The Admiral of Hogwarts

In the following period, Hugo and the ship girls settled down in this residence located in Tokyo. The truth was just as Nicolas Flamel had told Hugo before, he really just wanted to fulfill his last wish before he died.

In the beginning, Hugo was a little worried that his and Enterprise's disappearance from the competition would cause some unnecessary speculation, but after Nicolas Flamel assured him that it would not cause any adverse effects, he was relieved and settled down with the ship girls.

Actually, when Hugo first learned that Nicolas Flamel wanted to study the ship girls, he planned to leave directly, because he would not allow his ship girls to be treated as research objects by others.

It was not until he learned that Nicolas Flamel's research was just chatting with each ship girl that he agreed to the great alchemist's approach at the request of the ship girls.

As a legendary alchemist, Nicolas Flamel tested Hugo as soon as he settled down. Because he felt that if he wanted to teach Hugo something, he had to know what Hugo's basic level was.

Faced with such questions, Hugo naturally went all out. Fortunately, he had previously fully mastered ancient runes from Odin, plus the knowledge of Unyielding and Salem, so he could answer the questions when faced with them.

Hugo himself cherished this opportunity very much, because his alchemy knowledge mainly came from several ship girls, the contents of the Witchcraft Party's treasure and textbooks before, and he had not fully communicated with alchemists from the outside world, so he was not very clear about his specific level.

After all, alchemy in this world can be regarded as a high-end theory, so it is also very difficult to find wizards who master this skill.

For example, the ship girls have been fully active in Europe for nearly two years, but the number of alchemists they have seen does not exceed the fingers on two hands.

As the questions gradually deepened, Nicolas Flamel gradually became serious. Because he found that Hugo's theoretical knowledge of alchemy far exceeded the level of elites of his age, and even surpassed many alchemists who had studied it for a lifetime.

Especially in ancient rune alchemy, Nicolas Flamel felt that he was not as knowledgeable as this young man who would only be in the third grade next year in many places.

"It seems that geniuses really exist in the world." After Hugo perfectly elaborated his views on the relationship between soul and magic, Nicolas Flamel sincerely sighed. And this also made him change some of his previous plans.

Because through this series of questions and answers, Nicolas Flamel found that Hugo's theoretical mastery was exceptionally solid and complete, and he had even chosen his own path, a situation he had only seen in those alchemy masters in their fifties and sixties before.

But correspondingly, it may be due to his young age, so Hugo's practical level is very average, even only slightly stronger than some alchemy apprentices.

"How about this, you can live here for the next month, the library can be fully opened to you, and you can come and ask me if you don't understand anything." After finishing the test, Nicolas Flamel said.

"Actually, I originally wanted you to be my disciple. But now you already have your own path in alchemy. So if you pursue my path, it will only limit your future height."

Nicolas Flamel's current alchemy level has reached the level of near-perfection, so even if he is not clear that the ship girls have their own unique alchemy style, he can still feel through the previous questions and answers that Hugo has mastered an alchemy system that belongs to him.

Compared with Nicolas Flamel's own alchemy system, the alchemy system that Hugo has mastered has obvious differences. But it is also a path that can lead to the ultimate in alchemy.

Therefore, for Nicolas Flamel, at this time, he cannot instill his knowledge into Hugo like a teacher teaching a student, but should do his best to answer his questions and help him walk more steadily on his own path.

"Actually, you now have a very powerful path of alchemy." Looking at Hugo's somewhat confused expression, Nicolas Flamel directly pointed out this point to him.

"Although you yourself may not be aware of these, but from my point of view, the whole set of alchemy system with ancient runes as the core that you have mastered is not inferior to the alchemy system that I have now mastered."

"Is it that powerful?" Hugo muttered softly, while scratching his hair. Because he had never compared it before, he did not have a clear understanding of that whole set of rune knowledge.

"Yes, very powerful." Nicolas Flamel thought for a few seconds, and then said. "I think you should know that if a person can fully master the power of magic, then they can achieve whatever they want."

"Alchemy is actually the same as magic in this regard. They are both special means invented by people to try to master this powerful force. It can be said that they lead to the same goal by different routes."

"For example, the Philosopher's Stone I made before fully embodies this point. It can release powerful power, and it can also change the rules of the world on a small scale, such as creating gold, and also allowing people to have a long life."

"And your current set of ancient rune alchemy also has the power to change the rules. As far as I know, the Time-Turner spell invented by British wizards actually uses the power of ancient runes."

"That's incredible." After hearing Nicolas Flamel say this, Hugo showed a surprised expression.

He knew the existence of the Time-Turner, and also knew that the core of the Time-Turner was the Hour-Reversal Charm. But he never knew that this was related to ancient runes.

"Yes, ancient runes are inherently more powerful than modern powers in terms of power, and even make people involuntarily think of gods." Nicolas Flamel said seriously.

"If this kind of magic did not have such high requirements for the user that it is difficult to inherit, then most of the magic would not even exist now."

"What makes me happy is that I have seen the revival of this ancient magic technique in you — —"

The two people discussed very late that day, and through this discussion, Hugo also mastered a lot of knowledge that he had never mastered before, and also had a more complete understanding of these skills.

Starting from the next morning, Hugo began to study various knowledge in the library of this residence with the accompaniment of some ship girls, while the other ship girls chatted with Nicolas Flamel in the garden.

"Nicolas Flamel should be conducting a Turing test on everyone." That evening, Massachusetts, who had been watching all this on the admiral's network, made a deduction.

And this deduction also illustrates one thing, that is, in many things, magic and science can be said to lead to the same goal by different routes.

In the next few weeks, Hugo devoted himself to studying knowledge related to alchemy.

During this period of study, Hugo did not learn much new knowledge from Nicolas Flamel, but under his guidance, he integrated the knowledge he had mastered and gradually formed his own alchemy knowledge system.
