Chapter 85 In retreat and practicing...

As expected by Bell, Mrs. Perenal did not come back until lunch time.

Mrs. Perenal is a very enthusiastic and cheerful person. After Teacher Nico introduced Bell’s identity, she asked him to ask questions. She looked very happy, and Bell couldn’t bear her. Enthusiastic.

So in the previous video, the so-called asking Teacher Nico to ‘explain it well’ really meant accepting a disciple.

Lunch was prepared by the house elves. To celebrate, the house elves tried their best to prepare a table full of meals. The delicious food soothed Bell's sad heart at not being able to see his sister.

After a pleasant lunch, Bell felt less estranged, and getting along with his teacher and his wife became more natural.

"Nico, you haven't told me why you suddenly decided not to die?"

After the meal, the three of them sat on the sofa and drank tea while chatting. Perenal finally asked the question she had not had time to ask just now.

"Because Bell showed me an interesting future, a future that we have never thought about. I also want to explore the vast universe."

Nico then started talking when Bell entered the door and recounted Bell's space exploration plan in detail.

After hearing Nico's retelling, Perenal didn't express anything special, he just smiled casually.

Bell looked at his master's wife. He felt that Mrs. Perenal didn't care about that at all, maybe she only cared about Teacher Nico. Whether in life or in death, she will always be by Teacher Nico's side.

Even though he didn't want to admit it, Bell did feel a little jealous at this moment. Will there be such a person in the future, and will he be willing to be by his side all the time?

If he could, he would give everything he had for it.

Of course, Zannah is not included. Her sister only belongs to herself, not to Bell.

By the way, while having lunch, Teacher Nico had already regained his youthful appearance. If he ate like an old man, Bell was really afraid that he would choke to death in the next moment.

…

After chatting for more than an hour, feeling that it was almost time to rest, Teacher Nico took Bell to his alchemy laboratory.

The laboratory is very empty. There is a large experimental table in the center, and the walls are surrounded by cabinets. Some of them contain Teacher Nico's alchemy works, and others are filled with alchemy materials.

Bell observed carefully and found that although the number of materials was not large, the types were very rich, and all kinds of common and rare magic materials could basically be found.

"Before I formally teach you alchemy, I need to understand your current alchemy level. You can freely use the alchemy materials here to make a magic prop that you are most satisfied with. By the way, try not to choose the production period Too long."

After saying that, Teacher Nico sat on the chair next to the experimental table and signaled Bell to start.

Bell wandered around the laboratory, observing Teacher Nico's works and selecting the materials to be used next.

When it comes to the most satisfying magic prop, Bell has only one answer, and that is the Iron Armor Spell Jewelry (Passive).

It's actually not too difficult to attach the Iron Armor Charm to an accessory, at least Bell doesn't think it is. But that doesn't mean much to Bell. He can cast the Iron Armor Curse himself.

It is very difficult to change the triggering conditions of the Iron Armor Curse to passive triggering. Not only does it need to strengthen the magic storage capacity of the jewelry, but more importantly, it needs to set the triggering conditions.

If the trigger conditions are set too strictly, the person may be bounced away by the Iron Armor Curse just because they want to shake your hand; if the trigger conditions are set too loosely, everyone may die before the Iron Armor Curse is triggered.

Bell also spent a long time thinking and experimenting before finally successfully setting a trigger condition that satisfied him. But even so, he will now conduct new research and experiments from time to time to ensure that the iron armor charm jewelry can truly protect the user's safety.

Bell took out some ores, blood and bones of magical animals and other materials from the cabinet, and came to the experimental table to start making an iron armor charm ring.

He first used the flame spell to refine the ore, then fused the metal solution with the bones of magical animals, and then added some liquid secreted by magical plants to separate impurities. After the metal cools down, use transfiguration to change the metal into a long strip, and use the blood of magical animals to engrave magic words on the metal strip. This step determines whether the ring can cast the iron armor spell.

It took about 10 minutes for Bell to complete the inscription of the magic text. Bell didn't know how many times he had done similar operations, so there was almost no chance of failure.

Next comes the final and most complicated step - setting passive trigger conditions.

Bell took out a cut gemstone. He soaked the gemstone in the magic solution, pressed his wand against the outer wall of the container, and controlled the magic power to inscribe magic words inside the gemstone.

After more than 10 minutes, Bell finally finished. He took out the gem, cleaned the solution attached to the surface, took the ring he had just made, and set the gem on it.

Originally, the ring should be further refined and carved with some exquisite patterns. On the one hand, it would make the ring more beautiful, and on the other hand, it would also cover up the magic text. But now that I want to show my alchemy skills to Teacher Nico, there is no need to add any unnecessary extravagance.

Nico has been watching his disciple's every move carefully. To be honest, Bell's level was somewhat beyond his expectation. After taking the ring handed over by Bell, he observed it carefully for a while and tested the function of the ring.

"Bell, have you always studied alchemy by yourself?" Nico asked in disbelief.

He was a little frightened by the level of his disciples. Of course, it doesn't mean that Bell's alchemy level has surpassed his. If that were the case, he would probably be so embarrassed and angry that he would hang himself by now.

More than 600 years of life have been in vain!

The main reason why Nico was scared was that Bell was only 12 years old now! Look at the other first years at Hogwarts. That's normal, okay? Bell's excellence is a bit beyond the standard. Do his parents know?

"No, teacher. In the past few years, my parents invited some powerful wizards to teach me. Mr. Stark taught me a lot of alchemy knowledge."

"Adams Stark?"

"Yes."

Nico nodded understandingly, so it made sense. perhaps?

Stark is also a famous alchemy master. Although he can't compare with him, he basically belongs to the top group.

If Bell could reach this point by relying on his own study without any guidance, he would have to wonder if Bell was the reincarnation of Merlin.

"Very good, I have understood your level of alchemy. In terms of practical operation, you have done very well, especially when inscribing magic words, the operation of magic is very smooth, and even many so-called alchemy techniques Even a master can't be that fluent. Next, you need to learn more theoretical knowledge, especially knowledge related to ancient magic texts."

Nico took Bell to the library on the third floor. About half of the books here were collected by him little by little over the past few hundred years, and about half were written by him himself.

He took out his wand and waved it, and the densely packed books flew off the bookshelf and piled on the table in front of Bell.

"These books are what you need to master next. Read them in order from left to right. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me at any time. Do you have any questions?"

"Teacher, can I make a copy of these books?"

Bell looked at the pile of books in front of him. Many of the books in them were ones he had never heard of. Although I have heard of some others, they have been lost outside. Only some big families may have 1 or 2 copies in their collections.

"Yes, but you have to be careful. There is a lot of knowledge in it that is very dangerous, so don't give it to others easily."

Nico agreed to Bell's request without any hesitation. After all, this knowledge is the precious wealth of wizards, and he has no habit of using knowledge as burial objects. In his original plan, he planned to donate these books to various magic schools before his death.
