Advanced Element: Earth Pattern
A system notification sounded in his mind as Lucien gazed at the Fountain of Fair Fortune, which was spouting water.
Seeing a fountain triggered a loan, an earth elemental rune, and it even reached a high level.
Including the previous Thunder Pattern and Water Pattern, this completes the set of three elemental magic patterns.

Earth is one of the four basic elements, and when combined with water element runes, it is estimated to provide a Alchemy.
Hmm, but this loan mission is to improve Beauxbatons ' Fountain of Fair Fortune?
First, I need to understand the principles behind this magical fountain. Writing to Professor Nicolas would be quick, but the Fountain of Fair Fortune is a landmark of Beauxbatons. If I were to transform myself into a civil engineer and modify it, I would definitely need the principal's permission first.
Lucien's gaze drifted toward Madame Maxime, only to find that she was looking at him.
Maxime: "Grafton, you're interested in the Fountain of Fair Fortune?"
Upon hearing this, Lucien admitted it without hesitation. Besides the earth elemental runes that had just been triggered, he had also been very curious about the magical fountain created by Nicolas, and many people had emphasized it before he came to Beauxbatons.
"The water of the Fountain of Fair Fortune possesses magic; it is extremely effective at cleansing impurities, and bathing in it regularly can improve one's skin... Well, this fountain was built by Nicolas Flamel and his wife, and was one of the gifts they gave to Beauxbatons."
When Nicolas Flamel was mentioned, Maxime glanced at Lucien again, seemingly with a hidden meaning.
Lucien listened attentively to the introduction of the Fountain of Fair Fortune, but didn't hear anything about any magical properties that could make one more beautiful or younger.
The rumors about this fountain are exaggerated; the little witches at Hogwarts are going to be disappointed...
Wait, the system requires me to improve the Fountain of Fair Fortune, but what exactly constitutes improvement?
It seems a bit difficult to achieve effects like making people more beautiful and younger...
However, this loan is only a monthly loan, and the difficulty level is not too high.
Not having time to check the specific loan information, Lucien continued to tour the Beauxbatons campus with the group.
They walked and stopped frequently, and led by Madame Maxime, the group headed toward the main hall of the palace complex.
Occasionally, she would encounter a few of Beauxbatons's students, who would immediately stop and greet Maxime respectfully.
Lucien, observing this scene, felt that Beauxbatons ' management must be relatively strict.
The students' postures and even the tone of their greetings were all very standard, as if they had received relevant etiquette training.
The white, smooth stone gate slowly opened, revealing a magnificent and resplendent atmosphere.
Lucien observed the interior environment; sunlight streamed through the windows, making the already magnificent hall even more dazzling.
In mid-air, there were also some little fairies with transparent wings flying around, and tiny sparkling fragments fell from between their wings as they moved.
They arrived at a side hall and sat down at a long table.
"This Triwizard Tournament will last for half a month. We hope everyone will have wonderful memories at Beauxbatons."
"After a long journey, please enjoy some delicious food first."
After a brief introduction, Maxime clapped his hands lightly.
Food suddenly appeared on the plate.
As he savored the food, Lucien thought the students at Beauxbatons were quite fortunate; the exquisite and delicious French cuisine was truly undeniable.
This place still follows the strict order of courses in French cuisine:
Cold appetizers, soup, hot appetizers, fish, main course, hot dishes...
The portion size is naturally very small; you might digest the previous meal in the time it takes to eat it.
However, thanks to the convenience of magic, simply tapping the plate lightly with a spoon after it's empty will instantly produce the next dish.
Lucien ate authentic French food, he couldn't help but think of the school meals at Hogwarts, which were classic Britain "food" like fish and chips every day. Although the ingredients were fresh and the House-elf did their best to cook, it was still monotonous and boring.
Fortunately, I gave the House-elf some advice and taught them some Eastern dishes, which saved the young wizards of Hogwarts their tongues.
