To confirm this suspicion, Ivan turned his gaze to Dumbledore's right hand.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore's right hand was always tucked in his sleeve, and he couldn't tell if the other party was wearing the ring...

However, Ivan has never been very interested in the resurrection stone, and he has not cared too much about this.

The purpose of that thing is to give a glimpse of the soul of the deceased.

According to the original book, this soul is still false, and it is just to present you with the appearance of the other party in your memory, which is the most useless of the three holy weapons of death!

While Ivan was thinking to himself, the argument between Dumbledore and Nick still didn't stop.

"Albus, you should know that I've wasted a lot of time..."Nick Lemay had an ugly look on his face, "according to the previous plan, I should have gone... I'm going to accompany her! ”

"You're missing it anyway, aren't you? It's okay to be a little later! Dumbledore said very strongly. You should know that this is not my business alone, and it is not just a matter of British wizarding! ”

"yes, I want you to know what you're doing!" Nick rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Do you really think everything will go the way you think?" Albus... No one is in control, not even God! ”

"Maybe... But I think this is the best chance. Dumbledore replied noncommittally.

He was not willing to have a fearless argument with Nick over this, and quickly changed the subject, asking Nick to fix the Deathly Hallows as soon as possible.

Nick had no intention of backing down, and it would take at least two years to repair such a legendary artifact, even if he tried his best.

Two years?

Dumbledore looked disappointed, which meant he might not live to explore the secret...

"In that case, I'm afraid we'll have to prepare for the worst," Dumbledore muttered to himself as his face became extremely tired.

Unable to get the promise he wanted, Dumbledore slowly got up to say goodbye, turning to leave.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to remind Nick not to forget the previous agreement, and if the situation is unfavorable, he can make his own choice...

Nick nodded, watching Dumbledore emerge from the hut into a cloud of golden flames.

There was silence for a long time, and Nick froze in place, not knowing what he was thinking.

On the side, Ivan didn't dare to bother, and could only silently think about what the so-called "best chance" and "worst plan" meant.

He felt like Dumbledore and Nick weren't just talking about the Resurrection Stone...

"I'm sorry, Hals, I was a little distracted!" After a moment, Nick came to his senses and looked at Ivan with an apologetic expression.

"It's all right, Mr. Lemay!" Ivan shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.

Immediately afterward, Ivan was very curious to inquire about the content of their argument just now, wanting to dig out some inside information.

"You know, when people get old, they can't help but worry about something that doesn't have a score." Nick explained with a smile, obviously with no intention of revealing it.

Ivan pursed his lips, not believing a word.

However, at first, Ivan didn't have much hope, if this matter could tell him, Dumbledore and Nick would not deliberately play sharp and avoid the point when arguing.

Ivan could only guess from what he had learned that the incident might have something to do with Voldemort.

In the original plane, Dumbledore used the Elder Wand and his own death to dig a large hole for Voldemort.

The former is the cause of Voldemort's death, and the latter is also a very important promoter, it is the loss of this great enemy that has always been feared, that Voldemort has changed from a conspirator lurking in the shadows to a reckless man who can only Avada!

You must know that until then, Voldemort's IQ is still fine.

Not only can he take Harry away from under Dumbledore's nose during the Triwizard Tournament, but even after the real resurrection, he did not swear his return to the wizarding world in a high-profile manner for the first time, but decisively hid and accumulated strength, and provoked the conflict between Fudge and Dumbledore by the way!

But all this changed completely after Dumbledore's death, and Voldemort, who felt that he was already invincible, became more and more arrogant.

Coupled with the destruction of Horcruxes one after another, Voldemort's spirit was hit one after another in a short period of time, and he fulfilled Trelawney's prophecy before it was finally planted in Harry's hands.

This is in line with the saying, if you want to destroy people, you must first make people crazy!

It's just that the situation is different now, and Ivan doesn't know if Dumbledore will still use the same method, and it stands to reason that the old professor may not live to that time.

Thinking about things in his heart, Ivan was silent on the surface, pretending to be a little disappointed that he didn't get the news.

Nick said a few words of comfort, then changed the subject, and with great interest tested Ivan's alchemy level.

He had always heard that Ivan was highly talented in alchemy, but he didn't know the specific situation, so of course he had to find out for himself.

In the face of Nick Lemay's examination, Ivan naturally answered the questions fluently, and told the magic script sequence he mastered, as well as the learning progress and methods on weekdays.

Although his alchemy has been upgraded to level six, according to the division of the system level, it is already a level where he can teach and teach people, but because he has never had a strong enough leader, he has read books and pondered many things by himself, and he doesn't know if it's right or not.

Now that he has the opportunity, Ivan certainly won't miss the opportunity to confirm this knowledge.

After Nick Lemay asked for a while, he also changed his previous casual attitude,

Because he sensed that Ivan's alchemy level was far beyond his expectations, and even approached the upper limit that most alchemists could only reach with painstaking research.

This discovery surprised Nick Lemay, and according to the information he received, Ivan also had a high level of potions and was far superior to his peers.

Is there really such an all-powerful genius in this world?

Nick looked at Ivan's immature face and felt very emotional, but he still patiently answered the problem that Ivan encountered in alchemy.

Ivan devoted himself to this kind of question and answer, and almost every once in a while, the system prompt in his head would sound, but Ivan completely ignored it, like a sponge absorbing knowledge quickly.

It wasn't until a few hours later that Ivan's mouth was a little dry, and he subconsciously picked up the teacup on the side and found it empty, so he stopped.

At the same time, the last system prompt sounded.

[Ding, after a period of study, your alchemy level has improved, and the current level is six (1395/16000)]

Ivan glanced at it and found that in the past few hours of hard work, the proficiency of alchemy has increased by more than a thousand points!

You must know that since he absorbed the alchemy knowledge of Bock's vein last year and raised the level of alchemy to level six, the growth of proficiency has been as slow as a turtle crawling, and sometimes he only gives one or two points of proficiency after reading a thick alchemy book.

Compared to the long scalp-numbing proficiency limit, Ivan felt that he would not be able to reach level seven for several years just by studying on his own!

Because of this, Ivan's gaze at Nick became eager, his eyes were full of desire for knowledge points, as if he regarded the other party as a new learning accelerator!

Nick on the other side is also very satisfied with Ivan's explosive curiosity.

After the school examination just now, he has already understood Ivan's foundation.

This little wizard is completely a practical person, and his ability to make alchemy items is very strong, and it is not without shortcomings that the theoretical knowledge is not solid enough...

At the same time, Nick also curiously asked who Ivan learned from in alchemy, with Ivan's current alchemy level, he was already a first-class alchemist in England, who could teach such a monster...

"I don't have a real alchemy teacher, these are all taught to me by my mother, Aisyah." Ivan explained in a way that completely ignored the contributions of Bock and Tom.

"Is that so?" Nick Lemay thought about it, he had never heard of the name Althea at all, and it didn't seem to be a very famous alchemist.

But this is normal, when he was taking the school examination, he noticed that Ivan's learning was very messy, and it didn't look like he had received an orthodox alchemy education, but this also confirmed Ivan's talent in alchemy.

Ye Luzi can learn this level, is the talent not high?

Nick Lemay raised his perception of Ivan in his heart, and after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask. "I wonder what you think of alchemy? Or what do you think alchemy? ”

"Hmm... I think that's how ancient wizards understood the world, and it has the power to turn decay into magic! Ivan spoke, carefully looking at Nick's expression, and seeing that Nick's face had not changed much, he became a little bolder, and continued.

"When I was at Hogwarts, I talked to a lot of wizards from Muggle families, and I heard them talk a lot about the outside world, and I felt that alchemy was a bit like a Muggle program!"

Sorting the magic in a specific way will allow you to cast a specific spell, which is a bit like typing code to run a program.

It's just that computers haven't been popularized yet, and Ivan was worried that Nick wouldn't understand, so he explained it to Nick cracklingly.

Nick Lemay said with a smile after listening to Ivan's words. "That's a pretty new idea!"

"That's... Do you think that's right? Ivan hurriedly asked.

"It's right to say... It can also be wrong! Nick Lemay put away the smile on his face and replaced it with a serious expression, "Because in essence, alchemy is still using the power of magic!" ”

"To understand alchemy, you must first understand what magic is!" Nick Lemay added.

Faced with this profound question, Ivan was completely confused, and he couldn't help but recall the embarrassing scene when he turned into an owl and was harassed in front of Ravenclaw.

The difference is that the bronze eagle guarding the door asks about the nature of magic, not the nature of magic...

Ivan looked at Nick Lemay with great resentment, is it really good to embarrass a little wizard with such a question?

Noticing Ivan's resentful expression, Nick Lemay gradually couldn't hold back the seriousness on his face and couldn't help laughing.

From the moment he entered the door, although Ivan showed a lot of expressions, how could Nick Lemay not see that Ivan's heart barely fluctuated, he was not arrogant or impatient, and he didn't look like a fourteen-year-old wizard at all...

Until now, I couldn't see the appearance of children!

Ivan frowned dissatisfied, looking very unhappy.

Nick Lemay didn't laugh any longer, and after a pause, he continued to ask. "Do you remember the three steps of spellcasting?"

"Use a wand to channel the magic in your body, plus gestures and spells." Ivan didn't care about the little episode just now, but replied seriously.

"Which of these three steps is more important in your opinion?" Nick Lemay asked.

Ivan hesitated, a little difficult to choose, for the average spellcaster, these three steps are indispensable.

But for those powerful wizards, none of these three seem to be indispensable, after all, they can cast spells without a wand or without spells...

Nick Lemay didn't rush to ask Ivan for the answer, but took out a quaint wand from his robe and waved it lightly in a wonderful gesture, his movements were slow, as if he deliberately wanted Ivan to see clearly.

“Scourgify！ (Cleaned up)" Nick Lemay waved his wand and recited the incantation.

A wind of magic blew and rolled up the cups on the table.

It was like a cup surrounded by many invisible brushes, and in a few moments, several teacups became as smooth as new, and slowly stacked on top of each other and fell onto the plate.

Ivan watched silently, but he couldn't understand the meaning of Nick Lemay's move, did he just want to clean up?

Before Ivan could figure it out, Nick Lemay waved his wand again, and it was the same magic again, and the wind of magic began to sweep through the room, sweeping away the dust and straightening the seats.

The alchemy creatures below clutched the corners of the table or against the teacups in panic, for fear that they would be swept out of the house as garbage!

Ivan's expression changed suddenly, because he found that this time Nick Lemay read it not in English, but in French!

Even the casting gestures have changed slightly!

Ivan stood up in surprise, his eyes shining, staring at the legendary alchemy master in front of him, wanting to ask for an answer!

Nick didn't look at Ivan, he stretched out his left hand and placed it on a plate.

Without a wand or spell, the plate suddenly twisted and stretched as quickly as fluid, and a few seconds later a pigeon with white feathers appeared in the center of the table.

The snow-white dove's eyes wandered around, and it landed on Nick's arm with a wave of wings.

Nick came to the window in three or two steps, sent the pigeon out of the house with a shock of his arm, watched it spread its wings, turned to look at Ivan, and spoke.

"There are wizards in all countries of the world, and the spells and gestures they use are not uniform, but magic can still prevail, and I think you already know the mystery, don't you?"

Thanks to the scarab beetle Anthony Stark for the 500 starting coins, and the royal 200 starting coins for the moe reward.
