Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 680: Lion’s big mouth

"...Mr. Hohenheim, it seems that you are also very optimistic about this game."

"Yes, the knowledge left by Mr. Nicole Lemay is naturally precious, and it can even be said to be a gem of the global magic world. But no matter how valuable knowledge is, it is only a pile of knowledge buried under the loess. Mine veins, we need gems, we need talents who can mine and carve them..."

"...So I think that the players who stand out in this game are the real ‘treasures’."

At the dinner table, Maca's conversation with Mr. Hornheim seemed very pleasant.

This wizard, who can be said to have always been at the forefront of global alchemy, also has a very clear focus. He also hopes that Nicole Lemay’s legacy can be applied to all wizards in a more complete, practical and efficient manner, instead of being monopolized by one party or a few forces, and then choosing like the past family system society. Keep it secret.

Of course, it is very difficult to achieve this. He and Maca are very clear.

"Yes! Talent is what everyone needs most..." Mr. Hohenheim nodded and said with a slight emotion, "So I hope that those players who perform well will not be bound by some unnecessary power... "

Through some contact, Maca discovered that although Mr. Hohenheim was full of muscles, he was a man with a rough surface and a delicate heart. He has a thorough view of the current state of the magic world, and he also has a clear view of those forces.

It's a pity that the more you see clearly, the more you feel that you are powerless sometimes. People are always chasing profit. Muggles and wizards are the same, and they will run for their own interests. It is naturally unrealistic to want to change this.

So, in France at that time, Maca and Mrs. Maxime discussed a plan to divide the overall interests.

In this game, on the surface, someone will win the championship, but in fact, it can be said that everyone has a prize. It's just that those who are ranked first can get more shares.

"Mr. Hornheim," Maca raised the goblet and gestured to him, "I invite you over this time to help the players lift those constraints? You are the general judge of this competition. Please take care of it—"

"Hahaha, what bother to say... Isn't this taken for granted?" Hohenheim also raised his glass and smiled heartily, "However, the weight of our Egyptian Alchemy Research Center is not enough. , I’m afraid I’m going to trouble Hogwarts to extend a helping hand!"

Maca clinked glasses with him, then retracted and took another sip, but the corner of his eye swept over the seat next to him inadvertently.

"Oh, that's right." He paused, then continued, "Mr. Hohenheim, I don’t know if Sarah told you—she just won the first grade in the class test not long ago. Good grades! This is amazing, I think you should give her a good compliment..."

"Really?" After hearing this, Hohenheim quickly showed a surprised expression, "Sarah, why didn't you tell Dad?"

"It was just a small test," Sarah beside him smiled quietly, and said with restraint, "Professor McLean is too rewarding, Sarah can't afford it."

"Why did I have a prize? I'm not an exaggeration," Maca followed with a smile, but then changed the conversation. "In addition, Sarah's alchemy is particularly good. Mr. Hohenheim, I think she should Take part in this game...what do you think?"

"Oh?"

The moment Maca said these words, he saw Mr. Hohenheim subconsciously touch Sarah's gaze. Although it was just a touch, he still caught it accurately.

"...Haha, I think, I don’t need to ask me." The opponent said, "Look, I am the judge in chief of this competition, and... Actually, I have always been with her. Leave it to her to decide."

Mr. Hornheim’s laughter was still so bold, but Maca heard a subtle feeling from it. Although he couldn't say exactly what that feeling came from, he knew that this was definitely not a simple answer like "I always leave it to her to decide."

As for Sarah, she didn't respond to Maca's words this time, instead she avoided it by drinking the juice.

"So that's it," Maca saw it and nodded, "Sarah can become as independent as she is now, and it must be inseparable from Mr. Hornheim's cultivation. Well, by the way... Egyptian alchemy What good things are being researched by the Technical Research Center recently? Can you tell me something?"

Just asking what I said just now is enough. If you are too entangled, it will affect the emotions of the other party. After all, they are the general judges this time, and the reason for coming here is just the competition-this event is very important to Hogwarts, and Maca is not a person who does not distinguish between priorities.

"Oh, of course it's okay, actually—"

Maca took the initiative to change the subject, and Hornheim naturally followed the flow. But this time, he couldn't continue his words properly, because a person who interrupted suddenly appeared.

"...wait, you...you can't..." "click."

Because these wizards from the research center are equivalent to judges, in addition to the leader Mr. Hohenheim, the remaining dozens of colleagues will also assist in the judging of the event. Alchemy is not a simple and straightforward thing like Quidditch. By then, every judge will need a team to support it.

So for the sake of fairness, Maca deliberately arranged them to have lunch in another small hall in the castle, instead of letting them go to the side hall of the auditorium with the participating groups.

However, it seems that some people are still unconscious?

But when the door of the small hall was pushed open from the outside, Maca realized that he seemed to be wrong. Because he soon saw that the guy who was still rushing in under Filch's obstruction was not from the delegation.

"McLean, she, they--"

Maca waved his hand to stop Filch from speaking.

"You go out first..." He let Filch leave the small hall first, then frowned slightly, "Ms. Skeeter, I didn't say hello to the editor of the Daily Prophet. The interview time of the judges will be placed at noon the day before the start of the competition-you are not interviewing the delegation in the side hall of the auditorium, what are you doing here?"

Yes, the one who suddenly ran over here was Rita Skeeter, the special correspondent who likes to play tricks and sell clever things in the Daily Prophet.

At the beginning of the three finals, Maca threatened her a little bit to make her more honest. Not to mention anything else, at least she never dared to slander Maca directly, and indeed she rarely appeared in front of Maca.

I don't know what happened to her today, so she dared to break in under Filch's interception so recklessly. If she didn't know that Maca was here in advance, it was absolutely impossible.

"No, no, Mr. McLean, of course I know the scheduled interview time, and I have no plans this time... Look, I didn't even bring the magic camera..." Rita Skeeter tweeted Pushing the eyes on the bridge of the nose, the scarlet lips opened and closed quickly, "Actually...well, Mr. McLean, can you come here first? I have a little thing I want to tell you--"

When she said these words, there was still a very artificial mystery on her face, and she deliberately increased her tone at the end. It can be seen that the "little things" in her mouth are definitely not "small".

From Maca's point of view, the woman was almost writing "I want to make a deal with you" on her face.

But since the other party seems to have some news in his hand, Maca doesn't mind to listen to it. He didn't do this kind of business for the first time. As long as there are enough benefits, it's okay to give others some convenience.

"Mr. Hohenheim, everyone, I'm sorry, let me leave you alone."

After guilty, Maca took Skeeter to the rest area beside the small hall.

"Sit." Maca took the lead to sit down on the sand and signaled that the other person was also seated. Then he waved his hand and said, "Just say what you want!"

"Well, it's like this..." Rita Skeeter pushed the glasses again, and a momentary white light flashed on the glass lens. "If Mr. McLean you are interested in what I will say next. I don’t know if I can..."

"Do you want the judges' priority interview right?" Maca interrupted, "If what you say is really valuable, it will be fine to introduce you to Mr. Hohenheim now."

After all, it is a world-class event. This time, the news media is not limited to the Daily Prophet. It is natural for Skeeter to fight for the right of priority interviews.

However, Skeeter didn't show too much excitement for Maca's promise.

"Of course this is not bad..." She pretended to smile and smiled charmingly, "However, at least I personally think that this information of mine is more than this price!"

"Huh?" Maca raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "Then what price do you want?"

"After the event is over~IndoMTL.com~The exclusive right to obtain materials when Nico LeMay’s estate is public--" Skeeter said, raising an index finger, "On the first day, as long as the first day’s Just fine!"

As far as Rita Skeeter’s lion spoke, Maca didn’t show any expressions of surprise.

The role of the media is undoubtedly immense. It has an immeasurable impact on the promotion of Hogwarts and the fairness and disclosure of the alchemical heritage. But if it's only the first day, it's not impossible to agree.

After all, as the official of the competition, the International Wizarding Federation will also announce relevant documents and information to the magic circles of all countries in the first place. Although not as detailed as the major magic newspapers, the authenticity is beyond doubt.

"You really dare to mention this kind of request," Maca grinned, "Then, let's talk about it now, right?"
