Chapter 18 - Ancient Passage? First Time Deducing Apparition!

Just as Professor McGonagall was regretting her attitude towards Charle, Charle was already being pulled by Goblin Bashir, beginning Apparition.

The space before his eyes began to twist and change, the scenery receding like a spiral.

In just an instant, Charle found himself outside the familiar St. Mungo's Hospital.

But what surprised him was that compared to Professor McGonagall's Apparition, Goblin Bashir's Apparition was significantly smoother.

Throughout the Apparition process, Charle had been staring intently at the distorted space, but the dizziness was far less intense than with Professor McGonagall's Apparition.

After landing, Charle didn't feel the world spinning; he merely swayed slightly before standing steady.

This caused a strange look to appear in Charle's eyes, and he began to believe that the goblins' Apparition was indeed different from the wizard version.

Regardless of other fields, in the field of Apparition, goblins were clearly much stronger than wizards.

At this moment, Deep Blue's prompt sounded, also confirming this point.

The host has obtained reference material. The deduction points required for the initial deduction of Apparition have been reduced by 3000 points.

A feeling of excitement surged in Charle's heart.

Although a reduction of 3000 points might not seem like much, before this, Charle had already observed Professor McGonagall's Apparition several times, and further observation could no longer reduce the points.

But now, observing the goblin's Apparition could still reduce points!

One must know that Professor McGonagall, as the Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts and a master in the field of Transfiguration, definitely belonged to the ranks of top wizards.

Her magical attainments were not comparable to ordinary wizards.

But this Goblin Bashir in front of him, surely he wasn't the only genius among goblins?

He looked like nothing more than an ordinary goblin.

Yet, it was this ordinary being whose use of Apparition had already surpassed Professor McGonagall's limit, which was enough to prove that the goblins' version of Apparition seemed truly different from the wizards'.

A curious expression appeared on Charle's face as he excitedly asked Goblin Bashir.

"Wow, I was Apparated here by Professor McGonagall before, and heavens, it was like being stuffed into a flushing toilet."

"But this time, Mr. Bashir, your Apparition was much smoother!"

Goblin Bashir said with a look of superiority on his face.

"Of course, how can wizards' Apparition compare to ours, the goblins'?"

"Heh, even the spell of Apparition itself was copied by wizards from us goblins, but it's just a clumsy replica."

"Piracy can't beat the original."

"Our Apparition is not only smoother, but also far surpasses wizards in distance and stability, and we can easily go to places wizards cannot."

Immediately, Goblin Bashir pulled Charle along to demonstrate.

With a loud bang, a huge stone statue in the wilderness appeared before Charle.

Next, it was the rocks where the sea and sky met, and in the distance, a cloudy island seemed visible.

Countless scenes flashed by in repeated Apparitions.

During this time, Charle also gradually asked Goblin Bashir about the difference between goblin and wizard Apparition.

According to Goblin Bashir, the reasons for the difference in smoothness, accuracy, distance, and even why one could pass through while the other was restricted, was because wizards and goblins used different channels for Apparition.

If the goblins' Apparition was like riding a train on a railway, very wide and smooth all the way.

Wizards, imitating this principle, built a narrower and more rugged mountain path for themselves, bumping along in a carriage.

Naturally, the effect would be vastly different.

Furthermore, the anti-Apparition jinxes could block the "mountain path" built by the wizards themselves, but they could only sigh in despair at the "railway" used by the goblins, unable to stop it at all.

This was also why even the anti-Apparition jinxes set by Voldemort could not prevent an old house-elf from Apparating.

Listening to the information he had extracted from Goblin Bashir, Charle suddenly understood, and most of his questions about Apparition were cleared up.

However, another question became even more prominent.

That was the spatial channel, or whatever it was called, that wizards used for Apparition, was built by the wizards themselves.

So what about the one the goblins used?

When Charle asked Goblin Bashir, Bashir gave him a look as if he were looking at an idiot.

"That is, of course, innate. Since the birth of this world, before the birth of the goblin race, this ancient channel has always existed in the world."

"It's just that you wizards don't have enough talent to use it. Only noble goblins can; this is our innate talent!"

"If you must use your human words, just understand that this channel was bestowed by God."

Listening to Bashir's words, Charle's pupils slightly contracted.

Since the birth of the world, before the birth of the goblin race, this so-called channel had always existed in the world.

Goblin Bashir even called it God-bestowed?

This argument, he seemed to have heard it somewhere before.

Charle remembered, when he was kidnapped to the basement by Dak, Dak had been muttering some things frantically.

In a whisper, he spoke of the Old Ones and the Elder Beings who once dominated this world in ancient times. Some things they left behind have always existed in this world, but wizards and other races take them for granted, seeing but not perceiving.

By pursuing these things and delving into ancient history, one would discover that so many great beings once appeared in this world.

Those incredible magics, tracing back to their origins, are all related to these great beings.

So, is this passage, regarded by the goblins as "divinely bestowed," also like this?

Such thoughts flashed through Charle's mind, but he quickly suppressed them.

This was not something he was capable of contemplating at present.

Focusing on improving his own strength was the priority. Even if the era of the Old Ones that Dak spoke of were to return, as long as he was strong enough by then, he could even skewer and roast the Old Ones!

The next moment, Charle was brought back to the entrance of Gringotts by Goblin Bashir.

Goblin Bashir bid Charle farewell excitedly, stating that Charle was the most polite, intelligent, and discerning young wizard he had ever met.

"Mr. Charle, you will definitely make a fortune in the future and own a hereditary vault in Gringotts."

"When that time comes, I will definitely help you arrange a vault in the best location."

In response to Goblin Bashir's blessing, Charle revealed a meaningful smile.

"Is that so? A vault in Gringotts. One day, I will definitely enter it."

After all, there were simply too many good things in the vaults of Gringotts.

Compared to this place, Hogwarts' Room of Requirement, aside from Ravenclaw's Diadem, was practically a pile of junk.

How could things that students regarded as treasures and dangerous items compare to the discerning eyes of magical families who owned underground vaults?

What was stored here were treasures that could be called precious throughout the entire magical world.

Hufflepuff's Cup was just one of them.

Charle believed that among the collections of those ancient magical families, there might not be items even more precious than the Cup.

If he could ransack the vaults of Gringotts, the deduction points would definitely explode.

Even putting everything else aside, the sheer amount of magical Galleons piled up in Gringotts would provide an astronomical number of deduction points.

However, these were matters for later. Charle's attention was currently focused on the Deep Blue system.

After observing the goblins' Apparition several times, the deduction points required for the initial deduction of Apparition had finally reduced to a range he could accept.

Ten thousand points!

If he were to perform a secondary deduction based on this, it would probably be around fifty thousand points. Charle's current points were not far off; he could gather enough by pooling them together.

Moreover, even the initial deduction of Apparition would bring Charle immense benefits.

At least he could run away directly when encountering danger!

So, a moment later, Charle decisively said in his mind.

"Deep Blue, deduce Apparition for me!"
