"Hals, did you encounter something you didn't understand while reading a book?" Nick Lemay put down his work and asked.

"Yes, teacher! I have finished reading this "Modern Alchemy Appendix", but I still don't know much about the alchemy theories expounded in it. ”

Ivan nodded, and instead of rushing to ask about emotional magic, he took out the alchemy notes he had compiled and handed them to Nick Lemay.

"You're done reading it so soon?" Nick Lemay reached out and took the notes, looking surprised.

You must know that this "Modern Alchemy Appendix" was compiled by him for seven years, which can be regarded as a summary of the existing alchemy theories, and the alchemy knowledge contained in it is complex and profound.

在尼克-勒梅看来，伊凡能在这个暑假将这本书读完，并对这些炼金学科有个大致的了解就已经很不错了。

"Sort of, I've read it..."Ivan scratched his head and said uncertainly.

Nick Lemay slowly flipped through the alchemy notes handed over by Ivan, confused.

In the last three days, his research has reached a very critical point, and during this time, he has inevitably neglected to guide Ivan, so his understanding of Ivan's learning progress is still three days ago, and he will be surprised that Ivan has finished reading the "Modern Alchemy Appendix".

"Very good, faster than I expected!" Nick Lemei glanced at Ivan in surprise after a few minutes of going through his notes.

Judging from these notes alone, Ivan's learning progress has exceeded his expectations, and it seems that Ivan has been working hard in the past few days.

Over the centuries, Nick Lemay has taught many apprentices, many of whom are talented wizards, but none of them can match each other in terms of learning ability.

It's no wonder that Ivan was able to achieve such an achievement in several disciplines at such a young age...

Nick Lemay looked at Ivan's immature face, and sighed very emotionally in his heart, in front of this little wizard, other so-called geniuses may be overshadowed.

"It's all thanks to you for answering my questions." Ivan replied very humbly, which also contained a bit of sincerity.

Although he can use the Xueba experience card to improve his thinking speed and obtain extraordinary learning speed, this state is not omnipotent.

Doubts arising from a lack of knowledge cannot be solved even in the experience card mode.

At this time, the effect of an alchemy master who was willing to answer questions for him was revealed, and a few words from the other party could clear the obstacles ahead for him.

Nick Lemay shook his head with a smile and didn't take Ivan's compliment seriously.

In fact, Ivan has been in a semi-self-study state since coming to this alchemy hut, and he can only occasionally find time to give some advice.

Being able to have such a fast learning pace is mostly the result of Ivan's own efforts.

Thinking of this, Nick Lemay couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart, so he made up his mind and took a few pages to explain the alchemy knowledge to Ivan.

Ivan also elaborated on the problems he encountered in the learning process.

After more than an hour of question-and-answer, Ivan suddenly asked out loud.

"Teacher, I saw that this "Modern Alchemy Appendix" says that a clever wizard can increase the power of magic through guidance, use strong emotions, and even integrate the will into it to make extremely powerful alchemy items."

"That's right! But it's not an easy thing to do. Nick Lemay nodded, then wondered why Ivan had suddenly asked this.

"Do you have a way to fix such an alchemy item?" Ivan hurriedly asked.

"Oh? I'll have to show it..."Nick Lemay was a little intrigued, an alchemical item that was incorporated into the maker's will was quite rare.

Ivan hesitated for a moment, then removed the meniscus pendant from his neck and placed it on the table.

"Is this it?" Nick Lemay looked at the silver-white crescent-shaped pendant on the table with interest, and gently swiped it across it with his emaciated, wrinkled index finger, muttering something in his mouth, and the surface of the crescent moon pendant suddenly glowed with a faint luster.

"The main material is Mithril, and in order to strengthen the hardness, some dragon scale fragments and blackstone powder are mixed in. There's something more special besides that," muttered Nick Lemay, who could feel some of the emotions remaining in the crescent moon pendant.

Love... Asylum... Wish...

Combined with the time it was made, judging by the wear and tear of the material, Nick Lemay quickly came to a conclusion and understood how the thing was made.

"That's smart! I could even think of using the emotions condensed in that particular period to amplify the effect of magic... No wonder. Nick Lemay exclaimed.

In his eyes, the alchemy level of the maker of this pendant is not very high, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to pin his emotions on this alchemy item.

But the other party did it in a clever way!

Of course, this trick is not easy at all... Only the other party can do it.

Nick Lemay flipped the pendant and saw the name engraved on it, and he was more sure of his guess, and turned to look at Ivan.

"Hals, did your mother give you this pendant?"

"Looks like she saved your life!" Nick Lemay has seen what this pendant does and understands what it means to be damaged.

"Yes!" Ivan shrugged helplessly, and did not hide that he was forced to fight Voldemort three years ago in order to protect the Philosopher's Stone.

"During the fight, a lot of black mist poured out of Voldemort's body, trying to corrode my body, and it was the crescent moon pendant that protected me and kept me awake!"

Speaking of which, Ivan was also a little afraid.

At the beginning, he just wanted to make a soy sauce and use the plot to kill Voldemort in seconds to complete the task, but he didn't want Harry, who was the absolute main force, to be so ineffective, and he fainted as soon as the fight started, so that in the end, he was in danger.

If it weren't for the shelter of this crescent moon pendant that bought some time, coupled with the sudden awakening of bloodline magic, my body would have been cold a long time ago...

He has made such a great achievement, but Dumbledore, who slammed the door, is only willing to add a little house points to him as compensation...

Ivan was full of resentment, emphasizing that this precious crescent moon pendant was damaged in the battle to protect the Philosopher's Stone, and should be considered damaged due to official duties...

As the owner of the Philosopher's Stone, do you have to fix it for me?

Ivan looked at Nick Lemay with a blank eye, and although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
