Devero and Lupine followed the address given by Snape and arrived at the exhibition hall of the Association of Extraordinary Apothecaries.

As soon as I stepped into the hall, I was shocked by the sight in front of me and stopped in my tracks.

The exhibition hall is extremely majestic, with a towering ceiling, inlaid with huge magic crystal lamps, emitting a soft golden light, illuminating the entire space like daylight.

It had obviously been expanded using the Space Expansion Spell. At this time, the area of ​​the hall was comparable to five Quidditch pitches connected together.

The surrounding walls are covered with badges of the Potion Masters Associations of various countries, and the air is filled with a faint scent of herbs, and it seems that every breath invigorates people.

There are an astonishing number of booths, roughly estimated to be hundreds, and each booth is uniquely decorated in the style of its respective country.

The booth from France was elegantly and romantically decorated, with rows of colorful pharmacy bottles displayed on the silver display racks, with delicate patterns inlaid on the bottles.

A woman who looked taller than Hagrid was instructing several professors to place several flower pots in front of their booths.

She was wrapped from head to toe in a black satin dress and wore many rich opals.

There was also a little silver-haired girl running around the French exhibition, looking at the entire venue curiously.

"That should be Madame Maxime, right? So they should be the Beauxbatons delegation."

Devereaux thought as he looked at the tall woman.

The American booth is mainly themed with a sense of machinery.

The most important one is a school called Miskatonic University. A huge alchemy device occupies the center of their booth, making a slight buzzing sound and attracting the attention of many passing staff.

Devereux even saw the Japanese booth.

There are several bonsai placed behind their special screen, and a row of small and exquisite medicine bottles are neatly arranged on the display table, with a thin red string tied to each bottle cap.

But I didn’t see a certain Dongda University...

"Maybe it's not the same system and we can't play together?"

Devereux thought, raising an eyebrow.

Devereaux and Lupine are located in the center of the entire hall, making them the most conspicuous places in the exhibition hall.

A circle of golden guardrails was arranged around the booth, and the display table was covered with dark red velvet fabric, which looked particularly noble and elegant.

The nameplate next to it clearly reads "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Delegation".

Devereux raised his head and glanced at the entire exhibition hall, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

"Tsk, this place is more luxurious than I imagined."

Blackwood came forward, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.

"You are finally here, and I was thinking about going to the bar to find you in person. It's almost eight o'clock, and none of your representatives have shown up. It would be terrible if I screw up!"

He was wearing very high-end clothes and looked much more formal than when he came to see them yesterday. If Devereaux hadn't opened the panel to confirm that he was right, he would have almost not recognized him.

After saying that, Blackwood quickly guided the two people to the booth and patted Devereux on the shoulder.

"Come on, come on, your booth is in the center of the entire hall, and it's also the best location! This was appointed by Sir Granger, so you have to work harder!"

Then Blackwood lowered his voice and spoke to Devereux.

"Also, your location is closest to the representatives of the Ministry of Magic."

Devereaux rubbed his eyes. Although he was very sleepy, he was still a little awake by the scene.

His eyes swept to the other side of the pavilion, where the second best location belonged to Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Their booth was decorated slightly coldly, with black and silver as the main colors. On the display stand were several bottles of potions emitting faint blue light, which were probably their main products.

However, the principal of Durmstrang, Karkaroff, did not appear. There was only a tall professor who was busy setting up the booth with a few students.

Lu Ping was obviously shocked by the scene before him. His steps seemed a little stiff and he even trembled slightly when walking.

he whispered.

"I...I have never seen such a high-end event venue. My God, this place is like a palace."

Devereaux glanced at him and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Relax, Lupin. We represent Hogwarts, don't be embarrassed."

As he spoke, Devereux's eyes turned to Blackwood, his voice slightly confused.

"By the way, Uncle Arthur, after you said goodbye to the professor yesterday, have you never seen Professor Snape again?"

Blackwood nodded slightly, with a look of disdain on his face.

"That's right, he disappeared after giving the cage to me yesterday. Wait...have you fixed him yet?"

Having said this, his eyes fell on the cage held by Devereux, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Devereaux was startled, and it took him a moment to realize that the other person was talking about a cage, and then he shook his head.

"No. I just adjusted its structure to make it look more complete, but it still cannot be used. The professor's intention of doing this is really confusing."

Blackwood frowned after hearing this, as if he was thinking about something, but soon returned to his smile and nodded.

"Well, it seems he still hasn't told you the full plan."

Devereux frowned slightly, and was about to continue asking something, when Lupine came over, pushed his shoulder, and urged.

"Don't dawdle, go to the booth. We are the central booth, don't let other delegations laugh at us."

Deverot had no choice but to turn around, and looked back at Blackwood before leaving.

At this time, the other party had put on that professional smile again, but there seemed to be a hint of elusive meaning in his eyes.

Arriving at the booth, Deverot helped Lupin put the samples on the display stand one by one, but his movements seemed a little absent-minded.

His brows were getting tighter and tighter, and he couldn't help but look back again in the direction where Blackwood had just stood.

However, Blackwood had disappeared at this time, as if he had disappeared in the crowd.

Lupin was concentrating on arranging the samples and didn't notice Deverot's abnormality at all. While adjusting the angle of the display stand, he muttered to himself: "This time the professor is not here, it's just the two of us... We can't mess this up."

Deverot didn't say anything, just muttered in a low voice.

"This guy...how did he know that this cage was broken?"

At the same time, in the crowd not far away, Blackwood was slowly walking through the hall.

His face was cold, and the smile just now had disappeared.

Walking to a relatively secluded corner, he raised his left arm, and the cuffs slipped down, revealing an old watch with a wolf etched on the dial inlaid with red crystals.

He whispered.

"An unexpected situation has occurred. His understanding of time magic is abnormal, and the progress has exceeded expectations. Now the repair is almost complete. Once he gets the "old thing", he can go back directly. Other plans must be started in advance!"
