Chapter 538: Detoxification

In the glow of the golden flames in the fireplace. Slughorn raised his glass to Ryan and clinked glasses, but Ryan nervously used his ring to activate alchemy to check the contents of the glass as soon as he got it, not even paying attention to the professor's toast. He remembered that in the original text, Slughorn came out with a bottle of poisoned wine.

But Ryan couldn't remember exactly what kind of wine Slughorn had picked in the original text, let alone that there were several bottles of each wine on the table where he had just seen the professor, so he couldn't determine which bottle was poisonous. In such a situation, he can't tell the professor that you have a bottle of wine in it that is poisonous, right?

For the same reason, Ryan naturally couldn't make a big deal of checking whether the wine was poisonous. The ring can only be used to initiate an alchemical examination with very little movement after the wine glass is in hand. However, due to the fear that the change in the plot would make the poison more effective, in order to ensure the safety of everyone present, Ryan took advantage of Slughorn's inattention to open the bottle in front of them, and inadvertently flicked a broad-spectrum antidote pill into the wine bottle that would not cause damage to the human body.

Finally, in the fifth second of getting the wine glass and activating the alchemy, a black light flashed from the ring. He immediately shouted: "Don't drink it, the wine is poisonous." But before he could finish his shout, he heard the sound of a cup falling to the ground.

Ron, who had been snubbed by Professor Slughorn on the one hand, found that he now had the opportunity to drink in the open, and he couldn't wait to drink all the wine in his glass before Ryan shouted a warning, and naturally he became the only one who was tricked.

After being poisoned, his cup slipped out of his hand, and he fell to the ground on the back of his chair. His limbs spasmed violently, his mouth foamed, his eyes bulged out, and his face quickly darkened.

"Ron!" Harry yelled, crouching down to check on Ron, who was twitching at this time, breathing hard, his skin began to turn blue, and at the same time, the blood vessels turned purple on his cyan face. Slughorn, the only adult in the room, seemed stunned, stammering, "How-but-"

"Get out of the way. Ryan pushed Harry aside and half-knelt beside Ron, then pulled out a bottle of glittering potion from the space pouch on his belt and poured it down. This bottle of the highest grade, mixed with the life force, had an immediate effect. After a whole bottle was about to disappear into Ron's mouth, the horrible gurgling of his breathing just now was gone, and his breathing was smooth again, and his body was no longer spasmodic.

Ryan let out a long sigh of relief after pulling out his wand and examining it for a few seconds, he had thrown an antidote into the bottle in advance as a precaution, but in order to ensure that it was harmless, the effect of the medicine was not particularly good. Fortunately, the pill did work, weakening some of the effects of the bottle poison, so don't look at Ron just now, the damage to his internal organs is not serious.

"At least it should be lighter than the original injury, which also means that I have done a good thing. Ryan silently thought in his heart that if Ron died here today or was irreversibly damaged, he felt that he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Taking advantage of the chaos at this time, when everyone was focusing all their attention on Ron, Ryan also quickly used the ring to launch another alchemy circle to eliminate the traces of the antidote in the wine.

"How are you, Ron?" Ryan stepped aside after watching Ron calm down. Harry immediately yelled at Ron's face.

"I felt like I was almost dead. Ron, who had been trying for a long time and half-opened his eyes, said weakly. "Seriously, Harry, this is the worst birthday I've ever had. ”

In the morning, the school hospital is quiet, and the curtains are drawn to let the sunlight shine softly on the patients behind the curtains. Only Ron's bed was full of people. Harry, Hermione, and Ginny were all sitting next to him. They waited outside the door for more than an hour, trying to look inside whenever someone went in or out. Madam Pomfrey didn't let them in until nine o'clock. Fred and George arrived at 10:10 a.m.

"What about Ryan? I must thank him in person for saving our brother. Fred said, placing a large bag on the cabinet at Ron's bedside and sitting down next to Ginny.

"Headmaster Dumbledore approached him, hoping to find out something from him. Hermione shrugged her shoulders a little helplessly, "Because he was already loudly alerting us that the wine was poisonous within seconds of getting the glass, but Ron was in too much of a hurry." ”

"My brother is reallyβ€”" Ginny was the first to know what was going on at the scene, and she stroked her forehead with her hand a little helplessly. "Can't he eat a little slower?"

The Weasleys present felt a little embarrassed as they heard Hermione's words, as they realized that if Ron hadn't been so greedy, they could have avoided the catastrophe.

While everyone was gathering around Ron in the school hospital to discuss today's events, Ryan was being questioned in the principal's office.

"Ryan, how did you find out that the wine is poisonous?" Dumbledore asked seriously as he sat in a chair in the headmaster's room and looked at Ryan across from him.

"Because I've been working on these lately, Professor Dumbledore. Ryan had already prepared the answer. "Ever since the last time Mr. Weasley was bitten by a venomous snake, I've been thinking about rescue after poisoning. At first, I only wanted to make an antidote, but then I found that it was too difficult to require the poisoner to quickly distinguish the effect of the poison and come up with the corresponding antidote at the moment of poisoning, and the production of even the most commonly used broad-spectrum antidote for wizards was surprisingly low. So I wanted to develop an antidote that could be mass-produced enough to fight most of the poisons on the market. ”

With that, he took out a bottle from the space bag and handed it to Dumbledore, the bottle was very small, more than a capsule, with a little colorless and transparent liquid inside.

"In order to make the antidote, I naturally collected a large number of poisons to use as a control. And when I was about to drink today, I smelled the poison in this bottle from the wine glass, and I have to say that the poisoner was very clever and used the sweetness of the mead to cover the bitterness of the poison. At the same time, Filch's detector could not detect poison, allowing him to bring such a dangerous thing into school. Luckily, I've been researching these poisons for a while, so I'm keenly aware of the peculiar bitterness from the rich honey sweetness. ”

"Lucky indeed. Dumbledore took the vial, tapped it with his wand, and said clearly. "But I want you to keep your poison safe and not let anyone else touch it. ”

"Don't worry, Professor Dumbledore. Ryan put away the poison. "I carry this space bag with me to ensure that it is under my management at all times. ”

"That's good. Dumbledore nodded and asked. "May I ask you about the progress of your antidote research? The Death Eaters are people with no moral bottom line, and we will probably need an antidote to deal with the endless poisoning of these Death Eaters. ”

"I did part of it relative to my goal, and after research, I made an antidote that could remove most of the poisons on the market, and this antidote also had a strong alleviating effect on most of the remaining poisons. Ryan was still a little dissatisfied with what he had researched in his free time in the past two years. "The medicine I gave Ron today is the result of my research, and it's not as complicated to make as similar potions. However, a bottle costs more than 30 Galleons, which is not much cheaper than those drugs on the market. ”

"It's already good. Dumbledore said, "I'm willing to buy 40 Galleons from you for a bottle, give me ten first." ”

"All you need to do is give me three Galleons for a bottle. Ryan smiled and declined the headmaster's offer of high price. "But you need to help me find all the raw materials, there are a lot of raw materials that are difficult for me to get by as a little wizard of the hemp seed. ”

"No problem. Dumbledore nodded. "This is what I should do, although you are my student, but I do want to thank you for this, you really helped us a lot. ”

Just as the two of them had finished their business, the fireplace flickered, and the Weasleys stepped out of the fireplace.

"Headmaster, our son Ronβ€”" Mrs. Weasley asked directly at Dumbledore as she burst out of the fireplace.

"He's in the school hospital now, but he's fine. Dumbledore reassured. "And you have to thank Ryan, thanks to him for being able to save your children in the first place today. ”

"Thank you so much, Ryan. After listening to Dumbledore's general explanation of what had happened today, Mrs. Weasley hugged Ryan hard and sobbed. "If it weren't for you today, I wouldn't believe it-"

"It's alright, Mrs. Weasley. This is what I should do. Ryan reassured, "I'm sure that all those who are in a position to help will lend a helping hand when they see this situation." ”
