Chapter 18: Ancient Passage? The first demonstration of Apparition!
Just when Professor McGonagall was regretting her attitude towards Ciel just now, Ciel was pulled away by the goblin Bashi and began to Apparate.
The space before my eyes began to twist and change, and the scenery moved away like a spiral.
In just a moment, Ciel found himself outside the familiar St. Mungo's Hospital.
But to his surprise, compared with Professor McGonagall's Apparition, the goblin Bashi's Apparition was obviously much smoother.
During the Apparition process, Ciel was concentrating on staring at the distorted space the whole time, but the dizziness was not as strong as Professor McGonagall's Apparition.
After landing, Charles did not feel dizzy, but just swayed slightly before standing firmly on the spot.
This made Charles' eyes light up in surprise, and he began to believe that the fairy's Apparition was indeed different from the wizard's version.
Regardless of their performance in other areas, goblins are clearly much stronger than wizards in the field of Apparition.
At this moment, a deep blue prompt sounded, confirming this as well.
"Host has obtained reference materials. The deduction points required for the first deduction of Apparition have been reduced by 3000 points."
Excitement surged in Charles' heart.
Although the 3000 points were not much, Ciel had already observed Professor McGonagall's Apparition several times before, and he would not be able to reduce the points if he continued to observe.
But now observing the fairy's apparition, it can still be reduced!
You know, Professor McGonagall, as the vice-president of Hogwarts and a master in the field of Transfiguration, is definitely one of the top wizards.
Her magical attainments are beyond the reach of ordinary wizards.
But this goblin Bashi in front of him couldn’t be the only genius among the goblins, right?
No matter how you look at it, she's just an ordinary fairy.
But even such an ordinary being can use Apparition beyond Professor McGonagall's limit, which is enough to prove that the goblins' version of Apparition seems to be really different from that of wizards.
Charles showed a curious look on his face and asked the fairy Bashi excitedly.
"Wow, I was Apparated here by Professor McGonagall before, my god, it was like being stuffed into a toilet bowl."
"But this time, Mr. Bashi, your Apparition was much smoother!"
The fairy Bashi said with a look of superiority on his face.
"Of course. How can a wizard's Apparition compare to our goblins'?"
"Haha, even the spell of Apparition was copied by wizards from us goblins, but it was just a poor copy."
"Pirated products cannot beat genuine products."
"Not only is our Apparition more stable, but it also far exceeds that of wizards in terms of distance and stability. We can also easily go to places that wizards cannot go to."
Immediately, the fairy Bashi pulled Charles to show it to him.
With a loud bang, a huge stone statue appeared in front of Charles in the wilderness.
Next, there are rocks where the sea and sky meet, and in the distance, you can seem to see a cloudy island.
Countless scenes flashed by in each apparition.
During this period, Charles also gradually found out from the goblin Bashi what the difference was between the Apparition of goblins and wizards.
According to the goblin Bashi, the reason for the smoothness, accuracy, distance, and even the fact that one can pass while the other is forbidden, is that the wizard and the goblin do not Apparate through the same channel.
If the goblins' Apparition is like riding a train on a railway, the road is very wide and smooth.
The wizards imitated this principle and built a narrower and more rugged mountain path for themselves, and they stumbled along in their carriages.
Then the effects will naturally be very different.
Moreover, the blocking spell against Apparition could block the "mountain path" built by the wizards themselves, but it was powerless to stop the "railway" taken by the goblins.
This is why even the Sealing Spell set by Voldemort could not prevent an elderly house-elf from Apparating.
After hearing the information extracted from the fairy Bashi, Charles suddenly realized something, and most of his doubts about Apparition were cleared up.
However, another question becomes increasingly prominent.
That is the space passage or other name that wizards use when they Apparate. It is built by wizards themselves. So what about the one that fairies use?
When Charles asked the fairy Bashi, Bashi looked at him as if he was an idiot.
"Of course it is innate. This ancient passage has always existed in this world since the birth of this world, before the birth of the goblin race."
"It's just that you wizards are not talented enough to use it. Only noble fairies can do it. This is a talent we are born with!"
"If you must use your human words, you should understand that this passage is a gift from God."
Listening to Bashi's words, Charles' pupils shrank slightly.
This so-called passage has existed in the world since the birth of the world, before the birth of the fairy race.
The goblin Bashi even called it a gift from God?
He seemed to have heard this argument somewhere before.
Charles remembered that when he was abducted to the basement by Dark, Dark had muttered something frantically.
In his murmurs, he mentioned that some of the things left behind by the Old Ones, who once ruled this world in ancient times, have always existed in this world, but wizards and other races regard them as innate and ignore them.
Pursuing these things and delving into ancient history, we will discover that there have been so many great beings in this world.
Those incredible magics, tracing back to their origins, are all related to these great beings.
So, is this passage, which is regarded as a "God-given" passage by the fairies, the same as well?
Such thoughts flashed through Charles' mind, but he quickly suppressed them.
This is not something he is capable of thinking about now.
The first priority is to improve your own strength with peace of mind. Even if the era of the Old Ones mentioned by Dark will return, as long as you are strong enough by then, the Old Ones can be skewered and roasted!
The next moment, Charles was brought back to the door of Gringotts by the goblin Bashi.
The goblin Bashi said goodbye to Charles happily, saying that Charles was the most polite, intelligent and visionary little wizard he had ever seen.
"Mr. Ciel, you will definitely make a lot of money in the future and own an underground vault in Gringotts that will be passed down from generation to generation."
"When the time comes, I will definitely help you get a vault with the best location."
In response to the fairy Bashi's blessing, Charles showed a meaningful smile.
"Really? I will definitely go into the underground vault of Gringotts one day."
After all, there are so many good things in the underground vault of Gringotts.
Compared to this, the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts is nothing but a pile of junk, save for the Ravenclaw diadem.
How can the things that students regard as treasures and dangerous items compare with the vision of a magic family with an underground vault?
What is stored here are the most precious treasures in the entire magical world.
Hufflepuff's gold cup is just one of them.
Charles believed that among the collections of those ancient magic families, there might be items more precious than the golden cup.
If you could loot the underground vault of Gringotts, your deduction points would definitely explode.
Even without mentioning anything else, the mountains of magical gold Galleons piled up in Gringotts alone can provide an astronomical number of deduction points.
But these are all later stories. Charles' attention is now focused on the Deep Blue System.
After observing the goblin's Apparition several times, the number of deduction points required for the first deduction of Apparition was finally reduced to a range he could accept.
Ten thousand points!
If we make a second deduction on this basis, it is estimated to be 50,000 points. The points Charles has on hand are not far away, so he can make up the number by adding them together.
And even if it is the first time to deduce it, the benefits that Apparition will bring to Ciel will be huge.
At least you can run away if you encounter danger!
So after a moment, Charles said decisively in his mind.
"Deep Blue, deduce the Apparition for me!"
