Chapter 426: Bezoar
PS: Regarding bezoar, in the first part, it was translated as "bezoar", but in the sixth part, it was translated as "dung stone", and the plot was directly lost!
And that's not all, the original text is "A. bezoar. Is. A. stone. Taken. From. The. Stomach. Of. A. goat. And. It. Will. Save. You. From. most poisons.” The translation is "Bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a cow and has a strong detoxifying effect. pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info" where "goat" should be goat...... In order to correspond to the "bezoar", the "goat" was changed to "cow".
In fact, bezoar refers to the antidote stone that circulated in ancient Persia, not specifically to a certain substance, just like the definition of "car", one of which is a stone from the stomach of a wild goat.

In addition to Morfin's memories, Harry saw another ...... in Dumbledore
As a young man, Horace Slughorn was surrounded by six or seven boys, all fifteen or sixteen years old, including Riddle, who wore Marvolo's black jewel ring.
"Sir, is Professor Meles retiring?"
"Tom, Tom, I know I can't tell you, I have to say, I want to know where you got your news, kid, you know more than half of the teachers. ”
"You ghost, you can know things you shouldn't know, and you'll be careful to please important people, thank you for your pineapple by the way, you guessed it, this is my favorite ......"
"Sir, I would like to ask you something. ”
"Then ask, kid, ask ......"
"Sir, I would like to ask if you know...... Horcruxes. ”
"I don't know anything about Horcruxes, and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you! Get out of here and don't let me hear you mention this again!"
Dumbledore said that the memory had been tampered with, and that he was ashamed of it, so he had tampered with it to make himself more decent, erasing the parts he didn't want people to see. ”
"Dumbledore has given me an assignment, and trying to get Professor Slughorn to reveal his true memories will undoubtedly be the most crucial piece of information. ”
"Horcrux?" Hermione asked curiously, and Ron had a strange look on his face.
Harry pulled a note from his bosom and handed it to Darren, "Dumbledore asked me to give it to you. ”
After taking it, Darren opened it, and it read, "To the Dark Lord:
I was dead long before you read this, but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret, that I stole the real Horcrux and intended to destroy it as soon as possible, and that I was willing to die in the hope that you would be killed when you met your opponent. ”
At the end of the note, it was the payment, R.A.B., of course Darren knew who it was, Regulus, this was after the Slytherin locket box was found at 12 Grimmauld Place that year, he and Harry followed Dumbledore and Black to the great lake by the sea to retrieve it, and they were taken away directly, and they didn't let them see it, saying that they "will tell it at the right time", it seems that it is now.
"Did Dumbledore tell you what a 'Horcrux' is?" asked Darren, handing the note to Hermione.
"He said it was very evil stuff, very evil. ”
"Why would Dumbledore look for 'real memories' when he already knew that what Riddle and Slughorn were talking about that night was a 'Horcrux'?" asked Hermione, reading the note and reading the note.
Looking at Harry's blank expression, "Details," Darren replied for him, "Even if Dumbledore knew that there was such a thing as a Horcrux and wanted to figure out the specific situation, the more details he needed, the better, especially something like 'memory', which could unearth a lot of information." ”
For example, the characteristics of the Horcrux, and how many of them are......
"You can stay after Potions class today and ask Professor Slughorn, he might tell you," Ron said, and Harry looked at Darren and Hermione.
Hermione shook her head, "You can try," while Darren shrugged, "There's nothing to lose anyway, at least you can tell Dumbledore to try." ”
"Okay......" Harry said hesitantly.
After Potions class, Harry came to the Gryffindor common room with a depressed face, "It's useless," and he slumped into his seat, and Hermione and Ron, who came back in front of him, didn't react, much to Darren's surprise.
"What's wrong?"
"After the Potions class, I stayed at the end, and only Professor Slughorn was left in the classroom, and when I asked him if he knew about the 'Horcruxes', he froze for a moment, as if he didn't hear clearly, and said 'what did you say'. ”
I repeated the question, asking him if he knew about the Horcrux, and Slughorn was filled with shock and horror, sweat on his forehead, and he asked if Professor Dumbledore had shown me the memory. ”
"I said yes, and he said, 'If you look at the memory, you'll know that I don't know anything about Horcruxes,' and he repeated the words vigorously, grabbing the dragon-skin briefcase, shoving the handkerchief back into his pocket, and heading out of the basement classroom. ”
"I tried to ask him if he might still have a little bit in his memory, but he yelled, 'Then you're wrong, you're wrong,' and slammed the door and left. ”
However, Harry's account did not cause much reaction other than Darren, and neither Ron nor Hermione was sympathetic.
"In Potions class, what's wrong?" Darren asked Hermione in a low voice.
Hermione glared at Harry fiercely, "Today is about antidotes, according to the theory that the antidote to mixed poisons is greater than the sum of the antidotes of each individual ingredient, use Scarping's manifestation charm to correctly analyze the composition of the potion, and then find another substance that can transform various unrelated ingredients through a process that is close to alchemy......"
"That, Hermione!" Darren pitifully interrupted the energetic student, "I didn't sign up for Potions class this year, can you not be so professional......"
"Who made you lazy!" Hermione looked dissatisfied, "Professor Slughorn asked each of us to make an antidote to the poison, Harry will definitely not make the antidote, because there is a smell of rotten eggs coming out of his crucible, and even Slughorn is choking and coughing, but ......"
"Detoxification?" At this time, Darren suddenly remembered something, "Wait, I seem to have heard that there is something that can detoxify, a long time ago, when I still remember to get a few pieces to prepare, I am not afraid of poisoning, what is it?"
"Bezoar," Hermione was a little surprised to see Darren's appearance, and was no longer as excited as she was just now, "That's what Harry did, he handed over a bezoar, and Slughorn praised him for his independent spirit, which is cheating!"
"However, didn't you take Potions class, how do you know about the bezoar?"
"Well, I'm thinking," Darren cupped his forehead, "since I'm not ready yet, it must have been before the second grade, and I was short on money at that time, otherwise I would have bought it earlier...... Ah, come to think of it, it was our first Potions class, do you remember?"
"First Potions lesson?" Harry and the others all looked strange, although Darren said it was a long time ago, but it was too long.
"First Potions lesson, Bezoar," Hermione recalled with a frown, "Oh, I remember, it was Snape who said that," he said to Harry, "In the first lesson, he asked you three questions, and one of them was about Bezoar, which had a very strong detoxifying effect, and he said so. ”
