Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 830: Pioneering Contribution Award
Albert felt that not long after he closed his eyes, he was awakened by a hurried knock on the door.
He opened his eyes dazedly, instinctively reached for the wand by the head of the bed, and muttered softly, "What the hell, what time is it?"
Yesterday, Mr. Serra mentioned that he had to get up early today, but he didn't need to be so early. It was still dark outside the window.
He yawned again, and with a slight flick of the wand in his hand, the ball of light escaped from the wand and floated above his head. The soft white light immediately dispelled the darkness in the room.
"What, is it time to leave?" Isobel asked sleepily.
The hurried knock on the door rang again.
Albert glanced at the sight glass on the bed cabinet. The magic alarm didn't respond, indicating that there should be no danger nearby. He replied to the door: "I'm awake, let's go."
Although the sight glass is very unreliable, Albert also has to admit that the sight glass is still useful after all, at least it can provide them with early warning.
It would be even better if the detection and early warning effect of the looking glass could be combined with the footprint spell to make it an early warning radar.
It's a pity that Albert's knowledge in alchemy is limited, and it is still impossible to achieve it. It is sometimes difficult to make magic items too precise.
He stretched, pulled the thin blanket and got out of bed, then covered his yawn again, and started to change his clothes in the drowsiness.
"What are you staring at me for?" After Albert changed his clothes, he found that Isobel was staring at him in a daze.
"Do you need me to change your clothes?"
Speaking, he helped Isobel to get her clothes, and reached out to help her undress
"I knew it was taking advantage of me." Isobel slapped off Albert's paw. She didn't seem to wake up and seemed very tired.
I can't help it. It's hard to fall asleep in a strange place, but I was woken up after a long time. It's very educated to not lose my temper.
"Isn't your advantage already taken away by me?" Albert smiled and walked into the bathroom, ready to brush his teeth and wash his face to wake himself up completely.
As for watching beautiful women change clothes, it's not the first time I've seen them.
"If you're very tired, don't go, just stay in the bar to rest." Albert put his head out of the bathroom and said to Isobel who was changing clothes.
"No need."
After Albert finished washing up, Isobel was also dressed. When they went downstairs together, it was already ten minutes later.
Many people were waiting in the bar, and it wasn't hard to see that most were in a bad mood, yawning and drinking the hot tea the bartender handed them out.
Since the International Alchemy Conference needs to borrow the venue of the Alchemy Research Center, and the entrance of the Alchemy Research Center is located at the Sphinx, the alchemists participating in the International Alchemy Conference must pass in batches to avoid a large number of Wizards appear near the Sphinx to attract the attention of Muggles.
It passed so early, which is actually the reason. After all, the Sphinx is a relatively famous scenic spot.
"Can't you use Apparition to go directly to the location of the International Alchemy Congress?" Valeria drank the hot tea provided to the guests at the bar, and whispered: "Don't they know that lack of sleep is a woman's greatest natural enemy? Is it?"
"It's normal for the Alchemy Research Center to prohibit the use of Apparitions. This is to prevent someone from invading." Catherine is not difficult to understand, just like the Ministry of Magic in most countries also prohibits Apparitions.
"What's the use of that, the wizard's ban on Apparition can't stop the house-elves." Valeria pouted, "However, I doubt what the organizers are thinking. Do you stand there in a group and doze off?"
Yes, due to lack of sleep, most of the contestants are sleepy to death, and they have no mood to participate in any international alchemy conference, and they haven't even eaten breakfast, so they can't compete on an empty stomach.
"There will be enough places for you to sit and rest, and there will be plenty of free food, so you don't have to worry." This is not the first time Nicholas has come to attend the International Alchemy Conference, so he is still confused about the situation here. Calculate to understand.
At this time, a wizard shouted to the crowd: "Everyone who participated in the International Alchemy Conference gathered here, and all the people who participated in the International Alchemy Conference gathered here, come and gather, we're going to set off. ."
"Let's go too!"
Nicholas leads everyone towards the crowd.
They were then quickly told that they had to Apparate in batches.
Albert Six Apparated near the Sphinx, holding hands, and saw light shaking in the darkness.
The desert at night was a bit cold, and Albert was blown away by the cool wind and couldn't help but shuddered.
They walked in the direction of the light source and came to the side of the Sphinx. There was a famous wizard in a cloak. After chatting with Sera, he motioned them to leave the Sphinx. Passing through the flat walls on the side, somewhat similar to the platform nine and three quarters, the interior of the Sphinx is a large hall, and a wizard checks their tickets at the entrance.
He inserted the admission ticket through the back of the golden sphinx statue's head, then pulled it out of the sphinx statue's mouth and handed it to Albert again.
"Okay, please come in, your showcase is No. 51."
The so-called display cabinet is a glass table, a bit like a gold jewelry display cabinet in a previous life. Behind each counter is a staff member of the Alchemy Research Center who is checking Albert's admission ticket and has done After registration, Mandrake and flying ointment are placed in display case 51, alongside a parchment explaining their effects.
"Okay, let's find a place to rest first." Albert stretched out his hand to cover his yawn and led everyone to the rest area on the edge of the hall.
There is also a counter that provides them with free breakfast and drinks, and several house-elves are busy preparing burgers for everyone.
It is to add various fillings to the freshly baked flatbread. Basically, everyone who comes here is nibbling on a pie, and there is a strong fragrance in the air.
While Nicholas was taking a break, he told them some black stuff about the International Alchemy Congress.
Many of the so-called alchemy results in display cabinets are mostly useless semi-finished products, and there are even fake and exaggerated products.
However, everyone acquiesced to this kind of thing, otherwise there would be so many alchemy achievements.
Of course, fake and inferior semi-finished products are not allowed to participate.
It's just that every time there will be a few unlucky people who are exposed by the rookies with the head.
The so-called participation of more than 100 people is bluffing. Everyone just wants to take this opportunity to communicate and make some connections. I am afraid that the number of people who actually participate in the International Alchemy Conference can be counted on ten fingers. The so-called Gold Award for Pioneering Contributions of the Cairo International Alchemy Conference is even more worthless.
If it was 50 years ago, the international alchemy conference was actually quite high, and the competition was fierce every time, but later, as people explored alchemy, the results of alchemy became less and less. , In addition, the benefits of participating in the competition are not worth it, so many people just bring their results to show everyone a little, but do not plan to participate in the competition.
Although the Gold Award for Pioneering Contribution is not available every year, as long as there is no accident, the probability of Albert's flying ointment winning is still very high.
However, Albert himself is not very concerned about this matter, he is checking the new task that has just been triggered.
Medal collectors.
Since you have already participated in the International Alchemy Conference, why don't you get the gold medal easily, although no one wants that thing, but at least he is a medal, which can make you more famous.
Rewards: 5000 experience, 2000 Galleons, alchemy +1, magic world reputation +1000.
I don't think it's as good as the last Barnabus Finkley Award for Excellent Spellcasting, but the medal is actually okay. Alchemy +1 can wait for him to pick up Alchemy to receive it.
However, this quest description is really just like what Nicholas said. Few people are willing to participate. Although 2000 Galleons are a lot, there is still a big gap between the unique business brought by the achievements of alchemy.
"I met a lot of old friends just now and told them about you. Those guys were very curious and wanted to meet you." After Serra came back from shopping, she took Albert to visit Old men who are close to him.
Although Serra meant to let Albert get to know each other, but more often she took him there to show off. When Sera introduced Albert, she seemed to say to them: Look, this is me 's proud disciple.
Looking at the stunned, surprised, envious and admiring eyes of the old men, Sera felt that the bad mood of waking up early was swept away.
"This is Mopsos." Serra introduced a Greek to Albert. "This is Albert Anderson, the descendant of Mog McDougall."
The alchemist named Mopsos was stunned for a moment, then looked at Albert again, nodded at him with a friendly smile, and introduced his son Jason to Albert.
It was a boy who was a few years younger than Albert, and he spoke very poor English, which made Albert very uncomfortable, so he simply chatted with Jason in Greek.
As for Sela's introduction, he probably guessed who the Mopsos in front of him was.
"Your Greek is awesome!" Jason was really taken aback when he found that Albert had switched languages without a trace.
"That group of people is always so good." Mopsos listened to Albert's fluent Greek and recalled that when he first met McDoug, the guy said it very well. Fluent Greek.
"Are you going to train Jason as a successor?" Sera chatted with Mopsos in English.
"Well, Jason is pretty good, and he likes alchemy very much. I'll bring him out now to increase his knowledge." It is naturally impossible for Mopsos to pass the interests of Floo fans to others and train his son to become a Heirs are the best option.
"The one? I remember he seems to be good at potions." Mopsos already remembered who Albert Anderson was.
Cheating at the last Magic School Potions Championship caused a minor stir in Greek magic circles, and this one recently won the Barnabus Finkley Award for Excellence in Spellcasting. Honestly, that award carries more weight than the current Gold Award for Pioneering Contribution.
"He's also good at alchemy," Sera said meaningfully.
"He came to attend the International Alchemy Congress?" Mopsos asked in disbelief with wide-eyed eyes.
"Yeah, and 80% of them will win the Gold Award for Pioneering Contribution." Serra is very confident in Albert, and there are not many young contestants who come to participate. "If you go to the exhibition cabinet 51, you will definitely have unexpected surprises."
After a brief acquaintance, Sera led Albert away, leaving only the stunned Mopsos.
A underage wizard wins three international awards?
It's almost like a dream.
"Who is that man?" Jason asked Mopsos: "He's really good."
"He is indeed a very powerful guy. You will deal with him in the future." Mopsos smiled and said to his son: "Let's go, let's go and see his alchemy results."
"He was in the show?" Jason was even more surprised.
"Yeah, and I'm still planning to participate, so I'm very likely to win the Gold Award for Pioneering Contribution." Mopsos didn't think Sera needed to lie and brag, and the halo on Albert's head seemed to make those brags become bleak.
However, Mopsos found that he still underestimated Albert's ability. The display case No. 51 was crowded with people, especially after seeing the introduction of the bottle of Mandrake, he opened his mouth wide. .
If it really had that effect, no, with that young man's arrogance ~IndoMTL.com~ obviously it wouldn't be fake.
Mopsos felt that maybe it was time for him to chat with the other party. A voice suddenly echoed in the hall, interrupting his thoughts. The one who spoke was Hermes, the president of the Alchemy Research Center.
The old man chatted for an hour there, mainly introducing the International Alchemy Conference and the process of participating in the competition to the contestants from all over the world.
This is an unremarkable old man. He is talking over there, but basically not many people are listening in the whole venue, and everyone is talking.
Actually, as long as you print the process of the International Alchemy Congress on paper and send it to everyone to read, you can also shorten the opening speeches to a few minutes.
I don't know who was the first to start applauding, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief and applauded together.
Then, the International Alchemy Conference officially started. The first session was for alchemists to show their alchemy results, and those who were interested could sign up for the competition.
Of course, the alchemy results that are willing to participate also need to be strictly reviewed by the organizer. Contestants need to register first, then conduct on-site review, and finally provide detailed information, which will be verified by the Alchemy Research Center.
As for who is eligible to win, a panel of judges composed of five professional judges and three veteran alchemists will conduct the final vote.
