Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 819 Skill overwhelms others

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

  Among them, there is also the cold soup "Andalusia" that Bud thinks you can't miss when you come to Spain in summer.

   What surprised Albert the most was the Spanish paella.

  Rice is definitely very rare in Europe.

  The European countries where rice is the main food can be counted on one finger, but it is undeniable that the taste of Spanish paella is really good and amazing.

   After the meal, there is a famous Spanish custard dessert.

   Well, it’s actually a pudding with a great taste.

  The bar attendant also recommended the famous Spanish fruit wine to them.

  However, Albert didn't plan to drink. After dinner, he was going to go back to his room to rest, and chat with Isobel about what he had seen and heard in Spain.

  When he was about to get up and go upstairs to rest, the noisy bar suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked towards the stage in unison, as if they were about to hold 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." Bard introduced the singer on the stage to Albert. A sweet-looking blonde, "she's also the daughter of the owner of this bar."

It is undeniable that Yanila is a very beautiful blonde girl, and she looks very young, and her singing voice is very sweet, but in Albert's opinion, that is the case. After all, there are many beautiful girls among the girls he knows. Somewhat immune.

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

   "There are oddities."

   Albert frowned involuntarily, looked 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 weird, and he looked at the **** the stage again. Could it be the ability of a vampire, or that this lady vampire actually has some Veela blood?

  However, this is also quite remarkable. Being able to incorporate charm magic into songs, giving the music a hypnotic charm, it is no wonder that Miss Yanila can become a famous singer.

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

"Isn't it great?" Bud winked at Albert, "As a special guest, she will present a trophy to the champion of Barnabus Finkley's excellent spellcasting competition. By the way, I forgot to tell you By the way, winning the championship does not mean winning the gold medal, even if you win the championship, you still need to show amazing spellcasting skills to be recognized by the referees and win the final gold medal."

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

   “The Champion Award is given a gold-plated trophy with a cash prize, while the Gold Award is given a fine solid gold medal, the latter of which is more valuable and will be recorded forever.”

   Albert couldn't help but suspect that there would be people willing to participate in such a competition, and "You didn't say that last time!"

   At this moment, Albert found that his panel task finally had a movement. He quickly opened the panel to check the new task that he had been waiting for for a long time, and his expression suddenly became very exciting.

  Mission: Skill over others.

The Barnabus Finkley Award for Excellent Spellcasting is an international award that has attracted the attention of wizards. It is rumored that any wizard who can win the Barnabus Finkley Gold Award for Excellent Spellcasting will become a great wizard in the near future. wizard. Now you are also planning to participate in it, then use your wonderful spellcasting techniques to win the final championship and pass the review of the referees and get everyone's approval.

  Reward: 10000 experience, 1 skill point, 1 gold medal, mastering your own spellcasting technique, Yanila's favorability +20, reputation in the magic world +1000.

  Although the task name is a bit strange, but the task rewards are very rich, and the meaning of the task seems to be able to master your own spell-casting techniques?

   Could it be that he secretly replaced Voldemort's spellcasting technique with his own?

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

  However, what happened to Yanila's favorability +20?

   "Could it be that the so-called beauties love heroes?" Albert felt like vomiting.

   "What are you thinking?" Bud asked suspiciously.

   "Miss Yanila seems to have a problem with her singing." Albert said in a low voice, "It feels like... a Veela."

  He moved his lower lip slightly, speaking in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

   "It is said that her father has a quarter of Veela blood." Bud casually helped Albert answer the doubts in his heart.

  Albert: "…"

  How do you know everything?

  However, it is undeniable that Miss Yanila's singing voice is really nice.

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

  Actually, 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 when he came to Spain.

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

   "Is it worth it?" Albert asked suddenly.

   "It should be quite valuable, after all, it is very commemorative." If Bud knew that the guy on the other side was thinking about how much this record could sell for, he would definitely regret what he said just now.

   "By the way, there is one thing I'm curious about." Before going back to rest, Albert asked his inner doubts, "How did the organizer solve the problem of communication between wizards from various countries."

  When international competitions are held, communication is often a big problem.

"It is said that the owner of the bar masters more than ten foreign languages, and most of the 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, not knowing why Looking at Albert's expression is a bit complicated.

   "It's amazing." Albert couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

   This is the real master of language.

   Instead of his parallel imports accumulated by using panel skills.

   "Don't you also master many languages?" 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. Diana walked over with a glass of fruit wine, and also looked at Albert with scrutiny.

   "Bud said you are a very remarkable genius." Diana said in French, as if to test whether Albert had mastered multiple languages.

   "Mr. Bard is a very remarkable genius." Albert didn't answer this question, and directly threw the topic on Bard.

   "He is indeed a genius. He has also won the Barnabus Finkley Gold Award for Excellent Spellcasting before." Diana glanced at Bard and changed another language, this time it was German.

   "Well, he mentioned it to me, and I admire him a lot." Albert stared into Diana's eyes and replied in German.

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

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

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

   "It's just an introduction to you." Diana seemed to be nodding in satisfaction and said, "Come on, since Bard is so optimistic about you, I believe it will not be difficult for you to win the gold medal."

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

  The expression on Bard's face was also extremely weird, as if recalling some past events that he didn't quite remember.

   "Not really."

  What does it mean?

  Albert was sure that Diana was Bud's daughter. He had secretly used Legilimency, and Diana's hint just now was already obvious.
