Chapter 240: Elaboration

"A month, a month—"

Professor Taila's expressionlessness disappeared slightly,

"What year are you in, child?"

"First year, Professor."

Sean spoke.

"Oh! Of course—otherwise it wouldn't..."

The professor was stunned; she paused for a few seconds, then seemed to have no doubt about the truth of this, just her eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth were a bit hard to press down,

"Give me your manufacturing process diagram for the levitating quill... you improved this process, right?

Otherwise, the last step wouldn't be so fitting."

"Yes, Professor."

Sean was a bit surprised; could this be seen?

When making the levitating quill, he realized the sample given by the twins could be optimized; the Wei Silais didn't seem to be able to feel the fine flow of magic directly with their will.

This led to the levitating quill made appearing rough. But Sean was different; he could always perceive the subtle magic within it. Just like what he felt in the flying broom.

So he naturally optimized it, and it wasn't until he finished that he realized the danger of this process.

"Excellent alchemists can feel the profound changes of alchemical creations; it is precisely this point that re-classifies alchemists."

Professor Taila's voice became more and more amiable.

Sean had seen this sentence in a book, and now that it was said by the professor, it felt even more familiar.

"Very familiar, it seems you've read that "The Fifth Element: Exploration"... that's very good."

Professor Taila was even more gratified; what she didn't tell Sean was that on the title page, there were a few big characters—Written by Flora Taila.

"Among all magic branches, alchemy is also the one most dependent on talent; great alchemists link truth through 'aether' and transform the world;

While mediocre alchemists only deserve to be a small clerk at the Ministry of Magic, or become producers of mediocre creations, unable to see the truth in their lifetime."

Professor Taila said as such, then she waved her hand, and a stool jumped out of the office, and she sat down slowly:

"Then tell me, child, why do you want to learn alchemy? In other words, how do you view alchemy?"

Sean was slightly dazed, he thought of the various inventions of Senior Wei Silai, clearly just simple combinations, yet they could produce great effects.

"Alchemy, perhaps, still has many blanks... activated Transfiguration and trigger spells can make Canary Cream, Duplication Spells and Duration Spells can make Eternal Ink; magic, to some extent, completely ignores science.

If there can be Canary Cream, there can be Falcon Biscuits, Shark Pies;

If there can be infinite ink, there should be infinite quills, infinite clothing;

If the greenhouse can be cast with a Constant Temperature Charm, then teapots, clothing, and boots can all possess it.

This is just the part of alchemy explored by predecessors, there are still many parts that are completely blank... wizards can clearly make a teapot boil with a single Fire Charm, but don't know the principle of steam operation; wizards can clearly use duplication and pressure, but don't know the principle of pressure pumps..."

The more he elaborated, the more Sean's eyes shone:

"Why must we study the mysteries of the alchemy field?

Because... it's there."

For a long time, the corridor fell into a deep silence.

Professor Taila thought of many things in an instant; she remembered the alchemists who switched from Muggle Studies at the last alchemy conference, they had shocking whimsical ideas.

Although due to talent limitations, they could only think, acting as a reference consultant.

"Are you a half-blood wizard?"

The professor said softly; her words were impartial, only pure curiosity.

"I am a Muggle-born wizard, Professor."

Sean said.

"I've heard many interesting concepts from that Wei Silai, and the flying car he made is also quite good... every Monday and Wednesday, I have an afternoon left for you."

Professor Taila said softly,

"Child, tell me your name."

"Sean Green, Professor."

Sean replied.

"Flora Taila. Very glad to meet you today. Tell those two Wei Silais, I'll be in this corridor from now on—also, don't pretend to fall every time, no wizard can fall in the same place seven times."

After Professor Taila finished speaking, she gazed at the notes Sean placed on top of a pile of books for a long time.

"You haven't given me your quill manufacturing diagram, Mr. Green."

Sean, who was a bit stunned, reacted, he had forgotten this thing for a moment, so he hurriedly handed over the notes.

In the corridor, Sir Cadogan had clearly been napping more often lately, probably because of the cold weather, the knight drank until midnight every time, and slept all day long.

Sean walked lightly, he was preparing to go to the Transfiguration office to practice Transfiguration, when suddenly two balls of fire red popped out from the corner:

"You came out too fast! How did it go?!"

Senior Fred took off the visor of the armor, revealing the face hidden inside the armor.

"Don't tell us you failed—next time, we'll have to charge Jialong."

George was hiding behind the armor, currently trying hard to pull Fred out of the armor.

Sean waved his wand, and the armor moved on its own, piece by piece detaching, and then reassembling.

"Cool—"

Fred whispered.

"The professor asked me to find her after class."

Sean's words carried gratitude; he thought for a moment and added,

"By the way, the professor said she's always in that corridor—don't pretend to fall every time, no wizard can fall in the same place seven times."

Fred and George's faces turned red, muttering "how can a wizard's thing be called a fall," "it was clearly the ground that was slippery," and then they disappeared.

Sean had expectations for the reliability and unreliability of the Wei Silais; he quickly left the corridor, there were still two days until Wednesday, and in the remaining time, he had to familiarize himself with the framework of alchemy as much as possible.

At the same time, the alchemy office.

Professor Taila sat in the chair, looking at the notes in her hand with interest, her gaze deepening when reading the first sentence: 【Potions should share a source line with alchemy】.

The subsequent elaboration on the three stages of alchemy and the correspondence with potions made her nod slightly.

Although Sean didn't write down the will strengthening method, etc., unknowingly, these theories had long influenced Sean's magical view, causing his notes to always have a deep reflection.

Professor Taila was more and more satisfied; she flipped to Sean's construction diagram of the levitating quill—although still green, the control of details was excellent.

However... what is this "two days"?

The time for engraving runes on the quill?

【Spent two days, barely made a levitating quill...】

Professor Taila stood up.
