252 Excited
Today's Potions class is held at St. Crayon's House with St. Spade's College, so Repeters is not there.
Brutus attends classes with Hodden and Robben, and Ariel-Catullus is in the classroom - but the chatter is now in complete silence, and since she learns that Potions can't make money, her enthusiasm for the class has plummeted, and she sleeps in every class.
In fact, Brutus also yawned, but his aristocratic education made him unable to sleep in public casually, which also barely got rid of the entanglement of sleepy insects, bored drawing in his notebook, and when he was tired of painting, he exchanged ears with Hodden to pass the time.
But Holden is the only outlier.
The whole class was drowsy, even Professor Seneca was a monk chanting scriptures, but Hodden was always attentive and very serious in every class.
For Howlen, Potions, which can only be talked about on paper now, is still full of great charm, as if breaking into the classroom of Professor Snape of "Harry Potter", through different processing methods of different materials, and finally refining potions with infinite energy, and even being able to bring the dead back to life and change the world, this is really full of incredible magic, even if it is heard as a hearsay, you can also find a special charm.
Let's take today's lesson, for example.
Although the Golden Grass Worm and Tragonma are now very rare, and as Brutus complains, there are no samples in the classroom, but it was the first time that Hoden had heard that refining potions also required consideration of elemental impurities and conflicts, did this mean that the elements also had a principle of mutual restraint?
If this is the case, is it possible to use the principle of mutual restraint to create a greater threat with limited psionic energy?
So far, Holden has had too few top-level psionics to see an attempt at this, but as Professor Bertinos said, don't limit your imagination, anything is possible.
Moreover, Hodden was always a little curious, how should the center pillar of the "Tree of Dawn" survive in the gap between the wisdom of the left pillar and the strength of the right column?
Among the current psionics, the middle pillar seems to have declined, and has been comprehensively overtaken by the left pillar and the right pillar, and has gradually become the golden mean that is not up or down, and has no characteristics, but this should not be the case at the peak of the Cretaceous period, and there must be a strong middle pillar among the tenth-level psionic people.
Hodden couldn't help but speculate that perhaps, the Pillar Psionic had tried to use the principle of mutual reciprocity to broaden the scope and effect of psionic energy.
What's more, it is also very interesting to learn about the customs of the Norsnes continent through Potions. There's more to the ink in Professor Seneca's stomach than just a bunch of potionsβ
Interestingly, the decline of Potions and the rise of psionic food are indirect causal factors that go hand in hand. It is precisely because the convenience and high energy brought by Potions science are gradually disappearing, that psykers gradually begin to try to use spirit plants to cook food, and develop and derive different effects of spirit plants.
Originally, psionics used psionic energy to cook psionic food, but no one cared, and psionic plants were the exclusive material of potions, but now, psykers use psionic plants to cook psionic food, and the few remaining psionic plants will no longer continue to be "wasted" on Potions, but will make full use of the surplus value of spiritual plants.
These historical contexts, which are outside the framework of knowledge, are particularly worth savoring.
Brutus looked at the excited Holden, but after all, he couldn't hold back, and rolled his eyes widely, indicating that he was extremely bored.
"Tragons can't be eaten. If you're curious. Brutus seemed to see through Holden's thoughts, and Shi Shiran teased beside him.
Hodden turned his head, still looking lazy, but the light in his eyes was extraordinarily focused, "How do you know? Maybe you can find a good chef and you can cook a good meal?"
Brutus was immediately choked, and his eyes widened with shock: he was just talking casually, and he didn't expect Hoden to really pick it up?
"Mr. Herlo, Mr. Scott. Professor Seneca's voice swayed from the front, like a turtle that had just woken up, slowly, slowly.
Many of the students woke up from their sleep, and just when they thought Professor Seneca was going to train someone, they all fell through their glasses.
"When we talk, it's quieter, I have a bit of a headache, and I don't really want to use the sound amplification effect to give a lecture. Professor Seneca said unhurriedly.
There is no reprimand, no sarcasm, but sincerely.
Professor Seneca didn't even lift his eyes, the drooping eyelids made it impossible to tell if he was asleep too.
Then, Professor Seneca was about to continue the lecture, but unexpectedly, Horden took the initiative to raise his right hand, "Professor, can I ask a question?"
Professor Seneca slowly raised his eyes and looked at Hoden quietly with an expression like dead fish eyes, as if he was dissatisfied with Hoden's "active questioning", but after all, he still did not open his mouth to scold or refuse.
"Is there a potion that, when consumed, can transform a person into another person?" Hoden asked aloud, "I mean, mixing the potion with other people's hair or fingernails can then make the user transform into the person being imitated, so as to achieve the effect of being fake." β
In fact, it is a "Harry Potter" compound potion.
Hodden was always curious about the polyjuice potion, and his mind was constantly imagining what it would taste like.
Professor Seneca didn't move his eyelids, his face was still full of shock, "The legendary potion does have such a prescription, it can transform you into any image, and it lasts for about thirty minutes to twelve hours, provided that you can obtain the blood of the person being imitated." β
It really exists!
"Does it include animals, or is it only between humans?" and is cross-racial transformation also permissible?" asked Hoden, not suppressing his excitement.
Professor Seneca remained unfazed, and said unhurriedly, "Yes, that's allowed. β
"In fact, with the exception of the spirit animal, a particular species, all cross-race transitions are possible. If you want to transform into a kitten and sneak into your sweetheart's dormitory, that's no problem. The premise is that your sweetheart is a cat lover. β
Quietly, Professor Seneca also showed his cold humor - but his way of speaking was still lifeless and rigid, and his humor did not have any vitality, only Horden laughed alone, and Brutus and Robben next to him looked loveless.
Professor Seneca lifted his eyelids slightly, glancing at Hoden, as if he had finally taken some interest in the curious baby.
