Chapter 4173 4175 [Traveling Around]

Xiang Nan then settled down on Penglai Island with Lily.

He usually exchanges magical skills with teachers on the island, and occasionally teaches students in Middle-earth.

As the communication deepened, Xiang Nan also gained a better understanding of the Taoism of Central Earth.

Taoism in China is a unique school of its own. Although Chinese and Western cultures began to communicate during the Han Dynasty, and witchcraft from Persia, India, and Greece was gradually introduced to China, Taoism in China still remained relatively independent.

Penglai's history can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, so many ancient Taoist books have been preserved.

Xiang Nan lived in Penglai for two years, reading the Taoist classics preserved in Penglai, and his knowledge reserves and strength were further improved.

For example, he learned spells such as calling the wind and rain, flying sand and rocks, lightning and thunder, and turning beans into soldiers, and it can be said that he benefited a lot.

It's just a pity that in ancient times, the Middle Earth was plagued by frequent wars and unrest, which led to the loss of many ancient Taoist methods. Otherwise, Xiang Nan would have learned more Taoist skills.

Even so, he was already very satisfied.

As the saying goes, learning never ends. Xiang Nan knew that he could not learn all the knowledge in one world. If he could not learn it in this world, it would be the same in the next world.

It is worth mentioning that Penglai retains a lot of the original characteristics of Middle-earth.

For example, its potions class is called alchemy, spells are called magic, divination class is about the Book of Changes, Eight Trigrams, and Plum Blossom Divination, herb class is about the "Shennong Herbal Classic", and protection of magical creatures class is about the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

In addition, students in Penglai do not ride brooms in flying classes, but crutches.

In the Care of Magical Creatures class, we don't learn about unicorns, bowtruckles, or hippogriffs, but instead learn about qilins, zowus, dangkangs, cranes, etc.

While in Penglai, Lily became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan named him August Snape.

……

When August was one year old, Xiang Nan and Lily left Penglai and went to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States.

I stayed there for a while and had academic exchanges with professors of the school.

In fact, the foundation of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is not as profound as that of Hogwarts.

Because this school was only founded in the 17th century, 700 years later than Hogwarts.

However, when Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was first founded, it collaborated with local Indian wizards and thus retained a large amount of Indian witchcraft.

The ancient witchcraft passed down by the Indians has unique insights and quite high achievements in the fields of spells, herbology, and potions.

Therefore, Xiang Nan stayed in Ilvermorny for another half a year, and then the family went to Uagardo in Africa.

There are many differences between the magic of Uagadou and the witchcraft in Europe, Middle-earth and North America.

They inherited a large amount of ancient Egyptian witchcraft and made extraordinary achievements in magic, transfiguration, herbology and alchemy.

It is said that the Alaho, a popular lock-opening spell in the magical world, was invented by an African wizard and was later introduced to Europe in the 17th century.

The wizards of Ugadu are also very good at Transfiguration. Children in grades three and four have already learned Animagus and can easily transform into elephants, lions, cheetahs and other ferocious beasts. It's quite amazing.

In addition, Xiang Nan also learned more techniques of wandless casting.

Because magic wands were only introduced to Ouagadou in the 19th century, before that, African wizards cast spells without wands, so their ability to cast spells without wands is far stronger than that of European wizards.

But then again, a magic wand can better control magic power, consolidate and strengthen the effects of spellcasting, so a magic wand is not completely useless.

The wizards of Uagadou are now accustomed to using wands.

Afterwards, Xiang Nan and his family went to Castrobus in South America. That magic academy preserved a lot of Indian witchcraft knowledge, and the ancient witchcraft preserved by Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was completely different.

Because although they are both called Indians, the Indians in South America and North America have different origins and civilizations.

The Indian civilizations in North America are the Mayan civilization and the Aztec civilization, while the Indian civilization in South America is the Inca civilization. There is a big gap between the three.

Castello Bushe School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has unique strengths in Charms, Potions, Herbology and Protection of Magical Creatures.

The author of the fifth-year Hogwarts textbook "Advanced Potion-Making", Libasho Pollach, graduated from Castrobingie School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Xiang Nan also learned a lot of knowledge there.

……

Then, Xiang Nan and his family went to Beauxbatons in France.

That school is much more beautiful than Hogwarts because it was funded by Nicolas Flamel, and it also has a very impressive historical background.

Especially in the study of spells and alchemy.

However, Xiang Nan was not invited by Beauxbatons, so he used the escapades to sneak into Beauxbatons School of Magic.

After staying in France for a year, Xiang Nan and Lily went to Durmstrang in Eastern Europe and Crestoritz School of Magic in Russia, both of which they entered secretly.

Durmstrang is located in Scandinavia. The school is surrounded by icebergs and snowy rivers, which is very spectacular and beautiful.

This school is famous for its dark magic. The dark wizard Grindelwald and the Death Eater Igor Karkaroff are both from Durmstrang.

Of course, not all Durmstrang wizards are dark wizards. Victor Krum in the Triwizard Tournament is an upright and brave man.

In addition, its ancient magic literature is also very strong. After all, it is the birthplace of ancient runes, which are said to have been created by Odin, the king of the gods.

The Krestoriz School of Magic in Russia is located in the tundra of Western Siberia. It is colder and has a harsher environment than Durmstrang.

This school of magic excels in Charms, Potions, Herbology and Flying.

Because when they learn to fly, they don't use brooms or crutches, nor do they use flying carpets like in the Middle East. Instead, they just grab a big tree and ride on it. It's quite tough.

……

After leaving Russia, Xiang Nan and his family went to West Asia again.

The Shakkul School of Magic in Western Asia is located in an oasis in the vast desert, and its environment is completely different from that of several other schools.

This school of magic excels in Charms, Transfiguration, Potions and Herbology, and they fly on flying carpets.

This means of transportation is much stronger than broomsticks, crutches, and big trees. It can not only carry more people, but is also very comfortable to sit on.

You know, riding a broomstick, a cane, or a tree is very uncomfortable and can easily hurt your crotch, but sitting on a flying carpet is much more comfortable, and you can even lie down.

However, in order to maintain the unique characteristics of the British wizarding world, the British Ministry of Magic strictly prohibited the import of flying carpets, resulting in British wizards having to ride broomsticks.

Xiang Nan suspected that this was the reason why the birth rate of British wizards had always been low. If he were in his place, he would prefer to travel by flying carpet rather than by flying broom.

The last stop, Xiang Nan and his family went to the Khalilabad School of Magic in Tianzhu.

This magic academy is located on the top of a snow-capped mountain. It is surrounded by rolling mountains and the scenery is magnificent.

Khalilabad School of Magic specializes in Charms, Potions, Herbology, and Transfiguration.

Xiang Nan also benefited a lot there.
