After getting the small gift left by Nicol Lemay, Zhang Xu, who wanted to go back to the dormitory, was caught by Dumbledore.

After following Dumbledore out of the castle, Zhang Xu learned what Nicol Lemay had left to Dumbledore under Dumbledore's explanation.

Dumbledore had already started planning to make a new vehicle for the school when Hogwarts got rich four years earlier.

Rich and willful, Dumbledore naturally wanted to make a vehicle that was not the same as that of other magical schools.

It was only during the design phase that Dumbledore discovered that the energy supply of the vehicle was a major problem.

So Dumbledore approached Nicol Lemay, who was still alive at the time, and asked him to help solve the problem.

Nicol Lemay finally agreed to Dumbledore's request, saving the life-sustaining medicine while helping to refine a large number of low-profile versions of the Philosopher's Stone.

These low-profile versions of the Magic Stone can't be used as a life-sustaining medicine, nor can they be used to turn stones into gold, so they can only be used as high-efficiency magic batteries.

"Once you have all these magic stones installed, it won't need to be pulled by Thestrals." Dumbledore said to Panda Zhang, who was loading pieces of heavy, low-grade philosopher's stones into the energy chamber.

The chest containing the low-level magic stones is naturally magical, but it is still very heavy to carry, and there are a lot of low-level magic stones in the space that has been expanded with magic. Moreover, the density of these low-grade magic stones is not small, and the weight of a large piece is almost equal to a full gas canister. Because they are rich in magic, the levitation spell does not work on them. Therefore, Zhang Xu can only become a giant panda and then carry and install these low-profile magic stones.

It's no wonder why Lao Deng didn't come over in advance to pull back these low-level magic stones, but drove the flying saucer over and installed it.

"Professor, why did you make this look like a flying saucer?" Panda Zhang asked Dumbledore a question he had wanted to ask during the day.

Dumbledore replied, "Because this shape is more suitable for using the Thestrals to pull it when the magic is insufficient." When its own magic is sufficient, its form can be transformed into another shape suitable for its own flight. ”

"What does that look like?" Giant Panda Zhang asked curiously.

"You'll find out when you've installed all these magic stones." Dumbledore laughed and sold off.

Zhang Giant Panda was speechless, this guy could still transform in the second stage.

After more than 20 minutes, Zhang Giant Panda finished installing all the low-level magic stones, and all the additional low-level magic stones were all put into the warehouse.

After Zhang Xu and Dumbledore stepped out of the flying saucer, they saw Dumbledore casting spells towards the flying saucer.

Under the moonlight, the flying saucer resting on the lawn reflecting the moonlight slowly began to elongate from a disc shape, and then turned into a ...... Space shuttle.

(ㅍ_ㅍ)

Regarding this space shuttle printed with the Hogwarts school emblem, Zhang Xu was already very calm, and he didn't bother to complain anymore, even if this guy became the Archangel of the United Earth Army, it didn't matter.

(•ω•)つ🔑: "This is for you." ”

Dumbledore handed Zhang Xu a bronze key large enough to kill someone.

"It can be activated with this key." Dumbledore said to Zhang Xu, "There are two such keys, and the other one is in Minerva's hand. ”

Zhang Xu nodded, took the key, and then put it away.

In addition to Professor McGonagall, Zhang Xu could naturally think of the reason why Dumbledore gave him a key.

Whether it's an escape or a backup, this shuttle can be used.

"Does it have a name?" Zhang Xu asked suddenly.

"Huh? I didn't take this into account. Dumbledore replied.

So Zhang Xu took out his wand and gestured at the space shuttle a few times, and a row of words appeared under the nose of the space shuttle.

“Albus· Percival·ulfric· Brian· Dumbledore”

Zhang Xu put away his wand and said to Dumbledore with a smile, "I think this name is good. ”

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, and then didn't say anything, but acquiesced in Zhang Xu's naming of the space shuttle "Old Deng".

After tossing and turning, Dumbledore and Zhang Xu returned to Beauxbatons Castle.

Before parting, Dumbledore reminded Zhang Xu not to forget to go to the conference room for a meeting at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

🕘 Dividing line 🕘

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, after breakfast, Zhang Xu followed Dumbledore to the conference room of Beauxbatons Castle.

Soon after, all eight principals were in the conference room.

Not only Dumbledore brought Zhang Xu, but the other seven headmasters all brought the captains of their respective school's Quidditch teams.

The topic of today's meeting is to set the general direction of the Quidditch game of the eight schools.

Dumbledore, as the most prestigious presence among the headmasters, was naturally the first to speak at the meeting.

After Lao Deng politely said a few words, he asked Zhang Xu to throw out a few topics and a few sets of plans prepared earlier for everyone to discuss.

The first topic that Zhang Xu first raised was the proposal for him to personally pay for the competition to make a championship trophy made of nearly ten kilograms of gold and silver, which was quickly approved by the principals.

Everyone knows that Zhang Xu is the initiator of the three-school Quidditch competition, and he can also be said to be the father of the eight-school Quidditch competition in the future, so everyone gave him a face.

As for the appearance of this trophy, it is a giant panda holding a golden snitch and riding a broomstick, because it is Zhang Xu's money, everyone will recognize it.

Giant pandas are pretty cute anyway.

The second topic is that the tournament is officially named the Eight Schools Quidditch Championship, and the organizer is the League of Eight Quidditch Associations, and the president of the alliance is ranked according to the time of the establishment of his school.

In addition, provisions have been added for other schools of magic to join separately or jointly. The terms of the joint participation of magic schools were proposed by Zhang Xu for the sake of his country's future participation in the competition, after all, there are too many schools that teach magic in China, and they can only be combined to count one place, so that everyone is willing to play with you.

It took only two minutes for the item to be adopted. These problems have been communicated privately before, and today everyone raises their watches to make a decision, which is to go through the process.

The third topic was the timing of the event. Initially set to be held every four years, the season is set as a cross-year event according to the characteristics of each school's academic year, and the first competition season is set for the 99/00 season, filling the gap of four years between the two Quidditch World Cups to increase the visibility of the competition.

This meant that Zhang Xu would not be able to participate in the first Eight Schools Quidditch Competition, but Zhang Xu did not regret this, after all, he was the prototype of the championship trophy.

The fourth topic is the choice of the competition system, and the meeting preliminarily selected two plans for the group stage and the knockout round divided into two groups.

However, at present, it seems that the call for the group stage plan is higher, because in this way, each school participates in more games, and avoids the "one game" situation in the knockout round.

Related to this, there are also issues such as schedule arrangement, home and away arrangements, etc., which will be discussed later.

Then there's the question of tournament opening, tournament sponsors, and so on. However, these issues have mature examples such as the Quidditch League and the Quidditch World Cup, so once the general direction is determined, I will leave it for later.

This is a congress of unity, a congress of victory, a congress of encouragement, and a congress of progress.

This conference marked a new era of exchange between the world's magic schools.

At the end of the meeting, just in time for lunch, the participants walked out of the conference room and walked towards the Beauxbatons cafeteria.

Dumbledore, along with Lady Maxime and Sepp Helberg, walked out of the office and discussed keeping the original three-school Quidditch tournament as a friendly match during the three-year gap between the eight-school Quidditch tournaments.

And Zhang Xu had nothing to do, and walked to the cafeteria with Gabrielle, who was waiting for him near the conference room.
