Chapter 339: Conflict in the Headmaster's Office

"Albus—"

Inside the Headmaster's office, Professor Marcus Maige walked quickly to the door, only to find that an uninvited guest had arrived early.

Professor Taila's silver hair and Headmaster Dumbledore's beard formed a distinct white, dotted against the walls made of ancient stone.

"Yes, Headmaster Dumbledore, it's been a long time, so long that I'm almost unable to remember clearly..."

Professor Taila took a sip of black tea, her fingers raised, and the steam that blocked her vision transformed into thin smoke, diffusing out of the window.

"At that time, they called me the youngest alchemy scholar in Uagadou. I was proud of the honor and once missed many excellent alchemy masters.

Not being able to communicate with those masters is the regret of my life. You know, some lives are destined to be brilliant but short.

Therefore, my disciple, he must not miss it."

Headmaster Dumbledore squinted his eyes, as if listening to an old friend rambling.

In fact, the friendship between the two could be traced back to the last International Alchemy Assembly.

That was seventy years ago; at that time, Dumbledore attended as a friend of Master Nicolas Flamel, while Taila was still a bewildered little girl.

Since Taila had served as a professor at Hogwarts, she had been more disappointed, and usually, it was impossible for her to have so much to say.

This made Dumbledore particularly interested,

Especially since someone was secretly listening to them talk at the door.

"Olivia, the last time we met, you were still complaining that today's students are not as good as before..."

Dumbledore crossed his fingers, his face full of teasing.

"An alchemist will always meet a few excellent little wizards...

Headmaster Dumbledore, when I met him, I understood that seventy years of time was so worth it.

Just like Master Nicolas Flamel dreaming of an angel holding a book, I read the 'Book of Abraham the Jew' that belongs to this era."

Professor Taila ignored the teasing and said solemnly.

"Please continue, Olivia. I am very interested in this master who is about to rise."

Dumbledore gently raised his hand, his blue eyes behind his half-moon spectacles carrying deep thought and... cunning.

"Albus—"

At this time, Professor Marcus Maige had already entered the Headmaster's office with a blank expression,

"Professor Taila."

"Professor Marcus Maige."

Professor Taila greeted her in a friendly manner.

"I sincerely thank you; it is precisely because of Professor Minerva Marcus Maige's dedication in the field of Transfiguration that the breakthrough in the alchemy world today has been realized."

Professor Taila's voice was flat, but it did carry some ripples.

Minerva Marcus Maige's complexion, however, was not very good.

This Professor Taila seemed to be faintly... "provoking" her?

"I will take him to attend this International Alchemy Assembly...

He should communicate with the greatest alchemists—

The Egyptian master who created Floo Powder; the Headmistress of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic who preserves the techniques for making Two-Way Mirrors and Vanishing Cabinets; the Uagadou family who manages the production processes for Remembralls and magical portraits...

Subsequently, he will announce the arrival of an era!"

Professor Taila seemed to be announcing something extraordinary.

Minerva Marcus Maige's lips were pressed into an angry line because she faintly felt that someone had been provoking her.

Using a superstitious alchemy, using a group of charlatans who spent their days dreaming of turning stones into gold, trying to take away a genius rarely seen in the field of Transfiguration for centuries.

"With all due respect, Professor Taila, I think he should perhaps delve deeper into the theory of Fantastic Beast Transfiguration." ===== CHAPTER 340 =====
