Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts.

Chapter 154 The real brave man

There is a Muggle proverb: pick up sesame and lose watermelon. Rice thinks this sentence is very suitable to describe those who use the magic stone to turn stone into gold.

You can refine the magic stone, but you are still short of money? Les found it incredible.

Potions masters and apothecaries who are skilled enough make money at a rate that depends only on their conscience.

If he was black-hearted enough, Rice could even sell the special medicine to treat Astoria to Mr. Henry for a thousand galleons per shot. He could only pay the money because he was the only one in the magic world who had the ability to treat Astoria. It's really not a problem for Tolia's illness to bring the Greengrass family's financial situation back to that of the Weasley family.

However, the process of turning stone into gold was caught in his eyes, which confirmed his suspicion. The potion turned [stone] into [gold]. Now Les suspected that this potion could also turn something else into nourishing souls. of nourishment.

Now, it's time to conduct the final step of the experiment, which is what every potion master is destined to do - test the potion.

Les poured the potion from the crucible in front of him into a goblet, shook it slightly in his hand, and watched the blood-like liquid swirl in the cup.

After pondering for two seconds, he drank the potion in one gulp.

After entering the mouth, a strong smell of blood filled his mouth, which even made Les feel as if he had really taken a big sip of blood.

After the elixir fell into his stomach, Les felt as if his stomach was on fire. It took a few minutes for it to gradually subside, and was replaced by a warm current rushing toward his brain.

'It is the protection of the soul. 'Les immediately found the way the magic stone makes people immortal: it will form something like a protective coating around the human soul, which will protect the human soul from the erosion of time. As long as the soul can stay young forever, With the wear and tear of time, that person will not die.

But the problem is that the liquid only protects the soul, but cannot prevent the aging of the body. Rice estimates that the body of people who take the elixir for a long time will eventually age to an alarming degree. At that time, life was worse than death.

Les rubbed his chin with his fingers and showed a thoughtful expression: It seems that this method of immortality is not as good as the method he invented.

At this time, his thoughts on deriving the magic stone backwards suddenly faded a lot. In his opinion, it is nothing more than converting other types of elements into soul-nourishing elements through magic circles. After studying it for a period of time, he will most likely be able to reproduce it. If it goes well, it will take a few years; if it doesn't go well, it may take decades or hundreds of years.

After cracking the secret of the Sorcerer's Stone, Les was in a good mood and even ran outside the secret room to bring some food to Sister Daphne - the two of them were now working harder than the other, and the two sisters were involved in each other.

That's a good thing, according to Rice.

For a time, the three young wizards in the castle who were recognized by the founder began to study hard.

Time flies by, and soon, the full moon night is coming.

The public opinion that had calmed down began to boil again. Wizards in the British wizarding world were eager to know, Henry or Lockhart, whose humanoid restoration spell was effective, and whether Lockhart was a liar?

But at this critical juncture, the Ministry of Magic was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Quite simply, they couldn't find any werewolves who volunteered to participate in this experiment, except for the unlucky guy who had been working in the "Werewolf Support Service" established by the Ministry of Magic.

Yes, an experiment intended to cure werewolves could not recruit werewolf volunteers.

The reason is also very simple. The discrimination against werewolves in the magical world is extremely terrifying, and almost no employers will hire werewolves as employees. Once a werewolf reveals his identity, a contract termination letter will be waiting for him, without exception. However, due to conventional rules, employers will not publicize the werewolf status of fired employees - this is to prevent the wolf personnel who are in desperate situations after being exposed from being infected from being infected, and it is a tacit understanding to keep each other safe.

The fired werewolf employees can still continue to find jobs and earn a living. Although their lives are a little more miserable, they can still survive.

But the werewolf who participated in the experiment of the Ministry of Magic is different. The popularity of this experiment is too high. His werewolf identity will almost certainly be spread throughout the magical world, and his living environment will become extremely harsh in the future.

If the experiment succeeds and he is successfully cured, it may be okay, but if the experiment fails...

The werewolf's already poor life was destroyed accordingly.

You know, the Ministry of Magic has indeed created several positions specifically reserved for werewolves, but almost all werewolves would rather wander than work as civil servants in the Ministry of Magic. The reason is that after you join the job, the discriminatory gaze will follow you throughout your life. Very few werewolves who hold this position live long lives, and may not even outlive their wandering counterparts.

This is why the Ministry of Magic has been unable to find volunteers.

Minister Fudge once toyed with the idea of ​​bringing out the werewolves imprisoned in Azkaban Prison to serve as volunteers, but this proposal met with a tsunami of opposition and protests.

There were so many people who opposed it that Fudge was sure that if he passed the resolution in the morning, he would be kicked out of the Minister of Magic's office in the afternoon.

The reason why so many people oppose it is simple. If the werewolves living in the dark corners of the wizarding world deserve a little mercy, then the werewolves in Azkaban are undisputedly the worst offenders.

The werewolves imprisoned in Azkaban all have records of actively harming others. They are true anti-wizard social elements. During the first wizarding war, a large number of werewolves joined Voldemort and infected other wizards for him, so ordinary You can imagine how much wizards hate them.

Most Ministry of Magic employees think about the werewolves in Azkaban: Why haven't the dementors sucked them to death yet? Treating them for lycanthropy seemed extremely absurd to them, which was why Minister Fudge was so outraged.

Without werewolf volunteers, this incident made Fudge very worried. Finally, he came up with an impossible solution: publish a newspaper to find the person.

This move was ridiculed by many people. They thought it would be impossible to recruit anyone, even Cornelius Fudge himself thought so. The result was beyond their expectation, someone actually stood up.

Remus Lupine knocked on the door of Dumbledore's office with a volume of the Daily Prophet.

When Dumbledore heard that Lupine had decided to volunteer for the Restoration Curse experiment, Dumbledore's eyes flashed with shock.

"You are a true Gryffindor, but Remus, you have to think carefully, you may have to pay a price that you will never be able to repay in this life."

Despite his great admiration, Dumbledore still spoke to persuade him, knowing very well what he would face after Lupine made this move.
