Chapter 551 Alchemy Legacy and Competition Announcement

"Can't come?" Hearing what the fat young man said, Madam Maxim looked a little anxious, "What's wrong with Mr. Hohenheim?"

In this competition, there are not many qualified judges, and Mr. Hohenheim is one of the few important candidates who can take up the position of chief judge. That year, the winner of the gold medal for pioneering contribution in the last International Alchemy Conference was Mr. Alessandro von Hohenheim.

By the way, Dumbledore also made an appearance at one session of the conference when he was a student, and won the International Alchemy Award as the "youngest".

It's a pity that since Mr. Hohenheim's conference, this award has been buried in the pile of old papers due to the downturn in alchemy, and there has been no chance of being restarted until now.

In other words, if the inheritance of alchemy is almost cut off, how can there be enough alchemists to support such high-quality alchemy exchange conferences?

A master of alchemy like Mr. Hohenheim is naturally the best judge for the upcoming alchemy competition.

However, in the face of Mrs. Maxim's eager questioning, the fat young man standing at the door of the auditorium did not feel anxious at all.

"Hi! Actually it's nothing—" He shrugged his shoulders, the waves of flesh on his chest and cheeks fluctuated, "If you say that the old man was fine yesterday, he got up at night to go to the toilet, and broke his waist ...I think he can't go anywhere these days, he is lying at home!"

That's a good reason, quite unpretentious! Mrs. Maxim and President Akinbad looked at each other, their eyes seemed a little erratic, maybe they couldn't help but roll their eyes in the next moment!

"Uh... just hurt your waist? Oh, no... I mean, is your father okay?" Mrs. Maxim corrected her words, and it was a greeting, but what she cared about the most was Or whether Mr. Hohenheim will be able to serve as a judge at that time.

"Well... old man, he's really fine!" The fat young master kept saying, "It's just a minor injury. He's already taken the medicine, and he'll recover in about two or three days."

After hearing that it was only two or three days, Mrs. Maxim finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When it comes to holding a competition, the most important thing is manpower—the first is of course the contestants, and the second is the selection of judges. As for the staff, there must be as many as you need.

As one of the most important alchemy masters today, Mr. Hohenheim can say that he is irreplaceable. After all, it will be difficult to find a second judge with his level in a short period of time.

At that time, if there is a problem because the judges are not enough to convince the audience, then the representatives of various forces who are sitting in this auditorium right now may have an excuse to join forces to make trouble. These wolf cubs are all predators who move when they hear the gorilla, so they can't be allowed to seize such a big chance of predation.

"Since Mr. Hohenheim is fine, it would be great!" Mrs. Maxim returned to her usual grace, and she said with a smile, "Come on, since you are visiting on behalf of your father, please take your seat quickly Bar!"

At this moment, all kinds of food on the table have not been removed, and the fat young master has long been greedy. As soon as he heard Mrs. Maxim say that he could find a seat, his appetite immediately exploded. He glanced casually and walked towards the seat closest to the door.

"Hey! Dude, come... move a little to the side so that I can rest too." The fat young master's fat face was covered with a smile, which looked a little wretched and funny, "Master, my buttocks along the way They were all stuck on the chair in the carriage, and I almost broke my own waist trying to pull it out just now! I have to mend it..."

As he spoke, he squeezed into an empty chair, and his extraordinarily broad body suddenly pushed the guy beside him with the chair aside.

If it is a coincidence that he picked this position, the two unlucky guys who were forced to push away by him were the two Taifler family members who had been staring at Maca before.

Maca could see it from a distance, and this Master Taifle's face was full of anger immediately, but after hesitating for a while, he simply moved a little further to the side. Naturally, now is obviously not the time to make trouble.

After the fat young master of the Hohenheim family finally took his seat, Mrs. Maxim began to greet everyone again. What she said next was not the main point, most of them were irrelevant scenes.

But even so, all the guests turned their attention to her. Anyway, this Mrs. Maxim is the principal of Beauxbatons, and this is also her territory. Respecting the speech of the master here is a social etiquette that people with status and status must abide by.

Such superficial rules are always a bit boring to say, but they are also essential.

It's just that the attention of these people couldn't continue to concentrate. It didn't take long before there was a sudden bang—the fat young master of the Hohenheim family started eating!

Maca's seat is relatively near the front, and in terms of position, he is still far away on the other side of the auditorium. But he is one of the few wizards in this auditorium who can look at the fat young master with a smile on his face.

When this big fat man started to eat, he was quite imposing.

Not that he was rough. In fact, his knife and fork are all held in his hands in a very orderly manner, and his actions are not vulgar, and he cuts the steak without making any movement.

Where is the problem?

It turned out that it was all due to his extraordinarily thick body fat, which made him have to lift his elbows when putting food into his mouth. But he is very concerned about his eating movements. In order to comply with dining etiquette, he tried his best not to raise his elbows too high, so that he had to suck the food in with his mouth every time he ate.

Listening to the sound of sucking and slipping again and again, people can't understand whether he cares about etiquette or habit.

Maca found that since this strange fat man appeared, the tense atmosphere in the auditorium had been completely destroyed by him.

Speaking of which, he also knows Mr. Hohenheim of the Alchemy Research Center. He is an alchemy scholar who focuses on research and innovation. But who knew that such a respected master of alchemy would have given birth to such a funny and fat son—judging from the age of the father and son, when the master who was addicted to academics gave birth to this son, It should be forty or fifty years old.

Is this because he was too pampered because he got a child when he was old? At least Maca doesn't look like it.

But in the final analysis, this fat young master not only eats immediately after sitting down, but also makes a lot of noise, which is indeed a bit out of place. But here, no one really cares about him. After all, there are many more important things than blaming him!

look! Mrs. Maxim in front of the auditorium was not affected at all. Although she also subconsciously glanced at the big fat man, she didn't stumble even once on the unnutritious words in her mouth. After most people finally stopped paying attention to the big fat man, she then talked about something more meaningful to everyone.

"...I think everyone understands that if the legacy of Mr. Nicole Flamel is officially made public, it will have a great impact on the entire magic world! But in fact, Mr. Flamel is not unconditionally public—— "

Seeing that Mrs. Maxim finally put the topic on the point, all the guests immediately paid more attention. Soon, their eyes were all focused on Madam Maxim.

"The legacy left by Mr. LeMay before his death is his private alchemy laboratory. As for the location of that laboratory, only Mr. Edward LeMay knows for the time being."

Having said that, Madam Maxime nodded again to the old butler of the Flamel family.

"Yes, I think everyone can more or less guess," she said. "The first problem we will face is how to open Mr. Nicole Flamel's laboratory. I have heard it before, and it is not a This is an easy task that requires us to have a sufficient understanding of alchemy 'in itself'."

In fact, many magical relics from ancient times have been unearthed in the history of the magic world, and most of them are still being researched and detected continuously. Most of these ruins have two things in common, that is, it is easy to find and difficult to enter, and in some places even Muggles who don't know magic can easily find them.

The same is true of Nicole Flamel's alchemy laboratory.

"Mr. Edward Flamel said that it was one of the subjects set by Nicole Flamel to find a way to interpret his legacy. If there is no wizard in this world who can really understand 'what is alchemy' If not, then the legacy he left doesn’t matter if it’s public or not.”

At this point, the old butler Edward also stood up.

"My master once said that Mr. Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, gave him hope and let him know that there may still be many knowledgeable wizards in today's wizarding world. .So, he left this legacy instead of dying with his wife without saying a word."

He said, thought for a while, and then said seriously: "So I think that although the master often said that he has seen all the talents wither in the 665 years of his life, he still has expectations for the current magic world. He must have always believed that our magic would gradually flourish again, as generations of young wizards worked their way to the next peak."

The old butler's words were so sincere that even if the representatives of these forces had impure thoughts, they couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

The gradual decline of the magic world is obvious to all. Although it seems to have improved in recent years, it is still no longer brilliant. Whether it is a family power or an individual, they all hope that the entire magic world can have more and better progress and development.

At this moment, Madam Maxim said loudly:

"So, Mr. Akinbad and Steward Edward decided that we will hold a world-class alchemy competition, so that more alchemy talents can come back to the public and show us a more colorful alchemy world! "
