Algebra, VIII, p. 312, § 16. Other Descriptions of the Brauer Group

Let G be a finite group. Let L be a Galois algebra over the field K with group G, and let K′K' be an extension of K. Then the (K′,G)(K',G)-algebra L(K′)L_{(K')} is a Galois algebra over K′K'.

We use property (v) in Theorem 2 by observing that if the K-algebra L is étale, then the K′K'-algebra L(K′)L_{(K')} is too (V, §6, No. 5, p. 32, Corollary 2), that we have the equality [L(K′):K′]=[L:K][L_{(K')}: K'] = [L : K], and that the ring of invariants of G in L(K′)L_{(K')} is (LG)(K′)(L^G)_{(K')}, where LGL^G is the ring of invariants of G in L.

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
