Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 708: Information
Chapter 709
The first round of the School of Magic Potions Tournament felt more like a practice exam for Albert.
The result is naturally the first.
At this moment, in the referee seat, President Bernard is announcing to everyone that the second round will start in three days.
Although the content of the competition has not been announced, on the way back to the bar, Professor Slughorn told Albert the content of the second round.
"The contestants need to go to the magic garden to collect potion raw materials within 10 hours, and return with the found raw materials within the specified time, and use the found raw materials to make a potion." Slugho Professor En did not forget to exhort, "Most of the players from other schools already know the specific content of the second round. I suggest you leave a way out for yourself first, make sure that the raw materials you have collected can be formulated into a potion, and then go to Consider other issues."
"In addition to collecting the raw materials, you need to leave time to prepare the potion, at least an hour and a half. I have seen people who were eliminated because they didn't have enough time to brew potions."
"I see."
Albert nodded his thanks to Professor Slughorn.
Although he already knew the content of the follow-up competition, Professor Slughorn did his best to help him so that he could win the competition.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a beard and sallow cheeks came to Albert and raised his hand to greet him kindly, "This should be our first official meeting, Mr. Anderson. . I am Damocles, Damocles Belby."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Belby." Albert shook hands with each other.
"Great game, very exciting, you probably didn't notice Bernard's expression!" Damocles was satisfied that Albert crushed the other contestants, "I listened to Hettock Saying you've improved the euphoria, if you use it in a game, I bet Bernard can't find a reason to deduct your points."
"No, if President Bernard doesn't want me to get full marks, I can always find a suitable excuse, and the situation will not change because of something." Albert was not annoyed by the referee's favoritism, his face even There was no change in expression, "Who asked President Bernard's grandson to participate in the competition."
"It seems that you have already guessed the reason." Damocles nodded and said: "Everyone is actually very disgusted with his approach, and many people are waiting to see you take away the golden crucible."
"I'm working on it."
"Britain has been out of the golden crucible for several years, but I believe you will definitely win the final championship." Damocles has confidence in Albert.
"Mr. Anderson, in fact, you don't have to be so humble, you should be more confident, everyone believes that you will bring back the golden crucible for Hogwarts." Professor Slughorn said.
"Long time no see Mr. Slughorn, I thought you had retired." Damocles greeted Mr. Slughorn, and the relationship between the two parties could only be considered normal.
"Dumbledore can't leave for the time being, let me help lead the team." Professor Slughorn warmly invited, "Would you like to sit in the bar for a while, Mrs. Selina is also here, I Remember you know her too."
"No, I have other things to do, so I won't bother you." Damocles declined with a smile, turned his head to Albert and said, "This is a rare opportunity, see more, learn more Learning, you will definitely have many unexpected gains. Especially the library here, any herbalist and pharmacist should not miss it.”
"I will."
Albert just wanted to ask where the library was when Damocles turned away.
"That was Mr. Damocles Belby who invented the wolf's poison just now?"
At the door of the bar, Kathleen led the team over, looked at Damocles' leaving back, and asked Albert curiously.
Although Catherine feels that the wolf poison is too expensive and its effect is a bit tasteless, she also does not deny that this is a great invention across the ages.
"I didn't expect you to know each other."
"Well." Albert nodded and said no more.
In the next few days, Magic Garden will organize a team to take the contestants to visit the greenhouse in the village and introduce the precious plants cultivated in the greenhouse in more detail.
This time, instead of watching from a distance through the glass windows outside the greenhouse, I went directly into the greenhouse to observe and explain at a close distance.
"This is the olfactory grass, an extremely rare and popular magical plant."
The herbalist leading the team is a tall witch, pointing at a plant with copper-like leaves, and introducing to the crowd, "The olfactory herbs are named after the olfactory, and ancient wizards liked to use them as currency. use."
"The olfactory grass in the greenhouse is artificially cultivated, which is very difficult and not easy to survive. At present, there may be only wild olfactory grass in the magic garden in the world. If you encounter a magic garden when you enter the magic garden It, it is best not to pick and destroy it, otherwise you may immediately lose the qualification of the competition." The witch warned.
The main reason for bringing the contestants here is that they don't want to cause damage to some cherished magical plants after entering the magic garden.
"Is there any use for the olfactory grass?" Valeria, a blonde girl from Russia, asked curiously.
"At present, the most well-known use comes from the research of Sigmund Bach, the author of the "Book of Potions", on the olfactory herb, which can be used to brew potential potions." The witch mentioned Sigismund When the name of Butch was used, his expression was particularly complicated. The potential potion invented by Sigismund Butch was one of the reasons that indirectly caused the Smelling Herb to be on the verge of extinction.
When the "Book of Potions" appeared in front of the world, it caused a sensation.
A magical potion that enhances the magical powers of wizards, making it an unparalleled attraction for any pure-blood wizard.
The olfactory grass, which was already on the verge of extinction, completely disappeared from the world, leaving only the olfactory grass in the magic garden.
In order to prevent someone from reaching out to the magic garden, the olfactory grass is regarded as a cherished protected plant by the International Federation of Wizards and is strictly protected, so that this precious plant was finally prevented from extinction.
"Potential Potion?"
The red-haired boy from the US has a weird expression, he knows the potion ~IndoMTL.com~ and even took a bottle.
Potential potions are all good, but the price is too expensive, and now he finally knows the reason.
"Don't try to sniff the magic grass, unless you want to be blacklisted in the magic garden." The witch cast a glance at the red-haired boy and said coldly: "Someone has done this before, but I think he must regret it. "
"No, he has no regrets!"
If the herbal experts here know that the United States has cultivated low-quality olfactory herbs and used them in the production of potential potions, I don’t know what they will think.
Today, Albert has gained a lot of knowledge. In addition to smelling the magic grass, there are also many precious plants.
For example, the "longevity grass" discovered in the Andes plateau in the thirteenth century is said to be one of the main raw materials of the legendary elixir.
type is a bit like ginseng, the main effective part is the rhizome, it is actually more suitable to call it Yanshougen.
"It is said that the Peruvian side has completely disappeared, and currently there are only magic gardens..."
Unfortunately, most of the plants here are endangered plants, so we can only look at them, we can't count on them at all.
