Albert was very satisfied with the meal, most of which were Spanish-style delicacies.
Among them, there is also a cold soup called "Andalusia" that Bud believes is a must-try when visiting Spain in the summer.
What impressed Albert the most was the Spanish paella.
Rice is definitely very rare in Europe.
The number of European countries where rice is the staple food can be counted on one hand, but it is undeniable that the taste of Spanish paella is really great and amazing.
After the meal, there is also the famous Spanish custard dessert.
Well, it’s actually pudding, and it tastes great.
The bartender also recommended them the famous Spanish fruit wine.
However, Albert did not plan to drink. After dinner, he prepared to go back to his room to rest and chat with Isobel about his experiences in Spain.
When he was about to get up and go upstairs to rest, the noisy bar suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked towards the stage, as if a concert was about to begin.
"Tonight, Yanila will sing three songs in the tavern. She is the most famous female singer in the Spanish magic world and has many fans in the international magic world." Bud introduced the sweet-looking blonde girl on the stage to Albert. "She is also the daughter of the owner of this bar."
It is undeniable that Yanila is a very beautiful blonde girl. She looks very young and has a sweet voice, but in Albert's opinion, she is just so-so. After all, there are many beautiful girls among the girls he knows, and he is more or less immune to so-called beauties.
However, after the song ended, Albert found that his attention was completely focused on the singer. He felt an inexplicable sense of joy in his heart while listening to the other person singing.
"There's something strange."
Albert couldn't help but frowned, and looked around, and found that the audience who were originally immersed in the song didn't want the singing to stop.
"Charm magic?"
The expression on Albert's face became more and more strange. He looked at the girl on the stage again. Could it be the ability of a vampire, or could it be that this vampire lady actually has some Veela bloodline
However, this is also quite remarkable. Being able to incorporate seductive magic into songs and give music a hypnotic charm, it is no wonder that Miss Yanila has become a famous singer.
After three songs, Yanila left. However, there was a brief commotion in the pub, as people were reluctant to let the singer leave.
"Isn't it great?" Bud winked at Albert. "She will be the special guest and present the trophy to the champion of the Barnabus Finkley Excellent Spellcasting Competition. Oh, I forgot to tell you that winning the championship does not mean winning the gold medal. Even if you win the championship, you still need to show amazing spellcasting skills to get the recognition of the judges and win the final gold medal."
Albert raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there any difference?"
"The champion will receive a gold-plated trophy and a cash prize, while the gold medal will receive an exquisite solid gold medal, which is more valuable and will be recorded forever."
Albert couldn't help but wonder if anyone would be willing to participate in such a competition, and "That's not what you said last time!"
At this moment, Albert discovered that there was finally some movement in his panel task. He quickly opened the panel to check the new task he had been waiting for for a long time. His expression suddenly became very interesting. What the hell is this "superior to all others".
Mission: To outshine all the others.
The Barnabus Finkley Award for Outstanding Spellcasting is an international award widely watched by wizards. It is said that wizards who can win the Barnabus Finkley Award for Outstanding Spellcasting will become great wizards in the near future. If you are planning to participate in it, then use your wonderful spellcasting skills to win the final championship, pass the review of the judges, and gain recognition from everyone.
Rewards: 10,000 experience points, 1 skill point, 1 gold medal, master your own spell-casting technique, Yanila's favorability +20, reputation in the magic world +1,000.
Although the name of the mission is a bit strange, the rewards for the mission are quite rich. Moreover, it seems that you can master your own spell-casting techniques
Could it be that he secretly replaced Voldemort's spell-casting method with his own
This is possible, after all, everyone would just think that it was his way of casting a spell.
However, what happened to Yanila’s favorability +20
"Is it what they call beauty loves heroes?" Albert had a lot of complaints in his heart.
"What are you thinking about?" Bud asked puzzledly.
"There seems to be something wrong with Miss Yanila's singing." Albert lowered his voice and said, "It feels like... a Veela."
He moved his lips slightly and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"It is said that her father is one-quarter Veela." Bard casually helped Albert answer the doubts in his heart.
Albert: “…”
How do you know everything
However, it is undeniable that Miss Yanila's singing voice is indeed very beautiful.
Albert thought for a moment and asked, "Can I get her record? I want to take one back as a gift."
In fact, he was very curious whether Miss Yanila's records still had the same charm as her live singing, and he couldn't go back to Spain empty-handed.
"As long as you win the championship, Yanila will give you a set of her autographed records."
"Is it valuable?" Albert asked suddenly.
"It should be quite valuable. After all, it has great commemorative value." If Bud knew that the guy opposite him was considering how much this set of records could be sold for, he would definitely regret what he said just now.
"By the way, there is something I'm curious about." Albert asked his inner doubts before going back to rest, "How did the organizer solve the communication problem of wizards from different countries?"
When hosting international competitions, communication is often a big problem.
"It is said that the owner of the bar knows more than ten foreign languages, and most of the translation problems are solved by the owner of this bar. This is also one of the reasons why the competition is held here." Bud took a sip of whiskey and looked at Albert with a complicated expression for some reason.
"That's amazing." Albert couldn't help but sigh.
This is a true master of language.
Instead of a fake one like him who uses panel skills.
"Don't you know many languages yourself?" Bud was puzzled. He knew that Albert was proficient in various languages.
"Oh, really?"
A voice interrupted their chat, and Diana came over with a glass of fruit wine, also looking at Albert with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Bud says you're a very great genius," Diana said in French, as if to test Albert's multilingualism.
"Mr. Bud is a very great genius." Albert did not respond and directly turned the topic to Bud.
"He is indeed a genius. He has won the Barnabus Finkley Gold Medal for Excellent Spellcasting Skills." Diana glanced at Bud and changed her language again, this time to German.
"Well, he mentioned it to me. I admire him very much." Albert looked into Diana's eyes and answered in German.
"He seems to be taking you down his old path, except that you are younger than he was back then." Diana changed the language again, this time it was Russian.
Just as Albert was about to speak, Diana changed her language and continued, "If you can win the gold medal, I will introduce my daughter Yanila to you. Um, she is the girl who just had a concert. She is the same age as you."
"Ahem, I have a girlfriend." Albert cleared his throat and reminded.
"I'm just introducing you to him." Diana nodded with satisfaction, "Do your best. Since Bud is so optimistic about you, I believe it won't be difficult for you to win the gold medal."
After Diana walked away, Albert turned his gaze back to Bud and asked with a strange expression, "Your daughter?"
The expression on Bud's face was equally strange, as if he was recalling some past events that he didn't want to remember.
“Not really.”
What do you mean it doesn’t count
Albert was sure that Diana was Bud's daughter. He secretly used Legilimency, and Diana's hint just now was already very obvious.
