Chapter 19 I hate the surname Blake the most

"Aconitum heads, flaming ash snake eggs, bicorn horns, armadillo bile, African tree snake skins, horned camel horns, lionfish backbone meal, unicorn horns and tail hairs......" Daniel quickly memorized the names of the most commonly used potion materials.

Then, in a very sincere tone, he said, "Common potion materials, I can supply them at cost price for a long time." Rare and rare potion materials can also be supplied to you first...... However, can you allow me to purchase and recycle the medicine you made? Of course, you have the final say on the price of the finished product......" He looked at Lucius and added knowingly, "I mean the American market." ”

"Deal."

Almost without even thinking about it, Snape simply agreed, such an act did not look like a Slytherin.

But Daniel noticed Lucius' very normal expression and couldn't help but speculate that the Potions Master's personality might be ...... It's not as weird as rumored to be.

Those rumors...... Maybe it's because he's put all his passion and energy into potions and ...... The reason for Mrs. Potter's lack of interest and disdain in the affairs of the outside world?

"But have you forgotten to tell me...... Snape reminded him softly in a deep, silky voice, "how did my potion recipe get to America?" ”

"Uh......" Daniel was suddenly called back from his daze.

Slightly embarrassed, he also wanted to laugh as he answered the Potions Master's question, "Actually, I just wanted to talk to you...... What a ...... is your habit of keeping track of potion recipes It's speechless. He scratched his head, a little unsure of how to describe it, so he had to ask directly, "Do you remember that many years ago, there was a very famous best-selling Potions series called "Traveling with the Crucible"? ”

Professor Snape narrowed his eyes and thought hard.

Half-loud, his thin lips raised slightly, outlining a sarcastic arc, "If you call that kind of 'imaginary novel that a troll drank an aphrodisiac and pulled out with its big paws' a potions series. Yes, I remember. ”

Daniel choked.

But after considering that 'the author is not me anyway', he smiled indifferently and continued: "Yes, it's the magic ...... Uh, the book, anyway, you made a lot of annotations on that set of books. ”

(In fact, it wasn't a commentary at all, and every page of the book was densely written, filled with vicious ridicule and ridicule of the author, and, on the grounds of 'avoiding eating the dead', was marked with all sorts of correct potion recipes.)

Professor Snape had a vague impression.

He does have a habit of taking notes while reading a book (in the original books, Harry Potter was almost considered a Potions genius with one of his old textbooks of the Half-Blood Prince).

Back then, when he saw the 'Potions series' books, he bought them because they were best-sellers, but what he never expected was that the potions recorded in them were simply ridiculous and ridiculous.

He couldn't stand it (maybe he was really afraid of 'eating the dead', who knows?). )。 Anyway, he refuted them one by one, and also listed the correct methods next to him.

At that time, he was still young, ambitious, ambitious every day, and fantasized about making a career (prove it to Lily, let her know that she was right), and let everyone see what he was capable of.

Even, he once thought about taking this opportunity to publicly expose the low level of this author, so as to make a name for himself, but the plan is not as fast as the change......

Later, the mystery man, the Death Eaters, and a series of events overwhelm him.

He had no intention of dealing with the matter anymore until the mysterious man disappeared and the dust settled...... The deep guilt and guilt made him even less in the mood to care about other things.

Lily...... is no longer there, and fame and fortune are no longer in his heart.

That set of books, I don't know where to throw them for a long time, maybe ...... Was it a certain time when you were irritable and disposed of the garbage?

But what I didn't expect was that after a few years, I actually got the news of that set of books.

The set of things that he abandoned was enshrined as a treasure in another strange country?

How ridiculous?

However, there is still a faint sense of acknowledgement in my heart.

Nothing satisfies his pride more than the fact that the garbage I threw away was picked up and cherished by others.

It's just that this glory came too late.

Even if I feel a little relieved, I have a hint of joy to be recognized......

But recently, the Potions Master, who has always been immersed in sadness and despair, and can't extricate himself, has not soothed the expression on his face, and he is still that gloomy appearance.

This made Daniel very nervous when he spoke.

Because he was embarrassed to explain the most important issue of 'because the professor did not register a patent, and he wrote it in a book, and the recipe is now well known, it may be more troublesome in terms of royalties'.

However, although he was poor when he was a child, Professor Snape, who had no concept of economics in his bones, only nodded rather coldly, indicating that he did not care.

Instead, Lucius discussed with Daniel a few words about the concept of copyright and patent.

Forget that the British wizarding world not only does not have the Inheritance Act, but also does not seem to have much concept of patents.

Under the Department of Magical Sports Affairs, there is a department called the Funny Product Patent Office.

Daniel has never understood this, and there is no law on some magic paraphernalia and potion recipes.

Maybe it's because the wizards are so confident in their 'magic prop making method' and 'potion recipe' that they don't think anyone will understand it? So it won't be leaked, and there is no value in patent law or something?

In short, since the professor is 'legally illiterate', the most important question is that it is easiest to fool the past.

Daniel breathed a sigh of relief at this, knowing that a few years ago, the professor's potion recipe was like a street advertisement, and it could be said that everyone in the second world (i.e., the American paranormal world) was well known...... Defending one's rights can be a nuisance.

After explaining this, he was finally able to get down to business.

So, he placed a large number of orders, such as euphoric potions, blood tonics, palliative potions, wolf β–‘β–‘ potions, and so on.

Lucius looked at this scene thoughtfully, "You really surprised me, dear Daniel. ”

"As I said a long time ago, the market for potions in the United States is vast, and everyone has just faced up to the miraculous effects of potions...... By the way, Professor, do you want to consider skilled immigration? Daniel turned his head and asked with great interest: "We have a super generous salary, we have a car, a house and a real room, you just need to make potions seriously." ”

Professor Snape, accustomed to being treated with suspicion, suspicion, and even disgust, was suddenly admired, welcomed, and invited......

He was a little uncomfortable for a moment, "What? ”

"Immigrants, you're a potions master! It's a popular destination no matter where you go! Do you tweet? Seriously, you should really sign up for an account, and you're sure that there will be more than 10,000 followers that day, and the enthusiastic girls will cry and shout for a date and beg for a ......."

The U.S. Ministry of Magic, the temporary external liaison officer, Daniel, who can get a large sum of money for every time he convinces (fools) a talent to become a naturalized U.S. citizen, accidentally says high.

He didn't notice the confused expressions of the two native British wizards, and took out his mobile phone, and gestured with his eyebrows: "...... Look, look, even though you don't have a Twitter account...... Damn, there's no internet in the wizarding world in the UK...... But it's okay, here's the picture I took earlier. Seriously, I did a lot of preparation before I came back to see you, but I didn't expect you to be such an amiable person...... You see, this is the sincere cry of the girls below after the Second World Times magazine published your photo...... What do you think of this, insisting on writing you love letters every day, blonde hair and blue eyes, enthusiastic and hot, she announced the measurements and contact information in her message; And this...... It is said that she is a rich Chinese, and she left a message saying that she is willing to spend 500,000 US dollars to spend the night with you, and is willing to send you a private messageβ–‘β–‘......"

'Amiable? Who? Snape? Half a million dollars for a night? ’

Lucius's expression was hard to describe, he put his hand on his forehead, and sat on the sofa next to him, feeling like a dream, not knowing what to say.

Perhaps, in his mind, the American wizarding world has become a very magical place......

"......" Professor Snape looked at Daniel a little dazed, his expression a little complicated.

Although he is arrogant and confident, and he called himself the 'half-blood prince' when he was young, he has been used to obscurity for so many years, and suddenly he suddenly knows that he is actually a celebrity abroad? Still sought after by many people?!

"Would you like to consider taking a look?" Daniel blinked at him with blue eyes.

"Shut up, Blake."

Eventually, Professor Snape finally frowned and stopped Daniel's noise pollution: "Britain is fine, I don't plan to leave the UK." And ......"

He smiled at the corners of his lips, and even glared at him with a hateful gaze, "When did I agree to your order just now?" I hate the surname Blake the most. Moreover, since you said that the price of the finished potion is up to me, I think it would be appropriate to sell the potion to the 'noble' Black family ten times the price in the future. ”

Daniel was confused by the malice that came to his face, and just now he felt that it was very smooth, "The professor is very easy to talk to", "The professor is not very vicious", "The professor is still very reasonable......

As a result, at the last moment, Professor Snape delivered him the fatal blow.

He was stunned for a moment, remembering the two or three things about the school career of a rebellious cousin and professor...... Oops, angered...... Silently stuff your heart!

He thought for a while, but still raised his head bravely, met the professor's gloating and playful gaze, blinked his blue eyes, and said in a cheerful tone: "Then when I inherit the Black family, I will change my surname!" How about changing the surname to Snape? ”

Then, cautiously, he asked, "Do you feel kind?" Can potions be sold cheaper? ”

Lucius coughed violently.

For the first time, Professor Snape was speechless, glaring at him viciously with black eyes.

Probably trying to convey the meaning of 'I've never seen such a brazen person'??

But whatever! Anyway, I didn't plan to be trapped in the British wizarding world, the Black family or something, but it was never my responsibility. ’

Daniel thought optimistically.
