The Big Boss Behind Hogwarts

Chapter 94 Race with Nicolas May

"Okay," Nicolas May sighed a long time, "We know you have your own ideas, and you have many ways."

"But!" He fanned the plan in his hand like a fan, "Now that I have seen the plan for the wand set, and have grasped the idea of ​​the wand set, how long do you think it will take me to make it?"

Moriarty suddenly noticed that the old man in front of him had turned into a shrewd businessman, "So, we are competitors now?"

"Of course." Nicolas said with a smile, "I have lived a boring and boring life for hundreds of years. It is rare to encounter an interesting thing today. I have no reason to give up the opportunity to enjoy it."

"You seem to be sure of winning. But I'm not bad, and you know the gap between us very well." Moriarty pointed.

"If you mean the convenience provided by the British Ministry of Magic, the supply channels provided by the pure-blood family, and the help provided by Ollivander and Sgraghorn...it is not a problem for me." Nicole May walked slowly on the podium, and a long-silent aura emanated from his steps, making Moriarty focus.

Nicole May paused, stretched out an index finger to Moriarty, and shook it gently, with a meaningful smile on his face: "As long as I say a word, people from all walks of life and even the entire French magic world will be at my disposal, There are many more people who are willing to be arranged by me."

An intense self-confidence emanated from Nicolas May's every move. Who hasn't been a teenager?

Perenelle seemed to have seen the high spirits of Nicolas May when he was two hundred years old.

It was at the time of the Great Geographical Discovery in the 16th century. In the Muggle world, European powers developed overseas colonies. During this period, Nicolas Flamel traveled around the world, gained a lot of wealth, accumulated rich experience, and lost countless lives. not come.

Perenelle thought that Nicolas May would never show his edge again in this life, but he didn't expect that Nicolas May would be serious in front of Moriarty today!

However, Moriarty was not intimidated by Nicolas May's aura, he smiled calmly: "I don't mean our connections, but our talents!"

"Talent?" Dumbledore finally spoke. He didn't say a word before, but now he suddenly became interested: "It's really an interesting statement, why don't we make a bet?"

"bet?"

Nicolas and Moriarty looked at Dumbledore together.

"That's right, whoever makes the wand set first wins!" Dumbledore's eyes shone with an indescribable light.

"I disagree!" Perenelle's voice raised a few degrees, "Nico has the support of the French magic community behind him, and Moriarty has the support of the British magic community behind him. Once the two of them make a bet, they will not Good for the diplomacy of wizards in both countries."

"I think the two of them can drive the development of the magic circles of the two countries, and can also handle the relationship between the two countries well." Dumbledore pointed out this point.

"Okay," Nicolas made a decision: "I'm willing to make this bet with you, Moriarty! What's your opinion?"

"Nico—" Perenelle said displeasedly: "It is a bad thing that the French magic world is opposed to the British magic world!

We are now professors at Hogwarts, and we were once students and professors at Beauxbatons. What should students do if two schools of magic are caught in the middle? What do they think? "

"These are not problems," Moriarty said, with a firm tone: "The two professors agreed to come to Hogwarts to teach because of the space magic circle. will change.

As for the attitude of the students, this is a challenge as well as an opportunity - as the news of our bet spreads, more people will pay attention and be willing to learn about alchemy, which is a good thing. "

"Very good," Nicole May said with a smile, "I'm glad we can agree on this point, that is to say, you agree?"

Moriarty nodded, and Nicolas immediately stretched out his right hand: "If I win, it's still what I said before—you have to learn from me and use your talent to contribute to alchemy."

Dumbledore's eyelids twitched, he didn't seem to have mentioned this before.

Moriarty also extended his right hand: "If I win you, you must continue to use the elixir and assist me in making the next alchemy prop."

The corner of Dumbledore's mouth twitched, good guy, you are more ruthless.

But Moriarty and Nicolas said at the same time: "Deal!"

"Snapped!"

The two hands clapped heavily, and the bet was established!

Nicole May took out a strange pen from the pile of alchemy props covered in black cloth, and Perenelle thoughtfully took out the parchment for him, and Nicole May began to write dozens of letters at the same time!

Moriarty also had a solemn expression on his face, before leaving he did not forget to tease: "Racing every second, Professor!"

Nicole May replied without raising her head: "Race for the second!"

Dumbledore and Perenelle shook their heads amusedly as they watched Nicolas May's anxious look and Moriarty's back leaving the secret room.

"You knew it a long time ago, Dumbledore," Perenelle said lightly, "Moriarty will not agree to our request."

"If you had made a bet with him early in the morning, he would definitely agree." Dumbledore said with deep eyes, "Now I'm looking forward to it, the unknown fate, how wonderful it is."

After Moriarty walked out of the secret room, he came to the Room of Requirement immediately, and he also began to write letters, to Lockhart, to Old Flint, to the pure-blood family, to his classmates and followers... …

As one letter after another was sent to various places by the owl, just after noon, the details of the bet between Moriarty and Nicolas May became known to everyone.

Tonks, Marcus, Lilith, Leon, Jericho, and Penello are invited to the Room of Requirement.

Jericho's first words when he saw Moriarty were: "It's cool to bet against the greatest alchemist of six centuries, sir!"

He swept away the irritability in the alchemy class and said with great interest, "We have to do something! We have to act! Sir, what do you need us to do?"

"In fact, I really need you to do a lot of things," Moriarty quickly assigned the task: "Tonks, you stay as my assistant, we still start with the condensed rune.

Marcus, I will leave the letters from the Ministry of Pure Blood and Magic to you, find out who are still willing to support me-I want to see how they treat me after learning that Nicolas May refuses to cooperate .

Leon, I want you to collect information on the students' wands.

Jericho, write a letter to your father asking for his help in collecting information on the Wand of the American Wizard.

Lilith, take your people to Hogsmeade, I have asked Mr. Ollivander to go to Hogsmeade with his research materials on wands, and Sgrahorne and Lockhart will also be in the near future To Hogsmeade, I hope you can be the communication bridge between Hogwarts and Hogsmeade.

——If you don’t know how to get to the secret passage, Leon! Send someone to take her there. "

The people who were named took action. Penelope opened her eyes excitedly as she watched everyone's busy scene. At the same time, she felt a little dazed. She was called by Moriarty for the first time, and she was a little at a loss.

"Oh, Penelope Crivat!" Moriarty seemed to be thinking of her, "Well...let me think about it, you just stay by my side for now, and I'll trouble you if there's anything else to do."

"No trouble, no trouble." Penello said hurriedly, but Moriarty had already left. He went back to the dormitory and found a lot of potions, and found several potions that boosted brainpower and replenished spirits Gudu Gudu drank it down.

Don't look at his calm appearance on the surface, and even dare to point out the gap between Nicolas Flamel and him, but he is not sure in his heart!

"Talent, talent!" Moriarty rubbed his temples, and for the first time an anxious look appeared on his face: "Think quickly, think quickly! There must be some way to bypass formulas and runes and directly achieve the shape I want Status! Just like those alchemy props of Nicolas, it is impossible for them to be made by Nicolas after a lot of trial and error, there must be some way!

what is it What exactly is it? Occult? mystery? Magic month, three-state transformation..."

Moriarty repeated a few academic terms and walked out of the dormitory. The little snake in the common room was terrified when he saw him, and hurried to tell Si Jiao.

Before Sculpture could reach the common room, he met Dumbledore, who was accompanying the twelve school managers to the Slytherin dungeon, and behind them was a large group of Ministry of Magic officials and reporters!

It turned out that after the pure-blood family received Moriarty's letter, Lucius and the school directors decided to publicize the VAM to everyone. They joined forces with the directors of the Daily Prophet to launch a marketing campaign. .

In just a few hours, wizards in the British magic world were incited, and they all expressed their support for Moriarty's bet against the French!

The Ministry of Magic saw that the voice was getting louder and louder, and had to officially express its position through the "Daily Prophet", representing the British magic community to support Moriarty.

For Dumbledore, this scene was something he was happy to see, so he readily agreed to the school trustees, representatives of the Ministry of Magic, and representatives of the press to meet Moriarty.

Of course, it's not an interview, it's just an expression of support for Moriarty on behalf of the British wizarding community, that's all.

After Moriarty learned the ins and outs, he secretly thought something was wrong, what is nothing more than that?

Originally, his bet with Nicolas was at a disadvantage. It was only a matter of time before Nicolas would develop the wand set, and Moriarty not only had to ensure the success of the research and development, but also shortened this time to ensure victory.

So what he lacks the most is time!

But now?

Although he had thought that this would cause a sensation before agreeing to the bet, the sensation came too fast—the whole of Britain knew about it before the afternoon Defense Against the Dark Arts class even started!

Then it's not far from the French magic world knowing about it.

Damn pure blood! Moriarty gave Lucius a sneaky look. The pure-blood family made a lot of money this time, but they accidentally tricked Moriarty.

Sure enough, the system's icy voice sounded: "It is detected that the host's current actions are extremely detrimental to the ultimate mission. Please ask the host to calm down the heat of the incident immediately, and reduce the attention of the magic circles of the two countries to the host."
