"Life-giving?" Shivin paused for a moment and asked. "However, I have seen a lot of alchemy products, and they don't look like they are alive!"

"By life-giving we mean not just bringing material life to life." Lemay shook her head with a smile and said to Xiwen. "The meaning of life-giving is more to describe the properties of imitating magical creatures, so as to give non-magical substances certain magical qualities."

"Actually, scripts like the ancient Runi script and the seal script were originally created based on the characteristics of magical creatures at that time."

Xiwen nodded and muttered, "It turned out to be bionic technology." ”

"That's right! It's a very apt word. Lemay looked at Shevin in surprise and confirmed the statement. The connotation of giving life is to give it functions similar to living things. ”

"After the development of alchemy for a certain period of time, alchemists can combine and transform biological characteristics to create new functions that are free from the characteristics of magical creatures."

"So, most of the alchemy products now are achieved through improvement and combination!" Xiwen said with a sudden realization.

Lemay nodded approvingly, and said to Xiwen: "Alchemy is also constantly developing, and some unique systems and shortcuts have been sorted out. ”

"Can I learn alchemy with you, then?" Shiwen pursed his lips and asked.

"Of course, you're not here for this." Lemay said.

"But now it's time to go to the opera, do you want to come with me?" He said to Xiwen with a smile.

……

A week is fleeting.

These days, Xiwen has been studying alchemy with Lemay. In the morning, he listened to Lemay's lectures, in the afternoon he went to the opera with his wife Perenar Lemay, and in the evening he studied alchemical products independently.

The two old men in their 600s are very wise, and they can benefit Xiwen a lot by clicking at will. The two of them live very regular lives and have similar hobbies, both going to the opera at the Opéra Garnier in Paris.

Newt, on the other hand, had long since left Lemay's safe house, and was told that he had gone to the Seine in search of an endangered magical animal.

It's January 1st, the first day of 1938, and a romantic light snow is falling in Paris.

Sivin routinely accompanied the Lemay couple to the Opéra Garnier to enjoy the opera.

Today's performance is a romantic and nostalgic opera called "Der Rosenkavalier", which has been quite well received, and the Le May couple are also looking forward to it.

The façade of the Opéra Garnier is in the style of Baroque architecture. Its interior is lavishly decorated, with baroque sculptures, hanging lamps, and paintings on its walls and columns, as luxurious as a jewelry box filled with gold and silver jewelry.

Like Muggles, the trio bought their tickets and walked up the grand staircase of the opera house, then into the classical corridors illuminated by mirrors and glass.

And yet, in the midst of this magnificent corridor, there are people walking in a hurry.

It was time for the opera to begin, and the audience hurried through the corridors and out of the opera house, as if they had something urgent in mind.

Ranwen

Not only the audience, but Xiwen even saw many opera singers in costumes mixed in with the crowd and hurried out of the courtyard.

"It's like a massive Muggle banishment spell." Lemay frowned and said to Perenar and Shivin beside him.

"It doesn't seem right, let's go back first." Madame Lemay noticed a hint of strangeness in the air and whispered.

Xiwen also became nervous, and pulled the two old men to turn back, preparing to leave the opera house with the flow of people.

However, the appearance of a transparent barrier behind him interrupted his thoughts.

"It seems too late." Xiwen said in a heavy tone.

As if to respond to his words, as Xiwen's words fell, several footsteps came from the theater stage in front of him.

The leader was a middle-aged man with slightly gray blonde hair and blue eyes. He walked off the stage leisurely, but every step he took brought heavier pressure to Xiwen and the others!

The middle-aged man was followed by a young woman with long brown hair and an elegant body. What's more, her face bears a slight resemblance to Xiwen!

"Grindelwald, what are you doing here?" Looking at the figure in front of him, Lemay's voice also deepened.

Hearing what Lemay said, Xiwen suddenly looked at the man with blond hair and blue eyes with wide eyes.

'He's Grindelwald?! Sivon swallowed hard, he never imagined that he would meet the most powerful and notorious Dark Lord of all time in Paris.

You must know that Xiwen is just a first-year wizard, and now he has a sense of immediacy when he meets the final boss at the beginning of the novice village......

Grindelwald walked in front of the three of them very leisurely, did not answer Lemay's question directly, just looked at the surrounding golden decoration, and smacked his mouth with emotion: "Paris, what a good place." ”

"I still can't believe that these palatial structures were created by lowly creatures like Muggles, and I can't believe that they were able to create weapons that could pose a threat to the wizarding world. What do you think, Mr. Nicolas Lemay? ”

"Every group has its own unique intelligence, Mr. Grindelwald." Lemay repeated what he had told Shivin to Grindelwald.

"You're right!" Grindelwald didn't refute, but nodded in agreement. "Therefore, we should conquer all Muggles as soon as possible, so as to prevent them from developing too quickly and threatening the safety of the wizarding world. Do you say yes, Mr. Lemay? ”

"Wars are always the result of losing both sides, and I don't think your claims are good for the wizarding world." Lemay shook his head slowly and said firmly.

"Some things aren't taken for granted." Grindelwald played, playing, and said, with disdain in his eyes. "So I'd like to invite you to come to Newmondgaard as a guest and see for yourself what the future holds!"

"I'm glad you think so highly of me that you came to invite me to be a guest." Instead, Lemay's tone calmed down and said softly.

"I'm afraid no one will fail to pay attention to you, Mr. Lemay." Grindelwald curled the corners of his mouth and said to Lemay.

Lemay nodded, looked directly at Grindelwald and said, "In that case, I can go with you to Newmondgard." But I need you to commit to putting my wife and this young gentleman back. ”

"No, you can't!"

"Nick!"

Madame Lemay and Shevin shouted at the same time.
