The Old Brother of Earth and Wood
Enjoying French cuisine in a side room of Beauxbatons.
Lucien checked the loan information for the earth elemental runes:
[Loan: Advanced Elemental Earth Pattern]
[Repayment period: 30 days]
[Loan Details: Obtain advanced earth elemental runes, increase the host's affinity for earth, increase the speed of learning earth magic, and increase the power of earth magic by 50%]
[Loan Task: Improve Beauxbatons ' Fountain of Fair Fortune]
Using consciousness to communicate with the system:
Are there specific standards for the improvement?
[No, it's designed entirely according to the host's preferences. The system will ultimately determine whether the improvements meet the loan requirements.]
Upon receiving the system's reply, Lucien immediately sensed something was wrong.
Now the system has become the client, and the kind of client that hasn't given any clear requirements.
Earth element magic runes it is, I guess. I'm starting to sound more and more like a civil engineer, coming up with a design only to find the client isn't satisfied, so I have to scrap it and start over, only to discover in the end that the first version was the best...
It was also said that there was a 30-day repayment period, but Lucien only stayed in Beauxbatons for half a month, which was half the time.
Well, after taking out this loan, I'll have two advanced magic runes for water and earth elements, which will increase my affinity with the two basic elements, and I should be able to do Alchemy much better.
You can also write to Professor Nicolas and ask him directly about the core principles of the Fountain of Fair Fortune, which can save a lot of time.
With the addition of SS+ alchemy talent, that's enough.
Lucien finally asked the system one last question:
"System, we've known each other for so many years, you wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for the 'engineering plan,' would you?"
[Hehe ( ͡°з ͡°)]
"..."
[This system is designed to help the host learn more knowledge, so please don't worry about the system doing anything malicious (๑•́ ω •̀๑)]
Lucien thought that was for the best, and immediately applied for a loan.
[Ding! Loan application successful!]
[Review: You've improved the Fountain of Fair Fortune; many girls will thank you!]
Another system evaluation like this, so occasionally out of tune, made Lucien's lips twitch slightly.
He also recalled the requests some of his female classmates had made before he left Hogwarts, asking him to bring back some Fountain of Fair Fortune. Although the reasons varied, their true intentions were all obvious.
Lucien thought it would be a good opportunity to improve the Fountain of Fair Fortune and also to develop some magical potions and alchemical items for beauty and skincare.
Well, I've promised several people I'd bring back water from the Fountain of Fair Fortune. Since I'm going to try and modify Fountain of Fair Fortune myself anyway, once I understand the principles and structure of this magical fountain, I might as well replicate it when I get back to Hogwarts...
After finishing the meal.
Maxime informed them that during the two weeks of the exchange, Lucien and Riemann could choose to follow Beauxbatons ' courses.
Lucien was naturally delighted with this, as he was genuinely curious about the teaching standards of other magic schools.
However, he immediately realized a problem: Beauxbatons ' Alchemy Class started earlier, and third-year students could take it.
Should I discuss with Madame Maxime about going to a higher grade and taking classes with her?
Unsurprisingly, of all the courses at Beauxbatons, Lucien was most interested in their Alchemy Class.
In fact, most of the students who could participate in this Alchemy Exchange Tournament should be in fifth or sixth grade, but Lucien is only in second grade, which is indeed an "unexpected" situation.
Lucien was considering trying to improve the Fountain of Fair Fortune, but he needed to get Maxime's approval first, as the principal of Beauxbatons. He might as well ask him at the same time.
