Jon had never thought that he would one day become an important assistant in an experiment.
In the past, when it came to the division of research work between Jon and Helga, it was even more polarized than when a professor led a graduate student. Jon was responsible for coming up with ideas and ideas, while Helga was responsible for the rest.
Therefore, in terms of overall research, Chown's real experience was only in the research experiments led by himself.
He had never forgotten his goal. Whether it was to become a powerful Wizard, improve his strength, or play tricks, everything he did was to pave the way for that ultimate goal.
"Find the true essence of the magic world?"
Perrenal didn't know if he should laugh or encourage Jon's courage. "That's what the great wizards have been trying to do for countless years. We've lived for six hundred years, and we've seen at least twenty legendary wizards make such a goal. But in their limited lives, no one has ever succeeded. Besides, the current magical environment is not suitable for you to do such research. Do you think you can find a legendary wizard to help you organize all this?" Jon nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or encourage Perrenal.
"The problem of the magic environment … I've noticed it before, but I think there's still a lot of time for me."
The main topic of their conversation was not the same. Perrenal probably thought that Jon was talking about an elder, but he didn't think that there was someone like Helga.
However, magic research was a problem that every researcher had to explore on their own in their magic life. Basically, there was no problem that could be solved with the help of others.
Chown had never thought of borrowing others' glory. He knew this from the start, so he had been quietly learning a lot of related content from Helga instead of learning according to the school's teaching system.
Of course, the school's learning system had its advantages. For ordinary students who were not very talented (in fact, in this environment, most of them were little Wizard), the system had to slow down their learning progress in order to teach more efficiently. For the school, this was a very stable thing.
Moreover, the school didn't control the students who were relatively talented to expand their learning. As long as they wanted to, they could learn in advance.
Besides, learning new spells or studying a new spell in advance didn't make much of a difference to the more talented students.
Therefore, the school would definitely choose such an education method. Although it was very different from the "elite wartime education" that Jon received, it could save the most trouble and ensure that even the worst students would be able to receive the most professional guidance before they reached the graduation stage.
Both Helga and Perrenal had the same attitude towards this, which was that they didn't care.
These wizards, who had experienced the war many years ago, preferred the old traditions.
"Otherwise, why would a teacher lead a few students hundreds of years ago?
In fact, this tradition was still maintained in some places. How could the adepts who had undergone in-depth research and tailor-made learning methods be the same as the adepts who had been trained as part of an assembly line from the very beginning?
The former method can nurture a Great Magus or Great Scholar step by step. As for the latter method, no matter how hard the professor tries, there will be times when he can't take care of everything. In the end, the only thing he'll get is a group of mediocre and ordinary Magi. At most, he'll just be a replaceable existence in the Magus World. "
There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Jon felt that Perrenal's words had another meaning. It was just that he didn't understand it.
This was because Perrenal was usually very gentle when talking to him. He would never be like this, full of hidden threats and accusations.
Maybe it was because he had a dispute with someone over this before?
But there was no other way to deal with this. He couldn't just casually criticize other people's matters, so Jon just calmly ate his cake and waited for Perrenal to adjust her mood back to the serious channel.
Fortunately, Perrenal wasn't a long-winded old lady. She was very wise and understood the importance of things.
"Alright, alright, let's talk about serious matters. Old people like to reminisce about the past. I let you listen to the old lady's complaints for half a day."
Jon smiled. "It's fine. I still like to listen to these stories. They're very interesting."
"Is that so? That's good. I'll tell you more about the past when we have time. Now, let's talk about serious matters. "
The witch took a sip of tea and moistened her throat. "Actually, Nicole and I aren't here just to avoid Voldemort's harassment. Oh, you should know about the Philosopher's Stone, right?"
Jon nodded. "Of course I know … a little. Principal Dumbledore told me a little. I also heard from the elders in my family about the inside story of the Gringotts theft."
"There's no inside story. It's just a setup."
Perrenal didn't avoid the topic at all. It was as simple and natural as a neighbor's dog that had eaten something bad. "The Philosopher's Stone has long lost its ability to create the Elixir of Immortality. It's now just a storage tool that can store a certain amount of magic. The Immortality Substance has already been refined into a magic potion."
"Alchemy is also limited by the environment. Back in the day, we created twelve Philosopher's Stones, each of which contained an undying substance that could ensure Nicole and I would live for about fifty years. However, the power of the magic potion is limited, and its effects have been weakening over the years. The magic potion that could originally extend our lifespans by six hundred years has now only extended our lifespans by five hundred years."
"And the original intention of creating the Elixir of Immortality, besides being afraid of death, was also Nicole's wish."
Jon nodded at Perrenal, his ears perked up. He knew that the main event was about to begin.
"The two of us created so many clocks, but this is only a part of it. We've already discarded many of them. "
Jon nodded. After all, clocks didn't exist many years ago. "Is it some kind of alchemy item related to time?"
After talking with the fat monk, he knew that Lemour and her husband were working on something related to time. He just didn't ask.
Pérenard nodded in appreciation of Jon's cleverness and said,
"Yes, a time converter."
