Chapter 423: The Transfiguration Museum
The entire review process for the Wizard Invention was very quick, concluding in less than an hour.
Gavin-Tuer’s invention, the Emotion Bullet, successfully passed the assessment after being reviewed by a group of experts and achieved excellent results.
Next up was the new product launch event scheduled for 6 PM with the Psychic Conglomerate.
Indeed, driven by the “champion” effect, the Psychic Conglomerate’s press conference could only be described as “packed.” Besides the reporters who had been waiting there early, a massive crowd of fanatical fans completely filled the Psychic Conglomerate’s entire sub-venue.
Fortunately, the overall effect of the press conference was quite good. Both the interview atmosphere and the overall popularity far exceeded the Psychic Conglomerate’s expectations. “Miss Jia Na, we have arrived.”
Jia Na, who had been resting with her eyes closed in the carriage, opened them when she heard Jenny’s voice beside her.
“Thank you for your hard work today, Jenny.”
Looking at the deepening night outside the window and the Crystal Rose Hotel next to the carriage, Jia Na put on her wizard robe and did not forget to thank Jenny, the temporary assistant assigned by the Tongling Group to do her makeup and styling for the day.
“You’re welcome. It’s part of my job to serve you well—”
“Then I am very satisfied with your work performance today.”
Watching Jenny’s serious expression, Jia Na tidied the stray hairs by her temples and gave Jenny a very positive affirmation.
“Tha—thank you.”
Upon hearing Jia Na’s praise, Jenny, who usually didn’t show much emotion, inexplicably blushed.
Especially when she saw the other person’s dazzling smile even in the dark, Jenny’s earlobes even turned hot.
“I’m leaving first.”
“Ah, alright—let me help you.”
“Thank you.”
With Jenny’s kind assistance, Jia Na stepped out of the carriage. Shortly after she disembarked, Goblin Billy, who had been waiting for a long time at the Crystal Rose Hotel, opened the door to welcome Jia Na.
“Good evening, Miss Jia Na, you’re finally back from your busy day.”
“Good evening, Billy.”
Looking at Billy waiting at the door, Jia Na smiled and nodded. Then, she took out a wind chimes-shaped Alchemy ornament from her thorn bracelet and handed it to him.
“I saw this when I attended the press conference today. I thought it would suit you.”
Looking at the Alchemy wind chimes handed to him by Jia Na, Goblin Billy, who had initially been smiling, now widened his eyes, pointing at himself with a look of disbelief.
“Are you saying—this is specifically for Billy?”
“That’s right.”
Seeing Goblin Billy’s surprised expression, Jia Na nodded and directly placed the wind chime ornament into his hand.
“This wind chime is engraved with a Sound-type magic pattern that can make people feel calm and peaceful. It also has recording and automatic reminder functions, making it very suitable to hang at the entrance of your hotel.”
Upon hearing Jia Na’s explanation, Goblin Billy couldn’t help but purse his lips, then solemnly accepted the Alchemy wind chime ornament.
“Miss Jia Na, if you ever need Billy’s help with anything in the future, just ask.”
“This is just a small gift between friends. Besides, you’ve already helped me a lot recently, and I haven’t properly thanked you yet.”
To be honest, during Jia Na’s stay at the Crystal Rose Hotel, Goblin Billy’s care was incredibly meticulous.
The best room, the best meals, and his occasional invitations for her and Gavin-Tuer to dine at famous local restaurants—all these gestures made Jia Na, as a guest, feel exceptionally at home.
Even if, at first, he was only so thoughtful out of consideration for Lilith-Meg, it didn’t prevent Jia Na from appreciating Goblin Billy as a person.
“Thank you, Miss Jia Na…”
“You’re welcome. Let’s go inside.”
Ding-a-ling—
As the two entered the hotel, the wind chimes in Goblin Billy’s hand emitted a crisp sound.
And at the moment the bell rang, the effect of the Sound-type magic pattern also manifested, and Goblin Billy’s originally turbulent emotions gradually calmed down with the pleasant sound of the bells. The next day, morning.
Because she was too tired yesterday, after entering her room, Jia Na simply took a quick shower and then sat directly on the bed to enter a meditation state.
It wasn’t until Jia Na opened her eyes again and emerged from deep meditation that it was already eight o’clock the next morning.
“It looks like there’s no time for breakfast.”
After washing up, Jia Na looked at the clock in the room, which already pointed to ten past eight. After putting on her wizard robe, she rushed out of the room and hurried downstairs.
“Good morning, Professor McGonagall.”
As soon as she walked downstairs, Jia Na saw Lilith-Meg, who had been missing all afternoon yesterday, now sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.
“Go get some breakfast first. There’s still time.”
Looking at Jia Na’s slightly hurried appearance, Lilith-Meg, sitting on the sofa, was not in a hurry at all, still leisurely reading the newspaper in her hand.
“No, Professor, I usually don’t have the habit of eating breakfast in the morning.”
This was, of course, something Jia Na made up on the spot. It was just that since the Transfiguration Museum opened at 8:30 AM, if she ate now, she would most likely be late.
“Go eat, we won’t be late.”
Hearing Lilith-Meg’s words, and considering a certain possibility, Jia Na no longer declined against her will. She just nodded and quickly walked to the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel to have a quick bite.
“It’s 8:20.”
After eating, Jia Na, knowing she was already late, no longer rushed. Instead, she calmly walked over to Lilith-Meg.
“Today’s newspaper headlines are all about you.”
As soon as she sat on the sofa, Jia Na received the morning newspaper handed to her by Lilith-Meg. “Well done. Keep it up.”
Hearing Lilith-Meg’s rare praise, Jia Na felt a little embarrassed. However, before Jia Na could return her thanks, a long, narrow spatial rift appeared without warning directly in front of them.
“It’s getting late. Let’s go.”
“Yes, Professor.”
Upon hearing this, Jia Na also stood up and, following Lilith-Meg’s footsteps, skillfully stepped into the spatial rift.
“When we get to the Transfiguration Museum later, don’t linger too long in other places, so as not to delay important matters.”
“Understood.”
As space shifted, in a short while, an ancient-looking castle-like building appeared before Jia Na’s eyes.
