Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 819: Outstanding skills

Chapter 819: Outperforming others with skills

Albert was quite satisfied with this meal, most of which were Spanish-style delicacies.

Among them, there is also the cold soup "Andalusia" that Bard believes should not be missed when visiting Spain in the summer.

 What surprised Albert the most was the Spanish paella.

Rice is definitely very rare in Europe.

 European countries where rice is the staple food can be counted on one finger, but it is undeniable that Spanish paella tastes really great and amazing.

 After the meal, there is Spanish famous custard dessert.

Well, it’s actually just pudding, and it tastes great.

The bartender also recommended Spain’s famous fruit wine to them.

However, Albert had no intention of drinking. After dinner, he was going to go back to his room to rest, and chatted with Isobel about his experiences in Spain.

Just as he was about to get up and go upstairs to rest, the noisy bar suddenly gradually became quiet. Everyone looked at the stage together, as if there was a concert.

"Tonight, Yanila will sing three songs in the tavern. She is the most famous female singer in the Spanish magic world and has many fans in the international magic world." Bud introduced the person on the stage to Albert. A sweet-looking blonde girl, "She is also the daughter of the owner of this bar."

It is undeniable that Yanila is a very beautiful blond girl, and she looks very young, and her singing voice is very sweet, but in Albert's opinion, it is just like that. After all, there are many beauties among the girls he knows. To the so-called beauties, More or less immune.

However, after the song ended, Albert found that all his attention was focused on the singer, and he felt an inexplicable sense of joy in his heart when he listened to the other person singing.

 “Something weird.”

Albert couldn’t help but frown, looking around, and found that the audience who were immersed in the song were unwilling to stop singing.

 “Charm magic?”

The expression on Albert's face became more and more strange. He looked at the **** the stage again. Could it be the ability of a vampire, or that this vampire lady actually has some Veela blood?

However, this is also quite remarkable. She can integrate charm magic into songs and give the music a hypnotic charm. It is no wonder that Miss Yanila can become a famous singer.

 After three songs, Yanila left. However, there was a brief uproar in the pub, with people reluctant to let the songstress leave.

"Isn't it great?" Bud winked at Albert, "She will be a special guest and present a trophy to the winner of Barnabus Finkley's Excellent Spellcasting Competition. By the way, I forgot to tell you. Well, winning the championship does not mean winning the gold medal. Even if you win the championship, you still need to show amazing spell casting skills to be recognized by the judges and win the final gold medal."

Albert raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there any difference?"

“The championship award will receive a gold-plated trophy and a bonus, while the gold award will receive an exquisite solid gold medal. The latter is more valuable and will be recorded forever.”

Albert couldn’t help but doubt that anyone would be willing to participate in such a competition, and “That’s not what you said last time!”

At this moment, Albert found that his panel task finally had some movement. He quickly opened the panel to check the new task he had been waiting for for a long time. His expression suddenly became very exciting. What the **** is "superior in skills".

 Task: Surpass the crowd with skills.

The Barnabus Finkley Award for Excellence in Spellcasting is an international award that attracts widespread attention among wizards. It is rumored that the wizard who can win the Barnabus Finkley Gold Medal for Excellence in Spellcasting will become a great person in the near future. wizard. Now you plan to take part in it, so use your wonderful spell-casting skills to win the final championship, pass the review of the judges, and gain everyone's approval.

Reward: 10,000 experience, 1 skill point, 1 gold medal, mastering your own spell-casting technique, Yanila's favorability +20, reputation in the magic world +1,000.

Although the name of the mission is a bit strange, the mission rewards are very rich, and the mission seems to mean that you can master your own spell-casting techniques?

  Could it be that he secretly replaced Voldemort's spell casting method with his own?

 This is possible, after all, everyone will only think that it is his method of casting spells.

But what’s the matter with Yanila’s favorability +20?

"Is it the so-called beauties who love heroes?" Albert wanted to vomit.

 “What are you thinking about?” Bud asked doubtfully.

"There seems to be something wrong with Miss Yanila's singing voice." Albert lowered his voice and said, "It feels like... a Veela."

He moved his lower lip slightly and said in a voice that only two people could hear.

“It is said that her father is a quarter of Veela blood.” Bud casually helped Albert answer his doubts.

 Albert: “…”

 How come you know everything?

However, it is undeniable that Miss Yanila’s singing voice is indeed very beautiful.

Albert thought for a while and asked: "Can I get her record? I want to take one back as a gift."

 In fact, he was very curious whether Miss Yanila's records still had the charm of her live singing, and he couldn't go back empty-handed after a trip to Spain.

“As long as you win the championship, Yanila will give you a set of her autographed records.”

 “Is it worth it?” Albert suddenly asked.

“It should be quite valuable. After all, it is very commemorative.” If Bud knew that the guy opposite was considering how much this set of records could sell for, he would definitely regret what he just said.

"By the way, there's something I'm curious about." Before Albert went back to rest, he asked his inner doubts, "How does the organizer solve the problem of exchanges between wizards from various countries."

 When organizing international competitions, communication is often a big problem.

"It is said that the owner of the bar speaks more than ten foreign languages. Most translation problems are solved by the owner of this bar. This is one of the reasons why the competition is held here." Bud took a sip of whiskey and didn't know why. The expression he looked at Albert was a little complicated.

 “It’s amazing.” Albert couldn’t help but sigh.

This is the real master of language.

Rather than a parallel import like him that uses panel skills.

“Don’t you master many languages ​​yourself?” Bud was a little puzzled, but he knew that Albert was proficient in various languages.

"Oh, really?"

 A voice interrupted the chat between the two, and Diana came over with a glass of fruit wine, looking at Albert with the same scrutiny.

“Bud says you are a great genius.” Diana said in French, as if to test whether Albert had mastered multiple languages.

"Mr. Bard is a very great genius." Albert ignored the words and directly turned the topic to Bard.

"He is indeed a genius. He has also won the Barnabus Finkley Gold Medal for Excellent Spellcasting Techniques before." Diana glanced at Bard and changed the language again, this time to German.

“Well, he told me about it, and I admire him very much.” Albert stared into Diana’s eyes and answered in German as well.

"He seems to be taking you on his old path, but you are younger than he was back then." Diana changed the language again, this time it was Russian.

Just as Albert was about to speak, Diana changed her language and continued, "If you can win the gold medal, I will introduce you to my daughter Yanila, um, the girl who just held the concert , she is the same age as you."

“Ahem, I have a girlfriend.” Albert cleared his throat and reminded.

“I’m just introducing you to him.” Diana nodded with satisfaction, “Go hard. Since Bud thinks so highly of you, I believe it’s not difficult for you to win the gold medal.”

 After Diana walked away, Albert looked back at Bud and asked with a strange expression, "Your daughter?"

The expression on Bud's face was also extremely strange, as if he was recalling some unfamiliar past events.

  “Not really.”

 What does it mean to not count?

Albert is sure that Diana is Bud's daughter. He secretly used Legilimency, and the hint that Diana just made is already obvious.
