Chapter 224: The Essence of Wizard Swordsmanship and the Patronus Charm

"Teacher!"

"Mike!"

Harry and Arthur, who were not far away, reacted almost at the same time and ran towards the two people who fell to the ground.

After a careful inspection, Harry found that Mike was not seriously injured except that his legs were still shaking and his robes were a little dirty, so he breathed a sigh of relief. As for Arthur, he was just about to help his teacher up when he was pushed away by Vesemir.

"Get out! I'm not so old that I can't get up!"

Arthur, who was pushed away, stood aside aggrievedly and watched his teacher struggling to get up. However, the burst of attack just now consumed a lot of Vesemir's physical strength, causing his good leg to still shake until now, and he couldn't get up at all.

Vesemir, who tried several times but failed to get up, cursed Arthur in his heart. He said he didn't need to help him, so he really didn't help him? Generally, shouldn't he hold on a little longer in such a situation?

Vesemir had no choice but to give Arthur a look. However, Arthur did not understand Vesemir's true meaning at all. He thought that the teacher was asking him to get out of here.

So... he took a few steps back.

Vesemir's dark old face turned red, and he roared at Arthur: "Asshole! Come and help me!" "Oh..."     Arthur said "oh" and did not refute. He went forward to help his teacher up with grievance.

The     experience of being with Vesemir for a long time told him that he must not talk too much at this time, otherwise he would definitely be beaten again.     At this time, Mike on the other side finally recovered. He rushed to Vesemir in one step, holding the wooden sword that Vesemir had cut off in his hand and cursed:     "f**k you! *******! You despicable old man only know how to play dirty tricks! You should go to hell! Fuck you..."     Mike cursed so badly that Arthur's face had already turned black, but Mike continued to curse as if he didn't notice it, and had no intention of stopping at all.     He was using swearing to ease his fear. If Vesemir's sword had been a little off, he would have gone to meet the goddess of luck. Of course, he might have been reborn in another world.     After all, he was the lucky boy Mike.     Vesemir was indifferent to his curses. He waited quietly until Mike finished cursing before saying calmly, "Stupid thing! I've taught you for so long, don't you know the true meaning of wizard swordsmanship now?"     Upon hearing this, Mike, who had calmed down a little, became angry again. He raised his fist and was about to rush up to give Vesemir a beating, but was held tightly by Harry and Arthur.     Vesemir, who suddenly lost Arthur's support, almost stumbled and fell to the ground. He was so angry that he hit Mike on the head and roared: "I am really not suitable for this kind of secretive teaching method! You idiot! The essence of wizard swordsmanship is to do everything possible, that is, the more insidious, the better!"     Hearing this, Arthur and Mike were stunned. Arthur looked at his teacher with a puzzled look and said: "That's not right, teacher, you didn't teach me that at the time? I still remember you said..."     Before Arthur finished speaking, Vesemir's fist fell on his head, hitting Arthur and making him squat with his head in his hands. He was cursing while hitting Vesemir.     "You are also a fool, are you a wizard? You are not! You can't shadow-shift! You can't be invisible! You can only chop, chop, chop!..."     While Vesemir was beating Arthur, Mike fell into deep thought.     During this period, Mike's teacher was Arthur rather than Vesemir. All daily training and sparring were done by him and Arthur. Vesemir was a hands-off boss like himself.     Arthur was an upright and kind person with a strong personality charm. Just like his name, Arthur, King Arthur! He was like a sun, giving warmth to those around him. His smile was as diligent and kind as the spring breeze with the fragrance of flowers, making people unable to help but get close to him.     Because of his ability, Arthur completely became the idol of the witches in the factory. From young girls to mothers-in-law, they would dress up and sway in front of Arthur whenever they had the chance. And Mike knew that there were 12 people who confessed to him directly!     Among them, there were also some married women!!     Sometimes when you stay in the sun for a long time, you forget the feeling of the shadow covering your whole body. Unconsciously, Mike was also influenced by Arthur and began to think about being a gentleman.     But now think about it, it seems that I have never been a decent person, right?     In a sense, he and Vesemir seem to be the same kind of people!     The same unscrupulous means, the same unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, the same despicable...     Mike, whose brain has finally turned around, is very excited. He is thinking about new tactical methods.     Vesemir's combo just now is good, and the fluorescent flash of the flash bomb version is also very good. I will go back and study how to integrate it into actual combat. It's great!     And the shadow shifting sword technique is also good. It seems that I have to learn the shadow shifting as soon as possible!     The research on the body spell will also continue. When the time comes, I will directly turn invisible when facing a strong enemy, and then appear behind him and stab him with a sword! Hehe!     ...     Mike became more and more excited as he thought about it, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. Harry, who was standing aside, looked at Mike with a silly smile on his face and Vesemir who was beating up his student, and was a little overwhelmed. It was not     until ten minutes later that Vesemir finally stopped. He was tired. Mike on the other side finally recovered. Seeing Vesemir stop panting, Mike immediately went to him and used Transfiguration to create a recliner for Vesemir to lie down. Then he called Beta, who was always invisible beside him, and asked him to get some cold drinks for his teacher.     "Smelly boy, why are you so nice to me all of a sudden! Do you have any conspiracy?"     "How could it be, teacher! Isn't it normal for students to respect their teachers?"     Vesemir took the iced juice handed over by Beta and moaned comfortably, then said: "If you have something to say, please tell me quickly while I'm in a good mood now!"     "Hehe, then I'll tell you!" Mike's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Do you have any other tricks to trick people? Teach me!"     Mike's second half of the sentence was said in a low voice, basically only Vesemir could hear it.     After hearing this, Vesemir's expression was choked at first, and then replaced with a wretched and treacherous smile.

"Good boy, now you know the true meaning of wizard swordsmanship!"

"I understand, I understand! Isn't the true meaning of wizard swordsmanship dirty? How dirty it is!"

Mike also showed a sly smile on his face when he heard it. The sly smiles of the old and the young complemented each other. Harry, who was not far away, couldn't help rubbing his eyes. He just seemed to see two foxes, one old and one young, grinning...

...

In the following days, Mike stayed in the factory all day to learn the true meaning of swordsmanship from Vesemir. If you don't learn it, you won't know. Once you learn it, Mike found that Vesemir was actually a great Yin coin!

What invisible backstab, teleportation and sneak attack are all basic operations for him!

For Vesemir, there is no dirtiest routine, only dirtier routines!

Harry also started his practice under Mike's leadership. The practice here is not only magic practice, but also physical exercise.

Of course, the purpose of Harry's exercise is not for swordsmanship, but simply to strengthen his body.

Harry was very envious of Mike's muscles. He thought that if he was as strong as Mike, his fat cousin would stop bullying him.

At the beginning, Mike thought that he was just a child with a three-minute enthusiasm and would give up after a few days of practice. After all, physical exercise is much harder than learning spells. Children of Harry's age rarely persist.

But Mike obviously underestimated Harry's resentment towards his cousin. No matter how hard or tired Harry was, he never said he would give up and persisted to the end.

On the other hand, while constantly learning the "true meaning of swordsmanship", Mike was also preparing for the new school year. Mike, who had

read the original book, knew very well that due to Black's escape from prison, the Ministry of Magic would cooperate with Hogwarts and send the guards of Azkaban: Dementors to guard Hogwarts. Dementors

are evil black magic creatures. They wear a rotten cloak all year round, and their whole bodies look like they have been soaked in water and are very ugly.

The horror of them is that they feed on the emotion of happiness. Wherever they pass, all the happy emotions will be sucked away by them. You will remember the most terrible things and feel that everything is boring. And they

also have a big move, "Dementor's Kiss", which uses the mouth hidden under the hood to suck away the human soul, making the sucked person completely become a living dead.

It is precisely because of their ability that Azkaban, where they are stationed, has become the most terrible prison in Europe, because there is no happiness in this prison, only despair.

If you want to deal with them, you need to master a powerful defensive spell; the Patronus Charm!

The spell of the Patronus Charm is "Expediate Patronus", and the trick to release it is to try to make yourself happy when using it to mobilize your positive emotions.

The Patronus Charm is the most famous spell known to wizards, and it is also one of the most powerful defensive spells. This is an extremely complex and difficult spell to cast. It can summon a semi-concrete positive energy, that is, the Patronus.

The biggest function of this positive energy collection called the Patronus is to drive away Dementors and Voldemorts, and these creatures have no other defense.

The inventor of the Patronus Charm is unknown, but this spell has long been associated with wizards who fight for noble causes. Even wizards who can summon physical Patronuses are often promoted to high-ranking officials of the Wizengamot and the Ministry of Magic. People

do this for a reason, because dark wizards cannot use the Patronus Charm.

History has proven countless times that the consequences of dark wizards using the Patronus Charm are that they summon a bunch of maggots to devour the caster bit by bit.

This is exactly the key to Mike's headache.

In his original plan, he should have learned the Patronus Charm, and then recruited a lot of subordinates by teaching others the Patronus Charm.

However, he may not be able to cast the Patronus Charm at all.

Because he really can't be sure whether he is a dark wizard now.

After all, whether in behavior or thought, he is dark.

There are many different reasons why the Patronus Charm can backfire. Mike's guess is that even if he is a dark wizard in name, as long as he has the desire to protect others or has pure and strong positive emotions in other aspects, he can use the Patronus Charm.

Mike's evidence is Snape.

There is no doubt that Snape is a thorough dark wizard in a broad sense. He masters powerful dark magic and has killed many innocent people.

But he can release the Patronus Charm.

To some extent, Mike's conjecture is valid, but he still dare not try it.

He doesn't want to joke with his life!

Fortunately, Mike has a good teacher. When Mike indirectly threw this question to Professor Flitwick, Flitwick gave him a reassuring answer:

the backlash of the Patronus Charm on dark wizards is not simply because they are dark wizards. The Patronus Charm is not a dark wizard discriminator. The reason why those black wizards suffered backlash was that when they used black magic like the killing curse for many years, they were eroded by the negative emotions in black magic. People with weak wills can easily lose themselves under this erosion and become madmen controlled by negative emotions.

This does not mean that black wizards do not have positive emotions, but that the negative energy in their brains is generally much more than the positive energy. The Patronus Charm is essentially an emotional energy amplifier. If you have more positive emotions in your brain, it will release the Patronus Charm. When the positive energy reaches a certain level, it can release the physical version of the Patronus Charm. And if there is too much negative energy, it will be backlashed.

After understanding the reason, Mike finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now he can finally boldly try to practice the Patronus Charm. He thinks he is not a madman with evil thoughts in his mind.

In a secret room in Mike's villa, Mike stood in the middle of the room, and beside him, Shuke and Beta stared at Mike vigilantly. As long as Mike's spell showed any sign of backlash, they would take action.

At this time, Mike closed his eyes and prepared. The trick to releasing the Patronus Charm is to recall happy things to fill his heart with joy.

Mike had a lot of joyful emotions. The first thing that came to his mind was the days when he lived with his family.

But then he shook his head. This was not the happiest thing.

Mike had a clear understanding of himself. He was essentially a selfish person. Although his biggest wish as an orphan since childhood was to have a complete family, this joy was not intense enough.

Then, was it the moment when he succeeded in committing the crime and became rich overnight?

Mike once again rejected this idea.

Suddenly, Mike opened his eyes, and there was a light of joy in his eyes.

He thought of something that happened in the past, something that made his joy reach its peak.

Rebirth!

Of course, what could be more joyful than being reborn after death?

Mike hurriedly closed his eyes, recalling the rainy night of his rebirth, and recalling the ecstasy after his rebirth.

Mike put himself into it, and gradually, his breathing began to become rapid, and his heartbeat became faster and faster.

When the emotion reached its peak, Mike opened his eyes again. There seemed to be a burning flame in his eyes, and the next second, Mike waved his magic wand.

Suddenly, a white light burst out...
