Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 833: The world of adults is really complicated

On the podium of the venue, a famous alchemist, about sixty years old, was speaking in broken English about the slow development and decline of alchemy in recent years. Te's eyelids twitched, and he almost closed his eyes and fell asleep.

This morning, Albert still woke up in the dark. Even after drinking a big cup of strong tea, he still couldn't stop drowsiness and yawned.

Isobel sitting beside him was not much better, and Catherine and Valeria looked like they might fall asleep at any time.

It seems to be to keep himself awake. Many wizards who come to this meeting are whispering and whispering. It is also the middle-aged wizard on stage who uses a microphone to amplify his voice, otherwise he will probably be embarrassed.

"Mr. Sierra, has Professor Dumbledore basically not attended the International Alchemy Conference since he won the Gold Award for Pioneering Contributions at the Cairo International Alchemy Conference?"

In order to keep himself from falling asleep, Albert planned to find someone to chat with, and he also heard something from the words of the middle-aged wizard on stage.

"I don't know. However, in recent decades, I have indeed seen Dumbledore participate in the International Alchemy Congress." Sera is not too surprised. He can actually guess the reason. arrive.

The guy on the stage was drooling over there, talking about how to promote the development of alchemy, but are those words really useful?

In Albert's opinion, the old guys on the stage should bear most of the blame for the decline of alchemy.

Moreover, just nagging over there for a long time, the result is just a bunch of nonsense, the leader does not fulfill his responsibilities well, and does all kinds of disgusting things over there, alchemy will naturally change It's like the ghost it is now.

Especially like to suppress newcomers. Many old and experienced wizards like this kind of shit, but they forget that they are old, and most of them are not able to accept new things. The ability to innovate Not enough.

Without innovation and no enterprising people to pave the way for everyone, the development of alchemy will naturally become very slow.

The group of people on stage are naturally very clear, but sometimes for their own interests, sometimes even if they know it is wrong, someone will do it.

Take Albert's recent Barnabus Finkley Award for Excellence in Spellcasting. Someone shamelessly lodged a formal complaint with the International Confederation of Wizards. If it was replaced by an ordinary wizard, it is estimated that it would be very embarrassing.

There is a saying: Underage wizards are not wizards.

Moreover, Albert is still underage, and underage wizards basically have no right to speak.

It's just that he has a lot of halos on his head, and he just announced the restoration of humanoid spells that will help wizards and werewolves solve their troubles. The Wild Smith family used their contacts to help him get it done, and this matter ended quietly, otherwise God knows what will happen.

While a few people were chatting, several staff members were distributing a new alchemy book to the members in the venue. Obviously, the International Alchemy Conference was not just shouting slogans on the side. related textbooks.

However, after seeing the price of the book, Albert wondered if this group of people were making money by selling the book, because the book is not cheap, at least not as cheap as a textbook.

If you really want to popularize alchemy, the price should at least be cheap.

Although it is undeniable that this book is actually well written, it is basically more formal than the one Albert bought the day before yesterday, but that's all.

I don't know when, the speaker on the stage changed to a wizard who was about fifty years old. This time the topic was the use of alchemy. However, I don't know whether it was because of the lack of preparation or other reasons. The topic he talked about was very fragmented, and he talked for a very short time. It was about a quarter of an hour, which was indeed short compared to the previous one who talked for almost an hour.

Albert felt that what this person probably wanted to express was that alchemy should be made practical and applied to life, not just records on parchment. He believes that when alchemy is better After use, it can better promote the development of alchemy.

However, in the eyes of most people, it is empty talk, because everyone will try their best to turn their alchemy achievements into tangible benefits that can be seen and touched.

After this one finished speaking, there were third, fourth, and fifth place nonsense, everyone's patience was almost exhausted by them, and the organizers themselves seemed to be very Be clear about this. So, the meeting was finally suspended, let everyone have something to eat, and chat with others for a while, and then continue to announce the excellent works that emerged at this year's International Alchemy Conference.

"Ha, so boring, I almost fell asleep." Valeria muttered softly.

Actually, she didn't plan to come to today's meeting, but it was difficult for her to be dragged by Kathleen forcibly this morning.

"Is it boring?" Kathleen asked rhetorically.

"Isn't it boring?" Valeria asked Albert and Isobel.

"It's okay," Albert said.

"What do you mean?" Valeria dissatisfied, "I think you almost fell asleep."

"Actually, if you can understand it, you will actually find it quite interesting." Kathleen said meaningfully.

"Understand what?" Valeria asked suspiciously.

"The shamelessness of adults." Albert stretched out his hand to cover his face and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, I'm the only one here who's not an adult, it's hell. However, those who can witness the shameless faces of those people with their own eyes. Opportunities are actually quite rare."

"Are you trying to imply that we're getting old," Valeria asked, pouting.

At this moment, an elderly man came over.

"Congratulations, Mr. Anderson, you won the Gold Award for Pioneering Contribution at the Cairo International Alchemy Conference." The old man smiled and congratulated Albert, but Albert somehow felt that the old man's smile in front of him was hypocritical , "However, please keep this secret first, and prepare the speeches you need to use when you come to the stage. We hope you can share some of your personal opinions on alchemy and contribute to the development of everyone's thinking."

"I see." Albert nodded to indicate that he knew.

"My name is Richard." The old man didn't seem to intend to leave immediately, but took the initiative to chat with Albert, "Perhaps, you don't know me, but I heard other French colleagues mention you."

"Hello Mr. Charles." Albert raised his brows slightly, as if recalling seeing the name there.

When he saw Isobel pointing at the book in his hand, Albert remembered who it was.

Charles Brick.

The author of the textbook "Development and Research in Modern Alchemy".

""Modern Alchemy Development and Research"?" Albert asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Yes, that's what I wrote, what do you think of that book." Charles was satisfied that Albert recognized him.

"There is no alchemy course at Hogwarts." Albert suddenly said, "Although most wizards have heard of alchemy, they don't know what alchemy is, just like they haven't learned transfiguration. A wizard who learns will mix spells with transfiguration."

Charles raised his eyebrows slightly, but he was still ready to listen to Albert's words. Maybe the other party's words were not compliments, but at least they expressed their views more clearly.

"The Development and Research of Modern Alchemy is too superficial for people who understand alchemy, but it is really difficult for people who have not even started alchemy to understand." Albert simply stated himself The feeling of reading that book.

"Do you think "Modern Alchemy Development and Research" is tasteless?" Charles' expression became a little subtle, "I don't know what advice you have?"

"I suggest you come up with a simpler alchemy book, introduce alchemy to those wizards who don't understand alchemy, lead them to open the door of alchemy, then this book can be placed in the middle, Then, a more difficult alchemy book will be published, which can be regarded as a set of teaching materials.”

"You seem to understand this matter very well." Charles was a little curious, not angry at Albert's words, he was also considering the feasibility of that proposal.

"My girlfriend is currently writing ancient rune textbooks, and I'm helping her sort these things out." Albert said with a smile.

Charles glanced at Isobel, nodded slightly towards Albert and said, "I will consider your suggestion carefully."

Richard has to admit that Albert has a point, because, except in countries around Egypt, many schools don't actually have alchemy classes, even in France, where an alchemist like Nicole Mailer once appeared. , and there is also no alchemy class.

"You don't seem to like him very much." Sera asked with interest, looking at Richard's leaving back.

"He made me feel very hypocritical." Albert commented without hesitation.

"You're right, he's a hypocrite. In fact, most people are hypocritical." Nicholas was not surprised at all, "As long as you have value, they never mind letting themselves Hypocrisy. That guy is also the Honorary Vice President of the Alchemy Research Center, and he helped to write the book "Modern Alchemy Development and Research". Although it looks rather formal, honestly, that book is really average. However, You have to thank him for the gold award for pioneering contributions, they wanted that Aria to win the award."

Several other people were no longer sleepy, and all of a sudden they became curious and came over to listen to the twists and turns of the story.

"That Mr. Richard thinks that your alchemy achievements are valuable and may be used in some places in the future, and Arria's magic messenger is difficult to be widely used. Of course, it is the same as yesterday's. The matter is related, they all realize that you know a lot of famous alchemists, and there are countless dazzling halos on the top of your head, give you the gold award for pioneering contribution to the Cairo International Alchemy Conference, and you can use it as a gimmick for publicity, the most in history. Young winner. Just like your last Barnabus Finkley Award for Distinguished Spellcasting, you can raise the profile of the International Congress of Alchemy."

"Of course, the most important thing is that you are still young, you have investment value, and you are at least a good friend. It is undeniable that if you are like Mr. Richard, you can actually make friends."

"The adult world is really complicated!" Albert couldn't help teasing.

In the afternoon, no one continued to waste everyone's precious time on the stage. They neatly displayed the alchemy results of the twelve participating contestants~IndoMTL.com~Albert came in seventh.

The first contestant was a middle-aged man. He used alchemy to extract and create a small pill similar to a tranquilizer. That thing was not as effective as a tranquilizer, but the pill was easier to store and carry, and it was equally effective. It could be used for For more urgent situations.

The second contestant was a man in his thirties who used alchemy to create a pair of multifunctional glasses that allowed the wearer to see objects clearly in the dark, and was said to have the ability to see through invisibility. However, these technologies have already existed for a long time, and many people do not consider them to be alchemy achievements.

The third is a witch in her mid-thirties. She extracted the essence from the gills and formulated an alchemical potion that is said to allow people to breathe underwater. As a result, many people think that this practice is extremely wasteful of gillaria, and it is completely unnecessary to take off your pants and fart.

The fourth is Aria. His magic messenger is favored by many people, because it seems to be able to transmit information across a long distance, which is very helpful for cross-border communication.

The fifth, sixth, and seventh Albert, his avatar and alchemy results were displayed on the projector, and there were whispers in the audience. The flying ointment is indeed relatively new, but that's all That's it, because this thing doesn't seem to have any use at all at the moment, but there is no doubt that it is useful.

However, most people are concerned not with flying ointment, but about Albert's age, because he is still underage.
