Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 517 Potential potion

  The difficulty in making potential potions is actually phantom smelling grass.

   This magic plant, which was once used by wizards as currency, was already a very rare magic plant in the era of Sigismund Bach.

  After Zygmunt Bach researched the potion potential of phantom-smelling grass, he kicked this precious magic plant to the brink of extinction.

  Four centuries later, wizards can only see phantom smelling grass in the magic gardens of Europe.

  Actually, wizards have also studied how to grow phantom smelling grass. After all, if there is money, there is a market, and if there is a market, people will try it, just like breeding rune snakes to sell snake eggs.

  However, even the herbalists of the magic garden have never mastered the method of growing phantom smelling grass. This magic plant is quite delicate.

American herbalists once spent a lot of money to "acquire" several phantom-smelling grass seedlings from the magic garden. They spent a lot of manpower and material resources to feed them, but the planting failed because the phantom-smelling grass leaves and Does not shine like copper.

  What they planted was not phantom smelling grass, but some kind of strange plant.

   Later, alchemists took those strange plants to study, and finally obtained some extracts from the liquids of those plants, and through the hands of potionists, they made potions of potential.

  Nicholas told Albert about the history of potential pharmaceuticals in the United States, and he was one of the participants.

  The most ridiculous thing is that the law of the Magical Congress of the United States prohibits the manufacture of potions of potential, but the senior officials of the Magical Congress at that time knew about this, and secretly supported this experiment with a pot of money, which is said to have cost more than 10,000 dollars.

   That was thirty years ago.

   At that time, Grindelwald made a mess of Europe, otherwise it might not be possible to get the seedlings of phantom smelling grass.

   "Potential potion is banned by the magic world?" Albert guessed the reason.

"Yes, it is prohibited, and it is a felony. According to the laws of your British magic world, it is the kind that will go to Azkaban Prison." Nicholas had a strange expression, "After all, if it is not prohibited, the phantom smelling grass in the magic garden, I'm afraid it will be stolen in a few days."

   "Understandable, so you changed the name to it."

   "Well, it's called a magic power enhancer now." Nicholas said with a smile, "Of course, no one dares to sell it in the open."

"After taking this medicine, the body will experience short-term discomfort, such as fever, weakness, blood vessel expansion, and rapid heartbeat. It requires a certain amount of endurance to bear the pain." He reminded kindly, "Of course, as long as you get through it, you will be fine." gone."

   Albert directly opened the sealing wax and poured the potential potion into his mouth.

  I didn't feel anything at first, but after the medicine entered my throat, it was as if I drank some terrible poison.

   There seemed to be a flame burning in his throat. Albert pinched his neck with his hands and coughed violently.

   Sera raised his eyebrows and looked at Nicholas.

   "This is a side effect of drinking the Potential Potion." Nicholas said calmly: "At the beginning, Catherine was like this."

   Soon, Albert's body temperature began to rise, and Nicholas put a bag of ice on his forehead to cool his head.

  The heartbeat accelerated obviously, and the blood was rushing in the blood vessels. The whole person seemed to be in a raging flame, and there was an illusion that he was about to ascend directly to heaven.

   This terrible feeling lasted for about ten minutes before it gradually weakened and finally returned to normal completely, but Albert's body and clothes were completely wet with sweat.

   "The reaction after taking the Potential Potion was a bit intense." Albert took a deep breath, "I almost thought I was going to die."

   "The effect should be very good!" Nicholas asked.

   "Effect?" Albert felt the changes brought about by drinking the potion, fiddled with the void a few times, and a ball of light floated above his palm, "The magic power has indeed become stronger."

  No wandless spell!

  Nicholas' eyes couldn't help but narrowed. Although the Luminous Curse was a simple spell, many famous wizards couldn't do it to Albert's level.

   "Looks like it's working fine."

"No, I can only say that the effect is not bad. My own magical power is stronger than most wizards." Albert extinguished the light ball in his hand, "I'll talk about things later, I'll take a bath first, so Very uncomfortable."

   "I have asked Jack to prepare it for you." Nicholas said.

  The bathroom here is huge, expanded by the Untraceable Stretching Charm, much like the Hogwarts prefects' bathroom. The water temperature was just right, and Albert lazily leaned against the edge of the bath, opened the skill panel, and checked the effect of taking the potential potion.

  In fact, after taking the Potential Potion, he really felt that when he was using magic, his magic power had become significantly stronger.

   It's a surprise that the wizard's bloodline has reached level five, but the fifth level of skill doesn't seem to be the peak.

  If he didn't use skill points, he really didn't dare to think about how much experience an ordinary level 5 skill would consume, it would be a bottomless pit.

  Although the magic power has indeed become stronger, the personal strength has not become much stronger. You still need to master more magic and carry out professional training.

   When she came out of the bathroom, Serra was chatting with Nicholas in the hall, and Catherine also came, looking up and down at Albert curiously, as if she wanted to see something from him.

   "You are also good at potions?" She asked suddenly.

"good."

"I've already prepared the ingredients for Buffy's Brain Refreshing Potion for you." Catherine still doesn't quite believe that Albert will be able to refine the Buffy's Brain Refreshing Potion. In a sense, the difficulty of this thing is even higher than Fuling's. The dosage is still high.

   "I have Mr. Hetok Dagworth's improved formula here." Albert noticed the confusion in the eyes of several people, but he didn't hide it. "I gave him some suggestions last time."

   "Are you advising a potions master?"

  Catherine couldn't believe her ears.

   "What, is there a problem?"

"no problem."

   "This potion should actually be considered as being improved, and the materials are slightly different." Albert picked up the quill and wrote the required materials on a piece of parchment.

  Catherine picked up the parchment, glanced at it and said, "Wait a moment, I'll prepare it for you."

   After finishing speaking, she turned and left.

"You want to follow Nico's path?" Nicholas also realized something, and reminded with a frown, "Nico's success is because he has the Philosopher's Stone and enough time, so he can be proficient and even achieve extraordinary achievements in many fields." Achievement."

   "Many people have said this to me." Albert took a sip of black tea and said calmly, "Actually, I never thought of becoming the next Nico."

  Nicholas looked at Serra, he hoped that the other party would persuade Albert well.

   "Actually, Albert has only been in contact with the magic world for a few years. He is the most talented wizard in hundreds of years." Serra explained, "So, I believe he has such talent and ability."

   "A few years, it's impossible, you mean he is a No-Maj wizard?" Nicholas was a little dazed, unable to understand why Wild Smith's heir would become a No-Maj wizard?

"Actually, I don't quite understand this matter, but Albert is indeed the heir of Wild Smith. He is here, and signing a contract with your granddaughter is the best proof." Sera actually didn't know, but Later, I simply didn't think about it. It didn't matter to him whether Albert was a Muggle wizard or not.

   "Will a wizard marry a No-Maj?" Nicholas had already made up his mind automatically.

   It is indeed impossible in the American magic world, but Albert was born in England. In the British wizarding world, wizards are allowed to marry No-Majs, so it's not surprising that they grew up in the No-Maj world.
