BXBX NOVEL Chapter 547: Nick LeMay's library
When passing by the window, Ivan couldn\'t help but stop. The scene outside the window looked very different from yesterday.
In the distance, there is no longer a wasteland but a towering tall buildings. From where he is now standing, he can still see pedestrians passing through the wide streets and cars that are speeding from time to time.
The weird thing is that everything is like a mirage, silent, only the sight can be seen...
"This is...Paris?" Ivan confirmed this from the text on the shop signs, and muttered to himself very surprised.
But this shouldn\'t be! Obviously yesterday, there was still a wasteland in the distance...
Ivan frowned, vaguely guessing that it might be some kind of magical effect, so he didn\'t bother to pull the curtain in, then turned and left.
After going downstairs to wash, Ivan came to the living room again, and Nick LeMay had already sat there early, sipping a cup of morning tea slowly.
"Good morning, teacher!" Ivan walked to the chair by the dining table and said hello.
"Well... Did you get used to sleeping last night?" Nick LeMay put down his teacup gently, and asked with a smile.
"Very used!" Ivan nodded and nodded. Although Nick Lemay was a wizard from centuries ago, this house is not outdated at all. Both the living room and the bed look modern, and he doesn\'t recognize it. The bed naturally sleeps peacefully.
But Ivan was very curious about what he saw outside the window, so he couldn\'t help but inquire.
"You can see the city because it is very close to the city of Paris..." Nick LeMay didn\'t mean to hide it, but explained it to Ivan.
In order to avoid unnecessary interruptions, he used magic to hide an area, forming an independent space, usually isolated from the inside and outside, and no outside scenes can be seen.
Only the person who has the coordinates has caused the magic wave to move in and out through the phantom shift, which will affect the protection and can see the outside world in a short time.
"Did any guests come just now?" Ivan asked.
Nick LeMay shook his head and explained that he went out to purchase some supplies.
This mansion can\'t be self-sufficient yet. He needs to go out every once in a while, and by the way, see what new things the Muggles have made.
Ivan then understands, and at the same time keenly aware that Nick LeMay seems to be very interested in Muggle creations. There is even a TV and a refrigerator in the living room.
"This morning, you can read some books in the library. The books on the third row of bookshelves should be of some help to you. If you have any questions, I will answer your questions in the afternoon..." Nick LeMay Arrange today\'s affairs for Ivan.
Before, he learned from Dumbledore that Ivan is a very self-disciplined child, so he did not strictly demand what Ivan must do when, but only gave some suggestions.
Ivan nodded in response, then turned to the refrigerator, TV, and microwave in the living room, and asked tentatively. "Teacher, I see a lot of Muggle stuff here, can they work properly?"
When I first entered the door, Ivan wanted to ask. It was a bit strange to find a bunch of Muggle products in the home of a several-hundred-year-old alchemist.
"I have made some enchantments and improvements to them so that they can operate normally even without electricity. If you are tired from reading, you can watch TV, but you must pay attention to control your time!" Nick LeMay mistakenly thought that Ivan was a childish mind and was curious. These Muggle products reminded with a smile.
Ivan curled his lips. He was not very interested in French dramas in the past nine years, but it was beyond his expectation that Nick Lemay could enchant such electrical appliances.
Although Ivan has long known that some Muggle technology can be transformed through alchemy and turned into magic items, such as Hagrid’s flying motorcycle and the magic car of the Weasley family are similar products.
But TV is different. He is curious how exactly Nick LeMay solved the signal reception problem?
And can make such a magic TV, then why is it not popular in the magic world?
For wizards who lack entertainment, they should not be able to resist this temptation!
"Teacher, since many Muggle electrical appliances are convenient for our lives, why not popularize it?" Ivan said the question in his heart, which is something he has never understood.
"It is not so easy to transform such an alchemy item! The ordinary wizard family simply can\'t afford it," Nick LeMay shook his head, gave an explanation, and then continued.
"In addition, the European magic world is generally conservative, and has a certain prejudice against these Muggle creations. It is believed that the introduction of a large number of Muggle equipment will impact the normal order of the magic world..."
Don’t look at the growing number of half-blood wizards and Muggle-born wizards nowadays~www.mtlnovel.com~ The magic world has gradually changed in subtle ways, and many wizards’ daily life and dressing habits are gradually moving closer to Muggles.
But there are still some people in the magical world who still follow the ancient etiquette and living habits, and are extremely repulsive of Muggle items, and even adopt a hostile attitude.
These people are mostly pure-blooded wizards, forming a huge conservative force. On the one hand, it stems from the discrimination of wizards against Muggles, and on the other hand, it is to prevent new ideas and new things from shaking their status.
After listening to Nick Lemay’s explanation, Ivan has some understanding of the current state of the magic world. Simply put, it is a collision between new ideas and old ideas, and this contradiction is likely to change over time. Getting bigger and bigger...
As for the management of Muggle items in the magical world, Ivan has also heard about it. For example, the United Kingdom established a special Muggle item prohibition department to prevent wizards from illegally modifying Muggle technology items.
It is worth mentioning that the leader of this department is Ron\'s father Arthur Weasley.
And for his own convenience, Arthur also specially left a loophole when writing a law prohibiting the abuse of Muggle items. In order to improve travel, wizards can use magic to transform Muggle transportation.
After breakfast, Nick LeMay took Ivan to the library on the first floor.
The space here is a bit smaller than the Blake’s underground library, but the books are placed closer together. A cursory sweep over, the overlapping bookshelves make Ivan a little dizzy...
There is also a high platform in front of the library. There are a lot of incomprehensible magic texts burned around. I don’t know what it is used for...
