"You wouldn't believe it, but after that whole sequence, I'm definitely starting to feel a bit exhausted."

After healing the old one-eyed man, George stood up, pretending to stagger, and barely managed to hold onto Amy, his voice weak as he spoke to the Auror captain:

"Sir, I think I need to go back and rest for a while. Is that okay?"

If he continued to act like everything was fine, it might come off as too extraordinary, even though his previous performance had already been quite exaggerated.

The truth was, his mind wasn't on the situation anymore; he just wanted to hurry home and quickly record the contents of the copied ancient magic book so he could study it properly.

So pretending to be exhausted at this moment seemed rather fitting.

"Of course, take your time to rest. Lina, please accompany Amy and take this young man home. We'll handle things here," the Auror captain replied with a grateful smile, knowing full well who Amy was and her connection with Lina.

Without George's help, they wouldn't have caught the cunning and cruel Dark Wizard, Old One-Eye. It could have led to innocent casualties and possibly a demotion for him.

Inside, he was extremely thankful to George.

Having led the capture of the Dark Wizard Old One-Eye in Paris, he was now certain that a promotion was coming his way.

"Understood, Captain!" Lina said, nodding happily. She walked over to support George along with Amy, heading toward their home.

"Let me carry you."

After walking for a short distance, noticing it was difficult to walk while supporting him and the pace was too slow, Amy simply picked George up in her arms.

For Amy, George's eleven- or twelve-year-old body wasn't particularly heavy.

At this point, everyone was watching. Although it was a bit awkward, George couldn't refuse and had no choice but to let Amy carry him as they made their way home.

"George, what's wrong with you?"

As they passed the destroyed tent, Hermione, accompanied by her parents and the two young witches she had helped save, rushed over.

George signaled for Amy to put him down, smiling as he spoke:

"I'm just a little exhausted after chasing the Dark Wizard earlier. I'll be fine after a short rest.

By the way, Hermione, weren't you in Dijon?"

"Oh, my dad wanted to visit Paris since it's the capital of France, so we decided to come here. I couldn't argue with him, so here we are."

Mr. Granger was momentarily stunned when he heard Hermione's explanation. When had he ever said they were going to Paris? Wasn't it Hermione who insisted on changing their travel plans to come here?

Before he could say anything, his wife shot him a look that immediately silenced him.

"I see. So, where are you staying? If you have time, I could show you around. I've been here for over a month now and know the area quite well."

George didn't mind the conversation and nodded in acknowledgment.

At that moment, Fleur and Gabrielle also thanked George and invited him to dinner at their home. However, George politely declined.

He hadn't realized that the two young witches he had saved were actually the Fleur sisters, who had Veela blood, making them Ron's sisters-in-law.

After bidding farewell to Hermione and Fleur, Amy carried George back to his house, where he lay down on the bed in his small room.

"I'll be fine after resting for a bit. You two should head to the Ministry of Magic. Now is the best time to get that guy to tell the truth—don't miss your chance."

Only after Lina and Amy left would George be able to look at the copied ancient magic book.

Lina nodded in agreement:

"Don't worry. If that old man refuses to speak, I'll make sure he drinks an entire bottle of Veritaserum."

"George, thank you. Really, thank you!"

Amy's eyes were filled with gratitude. She bent down and kissed George on the forehead before leaving with Lina.

In comparison to the Auror captain, Amy felt even more deeply thankful to George.

At first, Amy had thought George was the type of child who acted like a little adult, focused solely on his magical studies, and had little emotional attachment to her as his temporary teacher.

However, she never expected him to go so far for her today—taking the risk of chasing after Old One-Eye alone. Honestly, she was quite moved by his actions.

Indeed, from Amy's perspective, George wasn't the kind of person to get involved in other people's business.

He must have overheard her and Lina's conversation earlier in the magical creatures troupe's tent and, wanting to help, decided to follow them in secret.

And then, pursuing the dangerous Old One-Eye—if it wasn't to clear her name, why would he take such a huge risk?

"After all, you're my teacher. If I can help, I will, but don't take it too seriously."

George wiped his slightly damp forehead, then realized Amy had misunderstood his intentions. He didn't correct her, but instead gave a sincere smile.

"You little charmer, you're so good with words. When you grow up, I can't imagine how many little witches you'll have falling for you."

Amy pinched George's cheek, her eyes a little red. She then stood up, taking Lina with her as they left the room.

Before leaving, Lina gently kissed George on the forehead.

"Thank you for helping Amy."

Once George heard the sound of them leaving the house and heading downstairs, he immediately sat up in bed, drew a small Morgana circle on the floor of his bedroom, and began carefully examining the copied ancient magic book.

He read almost all night, only closing the book with a sigh at dawn.

"So that's how it is!"

This was indeed a book about ancient magic. While it only detailed one lightning spell, it had helped George understand the fundamental difference between ancient and modern magic.

Modern magic relies on a wizard's own bloodline magic as the foundation to cast spells. The power of such magic isn't great, but the speed of casting is incredibly fast.

Ancient magic, however, uses one's bloodline magic as a catalyst to communicate with the natural laws of the world. Through long incantations, the wizard gradually merges with nature, channeling immense natural forces for attacks.

Thus, the power of the spell is immense, but the casting speed is very slow.

The lightning spell that Old One-Eye had cast earlier was an example of ancient magic. It took seven or eight minutes of chanting ancient incantations to communicate with the natural forces within the clouds, causing lightning to repeatedly strike a specific area.

Looking at it from this angle, the mention of ancient magic being able to move mountains in the wild history book Legends of Ancient Magic suddenly made sense.

Human power is limited, but the power of nature is infinite.

Unless one's own magical power exceeds the natural power of the outside world, there's no way a spell cast with one's own magic could rival a spell that taps into natural forces.

This ancient magic book had taken George's understanding of magic to a whole new level.

By the time it was close to noon the next day, Amy and Lina had returned home, both in incredibly good spirits. Through an all-night interrogation, Old One-Eye had confessed to everything. With his testimony, Amy would be reinstated to her position and could return to her duties as an Auror.

Furthermore, Old One-Eye had been sentenced to death for his crimes, and he had been executed that morning.
