Alvin raised his eyebrows when he saw Nico's expression.
He discovered these famous old men in the magic world have horrible taste.
It was the same with Dumbledore, Nicolas Flamel, and those old men of the Order of Merlin he knew.
"By the way, Kevin and others, where are they?"
Alvin asked about the news of his Minions. Before he left last time, he left Kevin, Stuart, and Bob with Nico as an assistant.
After all, the old man is old, and with the help of the little yellow, he can save a lot of worries when doing experiments.
"You talk about them." Speaking of Minions, a deep smile appeared on the face of the old man, "They blew up my laboratory yesterday, and they are cleaning up now."
Alvin was stunned for a moment and then covered in black lines.
He initially thought the Minions could help Nico, but he didn't expect them to blow up Nico's laboratory. Immediately, his face was a little unsettled.
"Or I'll take them away and prepare a few assistants for you again."
Alvin shuddered at the thought of the masters pitted by the Minions in his previous life and quickly said to Nico.
But Nico shook his head repeatedly, "No, they're fine. I'm good friends with them now. You can't take them away!"
After a year of getting along, Nico and the little yellow have long become good friends. Seeing them laughing and joking daily, Nico also feels that life is much more enjoyable.
If Alvin took the Minions away, he would be a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that Nico was so determined, Alvin had no choice but to give up and stop talking about this topic. The two chatted about some alchemy issues.
In more than a year, Alvin has also made a lot of progress in alchemy, but some questions still need the help of a master like Nico.
Alvin also took out some of the props he had made over the year and asked Nico to give him some advice.
"What is this?"
Nico picked up a vest and looked at Alvin curiously.
This alchemy item is straightforward and belongs to the entry-level difficulty. Nico can see its effect at a glance, but he is very curious about what Alvin does with this thing.
Alvin was a little embarrassed. He accidentally took out the Backbone and Sleepy Glasses Fred and George. He always took them with him, which was revealed to Nico today.
Alvin was embarrassed to explain the purpose of these two things to Nico, and Nico was overjoyed after listening to it.
"I didn't expect such an attractive little guy at Hogwarts, don't worry, I won't tell Albus."
After finishing speaking, he also wrote a letter to Fred and George, giving his own suggestions.
After this episode, Nico took a look at Alvin's work.
He raved about one of the books, a searchable catalog inspired by Alvin's at Slytherin library.
"You should have told me about this earlier because when you are old, your memory is not good, and sometimes it takes a long time for me to search for something."
Alvin said with a smile: "It's not too late. I'll give you the refining process and the magic weave used."
"Do I still have to pay you some royalties?" Nico quipped Alvin, saying he made much money with the improved Doubling Charm.
Alvin shook his head with a wry smile, Nico now likes to make fun of him more and more, and Alvin is helpless too.
After reading all of Alvin's achievements, Nico also sighed. "Your level is no worse than mine now, but there are still some deficiencies in experience but don't worry. It will always get better."
Alvin also understands this truth. Practice makes perfect. Still, his improvement of alchemy is not the most crucial task. Strength is what he values most.
However, Alvin's most important purpose has not been achieved today, and he will no longer chat with Nico about alchemy.
"Do you know how to turn a muggle into a wizard?"
Hearing this question, Nico was a little surprised, and then he gave Alvin a deep look. Then he said with a sigh.
"It's a taboo subject."
"Taboo?" Alvin was a little puzzled, waiting for Nico's following words.
"Do you know Herpo?
Alvin nodded, "The dark wizard who invented the Horcrux also studied the basilisk and countless other evil deeds."
Seeing that Alvin knew, Nico continued, "Yes, he did countless evil experiments, including how to turn a Muggle into a wizard, and he finally succeeded."
"Success?" Alvin became more and more curious when he heard this. Since it was successful, why was there no record, and was it also listed as taboo?
Even information about the Horcrux, Alvin can find some clues in the Hogwarts library. Still, there is no record of how to turn Muggles into wizards.
Nico controlled the teacup to float to his mouth with magic power, took a sip, and said Herpo's method.
"He used a cruel secret technique to draw out all the blood of a Muggle and a wizard and then exchanged them for each other. From then on, the wizard lost the ability to cast spells, and the Muggle had magical powers, although not Very powerful. Herpo has succeeded."
After listening to Nico's description, Alvin's hair stood up all over his body. He completely pumped out the blood and then sent it to others.
But Alvin still has a doubt. Although this process is cruel, it is not more taboo than the production of Horcrux.
When Nico heard Alvin's doubts, he also answered.
"Although this ritual is evil, compared to the Horcrux, it is pretty good. When making the Horcrux, you need to kill people and use that solid resentment to keep the deceased's soul forcibly. Inside the Horcrux."
"Although this blood exchange ceremony is painful, people can still survive after all. This method is listed as taboo because he has touched the bottom line of the wizard."
