Childhood sweethearts are magic sticks [Comprehensive Yingmei]

The process of making the 'Felix Elixir' is very complicated, and there are almost strict regulations on the date of making it.

The start date must be the first day of the month, and the end date must be the midnight of the middle of the month.

During this period, no matter it was the potion base juice that was boiled on the first day and sealed tightly in the basement.

Or the drop of unicorn blood in the crystal vial that Ruth carried around her chest, wrapped in a red silk locket.

Same as her mouth.

- Can't 'open'.

All require the utmost care from the potion maker.

Because of its requirement, the potion maker who carries the 'Unicorn Blood' used to make the 'Felix Elixir' cannot say a single word until the blood is dripped into the potion base under the moonlight in the middle of the month.

So, this means that Ruth can't say a word until the day the potion is successfully made.

The inability to speak also means that she will not be able to operate her 'divination hut' normally for half a month.That was Ruth's only source of income, and it was also the source she used to pay for the Parker family's food every month.

Fortunately, all this was resolved with Peter's help.

Regarding the time issue, Luckily, the day Ruth asked Tessa to deliver the letter happened to be the night before the beginning of the month, and the potion boss was very efficient, sending what she needed before midnight that night. All the potion ingredients were sent back.

Logistics in the wizarding world has always been more efficient than in the No-Maj world.

And the most precious potion material needed is 'a drop of unicorn blood'.

Before Ruth sent the letter, she was slightly worried about whether it would be out of stock.

——After all, 'unicorns' exist as protected magical creatures in the magic world. Although their blood is an essential material for many advanced potions, the Ministry of Magic prohibits any wizards in the magic world from hunting in any form , captivity, taking blood by abnormal means.

Only if you happen to come across a wounded unicorn, can you take some blood from his side.

So there are often 'potion dealers' who go to various enchanted forests to try their luck to see if they can find a wounded unicorn.They carry 'high-purity crystal vessels' with them, ready to be collected at any time.

And Ruth, who has been unlucky for several months, seems to have finally exploded her accumulated character. She happened to buy the last drop of 'unicorn blood' left in the store, no more, no less, and it happened that she made two bottles' Amount of Felicia' needed.

In the letter, the potions merchant specially attached a card for her.

I praised how lucky Ruth was at the right time to buy the materials.

Ruth was also reminded.

'No matter what potion you want to use, please be careful and careful when using it. '

'Because in the next few days, at least for a month, we will no longer buy unicorn blood in our store, the material is precious, please use it carefully. '

'Once it fails, it cannot be replenished. '

His reminder was very important, which made Ruth cherish the potion very carefully after she got it. She carefully put the silver unicorn blood into the crystal that had been boiled in boiling water and dried naturally without any raw water in its body. bottle' inside.

Then a thin red thread passed through the cork sealed on the mouth of the bottle and hung it around the neck. The 'crystal bottle' was just big enough to hold a drop of blood.Such a small bottle was filled with a silver liquid, and it looked very beautiful when hung on Ruth's chest, like a silver pendant.

Although the production requirement was only for the potion maker to carry it with him, due to its preciousness, Ruth had to put it in the safest and most perceivable part.

The price of such precious and difficult to obtain potion ingredients must be expensive.

A drop of unicorn blood almost used up all the banknotes that Ruth had saved in recent days, and after purchasing all other materials, there was nothing left in her hands.

Not even money to buy a bottle of milk.

Fortunately, the Parkers never actually wanted to take any of Ruth's money.

They have always regarded Ruth as a relative, and the reason why they accept the "food expenses" handed in by her every month is just to make Ruth feel more at ease when eating at home, and will not feel dependent or uncomfortable. I owe them their feelings.

Of course Peter knew what the Parkers were thinking, so when Ruth asked her to convey to the Parkers his apology for not being able to pay the money on time, Peter agreed wholeheartedly, but he didn't intend to tell the Parkers about it in his heart.

He was more concerned with another matter.

"Since this... uh, 'Felix Elixir'? Yes, this potion is so difficult to make, and the requirements are so complicated and demanding, I wonder if there will be any consequences if it fails?"

Peter frowned. He hadn't let go of Ruth's hand, and his eyebrows hadn't been smoothed since Ruth started talking.

"as a result of?"

Ruth felt a 'thump' in her heart. She wasn't quite sure what Peter meant, so she hesitated and picked up what she could answer.

"The consequence is that the potion failed. We can't get the 'Felix Elixir', and the materials needed for this potion are very difficult to obtain. I don't know when I will have to wait for the next chance. I can't fail, Peter."

"We cannot afford to fail."

Ruth told Peter seriously.

"I know you can't fail, I know it's precious, but that's not what I'm asking."

Peter looked a little agitated, an emotion he rarely showed in front of Ruth.

"I'm asking if there will be any other harm to you."

He explained to Ruth what Ruth had misunderstood.

"I've seen a lot of movies and novels about 'wizards', and I've also checked a lot of information and literature about 'wizards' and 'magic'."

He said that he had checked relevant information, and Ruth always thought that Peter didn't believe it, and he wasn't interested in it.

"Yes, maybe once, every time you went to that 'Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry', I didn't take these things seriously. But just... right after you lost your magic power, I did realize that the original 'magic ’ really exist in the real world.”

His tone revealed countless annoyance and loss. When Peter mentioned "Ruth lost her magic power", his eyes that were looking directly at Ruth were staggered. When people feel ashamed and feel owed something, they have a guilty conscience. of.

unable to face each other.

Ruth sensed his guilt, but also his nervousness.

She suddenly understood that perhaps Peter was more concerned about it than she was about losing her magic power.

Although it took Ruth a whole summer vacation to adjust her mentality after losing her magic power, judging from Peter's current performance, it seems that he has not yet accepted this fact.

Accept the fact that she lost her magic because of his mistake.

"I did a lot of homework, and I also tried to find ways to restore the 'magic power' for you, but I didn't find any. But about the 'potion', I actually found a lot of related records in the book, just It's like alchemy."

It is the same?

Ruth was puzzled, she actually didn't understand 'alchemy', for her, she only understood what is magic.

But she didn't interrupt Peter aloud, just listened to him quietly.

He seemed to have held these words in his heart for a long time.

"Whether it's 'potion', 'alchemy' or 'curse', their relevant records are almost the same, and once they fail, there will be almost counterproductive effects on potion makers."

Peter was a little hesitant when he spoke, and it was also a little difficult to speak, as if the content of the next words was terrible.

"'Curse' will backfire on the caster."

Ruth nodded.

"'Alchemy' creates horrible creatures."

Ruth still nodded.

"What about 'potion'? What about 'divination'? Do they all have a disadvantage, and will they cause you any harm if they fail?"

Ruth's habitual nod this time was stuck by her, and she raised her head that was almost lowered abruptly.

She looked at Peter.

The more Peter spoke, the more irritable he became. He was unnatural and restless.

He looked a little scared.

Ever since he mentioned Ruth's "lost magic power", he has been in this state, and the more he talked, the more disturbed he became.

Peter, who was worried about her and afraid of her being hurt, didn't make Ruth feel any happiness and sweetness. Instead, because of Peter's uneasy state, she didn't dare to tell Peter about the "side effects" recorded in the book.

However, in the book about 'side effects', the content is vague, and there is no exact description of the adverse effects, and what kind of backlash will be received if it fails.

It was explained in such a way that Ruth had a guess.

——Could it be because the producers of the 'Felix Elixir' have almost never failed, so they can't write what kind of failure consequences there will be?

Or, in fact, the consequences of failure are not very serious, but I am just afraid that everyone will try to make such a drug, so the author deliberately writes this to scare everyone?

She doesn't quite know.

Even if it was clear, seeing Peter's worried look, she didn't dare to tell Peter in order to make the potion as planned.

"will not!"

Ruth loudly denied Peter's conjecture. She interrupted Peter's words and stopped him from continuing.

"Even if the production of the potion fails, nothing will happen to me. As for the loss of magic power before, it was because I hadn't reached the full age and the magic power was unstable. That happened. It was just an accident."

Ruth shook her head, her usual smile on her tear-stained face.

"There will be no similar accidents happening again. Magic is not as scary as you imagined! You don't have to worry."

She looked very relaxed, and Ruth calmed Peter's restless heart.

But where Peter couldn't see, her hand that wasn't held by Peter secretly clenched her fist.

Can't tell Peter.

Anyway, she is not sure whether there will be a magical backlash.

"really?"

Peter's grip on Ruth was stronger, but he let go only for a moment.

His nasal voice was a bit thick, and the projection of his eyelashes hit his pupils, making it impossible to see his eyes clearly.

"You can't lie to me."

The author has something to say: Captain America and Rocky will be on stage~ The promised baby carriage will be here soon...

I went to see Wang Nan 2 a few days ago, and it was actually not as ugly as the reviews said, but it was pretty good-looking. My Uncle Colin is beautiful!

And Eggy is really cute, sobbing and crying, Merlin is also so cute, the second part of Merlin is really brilliant.
