Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy - Chapter 458
c352 Learn the language well and travel around the world
At this time, the Christmas holiday has passed for a week, and the New Year of 1994 has quietly arrived.
It was almost a week before ordinary students returned to school for the holidays. Wright initially thought that he was the only one staying in Beauxbatons during the Christmas break, but what he didn’t expect was that Fleur and Gabrielle, a pair of mixed-race Veela, The sisters also stayed at school.
But unlike Wright who stayed in school because there was nothing important to do, Fleur and Gabrielle stayed in school because of very important things.
It would be more accurate to say that Fleur stayed at Beauxbatons because of important things, while Gabrielle stayed at school just because she didn’t want to leave her sister and go home alone.
As for the reason why Fleur gave up her precious Christmas vacation to reunite with her family, it was of course because of the International Alchemy Conference that was about to be held deep in the Sahara Desert!
Wright originally thought that since Fleur was preparing to take the OWLs exam this year, she would not take the trouble to go to Egypt to participate in some alchemy conference, but when others were about to take the OWLs exam, they would dare to go to the UK to participate in the OWLs exam. How could the strong competition for hegemony back down at this time?
Of course, this time she didn’t rely on some magical item, the Goblet of Fire, to become the “Beauxbatons Warrior”. Fleur relied entirely on her alchemy skills to win first place among the students. level, I got the opportunity to go to Egypt.
…. I skip a large group of crying French girls here…
During this Christmas vacation, although Wright did fill out the detention form, what should I say? Filling out the form only guarantees your willingness to stay in school and does not force you to stay in school every day.
So most of the time, Wright would run outside to play, like Chang Chu’s home, Chang Chu’s bedroom (fog), the amusement park in Edinburgh, the cinema in Edinburgh, the cell in Nurmengard, Nurmengard The mountains…
In addition to Hogwarts, Wright even went back to St. Catchpole Village for a stroll. It is precisely because of this that the time he spent in Beauxbatons was pitiful, or almost none. He would only go back to Beauxbatons’ dormitory at night when no one would take him in.
After Fleur got the opportunity to go to Egypt, she had long wanted to plan the trip with Wright, but she almost never found anyone from Wright.
I finally caught him today with the help of my sister, but what did I hear?
Chinese and English? Arabic and Ancient Egyptian?
Since there was ancient Egyptian, shouldn’t current Egyptians speak Egyptian? What is Arabic? I haven’t learned English well yet? And Chinese? Why study that? And I’m going to Egypt in a week. Is it possible to learn so many languages in such a short time?
But looking at Wright’s confident expression, Fleur, who was full of doubts, really didn’t have the confidence to refute his words.
“Sister, why don’t you speak?” Gabrielle tugged at the corner of Fleur’s clothes and asked in a low voice.
Furong glanced at her sister. With her temperament, it was impossible for her to say anything to show weakness to others in front of her sister. In that case, where would the majesty of her eldest sister be?
“Ahem!” Fleur cleared her throat and raised her chin slightly, “It’s nothing, Gabrielle, this little thing is nothing to worry about.”
Gabrielle scratched her hair with her little hands strangely. Why did she feel that her sister had misunderstood something?
Wright closed the “Arabic Dictionary” in his hand and put it into the mok bag on his waist.
Thanks to the photographic memory brought by the shadow energy, he has almost completely memorized this thick “Arabic Dictionary”. Although there may still be some problems with pronunciation, at least in daily communication It is still possible to achieve accessibility in reading and writing.
As for Fleur’s words, Wright didn’t take them to heart.
He still remembered one thing clearly, and that was how the romance between Fleur and Bill happened. It was because in order to improve her English, Fleur found a job at the Gringotts Wizarding Bank in Diagon Alley, and then Bill, who returned to China to work in the Ministry of Magic, took this opportunity to give Fleur a lot of “individual tutoring” “.
As for what “individual counseling” is, only they themselves know.
Although Wright had some experience in teaching English to French people, at that time he was only trying to help Villita. Now he has no interest in teaching Fleur how to learn English.
In Wright’s opinion, if he has this free time, he might as well check to see if the “Analysis of Ancient Egyptian Language” that he ordered by mail from the Egyptian wizard has arrived.
Besides, there are still many similarities between French and English. With Fleur’s talent, since she could barely communicate with the students at Hogwarts after half a year, she can naturally do it now.
As for why you should learn English at the International Alchemy Congress?
Naturally, it’s because English is the most widely spoken language in the world and the third most commonly spoken native language in the world! You can’t expect the wizards who go to the alchemy conference to communicate with wizards from other countries in their own country’s language, right?
As for Arabic, the current official language of Egypt is Arabic; let alone ancient Egyptian. All the pyramid ruins use ancient Egyptian, and they come from six different periods. . If you want to study the pyramids and the alchemical relics inside them carefully, you have to learn their related languages.
“Is there anything else?” Wright stood up from his chair and asked Fleur politely.
Although he felt calm when facing Fleur (?), Wright did not want to lose the most basic etiquette. In any case, he was an exchange student who came here from the UK and represented the student style of Hogwarts.
“No, thank you.” Fleur gritted her teeth and nodded towards Wright. Although she didn’t understand what Wright meant, her family knew about her family affairs, but learning English was enough to give her a headache. It was simply impossible to learn Arabic and Egyptian at the same time.
At this moment, Furong just wanted to shout in her heart: Why is there no language-based alchemy tool that can understand everyone’s words after using it?
Wright nodded casually, smiled at Gabrielle, and then walked straight towards the huge fountain in Beauxbatons Castle.
Today would be the day when he would break off the fingers of that statue of Nicoléme for the fifty-eighth time, just because Nicoléme had a seven-year-old fanboy that Wright did not.
And besides, the statue itself has the ability to repair itself. As long as you don’t put away the finger that was broken off, or take it out of the range of the fountain, it can automatically return to the statue. No one will Discovered the bad things Wright had done.
Being able to vent his anger without being discovered was the best way for Wright to vent his dissatisfaction (jealousy) towards Nicolas Flamel.
Gabrielle sat on the bench and rolled her eyes strangely, then followed Wright and trotted outside: “Wright, wait for me! I want to go to the statue of Mr. Nicoléme too!”
