The New Fountain of Fair Fortune

The fractured and suspended Fountain of Fair Fortune is intricately linked by countless magical threads. The initial magical radiance gradually becomes stable and gentle, illuminating the surrounding area clearly.

As Phoebe let out a groundhog-like scream, Lucien tapped his wand to fine-tune the fountain's components while gently soothing her:

"Don't panic, we can put it back together."

Phoebe looks quite dignified, but when she screams, it's so sharp and piercing that it feels like my eardrums are being stabbed.

Hmm, I've heard that when Veela turns into her bird-head form in anger, her screams are terrifying, comparable to those of a mature Mandrake.

Could it be an inherited racial talent?

After a pause, Lucien added:

"I discussed this matter with Madame Maxime beforehand."

This sentence worked better than any explanation, and the tense expression on Phoebe's face quickly relaxed.

In Beauxbatons, Maxime wielded absolute authority; her permission was the ultimate command.

Since the principal knew about and permitted it, there must be a legitimate reason for this seemingly "destructive" act.

With her emotions calmed, Phoebe's curiosity completely overcame her unease, and she kept her eyes glued to Lucien's every move.

With a flick of his wand, Lucien opened the lids of the floating containers simultaneously.

At first, Phoebe could easily identify the materials that flew out: Moonstone Powder shimmering with a faint light, concentrated rose essential oil, and dragon gold threads finer than a hair yet incredibly strong...

These are all classic materials used in alchemy.

However, those containers seemed like bottomless pits, with all sorts of items and materials pouring out continuously.

Gradually, Phoebe could no longer recognize them—there were some things she had only seen vague images of in classical illustrations, such as the Merpeople scale polish with its pearly luster.

When it came to the last few ingredients, Phoebe was completely at a loss.

Slowly flowing shadowy matter; several strange seeds with swirling internal clouds; a small vial of gas that constantly changes color...

She stared wide-eyed at those beautiful blue eyes, completely unable to recall the name.

Only after the container stopped spewing did Phoebe ask, with a mixture of uncertainty and anticipation:

"Lucien, are you going to make adjustments to the Fountain of Fair Fortune?"

Upon receiving Lucien's affirmative nod, Phoebe's eyes lit up with surprise, and her voice quickened with excitement:

"It was Mr. Nicolas Flamel who made you..."

The Fountain of Fair Fortune is a masterpiece by Nicolas Flamel, and Lucien was his protégé.

Phoebe naturally connected the alchemical principles of the Lucien of Fountain of Fair Fortune to Nicolas, and the thought of witnessing the Alchemy's teachings firsthand filled her with joy.

In the France Wizarding World, Nicolas Flamel's name itself is a myth that has lasted for six hundred years.

However, Phoebe immediately became conflicted. If Lucien was about to use his secret alchemical techniques, would it be appropriate for her to stand by and watch? Should she leave?

But then I thought, she doesn't even recognize all those materials, so there's no suspicion that she stole their knowledge...

"Um, should I leave here first?"

Lucien was quickly counting the materials floating in the air when he heard Phoebe's hesitant voice and glanced at her sideways.

The girl's eyes darted around, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, and the faint silver halo around her flickered as if it had short-circuited.

The radiance emanating from Veela seems to fluctuate with her mood; is this also true for the Half-Veela?

Looking again at the alchemical materials spread out around him and the floating fountain components, Lucien began to guess Phoebe was thinking, and his hands continued working.

"No need, you can stay here. Feel free to ask anything you want."

Phoebe: "Hmm... Ah?"

She hadn't expected Lucien to answer so readily and was momentarily taken aback.

Lucien tapped his wand lightly in succession, and several materials that required precise processing immediately flew to their designated locations to begin the initial melting and fusion process.

"My teacher said that the knowledge and skills he taught me can be passed on to others as long as they want to learn and are able to learn them." Lucien said casually, as if he were talking about something perfectly natural.

At Nicolas Flamel's level, he no longer cared about sectarianism and was happy to see someone inherit his knowledge.

Of course, Nicolas also solemnly warned Lucien that Alchemy was a profound and "dangerous" subject, and that the learner's talent, ability, and temperament must be taken into account when teaching it.

Nicolas's assessment of Phoebe was. "She has excellent alchemical talent, and as for her personality, apart from being a bit arrogant, she's quite nice."

The implication was that if Lucien were willing to mentor her, this girl would be a promising talent.

Phoebe, of course, understood who Lucien meant by "teacher." Her beautiful, azure eyes widened involuntarily, filled with disbelief and a hint of flattery.

Before she could even gather her thoughts, Lucien had already moved on to the next step.

With a flick of his wrist, a vast and pure magical power surged forth, transforming into countless finer control threads and shimmering runes, precisely flowing into every suspended component and material.

At the same time, the water, fire, and earth elemental runes on the fingertips of his right hand, which held the wand, lit up simultaneously, reflecting each other brilliantly!

In an instant, all the elements contained in the components and materials of the Fountain of Fair Fortune, as well as the elements floating in the surrounding environment, all came to life as if "jumping with joy," and under Lucien's will, they orderly went to their respective posts.

Phoebe felt that strange resonance from Lucien again, clearer and stronger than before, carrying an indescribable warmth and pull!

Under the combined influence of vast magical power and active elements, a diverse array of materials began to undergo wondrous transformations: some fused together to forge entirely new components; some transformed into flowing light, etching intricate Ancient Runes runes into the fountain's interior; and some directly replaced certain original parts of the fountain...

A comprehensive "surgery" on the Fountain of Fair Fortune is proceeding in an orderly manner.

What Lucien displayed was not only an immense magical power far exceeding common sense, but also an affinity and control over various fundamental elements as if they were his own limbs.

This revolutionary alchemical scene left even the self-proclaimed knowledgeable Phoebe completely speechless, forgetting how to ask any questions.

Completely immersed in this "art" composed of magic, elements, and material transformations.

The radiance slowly receded and settled inward.

The countless components suspended in the air were perfectly reassembled and fused together, guided by magical threads.

That familiar, elegant Fountain of Fair Fortune is once again fully revealed in the night, sitting quietly in its original place.

The babbling of water resumed, and the clear spring water flowed along the new pool walls, which were adorned with subtle magical patterns, shimmering with a more ethereal and dreamlike glow under the moonlight than ever before.

The moment the spring water resumed flowing—

[Ding! Fountain of Fair Fortune has been improved!]
