Chapter 256 What’s going on?
“Albert is not only a genius in the field of language, but also in other fields.”
A voice came from the entrance of the hall. He was wearing a windbreaker and walking in was Gerber Smith, whom Albert had once met. "I have seen him publish papers in several journals. The areas involved would be embarrassing to most people who consider themselves geniuses.”
“Including you.” The old man in French asked, tilting his head.
“Including me.” Gerber Smith admitted straightforwardly.
Albert is speechless. He is not a person who likes to brag about himself. Although with the help of the panel, he can indeed pretend that he is a genius.
But Albert was a humble man and never liked to brag about himself, even though it sounded useful.
“Child, what are you best at?”
Some people present finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked Albert.
"What are you best at?" Albert was stunned for a moment, thought carefully and replied: "Currently, it should be ancient magic texts. I have spent a lot of time and experience on it."
This time, Albert spoke in ancient magic script.
The other wizards here automatically ignored 'and experience' because they really didn't understand what it meant, and with Albert's skillful tone, even wizards who are familiar with ancient magic texts may not be as good as Albert. fluent.
"It has something to do with alchemy. However, it's still more about language." The old man wearing a monocle and gloves introduced himself to Albert, "Metalsmith, Yelon Balder, the maker of the Golden Snitch."
“Hello, Mr. Yellon Balder.” Albert shook hands with the other party.
"If, I mean, if you are interested in being a metalsmith after graduation, you can consider becoming my apprentice. It is not easy to find a suitable apprentice now." Yellon Balder said to Albert with a smile, " It's a promising career and we've been providing new Golden Snitches for Quidditch."
"I heard that the Golden Snitch has never been touched by bare skin before being released, and he wears gloves when making it." Albert asked, "When there is a dispute in the game, it can identify the first one on its own. A person who touches it?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Anderson, it seems that you are not ignorant about making the Golden Snitch." Balder winked at Albert and said happily, "If you are interested, you can write to me letter."
“Balder, are you planning to poach someone?”
Suddenly, a voice finally couldn't help but interrupt the conversation between the two.
"This is the first time we have met, Mr. Anderson. I am Sierra Harris. We have exchanged letters several times before." Sierra Harrish stepped forward to shake Albert's hand. Looking at Yellon Balder with a smile, although they are all experts in alchemy, most of them are involved in different fields.
"Hello Mr. Serra Harrichs, nice to meet you in person." Albert stretched out his hand to shake hands with Serra Harrichs. At this moment, everyone understood that the relationship was prepared by themselves and was brought here to show off to everyone, and at the same time, it allowed Albert to show his face in the circle.
"We just had a more interesting conversation." Yellon Bald was not angry, and said to Harrys with a smile.
“Speaking of which, there are so few people here this year!” Sierra Harris changed the topic and sat down next to Albert. Next to him was Gerber Smith.
"Very few. But, it doesn't matter now." Professor Brod continued the topic.
“Who asked Gobalot to tease him about the recipe for the elixir last time?”
"He deceived us with a fake formula." Although Gobalot said this, he actually did not take it seriously. Although they were very interested in the magic stone, they had no real intention to pay attention to it. But Nico’s lifeblood, let’s not talk about whether he can get it or not, if he does it, there will be no need to mess around.
What's more, Nico Flamel has lived for several centuries and is also a very powerful wizard. His residence is protected by layers of protection, and finally there is the Fidelity Curse as a barrier. The secret keeper is their old friend Dumbledore.
Furthermore, to get the magic stone, you must also be able to prepare the elixir of life.
“Nico has been in some trouble recently and can’t come for the time being.” Professor Broad explained helplessly.
I'm curious as to who could cause him trouble. "Another French old man asked.
“Mysterious man!” Professor Broad said in a low voice.
“Isn’t the devil who cannot even be mentioned dead?”
Everyone here showed disgust towards Voldemort. During the last wizarding war, many acquaintances were innocently affected and died.
"Dumbledore said that the devil who must not even be named may still be alive." Professor Broad frowned deeply, "He must have his own basis, although this is not very pleasant news. "
The shadow of the Dark Lord also envelopes everyone here (except Albert), and no one wants to recall the unpleasant past.
"He's eyeing the Philosopher's Stone." Hariss frowned, "Want to use the Philosopher's Stone to make a comeback?"
This is not good news.
“He will not succeed.” Professor Broad comforted him. “As we all know, the devil who must not be named is afraid of Dumbledore...”
To be honest, Albert was surprised when he heard the news because he had guessed what was going on.
Isn’t this the plot of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone? Voldemort asked Quirrell to help him steal the Philosopher's Stone to stay alive.
However, Chilo's strength is really not that good.
There is no doubt that Nico is safe. Even the mysterious man cannot find out where Nico is hidden from Dumbledore!
They all know that Dumbledore is Nicolas Flamel's secret keeper.
Under the protection of the Loyalty Charm, no one can easily enter Nico's hiding place, even if he squeezes his nose at the window of Nico's house.
“I think Nico will be unhappy because he can’t go out to watch the opera like this!”
"I think Muggle opera performances are quite boring. Nico and I went to see them once a long time ago..." The man was about to complain a few more words, but was interrupted by Professor Brod's slight cough.
“Okay, let’s not talk about that. Since everyone is here, let’s get started!” Professor Broad asked with a smile, “Who comes first?”
At this moment, Albert was in a daze. What comes first? Why didn't anyone tell me what was going on?
