Hearing Emma Hughes' words, Wentworth couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew his own business, and he was very clear about his own abilities. If he hadn't gotten the Half-Blood Prince's notes in advance, Wentworth knew that he might still be able to get an O in Potions class, but that was all.
Not to mention comparing himself with Emma Hughes, the genius in front of him who was blind but could concoct the Foling Potion, even compared with Cedric and others, he was probably not as good as her.
At this moment, Jimon Hughes came over with another portion of food in his hand, and then placed the food heavily on the table in front of Wentworth.
Although Wentworth smiled and didn't care, Emma Hughes still frowned and scolded her brother, then invited Wentworth again to taste Jimon Hughes's craftsmanship.
Wentworth was not polite either. Although he attended a luxurious dinner tonight, he really didn't eat much. At this moment, Wentworth, smelling the aroma of the food in front of him, was really a little hungry.
As soon as Wentworth tasted it, he gave Djimon Hughes a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart and said:
"Jimon, your cooking skills are much better than your spell skills!"
Hearing what Wentworth said, Jimon Hughes raised his fist towards Wentworth behind Emma Hughes' back. On the contrary, Emma Hughes laughed out loud when she heard what Wentworth said.
Emma Hughes's appetite was much smaller than Wentworth's. Wentworth had only eaten half of it when Emma Hughes had finished. Afterwards, Emma Hughes did not urge her, but waited quietly aside until Wentworth finished eating. Suddenly, Emma Hughes said to Jimon Hughes:
"Jimon, go make two cups of Dream Moon Tea. This is Wentworth's first time in our tribe, so he must try our specialty! Dream Moon Tea has a unique taste, is sweet after a while, and can help with sleep. It is said that it can also increase the success rate of divination, and is an excellent material for tea divination!"
After hearing Emma Hughes' introduction, even Wentworth couldn't help but become very interested in the Dream Moon Tea that Emma Hughes mentioned.
As soon as Djimon Hughes left the room, Wentworth heard Emma Hughes say, "Wentworth, do you want to win the Golden Crucible of this year's Magic School Potion Championship?"
Hearing Emma Xiu's straightforward question, Wentworth was stunned, then smiled and said:
"Since we're going, we should definitely give it a try!"
Emma Hughes was not surprised to hear Wentworth's answer. This was a matter of course. However, Emma Hughes' next sentence surprised Wentworth for a long time:
"I can help you! Although the competition items of each Potions Championship are different, they are all about Potions. You have seen my strength in Potions. With my help, plus your own talent, you will definitely win the championship!"
After hearing what Emma Hughes said, Wentworth was silent for a long time, and then asked expressionlessly:
"So, what's the price?"
Seeing Wentworth's interest, Emma Hughes smiled slightly, and then said bluntly: "I hope that when you finish the investigation of Vagadu, you can show the outside world that Vagadu is indeed in a state of management chaos and needs supervision from the International Wizarding Federation!"
Hearing Emma Hughes' words, Wentworth couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:
"It seems that you are very dissatisfied with Vagadu, Emma Hughes!"
But Emma Hughes shook her head and denied it:
Hearing Emma Hughes' answer, Wentworth was stunned, and then said thoughtfully:
"If that's the case, then it can only mean that you are dissatisfied with certain people in Wagadu?"
But Emma Hughes did not answer Wentworth's question. Instead, she spoke again, "That's not your problem, Wentworth. You can think of this as a deal. As long as you report to the International Wizarding Federation as I say, I will definitely fulfill my promise and let you get the golden crucible!"
"If you're worried I might go back on my word, we could even make an unbreakable vow!"
After hearing what Emma Hughes said, Wentworth was not very interested in the so-called transaction. Instead, he became more interested in the person that Emma Hughes was dissatisfied with.
Wentworth was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "It's Principal Leila Lopez!"
When Wentworth said Leila Lopez's name, it was obvious that Emma Hughes, who had been calm, had a change in her expression. It was a kind of worry and entanglement that could be seen at a glance.
Seeing that Emma Hughes fell silent, Wentworth waited for a moment and then continued:
"Actually, this person is not difficult to guess. What Djimon Xius said to me this morning was also what you asked him to say to me, right?"
"Emma Hughes, you are a smart wizard. Any wizard who can successfully refine the Fuling Potion on his own at this age is definitely a smart wizard. You should know what kind of uproar will be caused if the words that Jimon Hughes and I said are spread to the outside world, right?!"
"In the thousand-year-old prestigious school Vagado in the wizarding world, the principal actually openly bought and sold admission places. Such a thing will directly ruin Ms. Leila Lopez! Not to mention that Leila Lopez will never be able to serve as the principal of Vagado again, what's more serious is that Ms. Leila Lopez may be judged and punished by the International Wizarding Union!"
At the end, Wentworth could even be said to have roared loudly with a fierce voice.
As Wentworth roared, Emma Hughes in front of him couldn't help but tremble all over, until finally, Emma Hughes even covered her cheeks with her hands and twitched softly.
Wentworth was not surprised to see this. Although Emma Hughes had been trying her best to show her confidence and strength since she entered the door, Wentworth could still distinguish between true confidence and forced calmness after being with Rosier and others all day.
Emma Hughes's words, "Yes, I am the number one potion master in Vagadu," were more like encouragement to herself than confidence.
And the fact that she could sign a firm oath with Wentworth made it seem that Emma Hughes lacked sufficient confidence.
At this time, Emma Hughes buried her head in her hands, crying convulsively, and muttered:
"I can't do it... I really can't do it! I don't want to harm Principal Leila Lopez! If it weren't for the inscription stone that Principal Leila Lopez sent by the dream messenger, I wouldn't be who I am today! But I also don't want to see Ugadu fall into such depravity! Even without the chance of redemption!"
