Chapter 245 Nicoléme’s Private Library
After learning that everyone else had left, Kyle was planning to pack up and go back, but Nicolas shook his head and said:
"It doesn't need to be so early, Kyle, if you want, you can stay here for a while."
"And I heard from Albus that you also taught yourself alchemy and invented a very interesting gadget.
It seems to be related to Quidditch, can you let me have a look? "
"It could be...but I don't know if it counts as alchemy."
Kyle took out a transparent snake-shaped bracelet from the shapeshifting lizard pouch, which was the kind he had sold to Malfoy for a hundred Galleons earlier.
After that, he received other orders one after another, but the number was not many, only five.
After all, one hundred Galleons, even Slytherin, few people would spend so much money on a toy.
Now this is what he made in advance, and he plans to use it to develop new customers after school starts.
And this is the only thing related to alchemy in him.
Nico took the bracelet and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Incorporating enchantments into fixed objects... there is no doubt that this is alchemy."
"I think, you must have read the book "Magic Product: Change and Fusion."
Kyle nodded: "I found it by accident in the school library."
"That is indeed a good book on alchemy." Nico said, "Although some of its views are somewhat contrary to mainstream alchemy, it is still good for beginners."
Nico rubbed the bracelet lightly, and continued: "It's rare, your foundation is also very good, even I can only find some insignificant flaws.
From the looks of it, you seem to be very interested in alchemy. "
Kyle nodded without hesitation, "Yes."
At this time, you must be interested. You can't say that you only learned alchemy for the study of Horcruxes.
Kyle doesn't want to go to Nurmengard for further study.
Moreover, as the maker of the Philosopher's Stone, Nicolas May's achievements in alchemy are beyond the imagination of others.
Even if it's just a whim to teach him how to do it, it will be an inestimable wealth for Kyle.
"That's just right, you come with me." Nico returned the bracelet to Kyle, and led him to a circular room.
There is no furniture here, except for a few tables, the rest are all books.
The number is staggering.
Rows of huge bookshelves are neatly stacked together, extending upwards from the ground, as if there is no end.
Nicolas pointed to those bookshelves and said, "There are quite a few books about alchemy here, as well as notes from earlier years. If you're interested, you can take a look at any time."
Kyle looked up at the towering book tower and asked incredulously, "Is this all related to alchemy?"
"Of course not, only a small part."
Nico casually took out a faded copy of "The Tales of Beedle the Poet" from the nearby bookshelf.
"If you want to see others, you can find them here, as you like."
"It's like opening a library at home..." Kyle whispered.
"Not really, it can only be said to be my personal library."
Nico put the book back on the shelf. "The books I collected in the early years are all placed here. At the beginning, there were only a few bookshelves, but after that, there were more and more books, and it gradually became like this."
Is this just from earlier years?
Kyle smacked his lips, even if it's just the ones in front of him, there are already more than the ones in the Hogwarts library...
But Nico seemed to be in a hurry to go back to the opera, and he didn't explain that much. He just said a few words and then walked away in small steps.
Before leaving, he called the house-elf over.
"Tata knows the location of every book, you can ask it if you want to find anything...if there is one here."
……
The door was closed again, leaving only Kyle and Tata staring at each other.
After a while, Kyle asked suspiciously, "These books...do you know where they are?"
"Of course, honored guest." Tata said proudly: "As a qualified house elf, I must be able to find what the master needs at any time. Although it is difficult, Tata has managed it."
"Can you help me find "A Thousand Miraculous Herbs and Mushrooms"?" Kyle asked tentatively.
"Snapped!"
Tata snapped his fingers, and a thick book appeared on the table next to him.
"I also need "Magic Creation: Alteration and Fusion""
"Snapped!"
Another snap of fingers.
This book, stored in the restricted section of Hogwarts, also appeared on the table.
Kyle stepped forward to browse briefly, and the content inside was exactly the same as what he had seen before.
"What about "Let the Blood Boil"?" Kyle narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, and said again.
"Snapped!"
It was still the familiar snapping of fingers, but this time, nothing appeared on the table.
"Forgive me, honored guest!"
Tata bent down quickly, her long nose almost touching the ground.
"You can't see that book!"
"I can't see..." Kyle frowned and said, "Isn't it?"
"It's on the 23rd floor, the seventh row of No.90 on the left."
Tata said precisely: "But you can't see it, so Tata can't bring it to you."
Kyle suddenly realized that there should also be a so-called restricted area here.
But he didn't pay too much attention to it, although for a moment, he really thought about looking for the "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" that he had been thinking of here.
But thinking of the relationship between Nicolas May and Dumbledore, this idea was quickly dispelled.
Anyway, he had already learned about the process of making Horcruxes from Voldemort, so there was no need to take this risk.
"It's okay, Tata, I don't really want to read that book." Kyle calmed down and said, "Can you help me find Nico's notes? I only need the basic ones, the sooner the better."
Tata stood up again.
With a series of "cracking" sounds like setting off firecrackers, the table was quickly filled with various well-preserved notebooks, parchments, and slates.
But when Kyle opened them with full expectation, he found that he couldn't understand them at all, and he couldn't even recognize the symbols that appeared in them.
How should I put it, Nicole May seemed to have a sudden enlightenment, and jumped directly from the second grade of elementary school to the graduate student.
And those blank parts in the middle happen to be what Kyle needs most.
"Is there any earlier?" Kyle asked with a frown.
Tata shook her head.
No way, Kyle changed his mind again and asked Tata to bring the books that Nico had written before.
This time he finally understood.
The Principles of Alchemical Exchange
This is an alchemy textbook written by Nicolas May for Beauxbaton a long time ago, which is just right.
After learning that everyone else had left, Kyle was planning to pack up and go back, but Nicolas shook his head and said:
"It doesn't need to be so early, Kyle, if you want, you can stay here for a while."
"And I heard from Albus that you also taught yourself alchemy and invented a very interesting gadget.
