From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

After Ivy finished reading the letter left by the alchemist, the bodies of the two old men on the couch turned into a pool of ashes and dust in a flash of light.

It seems that Nicolas Flamel's magic not only preserved his body well, but also helped Ivy to deal with the remains.

Now all Ivy had to do was find a container to collect the ashes of the two alchemists, and then climb Mont Blanc to keep them there forever.

Ivy was sure that Perenelle didn't know what Nicolas wrote in the letter, otherwise she would definitely not agree to mix her ashes with this old pervert.

In addition to the alchemist's collection, another thing mentioned in the letter also attracted Ivy's attention.

That is, Nicolas mentioned the word "spiritual world" in the letter, as if they had known about the world of the dead for a long time.

Ivy didn't know whether Nicolas Flamel had learned this knowledge a long time ago, or because he was approaching the end of his long life, he gained some knowledge and insights related to the spiritual world.

At least Ivy had never heard Dumbledore say such a word before hearing the word "spiritual world" from Harry who had returned from the spirit world. As an old friend who had corresponded with Nicolas Flamel when he was still in school, if Nicolas Flamel had really studied the spirit world a long time ago, he would definitely not keep it secret from someone like Dumbledore.

As the greatest white wizard of the 20th century, Dumbledore is qualified to be Nicolas Flamel's research partner, or in other words, he has long been Nicolas Flamel's research partner.

Therefore, it is strange not to share the content about the spirit world with him.

If Nicolas Flamel escaped death by using the elixir of immortality, it is understandable that he could catch a glimpse of the scales and claws of the spirit world when the potion's effect faded.

Ivy didn't know whether the death god who appeared in the three Peverell brothers really existed, but he maintained a very restrained attitude towards it.

The experience of meeting the only god Ilúvatar in the world of Arda has already made him feel a certain awe. Unlike humans and other creatures that can be traced, the origin of a god is impossible for Ivy to verify, even though he has become a nine-ring spellcaster.

He is not sure whether there is such a god of death in the wizard world, nor is he sure whether this god of death is in charge of the death of all mankind, or is only responsible for collecting the souls of wizards.

If there is really a god of death, do other gods in myths circulating in the world really exist?

Ivy cannot explore these questions for the time being, but regarding the spirit world and the god of death, he knows that there is a place that must have a deep connection with them.

Located at the bottom of the British Ministry of Magic, in the Death Hall of the Department of Mysteries, there is a very old archway. The archway is made entirely of stone and has long been dilapidated. Unlike the first impression given to people, the archway still stands in its original place, with only a tattered black curtain covering it. It is said that behind the door is the world of the dead.

In the original book, Sirius died completely after falling into the curtain.

Now Ivy has learned some knowledge about the spirit world from Harry, and he can't help but guess that the stone arch in the Death Hall is an entrance to the spirit world in the real world.

The plan to explore there has been put on Ivy's agenda.

His resurrection spell has been proven to be effective. If a device that automatically uses the resurrection spell can be made, Ivy thinks that even if passing through the stone arch will lead to death, it is acceptable. Because that means a completely unfamiliar field and more mysterious knowledge.

Although Ivy now knows the existence of the spirit world, what form this plane with only the dead and shadows exists in is an unsolved mystery for Ivy.

When he came back from outside the universe, he appeared directly in the solar system, or more precisely, in the earth-moon system. This is a very small possibility for the known frontier of the universe for Muggles. It is even more difficult than finding a needle in the sea.

There are still many things Ivy doesn't know, and there are more secrets in this world that have not been made clear. Maybe Ilúvatar was able to send him back to the Earth-Moon system precisely because he discovered a god with similar attributes to him on Earth.

However, this is only a guess of Ivy for the time being, and it is meaningless before it is confirmed.

After a rough look at the various things in the alchemist's house, Ivy took the ashes of the two old men and began his journey to climb Mont Blanc.

Mountaineering has never been a difficult task for people who can fly and teleport.

Mont Blanc in the Alps is more than 4,800 meters above sea level and is a mountain covered with snow all year round. In French, Mont Blanc means White Mountain. Since it is the highest peak in Western Europe, it can be seen in almost every corner of the Alps.

The clear weather in midsummer makes Mont Blanc look taller. The white snow and glaciers reflect the sunlight, making the already tall peak look more majestic than it really is.

Seeing the climbers below who took advantage of the good weather to reach the top, Ivy cast an illusion spell on himself in the air.

Although wizards have been hiding in Muggle society for thousands of years, Muggle society is not ready to accept another unscientific force.

Skimming over the white snow and blue glaciers, Ivy landed on the top of Mont Blanc before everyone else.

The snow underfoot was thick, proving that there was sufficient precipitation this year, and there was less severe convective weather on the top of the mountain.

Such weather conditions could make Mont Blanc grow several meters taller. If the climbers below the mountain were not careful enough, accidents might happen.

Ivy took out the urn he carried with him and scattered it facing south, where the Italian border was. I wonder if there was any Italian beauty that Nicolas Flamel had been thinking about among the climbers. If he was lucky, he could fulfill his wish before his death by settling down on Mont Blanc.

After observing the distance between the climbers for a while, Ivy cast a spell to turn the snow underfoot into solid ice. As long as they were fully equipped, the solid ice would provide them with a safer climbing environment.

After completing everything, Ivy cast a teleportation spell and disappeared in the surprised eyes of the climbers.

Back in the familiar castle of Hogwarts, the first thing Ivy had to do was to try to merge Nicolas Flamel's alchemist's house with the Room of Requirement.

But his attempt was not smooth, probably because the two magic rooms used different casting logic.

In this case, Ivy did not force it, but treated the Alchemist's House as the second magical room in the Destruction Grimoire, and changed the entrance from the rag tent hidden by his Fidelius Charm to a more imposing and magical book page entrance.

After doing all this, Ivy began to use the Scholar's Touch to read the alchemical manuscripts left by Nicolas Flamel. Now his [Dazzling Sorcerer] level has reached level 20, and the [Volatile Casting] feature allows him to continuously create new first-ring spell slots, so reading, which is not very friendly to poor students, has become a kind of enjoyment.

You can get a lot of new knowledge every six seconds. Isn't this much higher than the information density of the book-teaching short videos that appeared 20 or 30 years later?

After a whole day of high-density information bombardment, Ivy got a new profession-alchemist.

Unlike any profession Ivy has seen before, the Alchemist itself does not provide any new spell slots or spellcasting methods, but it can achieve very interesting auxiliary effects.

And it is worth noting that this does not mean that [Alchemist] is a completely barbarian profession, it is still a profession that relies on knowledge.

Or it can be said that [Alchemist] relies entirely on knowledge.

Because it does not require any experience points to upgrade, and does not provide expertise and attribute value rewards after upgrading.

The promotion of [Alchemist] career level depends on [Alchemy Research] and [Alchemy Discovery]. The former represents how much energy and time Ivy has invested in a certain sub-field of alchemy, and the latter is his research results.

By continuously conducting [Alchemy Research] and [Alchemy Discovery] in alchemy, Ivy's [Alchemist] level will be improved and new career features will be unlocked.

The first-level [Alchemist] gives Ivy the following benefits.

First is [Chemical Alchemy]. Alchemists are not only good at making simple alchemical products, but also good at making potions and items made from a variety of magic raw materials.

Relying on these magical potions and items, [Alchemists] can use them to show magical magic power.

For Ivy, this means that he can easily infuse the magic power provided by his other professions into medicine bottles or other magic items. The level of spells that can be effective through [Chemical Alchemy] depends on the professional level of [Alchemist].

Ivy can perform a limited number of [Chemical Alchemy] per day, which is equal to the professional level of [Alchemist] plus Ivy's intelligence adjustment value. Now this number is 1+7=8 times.

In addition to [Chemical Alchemy], [Alchemists] are also very familiar with mixing various unstable compounds and infusing their own magic power into them to make powerful [Alchemical Bombs] to destroy their enemies.

The number of times you can make an [Alchemical Bomb] is the same as the number of times you can make [Chemical Refining], but the [Alchemical Bomb] is extremely unstable, so if you can't use it immediately after making it, it will become ineffective. Therefore, in general, the [Alchemical Bomb] cannot be large-scaled or stored for a long time, unless Ivy has made some new progress in alchemy.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Although it seems that the practicality of the [Alchemical Bomb] is not as good as the Muggle firecrackers, magic ensures that it can be used in any worldview where magic exists. If Ivy leaves the earth and goes to other multiverses, the difference between realities may cause the original technological products to be ineffective. The [Alchemical Bomb] avoids this possible disadvantage.

However, judging from the pitiful damage of the [Alchemical Bomb] (1d6 + Intelligence modifier + 1/2 level d6), Ivy is likely not to use it before enhancing it with the new [Alchemical Discovery].

The third professional ability of the [Alchemist] is called [Mutation Potion]. This is a potion specially prepared according to the [Alchemist]'s own physique. It can enhance another physical attribute by temporarily damaging a certain mental attribute, or vice versa.

It takes 1 hour to make a [Mutation Potion]. However, after it is made, it will not expire until it is used.

After drinking Ivy's [Mutation Potion], you will get a +4 alchemical bonus to one attribute according to the type you made in advance, and another attribute will suffer a 2-point penalty. In addition, you will also get a 2-point bonus to natural defense. The effects of mutagen potions will not stack, so even if Ivy can make multiple [Mutation Potion], only one will be effective.

Researching alchemy is a happy process for Ivy.

What's more, he is more concerned about the alchemical animals stored in the alchemy house.

Therefore, the first [Alchemical Discovery] he obtained was [Primary Construct Creation]. Under the conditions of meeting the material requirements, Ivy can create small construct creatures that can move freely, which is similar to the fire dragon statue he created with the activation spell before.

However, once the construct is created, it will continue to exist unless it is fatally injured. The fire dragon wonder that Ivy made with the dragon's breath will gradually lose the power of activation magic within 20 years and become a thing that can give the user the dragon's breath three times a day.

From the perspective of durability, there is no doubt that the construct wins. And the construct life has many additional benefits, such as immunity to all mental effects and mental damage, and immunity to a series of abnormal states such as bleeding, disease, paralysis, poisoning, sleep and shock.

If Ivy creates some powerful construct creatures as partners and guards, then it will obviously greatly increase his team's combat capabilities.

And the new discovery of [Primary Construct Production] also allows Ivy to obtain a new [Alchemist] career level, but the new career feature is useless and only provides resistance to poison damage. Ivy already has many ways to be immune to poisoning and poison damage, so this career feature will not be repeated.

For a period of time afterwards, Ivy was busy researching new constructs at Hogwarts until a letter sent by owl reminded him of another major event.

Lucius Malfoy invited him to Malfoy Manor to discuss the execution of making a big noise at the Quidditch World Cup. Since establishing a closer connection with his contracted warlock, Ivy sent a letter to Lucius through Dumbledore, so even though he was away for nearly a year, the plan to lure the snake out of its hole has been proceeding in an orderly manner.

In this nearly one year, Lucius has almost exceeded the task that Ivy gave him. Not only has the scale of the Quidditch World Cup been expanded to an unprecedented level, but also through official publicity channels, the Nimbus 2077 has been sold at a good price.

He wrote in the letter that several countries' Quidditch professional teams have ordered flying brooms from the Nimbus Company, which not only earned a considerable amount of gold galleons, but also gained huge influence.

However, Ivy now has too much gold, and what really aroused his interest is actually another thing.

Lucius asked in a veiled way in the letter whether Ivy had any means to enhance his ability in that area.

This is very understandable. After all, under the double pressure of work and his wife who has rejuvenated her second spring, Lucius has almost no energy to deal with other noble affairs. Even the usual gatherings with pure-blood families to keep in touch with each other would be held within the Department of International Magical Cooperation.

Lucius's writing was quite cautious, and no sensitive words appeared in it. However, based on the act of sending the letter by owl, Ivy believed that Voldemort had not found him yet, otherwise, with his caution, he would never use such an overly obvious means of communication.

After snapping his fingers and burning the letter, Ivy set off for Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire.

Although there were no major changes in the decoration of the courtyard, Ivy was able to find many ingenious changes, which proved that the Malfoy family had indeed gained a lot of influence in the political and business circles in the past year.

However, this kind of influence is just like a fire boiling oil, and flowers blooming. Once the big commotion at the Quidditch World Cup breaks out, I'm afraid someone will immediately want to add insult to injury.

Moreover, if Voldemort really found the Malfoy family as Ivy expected, it would be no less than falling from heaven to hell for Lucius.

Ivy didn't believe that Lucius had no imagination of that situation, but he was still able to maintain his loyalty to Ivy, which was indeed a rare thing in the eyes of the murderous Dark Lord.

"Lord Doom!" Lucius, holding the civilized staff, looked very energetic and came to meet him from a distance, not like a man who was double-pressed by his wife and work.

Ivy guessed that it was some kind of potion provided by Snape, perhaps a stimulant or something like that, because the dark circles on Lucius's face could not be faked.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Lucius." Ivy greeted with a smile and walked into the reception room with Lucius.

I didn't see Narcissa in the hallway. Usually, this well-educated lady would greet Ivy at the door, and after Ivy's rejuvenation, she was even more attentive.

Without waiting for Ivy to ask, Lucius revealed the whereabouts of his wife and son: "Narcissa and Draco went to watch the game. After all, the Malfoy family can be said to be the leader of this Quidditch World Cup, and proper socializing is essential."

"That's fine." Ivy nodded and sat down on the leather sofa with a relaxed look. "I still have some dangerous tasks to give you. I can first give you a guarantee that even if you die because of this mission, I will resurrect you."
