The so-called alchemy, explained in an easy-to-understand way, is the research direction of trying to "transform" different substances or spirits. The wizard's transfiguration can achieve superficial transformation, but alchemy can "understand"

, decomposition and reconstruction" means to achieve substantial transformation.

Therefore, a powerful transfiguration master can even maintain the transformation obtained for thousands of years, but there will eventually be a time limit; and even the alchemical products converted by the most ordinary alchemists can be transformed over time.

continue forever.

Turning low-value materials into high-value products through alchemy has been the direction that alchemists who are committed to the study of material conversion have been working hard since ancient times.

For example, refining gold is the first goal on this path.

Of course, this goal alone has hindered generations of alchemists for thousands of years. To this day, there are only a few alchemy masters who can successfully convert it.

As for the legendary immortality, that is the more elusive research direction of spiritual transformation in the alchemical system. Currently, the only person in the magic world who has been confirmed to be successful is Mr. Nico Flamel.

The "little game" in the attic that Maka is currently studying involves some basic knowledge of material refining. It is said to be basic, but the knowledge it contains is extremely complicated. Obviously, he is not a beginner in alchemy.

can be solved.

Yes, he wanted to use the intersection of magic and alchemy - soul research as a breakthrough. This idea is indeed no problem, but unfortunately, after checking it all night, he found that it did not include

Alchemical studies of spiritual direction.

"Mrs. Maxim, I think we have to find a suitable alchemist," Maka said to Principal Beauxbatons who came over overnight yesterday, "I'm sorry, my research on alchemy is still too much.

It’s too shallow and not enough to deal with the puzzle in front of me.”

If there is no way, there is no way. Just tell the truth. In the ocean of knowledge, everyone is a lone boat drifting in the waves. Only by following the familiar ocean current can we sail normally.

As far as Maka knew, Dumbledore had devoted himself to studying alchemy, but Maka himself had not. Maybe in the years to come, he might study it, but that should never be now.

The vast knowledge of ancient magic literature alone was enough for him to study for a long, long time.

"Oh, is it so?"

Madame Maxime and the old butler Edward both looked a little regretful, but they were both wizards with considerable knowledge, so they naturally understood that there was nothing they could do about it.

"Thank you for your hard work last night!" Mrs. Maxim regained her energy and said politely, "Then let's go back and have a rest first! As for this problem, I think there will always be a solution."

Soon, they hurried back to Beauxbatons Castle under the radiance of the morning sun, but no one else knew about their departure and return throughout the night. No one would have thought that Nico Flamel

The entrance to the alchemy laboratory was actually hidden almost right under their noses!

Not long after, Maka, who had just separated from Maxim and Edward Sr., came to the door of his room again. He did not go in directly, but reached out and knocked on the door first.

Fanny slept in his room that night, in order to guard against the spies of other forces in the castle, so that she could appear once or twice on his behalf if he failed to come back in time. Although Fanny used

That's what he looks like, but if he knew this and rushed in rashly, it would be a bit inappropriate.

The door opened quickly, and it was obvious that the female steward who took her work extremely seriously had already gotten up.

"Good morning, Mademoiselle Blois!"

Maka said hello to the inside of the door, but after the other party responded quickly, she hurriedly poked her head out and cautiously looked into the corridor.

"Don't worry, there's no one."

Maka said as she turned sideways and walked into the room.

"Mr. McLean," the housekeeper Fanny carefully closed the door, then turned around and made a serious report, "No one came here last night, and the warning spell you left behind was also

Not touched."

"I know," Maka stood by the window and stretched, "I think you probably didn't sleep much all night, right? You can go back to your room and continue to sleep, you don't have to stay here.

Stay with me."

"How is this possible," Fanny said seriously, "Since the master of the house has told me to follow you, how can I just leave your sight casually!"

"Oh?" Maka smiled and nodded, "Then I'll assign you the next task, is that okay?"

"Please say it!" Fanny responded immediately.

"Go to bed!" Maka pointed at the door and ordered, "Be energetic, there are things you need to do tonight! If you are not in good condition by then, that will be a bad thing!"

"OK."

Fanny bowed subconsciously, then turned around and walked towards the door. In front of the door, she suddenly paused, turned her head and looked at Maka with a strange look, and then turned the door handle.

Is there really anything else important to do tonight? Fanny is not stupid. Maka has already said that the primary purpose of this trip was last night, but she has not heard that there is anything important to do tonight.

"Hey! Wait!"

Seeing that she was about to walk out after glancing at him, Maka quickly stopped her.

"Mr. MacLean, is there anything else?" Fanny suddenly stopped and stood there waiting for him to speak.

"Drink the antidote before you go out!" Maka pointed at her face and said, "If someone sees me entering your room, God knows what kind of rumors will be made in the future——

"

Fanny touched her cheek, showing a rare hint of embarrassment. Unfortunately, she was still using Maka's appearance at the moment——

For Maka, seeing 'herself' blush is not a wonderful experience.

After Fanny drank the polyjuice potion and returned to her own form, she left the room under Maka's watch. After that, Maka sat at the table in front of the window.

He came down and shook his head slightly.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of last night to try to enter Nico Flamel's laboratory to find out. As long as he could know what the inheritance contained before others, there would be more operations after that.

room.

Unfortunately, after much research, he still failed to solve the problem.

So next, he had to try to get the right to host the alchemy competition without any shortcuts to follow.

Of course, he not only has Hogwarts on his side, but also has the occasional support from Mr. Blois. With this confidence, he will be very advantageous in the head-on battle.

In order to ensure that the advantage is completely on his side, he will have to find an "old friend" whom he hasn't seen for a long time.

…

When Maka was planning to say "hello" to someone, the fat young master of the Hohenheim family was still lying on the bed under the soft quilt!

This big fat man is not like Maka. Although the latter also liked to sleep in, in these years of living in the magic world, he has gradually become accustomed to researching all night long. Before the effect of the refreshing potion wears off, that guy

I'm afraid I won't go catch up on some sleep or anything.

But our young master Hohenheim doesn’t have so many important things! Sleeping is his biggest hobby in his life besides eating.

"Master, it's time to get up - according to the rules, we have to ask Mrs. Maxim today to say hello - Master? Master?"

The ghost David was floating beside the bed, trying hard to wake up his young master, but he knew very well that this was definitely a very difficult thing.

Ever since he was young, there was only one person who could smoothly wake up the fat young master from bed, and that was his sister.

Young Master Hohenheim, who was fearless, only obeyed his sister. As long as he was lying on the bed, even if his father came, he could just ignore her.

"Master? Master—"

Probably because he was a little unhappy with the call that had been echoing in his ears, the big fat man waved his hand suddenly, and his palm passed directly through David's translucent body. David reluctantly stepped back and started

Thinking of other ideas.

"...Hey, you want me to duel with you, Fatty? Are you...uh...just kidding! You...just wait..."

Amidst the fat young master's murmurs in his sleep, David couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Just when Mr. Ghost was still worrying about how to wake up the young master, a slight noise suddenly sounded in the corridor outside the door, as if something had happened. David saw that he could not wake up the fat man for a while.

The young master thought for a moment, then floated up and walked directly through the wall to the outside of the room.

The place where the sound came from seemed to be in the corner further away. He wandered forward all the way. After a while, when he saw another group of wizards whispering around a corner, he realized that he had found the right place.

place.

As a ghost, it is a benefit to be able to move up and down freely. He easily passed over the heads of the wizards, and looked towards the innermost corner of the crowd amid everyone's curious eyes.

"It seems that this overt and covert fight has already begun... It's time for the young master to be more careful." David frowned and secretly said in his heart, "No, I'd better pay more attention to the young master!"

This time the Hohenheim family allowed the fat young man to come over just to give him some exercise. This guy has not been very fond of going out since he was a child, but he must be made aware of all the worldliness and dangers in this magical world, right? Otherwise, he will be in trouble in the future.

How can I be the master of the house?

However, this time the inheritance publicity incident seems to be more dangerous than imagined. Because of the David incident, someone died on the first night!
