Chapter 818 Methods and Rent(1/2)
In the alchemy classroom, Kyle looked at the time turner on the table in a daze.
This thing is so incredible. The time turner that was supposed to be taken away by Dumbledore suddenly came back and was sent to Professor Victor in Beauxbatons.
To be honest, the reason why Kyle came to Beauxbatons was completely impromptu. It was a decision he made only after he came to France.
In addition to Beauxbatons, he may also go to other more famous places, such as the city of Bordeaux and the Magic Opera House, which Cedric strongly recommended.
Nico is also a frequent visitor there, but he still prefers Muggle opera... He believes that Muggles are more pursuing and creative, and wizards are still relatively inferior in this regard.
In addition to the opera house, France also has the Red Hat Wizard Wheezes, a wine bar popular with troubadours and traveling wizards... These are all likely to become Kyle's destinations.
The reason why he chose to come to Beauxbatons was entirely because of what he had seen in the store and Fleur's influence.
In other words, it only took a few hours from the time he made this decision to the time he set off.
Once he makes another choice, or doesn't come to France, will he never see this time turner again?
After all, Victor just said that the envelope was mixed in a pile of failed products. If Kyle hadn't told the truth in time in the end, he might not have even thought of it...
Kyle didn't know what Beauxbatons would do with those failed alchemical products in the end, but they would definitely not be properly arranged somewhere. It would probably be solved by a cleaning spell by then.
"Who sent this thing?" Kyle asked again.
"If I knew, I would have told you right away." Victor put the envelope on the table and spread it out.
Except for Victor's name and address, there is nothing else on it.
"Anyway, this thing has solved our biggest problem at the moment."
Victor didn't care where this thing came from. He put the pocket watch in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"It's so bad that it's like a grape that has been squeezed out of its juice..."
"So does it still work?" Kyle asked nervously.
"It's always possible to repair it." Victor said, "The only problem is that it's a little troublesome and you have to be patient."
"how long it takes?"
"Because I had an experience, if it's quick...a month?" Victor said, he put a pair of brass long glasses on his head.
"I still have some extra materials here, which can help restore it to its original appearance...I was also responsible for it last time, and this process took about three days."
Then, he put two strange-looking mechanical gloves on his hands. There were ten bracket-like structures on them, and a pocket wand almost two inches long was stuck on them... in total, there were twenty wands.
"In the meantime, you need to give Nico this letter...if you can contact him."
"I can." Kyle said quickly.
"Then you write him a letter and ask him to prepare in advance... The key to repairing the time turner is its magic text and the magic stone that serves as the core."
"Philosopher's Stone?" Kyle's heart tightened again.
There are only a few pieces of this thing in history. Can Nico really make another one?
"Don't worry, the Philosopher's Stone is still there." Victor told him good news...or it was barely good news.
"It's just that it's been drained dry, and there's no magic reaction on it at all, otherwise I wouldn't have ignored it.
"But I don't know if it can be repaired... This is not my strong point. I need Nico to think of a way."
"Now, you can go out if you have nothing to do. By the way... remember to tell Olim that the alchemy classes in the past few days will be postponed."
Victor pulled down his long glasses, and his whole temperament suddenly changed. He looked like a sculpture, with no change in emotion at all.
Kyle lowered his voice and silently walked to the door.
As he approached, there was a gap in the magic text on the door, and the door lock automatically opened. When he walked out, the door that was pushed open locked again with a click.
Kyle stood at the door for a while, not hearing any movement inside, and then walked towards Ms. Maxim's office in the direction he came from.
During this period, Kyle also wrote a letter with an automatic quill pen, and by the time he got to the door, he had just finished writing two pieces of parchment.
"Fox..." Kyle said softly.
The phoenix appeared on his shoulder and looked at him with its bright black eyes.
"Send this to Nico." Kyle folded the parchment, "This concerns Professor Dumbledore, so it must be delivered."
Fox nodded, took the parchment in his mouth, and disappeared with a pop.
After Fox left, Kyle went to Principal Beauxbatons' office and conveyed Professor Victor's request to him.
"So you're saying that Professor Victor has to temporarily stop his alchemy class for some reason?"
Ms. Maxim looked at Kyle with a bit of confusion in her tone.
She knew Victor well, he was a person who took classes besides alchemy, and the purpose of his classes was to let many people understand this subject.
Therefore, if there is nothing particularly important, it is impossible for him to ask to suspend the class.
"What on earth did you talk about?" Ms. Maxim asked with squinted eyes, which was quite oppressive considering her height of nearly thirteen feet.
"Because of some special circumstances, but I can't say what they are specifically." Kyle thought for a while and gave up the excuse he had thought of before.
"I can't say..." Ms. Maxim said in a deep voice: "This is Beauxbatons, not Hogwarts. You and our professor are discussing something privately, and this matter may even affect the students' courses...
In this case, you still don’t want me, the principal, to know?”
"I'm sorry, Ms. Maxim, but it's true." Kyle said bravely, "The main thing is that the matter is a bit big and I don't dare to make the decision... If you are willing to wait, Professor Dumbledore will
We will personally come to explain to you and express our sincerity and gratitude.
"Professor Victor really helped us a lot, no one can deny this."
Ms. Maxim was silent. She looked at Kyle, who also raised his head calmly.
He can indeed find any reliable excuse to temporarily fool Ms. Maxim, which is not difficult for him.
But one thing Ms. Maxim is right about is that this is Beauxbatons after all, and it is someone else's territory.
Out of respect, he couldn't do this, otherwise once the lie was discovered, things would end badly. Although he wouldn't fall out on the spot, Maxim would definitely feel uncomfortable.
For now, every ally is precious to Hogwarts, and Kyle doesn't want to leave a grudge in the hearts of both parties because of this incident.
But he couldn't tell the truth, so he had no choice but to use this method.
As for what to do next, that is what Dumbledore has to consider. If he can satisfy Maxim, then everything will be fine.
If he can't come back in the end... there is no point in being an ally or not.
After a few minutes.
"Okay, considering your current situation, I can either leave it alone, or I can make the decision to postpone the subsequent alchemy class." Ms. Maxim said, her aura suddenly dropped, as if nothing had happened just now.
.
"But you must give me an explanation as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Ms. Maxim." Kyle promised: "Professor Dumbledore will come over as soon as there is a result on this matter."
"I believe you for the time being." Ms. Maxim said, "You can go back and rest."
"One more thing." Kyle said a little embarrassedly, "I may have to stay here for a few more days, can you..."
"It's easy. You can stay temporarily in Beauxbatons for as long as you want." Ms. Maxim said with a smile. "If you feel bored, you can just wander around. If you don't know where to go, the training hall is
The busiest place will not affect students’ classes.”
"Thank you, I understand." Kyle said.
"Then go back and rest quickly, he will take you there." Ms. Maxim waved her hand, and a house elf suddenly appeared in the room.
He bent down and stretched out his hand, gesturing for Kyle to follow him.
…
"That's it. I have to wait for Professor Victor's results, so I have to stay here for a while."
At breakfast the next day, Kyle told Kangna what happened.
"Otherwise, I'll ask Furong to take you back first."
"No need." Kangna shook her head and said.
"What about your store?"
"Keep it closed, it's not for making money anyway." Connor said nonchalantly: "And I'm also very interested in Beauxbatons. It's rare that they are so enthusiastic. It's good to experience it more."
"If you like, then let's go together." Kyle said with a smile. It just so happened that in this completely unfamiliar environment, it would not be awkward to have an acquaintance around.
"By the way." Kangna took the second plate of caramel crepes, "Does Hogwarts want to open an alchemy class?"
"No." Kyle said, "Why would you ask that?"
"Because I think your behavior this afternoon is a bit strange." Kangna said, "You asked too carefully, and most of the content has nothing to do with alchemy... No, it should be said that it has nothing to do with alchemy itself, more on...
In this class.”
"Is it so obvious?" Kyle raised his eyebrows.
"It's so obvious." Kangna said, "In fact, it's not just me. When you asked for the third time which book beginners of alchemy should read, Gabrielle also guessed what you were thinking.
"But one thing I don't understand is, since Hogwarts has no plans to open new classes, why are you asking these questions?"
