Chapter 166: Standing on the shoulders of predecessors

She is responsible for the three meals a day in these days?

Elena couldn't help but look up and glanced at Grindelwald, laughing secretly in her heart.

Although Gellert Grindelwald's expression and tone were particularly casual, it seemed that after the course requirements were completed, he said something like "remember to close the door at will" or "you need to wash your hands before meals".

Unfortunately, a few decades later, a famous social philosopher in the non-magic world proposed a law. When a person has a bad initial impression and attitude towards something and makes a statement to prove it, the behavior often has different behaviors and attitudes at the beginning.

No matter how Grindelwald conceals it, he cannot completely hide the faint expectation and pleasure that he involuntarily reflected in his tone when he mentioned three meals a day. In fact, no matter what tone he said this sentence, the words between the lines were naturally filled with the words "true fragrance".

"The deal is completed, but I have some requirements."

Elena leaned on the back of the chair, raised her index finger and shook it, and said seriously, "It's okay to listen to your magic, but I have the final say about cooking. We will eat whatever I want."

Anyway, preparing for two people to eat is much easier than eating one person, and it will not actually increase her workload.

But she was not here to be a cook for others. A proud old potato was not qualified to order food in front of her. This must be clear from the beginning.

As for whether Grindelwald is used to eating the dishes, or whether he is willing to eat them, that is not a question that Elena needs to consider. After all, if she really doesn't want to, the first generation of Dark Lord can choose to rub potatoes by hand.

"Besides potatoes, cabbage, bread, bacon... can you create anything else."

Grindelwald couldn't help but sneer. The ingredients Dumbledore left in the castle of Newmongaard were only a little bit, all of which were the most basic food. Even if the girl deliberately made bad things, it would not be strange and difficult to eat - at least it would be better than slowly roasting potatoes with his magic.

"Okay, don't waste your time. Pull out your wand and focus, and you have less than three hours left to learn magic now."

Grindelwald looked up at Elena, with a hint of majesty in her somewhat cloudy eyes, which made Elena recall the elderly director she met when she was in school in her previous life.

"As I said before, spells are an extremely rigorous knowledge, and it is even more dangerous to try casting spells directly beyond the basics."

The old man said, his voice was not loud, but it carried a convincing power. Once he started to involve the realm of magic, Grindelwald seemed to have become a different person, with a brilliance and seriousness shining on his old face.

"First of all, you need to understand that whether it is German, English, French... these vocabulary grammars used for daily communication are not really the medium of spells that we often use. Half of the spells we often use today are the results of wizards from various countries taking inspiration from the ancient Rune texts and gradually evolved and invented. For example..."

Grindelwald said, raised his finger and pointed at the pillow at the head of the bed, and said softly.

"Fliegen (German: Flying in).

The soft pillow was pulled up from the edge of the bed like an invisible line, and passed a parabola and flew into Grindelwald's hand. The next moment, Grindelwald threw the pillow back and read it again.

“Accio (English: Flying in)”.

Just like before, the pillow flying in mid-air was once again pulled back to Grindelwald by the power of the spell. There was no difference between arc, speed, or even position in his hand.

"Look, if you really want to cast spells by memorizing spells, it is much more important to understand what you are saying than remembering how to make a sound. Body movements and thoughts are the key to stimulating the precious things hidden in your body." The old wizard pinched the pillow with one hand, shook at Elena, and explained further.

"By the way, what was the previous sentence?" Elena blinked curiously.

"That was the wizard's flying invasion in Germany, and we all recited it there."

Grindelwald shrugged and grinned, "You shouldn't let the students of Demstrong Magic School learn English before going to school, right? What about those wizards in South America, wizards in Africa and Egypt?"

"But, as far as I know, most foreign wizards also have spells..."

Erin frowned in confusion. In her impression, during the Triumph in the original book, most of the spells cast by students from Dermstrong and Boothbaton were the same as Hogwarts.

"That's right, whether it is the light spell, the obstacle spell, the petrification spell, the disarming spell, the heart-drilling spell, the soul-catching spell, the magic world you are exposed to, many foreign wizards' spells when casting spells are exactly the same as what you are about to learn."

Grindelwald nodded, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"That's because, at least for now, the spells based on the ancient Angro Saxon language system are the most practical and stable. What's more, in the era when the spell exploded hundreds of years ago, the wizards of the ancient English system created most of the mainstream spells today, while also spreading their footprints around the world."

In fact, the earliest magical characters did not have pronunciation. They were more of a description and manifestation of certain phenomena, such as cuneiforms, ancient Rosés, hieroglyphs, etc. - for those wizards living in ancient times, even spells were not the most core element.

However, the emergence of audio spells greatly reduced the energy and time required by the subsequent young wizards on the road of magic exploration. Some ancient magic characters have disappeared, but the pronunciation of the Guruni characters has been preserved intact and has developed more and more vigorously.

In that era when everyone was groping in the dark, the influence that an outstanding wizard could bring was far from being reflected in the power of the world. More importantly, it could give their students more time to pave the way to magic for those who come later.

Hundreds of years ago, nearly a hundred such great wizards emerged in the British magic world in one breath, so that even today, the Rune-like spell interpreted by the Angro Saxon language system is still the mainstream that constitutes the basis for spell casting in the magic world.

Grindelwald paused, looked at Elena meaningfully, and made a nasal voice, "Do you really think that the wizards at your Hogwarts Magic School are far more talented than those in other places? The real reason is actually very simple, because compared to other wizards, there are almost no damn language barriers in learning and understanding spells."

Gu~ Sure enough, I was able to get inspiration after going to the zoo.

Now, I have made up for a lot of the worldview of the magic world, and even magic is confident that I can write it well.
