Chapter 147 Always First

The two of them talked about life, the moon, and life ideals. It was already evening when Rigg came. By the time Nicoléme finished telling his story, it was already late at night in the middle of the moonlight.

After staying up for two nights, Rige was now full of energy, his eyes were as wide as bells, and he felt like he had finally woken up.

Nicolas Flamel, who has stayed up late studying formulas and techniques for a long time, also entered the state at midnight. Of course, he is also a night owl and is very used to thinking in the middle of the night.

Every time Perenel grabbed the last bit of fat on his waist and spun it around, Nicolas Flamel was eloquent. He only had the inspiration to think in the middle of the night.

Perenel had no choice but to punish him the next day with Nicoléme's most hated berry pie.

After chatting for a while, Nicoléme also became serious. He asked Rigg some basic knowledge about alchemy, and Rigg answered fluently.

Not to mention that he has been extremely talented in this life and has extremely fast memorization speed. In his previous life, Li Ge was also a good at memorizing questions, and he was best at Nuwa filling the sky at the end of the term.

A pen, a glass of ice-cold Coca-Cola, never Pepsi.

Staying up all night to study a semester's worth of content is a common occurrence for Rigg.

However, even so, when dealing with Nicoléme's problem, Rigg also felt the limitations of his knowledge.

Nicolas Flamel's questions were not prepared. He would take the three books that Rigg had read, flip through them casually, and ask Rigg casually when he saw something interesting.

For example, "Gamp's Basic Law of Transformation" is a very famous basic law of transformation recognized by the wizarding world. Wizards can deform objects or create something.

Rigg has long known that transfiguration is the foundation and preparatory course for alchemy. In his previous system summary, he was surprised to find that he might have a unique talent in transfiguration.

So even if he didn't practice the Transfiguration much, the Transfiguration had risen to the same level as the Levitation Spell that he practiced a lot.

Rigg could say that even if Nico Flamel asked him to turn the stool under their butts into a belly-dancing mouse, the difficulty would be much easier than the question that Teacher Nico asked casually.

In Gamp's basic law of transformation, there are five exceptions, and food is the first exception. "You can't conjure delicious food out of thin air. If you know where the food is, you can summon it; if you already have some, you can Give it shape, and you can multiply it."

Rig had already learned about the inability to conjure food in Professor McGonagall's class, but Nicolas Flamel's question was, "So, why is food special?"

As soon as he heard about the Transfiguration Technique, Rige, who was about to show off his skills to Teacher Nico, was stunned.

He had never thought about it.

Rigg knew he could conjure a turkey, or a chicken with a broken leg, or a wood carving in the shape of a chicken, but why couldn't he conjure a roasted chicken? His mind was spinning wildly, and he stammered a few answers based on his own understanding, but he also knew that these words were pie in the sky and were all his guesses.

After listening to Rigg's answer, Nicoléme nodded while Rigg waited nervously, without commenting on the quality of his answer. He even comforted him with a few words, asking Rigg not to be harsh on himself because of this question.

"There is still a long way to go for future learning."

Nicolas Flamel, who said this sentence, looked like a master, relaxed and freehand, but only he knew how nervous he was when flipping through the basic books.

While reading, Nicoléme was scolding his former self for not being able to write some easy-to-understand annotations. Even he couldn't understand it now!

He has gone too far in alchemy, dealing with the basic rules of magic every day, studying problems that ordinary wizards have never thought about in their lives, or creating legendary products that are considered miracles in the eyes of others.

It was a rare opportunity to review the basic knowledge of alchemy that he had forgotten for hundreds of years. Nico Flamel suddenly had new ideas for some designs that had been stuck before.

After quickly flipping through the book a few more times to confirm that he had nothing to ask Rigg, and even wanted to study by himself one more night, Nicoléme waved tolerantly to his beloved apprentice, cleared his throat and said: " Not bad, not bad. I have some knowledge of alchemy, but it’s not enough. I hope you can surprise me next time.”

Nico Flamel was calm and composed. In Rigg's eyes, it meant that Teacher Nico was a little disappointed with him but didn't say it out loud.

He pursed his lips in frustration and vowed to read the basic books again and preview the course content and books in advance.

Although it was difficult, Rigg still hoped that he could amaze Nicolas Flamel, a master who should have seen everything after living for more than 600 years, just like he won the heart of the professor at Hogwarts.

It turns out that I just want to be the first, Rigg thought to himself. This was the first time that he discovered that he had such a desire to win.

Seeing Rigg's tense face, Nicoléme also guessed that his apprentice would not be in a good mood. He thought about it and asked Rigg to wait for a moment.

As soon as Nicolas Flamel left the room, Rigg gnashed his teeth and wailed, ruffling his blond hair and sighing, smoothing it back out again.

Reluctantly relaxing and regretting his gaffe for a short while, Rigg returned to the person he was before Nicolás Flamel left.

After venting, he felt much better. At least now he was not full of regrets, but was seriously considering what to read next.

Rigg's ability to withstand pressure is better than he thought. If Rigg walked out of the room, he would see Nicoléme's admiring eyes, but unfortunately he didn't.

When Nicoléme faced his mentor's question for the first time, he cried sadly in the middle of his answer. Rigg was able to finish answering his question, which was beyond his expectation.

Nicoléme at the corner of the door curled his lips without reminding Rigg. He turned his back and walked lightly into the next room. He didn't recognize the material he took out, but it was definitely a material prepared for his apprentice. .

Hearing the thumping footsteps, Rigg tried to sit up straighter. When he turned around, he saw Nicoléme entering the room carrying a pot of flowers.

"Do you know what these are?"

Rigg looked at it carefully, and finally apologized to Nicoléme in frustration, "I'm sorry, Teacher Nico, I can only recognize that this basin is the blood jade used for carving in the alchemy course. As for the flower... "

Rigg observed again, "Maybe my knowledge base in materials science is not enough. I still don't recognize this, plant."

He paused hesitantly.

There is a family dinner tomorrow and I will try to get back early, mainly because I am not sure of the time.

If nothing else, it will be updated normally. However, if there is no update at 6 o'clock, it means that you are late. Try to have one chapter at 8 o'clock and one chapter at 23:50.
