Chapter 87 Out of seclusion!

Bell just lived in Teacher Nico's home.

Basically, except for eating and sleeping, Bell stayed in the library. When he encountered a problem that he couldn't figure out, he would come out to ask Teacher Nico for advice.

Mrs. Perenal was very dissatisfied with Bell's performance of hard work!

Finally, a cute little kid came to the house, and she wanted to chat more with Bell. So she repeatedly suggested that Bell should relax and take some time to play. Many of Nico's alchemy items are quite fun. If you don't know how to use them, your master can teach you how to use them.

Bell always ignored his master's wife's persuasion casually.

Just kidding, what toy can be magical and fun! ? Don't stop me, I want to learn! ! !

Bell, who was immersed in the joy of learning without eating or sleeping, completely forgot about time. After being told by Teacher Nico that he could start learning how to make the Magic Stone, he realized that before he knew it, more than half of the summer vacation had passed.

Finally, he was about to start learning how to make the magic stone, and Bell felt excited.

However, it did not last for an hour, as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, half of his enthusiasm was extinguished.

The cycle of making the magic stone is really too long!

Even if all the materials are prepared, it will take about 2 years for Teacher Nico to make a magic stone.

Among the materials needed to make the magic stone, the acquisition requirements for some materials are too demanding. Even with the family wealth and connections accumulated by Teacher Nico for hundreds of years, coupled with the full collection of the current Menethil family, It is also impossible to collect all the materials at once.

"Teacher, can we find a way to make some inferior versions of the magic stones? When the demand for magic power is relatively small, it is very wasteful to use the full version of the magic stones. So can we shorten the production by lowering the quality of the materials? Period, how about making some inferior versions of magic stones with a lower magic conversion speed?"

Bell wants to get a magic stone as soon as possible, even if it is an inferior version. Because space exploration cannot be carried out immediately after getting the magic stone. Before that, various experiments and research are needed.

"I can't give you a definite answer to this. It's not a simple matter to convert other forms of energy into magic power. It has high requirements on materials. So if the quality of the materials is reduced, I don’t know if it can be made successfully. I can only say that if we can find a balance between material quality and magic power conversion speed, it should be theoretically possible to make an inferior version of the magic stone.”

Since Mr. Nico was not sure whether it was feasible to make an inferior version of the Philosopher's Stone, Bell temporarily put aside that idea and concentrated on learning how to make the Philosopher's Stone with Mr. Nico.

At present, 80% of the materials needed to make the magic stone have been collected. As for the remaining 2 achievements, we can only wait. Some special materials can only be collected at special points in time, and this cannot be rushed.

However, that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do but wait. Those materials are basically only used in the later stages of production, but now Bell can learn the early production process and theoretical knowledge from Teacher Nico first.

…

"Bell——! Come down and eat——!"

Mrs. Perenal's voice came from downstairs again. She had basically given up trying to persuade Bell.

Bell was so annoyed before that he finally decided to introduce his mother and sister to his wife.

I don’t know if they are compatible by nature? Or maybe it's because Master Mu gets along well with everyone?

In short, Mrs. Perenal's relationship with Elena and Shanna heated up very quickly, to a level that even Bell found unbelievable. But this was a good thing, and Bell finally got rid of his master's wife's entanglement and was able to study quietly.

Maybe it's because of the advice of his mother and sister? Although Mrs. Perenal no longer prevents Bell from studying, she is stricter about his daily schedule.

Bell had strict requirements on what time to eat and what time to go to bed, and he couldn't be even a minute late!

No, it was dinner time again. Bell was sure that if he didn't show up at the dining table within a minute, he would have to repair the door again after dinner.

Because the master's wife would definitely kick the door open, rush in and slip Berti out.

"Bell, you don't need to study tomorrow." Mrs. Perenal suddenly said at the dinner table.

Bell looked at his master's wife strangely. Didn't she stop holding on to him many days ago? Why are the old things brought up again today?

"You brat! You didn't forget that you are going home the day after tomorrow, right? Have a good day of relaxation tomorrow and chat with us two old people. I don't know when you can come back next time!"

Only then did Bell notice that school would start in 4 days!

Bell is preparing to go home for three days of rest at the end of the summer vacation. If Bell didn't go back even a day during the two-month summer vacation, he doubted whether his mother and sister would go to Hogwarts to find him.

In fact, if it hadn't been for the two of them not being able to find it because it was so well hidden in Teacher Nico's home, Bell believed that there wouldn't be only three people sitting at the dining table eating now.

During this summer vacation, except for the basic training every morning, Bell put all the other content that had nothing to do with alchemy aside, and devoted all his attention to the study of alchemy knowledge. Even the video chat time with her sister was shortened to the extreme. The little girl was very unhappy about this. She didn't know how long it would take Bell to comfort her before she could recover.

However, the harvest from this summer vacation is also very impressive. Bell not only greatly enriched his knowledge of alchemy, but also successfully mastered the theoretical knowledge required to make the magic stone. As long as the materials are ready, Bell can make the magic stone independently!

Of course, only God knows the success rate.

And this is not the most important gain! With the help of Teacher Nico... Well, actually with the help of Bell, Teacher Nico successfully further improved the surveillance mirror. The surveillance mirror can now successfully cast Apparition and Apparition!

It can be said that everything is ready now, all that is left is the magic stone!

When he thought about going home the day after tomorrow, Bell couldn't sit still.

‘Why don’t you just go back a day early? ’ Bell thought.

But looking at Mrs. Perenal's expression, Bell really didn't have the courage to say it, otherwise he suspected that he might not be able to get out of the house.

After dinner, Bell simply rested from tonight.

After summarizing the results of the past two months with Teacher Nico and making arrangements for subsequent study and research, Bell returned to his bedroom and prepared to chat with his sister for a while.

‘…’

‘Why did Shanna hang up my video! ? ’

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Bell was so panicked that he quickly sent another video request to his mother Elena, and this time the call was answered quickly.

"Mom, why doesn't Shanna answer my video!? What happened!?"

"Why didn't she answer the call? Don't you have any idea?"

Elena looked at her son with a sneer. She was both in love and angry with her careless son.

"He ran off to study under his master without saying a word. He didn't even discuss it with us when he didn't go home during the summer vacation! When you come back, let's see how I deal with you! Hmph!"

After saying that, Elena hung up the video.

o((⊙﹏⊙))o.

Bell felt like he was going cold...
