The next day, early in the morning.

Ivan woke up from bed yawning, glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, and saw that it was past eight o'clock, and felt ready to go out with his shoes and socks on.

When he passed by the window, Ivan couldn't help but stop, and the scene outside the window was very different from yesterday.

In the distance, there was no longer a wasteland, but towering buildings, and from where he stood now, he could see the wide streets of pedestrians and cars speeding from time to time.

The strange thing is that it all looks like a mirage, silent, only the sight can be seen...

"Here it is... Paris? Ivan confirmed this from the words on the shop signs, and muttered to himself in surprise.

But it shouldn't be! Obviously yesterday it was a wasteland in the distance...

Ivan frowned, vaguely guessing that it might be some kind of magic, and ignored the curtain and turned away.

After going downstairs to wash, Ivan came to the living room again, and Nick Lemay was already sitting there early, slowly sipping a cup of morning tea.

"Good morning, teacher!" Ivan walked over to the chair at the table and said hello.

"Well... Are you still used to sleeping last night? Nick Lemay gently put down the teacup and asked with a smile.

"I'm used to it!" Ivan nodded, although Nick Lemay was a wizard from centuries ago, this residence is not outdated at all, both the living room and the bed look very modern, and he doesn't recognize the bed, so he naturally sleeps peacefully.

However, Ivan was very curious about what he had just seen outside the window, so he couldn't help but ask.

"You can see the city because it's so close to the city of Paris...", Nick Lemay didn't hide it, but explained to Ivan.

In order to avoid unnecessary disturbances, he used his magic to hide an area, forming a separate space, usually isolated from the outside world, and unable to see the outside world.

Only the person with the coordinates who enters and exits through the phantom shifts causes magic fluctuations, so that the protection is affected and the outside world can be glimpsed in a short time.

"Did you just have a guest?" Ivan asked.

Nick Lemay shook his head and explained that he had gone out to buy some supplies.

The mansion was not yet self-sufficient, and he needed to go out every once in a while to see what new things the Muggles had come up with.

Ivan was aware of this, and was keenly aware that Nick Lemay seemed to be very interested in Muggle creations, and even had a TV and refrigerator in the living room.

"You can read books in the stacks this morning, and a few books on the shelves in the third row should help you. If you have any questions, I'll answer them for you in the afternoon..."Nick Lemay arranged for Ivan today's affairs.

He had learned from Dumbledore that Ivan was a very disciplined child, so he didn't strictly ask Ivan what he had to do when he did, but just gave some advice.

Ivan nodded in response, then turned to the refrigerator, TV, and microwave in the living room, and asked tentatively. "Teacher, I see a lot of Muggle stuff here, will they work?"

When he first entered the door, Ivan wanted to ask, and it was a little strange to find a pile of Muggle products in the house of a centuries-old alchemist.

"I've made some enchantment improvements to them, they can work even without electricity, if you get tired of reading, you can watch TV, but pay attention to the time!" Nick Lemay mistakenly thought Ivan was a child, curious about the Muggle products, and reminded with a smile.

Ivan pouted, he wasn't very interested in the ninety-year-old French drama, but Nick Lemay's ability to enchant such electrical appliances was beyond his expectations.

Ivan had known for a long time that some Muggle technology could be transformed into magical items through alchemy, such as Hagrid's Flying Motorcycle and the Weasleys' magical car.

But TV is different, and he wonders how exactly Nick Lemay solves the signal reception problem?

And if you can make such a magic TV, why hasn't it become popular in the wizarding world?

For wizards who lack entertainment, they should not be able to resist such temptation!

"Teacher, since many Muggle appliances can make our lives easier, why not popularize them?" Ivan spoke out the question in his mind, which he had never understood.

"It's not so easy to transform such an alchemy item! The average wizarding family simply can't afford it," Nick Lemay explained, shaking his head, before continuing.

"In addition, the European wizarding community is generally conservative, and has a certain prejudice against these Muggle creations, believing that the introduction of a large number of Muggle devices will impact the normal order of the wizarding world..."

Regardless of the fact that there are more and more half-blood wizards and Muggle-born wizards, the wizarding world has been slowly changing, and many wizards' daily lives and clothing habits are gradually moving closer to Muggles.

However, there are still some people in the wizarding world who still follow the ancient etiquette and habits, and are extremely repulsive and even hostile to Muggle items.

These people were mostly pure-blood wizards, forming a large conservative faction, partly because of wizards' discrimination against Muggles, and partly to prevent new ideas and new things from shaking their position.

After listening to Nick Lemay's explanation, Ivan has some understanding of the current situation in the wizarding world, which is simply a collision between new ideas and old ideas, and this contradiction is likely to become bigger and bigger as time progresses...

As for the management of Muggle items in the wizarding world, Ivan has also heard of it, such as the British Continent has set up a special department to prohibit the abuse of Muggle items to prevent wizards from illegally modifying Muggle technological items.

It is worth mentioning that the leader of this department is none other than Ron's father, Arthur Weasley.

In order to facilitate himself, Arthur also specially left a loophole when writing the law prohibiting the abuse of Muggle items, in order to improve travel, wizards can use magic to transform Muggle vehicles.

After breakfast, Nick Lemay took Ivan to the library on the first floor.

The space here is a little smaller than the underground library of Blake's house, but the books are placed more closely, and the overlapping bookshelves make Ivan a little dizzy...

There is also a high platform in front of the library, and a large number of unintelligible magic characters are engraved around it, and I don't know what it is used for...
