Chapter Ninety-Nine
Strictly speaking, Gail and Severus's attitude is already considered rude. But as Grindelwald said before, Severus does have the right to be arrogant, and there is no need to pretend to be gentle and humble in the face of a group of people who are suspicious of him.
"So let's get started!" Gale said in a brisk tone, "In order to correct Severus, please tell me, Mr. President, what should we do next?" ”
Latis, who was almost seventy years old, cleared his throat again with a little embarrassment, and said, "Please Mr. Snape first boil a modified version of the wolf venom and the potion, and my studio can use it for you." He pointed to a small door to the side and said, "I hope you'll allow us to watch." ”
At first, because Gail's disrupted rhythm was back on track, President Latis's request was reasonable, so Gale and Severus did not refuse.
Led by Severus, the members of the Master Guild followed him towards the president's studio, but Gail was still sitting on the sofa with no nature, not only took out a book to pass the time from the space ring, but also took out a bottle of black tea with a heat preservation spell and a plate of butter cookies.
"Won't you go in and have a look?" Bradgery asked, looking at Gale who seemed to be spending tea time in his own home.
Gail shook his head: "Maybe you will be surprised after a while, but when you see the whole process of him starting from boiling into the improved wolf venom and potion, going through thousands of times, and finally successfully brewing the improved version of the wolf venom and potion, there is no interest in going through it again." ”
Bradgery didn't speak, and followed the last Potions Master into the studio. What, you say leaving Gail alone in the president's office would steal secrets? Sorry, but the president's office is for entertainers, and true secrets are not kept in the guild halls where people come and go, even if countless protective spells have been cast here over the centuries.
Severus didn't just use potions to make potions, but also used the essence of medicine extracted by ordinary people in his demonstration of the seven potions masters. This technique made all the masters dumbfounded.
"The substances in some potion raw materials do not play any role in the boiling process themselves, but will also reduce the potency and quality of the potion. This kind of trouble can be avoided through guò refining technology. It's just that before that, a lot of reality is needed to determine which substances are not needed, what must be retained, and what are balanced. Severus said slowly as he finished the potion.
Refining techniques for ordinary people! This answer left the masters stunned again.
Ordinary people have always been stupid, stubborn, backward and ignorant. Their medicines work slowly, and most of the time they even need the body's self-healing function to assist. For the treatment of external injuries, it is necessary to sew the skin together like a cloth, and internal injuries need to expose the internal organs.
How ignorant, backward and barbaric this is! Potions masters have always prided themselves on the fact that their potions can solve most problems. But now, there is a person who has not only shown them an outstanding talent for potions, but also integrated their abandoned ordinary people's pharmaceutical methods into the brewing of potions, making the already miraculous potions even more effective!
President Latis was the first to react, and immediately asked, "How did you come up with the idea of using the rhizomes of the light salt grass instead of the dragon grass seeds?" Also What is the role of Tesla's juice and the mushroom head of the dragon mushroom? ”
Master Visteen followed: "Why remove the soothing grass and daffodil rhizomes?" How do you remove the toxicity of aconite? ”
Gail took the last cookie into his mouth, put away the black tea and empty snack plate, and picked up the half-seen book to pass the time. Listening to the commotion in the studio, it is estimated that Severus will be out for a long time!
The question-and-answer conversation was forcefully interrupted by Gale at noon, who demanded that Severus eat on time. This made another potions master, Chanel, very disagree: "How can you interrupt the study of potions for the sake of such a trivial matter as eating?" Mr. Snape, you don't have to listen to him, let's move on. A few masters also showed a slight expression of agreement.
In terms of Chanel's respectful attitude towards Severus, Gale only replied with a "hehe" and did not say anything that would make the almost eighty-year-old master suffer a myocardial infarction, but Severus's attitude of having regular meals was not negotiable at all.
Severus naturally wouldn't go against Gail's wishes, he cleaned up President Lattis's workbench, carefully cleaned his hands from the powder of materials that might have been left over from the process of boiling potions, and showed his support for Gale with his actions.
As the host, President Latis naturally wanted to entertain Severus and Gael. It's just that when they were eating, Gail and Severus were surrounded by so many people that Gail and Severus weren't very comfortable. No one could stand this kind of meal where every action had to be noticed, and Gail felt a little indigestion deeply.
However, this also reflects the fact that Severus has been shocked and domineering to accept the International Potions Master Association. Gail believes that it won't be long before one of the youngest Potions Masters will be born!
During these days in Paris, Gale and Severus had little time to get around. Severus was dragged by a group of seventy and eighty old fellows to discuss potions every day, and Gale needed to keep an eye on his three meals and sleep times. At most, Gale can only look at the top of the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower not far from the window in his superior suite, which is really depressing and makes people can't help but cry of sympathy - it's so painful to be able to see but not go!
Severus took this opportunity to be recommended by President Latis, and the five Potions Masters guaranteed that he directly conducted the Potions Master Qualification Exam, which would take a year just to register for this procedure. The results are clear.
By mid-August, the latest issue of the International Potions Journal had published Severus's paper, and Gale and Severus were about to meet in England.
Before leaving, Bradgri, President Latis's apprentice, a believer who had already been convinced of Severus, said respectfully, "Soon after you return, we will give you the owl you deserve such as the Potions Master certificate and badge." ”
Gail felt that the people in these guilds were surprisingly simple, as if all their time and energy were spent on potions, so there were very few people with black water in their stomachs. Not that there aren't, but very few.
Well, considering that when Rowling describes the people of this world, most of them have distinct personalities, so it doesn't seem difficult to understand the singleness of these masters at this time.
Gale and Severus had just returned to England when they received a letter from Headmaster Dumbledore, asking to meet with them both. You don't have to guess to know that Headmaster Dumbledore must have met with Grindelwald, and Grindelwald must have betrayed him and Seaver to Dumbledore without reservation, which can be guessed from the fact that Grindelwald is alive and dead from the connection of the two-way mirror - he is weak-minded.
Seeing that Headmaster Dumbledore still looked like a long white beard with a robe of stars and moons, Gale was still a little disappointed. He was really curious about what Headmaster Dumbledore looked like when he was younger!
Headmaster Dumbledore still looked like a smiling elder. He crossed his fingers in front of him and did not reproach Gale and Severus at all: "I have to say, I was surprised, especially when Gai ...... Mr. Grindelwald said to me, "You've known each other for more than a year." And then there's this. He pointed to the International Potions Journal.
Gale was sure that Headmaster Dumbledore blurted out "Gail" or "Gellert" just now, so, in the spirit of not being afraid of death, Gale opened his mouth with a teasing smile on his face: "Headmaster, Mr. Grindelwald calls you 'Al'!" Why don't you also use a more affectionate name? ”
The headmaster let out a cheerful laugh and replied to Gail, "Because of your name, I'm afraid that there will be some misunderstanding when we talk." Speaking of which, I've given him the Ravenclaw crown to purify the soul tablets above. To be sure, this gentle approach would not have caused Voldemort himself to discover that his Horcrux had lost its effectiveness. ”
Gail nodded in agreement.
Dumbledore turned his gaze to Severus, his eyes a little worried: "Then, I have to say, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will have the youngest Potions Master." I am very proud of this as a principal. ”
"Thank you." Severus, as always, was concise to everyone except Gael.
Unlike Severus, Gale was aware of Dumbledore's concerns. Because of Severus's reticence, Gale told the headmaster what he and Severus thought: "Headmaster, you may think that we are too young and vigorous, but I don't think it is a matter of course to slow down our pace and hide what should be a dazzling talent for the sake of a person who is bound to fail. Considering some external factors, it is okay for Severus to establish some prestige for himself now. Moreover, we have the ability to protect ourselves. ”
"I believe that." Dumbledore said, "Gellert told me about your situation. There is one thing that Gellert does not talk about, he has already experienced the awakening of bloodline at a young age. Fifty minutes is a lot of fun, especially since you've messed up the rhythm of his attacks. Although he didn't give his all, you didn't either, did you? ”
"So, who is more powerful than me or Voldemort?" Gail's eyes widened and he looked at Dumbledore expectantly. If he could, he would have gone and killed Voldemort immediately, and it was so bad to live a life in hiding every day!
"If you play against him, you have to pay a huge price if you want to beat Tom." Dumbledore said pertinently, causing the glittering anticipation in Gail's eyes to immediately dim, "Your current magic output and spell proficiency can be said to be on par with Tom. But Tom had been through something. After graduating, he traveled extensively and experienced many life-and-death battles, including with wizards and some dangerous magical creatures of 3x, 4x, or even 5x levels. This is something that cannot be learned in school. Gail, you still need to grow, but you don't need to be in such a hurry. ”。
