Chapter 553 Hogwarts Is a Very Suitable Place, Isn't It?

Ivan's face became a little embarrassed as he thought about the scene where he was confident some time ago and assured Nick Flamel that he would learn this magic soon.

No wonder Nick Flamel just smiled and said nothing at that time. Now it seems that the other party obviously knows that this special alchemy method is not so easy to succeed.

Ivan looked at the waste products scattered on the workbench, shook his head helplessly, glanced at the darkening sky outside the window, touched his empty stomach, and put down the carving knife in his hand.

Troubles are troubles, but Ivan still knows the principle of combining work and rest.

After cleaning up the messy studio, Ivan took the book and walked all the way to the living room to prepare for today's dinner.

And Nick LeMay was already waiting there.

"How's it going? Do you have an idea?" Seeing Ivan walking over with a sad face, Nick Flamel, who was eating a pastry, turned his head and asked.

Ivan walked straight to the opposite side and sat down, grabbed a piece of pumpkin pie, took a few bites, and said in a vague tone.

"I've tried it many times, but it still doesn't work. I always feel like something is wrong."

"Ah, is that so?" Nick Flamel said with a smile, not surprised at all.

Guiding and using one's own emotions to inject a certain will into alchemical items is a very high-end alchemy. The number of alchemy masters in the entire magic world who can do this can be counted on one hand.

If Ivan could master it in more than a month, other alchemists who had been studying for decades but could not find a way would not be ashamed enough to commit suicide.

In fact, seeing Ivan in trouble, Nick Flamel felt a little more at ease, because the little wizard learned so fast before!

Ordinary wizards need to learn knowledge for several months, but Ivan can often master it within a week.

If it weren't for the fact that he had compiled all this alchemy knowledge over the years and never spread it to the public, Nick Flamel could not help but wonder if Ivan had learned it in advance and then pretended to deliberately fool himself.

"Teacher, isn't there any trickier way?" Ivan didn't know what Nick Flamel was thinking, but he frowned and asked.

Nick's brows raised and his expression became more serious, "Hals, I need to remind you that alchemy is an extremely delicate subject, and it is impossible to make real progress by focusing on tricks."

Ivan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately wanted to apologize, but Nick Flamel waved his hand at this moment, interrupting his words.

"You are a little too eager these days. Considering your age, there is still a lot of time to learn slowly. Improving alchemy requires years of accumulation, and it cannot be achieved by hard work overnight!" Nick Lemay said earnestly. reminded.

For more than a month, while being surprised by Ivan's learning ability, Nick Lemay was also a little puzzled by Ivan's hard work.

Logically speaking, shouldn't a young wizard of this age be more interested in having fun?

When Ivan asked about the magic TV before, he was a little worried that Ivan would be addicted to cartoons produced by Muggles. As a result, the magic TV has not been turned on for such a long time.

Nick Flamel couldn't figure out the reason. He could only attribute it to Ivan being too premature and able to restrain his desires.

"I understand, teacher!" After listening to Nick Flamel's words, Ivan nodded and quickly adjusted. He had indeed been a little too anxious in recent days.

However, this cannot be blamed on him. After all, whether it is the pressure brought by the prophecy or the restless dark wizards in Knockturn Alley, they are forcing Ivan to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Otherwise, once you encounter a strong enemy that is difficult to defeat in a short period of time, the combat power you have previously disguised with the help of huge mana-consuming bloodline magic and the blessing of enhanced magic texts will be exposed instantly!

By then, who knows if these dark wizards will still be obedient. If they collectively backlash or make some small moves in private, it will be troublesome.

Therefore, in Ivan's view, the improvement of strength is urgent!

It's just that after reaching the sixth level in magic, the transformation skill that he is best at, the increase in proficiency has become slower and slower. Recently, it has reached a point of near stagnation, and he can't find a way forward.

It just so happened that Nick Flamel was willing to teach him alchemy, and Ivan was ready to find a breakthrough in this aspect.

After all, alchemy, like magic, is a method of using magic power. The final forms of the two have the same goal, both of which are to make the wizard become a god who "whatever the heart thinks is reality"!

Injecting one's own will into alchemical items to achieve a certain effect is somewhat similar to the state of casting a wish. Ivan feels that if alchemy can be upgraded to level seven, it will definitely improve other magic greatly. s help.

Of course, Ivan did not express these thoughts, but hid them in his heart. The various experiences in Knockturn Alley made Ivan learn to shut up at the right time. Sometimes talking too much is not a big deal in front of smart people. Good thing, maybe something great will come up in your mind.

After a few reminders, Nick Flamel said no more, and instead took out a letter and placed it in front of Ivan.

Ivan picked up the envelope curiously and looked at it. He noticed the Hogwarts school badge on it and immediately guessed the contents of the envelope.

"This is sent by Phoenix Fawkes. I think Albus wants to remind you not to delay the train for the start of school. You have lived here for a month and a half. If you count the time, Hogwarts is about to start school." Nick - Flamel said with a smile.

"So fast?" Ivan murmured to himself, opening the envelope and taking a look.

The content inside was the same as before, telling him to go to London King's Cross station to take a train to school on September 1st, and attaching a book list for this school year at the end.

School is about to start, but Ivan is not very happy. With his current level of magic, there is not much that Hogwarts can teach him.

The most important thing is that without the guidance of Nick Flamel, the growth of alchemy proficiency will probably become very slow, and if you want to break through your own bottleneck, you will have to wait for another year.

"Halse, blind and mechanical learning cannot provide you with much help, let alone experience this strong and pure power. If you have never experienced it, how can you use it?" Nick Le Mei asked.

Hearing this, Ivan suddenly fell into deep thought.

Nick Flamel pointed to the envelope in his hand and continued. "Hogwarts is a perfect place, isn't it?"
