Two days passed in a flash, and Ivan successfully mastered the magical alchemy circle before Hogwarts started school, but the practice of enchanting magic was not so smooth, and he still can’t do it today. Enchant an item in one second.

However, making the Philosopher's Stone is not a matter of a short while, so Ivan's mentality is very open, the big deal is to go to school to practice more.

On September 1st, the day of school, Ivan got up early, took the suitcase he had packed beforehand, and hurried downstairs.

Perhaps because of the parting, today’s breakfast was extraordinarily rich, with the entire table full. The industrious alchemy creatures were busy going up and down. After seeing Ivan coming, they enthusiastically grouped together to push him away. Got a chair.

The first time I was received such a warm reception, Ivan couldn’t help being flattered. He looked at Nico LeMay by surprise, but the latter didn’t say anything, with a smile on his face, and pointed his finger in front of him. Meals.

Ivan also laughed and stopped thinking about it. He picked up the knife and fork in front of him and feasted on it, and Nicol Lemay also ate a little with Ivan.

About fifteen minutes later, seeing that the departure time was approaching, Ivan, who had eaten and drunk, put down the tableware, turned his head to look at Nico LeMay, with white hair and beard, and said solemnly.

"Teacher, thank you very much for your guidance during this period. I will come to see you again next summer."

Ivan knew that for an alchemist like Nicol LeMay, material rewards didn't make much sense, and the only thing he could do was to accompany him more.

However, after he finished speaking, Nico LeMay shook his head. "You are the most gifted student I have ever seen, Hals. I finished all the courses I prepared for you in just one and a half months. I think I have nothing to teach you..."

"Don't say that, teacher, my alchemy has just started, and there are many things I need to learn from you..." Ivan hurriedly responded.

The deeper I understand the knowledge of alchemy, the more Ivan understands how profound alchemy is.

With his current level of seven-level alchemy, he was only just enough to have access to the most advanced alchemy knowledge, and it would take at least ten or eight years to understand it thoroughly.

This is still based on the teacher's teaching, coupled with system assistance.

So now I suddenly heard Nico LeMay say this, Ivan was very worried, even faintly disturbed.

"Don't be presumptuous, since your current level of alchemy is enough to bear the title of master alchemist, you need to find the way forward on your own. No one can help you..." Nicol LeMay's face remained calm. Slowly replied.

Ivan was eager to say something, but was interrupted by Nicol LeMay again. "Do you remember the question you asked me the other day?"

problem?

Ivan recalled it for a moment, and then remembered that a few days ago, he had curiously asked Nicol LeMay why he wanted to destroy the sorcerer's stone that he had worked so hard to make, but he didn't get the answer by himself.

"Now I can answer you... That's because I don't need the Philosopher's Stone anymore!" Nicole Le May said very freely.

No need? Ivan looked at the master alchemist in front of him unexpectedly, somewhat incomprehensible.

If you change it to yourself, unless you are about to die, you will never be able to give up such a precious treasure.

Wait... die?

Ivan suddenly realized something.

"You are right, Hals, everything has a limit. The power of the Philosopher's Stone can make a person immortal, but it is not immortal..." Nicol LeMay nodded and revealed the answer directly.

"That is to say... you are about to..." Ivan stammered speechless, or said he didn't want to say the result.

"Speaking of it, I should have welcomed death long ago, but I used the power of the Philosopher's Stone to postpone this result for more than five hundred years... it is enough!" Nicol LeMay said with emotion, his face faintly With a little smile, he couldn't see the fear of death.

From the moment he used the Sorcerer's Stone to make the Immortality Potion, he has never stopped drinking the Immortality Potion, and at the same time, his resistance has become stronger and stronger.

In the beginning, he only needed to drink a bottle of potion every three years to maintain his body functions, but the recent drug resistance has become so strong that he must drink potions regularly every few days, and his body is not as good as before.

Although Strictly speaking, Nico-LeMay can still hold on for a few years, but the potion's anti-aging effect is completely useless for his wife who has been with him for more than six hundred years. It also makes no sense.

Because of this, he lent Dumbledore's Philosopher's Stone to make arrangements to deal with the mysterious man, and completely destroyed the Philosopher's Stone that he had worked so hard to make afterwards.

After all, the last reason for his survival is no longer there. If the appearance of Ivan had given Nicol Lemay the idea of ​​cultivating a qualified heir, he should have stopped taking potions and buried him with his wife.

Now, Nico LeMay is very sure that the talented and hard-working little wizard in front of him will surely surpass himself in the future, and even hope to explore the end of alchemy.

And he fulfilled his last wish, and finally he can accept death calmly...

Suddenly knowing that Nicol Leme’s death was approaching, Ivan’s heart was blocked, and his eyes became a little foggy.

He has only been here for less than half a year~com~ but he has already fallen in love with this paradise away from the crowd, and he has already regarded Nicol LeMay as his elder...

I have been studying hard day and night for ten consecutive days, that is, I want to master the method of making Philosopher’s Stone as soon as possible, but I also don’t want to disappoint the other party...

"Death is nothing terrible, Hals, this is part of life, it is long-term peace and tranquility, it is a process that everyone must go through..." Nicol LeMay said to comfort the depressed Yi Fan then took out two thick books and handed them over.

Ivan subconsciously took it over and glanced at them. The two books were "The Book of Jewish Abraham" and "The Book of Hieroglyphics."

"The first book was accidentally obtained by me in my early years, and it recorded a lot of advanced alchemy knowledge. It took me 21 years to interpret it, and in-depth research to produce a Philosopher's Stone..." Nicole Le May murmured He said, looking at the "Book of Jewish Abraham" with a trace of memory, and it took a long time before he regained consciousness.

Then, he introduced the "Book of Pictographic Symbols" to Ivan. This is his usual manuscript for recording magic texts and alchemy circles. It should be able to provide Ivan with some help...
