Chapter 815 Alchemy

The three of them walked along the passage under the fountain for almost twenty minutes, and Kyle felt as if he had passed through the entire Beauxbatons.

But the strange thing is that the water above them always exists, as if several people have been swirling around the fountain.

Until Kyle saw a beam of light that was completely different from the one in the passage... It was a golden door, shining brightly under the light.

Fleur, who was walking at the front, held the door handle and pushed it gently.

"I was just thinking about who would break into the secret passage of the fountain, but I didn't expect that it was you who came back."

Ms. Maxim's voice came from the other side of the door, "What, what do you want from me at school?"

"Long time no see, Ms. Maxim." Fleur said, "But this time it's not me who wants to come here, it's him..."

Fleur turned sideways, allowing Kyle and Connor to step out of the passage.

"It's you?"

Ms. Maxim also seemed a little surprised to see Kyle, as if she didn't expect to meet him here.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Maxim." Kyle said politely, looking up at the Beauxbatons principal who was taller than both of him.

He has grown a lot in recent years, but there seems to be no change when he looks at Ms. Maxim, and he still has to raise his head hard.

"Welcome." Ms. Maxim came over, "Welcome to you too, beautiful lady, I think your name is Connor Prince."

"Yes, Ms. Maxim." Kangna bowed gracefully, "I didn't expect you to still remember me."

"I don't remember, but I'm very impressed." Ms. Maxim said, "Are you interested in working at Beauxbatons? We have always been short of excellent potions professors."

Kangna was a little flattered and subconsciously looked at Kyle.

"It doesn't matter, you don't have to answer me now, just know that the door here will always be open for you." Ms. Maxim said with a smile without making Kang Na too embarrassed.

Then she looked at Kyle again and said with a joyful tone, "Have you finally figured out that you want to come to Beauxbatons? I would say this is the most suitable place for you. There is no future in Hogwarts." ”

"I may disappoint you. I haven't thought about it that much for the time being." Kyle smiled, "I just took advantage of my vacation this time to come to visit as a guest."

"On vacation?" Ms. Maxim asked doubtfully, "The trouble you had was solved so quickly...didn't you hear Albus say that?"

"No." Kyle shook his head, "It's just been put on hold temporarily for some reasons. The Death Eaters have been quiet recently. Before figuring out their conspiracy, it's rare to have some free time.

"But there are professionals doing this kind of thing, so I can't help."

"That's right." Ms. Maxim nodded. "Various situations will indeed arise in war. It's good to relax appropriately. Being tense all the time will make it easier to make mistakes."

"That's what I thought too," Kyle said with a smile.

"Then go ahead and visit, I'll let Fleur..." She glanced at the girl next to her, seemed to have thought of something, shook her head and said, "Forget it, let Gabrielle take you to visit, lest you be exposed to her... Crazy suitor bears grudge."

"Will you be resented just for following me?" Kang Na was a little surprised, "Isn't it a bit too exaggerated?"

"If you are half Veela, you will know that this is not something difficult to understand." Fleur said nonchalantly.

"Indeed." Kyle nodded.

The inherent charm of Veela is like a perfume made from a love potion, causing people to do some incomprehensible actions unconsciously.

This is also the reason why she will cover her face with a hat in public. After all, it is not as safe as school outside, and Fleur is not strong enough to deal with all the troubles.

"But Gabrielle seems to be your sister." Kyle asked: "Is she different from you?"

"She is still young." Fleur explained, "and she has more wizard blood, so it won't have much influence."

"And her English is the best here."

"There is no need to elaborate on this." Kyle laughed dryly, "Actually, there is no need to make it so troublesome. I won't stay here for a long time. I will go back in half a day at most. Is it possible that they can still pursue me? Going to England?"

"I'm not worried about you..." Ms. Maxim glanced at Kyle lightly, "I'm worried about my students."

"What does it mean."

"Is it difficult to understand?" She chuckled: "Although I am in France, I have paid special attention to your deeds and actions... How should I put it, I don't want my students to faint or break their bones for no reason. A leg or something.”

"There must be some misunderstanding," Kyle said.

But before he could explain, Ms. Maxim continued:

"In addition, when I chatted with Mr. Flamel again, his evaluation of you was the same as mine. He thought that you were not as...kind as you appeared."

"Of course, I'm not belittling you." Ms. Maxim went around to the table on the side, took out a few standard-sized teacups, and with a click of her finger, they were immediately filled with tea.

She pinched the tea cup like a piece of popcorn and placed them in front of Kyle and Connor.

"In the magical world, kindness is a rare and beautiful quality, but if a wizard only has kindness, then he will become an extremely stupid fool. Likewise, I will not let such a person enter Beauxbatons."

Kyle didn't speak, just took a sip of tea silently.

French wizards would still enjoy it, and even he could taste it. It tasted much better than the ordinary stuff he drank at Dumbledore's.

After the two of them finished drinking tea, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Gabriel should be here." Ms. Maxime motioned to Fleur to open the door.

"Ms. Maxim, the magic mirror said you were looking for me...sister, why are you here?"

There was indeed Gabriel Delacour outside the door. She looked much taller than before, and her appearance was more elegant and refined. She seemed to be chasing after her sister.

But yes, the last time I saw Gabri was at the Triwizard Tournament. At that time, she was just a freshman. Now, she should be in the fourth grade.

Gabrielle gave Fleur a tight hug before noticing that Kyle and Connor were here too.

"It's you...Kyle and Connor!" She looked even more excited and screamed: "Are you all coming to work at Beauxbatons?"

Subconsciously, Kyle looked at Ms. Maxim.

What kind of principal teaches what kind of students? Why do people in Beauxbatons always want to let them come here?

Ms. Maxim stared straight ahead, choosing to turn a blind eye to Kyle's gaze... This was not difficult for her.

"Gabriel, what classes do you have this afternoon?" she asked.

"A History of Magic."

"Ask for leave. With your grades in this course, it shouldn't matter if you miss one class." Ms. Maxim said, "Take the two of you to visit Beauxbatons in the afternoon and try your best to make them happy." Learn more about the heritage and great atmosphere here. ”

"I understand, Ms. Maxim, leave it to me." Gabrielle said seriously, as if she had accepted an important task.

Of course, Kyle knew the meaning behind their conversation. He just wanted them to like this place and stay.

Ms. Maxim had no intention of hiding her thoughts, and Kyle pretended not to hear anything. After putting the teacup back to its place, he and Kangna stood up and followed the excited Gabrielle out of the room.

"What a surprise. I didn't expect you to come to France... and also to Beauxbatons."

Gabrielle was very excited all the way and chirped:

"I'm telling you, Beauxbatons is really the best wizarding school in the world, better than Hogwarts...

"Sorry, I mean I think it's better than Hogwarts. The castle there is too dark. Even in the daytime, some places need to be illuminated with torches, but there is no such trouble here."

"It doesn't matter, it's a fact," Kyle said.

Hogwarts is indeed a bit dark due to the structure of the castle, but to a certain extent, this can be regarded as a characteristic.

And Beauxbatons...

Kyle raised his head. The ceiling here was like a huge piece of glass. The sunlight could illuminate almost every wall with exquisite reliefs, neat floor tiles, and the students' fashionable blue silk uniforms.

I have to say that, at least visually, this place is much better than Hogwarts, especially when the sun is shining, my mood becomes much better when I walk here.

No wonder France has not produced any dark wizards. Perhaps it has something to do with the bright campus environment of Beauxbatons.

"I'm really happy today." Gabrielle continued walking forward, "I always thought I would have to wait until my sister's wedding to see you again."

"Your sister's wedding?" Kyle raised his eyebrows.

"It's that Bill Weasley...that's his name, right?" She thought for a moment and then said, "Why, don't you know?"

"I know." Kyle said, "But I didn't expect that she would even tell you this."

"It's not just me, our family knows it," Gabriel said. "It's rare for my sister to meet someone she really likes. Our family supports her and is always ready to attend their wedding... this way."

Gabrielle led them through a row of huge pillars that looked like jade carvings, and came to an even more spectacular huge platform.

This place is almost as big as the Great Hall of Hogwarts, and the ground is covered with precise runic symbols.

Above the platform were circles of circular corridors. Kyle counted six floors in total.

"Where are you going to visit first?" Gabrielle turned around and asked, "Let me take you there. There are really many places worth seeing here, and one afternoon may not be enough."

"Then let's go to the alchemy classroom first." Kyle blurted out, as if he had already planned it. "I heard this is the most popular course at Beauxbatons."

"Yes, there are indeed many people who like Professor Victor's class, and so do I." Gabrielle nodded, walked to the platform, cleared her throat, and said in clear French:

"Alchemy Classroom."

The magic text under the three people's feet lit up, and countless stones broke away from the ground and gathered around them, forming a simple elevator to carry them upward.

"Oh, what an amazing design!" Kangna exclaimed.

"It was designed by Mr. Flamel, including the fountain in the square, which was also his handiwork." Gabrielle said proudly, "This is unique and can only be seen in Beauxbatons."

As they were talking, the elevator had already reached the third floor. The original guardrail automatically opened a gap and connected with the elevator, fitting tightly together.

"This way." Gabrielle stretched out her hand, "What you see in front of you is the alchemy classroom, but the class has started now, and Professor Victor has a bad temper, so we can only look at it from the outside.

"But when the get out of class is over, I can ask the professor to take you to the classroom. You are the guests of Principal Maxim, so there will be no problem."

"It doesn't matter, you can look at it from the outside. "

Kyle raised his head.

He swore that he had never seen such a large classroom, which almost occupied one-third of the floor.

Through the windows on both sides, you can clearly see what is happening inside.

The classroom was filled with white smoke. Kyle took two steps forward and vaguely saw that it was coming from a huge brass furnace in the middle of the classroom.

Whenever a student put something into the furnace, this kind of smoke would come out of the gaps around it, mostly white, and also light gray.

But every time this happened, the professor-like man would loudly rebuke the students who put things in.

"Kyle, look here."

At this time, Connor suddenly pulled Kyle's arm, and she pointed to the three eye-catching lines on the classroom door,

"What does this mean? It doesn't seem to be French."

"Oh, this is..." Gabrielle was about to explain when she heard Kyle say:

"When you enter this sect, you must remember: curb your inner greed, follow equivalent exchange, do not cross the realm of God, and prohibit human refining. "

"This is the basic principle of alchemy, and every beginner must know it. "

"Can you understand it?" Gabrielle opened her eyes wide and looked at Kyle in surprise, as if she was looking at a strange animal.

"I don't know what Fleur told you." Kyle rubbed his forehead, "But this is not French, of course I can understand it."

"What is that?" Connor asked in confusion: "Runes? It's a bit like it, but the difference is quite big."

"It's the oldest rune that has never been translated." Kyle explained: "This is a sentence from the Emerald Record, which was copied intact. It's really professional."

"Where did you come from, the Englishman, and he actually came to Beauxbatons and spoke nonsense, as if you had read the Emerald Record."

A weird voice came from behind, "And whether our alchemy class is professional, do you need a British man like you to judge? "

Kyle turned his head subconsciously and saw a few young boys behind them.

The one who was talking and should be the leader immediately looked up and looked at him with indignation when he saw Kyle looking at him.

But Kyle also noticed that his eyes glanced in Gabriel's direction from time to time.

"Jafar, what are you talking about? They are the guests of Principal Maxim." Gabriel said angrily.

But this made the boy seem more excited.

"What guests? Aren't they just two British guys?" The man said disdainfully: "Looking at their appearance, they should have just graduated not long ago. They must be afraid of that dark wizard, so they came to us for refuge. I have seen many such people."

It's just that they spoke in French, which Kyle couldn't understand.

"This kind of plot is too old-fashioned, but it seems inevitable. "He muttered in a low voice.

He could probably guess that this man was definitely Gabriel's admirer, and he came here to show off his presence.

The other party had his face close to him, should he fight? For example, when they went to the classroom together, he showed his superb alchemy skills and shocked the whole audience.

Kyle touched his chin, a little hesitant.

Although this was not his territory, the scene was too classic. If he didn't fight, he always felt that he missed something.

Unfortunately, just when he was hesitating, the bell rang.

"Jafar, go back and copy the "Basic Alchemy Record" thirty times, otherwise you don't have to take my class anymore."

Accompanied by a gentle voice, the boy who was quite stubborn just now suddenly wilted, and even ran away without quibbling.

A middle-aged man walked out of the classroom.

"Professor Victor." Gabriel called sweetly.

"Yeah." The middle-aged man nodded at her, "Have you finished your homework?"

"Can I hand it in tomorrow? "Gabrielle said with a bitter face, "You see, I don't have time this afternoon. Principal Maxim gave me a task."

"Tomorrow afternoon at the latest." Victor said, he looked at Kyle and Connor again, "Who are you and why are you here."

Kyle blinked.

He didn't understand what the professor said, but he guessed that Gabrielle probably introduced herself to him and said hello... Well, it should be right.

"Ah, you too, nice to meet you." Kyle said in French.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Connor covered her face with her hands, pretending not to see the strange expression of Professor Victor.
