Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 551 Alchemy Legacy and Event Announcement
"Can't come?" Mrs. Maxim looked anxious when she heard the big fat young master say this. "What happened to Mr. Hornheim?"
In this competition, there are not many qualified judges, and Mr. Hohenheim is one of the few important candidates who can assume the role of chief judge.At that time, the winner of the gold medal for pioneering contributions at the last International Alchemy Conference was Mr. Alisandro von Hohenheim.
By the way, Dumbledore also appeared in one of the conferences during his student days, and won the international alchemy award with the title of "the youngest".
It is a pity that since Mr. Hohenheim's conference, this award has been buried in the pile because of the downturn in alchemy, and there has been no chance of being restarted.
In fact, if even the inheritance of alchemy is almost cut off, how can there be enough alchemists to support such high-quality alchemy exchange conferences?
If you think Mr. Hornheim is a master of alchemy with gold content, he will naturally be the best judge for the upcoming alchemy competition.
However, facing Mrs. Maxim's eager questioning, the fat young master standing at the entrance of the auditorium at the moment did not mean to be anxious.
"Hi! Actually it's nothing--" He shrugged his shoulders, and the waves of flesh on his chest and cheeks fluctuated. "To say that the old man was fine yesterday, he went to the toilet at night and broke his waist. ...I think he can't go anywhere these days, he is lying at home!"
This reason is very good, quite unpretentious!Mrs. Maxim and President Akinbad looked at each other, their eyes looked a little erratic, and maybe they could not help rolling their eyes in the next moment!
"Uh... Is it just a waist injury? Oh, no... I mean, is your father okay?" Mrs. Maxim corrected her words and greeted her for the time being, but she was most concerned about It's still whether Mr. Hornheim can be a judge at all.
"Well... the old man is really fine!" The fat young master repeatedly said, "It's just a minor injury. He has taken the medicine, and it will be better in about two or three days."
After only two or three days, Mrs. Maxim finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When it comes to the holding of a competition, the most important thing is the manpower-one of course is the contestants, and the other is the selection of the judges. As for the staff, there must be as many as you need.
Mr. Hohenheim, as one of the most important alchemy masters today, said that he is irreplaceable. After all, it would be difficult to find a second judge with his level in a short time.
If there is a problem because the judges are not enough to convince the crowd, then the representatives of the various forces sitting in this auditorium may have an excuse to rise up.These wolf pups are all predators who smell the orangutans, but they can't let them seize such a big predator opportunity.
"Since Mr. Hornheim is okay, that would be great!" Mrs. Maxim regained her usual grace again. She smiled and said, "Come on, since you are visiting on behalf of your father, please take a seat quickly. Right!"
The various foods on the table have not been removed yet, the fat young master has long been greedy.As soon as he heard that Mrs. Maxim said that he could find a seat, he immediately burst into appetite, glanced casually, and walked to the seat closest to the door.
"Hey! Buddy, come... Move a little aside and let me rest." The fat young master’s fat face was full of smiles, which looked a little wretched and funny. They were all stuck on the chairs in the carriage. Just now I almost broke my waist just to pull it out! I have to make up for it..."
While he was talking, he squeezed into an empty chair, and the extraordinarily broad body squeezed the guy next to him with the chair to one side.
To say that he was a coincidence, the two hapless guys who were forced to squeeze by him were the two of the Ty Fowler family who were staring at Maca before.
Maca saw it from a distance, and Master Tai Fowler was immediately full of anger, but after hesitating for a while, he simply moved a little aside.Naturally, this is obviously not the time to make trouble.
After the fat young master of the Hornheim family finally took a seat, Mrs. Maxim began to be polite with everyone again.What she said next is not the point, mostly insignificant scenes.
But even so, all the guests moved their eyes to her.After all, this Mrs. Maxim is the headmaster of Boothbarton, and this is also her place. Respect for the host's speech here is a social etiquette that people with status and status must observe.
Such rules on the facade are always boring, but they are also essential.
It's just that the attention of these people could not continue to concentrate.It didn't take long for a loud noise to sound suddenly—the fat young master from the Hohenheim family began to eat!
Maca's seat is relatively forward, in terms of location, he is still far from the other side of the auditorium.But he was one of the very few wizards in this hall who could look at the fat young master with a smile on his face.
This big fat man started to eat something, it was a forceful gesture.
Not to say how rude he is.In fact, his dinner knives and forks were held in his hands very well, and his every move was not vulgar. He cut the steak without making any movement.
So where is the problem?
It turned out that he was to blame for his unusually thick fat. Those fats made him have to raise his elbows when putting food into his mouth.But he was very concerned about his eating actions. In order to comply with the dining etiquette, he tried his best not to raise his elbows so high that he had to suck food in with his mouth every time he ate.
Listening to the sound of sucking again and again, people don't understand whether he cares about etiquette or habit.
Maca found that since the appearance of this strange big fat man, the original tense atmosphere in the auditorium has been completely destroyed by him.
Speaking of which, Mr. Hohenheim of the Alchemy Research Center also knew that he was an alchemy scholar who focused on research and innovation.But who knows, such a respected alchemy master actually gave birth to such a funny big fat son-judging from the age of the father and son, when the master intoxicated in academics gave birth to this son, It should be forty or fifty years old.
Is this because you are too spoiled because you are too old?At least Maca doesn't look alike.
But in the final analysis, this fat young master not only sat down and started eating, but also moved quite a bit. It was indeed a little out of style.But no one here will really care about him. After all, there are more important things than blaming him!
look!Mrs. Maxim in front of the auditorium was completely unaffected. Although she also glanced at the big fat man subconsciously, the unnutritious words in her mouth did not appear even once.After the vast majority of people finally stopped paying attention to the fat man, she then talked about something more meaningful to everyone.
"...I think everyone understands that if Mr. Nicole Le May's estate is officially made public, how much impact will it have on the entire magical world! But in fact, Mr. Le May is not unconditionally open— "
Seeing that Mrs. Maxim had finally put the topic to the point, all the guests were even more concerned.Soon, their eyes were focused on Mrs. Maxim's body.
"The legacy left by Mr. LeMay before his death was his private alchemy laboratory. As for the location of that laboratory, only Mr. Edward LeMay knows for the time being."
Having said that, Mrs. Maxim nodded to the old butler of the LeMay house.
"Yes, I think everyone can guess as much as possible," she said. "The first problem we will face is how to open Mr. Nicol Lemay's laboratory. I have heard that before, it is not a An easy thing requires us to have a sufficient understanding of alchemy'itself'."
In fact, many magical relics from ancient times have been unearthed in the history of the magical world, and most of them are still being continuously studied and explored.Most of these ruins have two things in common. They are easy to find and difficult to enter. In some places, even Muggles who don't understand magic can easily find them.
The same is true of the alchemy laboratory of Nicol Lemay.
"Mr. Edward Lemay said that it was one of the subjects that Mr. Nicole Lemay set up in order to find a way to interpret his legacy. If there is no wizard in this world who can really understand'what is alchemy' If that is the case, then the legacy he left behind will not matter if it is public."
At this point, the old butler Edward also stood up.
"My master once said that it was Mr. Albus Dumbledore, the principal of Hogwarts, who gave him hope and let him know that there may be many knowledgeable wizards in the magic world today. . That’s why he left these inheritances instead of passing away with his wife without a word."
He said, thought about it, and then solemnly said: "So I think that although the master often said that in the 665 years of his life, he has seen the decline of talents, but he still has expectations for the current magic world. He must always believe that our magic will gradually flourish again, and will reach the next peak with the efforts of generations of young wizards."
The words of the old steward were so sincere that even if the representatives of these forces were impure, they couldn't help but feel a little bit emotional.
The gradual decline of the magic world is obvious to all. Although it seems to have improved in recent years, it is still no longer brilliant.Whether it is a family force or an individual, in fact, it is hoped that the entire magical world can have more and better progress and development.
At this moment, Mrs. Maxim said loudly:
"Therefore, Mr. Akinbad and Butler Edward decided that we will hold a world-class alchemy competition, so that more alchemy talents will come to the public again and show us a more colorful alchemy world! "
