Chapter 347 The Story of Red Wine



When Wentworth and Joseph Connie walked into the banquet venue side by side, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Then, along the way, Joseph Connie continued to introduce the guests attending the banquet tonight to Wentworth one by one.

Although it was just a party held by a group of students, even the knowledgeable Wentworth had to admit that the party was well organized. It was obvious that this was definitely not the first time that Joseph Connie had hosted such a party.

Through Joseph Connie's introduction, Wentworth also discovered that although the number of people attending the banquet today was not large, behind each person, it seemed that there was a large tribe in the African magical world.

Originally, Joseph Connie wanted to invite Wentworth to speak a few words in front of the crowd, but Wentworth refused with a smile.

Then, accompanied by the sound of music, the banquet officially began.

Although there were many girls present, it seemed that everyone tacitly gave this opportunity to Winna Connie.

Although Wentworth noticed that many girls' eyes were on him as soon as he entered the party, no one jumped out to compete with Winna Connie for the opportunity to dance with him, which made Wentworth feel a little disappointed.

Then, Wentworth naturally came together with Winna Kearney and danced the opening dance to the music.

Rosier, who was quite strict with Wentworth, naturally had to train Wentworth in this area.

Soon, the first dance ended with Winna Kony's flattery.

As soon as the music ended, a circle of girls instantly surrounded Wentworth, vying with each other to invite him to dance, which made many other boys present look at each other in surprise.

Just as Wentworth was about to be polite, Joseph Kony came over at an inopportune time and said, "I'm sorry, beautiful ladies, although you are doing this in the hope that Wentworth can feel our African hospitality, please don't scare our distinguished guest!"

As he spoke, Joseph Kony put his arm around Wentworth's shoulders and walked towards the corner of the banquet.

At this time, in a corner of the lawn, someone had already placed two chairs and a small round table, with a bottle of red wine and wine utensils on the table.

Joseph Kony naturally invited Wentworth to sit down, and personally poured a glass of red wine for Wentworth, while saying:

"This is the red wine that the French Magical Congress gave to my father. It is said that it contains forty-eight ingredients, including the Burgundy devil grapes. How do you like it?"

After hearing Joseph Connie's introduction, Wentworth immediately became interested. Although due to his age, Wentworth could not drink openly in Hogwarts, when he returned to the witch party during the holidays, there were no such things.

As a pure Frenchman, Rosier had extremely high requirements for the quality of red wine. Therefore, thanks to Rosier, Wentworth was often able to taste fine wines from different wine-producing regions in France.

However, after Wentworth took a sip with great interest, he could not help but frown. This glass of wine, let alone the red wine Wentworth tasted from Rozier, felt even less appetizing than a glass of butterbeer.

But seeing Joseph Kony drinking with relish, Wentworth was about to think of a good remark when he heard Joseph Kony speak first:

“Is it hard to drink?”

Wentworth was stunned, then he could only smile awkwardly.

Joseph Kony didn't care. After taking another sip of the red wine in the glass, he said calmly:

Hearing what Joseph Connie said, Wentworth couldn't help but become interested. Looking at what Joseph Connie did, let alone a bottle of red wine, even a winery should be nothing to Joseph Connie and the Connie tribe behind him.

Joseph Kony did not keep the audience in suspense and explained directly:

"Wentworth, you should be able to see that we in Africa are backward in all aspects compared to you in Europe! However, we in Africa have what you in Europe need!"

After hearing what Joseph Kone said, Wentworth thought for a moment and said slowly: "Fantastic Beasts?"

Joseph Connie nodded with a smile and said, "Not only magical animals, but also various magical potions that are unique to Africa!"

"I heard that you went to Professor Laura's class today, and used the horns of the Nile Triceratops to make a wake-up call on the spot?"

Wentworth frowned and said with a half-smile: "Joseph Kony, it seems that you care about me very much!"

Joseph Kony laughed and waved his hand to explain:

"I didn't ask anyone to follow you, Wentworth. It's just that a friend of mine happened to be in the class at that time. After class, he told me about it. I can only say that you are indeed an outstanding student from Hogwarts, the heir of the Dumbledore family. You left a deep impression on my friend!"

Wentworth smiled but did not respond. Seeing this, Joseph Cony had no choice but to continue speaking: "Back then, our Cony family donated many things to the French Magical Congress in order to obtain the right to distribute magical animals and potions in France. The Nile Triceratops you saw today was one of the items on the donation list. The entire donation list was a foot long!"

"And the return gift from the French Magical Congress is a box of this red wine!"

After hearing Joseph Connie's explanation and looking at the red wine in his hand, Wentworth couldn't help but take another sip, then nodded and said slowly, "It's still hard to drink..."

Hearing Wentworth's words, Joseph Connie was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter. That laughter even attracted the attention of many people at the banquet, but Joseph Connie didn't care at all.

After laughing, Joseph Kony also nodded vigorously, then became expressionless and said word by word:

"Of course it tastes bad, because this is a box of failed test products!"

"Perhaps its cost is indeed not low, but no matter how high the cost is, a failed product is still a failed product! And this box of failed test products was given to my father by the French Magical Congress as if it were extremely precious!"

"What do they mean?"

Hearing what Joseph Kony said, Wentworth could only smile awkwardly and did not answer Joseph Kony's question.

Seeing this, Joseph Kony himself sneered and said:

"Are you ashamed to say it, Wentworth? Never mind, Wentworth, I say it myself, they are just sending away country bumpkins who have never seen the world!"
