"Can't come?" Hearing the big fat young master say this, Madame Maxim looked a little anxious, "What's wrong with Mr. Hohenheim?" ”

In this competition, there are not many qualified judges, and Mr. Nahohenheim is one of the few important candidates who can take on the role of chief judge. In that year, the winner of the Gold Medal for Pioneering Contribution at the last International Alchemy Congress was Mr. Alessandro von Hohenheim.

Incidentally, Dumbledore also appeared at one of the conventions when he was a student, and won the International Award for Alchemy as the "youngest".

It's a pity that since Mr. Hohenheim's conference, this award has been buried in the old paper pile due to the downturn in alchemy, and it has not been restarted.

Speaking of which, if even the inheritance of alchemy is almost severed, where will there be enough alchemists to support such high-quality alchemy exchange conferences?

Thinking that Mr. Hohenheim is such a gold-rich alchemy master, he is naturally the best judge for the upcoming alchemy competition.

However, in the face of Madame Maxim's eager questioning, the fat young master standing at the door of the auditorium at this moment did not mean to be in a hurry.

"Hey! Actually, it's nothing—" he shrugged his shoulders, and the waves of flesh on his chest and cheeks fluctuated, "If the old man was fine yesterday, he got up at night and went to the toilet at night, and as a result, he broke his waist...... I don't think he's going anywhere these days, he's lying at home! ”

That's a good reason, quite unpretentious! Madame Maxime and President Akinbad glanced at each other, their eyes looking a little erratic, and they couldn't help but roll their eyes the next moment!

"Uh...... Is it just a little bit of a waist injury? Oh no...... I mean, is your father okay? Madame Maxim corrected her words, and said that she had greeted her, but she was most concerned about whether Mr. Hohenheim would be able to serve as a judge by then.

"Hmm...... Old man, he's really fine! The fat young master said again and again, "It's just a small injury, he has already taken medicine, and it will be better in about two or three days." ”

After only two or three days of hearing this, Madame Maxim finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If you want to hold a competition, the most important thing is the manpower - one is of course the contestants, the second is the selection of judges, as for the staff, there must be as many as there are.

Mr. Hornheim, as one of the most important alchemists today, is no problem to say that he is irreplaceable, after all, it is difficult to find a second judge of his level in a short time.

At that time, if there is a problem because the judges are not enough to convince the public, then the representatives of all the forces who are sitting in this auditorium at the moment may have an excuse to make a group attack. These wolf cubs are predators who smell ape, and they can't be allowed to seize such a big predatory opportunity.

"Since Mr. Hohenheim is fine, it couldn't be better!" Madame Maxim regained her usual grace, and she smiled and said, "Come, since you are here on behalf of your father, please take a seat quickly!" ”

At this time, the various foods on the table have not been removed, and the fat young master has long been greedy. As soon as he heard Madame Maxim say that he could find a seat to sit down, he immediately became hungry, and with a casual glance, he walked to the nearest seat to the door.

"Hey! Come on, buddy...... Move a little to the side so that I can rest my feet. The fat young master's fat face was full of smiles, looking a little obscene and a little funny, "Young master, my butt was stuck in the chair in the carriage all the way, and I almost broke my waist just now in order to pull it out!" I'm going to have to make up for it......"

As he spoke, he squeezed into an empty chair, and his extraordinarily wide body squeezed aside a guy next to him with a chair.

If you want to say that he picked this son by coincidence, the two unlucky eggs who were squeezed away by him were the two Tefler family who stared at Maca before.

From a distance, Maca saw that this young master Tefleur was suddenly full of anger, but after hesitating for a moment, he simply moved away from the side a little more. Naturally, it's clearly not the time to make a fuss.

After the fat young master of the Hornheim family finally sat down, Madame Maxim began to be polite to everyone again. What she said next was not the point, most of them were inconsequential scenes.

But even so, all the guests moved their eyes to her. In any case, this Madame Maxim is the headmaster of Beauxbatons, and this is also her territory, and respecting the speech of the master here is the social etiquette that must be observed by people of status and status.

Façade rules like this are always boring, but they are also essential.

It's just that the attention of these people can't continue to focus. It wasn't long before there was a small commotion - the fat young master of the Hohenheim family began to eat!

Maca's seat was relatively far from the front, and in terms of position, he was far away from the auditorium. But he was one of the very few wizards in this auditorium who could look at the fat young master with a smile on his face.

This big fat man eats, and it is called an imposing one.

It's not that he's rough. In fact, his knives and forks are very disciplined in his hands, and his every move is not unbearable, and he doesn't make any movement when he cuts the steak.

So what's the problem?

It turned out that he was to blame for his surprisingly thick body, which made him have to raise his elbows when he put food in his mouth. But he was very concerned about his eating movements, and in order to conform to the dining etiquette, he tried not to raise his elbows too high, so that he had to suck the food in through his mouth every time he ate.

Listening to the sound of snorting again and again, people couldn't understand whether he cared about etiquette or habit.

Maca found that since the appearance of this strange big fat man, the originally tense atmosphere in the auditorium had been completely destroyed by him.

Speaking of which, he also knew Mr. Hohenheim of the Alchemy Research Center, an alchemist who focused on research and innovation. But who knew that such a respected alchemy master would give birth to such a funny fat son - judging from the age of the father and son, the son of the master teacher who was intoxicated with academics should have been forty or fifty years old when he was born.

Is this because he is too spoiled because he is old and has a son? At least Maca doesn't look like it.

But in the final analysis, this fat young master not only sat down to eat, but also moved a lot, which is indeed a bit unorthodox. But no one here really cares about him, after all, there are more important things than blaming him!

And lo and behold! Madame Maxim in front of the auditorium was completely unaffected, although she also subconsciously glanced at the big fat pier, but the unnutritious words in her mouth did not appear even a single stumble. After most people finally stopped paying attention to the big fat man, she talked about something more meaningful to everyone.

“…… I think you all know how much impact Mr. Nicol Lemay's legacy will have on the wizarding world as a whole if it were to be made public! But in fact, Mr. Lemay is not unconditionally public—"

Seeing that Madame Maxim had finally put the topic to the point, the guests suddenly became more concerned. Soon, their eyes were focused on Madame Maxim.

"The legacy that Monsieur Lemay left before his death was one of his private alchemy laboratories. As to where the laboratory is, only Mr. Edward Lemay knows for the time being. ”

Speaking of this, Madame Maxim nodded again to the old butler of the Lemay family on the side.

"Yes, I think you can guess it somewhat," she said, "and the first problem we will face is how to open Mr. Nicol Lemay's laboratory." I've heard before that it's not an easy thing to do, and it requires us to have a good understanding of alchemy 'itself'. ”

In fact, many magical relics from ancient times have been unearthed in the history of the wizarding world, and most of them are still being studied and explored. Most of these ruins have two things in common, that is, they are easy to find and difficult to enter, and in some places even Muggles who don't know magic can easily find them.

The same is true of Nicol Lemay's alchemy laboratory.

"Mr. Edward Lemay said that it was one of the tasks that Mr. Nicol Lemay set in order to find a way to interpret his legacy, and if there were no wizards in the world who could truly understand 'what alchemy is', then his legacy would not be open or private."

At this point, Edward, the old butler, also stood up.

"My master once said that it was the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Mr. Albus Dumbledore, who had given him hope that there might be many more learned wizards in the wizarding world today. That's why he left these legacies, instead of dying with his wife without saying a word. ”

He said, thought about it again, and then said solemnly: "So I think that although the Lord often says that he has seen the withering of talents in the 665 years of his life, he still has expectations for the wizarding world today. He must have always believed that our magic would flourish again, as generations of young wizards worked to reach the next level. ”

The old butler's words were so sincere that even if the representatives of these forces were not pure-minded, they couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The gradual decline of the wizarding world is obvious to all, and although it seems to have improved in recent years, it is still no longer glorious. Whether it is a family force or an individual, in fact, they all hope that the entire wizarding world can have more and better progress and development.

It was at this moment that Madame Maxim said loudly:

"Therefore, Mr. Akinbad and Steward Edward have decided that we will hold a world-class alchemy competition, so that more alchemist talents can come back to the public and show us a more colorful alchemy world!"
