Focus your consciousness on the bookshelf, think about moving the target, and let the thought fill your whole body from your brain.

Aaron's body vanished instantly from the spot, reappearing next to the bookshelf. His first Apparition was perfect.

Perhaps due to his experience, he did not feel any discomfort, nor did he have the urge to S.P.E.W. that a beginner would have.

On the contrary, he even liked the feeling, finding it particularly exciting, and immediately decided to switch targets.

Aaron looked out the window; moonlight shone on the lawn outside.

He was staying in a room on the top floor of the castle and wanted to experience what it would feel like to jump from the Seventh Floor.

But just as he was about to test it, he felt a strange resistance and couldn't use Apparition at all.

"Depend on!"

Aaron patted his forehead.

Almost forgot, Gaius Castle was also enchanted with a spell that prevents Apparition.

Apart from Jeans and the elders in the family who have authorization, no one else can use this magic here.

In other words, he had absolute right to use this bedroom; otherwise, he wouldn't even have had the opportunity to conduct the experiment.

Although somewhat regretful, after calming down, Aaron decided to keep the magic a secret from his family, keeping it a trump card known only to himself and Abei.

Not only that, he also tried to keep his advancement to Magus a secret as much as possible.

Because this is too exaggerated. A twelve-year-old High-level Mage can be described as a genius, rare, and therefore acceptable.

A twelve-year-old Magus is rare, though not unprecedented. They are all extraordinary talents who have left a lasting mark on history.

The future is promising, that's true. But if an enemy, like Voldemort, knew he had such a talent, he would probably spare no expense to take his life the first time he refused to recruit him.

If such a monstrous creature cannot be used for one's own purposes, then it must absolutely not be allowed to grow, as it poses too great a threat.

Aaron took a deep breath to calm himself down, then turned his attention back to the shop interface.

You have 383 Magic Points left, so you need to spend them wisely.

Material Category and Item Category can be ruled out for now; these Sickle be useful, but he doesn't need them for the time being.

He couldn't afford the Magic Category Transfiguration, he already knew the Levitation Charm, and the Apparition option was empty and needed to be refreshed, so the only options left were the Water-Repelling Charm and the Patronus Charm.

After hesitating for a moment, Aaron cast Water-Repelling Charm, and a week's worth of Magic Points were spent.

He doesn't care at all; he can breathe freely underwater, ignoring water pressure, which means the ocean is not a forbidden zone for him either.

As long as he has enough Magic Points, he can even walk on the seabed.

Of course, this is all on the premise that those ocean giants won't swallow him whole.

As for the final Patronus Charm, it put Aaron in a dilemma, as he had some understanding of this magic.

Drawing inspiration from hope and joy, one can summon a unique silver-colored animal-shaped Patronus, which can be considered a form of extraordinary magic.

The Patronus Charm possesses powerful defensive capabilities and is particularly effective against Dementor, Magical Creatures that feed on fear.

Besides this, Patronus also have other functions. High-level Patronus can speak and can be used as messengers between Warlock.

However, most Warlock are unable to cast this spell. Some Warlock, lacking the ability, can only summon a ball of silvery steam, which has pitifully weak defensive power.

Aaron was conflicted because, on the one hand, he was indeed somewhat envious, and on the other hand, he felt that he had the ability to learn this spell.

He has no shortage of talent, nor does he lack happy memories. As long as someone teaches him, he can definitely master this extraordinary magic in a short period of time.

Apparition requires eight weeks' Magic Points, while Patronus Charm only requires two weeks, indicating that it is not too difficult and there is no need to spend two weeks' Magic Points.

Having figured this out, Aaron shook his head and simply turned his attention to the empty product display.

I gritted my teeth and started refreshing.

One Magic Points is used at a time, which determines whether to refresh a single item, a single type of item, or all items.

Without a doubt, refreshing once or twice is the least cost-effective option. However, he had already spent nearly three thousand Magic Points that night, so refreshing once or twice wouldn't be a big deal.

First, Aaron replaced the Levitation Charm, which was even more of an eyesore than those empty railings.

After inserting a Magic Points, a new Magic Category item appeared on the screen.

@Dragon Language (100 Magic Points. As the name suggests, this is the language of dragons. After learning it, you can communicate with dragons.)

After reading the introduction, Aaron turned his head and glanced at Abei, who was lying on the bed, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

While this skill might seem useless, it does have a slight effect.

After all, he only has one dragon, and being able to speak dragon language can greatly improve his understanding with Abei, making their future teamwork much more efficient.

You could say it's useful, but it's also really not very useful.

Although Abei was a bit mischievous, he was 100% loyal to him. Although he couldn't understand Abei's words, they didn't need to communicate; a single glance was enough for them to understand each other.

But he was also reluctant to give up just like that.

This skill allows it to better understand Abei's needs and better take care of its emotions.

"Sigh! It's tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw it away!" Aaron sighed. "System, isn't this Dragon Language too expensive?"

If you could offer a slightly lower price, I might place an order.

"Dragon Language is an extremely rare, obscure, and difficult-to-understand language. In the eyes of those dragon tamers, it is a priceless treasure, enough to make them pay any price."

The host only needs one hundred Magic Points to learn this foreign language, which is definitely a huge bargain.

Aaron:...

Is it that I'm ungrateful?

"But this foreign language is really not very useful to me; it's the kind of language that's neither here nor there."

"It's just a facade, it's purely a facade," the system said righteously. "In the Magic World, every skill has its own special use."

Most skills are interconnected. For example, Warlock who knows the Levitation Charm will find it easier to learn Flight magic, and Warlock who knows the Iron Armor Charm will find it easier to learn its advanced spell Protego Maxima.

Aaron was stunned for a moment. This explanation was flawless and logically sound.

But he couldn't think of any other uses for the Dragon Language. Besides, the flow of energy wasn't a form of control. What if he encountered a violent and dangerous Dragon, like the Hungarian Horntail Dragon?

Even if you beg it not to kill you, it will still give you face. At most, it will try to control the heat when using Dragon Breath so that you don't die too painfully.

"So, besides fluency, what other benefits does this foreign language offer?"

I understand that everything in the online store is a one -Hammer transaction with no after-sales service and no returns.

But since it appeared in the product list, the system has an obligation to explain it clearly to me, the host!

One hundred Magic Points is no small amount; if I don't Sign-in at Hogwarts, I'll have to save up for an entire vacation to accumulate that many.

The system paused slightly before explaining, "This is a one-time exception; there will be no next time."

This is also to explain to the host the fairness and rationality of the system store. Any further questions will require a consultation fee of one Magic Points.

"Of course, that's to be expected," Aaron said seriously, but inwardly he was thinking, "What a shrewd businessman, an absolute shrewd businessman."

"No business is without its tricks; this shows absolutely no respect for consumers. Thumbs down."

"The Patronus Charm can summon Patronus, but the vast majority of Patronus are ordinary animals. Only a very few Warlock can summon Fantastic Beasts as Patronus."

It is conceivable that the power of a special Patronus would be even greater.

If the host learns Dragon Language, then they will have the power to summon the Patronus dragon.

Aaron couldn't help but gasp; he admitted he was somewhat tempted.

Dragon Patronus! Just thinking about it is so cool.

"And then there are the Animagus," the system continued. "Warlock's Animagus is related to their personality, and different personalities correspond to different animals."

But those are all ordinary animals. If they were to transform into Magical Creatures, there would be a great risk that they might never be able to turn back into humans, and their rational consciousness would gradually be replaced by wildness.

However, once the host learns Dragon Language, their Animagus will become a risk-free dragon, capable of flight, using Dragon Breath, and possessing powerful defense and attack capabilities.

Hearing this, Aaron's eyes shone even brighter, but he was still somewhat puzzled.

"Isn't everyone's Animagus only one type?"

If I don't learn Dragon Language, will my Animagus be fixed?

"This system needs to be corrected; it's based on a flawed concept."

Transfiguration is a profound form of magic, not a single spell.

A Potions maker cannot concoct Potions without a recipe, and a master of Transfiguration cannot possibly understand all the secrets of this magic.

Furthermore, Animagus is exceptionally difficult to learn and carries considerable risk. It's already quite an achievement for an average Warlock to master one type of Animagus, let alone have the time to study another.

Even if research is conducted, without the corresponding race's language, it's difficult to experimentally create a second Animagus, and over time, this will lead to a misconception.

"So that's how it is." Aaron murmured. He knew he had to keep the magic that could turn him into a dragon hidden and only use it as a last resort, otherwise it would cause unnecessary trouble.

"Besides this, there are other benefits."

Dragons are not as hostile towards Warlock who have learned Dragon Language; at least they won't start a killing spree on the first encounter.

"No need for explanation, just buy it." Aaron said magnanimously, having accepted this series of obscure knowledge and mastered this profound language.
