Ivan thought about the scene when he was full of confidence some time ago and told Nick Lemay that he would soon learn this magic scene, and his face became a little embarrassed.

No wonder Nick Lemay just smiled and didn't say anything at that time, and now it seems that the other party obviously knows that this special alchemy method is not so easy to succeed.

Ivan looked at the discarded items scattered on the workbench, shook his head helplessly, glanced at the gradually 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 truth of combining work and rest.

After tidying up the cluttered studio, Ivan took his book all the way to the living room to prepare for today's dinner.

And Nick Lemay has been waiting there for a long time.

"How? Got a clue? Seeing Ivan coming over with a sad face, Nick Lemay, who was eating pastry, turned his head and asked.

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

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

"Ahh Is that so? Nick Lemay said with a smile, not at all surprised.

Channeling and using one's own emotions to inject a certain will into alchemy items is a rather high-end alchemy, and the alchemists in the entire wizarding world who can do this can be counted on one hand.

If Ivan could master it in a little more than a month, then the other alchemists who had been studying for decades and couldn't find a way out would not be ashamed enough to commit suicide.

In fact, seeing that Ivan was in trouble, Nick Lemay's heart was a little more calm, because the learning speed of this little wizard before was too fast!

The average wizard needs months to learn, but Ivan is often able to master it within a week.

If it weren't for the fact that all this alchemy knowledge had been sorted out by him over the years and had never been passed on, Nick Lemay couldn't help but wonder if Ivan had learned it in advance, and then pretended to deliberately fool himself.

"Teacher, isn't there any way to get a little trick?" Ivan didn't know what Nick Lemay was thinking, but asked with a frown.

Nick's eyebrows furrowed, and his expression became a little more serious, "Hals, I need to remind you that alchemy is an extremely delicate discipline, and you can't make real progress by relying on specialized research and tricks. ”

Ivan's heart fluttered, and he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately wanted to apologize, but Nick Lemay waved his hand at this time and interrupted him.

"You're a little too eager these days... At your age, there is still a lot of time to learn slowly, and the improvement of alchemy requires years of accumulation, and it is not something that can be achieved overnight! Nick Lemay reminded in earnest.

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

It stands to reason that a young wizard at this age shouldn't be more interested in playing?

When Ivan asked about the magic TV, he was a little worried that Ivan would be obsessed with Muggle-made cartoons, and as a result, the magic TV hadn't been turned on once in a long time...

Nick Lemay couldn't figure out why, and could only attribute it to Ivan being too precocious to restrain his desires.

"I see, Teacher!" Listening to Nick Lemay's words, Ivan nodded his head and quickly adjusted, he has indeed been a little too anxious in the past few days.

However, he can't be blamed for this, after all, whether it is the pressure of the prophecy or the dark wizards who are not very peaceful in the Tumble Alley, they are forcing Ivan to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Otherwise, once you encounter a strong enemy that is difficult to solve in a short period of time, the combat power disguised by relying on the huge bloodline magic and the blessing of the enhanced magic text will be instantly debunked!

At that time, who knows if these dark wizards will be obedient, if they collectively fight back or do some small actions in private, it will be troublesome.

Therefore, in Ivan's opinion, the improvement of strength cannot be delayed!

It's just that in terms of magic, the Transfiguration Technique, which he is best at, has become more and more slow to increase in proficiency after reaching level six, and has recently reached a point where it is close to stagnation, and he can't find a way forward.

It just so happened that Nick Lemay was willing to teach him alchemy, so he was ready to find a breakthrough in this area.

After all, alchemy, like magic, is a method of using magic, and the final form of the two is the same, both in order to make the wizard a god who "thinks what the heart thinks, that is, what is reality"!

Injecting self-will into alchemy items to achieve a certain effect is somewhat similar to the state of wish-fulfillment, and Ivan feels that if he can raise alchemy to level seven, it will definitely be of great help to the improvement of other magic.

Of course, Ivan didn't say these thoughts, but hid them in his heart, and the various encounters in Tumbledown Alley made Ivan learn to shut up at the right time, sometimes talking too much in front of smart people is not a good thing, maybe it will be made up by the brain something terrible.

Nick Lemay didn't say anything more after a few reminders, and instead took out a letter and put it in front of Ivan.

Ivan curiously picked up the envelope and looked at it, noticed the Hogwarts emblem on it, and immediately guessed the contents of the envelope.

"This was sent by Phoenix Fawkes, I think Albus wants to remind you not to delay the train to start school, you have been living here for a month and a half, and Hogwarts is about to start school when you calculate the time." Nick Lemay said with a smile.

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

It was the same as usual, telling him to take the train to London King's Cross Station on September 1st, and attaching a list of books for the school year at the end.

School was about to start, but Ivan wasn't very happy, and with his current level of magic, there wasn't much Hogwarts could teach him.

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

"Hals, blind mechanical learning doesn't help you much, let alone let you experience this intense and pure power, if you've never experienced it, how can you use it?" Nick Lemay asked.

Hearing this, Ivan suddenly fell into deep thought.

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