Chapter 409 The wizard’s experimental methods are a bit too rough


Chapter 409: The wizard’s experimental method is a bit too crude

‘Cost-reducing polyjuice potion? ’

After seeing the normal image of Professor Snape, Andrew finally breathed a sigh of relief and became interested in the potion on the table again.

He knew this potion - a potion in the field of transfiguration, which was often mentioned in reference subjects related to human body transformation. Some books even mentioned that long-term use of Polyjuice Potion may help wizards better learn human transfiguration, but Andrew has never used it and is not sure.

“Interested in Polyjuice Potion?”

Professor Snape's gaze was sharper than Andrew thought - he just stared at it for a moment before the other party raised this question.

"There are some, Professor."

"It's not a mature recipe," Snape shook his head, looking disdainfully at the potions on the table, "In order not to use trees For raw materials such as snake skin, which have been inflated in price, we tried our best to use herbal medicines to make up for it, but lost the The most important specific deformation effect of Polyjuice Potion is that its stability is too poor. Even if I try to modify it, I can only produce a random human-like image."

"A random human-like image. ?”

This word seems to be used very strangely.

"There is only a rough outline of a human being. It is difficult to show a normal human face. Multiple noses or fingers are normal. The producer obviously did not understand the basic logic of polyjuice. He simply replaced some herbs. "Professor Snape didn't have a high opinion of the new potion," but the idea is still advisable. But except for the ideas, he is as lame as a graduate."

The basic logic of potions...

Andrew only feels that he is among the despised people - even the despised ones. He couldn't even replace the ingredients of the potion, let alone master the basic logic of the potion.

Professor Snape said that people who have not mastered this thing are as bad as graduates, which means that the threshold for this thing is to graduate and go up, and he is a third-year honors student. As for the level of magic potion, there is no need to consider this for the time being.

Set a small goal first. If you reach the graduate level before the end of fifth grade, it will be considered a success.

"Okay, let's not talk about this potion that still needs to be studied," Professor Snape shook his head, "Let's talk about the standard experimental procedures first."

'There is no ridicule? ’

Professor Snape’s practice was to use his usual harsh words before class to make all the students fearful - but Andrew did not receive such treatment.

He was a little uncomfortable, and Professor Snape seemed a little uncomfortable too.

But the effect of the class was not bad, and Andrew did not feel annoyed by this procedure, which was more complicated than the laboratory rules.

"Article 1...

...

"Article 15, when conducting experiments, it is absolutely prohibited to use the light source provided by the wand, even for writing.

“Article 16, when in the laboratory, absolutely keep your wand within your sight, but you must maintain the necessary distance from the experimental subject.

“…< br>


"Article 19. When in the laboratory, it is strictly prohibited to eat, use food magic, and use experimental containers to hold or drink drinks."

"Article 20...

" Repeat twenty points above, Taylor. ”

Andrew quickly repeated the above rules, which were not difficult. Professor Lockhart’s legacy is still in effect.

Although he has violated only half of them.


"Okay, let me explain the reason next, and the number of known wizards who died in each project."

A more detailed explanation than in class.

And Professor Snape seems to know this very well - yes, potions can be fatal when they explode, especially if they are cooked incorrectly. It is nothing like exploding a pot of poison. difference.

But after twenty rules, another twenty, and then again. There are a total of 57 necessary rules. Andrew calculated it and found that he made about 17 mistakes.

'I can survive thanks to the small noise I made. This has nothing to do with strength. The old professor can kill half of me...'

But Professor Snape doesn't care about this, he just cares about everything. After the professor taught him once, he asked Andrew to recite the rules again and made sure that he remembered them correctly before continuing with the rest of the lecture.

“I will check before every class to make sure you can recite everything before I continue teaching.” He looked at Andrew and nodded, “This is much better than your performance in Potions class. That’s right, you’ve always been clumsy and unskilled, and you’ve never had any accidents.”

No way, the energy invested in potions is limited, and Andrew doesn’t make any excuses.

“So, taking potions as an example, in this lesson we will talk about the way wizards invent new potions, the most basic and most commonly used way of thinking, the inspiration method.”

? ? ?

What the hell?

Were those fifty-seven detailed rules just now?

Andrew's eyes widened - he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

The rules just now only stipulated how to comb your hair, but you came up with an inspired method?

"Yes, it's what you imagined. Inspiration method. Trust your own feelings and judgment. When you think it's possible, it's better to give it a try instead of denying it."

Professor Snape His face was as calm as ever.

"Talent is a wizard's greatest helper, especially potions. I wish potions became an elective course, because those stupid minds can't understand what a great art this is."
< br>'Not every wizard has to learn to create magic. Medicine, being able to learn how to brew potions stably is of great help to wizards. Even the most skilled wizards cannot do without the help of potions...'

Andrew has a different opinion, but for now it must be retained - —He came to study, not to quarrel with the professor.

"Do you know this herb?"

Professor Snape did not continue, but casually pulled out a small drawer from his wall-full collection and placed it in front of Andrew.

"Sleepy Bean."

Andrew recognized it for a moment and then remembered it. Thanks to the disguised remedial lessons of transforming herbs every morning, his foundation in herbal medicine was not bad.

“What about the treatment method?”

"Slice it and squeeze out the juice."

Professor Adams said - this thing has a strong hypnotic effect and is commonly used in some sedatives.

"The standard method cannot be more standard," Professor Snape nodded, then took out a silver knife from his desk, and just squeezed it easily, and the bean was squeezed out directly. It contains much more water than its volume.

This is normal. Herbal medicine refers to magical plants that can be used as medicine. This method that does not conform to physics is very magical.

“Have you ever thought about it?”

"Can I try it with a copper knife, professor?"

Andrew stared at the remaining beans and asked.

"There is one over there."

The effect is very obvious - it is still the shriveled bean, and it only works on silver knives. Not to mention squeezing it with your hands, it will not work on copper knives.

"This is inspiration," Professor Snape stared at Andrew, "So, study hard and don't waste your inspiration."

Is there a possibility, professor.

It is true that transfiguration is a natural talent, but for this experiment, did I really rely on compulsory education, high school, and university?
