Since the last attack on Wendy and the disappearance of the first grader, the atmosphere in the school has suddenly become tense, and the noise of students laughing in the hallways has now completely disappeared.

Everyone hurried past with their heads down, holding the books they needed for that day's lessons, their eyes looking around nervously, for fear that a strange man in a black robe would jump out of some dark corner and pull them into the endless darkness.

Less than 24 hours after the attack, the next night, there were assurances that the parents of the missing student wept bitterly at the door of the principal's office on the sixth floor, in grief — the school was slow to announce the student's death, and Mrs. Maxim insisted that there would be something to be gained by continuing the search.

The poor parents were willing to think so, but unfortunately their family seemed to have a magic item that could observe the status of the family members, just like the clock that Brandi saw at the Weasley house with the family's name engraved on it...... And now, the part that belongs to their son has been confirmed to be useless.

The news quickly spread throughout the school by word of mouth, causing great shock and panic. A little boy in the first grade was quietly killed under the noses of all the teachers and students of the school! And at that time, his friend was even going to the toilet in a cubicle a few meters away?

When the mother, who had cried and fainted twice, woke up again, her eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, and there was not a trace of brilliance. Ignoring the size gap with Madame Maxim, the father, who had lost his mind, clutched at the hem of her skirt and demanded that the school conduct a memory search of witnesses to determine if he was lying.

A desperate roar even resounded throughout the castle.

In such a situation, how can anyone have the heart to attend classes honestly. The owls flew to the other side of the English Channel in flocks, protesting to the Ministry of Magic and the school, demanding that the exchange be ended early and that they leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

The response was quick and, as Orianna had expected, the entire exchange was compressed into a week, and most of the classes were cancelled or turned into short presentations.

It is said that Fudge, the Minister of Magic, insisted that the exchange be terminated immediately and that personnel be arranged to escort everyone out of Beauxbatons safely, but who expected that at this time, Dumbledore would actually make a fool, and he resisted the pressure from his parents and the Ministry of Magic, and demanded that the exchange group at least leave after completing all the alchemy courses.

The Daily Prophet used four pages to describe Dumbledore as a complete fool who would not hesitate to sell his students in order to curry favor with Beauxbatons, and the yelling letters sent to the Headmaster's office have not stopped from the attack last night to the present.

This is really hard Professor Dumbledore...... What a heavy price he paid to meet Nicol Lemay.

When he heard the news, Brandi just sighed that Dumbledore could do this, but you can imagine what a terrible trap he and Nicolame had set up for him to get into- eh...... Who let people eat people with soft hands and short mouths?

Brandi was in a mess right now, as Dumbledore probably didn't know that his main mission had made any progress at all. Audrey didn't seem to mind giving the small card inside the box to Britney, who likes to collect magic array patterns, but she couldn't hold off Anna's mouth lotus...... Don't look at Brandi and they usually laugh and play together, but when it comes to Audrey's vital interests, Anna is as serious and scary as an old hen guarding her cubs.

"That's not going to work." When Brandi made a request, Anna pulled the dazed Audrey over and muttered quietly, her eyes looking up and down his body vigilantly. "Who knows if you pretend that you just want an ornament, and then wait for the opportunity to play some trick of stealing beams and changing pillars! Don't even think about it until you catch that guy who intimidated Audrey! ”

There's no way around it, Audrey treats Anna like her own sister, and there is still a reason for her words to go against it?

So Brandy had to stay by their side from time to time, waiting carefully for the venomous snake that was waiting in the shadows to show its fangs.

In this way, in an atmosphere of trembling, the heavily armed Beauxbatons successfully survived the first day after the attack.

The next day, when Brandi and Akihari yawn from the observation deck, they are surprised to find that the castle has changed dramatically.

Ivy snaked its way down the stone cracks in the wall into the depths of the hallway, silk threads hanging from the vines, and small fist-sized gifts tied to the other end. The corridor was filled with fragrant petals, and the little forest fairies vibrated their wings vigorously and flew up and down the ceiling of the corridor, pulling out handfuls of magical flowers from the small flower baskets in their hands. A few of the boys in the lower grades excitedly poked their heads out of the window and looked out of the castle shouting, not knowing what they were shouting about.

The reserved and elegant Akihari was reluctant to hang out with a bunch of unknown kids, but the manly Britney didn't mind - soon, the boys felt a huge pressure on their backs, and a tall muscular woman from England unceremoniously reached out and pulled them aside a few feet, her relaxed expression looking like she was playing with a few flies.

"You! ......" One of the boys jumped out very angrily, but Britney stared at her eyes and straightened her chest without any scruples, and the seven-foot ** who almost wanted to break through her robe shook under his eyelids, and he dropped a sentence very decisively, "Next!" Then the classmate who pulled him quickly retreated.

As a result, the reasons and arguments that Brandi had been preparing for a long time were useless.

"Come and see Ah Qiu, what kind of welcome scene seems to be being arranged below?" He poked his head out, then beckoned to Qiu Zhang behind him. "What is this, yesterday it looked like it was going to die, why is it so grand and festive today...... Christmas is early? ”

Akihari curiously leaned side by side with Brandi, watching the professors below magically roll the scarlet carpet all the way to the school gate. "Could it be something to do with our alchemy professor? Today is a new introduction to alchemy, and they are welcoming Mr. Nicolame......

"What?" Brandy's eyes widened wider than two, "Is Nicola May so popular?" ”

"Of course? They are the main sponsors of Beauxbatons School, haven't you heard from Miss Delacour? Many of the magic paraphernalia in the castle were sponsored by him for free, and immortality was not a big deal for him at all - and Mr. Lemay seemed to be an alumnus of Beauxbatons, a national treasure alchemist in the French wizarding world. ”

Indeed, Nicolamay spent many years tinkering with his great invention on his country estate in Devon, and it seemed inconceivable that he suddenly agreed to come to Beauxbatons. It's no wonder that both the Ministries of Magic and the schools of the two countries finally agreed to Dumbledore's suggestion to continue academic exchanges - the castle was not safe enough, and if the Hogwarts exchange students slipped away early, what would Nicolame do in Beauxbatons? Not everyone had the same good relationship with Nicolame as Dumbledore to convince him to take the risk of coming to school.

I heard that Nicolame probably didn't arrive until after lunch, so everyone in the morning didn't have much desire to study hard, and stared at the wall clock on the wall one by one to count the time and wait for the end of class.

Fortunately, Professor Roman is a lively and cheerful and good teacher, and seeing that everyone can't even have any curiosity about the mysterious disappearing Dutch ruins, he very decisively brought the topic to Lemay - he is really worthy of being an expert in mysterious history, and Lemay's fame alone has put forward several unbelievable versions, and one of them happens to be the truth that Brandi learned from Dumbledore. I don't know where Professor Roman heard such a secret little news.

After class and lunch, everyone at Hogwarts came to the alchemy classroom slowly. Since Nicolame was here for their group of exchange students, the classroom was not large, so Brandi and the others could only sit comfortably in pairs. Those who skipped their afternoon classes in order to catch a glimpse of their idols who had lived hundreds of years older could only cower by the wall outside the classroom and bite their handkerchiefs...... In a few moments, Madame Maxim roared and rushed down the stairs, waving her arms as thick as tree trunks to drive the students down the stairs.

Immediately afterwards, everyone got their wish and met a man who symbolized immortality, wealth, and freedom.

The initial impression disappointed most people, he thought that he would come in with a strange dress, a breezy cloud, and unfathomable eyes, and at the worst he would have to have a white beard that could be dragged to the ground like Dumbledore. Who knew that Mr. Lemay was just a slow and leisurely old man who described himself as withered.

Only Brandi could probably understand the reason why Nicolame was the way he was, and his conscience had been hit hard again. If it weren't for his gluttonous guardian spirit, hehe...... How could Mr. Lemay have ended up in such a step?

I don't know if it's an illusion, Lemay, who was standing still on the podium, seemed to see through himself at a glance, he stared at himself intentionally or unintentionally, and an unknown smile bloomed on his wrinkled face. No matter how you look at it, Dumbledore has already said hello in advance and sold himself completely.

I don't know what the two old men are planning when they join forces.

"Alchemy, in fact, should be a manifestation of a magical creation built on the basis of charms and runes...... It may sound closer to Potions, but it's actually much more systematic and rigorous. Alchemy is based on the formation of various runes, the chanting of deduced spells as a medium, and the magic contained in itself or external objects as fuel to transform matter into a specific form or attribute...... The earliest alchemical classic, the Jade Record, once divided the nature of the alchemy array into twelve categories, and was later expanded into the Hundred and Twelve Books by the famous Arab alchemist Zabiel, but the general idea remains the same, they are ......"

The other senior students here all seem to have learned a little bit about alchemy in their families...... Nicola May passed the information so obscurely, there were still a few people who could barely keep up, and they all blushed with excitement, and the notes under their hands were remembered quickly.

Except for Brandi, he listened for less than five minutes before mosquito coils began to roll in his eyes, and before he knew it, he dozed off. Until something hit him in the head...... He looked up and saw Nicolame standing in front of him, looking at him with a smirk, his shriveled lips twitching a few times. Under the envious and angry gaze of everyone around him, he quickly understood another meaning of Lemay's words.

"This classmate, please stay a little after class, I have something to say to you."
