Chapter XXXTI Moon Festival
"Then let's talk about Chuck.
It seems that the Ouagadou school side really can't wait. ”
"But President, are we really going to help these guys?39
Jones glanced at the man who spoke:
"Why not that?
Isn't the emergence of a new deity a good thing for us?
The more the water mixes, the better we start.
Didn't those people from Ouagadou want us to help him?
Then help! See if their gods can protect them then.
The night of the full moon is the night after tomorrow, and this time there must be no more problems!"
Jones' tone was stern, and he glanced at everyone in the room.
"Yes!
"This time thanks to the Foley boys!"
"Haha is right! Otherwise, you lose! 99
"Don't worry about the next three years!"
It is a huge banquet hall.
Golden crystal lamps hang from the roof.
The walls are carved with beautiful reliefs.
The hall is full of people.
Well-dressed gentlemen whispered to each other.
From time to time, the clashing wine glasses echoed with a crisp sound.
Let the wine in the glass ripple.
Well-cooked steak, golden fried fish, snails, foie gras・
A variety of exquisite food is laid out on a huge long table.
Let people take it.
"Braun, this is Madame Maxim."
"Madame Maxim!"
Braun respectfully greeted the lady, who was at least two meters tall.
Proper manners can't be faulted even by the most critical of etiquette.
"Hello, Braun!"
Madame Maxime replied appreciatively.
"It's a pity that you are not old enough, otherwise we may still be able to see you in this year's Triwizard Tournament."
Madame Maxime said with a little pity.
Braun pretended to be a little surprised.
After all, he had known for a long time that there would be a Triwizard Tournament.
But Mr. Foley was really taken aback by Madame Maxime's words.
But without talking to Madame Maxime for long, Braun was taken by Mr. Foley to meet the others.
As the champion of the junior category this time.
Braun has too many people to socialize.
Although he didn't like this in his heart.
"Mrs. Maxim is the headmaster of Beauxbatons, and to be honest, I didn't expect that she would personally lead the team this time.
And what surprised me the most was the news she brought. 99
He said and glanced at Braun.
"Father, what is the Triwizard Tournament?"
Braun asked feigned confusion.
"Triwizard Tournament..."
Mr. Foley's eyes had some remembrance.
"It was a very old game.
Founded about seven hundred years ago, it is a kind of friendly competition between the three largest magical schools in continental Europe.
The three schools are Hogwarts, Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Choose a warrior at each school and compete in three magic events.
The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years and is generally hosted by the three schools on a rotational basis.
Although there are three magical programs, they are conducted at different times of each school year.
The competition will test the warriors in many different ways.
Test their talents, strengths, guts, theories, reasoning abilities and ability to overcome danger in magic.
The principals of the three schools scored each project based on the quality of each project they completed, and the warrior with the highest overall score in the three projects won.
Since the creation of the Triwizard Tournament.
Almost all wizards agree that this game is a great way to build friendship between young wizards from different countries.
And that's exactly what happened.
This is indeed the best way to build friendships.
The three schools were much closer then than they are now.
But later, there were so many deaths that the Ministry of Magic could not withstand the pressure of parents.
So the Triwizard Tournament was interrupted.
Over the centuries, there have been several attempts to revive the tournament.
For example, when I was in school, I held it once but Durmstrang.
Because I was old enough to go there under the guidance of the principal at the time...
"Father, what is Durmstrang really like?"
Braun couldn't help but ask.
Durmstrang is indeed mysterious.
It is said that no one knows his exact location.
Even the students there.
Braun has not been found in any of the sources.
That's why I'm curious at the moment.
Mr. Foley did not blame Braun for interrupting.
Instead, I seriously thought about it:
"To be honest, I don't know.
We were led by the Headmaster on Hogwarts' Alchemy Fortress. It is Durmstrang through the passage under the Black Lake.
My personal guess is that there should be a passage between the two schools.
Because the time between each other is very short, that is, about four hours and we are there. ""
"Wait father!
What is the Alchemy Castle?"
He had never known that Hogwarts had such a thing.
"Oh, it seems that you don't know yet.
But it's also that thing that doesn't happen once in a few years.
The Alchemy Castle is an alchemical item jointly refined by the four founders.
It is a movable castle.
Of course, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang also have their own different means of transportation.
I told you in Beauxbatons that it was a flying carriage.
Durmstrang, on the other hand, is an ocean-going ship.
If this year is really like Madame Maxime said, the Triwizard Tournament is held.
Then you should see it then. ”
Braun nodded.
Mr. Foley sighed again:
"Unfortunately, there is a prescribed age limit for participants.
In other words, only students over the age of seventeen are allowed to enroll.
Otherwise, if you can participate. You can definitely become a warrior at Hogwarts.
"It's okay not to be able to participate. 99
Braun smiled:
"What honor could compare to the Potions Convention group stage winner?"
Mr. Foley was stunned, and then laughed out loud:
"That's right! What could compare to a champion? 359
"What's so fun?"
0.....ask for flowers.....
Nicole Flamel came over with a smile.
It looks like I'm in a good mood.
As a member of the continent, he certainly hopes that the continent can win the championship.
After all, although living for six hundred years makes him look down on some things, it does not mean that he is not competitive.
On the contrary, the competitive spirit of a powerful wizard like him is even stronger.
"Mr. Flamel."
Mr. Foley said respectfully.
The same goes for Braun.
Flamel waved his hand:
"It's a banquet, there's no need to be so restrained.
And I have to thank you.
Otherwise, the wizards of the European continent will not feel good in the past three years. ""
"Yes, we are also a member of the European continent.
"Well, I'm too restrained to have me in you.
But the game is over.
But we'll have to wait a while before leaving.
Two days later, Ouagadou will host the Moon Festival, a once-in-a-decade event when you finish the show and leave!
After casually mentioning it, Nicolas Flamel staggered away.
0.....0
Until Flamel disappeared from the sight of the two.
Mr. Foley breathed a sigh of relief.
"Father, what are you doing so nervously?"
Braun looked a little puzzled.
"You know a fart, that's Mr. Flamel, how can I not be nervous?
Well, it's not early, and you're not very tired from today's game.
Let's go back as soon as possible.
nodded.
Braun did not refute Mr. Foley's words.
"Good night! Father!"
"Good night!
Braun and Mr. Foley are separated outside the room.
Because the game is over.
So of course the offer for Potions disappeared.
But though it disappeared.
But Braun didn't worry about where to live.
Matthew has other accommodations for Braun and Mr. Foley.
And it should be in recognition of Braun's contribution.
We also specially replaced the original ordinary rooms with more luxurious rooms.
Enter the room.
Braun also took out from his arms the prize he had won today.
That quaint wooden box.
After looking left and right, I found that there was nothing special.
Braun opened it directly.
Inside was a fresh piece of bark.
The bark is spread out, and on it are marks drawn with various odd symbols.
This is Runiven.
It is also a common magic text in ancient times.
"It seems that this thing is indeed old. But this bark is somewhat interesting. 55
Although the bark looks hard, it feels soft to the touch.
And it's fresh, or rather very alive.
If it weren't for the magic texts saying that the bark had just been pulled out of the book, Braun would have believed it.
After experimenting a few times, Braun discovered that the bark would gradually harden if left outside for too long.
But when it is put in a wooden box, it will soften again.
It seems very magical.
"It seems that this wooden box is not so simple either.
There must be some kind of practice in double reverse.
After a few more times.
Braun then focused his attention on the Runiven recorded on the bark.
