Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

After receiving the small gift that Nicolas Flamel left for him, Zhang Xu wanted to go back to the dormitory but was caught by Dumbledore.

After following Dumbledore out of the castle, Zhang Xu learned what Nicolas Flamel had left for Dumbledore through Dumbledore's explanation.

Dumbledore had started planning to make a new means of transportation for the school as early as four years ago after Hogwarts became rich.

Dumbledore, who was rich and willful, naturally wanted to make a vehicle that was (fēng) different (wú) from the others (sāo) (bǐ) compared to other magic schools' vehicles.

It was only during the design stage that Dumbledore discovered that the energy supply of this vehicle was a big problem.

So Dumbledore found Nicolas Flamel, who was still alive at the time, and asked him to help solve this problem.

Nicolas Flamel finally agreed to Dumbledore's request, saving himself from drinking life-sustaining potions while helping to refine a large number of low-end versions of the Philosopher's Stone.

These low-end versions of magic stones cannot be used as life-extending potions, nor can they be used to turn stones into gold. They can only be used as high-efficiency magic batteries.

"After loading all these magic stones, it won't need to use the Thestral to pull it." Dumbledore said to Zhang Dapanda, who was loading pieces of heavy low-profile magic stones into the energy cabin.

The box containing low-level magic stones is naturally enchanted, but it is still very heavy to carry. There are quite a few low-level magic stones in the space that has been expanded with magic. Moreover, the density of these low-end magic stones is not small. The weight of a large piece is almost equal to that of a full gas tank. Because they are rich in magic, the Levitation Charm does not work on them. Therefore, Zhang Xu could only transport and install these low-end magic stones after turning into a giant panda.

It's no wonder why Lao Deng didn't come over in advance to pull back these low-end magic stones. Instead, he drove the flying saucer over and installed it.

"Professor, why does this have to look like a flying saucer?" Zhang Da Panda asked Dumbledore a question he wanted to ask during the day.

Dumbledore replied: "Because this shape is more suitable for using the Thestral to pull it when the magic power is insufficient. After its own magic power is sufficient, its shape can be changed into another shape suitable for flying."

"What does that look like?" Panda Zhang asked curiously.

"You'll find out later after you install all the Philosopher's Stones." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Zhang Da Panda was speechless. It turned out that this guy could transform into a second stage.

More than twenty minutes later, Zhang Dapanda completed the installation of all the low-end magic stones, and put the extra 10% of the low-end magic stones into the warehouse.

After Zhang Xu and Dumbledore stepped out of the flying saucer, they saw Dumbledore casting a spell on the flying saucer.

Under the moonlight, the flying saucer parked on the lawn and reflecting the moonlight slowly began to elongate from a disk shape, and then turned into a... space shuttle.

Regarding this space shuttle with the Hogwarts school emblem on it, Zhang Xu was already very calm and too lazy to complain anymore. It didn't matter even if this guy turned into the Archangel of the Earth United Army.

(ω)つ: "This is for you."

Dumbledore handed Zhang Xu a copper key that was big enough to beat someone to death.

"It can be activated with this key." Dumbledore said to Zhang Xu, "There are two such keys, and the other one is in Minerva's hand."

Zhang Xu nodded and took the key and put it away.

Except for Professor McGonagall, Zhang Xu can naturally think of the reason why Dumbledore gave him a key.

Whether for escape or support, this space shuttle can be used.

"Does it have a name?" Zhang Xu suddenly asked.

"Huh? I haven't considered that," Dumbledore replied.

So Zhang Xu took out his magic wand and gestured at the space shuttle a few times, and a row of words appeared under the nose of the space shuttle.

"AlbusPercivalWulfricBrianDumbledore"

Zhang Xu put away his wand, smiled and said to Dumbledore: "I think this name is good."

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, and then didn't say anything. He accepted Zhang Xu's naming of the space shuttle "Lao Deng".

After all this trouble, Dumbledore and Zhang Xu returned to Beauxbatons Castle.

Before parting, Dumbledore reminded Zhang Xu not to forget to go to the conference room for a meeting at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

Dividing line

At nine o'clock the next morning, after breakfast, Zhang Xu followed Dumbledore to the conference room of Beauxbatons Castle.

Soon after, all eight principals came to the conference room.

Not only did Dumbledore bring Zhang Xu, but the other seven principals also brought the captains of their respective school Quidditch teams.

The topic of today's meeting is to set the general direction for the eight-school Quidditch competition.

As the most prestigious person among the principals, Dumbledore was naturally the first to speak at the meeting.

After Lao Deng said a few polite words, he asked Zhang Xu to present several issues and plans that he had prepared earlier for everyone to discuss.

The first issue Zhang Xu raised was his proposal to personally finance the production of a championship trophy made of nearly ten kilograms of gold and silver for the competition, which was quickly approved by the principals unanimously.

Everyone knows that Zhang Xu is the initiator of the three-school Quidditch competition, and can also be said to be the father of the future eight-school Quidditch competition, so everyone gives him a face.

As for the trophy, which looks like a giant panda riding a broomstick catching a golden snitch, everyone recognized it since it was paid for by Zhang Xu.

Anyway, giant pandas are quite cute.

The second topic is that the competition is officially named the Eight-School Quidditch Championship. The host organization is the Eight-School Quidditch Association. The principals who serve as the chairman of the alliance are arranged according to the founding time of the school.

In addition, relevant provisions for other magic schools to join individually or jointly have been added. The terms for the joint participation of magic schools were proposed by Zhang Xu in order for his country to join the competition in the future. After all, there are too many schools teaching magic in the country, so they can only join together to count one spot, so that everyone is willing to play with you.

The issue took just two minutes to pass. We have communicated these issues privately before, and today we all have a show of hands to decide, which is just a process.

The third issue is the timing of the event. It is initially set to be held every four years, and the season is set as a multi-year event based on the characteristics of each school's academic year. The season of the first competition is set to be the 99/00 season to fill the four-year gap between the two Quidditch World Cups to increase the popularity of the game. .

This means that Zhang Xu and the others will not be able to participate in the first eight-school Quidditch competition, but Zhang Xu does not regret this, after all, he is the prototype of the championship trophy.

The fourth topic is the selection of the competition system. At the meeting, two plans were initially selected: the group stage and the knockout stage, which are divided into two groups. The specific choice of the plan will be discussed later.

However, it seems that the group stage plan is more popular at present, because it will allow each school to participate in more games and avoid the "one game" situation in the knockout rounds.

Related issues such as schedule and home and away games will be discussed later.

The next step is about the opening of the competition, competition sponsors and other issues. However, these issues have mature examples such as the Quidditch League and the Quidditch World Cup that can be used for reference, so we will leave it to the future after the general direction is determined.

This is a conference of unity, victory, encouragement, and progress.

This conference marks a new era of exchanges between magic schools in the world.

At the end of the meeting, just in time for lunch, the participants walked out of the meeting room talking and laughing and walked to Beauxbatons' canteen.

Dumbledore, Mrs. Maxim and Sepp Helberg walked out of the office together and discussed keeping the original three-school Quidditch game as a three-year gap in the eight-school Quidditch Championship. friendly match.

Zhang Xu, on the other hand, had nothing to do, and walked to the cafeteria first with Gabrielle, who was waiting for him near the conference room.
