Improved Fountain of Fair Fortune, Activate!
As dusk deepened and the last rays of the sun disappeared behind the mountain ridge, the lights of Beauxbatons gradually came on.
A biting wind was blowing, and there were few pedestrians on the campus paths.
Only the magical streetlights shimmering with a cold light, and groups of icy fairies trailing shimmering tails, outline a tranquil night scene that is completely different from the daytime brilliance.
Phoebe gathered her long, silvery hair and dutifully played the role of guide, leading Lucien on a stroll through the campus and introducing the elegant buildings and landscapes.
"This is the ' Giant Garden '," Phoebe pointed to one side.
Following her directions, Lucien saw a stunning garden.
Everything here seems designed for Giant: in the center of a huge marble fountain, a leaping dolphin sculpture is almost the size of a small house, and the gushing water curtain looks like a flowing crystal screen under the lights.
The flowers in the garden were as large as dinner plates, and the air was filled with a crisp, sweet fragrance amplified many times over.
Along the winding path, there are several polished stone benches, carved with intricate star and moon patterns, each stone large enough to easily accommodate five or six people sitting side by side.
On their first day at Beauxbatons, Lucien and his group only followed Maxime along one route and did not tour the entire campus.
These past two days, Lucien has either been attending classes, spending time in Beauxbatons ' library, or delving into the Box World to research the magic-themed mobile phone and the modification principles of the Fountain of Fair Fortune...
I've never really explored the Beauxbatons campus properly.
Beauxbatons is filled with beautiful fountains and small gardens, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the Fountain of Fair Fortune.
The clear spring water ripples with shimmering light under the Magical Lamp, while the statues of Nicolas Flamel and his wife in the center are serene and warm.
Phoebe chuckled softly, her tone carrying a knowing smile and a hint of teasing:
"This... I don't need to introduce it anymore, right?"
Lucien nodded, his gaze quickly sweeping around—good, no one else.
Civil engineering work, commence!
He drew his wand, and at the same time, several containers of different sizes and materials flew out of his pocket one after another, hovering silently by the spring.
Phoebe was taken aback by this sudden action, but soon, a "reasonable" guess came to mind.
She tilted her head slightly and asked, "Lucien, did a friend from Hogwarts ask you to bring some spring water back with you?"
"Yes," Lucien replied briefly, his gaze now focused intently on the spring.
Phoebe really wanted to say that the water in the Fountain of Fair Fortune wasn't as magical as the rumors suggested. It just had a good cleansing effect and could make people's skin whiter and softer to some extent, but it wouldn't actually make people more beautiful.
However, considering that Lucien was Nicolas Flamel's student and should know about this, she felt that Lucien was mainly acting on behalf of his friends' requests.
Phoebe then fell silent, quietly watching Lucien's actions.
With a slight flick of his wrist, hundreds of ancient runes, shimmering with a faint light, flowed from the tip of his wand.
These runes were not random, but rather flew in an orderly fashion to every key point of the Fountain of Fair Fortune —the patterns on the pool walls, the base of the statues, and even the flowing water itself—before silently "embedding" themselves into them.
Immediately afterwards, hum--
A deep, resonant magical sound arose.
The entire Fountain of Fair Fortune, from the bottom of the pool to the statue, was instantly illuminated by dazzling patterns interwoven like electrical circuits!
A powerful and orderly magical glow replaced the original soft lighting, illuminating the area as if it were daytime.
The next moment, in the reflection of Phoebe's suddenly contracting pupils, the huge Fountain of Fair Fortune, which should have been deeply rooted in the ground, along with all the spring water in it, rose steadily from the ground and floated in mid-air!
The water continued to flow in a cycle, even appearing more fluid due to the precise manipulation of magic, yet not a single drop spilled.
Click, click, click...
A series of fine, clear sounds, like ice cracking or machinery disintegrating, rang out!
The luminous, complete outline of the Fountain of Fair Fortune, suspended in mid-air, suddenly cracked open right before Phoebe's eyes!
Yes, it cracked!!!
Stone, metal, water flow, magical patterns...
Everything was broken down into hundreds or thousands of neat, independent parts, like a huge and complex three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle being dismantled in an instant. Each piece was firmly fixed in its original position, maintaining a dynamic balance by the ever-flowing, dazzling magical threads between them.
Phoebe's mind went blank for several seconds; the extreme shock even made her momentarily speechless.
Then, an incredulous scream, rising eight octaves in ecstasy, finally broke through the throat, sounding exceptionally clear in the quiet Beauxbatons night:
"You, why did you tear down the Fountain of Fair Fortune?!"
