Chapter 548: Modern Alchemy Appendix
"This is a device for organizing and searching for books, just hold your wand against the table, pronounce the name or type of book, and the magic will activate to pick out the book you want." Nick Lemay pointed to the high platform and said.
So convenient?
Ivan was surprised, feeling that this magic platform was a bit similar to a Muggle search engine.
When he was in Black's old house before, he was still worried that there were too many books to find, but he didn't expect Nick Lemay to solve this problem.
At this moment, Nick Lemay drew his wand, pressed it against the table on the high platform, demonstrated it to Ivan, and read slowly.
"Type: Advanced Alchemy..."
As Nick Lemay's voice rang out, a bookshelf on the right side of the front suddenly shook.
In a few moments, Ivan saw hundreds of books being pulled out of the shelves, flying towards this direction, and finally neatly divided into five groups and quickly landed on the high platform, making a muffled sound.
"Modern Alchemy Appendix", "Advanced Enchanted Magic", "Research and Application of Runevan"...
Ivan glanced at it, and found that most of these books he hadn't read, he curiously picked up the "Modern Alchemy Appendix" and flipped through it, the pages were very new, and the author on the cover was impressively written - Nick Lemay.
"Teacher, are these books your research results?" Ivan looked at Nick Lemay, no wonder he couldn't find it elsewhere, it seems that this should have been written by Nick Lemay over the years, so it has not been transmitted.
"Mostly!" Nick Lemay nodded, confirming Ivan's guess, and then waved his wand again, and said a word. "Return!"
Except for the "Modern Alchemy Appendix" in Ivan's hand, the remaining books slowly floated up and flew back to their original positions.
"Choose the books you want, and put the rest back! But remember that this magic is only effective if the book is placed on a high platform. Nick Lemec turned his head and explained to Ivan the uses and drawbacks of the Magic Tower.
Ivan listened very carefully, and from time to time asked about the meaning of the runes burned on the magic platform, such a useful "search engine", he was going to install one at home at that time.
After teaching Ivan how to use the platform search function, Nick Lemay didn't stay any longer, and after a few words, he left.
Ivan Ivan, who was left alone, didn't pay much attention to it, because he knew very well that Nick Lemay was probably studying the Resurrection Stone.
Needless to say, the appeal of a Deathly Hallows to a master alchemist is that Nick Lemay is able to spare some of his questions every day.
Ivan is very self-aware, he and Nick Lemay are not in a formal mentor-apprentice relationship now, and the other party has not taught himself obligations.
Thinking so, Ivan moved a chair, sat down on the bookshelf on one side, and slowly flipped through the pages of the "Modern Alchemy Appendix" in his hand.
......
For the next few days, Ivan continued to live an otaku life of eating, reading, communicating, and sleeping in this alchemy hut.
Although there is hardly any space for activities on weekdays, Ivan feels very fulfilling and comfortable.
There is no need to pretend in front of a group of brain monsters, let alone intrigue with those dark wizards, and the current life is not too perfect compared to before!
Especially after gradually getting acquainted with the new environment, Ivan changed his previous restraints, and the place to read books gradually shifted from the library to the living room.
Finally, I was able to sit comfortably by the fire, drink chilled lemon juice, slowly turn the pages, and feel the coolness coming from the blue fire.
In the summer, Ivan felt that there were few wizards in the entire wizarding world who could treat him like this...
However, if you want to talk about troubles, it is not without trouble, that is, the alchemy books in the library are very profound and difficult to understand, even with Ivan's current alchemy level, it is very difficult to study.
If he hadn't deliberately left a large number of student registration points before, he could use the experience card to increase the learning speed at the critical time, and after a few days, I am afraid that he would not be able to study even a book thoroughly.
It wasn't until a week later, in the afternoon, that Ivan finally turned to the last page and completed his knowledge on the alchemy manuscript on the table, and then slowly closed the "Modern Alchemy Appendix" in his hand.
Ivan put down the book, and subconsciously wanted to pick up the cup next to him and take a sip of cold drink, but when he brought the cup to his mouth, he found that it was already empty.
"U-Ka-ka... Pour me another cold drink! Ivan set the cup aside and spoke.
Hearing this, a group of small alchemy creatures suddenly surrounded them, like ants moving, and with great effort, they moved a jar full of lemon juice, and then several groups came together, working together to pour the jar down and slowly fill the cup.
"Well done!" Ivan smiled and complimented, picked up the cup and took a sip.
The cold lemon juice poured into his mouth, flowed down his throat and into his stomach, and then gradually spread, and a chill suddenly rushed into his mind, which made Ivan feel refreshed.
I'm tired of reading a book, and it's not comfortable to drink some cold drinks...
After being praised by Ivan, the little alchemy creatures seemed very happy, shouted "Ulala" indiscriminately, and worked hard to move the jar back to the dark blue stove.
Obviously, this cold drink was roasted over a fire!
In the first few days of his arrival, Ivan was also very puzzled by this strange magic furnace, but after reading the alchemy books for such a day, he finally barely understood the principle of this furnace.
To put it bluntly, Nick Lemay used some kind of alchemy magic to reverse the temperature of the flame, and it became like this.
However, the efficiency of the conversion was obviously not ideal, and he had tried to get closer, and the temperature of the flame was about a few degrees below zero.
Even so, the function of this alchemy array was enough to surprise Ivan, after all, he had also studied some physics in high school, so it was really difficult to understand how such a thing as reversing the temperature was done.
However, most of the magic is inherently difficult to analyze using existing theories.
For example, Peter Pettigrew, who is more than 200 pounds, can be transformed into a mouse weighing a few pounds through the Animagus Transfiguration, which has a weight difference of dozens of times, and those excess masses disappear inexplicably, or they are directly shrunk into the mouse's body by magic unreasonably.
"Well... Idealism... Idealism! If I think it's cold, it's cold, and if I think it's hot, it's hot! Ivan tried to explain the problem in a different way, he tapped his wand on the cup, he wanted to see if he could turn a cold drink into a hot one.
However, the cup exploded directly without giving face, and the cold lemonade splashed everywhere, spilling Ivan's face...
