding world. Although many powerful wizards knew how powerful the fire spell was and often used it in actual combat, no one was willing to use it in actual combat. This knowledge is taught to ordinary wizards.

Therefore, "The Fire Master's Guide" has become a sacred book for ordinary wizards, and both Ace Newgate and his father Edward Newgate were crowned the title of Fire Master.

But if you think that the "Fire Master's Guide" is just a cheap set of civilian benefits, you are totally wrong. In fact, the Newgate family sells the "Fire Master's Guide" at an extremely expensive price, a set of seven books. The total cost is 1000 gold galleons, or 200 gold galleons per copy if you buy them separately.

The Newgate family has made a lot of money from this set of books over the past few decades. Hogwarts discussed with the Newgate family shortly after the book was published to include the "Fire Master's Guide" A library in the school, but was rejected by the Newgate family because doing so would affect sales.

Mike couldn't help but curl his lips after learning about this period of history. That is because the several principals of Hogwarts over the past few hundred years have been relatively gentle. The Te family is probably dead long ago.

But having said that, although it is so expensive, the "Fire Master's Guide" is worth every penny.

This set of books records in detail various variations of the fire spell, including explosive fireballs, incendiary fireballs, etc. that Mike once used.

This set of books gave Mike a lot of inspiration. Before this, Mike was a complete fireball maniac, and he only knew how to shoot fireballs to explode people. But it was only after reading this book that Mike truly understood the art of fire.

The damage that fire can cause is not only burning and explosion. Fire also consumes oxygen while burning. As long as this feature is used well, creatures can enter a state of suffocation.

And when the flame burns, it will also heat the air. The hot air rises and the cold air falls. The interaction between the hot and cold air will form wind, and the wind will intensify the fire. This will form a conscience cycle and infinitely enhance the power of the flame. .

But these are easy to say, but it requires extremely strong control and countless practices to do it. Even though Mike's magic control has made great progress after the Ravenclaw Trial, he still doesn't want to do it. easy.

Mike spent the rest of the Christmas break in the Room of Requirement, practicing the fine control of the fire spell without sleep or food, to the point where he lost track of time.

He didn't realize that Christmas vacation was over until Penelo appeared in front of him.

"Why are you here?" Mike looked at Penello in surprise and asked, "Oh! The Christmas vacation is over, isn't it!"

When Penello saw Mike looking like he didn't know what year it was, he understood what was going on. He sighed and said helplessly: "You started again. You obviously just taught me not to work too hard when practicing magic spells not long ago. Now, But I practiced to the point where I even forgot about time.

Once I leave, you won't even be able to take care of yourself. Judging from your embarrassed look, you must have not eaten on time these past few days. "

Mike rolled his eyes, raised his hand, cleaned up and released, restoring his messy hairstyle and clothes to the way they were before entering the Room of Requirement.

"You're not happy anymore. You didn't come to eat tonight's dinner. Fortunately, I brought some for you." Penello put a few plates of food in front of Mike and said, "Eat quickly, there will be a duel tonight." The first round of the competition is about to begin, and I will have to participate in the competition soon. "

While speaking, Penello's hand stroked his long hair intentionally or unintentionally, revealing the emerald earrings on his ears.

When Mike saw this, he didn't know what Penello meant. Although he was hungry, he couldn't even look at the steaming food on the table. He stepped forward and hugged Penello's waist and said, "I still have eyesight." Not bad, do you still like my Christmas gift?"

Penello did not resist Mike's embrace. He took the ends of his hair and circled them around his fingers as if thinking about it. After a while, he said coquettishly: "Hmm~ It's okay~"

"Hehe, as long as you're satisfied." Mike breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a smile on Penello's face. He returned to the table and started eating hungrily, "I'll take a few bites first, and I'll be with you soon." Go to the arena.”

Penelo didn't say anything more, and came behind Mike with a smile and rubbed Mike's shoulders.

After rubbing Penelli, he seemed to have discovered something. The strength of his hands suddenly increased, and he pinched the tendons on Mike's shoulders and asked sharply: "Where is the scarf I gave you?"
