507. Leave Beauxbatons
As Scott made his choice, the handwriting on the parchment slowly faded, and then two new lines of writing emerged.
[Selection.]
Virtual Alchemy Bench, Open! ]
Click......
With the sound of machinery turning, the huge experimental table in front of Scott instantly split into several pieces and twisted like a Rubik's cube.
Soon, the bench was reassembled and reappeared in front of him.
Scott noticed that the benchtop had changed dramatically.
The reddish-brown countertop had turned a solid black, and the utensils and slate that had been placed on the countertop were gone.
[Please select an alchemy array]
A line of prompts appears on top of the black countertop.
Scott stretched out his finger and swiped across the countertop, choosing one from the dazzling array of alchemy.
As he chosen, the alchemy array instantly expanded, moving to the center of the table and beginning to rotate slowly.
[Please select an alchemy material]
Scott then chose a few more from the available materials.
Soon, the materials he had selected appeared directly on the countertop.
Scott tried to reach for the material, only to find that it was just a phantom.
It's like a holographic projection.
"I see."
Scott knew what the so-called virtual alchemy experiment was all about.
He followed the prompts, flicking his fingers on the countertop, moving the material into the alchemy circle.
After that, I started to set the temperature of the virtual flame according to the prompts.
The alchemical experiment began immediately.
After a few trials, Scott was pleased to find that the hint on the parchment was not lying.
The virtual alchemy laboratory can indeed simulate most of the alchemy reactions 100%, and can also accelerate the reaction process.
This made Scott's eyes hot.
If you can have such a test bench yourself, you can save a lot of materials and time when practicing alchemy.
Don't be tempted like that fake magic stone, Scott already wants to move the laboratory table in front of him straight home!
This kind of squandering all kinds of precious materials and verifying all kinds of conjectures is really ...... It's so cool!
It's a pity that he can't do that.
Scott, who was very sensible, sighed.
If you can't get it, make the most of this time you can use!
Scott quickly removed the distractions from his mind and began to devote himself wholeheartedly to the alchemy experiment.
Until a crisp bell rang.
Scott glanced at his watch, and two hours had passed.
"The last warrior completes the challenge." Professor Russell's voice rang out, "Come out." ”
The door to the alchemy lab opened.
Scott reluctantly left the alchemy lab and walked out of the laboratory.
He noticed two more doors on one side of the wall, and Fleur and Krum stepped out of them.
Looking at the two doors with the exact same number that read [Lemay Alchemy Laboratory], Scott was already sure that he had been deceived.
What he entered wasn't really [Lemay's lab] at all.
In the living room, Professor Russell had risen from the couch.
"Follow me."
He turned and walked to the other side, reaching out to pull open the heavy curtains.
Behind the curtain is an elevator.
"Inspection ......"
A mechanical female voice rang out.
A portrait of Professor Russell is outlined on the metal door of the blue light elevator.
"August Russell."
"Identification."
"Approved."
The elevator door slowly opened, and Professor Russell stepped inside.
The three Scotts followed him and stepped into the elevator.
"Start going up."
The elevator began to move, but soon stopped again.
As the door opened, Scott found that they had returned to the lobby of the Alchemy Museum, where the audience was located.
They were greeted with deafening applause and cheers.
Scott waved at the location of the Hogwarts delegation.
"Let's welcome three warriors! And, the facilitator of this round, Professor Russell! ”
Mr. Joly's voice sounded hoarse, but he kept screaming.
"This round is over!"
"Next, it's the most exciting part!"
"The five members of the referee team, including me, will score the performance of the three warriors in this round!"
"After the scoring is completed, the champion of this triwizard tournament is about to appear!"
"The winner will not only add to the honor of his school, but he will also receive a cash prize of up to 1,000 gold Galleons!"
With Jolixian's passionate shout, the sound of the audience cheering suddenly went to the next level.
After a while, the scoring session officially began.
"First of all, it's about scoring the last warrior to complete the challenge in this round."
"She is, the warrior from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Fleur Delacour!"
Mr. Jolly explained as he raised his wand first.
A huge number [8] rises.
Next up is Mr. Lefeble.
He also gave it an 8.
Immediately afterwards, Madame Maxim gave 8 points.
Professor Hartman gave a score of 7.
Dumbledore gave an 8 points.
Mr. Jolly loudly announced, "Miss Delacour scored 39 points in this round!" ”
In the standings, Seremban's total points became 128 points, temporarily jumping to first place.
"Next, let's score the second warrior to complete the challenge in this round."
"He's the warrior from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Victor Klum!"
Mr. Jolly gave Krum a 9.
Mr. Lefeble, also with 9 points.
Mrs. Maxim glanced at Professor Hartmann and gave a score of 7, prompting boos from the Durmstrang delegation.
[9] Dumbledore raised his wand and revealed the number.
In the end, Professor Hartmann gave a direct 10 points.
Of course, he received boos from the audience.
"Mr. Krum scored in this round, 44 points!"
The standings changed again, and Krum's total points became 129 points, one point behind Seremban and temporarily in first place.
"Oh......"
The Beauxbatons students sighed in chagrin.
"Next, we will score the first warrior to complete the challenge in this round."
"He's Scott, a warrior from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"
Mr. Jolly gave Scott a straight 10.
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Lefeble, Lady Maxime, and Dumbledore all gave 10 points one after another.
Only Professor Hartmann is left unscored.
He raised his wand, seemingly hesitant.
At this moment, a uniform shout came from the audience.
"10 points!"
"Champion!"
"10 points!"
"Champion!"
"10 points!"
"Champion!"
It's Scott's classmates.
They shouted as they shook their fists at Professor Hartmann.
In fact, at this time, Scott's championship was already secured.
Even if Professor Hartman gave him a score of 0, he was still the overall winner of the three rounds.
But apparently, Scott's companions don't think so.
They were early on unhappy with Professor Hartman, who had been grading unfairly.
[10]
Perhaps knowing that his score could no longer affect the ranking, Professor Hartmann finally gave 10 points amid the shouts of the crowd.
"Congratulations!"
Mr. Jolly led the applause.
"Congratulations to Mr. Trollope for scoring a perfect score of 50 points in this round!"
"I don't think it came as a surprise to everyone."
"Monsieur Trollope's excellence is obvious to all!"
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations to Hogwarts!"
Amid a flurry of applause, Scott topped the standings with a total of 144 points.
"Congratulations, Scott."
"Congratulations."
Both Fleur and Krum politely gave Scott a hug.
Next came the award ceremony.
Scott: The elevator sank to the ground behind them, and a stone platform rose.
The sound of passionate music sounded, and countless ribbons and flowers fell from above.
Mr. Jolly and Madame Maxime stepped down from the jury.
On behalf of the French Ministry of Magic and Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, they handed Scott a trophy and a Gringotts cheque.
"Congratulations, Mr. Trollope!"
Mr. Jolly warmly hugged Scott.
"You're the best young wizard I've ever met!"
He made no secret of his admiration for Scott, posing with him in front of the cameras of reporters.
"Congratulations."
Mrs. Maxim also bent down and gently hugged Scott.
"What a pity, Mr. Trollope."
She said in a sincere tone.
"I noticed that you have a strong talent for alchemy, and you should have come to Beauxbatons to go to school in the first place."
"Thank you." Scott replied politely, "Hogwarts is fine too." ”
"Of course, I don't mean to belittle Hogwarts."
Madame Maxim straightened up elegantly.
"But as far as I know, Hogwarts doesn't have alchemy classes, does it?"
"You're right." Scott said helplessly.
Hogwarts was lacking in this course.
Madame Maxim smiled slightly, "You are still in the sixth year, and you can transfer to Beauxbatons in the final year if you wish." ”
"Huh?"
Scott looked up at her in some surprise.
Mrs. Maxim smiled kindly, and continued to persuade Scott.
"You've already experienced it, the virtual alchemy bench of the Lemay Alchemy Laboratory."
"If you transfer over, I'll be open to you."
"One year is enough time for you to take a big step forward in alchemy."
"Also, don't worry... Examinations, certificates issued by the French Ministry of Magic are also used in magical societies around the world. ”
At this, she lowered her voice.
"You should understand that coming to France will also allow you to avoid the chaos of England."
Scott sensed Madame Maxim's sincerity.
He smiled and said, "Thank you for the invitation, to be honest, I do have some temptations, but ......"
He shook his head anyway.
"As you said, Britain is in turmoil right now, and I should do my part to do it, rather than choose to run away."
Madame Maxim was stunned when she heard this, raised her huge palm and gently patted him on the shoulder.
"Oh, you're a good boy."
She said with emotion.
"In that case, I won't say any more."
"Thank you for your appreciation." Scott thanked him again.
"My invitation is valid for as long as I'm the headmaster of Beauxbatons."
Madame Maxim said again.
"In the future, even if you have graduated from Hogwarts, you can choose to come to Beauxbatons to exchange and further your alchemy."
"I'll think about it." Scott said solemnly.
Madame Maxim nodded.
After the hustle and bustle of the awards ceremony, Scott finally got rid of the annoying flashing lights and reporters and came together with his classmates.
Everyone was excited, and they took the trouble to congratulate Scott and take turns lifting the huge trophy.
"I guess it's going to be in the prize room on the fourth floor of Hogwarts Castle!"
Fred said loudly to Scott as he held the [Magic Mirror] in his hand to shoot the trophy.
"The students who will be punished for labor service in the future will be responsible for cleaning it up, and then pay homage to your name!"
Scott couldn't help but laugh, "Don't look at it, I'm still alive." ”
"I think it should be in the Ravenclaw common room." Roger said.
But his statement was met with opposition from the crowd.
Ethan kept patting Scott on the shoulder.
"It's an honor that belongs to Hogwarts, and of course, to Ravenclaw!"
He giggled with delight all the time.
The crowd walked out of Beauxbatons Castle with Scott and the trophy and returned to the Hogwarts Tower on the lawn.
Fred yelled, "When are we going back to Hogwarts?" I can't wait! ”
"Don't worry, we'll go back now."
Dumbledore suddenly walked in through the tower gate.
"Can I go back now?" Fred asked in surprise, "No goodbye, no farewell?" ”
"Oh, they're already here."
Dumbledore motioned for them to look out of the door.
By this time, Madame Maxim had led the Beauxbatons students to the lawn.
Scott also saw Lucio waving in this direction.
On the other side, the Durmstrang delegation also boarded the ghost boat docked at the lake.
In this way, the members of the Hogwarts and Durmstrang delegations left the beautiful Beauxbatons in a magical vehicle to the farewell of the Beauxbatons teachers and students.
Inside the tower, Scott and the others stood in front of the window of the hall, looking at the Pyrenees as they faded away.
"Oh, I'll miss being here."
"Me too."
"It's a perfect ride."
"You're right."
The girls were a little sad.
The tower rose above the clouds and flew towards England in the tow of the Thestrals.
The rest of the day, Scott and the others began to hold an in-flight banquet in the lobby on the first floor of the tower to celebrate their Triwizard victory.
The hard-working house-elves enthusiastically delivered a variety of delicacies.
The atmosphere inside the tower has become joyful again.
Until Ethan's sudden words broke the joyous atmosphere.
"I want to give a word of caution." He said, "What awaits us in seventh grade when we go back is... Examination. ”
Cedric followed, "Sixth grade also has to take the Phantom Shifting Qualifying Exam, oh, and of course, the end-of-school exam. ”
The hall became quiet.
A few seconds later, everyone howled again.
"Oh!"
"No!"
"It's over!"
"Damn, why remind me!"
"It's not true......"
