Chapter 280

...

Devereaux immediately raised his eyebrows. This [Master of Curses] looked like a golden experience entry. Whether Karkaroff could become the principal or not, he must still have good magic skills.

Well, but the loading time for his golden entry has not yet arrived, so Devereaux has to consider whether to wait a day before leaving.

After all, it is a golden experience-based entry, and it is quite fragrant.

Lupine saw Karkaroff's figure and hurriedly greeted him, trying to show Hogwarts' friendly attitude.

"Hello, you are the principal of Durmstrang, Mr. Karkaroff, right? We are a delegation from Hogwarts. The delegation was originally led by Professor Snape, but he was temporarily busy and could not Come."

When Karkaroff heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked up and down Lupine.

His eyes rested on Lupine's old robe that had been barely refurbished with transfiguration, and there was a hint of undisguised contempt between his brows.

"oh?"

He spoke slowly, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"So, you are the representative sent by Hogwarts now? Are you..."

Lu Ping was a little panicked by the other person's gaze, and he swallowed before answering.

"I am Professor Snape's Potions Assistant. This time I am attending in place of Professor Snape."

As soon as he finished speaking, Karkaroff raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and let out a disdainful snort in his nose. Although the volume was soft, it was so clear that Devereux could hear it clearly.

"Haha, that's it."

Karkaroff's tone became increasingly sinister.

"I didn't expect that Hogwarts would no longer bother to send a formal professor to attend such an occasion. It seems that you... don't take this exhibition very seriously."

At this time, Karkaroff completely looked down on the delegation composed of Devereux and Lupine, and felt strange.

Devereaux originally planned to completely ignore Karkaroff, Voldemort's lackey. After all, what this kind of person is best at is provoking and being weird, and it is not worth wasting time to refute.

But Karkaroff obviously did not intend to give up easily. He raised his chin slightly and continued with a sneer.

"Speaking of which, the Daily Prophet has been blowing up your Hogwarts lately. What kind of news about 'solving major problems'?"

"Originally I was doubtful, but now I suggest you come out and clarify it quickly, lest someone else exposes it to you one day and you will be embarrassed."

Lupine's face suddenly darkened when he heard this.

His fingers clenched slightly, obviously angry at Karkaroff's naked belittlement.

Although Lupine has always been gentle, these words not only smeared Hogwarts, but also questioned the efforts of Snape and Devereaux.

"gentlemen,"

Lupine took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone calm, but his words already had a bit of edge.

"You can't say that. If you have any questions about our research results, I can give you a detailed introduction now. We at Hogwarts never need to exaggerate. You will know what the results are after reading them."

After saying that, Lupine turned around and prepared to turn on the projector, obviously intending to silence Karkaroff through practical actions.

His movements were a bit urgent, and even his sleeves were rolled up, exposing a thin wrist, showing his inner uneasiness.

Devereaux, on the other hand, completely ignored Karkaroff.

Bored, he picked up the half-finished cage next to him and pretended to study it carefully, as if he regarded Karkaroff as nothing.

Unexpectedly, Karkaroff waved his hand with contempt in his tone.

"No, as for your product, let's wait and see everyone's reaction at the exhibition. Then we will know whether it is true or false."

He paused, the corners of his eyes raised slightly, as if he was enjoying the provocation.

"But you are welcome to come and take a look at our exhibits. By the way, our products have been classified as special tools by the Ministry of Magic, and the formula is absolutely confidential!"

After saying that, he sneered, his voice sharp and harsh, as if he was deliberately trying to make people unhappy.

"I don't know what Sir Granger will think when he sees your situation later,"

Karkaroff's tone was filled with false regret.

"It's really puzzling that he gave you the best position in the exhibition. Alas, after all, he is old and his vision is not as good as before. This is understandable. People always grow old."

Devereaux showed a slight sneer on his lips, while Lupine said nothing.

Seeing that neither of them responded, Karkaroff's smile deepened.

He patted his robe lightly, as if the conversation had stained him in some way, and then turned to leave.

"Okay, let me go check out the other booths."

He said without looking back, his tone full of condescension.

"I hope they won't all be at this 'level', otherwise our Durmstrang will become the protagonist effortlessly. After all, we are the only ones who have to keep the formula secret. Alas, in this way, the gold content of the exhibition will be too low. ”

As he said that, he turned around and left.

Lupine's face turned blue and purple. Wasn't this a blatant statement that Hogwarts was not worthy of Sir Granger's favor?

But he was just an assistant teacher, and the other party was the principal of Durmstrang. If he really wanted to argue, he would obviously be a little offended and disrespectful.

He was furious, and he could only swear secretly that he would slap Karkaroff's face with his strength after the exhibition started!

However, just as Karkaroff turned to leave, Deveraux suddenly spoke, his voice was not loud, but every word was clear, like throwing a stone and stirring up a circle of ripples.

The other teams around looked over.

"The main ingredients of the human body transformation potion are mandrake juice, dragon blood and an immature psychedelic flower petal, right?"

Karkaroff's footsteps suddenly stopped, turned around, and the expression on his face froze instantly.

He stared straight at Deveraux, with an incredible shock and vigilance in his eyes, as if all his disguises were stripped off in public.

"The mandrake juice needs to be soaked in the rhizomes of daffodils for three days, and then dragon blood is added after purification. Stir over slow fire, and then add the powder of psychedelic petals... Oh, by the way, the key to this step is to use psychedelic petals picked under the moonlight to ensure the maximum efficacy, right? It's really easy to guess."

Deverot spoke slowly, his tone was as calm as if he was talking about the weather, but every word stabbed into Karkaroff's heart like a knife.

Karkaroff's face turned pale, he subconsciously clenched his robe, and his voice trembled a little.

"Shut up! This formula is absolutely confidential, you...how did you know it? Who leaked the news to you!!"

Deverot raised his eyebrows slightly, with a sneer on his face.

"What swill formula is also leaked?"
