For now, in an audience that was still mostly ordinary wizards, the old butler Edward was just a stranger to them.

Therefore, when Edward Sr. appeared with Professor McGonagall and Madame Maxime, the two principals of the school of magic and magic, many people couldn't help but be secretly curious.

Now that the competition is over, at least the champion has been decided, and then it should be the stage of awards.

Therefore, everyone is curious about what kind of identity this old gentleman who appeared at such a critical moment.

However, old Edward had just emerged from the entrance passage, and suddenly stopped.

Professor McGonagall and Madame Maxim immediately looked back at this, and Mr. Hohenheim, who was in the middle of the jury, hurried over with some confusion.

"Mr. Lemay, you ......have arrived," he greeted politely, and then said in confusion, "what are you looking at?" ”

As Nicol Lemay's butler, and the only intermediary in the outside world's attempts to gain access to the alchemical legacy, Edward Sr. had to be polite, at least on the surface.

Generally speaking, the old butler will not ignore others because of this, he has always regarded himself as the housekeeper of the Lemay family, and has his own strict standards for others.

But now, as if he hadn't heard Hohenheim's words, he was still looking in a certain direction in the arena from a distance.

Hohenheim was stunned, and then looked along the spot where old Edward had been looking.

Soon, he realized that the old butler was looking at the tuxedo alchemist...... Or more accurately, the alchemy array in front of the alchemist.

“…… Mr? ”

Hohenheim vaguely remembered that Maca had mentioned to him at the dinner table that old Edward himself didn't know much about alchemy.

In this case, the unfinished refining array should be tantamount to a heavenly book that he may not even understand.

"Huh?"

After Hohenheim called again, old Edward came to his senses.

"Oh, Mr. Hohenheim, I'm sorry—" the old butler smiled, "and just now I suddenly remembered some of the past, and I was distracted by not noticing...... Ah, by the way, that gentleman in a tuxedo, what's his name? ”

"That one......

Thinking that he had been dragged on by that guy for so long just now, and that it was all wasted in the end, Hohenheim was inevitably a little depressed.

"His name is Mark Newton, and as you can see, he was one of the finalists," he casually introduced, and then thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Lemay, is that someone you know?" ”

"Oh, uh-huh......"

The old butler apparently hesitated, and after another glance over there, he finally hesitated and shook his head.

"No, I don't think so...... Maybe it's just a small coincidence. ”

With that, he put aside his thoughts for the time being, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and invite Hohenheim to walk to the high platform in the middle of the arena with him. McGonagall and Maxime, who were waiting on the side, followed suit.

Maybe old Edward's small actions didn't matter at all, and Hohenheim's back and forth didn't take much time. But in the eyes of some well-intentioned people, this series of behaviors will inevitably make them suspicious.

For example, the winner of this game has been decided - the old witch of Africa.

As Edward and Hohenheim walked side by side through the arena and slowly ascended to the central round, the old witch's hand holding the skull staff tightened slightly.

And with her little movement, the alchemy monster that was originally sitting beside her, the dragon wings behind it seemed to tremble imperceptibly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the current Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Minerva McGonagall."

It was Professor McGonagall who spoke first, and her speech must have been given to her by Maca.

"The first International Alchemy Competition has come to an end, and after the continuous efforts of a large number of enthusiastic participants, it is finally coming to an end."

"I believe that in the process of watching the event, in addition to being full of expectations for the results of the event, you must also be curious about the extraordinarily secret game rewards."

As the host of the event venue and the new Headmaster of Hogwarts, McGonagall needs to continue to add weight to herself in public such a ......

So in the first place, Maca had planned to have Professor McGonagall introduce Edward Sr.

This speech will not only allow Professor McGonagall to increase her popularity more quickly, but also make other forces understand that the old butler who holds the alchemy inheritance has a relatively close friendly relationship with her.

In this way, it will have a very beneficial impact on all aspects of her social activities in the future.

But at first, Professor McGonagall disagreed.

She believes that many things are won by Maca for Hogwarts, and even old Edward affirmed many arrangements without saying a word because of Maca's relationship.

Now, such an important opportunity to show her face should be a benefit that Maca deserves.

Before, Maca was a little reluctant to her, so the original plan had to be canceled, and today according to the plan, it should still be Maka's appearance.

But now, Maca suddenly can't come back, so Professor McGonagall has to accept this great "gift" from the former student.

"So, please allow me to introduce you to a special guest - he is the butler of the late world-class alchemist Nicol Lemay, Mr. Edward Lemay!"

As she said this, she stretched out her hand and gestured politely to the side, and the old butler immediately took a step forward in cooperation and leaned over slightly.

"As the only great alchemist to have produced the Philosopher's Stone for hundreds of years, Mister Nicol Lemay and his wife lived on the elixir for more than 600 years, and contributed a lot of gold to the wizarding world and even the Muggle world...... His achievements in alchemy are astonishing! ”

"And one day about five years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Lemay have understood the mystery of life and decided to go to the arms of death together with the glory of a lifetime......

The topic of life and death has always been quite heavy, and it is difficult for Professor McGonagall to distinguish between them. So, here she just passed by and quickly jumped to the most important content of the day.

"However, although Nicol Lemay is deceased, he still has a memory of us who still live in this world, and the whole world full of memories—"

"So he left a last wish, a great gift to all of us!"

As she spoke, Professor McGonagall nodded to old Edward again.

"Today, in the coming time, Mr. Lemay will take this occasion to officially disclose Mr. Nicol Lemay's last wish to the global wizarding community!"

At the mention of Nicol Lemay, more people knew about it, and soon the audience was buzzing and whispering.

“…… The prizes for our first International Alchemy Competition will also be announced later. Professor McGonagall said, "Then it will be up to Mr. Edward Lemay to present to you the last words of Mr. Nicol Mailer!" ”

At this point, Professor McGonagall stepped back a position and handed over the rest of the speaking time to Edward Sr.

After that, the old butler completely disclosed his master's last wish to the wizards from all over the country in accordance with Maca's preparations in advance.

And with his words, the mainstream media in the magical world of various countries also kept recounting, and many reporters wrote this explosive news on the spot, obviously with the intention of sending it back as soon as possible and immediately appearing in their own magical newspapers and magazines.

Immortality is tempting, and so is gold, both for Muggles and wizards.

Of course, not all the people are ignorant, and many of them have a clearer view - for such a global good, there is still a need to wait for the implementation of the common people!

Therefore, many people just take the opportunity to join in the fun.

“…… And the prize of this alchemy competition is, of course, the alchemy laboratory left by my master. ”

Old Edward spoke slowly, as if chatting.

"However, this inheritance of the master is for the whole world, so even if it is an initial research, every alchemist who participates in the competition has the right to participate in it, and the specific distribution method will be announced by Mr. Hohenheim on the spot under the supervision of the audience......"

After the old butler had finished speaking slowly, he retreated back to where he had stood at first, as if he had completed his task. He raised his head slightly, looking at the sun gradually setting in the west, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

To tell the truth, the master's entrustment was so heavy that even the master himself did not think about completing it. If it weren't for the help of Maca and Madame Maxim, as well as many others, he couldn't have imagined what he would have done.

And now, this big drama is finally over.

After a lot of emotion, old Edward exhaled softly, and couldn't help but recall the past of living with his master.

"I like to think about the past when I'm fine, is it really old......

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly - if that naughty master was still around, he would definitely use that more than six hundred "old age" to squeeze himself, right?

As soon as he thought of his master, old Edward paused for a moment, and then subconsciously looked at the arena below. And not far from diagonally, the middle-aged wizard in tuxedo, who was also among the top twelve finalists, stood there silently, with a sideways face and not knowing what he was thinking.

"Mark Newton......

Just as the old butler's gaze fell on the man again, there was a faint gloom in the eyes of the old witch standing first on the right.
