This Hogwarts is not normal

October 10th, Halloween Eve.

When the students were still sleeping and looking forward to the evening banquet, Vincent had already changed his clothes and came to the principal's office.

The alchemy shop would open in two hours, and he would set off with Dumbledore.

The invitation letters of the guests have been sent out half a month in advance, so it's hard to say how many will be there.

"Professor, I need your help with something..."

The surprise on Dumbledore's face disappeared little by little.

He smiled and nodded after listening, "Yes, I believe Newt will not refuse."

"That's great!" Vincent pouted, "Professor, let's go."

Fawkes flew over from the perch and moved the two of them to Knockturn Alley.

No need for redundant dialogue, they both understand that their goals have been achieved.

The fire disappeared, and Vincent saw a particularly clean and tidy street.

Fudge's face project was well done, and for a moment he thought he had come to the wrong place.

It's not as prosperous as Diagon Alley, but it's better than the usual mess.

Those wizards who didn't dare to show their faces were all hiding at home. Except for the Magic Law Enforcement Team on the street, they were serious wizards who came to see the excitement.

Basically all of them are domestic, and some are from foreign countries.

Vincent still had a bit of clout anyway.

Nicole Flamel's apprentice, the second-class Medal of the Order of Merlin and the Medal of Honor of the Magic Council, the representative of the Wizengamot British youth...

Dumbledore smiled at him and shook his head, "I know you are sober, but as someone who has experienced it, I still want to warn you——

Don't be fooled by the honor in front of you, Vincent, you don't want to be like them either. "

Vincent followed his gaze.

A large group of people stood in the middle of the street, all of whom were guests invited to participate in the opening of the alchemy shop.

The most conspicuous are Fudge and other Ministry of Magic officials, followed by several representatives of the International Alchemy Association.

Chairman Khafre's face was full of smiles, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

You can still laugh when you touch some interests, but what if you touch a greater interest?

Vincent solemnly assured Dumbledore, "Professor, I will remember it well."

After walking a few steps forward, they found two people.

Fudge put on a hypocritical smile, seemed a little surprised, and came over enthusiastically with a group of officials.

"Oh—our protagonist today is finally here."

The pride on his face is not fake, "Vincent, you have done a great thing!"

"No way, Minister Fudge, I just want to earn some Galleons, and I have no other ideas at all."

Until now, only a handful of people knew the pricing of alchemy items.

Ultra-low price, the ultimate cost performance.

In the perception of most wizards, every alchemy item is extremely precious and priceless.

So what if Vincent opened the store?

Not to mention that the location is in the notorious Knockturn Alley, and not to mention his own output, the high cost alone is destined to not be so low.

Everyone attended to save face, and they just talked about the scene.

Fudge smiled and patted Vincent on the shoulder,

"Don't be humble, it is undoubtedly a great thing for more wizards to enjoy the convenience brought by alchemy items."

Vincent smiled, "Thank you Minister Fudge for your encouragement, I will definitely continue to work hard."

If Fudge can maintain this state throughout the whole process, without taking sides, it will be regarded as a benefit to the British wizarding community.

Unfortunately, according to Vincent's understanding of him, it would be good if the alchemy shop wasn't forced to close after the price was announced.

After the Ministry of Magic, there is the International Association of Alchemists.

Hafre told Vincent earnestly and sincerely like an elder, saying that there are many old people in the association supporting him, and he must not let them down.

"Chairman Khafre, you will not be disappointed." Vincent added mysteriously:

"I have also prepared a little surprise, so don't be intimidated."

The smile on Hafre's face was even brighter, "There are still surprises? Then we will wait and see."

Of course, the partners will not be absent from the big event of the opening of the alchemy store.

Restman from the Greenglass family, Devine from the Rozier family, and Toshihiko from the Jingu family were all there.

After chatting for a while, the group continued to move forward.

Not long after, the pyramid-shaped alchemy shop arrived.

The obsidian lustrous appearance caused bursts of exclamation.

Khafre and other representatives of the Alchemy Association were amazed at the lines and symbols above.

Every alchemist has his own set of encryption methods. If they guess correctly, these lines and symbols should be able to get some formulas by arranging them.

If it weren't for the other guests, they might have already taken out pens and paper to crack it.

Since Vincent dared to engrave the formula, it meant that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

But relatively, he also has enough confidence in the encryption method.

On the basis of Nico's encrypted manuscript, he slightly modified it into another arrangement, and split and reorganized the symbols according to the rules of Chinese radicals.

Lines are arguably redundant, as they are misleading in so many ways.

Outside the alchemy shop, Cecilia, who had been waiting for a long time, came to Vincent respectfully,

"Chairman, everything is ready, we can start anytime."

"Very good." Vincent turned to the guests, "I believe everyone must be impatient."

He glanced at Rita who was standing in the corner with the reporters, "The idea of ​​the alchemy store actually came from a small wish of mine.

I don't think alchemy should only belong to a small number of wizards, but due to various reasons, it has not been popularized. "

The faces of representatives of Khafre and other associations were slightly unsightly.

After all, he was a well-known alchemist, and his minor grievances were well disguised.

Vincent didn't pay attention to them, and continued after a short pause:

"My alchemy tutor is a master in this field, an existence that I can never catch up with, and everything he makes is an existence that I need to look up to."

He laughed at himself, "You don't have to worry about me, I'm very good at comforting myself."

The guests smiled politely.

Just when they thought that was it, Vincent suddenly dropped a bombshell:

"I am very honored to have such a powerful mentor to guide my alchemy, and I finally found a way to realize my wish."

Khafre was not surprised, but frightened.

After all, he is just a child, and energy production may not be able to keep costs down.

Vincent suddenly opened his hands, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Everyone knows that I came from a Muggle family, and my father bought a car manufacturer some time ago.

During the summer vacation, I visited the factory there and came up with a particularly efficient solution. "

Facing everyone's doubts and disbelief, he slowly said the answer:

"I built an assembly-line alchemy factory, which can successfully expand production while reducing the original high cost to an almost impossible number."

Silence, dead silence.

The eyes of Khafre and other association representatives changed.

Before that, Vincent was an excellent junior whom they could look forward to.

But now, he has become the enemy of the alchemists—no, the entire alchemy world.
