Chapter 4056 4058 [Sword Control Technique]

"You must concentrate and not be distracted, otherwise the magic will be ineffective." Xiang Nan said when he saw this.

Lily nodded and tried again.

By noon, she was able to make stones fly, which was quite rapid progress.

"Very good, you have learned very well." Xiang Nan clapped his hands and laughed, "Lily, you are really talented."

"Severus, you taught me well." Lily waved her hand and smiled. Without Xiang Nan's careful teaching, she would not have made such rapid progress.

"You're welcome." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "But remember, as a wizard, try not to show off your magic in front of Muggles. Especially after you enter school, otherwise you may be expelled from school, your wand may be taken away, and you may even be imprisoned in Azkaban prison."

"Azkaban Prison?" Lily asked in surprise.

"Yes, it is a prison built on the sea, guarded by Dementors. It is very difficult to get out once you are locked up in." Xiang Nan nodded.

"What are Dementors?" Lily asked curiously again.

“It is a dark magical creature with a very scary appearance, wearing a black cloak and with dry hands, like a floating corpse rotten by water.

They feed on people's happiness. Wherever they go, they will suck all the joy and make people fall into terror, depression and sadness.

Moreover, it has the most powerful move, the Dementor's Kiss, which sucks out a person's soul. At that time, the person will become a soulless walking corpse. "Xiang Nan explained.

After hearing this, Lily's eyes widened in fear. She had never expected that there were such horrible monsters in the world. It was 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 easily." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

Lily nodded.

……

At night, after his parents fell asleep, Xiang Nan used his Qinggong skills to come to London.

Cokeworth is located in central England, in the Derwent Valley industrial area.

From the 18th to the 19th century, this place was a world-famous cotton textile industrial area.

But by the mid-twentieth century, the British textile industry was gradually replaced by emerging markets, and Cokeworth, a traditional textile center, gradually fell into decline, resulting in the unemployment of a large number of textile workers.

Tobias Snape was one of them.

The city of Cokeworth is 113 miles (186 kilometers) away from London, and with Xiang Nan's lightness skills, he arrived there in less than two hours.

After arriving in London, Xiang Nan used disguise to change his appearance, turning himself into a man in his forties, and then 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 thirty entertainment centers of all sizes in the city, with an annual turnover of 15 billion pounds, ranking fifth in the world.

The main reason why Xiang Nan came here was to make some money.

He doesn't care about money. Whether he is rich or poor, it's all fine for him.

Moreover, he had no intention of helping Tobias Snape escape poverty, because he believed that a father who only knew how to commit 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-wielding technique therein.

The art of sword-controlling is about flying a sword across the heavens and earth. It is one of the spells he most wants to learn.

After all, flying is the dream of every mortal.

In ancient Chinese mythology, many immortals knew how to wield swords. For example, Guangchengzi was proficient in the art of playing chess and swords and once refined the Dan sword by the Dinghu Lake; Lu Dongbin, holding a pure Yang sword, slayed demons and monsters and was invincible; Zhang Daoling, who learned from Taishang Laojun, also passed down the Sanwu Xiezhe Male and Female Sword...

If you want to practice the art of swordsmanship, you must first have a good sword in your hand.

Fortunately, Xiang Nan has a good sword in his hand. It is the "Rabbit Gallbladder Sword" made by Emperor Qianlong, which he got as a reward from the world of "Farewell My Concubine".

This sword witnessed the fate of Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou. After Xiang Nan completed the task, Duan Xiaolou gave it to him. It is extremely sharp and can cut iron like mud. Cheng Dieyi died under this sword.

However, the Rabbit Gall Sword still needs to be refined into a flying sword before he can continue to practice sword-wielding techniques.

In order to turn the Rabbit Gallbladder Sword into a flying sword, he also needed some alchemical raw materials to carve talismans and magic arrays. These obviously cost money.

So Xiang Nan had to come to London to earn some money to buy alchemical raw materials.

……

After Xiang Nan entered the casino, he used his only two pounds to buy two chips.

These two pounds were his only pocket money, and he had never been willing to spend them. Now they finally came in handy.

When doing business in entertainment cities, no matter how big the donation is, they will not give small amounts. Millions or tens of millions of dollars are not too much, and a few pounds or a few pence are not too little.

After Xiang Nan got the two chips, he played roulette first and chose a single number with a payout of thirty-five. The two chips immediately became seventy chips. Then he bet on two more numbers with a payout of seventeen. The seventy chips immediately became more than one thousand one hundred.

Afterwards, Xiang Nan played blackjack and Texas Hold'em... In less than two hours, the two pounds had turned into one hundred thousand pounds, a huge increase of fifty thousand times.

Xiang Nan decided to stop while he was ahead, and immediately exchanged his chips, left the casino and returned home. Two hours later, he ran back to Spider's Tail Alley from London.

It was half past six 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, Irene 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 Irene.

Irene nodded and didn't object.

"Is she Robin Evans' daughter?" Tobias Snape suddenly asked.

"Yes, Dad, do you know them?" Xiang Nan asked doubtfully.

"He used to be an engineer in our factory. Damn it, we workers are out of work, but engineers like him are still able to live well." Tobias complained, "You little bastard, if you can catch his daughter, it will be considered revenge for me."

When Xiang Nan heard this, he rolled his eyes speechlessly.

But he was thankful that Tobias didn't stop him from going to Diagon Alley.

After all, he never liked his wife and son mentioning magic in front of him, and he didn't like them going to Diagon Alley, because they had to spend money every time they went there.

He felt that the money was wasted and it would be better to buy him a few more bottles of wine.

……

Xiang Nan then folded a paper airplane and flew it to Lily's bedroom, telling her that he had something to do today and could not practice magic with her for the time being.

This is a transformation spell and is not difficult to cast.

In the original book, the Ministry of Magic used it to communicate, replacing owls. Because owls not only shed feathers, but also poop everywhere, making the Ministry of Magic a mess, so it was much better to replace them with paper airplanes.
