Chapter 147: Minions

Arthur and Nicolas chatted until noon, and after finishing lunch, Arthur went to the laboratory to see the Minions.

At this time, the Minions were still fixing Nico's lab, holding tools and wrenches in their tiny hands and looking quite funny.

As soon as they saw Arthur enter, they immediately put down what they were holding and surrounded him.

"Banana~!"

Kevin hugged Arthur's leg and bounced around.

Bob held Kevin back and tried to pull him away so he could hug his master.

Stuart stood off to the side and made a silly face.

Seeing the three of them, Arthur was also very happy. After all, they were his alchemy creations. It had been a while, and he kind of missed them.

Arthur rubbed Kevin's little head and pretended to be angry, saying, "Didn't I ask you to help Nicolas? How did you end up blowing up the lab?"

Kevin seemed furious and kept talking, but Bob got tired of waiting and hit Kevin, sending him flying.

Kevin crashed into the table, causing the recently fixed lab to become a mess again.

Arthur could only laugh and cry. Kevin put it all on Bob's mistakes, saying that it was Bob's mistake that caused the explosion and destroyed the lab.

As a result, Bob became a bit ashamed and used physical force against Kevin.

Arthur made the Minions' bodies out of expensive materials, and their strength was about the same as that of some strong magical creatures.

He quickly stopped the two little guys from fooling around. If they continued fighting, the entire lab would probably need to be rebuilt.

"Alright, stop messing around. In a couple of days, I'm going to take you all to participate in an event, but first, I need to make some improvements to you."

When hearing Arthur's words, the three Minions obediently stood by his side.

Arthur led them to his laboratory, inside his suitcase. He was planning to give the Minions a major upgrade.

Arthur didn't want the Minions to fight when he first made them, so he only made their bodies stronger and didn't give them many runes that helped them fight.

But since Nicolas wanted Arthur to bring the Minions to the Alchemy Summit, Arthur couldn't let Nicolas down.

He decided to give the Minions a major upgrade.

First, he focused on their cores. The core of the Minions had become somewhat outdated, according to Arthur.

The efficiency of their core formations in extracting magic was not high, so the power of their spells was not particularly strong, just slightly stronger than that of young-aged wizards.

Arthur strengthened their core formations to reach the efficiency of a normal Auror in magic extraction.

Next, he worked on the enchantments and runes on the Minions' bodies.

At first, Arthur mostly carved helper runes like the Summoning and the Floating Charm that could help their masters in a fight.

Now Arthur has directly added all the commonly used offensive spells, like the Disarming Charm, Petrification Curse, and Shield Charm, all of them arranged.

The most important addition is an emergency mode, which allows instant apparition to the person holding the mark, protecting them from deadly attacks.

Arthur wanted to do something nice for Nicolas by giving him this mark.

Lastly, he replaced some materials. He had a lot of things thanks to the card he got from the system and the things he found on his own.

He used the best materials he currently had for the Minions to achieve the best results.

By the time Arthur finished everything, two days had passed, and tomorrow was the day of the Alchemy Summit.

For this event, Mrs. Perenelle made Arthur a set of dress clothes that fit him perfectly.

The materials were extremely precious, like dragon skin, unicorn feathers, and Thestral fur, all of which held a big amount of value.

Arthur felt that the value of this outfit could already buy him a Firebolt.

"Grandma Perenelle, you don't have to prepare such a nice outfit for me. You know, I'm still growing, and maybe I won't fit into this outfit next year."

Arthur spoke with a hint of helplessness as he watched Perenelle adjust his bow tie.

But the old lady didn't mind, saying, "It's alright, this outfit will only be worn once. If you need another one next time, we'll have it custom-made again."

Arthur felt a bit embarrassed.

In his previous life, he had heard that celebrities never wore the same outfit to important events, but he didn't expect to experience it himself.

Mrs. Perenelle gave a satisfied nod as she looked at the handsome young man in front of her. She felt as proud of him as if he were her own grandson.

Suddenly, she thought of something.

"Fleur will be your partner for tomorrow's event. She will come to our house, and we'll leave together."

Fleur is going too?

Arthur hadn't expected that. Previously, Fleur hadn't shown any interest in alchemy, so he thought she wouldn't go this time.

When the older woman spoke, he nodded to show that he understood.

...

The next morning, Arthur dressed in his formal clothes and waited in the living room for Fleur's arrival.

However, he didn't have to wait long before the young witch arrived.

Fleur was wearing a silver dress made of a certain type of silk thread. Her long hair had been intentionally styled, and with the crystal princess crown on her head, she looked stunning and radiant.

After entering, Fleur first greeted Mr. Nicolas and Mrs. Perenelle before walking to Arthur's side with a smiling face, linking her arm with his.

Seeing the beautiful couple standing before them, the two old couples were very happy.

"Alright, let's go."

Nicolas said, and the house-elf immediately led them to the location where the carriages were parked.

Two very luxurious carriages were already waiting there, each with two Winged Horses in front.

Arthur and Fleur boarded one carriage while Mr. Nicolas and Mrs. Perenelle took the other.

Sitting in the carriage, Arthur curiously asked Fleur, "Do you know where the summit is being held?"

"It's in a Great Hall at our Beauxbatons. This time, I can take you to a tour our school as well,"

Fleur happily told Arthur. She had wanted to take Arthur to Beauxbatons for a while, but there hadn't been an opportunity until now.
