Chapter 140 Theory Follow-up
It was late at night, and two people were sitting on the sofa in the room, talking about alchemy.
But more often than not, Wright was talking and Nico was listening!
However, he would occasionally point out the errors in Wright's conclusions and make suggestions for revisions.
After a series of questions and answers, Nico had a pretty good idea of Wright's background.
And he came to his own conclusion that this little wizard was a very typical alchemist inherited from a family.
All knowledge is acquired through the family's collection of books and the cultivation of the elders in the family.
Such alchemists have relatively weak foundations, but also have some extremely advanced alchemical knowledge mixed in.
They even make some strange alchemical tools passed down from their ancestors.
After finding out the details, Nico looked at the talkative boy with his eyes full of memories.
At the corners of his dry mouth, a smile appeared unconsciously and he asked, "I don't know, what do you think of the future of alchemy?"
"I think modern alchemy has a very good future. Ancient alchemy will probably be eliminated in a hundred years!"
Wright didn't think too much and just said what he thought.
"What do you mean?" Looking at the young man in front of him, Nico's eyes became softer.
After carefully looking at Nico, who had a gentle expression, Wright began to express what he had considered.
"Hmm...! It should be considered the changes of the times and the integrity of the system."
"The person who taught me once said that due to the changes in the times, many raw materials used to make black magic props have disappeared or been banned."
After finishing speaking, he carefully glanced at the founder of modern alchemy in front of him and continued:
"The modern alchemical system is based on magical texts. It has a wide range of applications and is not limited by materials."
"More importantly, its entry level is not very high. Coupled with the increasing number of half-blood wizards, its popularity will be very wide."
After listening to Wright's speech, Nico couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Your opinion is very similar to someone I know."
"So what do you think?" Wright scratched his head and looked at Nico with some curiosity, his face full of memories.
"You can say that it's right, but not completely!" Nico's smile and reminiscence faded away, and he continued to speak seriously:
"As long as pure-blood wizards still exist, ancient alchemy will never fade away."
"They have a large collection of alchemical tool blueprints. As long as they are willing, any restrictions you mentioned will not be a problem."
"Not only that, they will suppress and control."
Faced with the answer to this question, Wright couldn't help but reveal an expression of 'I see'.
I saw Wright showing an expression similar to Dumbledore's after he knew the answer.
The serious look on Nico's face gradually disappeared, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
After hearing the laughter, Wright looked at Nico with confusion, who suddenly smiled.
Facing Wright's puzzled look, Nico just waved his hand and said, "It's just that I'm getting old and I like to reminisce about the past more."
After finishing speaking, Nico paused, then asked Wright seriously:
"Wright Rags! Will you be my last student?"
Nicolas Flamel looked at Wright seriously with his eyes that were full of wisdom but extremely turbid.
"I'm honored, Sensei!"
Suppressing the feeling of being so happy that he wanted to jump up, Wright gave a very serious reply.
Hearing Light's reply of agreement, a relieved smile appeared on Nico's old face.
Not long after, Nico, who was teaching for the last time, started his lesson directly!
It seems as if he is afraid that if he is slow, he will have regrets.
Faced with the teachings of the top master, Wright prepared to listen attentively.
"Alchemy and magic are basically the same. They are both about the use of magical power."
"It's just that wizards use spells, while modern alchemical tools use magic runes. Ancient alchemy relies more on the power of rituals."
'The origin of all magic comes from a strange ritual.'
'It was that ceremony that made wizards realize the existence of magic and began to use it.'
After that, Nico looked at Light and said slowly: "You know, the magic power of a wizard is generated by the overlap of spirit and soul."
"In a sense, magic is the embodiment of the spirit, so it can realize whatever you want."
"And wands and spells are created to restrain disordered magic (spirit)."
"And the restricted magic power will change in the set direction."
After saying all this, Nico paused, breathing slightly.
"This theory..."
After hearing Nico's speech, Wright felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment.
After all, this was just a small guess of mine. I didn't expect that the other party would attach so much importance to this theory.
After a long time, Nico finally calmed down his rapid breathing and continued, "So, the essence of all rituals is self-hypnosis."
"Through the external environment, the arrangement of ritual objects, and even one's own actions, all are for self-hypnosis."
"Let the magic (spirit) think that completing the ritual will bring about the effect."
……
Looking at the teacher in front of him, who was over six hundred years old, Wright admired his wisdom and knowledge.
"I only proposed the beginning of a theory, and this old man completed it."
At the same time, he felt a sincere gratitude in his heart, thanking him for improving the information, theories and vision for the future.
If he were to do this kind of deep thinking on his own, it would probably take him a long time to break through.
After sighing, another idea popped up in his mind:
"Could it be that the teacher decided to teach me alchemy because of this theory?"
Just as Light was daydreaming, Nico seemed to notice his thoughts and began to explain:
"That's exactly why I told Dumbledore that I wanted to talk to you."
"Because this theory solved my inner doubts, I can leave without any worries."
Facing Wright's puzzled look, Nico didn't say much, but changed the subject and said with a smile:
"It's late at night, kids should go to bed."
"Let's start the next class tomorrow!" After saying that, Nick took Wright to the room prepared for him.
Wright breathed a sigh of relief after following the staggering Nico to the front of the room. He had been afraid that he would fall along the way.
"This is your room!" Nico said as he opened the door.
Through the door, Wright looked inside. It was a very ordinary little room.
It is about 30 square meters in size, and is fully equipped with a wardrobe, bed, and desk, and everything is very clean.
After making arrangements with Wright, Nico left here tremblingly again.
