Chapter 28 Magic School Potion Championship
Nicholas talked about Sumer, Arad, Assyria, ancient Egypt, Rome, the conflict between the church and wizards in the Middle Ages, and Grindelwald and Voldemort decades ago...
In his words, many pure-blood families that have been passed down for thousands of years have completely forgotten the ancient history, but they still retain the idea of wizards above and wizards building a country in their bones.
But the establishment of a wizard country is like the curse of defense against the dark arts. Whenever someone tries to do this, they will encounter various accidents.
Later wizards and magic historians have thousands of explanations for this. As for the real reason, I am afraid it has long been lost in the dust of history.
If you want to understand these contents, you can only look for the relics according to the prophecy of the alchemy book.
Rolf was a little resistant to Abraham's prophecy, but his resistance was useless.
The prophecy is there. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, you will move in that direction. Even your deliberate avoidance may prompt the prophecy to happen.
Voldemort tried to prevent the prophecy from happening. He chose to attack Harry, and then...successfully marked an opponent for himself!
Even a powerful Dark Lord is like this. Rolf thought about it and felt that he really had no choice but to say... prophecy is like KFC's crazy Thursday. If you can't block it, just enjoy it.
Nico gave Rolf a dictionary of ancient magic words he compiled, which is more complete than any other book.
If you want to understand that alchemy book, you have to learn these contents first!
Rolf didn't have much interest in Abraham's prophecy and resurrecting Helena, but he was very interested in making the Philosopher's Stone!
After the chat, the tense atmosphere was relieved a lot. Rolf followed Nico to visit the entire pyramid and his alchemy room.
In the alchemy room, Rolf was once again amazed and saw many interesting alchemy items:
A stone basin that can observe what others are doing in real time. You only need to put the other person's hair into it, and you can observe the other person at close range like a camera.
This stone basin is too cruel. Why do you need a pinhole camera with it? It is live broadcast every day.
An alchemy item that can predict the trajectory of the stars. It can measure and predict the direction of the tide.
A flame that can turn water into oil... Could it be that those scammers in the previous life were actually masters of alchemy?
Rolf visited the pyramid for a whole morning. When he walked out of the pyramid, it was already noon. He walked towards the restaurant and saw Dumbledore at the door.
Dumbledore was chatting with two witches. After glimpsing Rolf, he waved to him and motioned him to come over.
Rolf walked towards the three people and looked at the two witches at the same time.
One of them was almost as tall as Hagrid. Although she was not young, she was well-maintained and still had charm.
The witch was wearing a gorgeous robe, with shining gems on her neck and fingers, which made her more beautiful and dazzling.
"This is Madam Maxime," Dumbledore explained, "She is the headmaster of Beauxbatons, ma'am, and this is Rolf Scamander, whom I just mentioned."
"Hello."
Rolf smiled and shook hands with Maxime, and suddenly a "ding" sound rang in his brain.
[An adult hybrid giant is detected, triggering a side quest:
Complete the 100% taming of Olym Maxim, reward:
[Half-Giant Body]
You can grow to the height of a hybrid giant.
(Task not completed)]
Rolf glanced at the task calmly. After so many outrageous tasks, he no longer had much emotion about taming the headmaster of Beauxbatons.
It can only be said that he finally integrated into the abnormal segment of the system and began to feel less out of place.
However, compared to taming hybrid giants, Rolf wanted to tame hybrid veela more, but it was a pity that she didn't come to the manor with Maxim.
Of course, Rolf is a future magizoologist, and he is very interested in veela, purely out of professionalism...without any other thoughts.
Another witch was a white-haired old woman. She greeted him, "Hey, young Scamander, long time no see."
Rolf said cautiously, "Hello, Professor Hicks."
"Not so good." Hicks shook his head and said, "Someone stood me up. I've been sad for almost a year."
"The person who stood you up may have his own difficulties." The boy smiled apologetically.
Lali Hicks was the headmaster of Ilvermorny. Rolf promised her to go to Ilvermorny, but he went to Hogwarts after a false move.
It was indeed a bit embarrassing to meet again.
"Really?" Hicks looked at Dumbledore and smiled:
"I was just chatting with Albus. He told me that he invited you to go to Hogwarts and you agreed immediately. I didn't find any difficulties."
Rolf looked at Dumbledore. The old man raised his head and seemed to be suddenly interested in the clouds in the sky.
Rolf could only sigh and said a little aggrievedly: "You forgot that you refused my request to bring the box."
"It was not me who refused, but your mother, Professor Scamander, who asked me to refuse." Hicks explained:
"I should not have listened to her, especially after hearing about your outstanding performance at Hogwarts."
"Lally, there is nothing you can do if you regret it." Dumbledore said in a light tone.
"You can transfer to another school." Hicks blinked:
"Rolf, a professor of dark magic just died at Hogwarts, you can't learn anything."
"Lally, I have found a new professor." Dumbledore said hurriedly.
"Really? That's a pity." Hicks laughed:
"However, my friend who works in the Education Department of the International Confederation of Wizards told me that Ilvermorny ranked first in the education assessment this year."
"I think there should be some gap in teaching between the first place and the last few schools. Rolf... are you sure you don't want to come?"
This sentence made Dumbledore and Maxim a little embarrassed. Hogwarts was at the bottom, and Beauxbatons was ranked lower than Hogwarts.
"What were you talking about just now?" Rolf had to change the subject stiffly.
"We were talking about the Magic School Potions Championship." Hicks said: "We are going to restart this competition."
Rolf was stunned. Dumbledore had told him about this matter. He thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect it to be held.
However, this matter does have something to do with Rolf.
He mentioned many times that the education level of Hogwarts is very different from that of Ilvermorny.
Dumbledore came up with the idea of mutual exchange and learning, and was ready to restart the magic school potion tournament. If the results were good, he would restart the Triwizard Tournament.
"Will it be held next school year?" Rove was looking forward to it.
"No, we have to observe for another year. I can't let my students stay in a dangerous school for a whole year." Hicks smiled:
"If no one dies in Hogwarts by next summer vacation, I might consider restarting it."
"..."
Rove scratched his head. It was easy to keep students from dying, but it was too difficult to keep the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor from dying.
