"At the beginning, I thought alchemy was esoteric and difficult to understand, and it was a subject with a relatively high threshold. But as my study progressed, I found that it has charm worth exploring."

Till recalled his insights from learning alchemy along the way and continued: "Also, while it is charming, alchemy is also extremely dangerous. Even a small oversight may lead to unacceptable consequences."

Nico Flamel's smile did not change, and Till could not tell from his expression whether he was satisfied with her answer. Nico Flamel just continued to ask: "So, which subject do you think is more difficult, potions or alchemy?"

Till's eyebrows moved slightly and he answered almost subconsciously: "There is no comparison for me, but if we really want to distinguish the difficulty level, I think learning alchemy is more difficult than potions."

This answer obviously made Nico Flamel feel happy. He held the armrest on one side of the sofa with trembling hands and looked at Till with admiration: "I wonder if you have heard a saying."

"An excellent potion master may not necessarily become an alchemist, but an excellent alchemist must be a potion master."

Till listened to his words and nodded in agreement.

The contents of alchemy and potions are somewhat similar. Often, while learning alchemy, one also needs to acquire some knowledge of potions.

Till is now considered to have achieved some success in alchemy, but when reading alchemy books, he often mixes in a few potions books. This is not because she studies half-heartedly, but because she really needs to study the two together.

"Albus said that you studied potions with Snape from Hogwarts for a period of time, and also taught yourself how to refine weapons. Your starting point in alchemy is destined to be higher than others." Nico Flamel spoke highly of Thiel from the very beginning, which made Thiel a little flattered.

Before Thiel could speak modestly, Nico Flamel's words suddenly changed: "But don't think that if you start from a high point, you can go further than others. I will do my best to teach you everything about alchemy. Whether you can learn it or not depends on your hard work and talent."

Till put her hands into fists on her knees. Faced with the pressure of studying, she felt at ease. She looked seriously and solemnly into Nico Flamel's eyes and promised word for word: "I will not let you down."

"Then I'll wait and see." Nico Flamel looked back at Till with a smile.

From this girl's eyes, he saw perseverance and ambition. Logically speaking, such eyes should not belong to a twelve-year-old girl. Children of the same age are often at a stage where they have overcome their ignorance about magic, but are still unable to use it skillfully.

But Nico Flamel is excited to see how far Till will learn.

He wanted to know whether the outcome he was waiting for would disappoint him.

On the first day he came here, Nico Lemay did not arrange a study plan for Thiel. He told Thiel to have a good rest and adjust his condition so that he could better prepare for the next month or so of study.

Thiel readily accepted.

She tasted Madame Flamel's osso bucco and ratin, visited Nicol Flamel's book collection, and even spread flower seeds all over the yard, waiting for them to sprout in the next month. grow.

At the end of the day, Thiel felt particularly peaceful.

When she was lying on the small bed that Madame Flamel had prepared for her, the expected difficulty in falling asleep did not appear. Almost as soon as she closed her eyes, her eyelids fell heavily into sleep.

The next day, Till's biological clock woke her up on time. When she went downstairs after washing lightly, she saw Mr. and Mrs. Flamel already sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper warmly.

"Good boy, did you sleep well last night? I didn't expect you to get up so early." Mrs. Flamel particularly liked Till. If she chose to have children when she was young, it would be best for her to be as well-behaved and cute as Till.

"Good morning, madam, I slept well, and I usually get up at about this time." Till walked to sit down next to Mrs. Flamel, and while replying, he did not forget to look at Nico Flamel, "Good morning, sir." "

"Good morning." Mr. Flamel greeted with squinted eyes, "Perel and I usually get up very early and have already had breakfast. Your share is in the dining room."

Till nodded gratefully to the Flamel couple: "Then I'll go have breakfast first."

"Go." Mrs. Flamel watched Till leave. When she entered the restaurant, she reluctantly withdrew her gaze and looked at the newspaper again, "What a good boy."

Nico Flamel heard the slight regret in his wife's tone, and tightened his grip on the newspaper: "Perel, are you..."

"I just like her very much." Mrs. Flamel took her husband's arm and slowly rested her head on Nico Flamel's shoulder, just like she had done hundreds of years ago. "I don't regret not having a child, just like I don’t regret marrying you."

Others say that if you have the magic stone, you will have the secret to immortality, but no one knows that once you start taking the elixir, you will almost be insulated from your children.

This was gradually discovered after they drank the elixir of life. Although they had a chance to have children before drinking it, Nicolas Flamel was busy studying alchemy at that time, and Madame Flamel also had her own career. The two unanimously chose to temporarily Don't want kids.

They really didn't expect that the elixir of life would lead to a lifetime of childlessness, but after the frustration in the first few years, they slowly realized that staying with each other was more important than their children.

Madame Flamel had long since stopped caring about her children, and even though she would regret it occasionally, the only thing she valued most was her husband, and only the remaining time they could spend with each other.

Nico Flamel patted his wife's hand on his arm without speaking.

He is not good at talking about love, and the couple have been together for hundreds of years. A look or an action is far more sincere and useful than love words.

Till didn't know that the Flamel couple had such a small conversation while she was having breakfast. After she took the dishes to the kitchen and put them away, the study of alchemy was finally about to begin.

Nico Flamel took Till to a door on the first floor. After pushing it open, a downward escalator appeared: "Down here is the basement. We will all study there in the future."

This was the first time that Thiel had a basement under his house, so he curiously and cautiously followed Nico Flamel down there.

The basement was not as dark and damp as Teal had imagined. There were enough candles to illuminate the huge basement, and there were several exhaust windows, so there was no need to worry about being suffocated here.

"You go and sit over there." Nico Flamel pointed to a set of tables and chairs, and then started rummaging in front of a row of bookshelves.

Till walked over obediently and found that this set of tables and chairs looked very new and was not consistent with the age of other things around him. He immediately understood that this set of tables and chairs was specially prepared for her.

Till put the notebook and quill he was holding on the table, feeling a little warm in his heart. But as soon as her mood changed, a book thicker than three bricks stacked together was placed in front of her, and Tier's expression was instantly stunned.

"This is the first book you have to read. After reading it and understanding it thoroughly, we can officially start." Nico Flamel clicked on the torn writing, then put a small clock on the table. "Hurry up and watch."
