Chapter 545 I Think You Already Know the Nature of Magic, Don’t You? (2-in-1)

In order to confirm this conjecture, Ivan turned his attention to Dumbledore's right hand.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore's right hand was always tucked into his sleeve, and he couldn't see whether the other party was wearing the ring.

However, Ivan had never been very interested in resurrecting Shi Yifan, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

The function of that thing is to let people see the souls of the deceased.

According to the original book, this soul is still fake. It just shows you the appearance of the other person in your memory. It is the most useless of the three holy artifacts of death!

While Ivan was thinking about it secretly, the argument between Dumbledore and Nick still did not stop.

"Albus, you should know that I have wasted a lot of time." The expression on Nick Flamel's face was very ugly. "According to the previous plan, I should have gone to accompany her by now!"

"You missed it anyway, didn't you? It doesn't matter if it's a little later!" Dumbledore said forcefully. "You should know that this is not a matter for me alone, nor is it only a matter for the British magical community!"

"Yes, I hope you know what you are doing!" Nick rolled his eyes angrily, "Do you really think everything will go as you want? Albus, no one can control the overall situation, not even God!"

"Maybe, but I think this is the best chance." Dumbledore replied noncommittally.

He was unwilling to have a fearless argument with Nick in this regard, so he quickly changed the subject and asked Nick to repair the Deathly Hallows as soon as possible.

Nick had no intention of giving in. It would take at least two years to repair such a legendary item, even if he tried his best.

Two years?

Dumbledore looked very disappointed, which meant that he might not live to explore the secret

"In this case, I'm afraid we have to prepare for the worst." Dumbledore's face became extremely tired and he murmured to himself.

Unable to get the promise he wanted, Dumbledore slowly stood up to say goodbye and turned to leave.

Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Nick not to forget his previous agreement. If the situation is unfavorable, he can make his own decision.

Nick nodded and watched Dumbledore walk out of the hut and disappear into a blaze of golden flames.

There was silence for a long time, and Nick stood frozen on the spot, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ivan didn't dare to interrupt, and could only silently ponder in his mind what the so-called "best opportunity" and "worst plan" actually meant.

He felt that Dumbledore and Nick were not just talking about the Resurrection Stone.

"Sorry, Hals, I was a little distracted just now!" After a while, Nick came back to his senses and looked at Ivan with an apologetic look on his face.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Flamel!" Ivan shook his head, saying that he didn't care.

Immediately afterwards, Ivan was very curious and asked about the content of their argument just now, hoping to dig out some inside stories.

"You know, when you get older, you can't help but worry about some ridiculous things." Nick explained with a smile, obviously not planning to reveal it.

Ivan curled his lips and didn't believe a single word.

But at the beginning, Ivan didn't hold out much hope. If he could tell himself about this, Dumbledore and Nick wouldn't deliberately be arrogant and avoid the key points when they were arguing.

Ivan could only guess from the information he learned that this matter might be related to Voldemort.

In the original time and space, Dumbledore used the Elder Wand and his own death to dig a big hole for Voldemort.

The former was the cause of Voldemort's death, and the latter was also a very important driving force. It was the loss of this enemy that he had always been afraid of that made Voldemort change from a conspirator lurking in the dark to a reckless man who only knew Avatar!

You must know that before that, Voldemort's IQ was still fine.

Not only was he able to take Harry away from Dumbledore's eyes during the Triwizard Tournament, but even after he was truly resurrected, he did not immediately declare his return to the wizarding world in a high-profile manner, but instead hid decisively to accumulate strength. Stir up a conflict between Fudge and Dumbledore!

But all this changed completely after Dumbledore's death. Voldemort, who felt he was invincible, became increasingly arrogant and arrogant.

Coupled with the destruction of Horcruxes one after another, Voldemort's spirit was hit one after another in a short period of time, and he followed Trelawney's prophecy, and finally fell into the hands of Harry.

This corresponds to the saying, if you want to make people die, you must first make them crazy!

It's just that the situation now is different from that then. Ivan doesn't know whether Dumbledore will still use the same method. Logically speaking, the old professor may not be able to survive until then.

Ivan was thinking about things in his mind, but on the surface Ivan remained calm, pretending to be a little disappointed at not getting the news.

Nick comforted him a few words, then changed the topic and started testing Ivan's alchemy level with great interest.

He had always heard that Ivan was very talented in alchemy, but he didn't know the specific situation. Of course, he had to find out for himself.

Faced with Nick Flamel's exam, Ivan naturally responded fluently, recounting the magic text sequences he had mastered as well as his daily learning progress and methods.

Although his alchemy has been upgraded to level six, and according to the system level classification, it is already enough to teach others, but because he has never had a leader who is powerful enough, he has to read a lot of things by himself, and he doesn't know how to do it at all. Know if it is right or not.

Now that there is an opportunity, Ivan will certainly not let go of the opportunity to confirm this knowledge.

After asking for a while, Nick Flamel also changed his previous casual attitude.

Because he noticed that Ivan's alchemy level was far beyond his expectations, and was even close to the upper limit that most alchemists could achieve after painstaking study.

This discovery surprised Nick Flamel. According to the information he received, Ivan's level of potion science was also very high, and his strength was far beyond that of his peers.

Is there really such an all-powerful genius in this world?

Nick looked at Ivan's young face and felt very emotional, but he still patiently answered the problems Ivan encountered in alchemy.

Ivan devoted himself wholeheartedly to this kind of question and answer. Almost every once in a while, the system prompt in his mind would sound, but Ivan completely ignored it, just like a sponge. Absorbing knowledge.

It wasn't until a few hours later that Ivan felt a little thirsty as he spoke. He subconsciously picked up the teacup on the side and found that it was empty, and then he stopped with unfinished thoughts.

At the same time, the last system prompt sounded.

[Ding, after a period of study, your alchemy level has improved, currently level six (1395/16000)]

Ivan took a glance and found that in the past few hours, his proficiency in alchemy had improved by more than a thousand points!

You must know that since he absorbed Bock's alchemy knowledge last year and raised his alchemy level to level six, his proficiency has increased as slowly as a tortoise. Sometimes, he only needs to finish reading a thick alchemy book. Gives one or two points of proficiency.

Compared with the mind-numbingly long upper limit of proficiency, Ivan felt that he might not be able to reach level seven just by studying on his own for several years!

Because of this, Ivan looked at Nick with eager eyes, full of desire for knowledge, as if he regarded him as a new learning accelerator!

Nick on the other side was also very satisfied with Ivan's overwhelming thirst for knowledge.

After the exam just now, he already had a rough idea of ​​Ivan's background.

This little wizard is completely of the practical side and has a strong ability to make alchemy items. His shortcomings are that his theoretical knowledge is not solid enough.

At the same time, Nick was also curious about who Ivan learned his alchemy from. With Ivan’s current level of alchemy, he is already considered a top-notch alchemist in England. Who can teach such a monster?

"I don't have a real alchemy mentor. My mother Asia taught me these." Ivan explained, completely ignoring the contributions of Bock and Tom.

"Is that so?" Nick Flamel thought for a while. He had never heard of the name Asia. It seemed that he was not a very famous alchemist.

But this is normal. During the school examination, he noticed that what Ivan learned was very messy and did not seem to have received an orthodox alchemy education. However, this further confirmed Ivan's knowledge in alchemy. talent.

If Yeluzi can learn this level, how can he not be very talented?

Nick Flamel raised his awareness of Ivan in his heart, and after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask. "I wonder what you think of alchemy? Or what do you think alchemy is?"

"Well, I think that's the ancient wizard's way of understanding the world. It has the power to turn decay into magic!" Ivan said, carefully looking at Nick's expression. Seeing that Nick's expression didn't change, he became a little bolder. , then said.

"When I was at Hogwarts, I talked to many wizards from Muggle families, and I heard them talk about a lot of things from the outside world. I feel that alchemy is a bit similar to Muggle procedures!"

Sorting the magic text in a specific way can release specific magic, which is somewhat similar to typing code to run a program.

It’s just that computers haven’t become popular yet. Ivan was worried that Nick wouldn’t understand, so he explained it to Nick in a crackling voice.

Nick Flamel said with a smile after listening to Ivan's words. "This is quite a novel idea!"

"Then do you think it's right?" Ivan asked quickly.

"You may or may not be right!" Nick Flamel put away the smile on his face and replaced it with a serious expression, "Because in essence, alchemy is still using the power of magic!"

"To understand alchemy, you must first understand what magic is!" Nick Flamel added.

Faced with this profound question, Ivan was completely confused. He couldn't help but recall the embarrassing scene when he turned into an owl and was made trouble in front of Ravenclaw.

The difference is that the bronze eagle guarding the door asked about the nature of magic, not the nature of magic.

Ivan looked at Nick Flamel with great resentment. Is it really okay to embarrass a young wizard with such a question?

Noticing Ivan's resentful expression, Nick Flamel gradually couldn't hold back the serious look on his face and couldn't help laughing.

From the moment he walked in, Ivan had shown many expressions, but how could Nick Flamel not see that Ivan's heart was almost unmoved, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and he didn't look like a fourteen-year-old at all? little wizard

Only now can I see the appearance of some children!

Ivan frowned dissatisfiedly, looking very unhappy.

Nick Flamel did not continue to laugh. After a pause, he continued to ask. "Do you remember the three steps of casting a spell?"

"Use the wand to guide the magic in the body, plus gestures and spells." Ivan did not care about the episode just now, but answered seriously.

"Which of these three steps do you think is more important?" Nick LeMay asked.

Ivan hesitated for a moment, having a hard time making a choice. For ordinary spell casters, these three steps are indispensable.

But for those powerful wizards, these three items do not seem to be indispensable. After all, they can cast spells without a wand or cast spells without a spell.

Nick Flamel did not rush to ask Ivan for the answer. Instead, he took out a simple wand from his robe and waved it gently with a strange gesture. His movements were very slow, as if he deliberately wanted to let him know the answer. Ivan saw clearly.

"Scourgify! (Clean up)" Nick Flamel said the spell while waving his wand.

A gust of magical wind blew over and rolled up the cup on the table.

It was like there were many invisible small brushes surrounding the cups. In a moment, several teacups became as smooth as new, and they were slowly stacked together and fell onto the plate.

Ivan watched silently, but couldn't figure out the meaning of Nick Flamel's move. Did he just want to clean it up?

Before Ivan could figure it out, Nick Flamel waved the wand again, and it was the same magic again. The wind of magic began to sweep through the entire room, sweeping away the dust and straightening the seats.

The alchemy creatures below were grabbing the corners of the table or pressing their teacups in panic, fearing that they would be swept out of the house as trash!

Ivan's expression suddenly changed because he discovered that this time Nick Flamel pronounced it not in English, but in French!

Even the gestures for casting spells have slightly changed!

Ivan stood up in surprise, his eyes shining, staring at the legendary alchemy master in front of him, wanting to ask for the answer!

Nick didn't look at Ivan. He stretched out his left hand and put it on a plate.

Without the use of a wand or a spell, the plate suddenly twisted and stretched, plasticizing quickly like a fluid. A few seconds later, a dove with pure white feathers appeared in the center of the table.

The snow-white dove's smart eyes wandered around, waving its wings and landing on Nick's arm.

Nick came to the window in two or two steps, and with a shake of his arm, he sent the pigeon out of the room. He watched it spread its wings and fly high, then turned to look at Ivan and spoke.

"There are wizards from all over the world. The spells and gestures they use are actually not uniform, but magic is still very popular. I think you already know the secret of this, right?"
