Nick Lemay naturally heard Ivan's potential lines, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

Fixing an alchemy item is no problem for him.

But the point is for him to inject emotions into this pendant to fill this void, which is not suitable after all, so Nick Lemay shook his head and refused Ivan's request.

"I'll teach you the relevant channeling magic in the next few days, and it's up to you whether you can fix it or not." Nick Lemay spoke.

Ivan's eyes couldn't help but light up, if he could learn the magic to guide his emotions, he would not only be able to repair this crescent moon pendant, but maybe he would also be able to make some powerful magic props to take his alchemy level to the next level.

"That's right, teacher! Can you tell when this pendant was made? Ivan suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Judging by the level of wear and tear of Mithril, it must have been fourteen years ago..."Nick Lemay hesitated to answer for Ivan, then flipped the pendant over, looked at the name engraved on it, and continued. As for the name, it was engraved more than three years ago. ”

Fourteen years ago...

Ivan's heart moved, in terms of time, it should be around the time he was born...

The name on the pendant was engraved three years ago, just in time when he entered Hogwarts.

This made Ivan have some doubts in his heart, if this crescent moon pendant was prepared for himself, then after he was born, this thing should be engraved with his name and hung around his neck.

In his memory, Althea herself had never carried this pendant.

Why was a magical item with a death curse to resist so many years sealed after it was made?

Ivan frowned, really puzzled.

"If you have a doubt, why don't you just ask her?" Nick Lemay looked at Ivan's meditative appearance and couldn't help but suggest.

Ivan shrugged helplessly, he had wanted to ask.

But if Althea had seen that the crescent moon pendant had broken, she would have known that she had almost died once at Hogwarts.

With Althea's personality, he will be furious, not to mention, and it is possible to go to Dumbledore to settle accounts, so Ivan has been dragging it out like this.

Seeing that Ivan didn't answer for a long time, Nick Lemay understood that Ivan had concerns, so he didn't ask any more, and continued to explain the advanced alchemy knowledge.

Ivan tacitly didn't mention this matter again, put aside all his previous doubts for the time being, and concentrated on studying.

......

Before you know it, the time of January has passed in a flash, and under the guidance of Nick Lemay, Ivan's alchemy level can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.

Although there is still a big gap between the skill and the skill level seven, the long proficiency level has already been filled by half.

Ivan was already very content to be able to make such a big progress in more than a month, because according to Nick Lemay's description and his own conjectures, level six to level seven would probably be a huge change!

What made Ivan even happier was that Nick Lemay finally relented about the apprenticeship, and promised to officially accept him as an apprentice when he finished repairing the crescent moon pendant!

With a clear goal, Ivan worked harder and harder, and at the expense of using his GPA to speed up his studies, Ivan finished reading a few books recommended by Nick Lemay a week ago.

For the rest of the day, Ivan spent his time in the studio experimenting with the alchemy he had learned, especially considering how to repair the crescent moon pendant.

As early as a few days ago, Ivan learned from Nick Lemay how to use the power of emotions, which can be broadly divided into two types.

The first method is to use specific spells to assist in infusing strong and pure emotions into alchemical items.

The advantage is that it takes a short time and is very convenient, while the disadvantage is that it is difficult, and once it fails, the alchemy item will become extremely unstable and may be accompanied by certain risks.

The second method was more cumbersome and time-consuming, so he didn't consider it at all.

Ivan thought silently in his mind, but the movements in his hand did not stop, waving the carving knife in his hand to engrave the magic text on a talisman little by little.

Focus... Channel the emotions!

Ivan did his best to do what Nick Lemay had given him, and it took him several hours to engrave the last inscription.

"I hope it works!"

Ivan glanced at the talisman he had made, thought about it and felt a little uneasy, and blessed himself with an iron armor spell, then closed his eyes and began to think about the scene when he encountered danger.

This magic is somewhat similar to the Patronus Charm that condenses happiness, both are the power to unite emotions...

Ivan struggled to remember, his heart full of desire to protect himself, and then pulled out his wand and pressed the tip of the wand against the talisman, trying to enter some magic into it.

Strands of silver "silk threads" floated down the tip of the staff into the talisman, and the magic inscriptions engraved on the surface of the talisman lit up one after another.

If Ivan opened his eyes, he could see that the silver "silk thread" was not pure, but mixed with a little black-red light, and because of this, the color of the talisman became darker and darker, and gradually became hot.

A palpitating sensation suddenly came over him, interrupting Ivan's thoughts, and when he opened his eyes, he noticed something strange about the talisman.

Ivan's face changed suddenly, and with a wave of his wand, a wave of air lifted the talisman and flew it out, falling straight into the pool on the side.

Boom~

The next moment, a silent explosion rang out, and the raging magic inside the amulet was completely out of control, blasting the pool of water in all directions, and the entire studio felt like a light rain.

"It's a pity... Failed again! Ivan looked at this scene, sighed, and a thin barrier of magic flashed through his body, blocking all the water droplets, and waved his wand again and began to cast a recovery spell to clean up the mess.

After a few seconds, with the help of magic, everything seemed to be back to its original state, and Ivan fished out the badly damaged amulet from the pool, shook his head, and threw it into a box containing discarded items.

[Ding, after a period of practice, your alchemy level has increased slightly, the current level is six (8129/16000)]

In his mind, the system's prompt sounded, but Ivan didn't pay attention to it at all, looking a little depressed.

In the course of a week, he conducted many similar experiments, but all of them failed, and only accumulated a lot of experience of failure, and there was not a single successful example.

It seems that condensing strong and pure emotions is even harder than he imagined!
