Chapter 18 The Burning Witch
Two cups of ice cream floated slowly over from the counter as Florin snapped his fingers. One of them happened to be the strawberry sundae that Wright had just ordered, and the other looked like a simple milk ice cream.
"This cup is yours, this cup is Felicia's." Florin directed the two cups of ice cream to be placed on the table, the sundae was placed in front of Wright, and the smaller cup filled with milk ice cream was placed on the table. He jumped in front of Felicia who had just jumped from Wright's arms onto the table.
"Cool! This is simply the most wonderful floating spell I have ever seen! No one!" Wright looked at Florin's silent and wandless spell with some envy. Although it was just a simple floating spell, it was really cool. !
"It's nothing!" Florin said slightly proudly, and he scooped another mouthful of ice cream into his mouth. "As long as you can practice this magic every day like me, I believe it won't be long before you can achieve this level!"
"Besides that, are there any key tips?" Wright also took a big spoonful of the strawberry sundae in the cup. The pink ice cream was wrapped in some fresh strawberry pulp, and the top was topped with golden crushed peanuts. Wright put the spoon into his mouth, and the delicate and fresh taste made Wright feel happy instantly.
After buying the first-grade textbooks from Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, Wright naturally read through those textbooks. The memory enhanced by the shadow energy allowed Wright to quickly and roughly remember the contents recorded in the textbook, but unfortunately the textbook could not bring any practical experience to people.
Although Wright can now cast the levitating spell smoothly, he still has to rely on spells and wands to complete the casting. But the time it took to make the thing levitate with a wand and a spell was enough for Wright to use shadow energy to lift the thing several times! If you could master wandless and silent casting, there would not be so much wasted efficiency.
"There are no shortcuts in practicing magic spells!" Florin frowned, but soon relaxed, "But if it's just a floating spell, I still have a little bit of experience."
"What is it?" Wright immediately put down the spoon in his hand and looked at Florin expectantly.
"Ahem!" Florin made a fist and put it to his mouth and coughed lightly, "Remember that trick, wave it, shake it!"
Wright nodded expressionlessly, and then began to eat the sundae.
"What's wrong? Aren't my jokes funny?" Florin said awkwardly.
"Yes, it's quite boring! You just repeated it according to what was written in the textbook!" Wright raised his head and said indifferently.
"Ah!" Florin scratched his head and deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, "I thought you hadn't read the textbook! It turns out that you even memorized what was written in the book."
Wright looked at Florin's poor acting skills with some helplessness. Although the owner of the ice cream shop was really quite good, he was just too childish sometimes.
"I think we talked about the weird Wendelin yesterday, right?" Florin quickly changed the topic when he saw Wright's look.
"Yes, you have already talked about her first forty-six arrests before." Wright said, "Today you should talk about Wendelin's forty-seventh arrest."
Wright had some impression of this witch named Weird Wendelin. It came from a time when he was eating chocolate frogs and he opened the card of Weird Wendelin. This witch who lived in the Middle Ages had disguised herself in various ways and deliberately let her captors catch her forty-seven times.
According to the description on the Chocolate Frog card, Weirdlin enjoyed the feeling of being tied to a stake and burning, which she felt would bring her great pleasure. However, the above only briefly described Wendelin's experience without going through it in detail. But Florin knew all this very well. He had already told Wright most of Wendelin's stories a few days ago.
"Well, yes, weird Wendelin." Florin stuffed a mouthful of strawberry ice cream into his mouth. The cold feeling made him shiver involuntarily. After a while, he slowly said, "If you want me to say, There must be something wrong with this witch's mind. Although the Fire Condensation Spell can help her avoid the damage of the fire, it is not the reason why she has teased those people so many times, and after so many arrests, those who arrested her. People are also aware of her problem.”
"Then what?" Wright asked. To be honest, he was still very interested in the specific experiences of these ancient figures.
"Then when she was captured for the 47th time, the Muggles on the capture team sent Wendelin to the church and handed it over to 'professionals' to deal with." Florin said, and Wright could hear him. Aversion to the word 'professional'.
Is this “professional” talking about those in the church? Wright thought in his mind. But before he could ask Florin, Florin continued to speak.
"Then, Wendelin was burned completely by the flames under the radiance of the Lord of Muggles!" Considering his time with Wright during this period, Florin also realized that Wright was not the kind of person who could simply use Children are judged by their age, so Florin did not say the statement widely circulated in the wizarding world.
In that account, Wendeling escaped successfully after being captured forty-seventh time. But at this time, Florin revealed a crueler and more real outcome.
"What about the Fire Condensation Spell?" Wright didn't show any surprise at the result. People who seek death will always be killed by themselves one day, and he is not surprised by this.
"Fire-Condensing Spell?" Florin said with a half-smile, "Wendelin's magical ability is not strong enough to cast the Fire-Condensing Curse in the church, not to mention her wand was broken and her mouth was gagged. "
Wright nodded understandingly, so there was no doubt.
"So Wright, what do you think the story of Weird Wendelin tells us?" Florin suddenly asked Wright.
This was Florin's history teacher's customary question time, and it had been the same on several previous occasions. Every time Florin and Wright finished telling a historical story that happened in the Middle Ages, they would ask Wright some questions. Sometimes they ask Wright what he thinks, and sometimes they ask what experience Wright can learn from it.
"Hmm..." Wright pondered for a while.
"The story of Weird Wendelin tells us that being a wizard has no future, and being a paladin is the only way to survive!" Wright said slowly, "In other words, the kind of wizard who purely outputs spells has no future. Wizards! The point is Life and stamina, skill block, charge, beheading, armor piercing, all of them are maxed out, and a fluorescent spell is enough.”
Florin was dumbfounded. He felt that he might not be able to keep up with the trend of the times. Why couldn't he understand a word of what this child just said?
Wright couldn't help laughing when he saw Florin's appearance at this time.
