Chapter 758 How to Make the Magic Stone

After hearing what Nico Flamel said, Ivan's inner excitement slowly subsided.

He knew very well that the alchemist master was not wrong. He could only initially master the method of engraving magic words on mithril metal, and there was still a long way to go before he could use it freely in battle.

Thinking of this, Ivan calmed down and picked up a piece of mithril metal again and started practicing.

…

The next day, early in the morning, after breakfast, Ivan sat in the study room with great interest and listened to the lecture.

However, Nico Flamel did not intend to explain directly, but asked. "What do you think the Philosopher's Stone is?"

"A very powerful alchemical substance?" Ivan was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly answered. His knowledge of the Philosopher's Stone came from descriptions in some books, and he had no substantial understanding at all.

"It can be said that, but it is also a huge source of magic power. If its user can master specific methods, he can use this huge magic power to achieve his own goals. The well-known Midas into gold and elixir of life It's all the result of using magic power..." Nico Flamel said eloquently.

"This is a bit like using another way to release magic." Ivan touched his chin and murmured to himself.

"Yes, I should have told you that magic and alchemy are ultimately a way to use magic power..." Nico Flamel nodded, and then continued to explain to Ivan.

"The difference between the two is that one relies entirely on the magic power in one's own body, while the other can choose external forces."

Ivan pondered for a while and quickly understood the meaning of Nico Flamel's words.

Alchemy is equivalent to wands, spells and gestures. Its function is to guide magic power, while the magic stone can replace itself as another source of magic power.

But since you already have magic power, why would you create a magic stone? Just to make your own magic more powerful?

Nico Flamel had been paying attention to Ivan's expression and could naturally guess what he was thinking, so he spoke again.

"The magic power in the body of ordinary wizards is extremely limited. Not everyone has outstanding talents. At a young age, they have several times the magic power of an adult wizard."

“So some alchemists usually choose to borrow external forces in order to master higher levels of magical power.

The magic stone is the best choice, because a magic stone usually stores immeasurable magic power. If the user masters superb alchemy skills, he can even use the magic stone to do incredible things like turning stone into gold. "

"Then how should I make a magic stone?" Ivan asked quickly.

Nico Flamel didn't mean to hide it, and quickly explained the steps to make the magic stone and the various materials required.

The most core material is the raw stone used to store magic power, which is very rare and cannot be purchased on the market.

Rough stone? Hearing this, Ivan frowned. He had indeed seen this magic material in the magic stone production method given by the system.

It's just that because his alchemy level has never reached the standard, he didn't prepare these materials in advance, and he didn't expect that the rough stones would be so rare...

Even an alchemist master like Nico Flamel found it precious, so it would probably be difficult for him to get it.

Looking at the troubled look on Ivan's face, Nico Flamel couldn't help but smile, took out a silver-white stone about half the size of a palm from the drawer, put it on the table, and said. "By chance, I still have a rough stone here that I can give to you."

"Thank you, teacher..." Ivan stood up gratefully and bowed solemnly.

Although he and Nico Flamel had a master-disciple relationship, they had only been together for less than half a year, but the other party was willing to teach him without asking for anything in return, and even gave him such precious magic materials. This kind of kindness was simply There are no words to describe it.

Nico Flamel waved his hand, telling Ivan not to worry about it. This rough stone was of no use to him. Instead of throwing it here to ashes, it would be better to put it in Ivan's hand to play some role.

"In addition, you'd better not be happy too early. In addition to gathering the materials, in order to make a magic stone, you also need to thoroughly master the enchantment magic, find a place with abundant magic power, and arrange the alchemy to guide the magic power. The magic circle will do, but I can't help you this time." Nico Flamel said seriously.

Ivan nodded. As a self-reliant person, he never expected Nico Flamel to help him complete the production of the Magic Stone.

But what makes Ivan a little puzzled is, what kind of place is considered to be rich in magic power?

Facing Ivan's inquiry, Nico Flamel pondered for a while and suddenly spoke. "Maybe you can look for it in Hogwarts."

"Hogwarts?!" Ivan said in surprise.

"Yes! This magic school has been able to run smoothly for thousands of years. It probably has a magic storage room that is used to absorb the magic that escapes near the school to supply the operation of the entire castle." Nicol Flamel explained .

Ivan suddenly felt his eyes light up. He had always wondered how Hogwarts, which was so big and had ever-changing secret passages and stairs, could solve the problem of magic power supply.

If it is as Nico Flamel suspected, then the magic power accumulated in the entire castle for thousands of years is definitely a huge amount, enough for him to make a magic stone.

And as long as the excess magic power is not excessively consumed, it should not affect the operation of the castle.

In other words, Dumbledore would probably allow him to use the magic storage room to create a magic stone.

Thinking of this, Ivan breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a hint of worry in his heart, because he didn't know the specific location of the magic storage room at all, and he was even more worried that Dumbledore didn't know either.

After all, Hogwarts is too mysterious, and even as the principal, his knowledge is very limited.

Of course, there may be another obstacle, that is, Dumbledore knows the inside story but is unwilling to tell him, or the old professor has unfortunately died when the school starts, which would be troublesome.

Ivan did not show the slight uneasiness in his heart. As Nico Flamel said, these problems need to be solved by himself...

After a brief lunch, Ivan did not rest for a moment and continued to learn from Nico Flamel the alchemy circle needed to make the magic stone. In the middle of the night, he worked overtime to practice enchanting magic as usual.

Now that there are less than two days left before the official start of school, he must master all the relevant alchemy knowledge...
