40, transverse apostasy
The level of Aglaia's potions is unbelievable. As soon as she forced it down, Hoffa obtained nearly ninety percent of the complete formula. Without Slughorn's interruption, the recipe would have been in hand.
But at this point, it's useless to hate Slughorn anymore, and it's only right to quickly solve the shortcomings of his magic. If there is a stable, endless flow of magic.
Not only can you not worry about the magic of the monster tattoo on your arm.
You can even use the ghost walk non-stop.
Forever ghostly roaming, forever immune to any damage.
It's scary to think about.
With 90 percent of the recipes and a few old recipes from the library, Hoffa felt that he should be able to calculate the synthesis ratio of the mana recovery potion.
What Hoffa needs to do now is very simple, one, to procure enough potion raw materials, which is not difficult, because he still has 70 of the 100 gold Galleons that Duo gave him. He could have bought it back from Diagon Alley by owl mail.
This method is also used by many students.
The second task is a bit nerve-wracking.
He needed a position, an environment for refining medicine that was not disturbed by people. Although this drug is not a forbidden drug, Slughorn also said that the impact is not good, and more is better than less.
Hoffa had wanted to use the abandoned bathroom at the entrance to the vault, just like Hermione, but on second thought, he laughed at himself for being too forgetful.
Now Myrtle is not dead, she is still alive and well in Ravenclaw. The women's toilet is still normal, and when I go in, I am afraid that I will be hung up and beaten as a gentleman.
After thinking about it, Hoffa decided to change to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor to study potions, and there was no safer place than there.
But an incident over the weekend changed Hoffa's calculations.
Hoffa wanted to buy a lot of medicinal herbs, but he didn't have an owl. Miranda had owls that he could borrow, but he instinctively didn't want to use his classmates' owls, because those owls would send packages at mealtime.
If you are sent a big bag of potion ingredients by an owl while you are eating, then it is bound to attract someone's attention again.
He didn't want to be reported again.
Thinking about it, Hoffa thought of Joey.
He and Joey worked together for a month, and the relationship was not bad. The old man had several owls in his house, and it would be fine to borrow one.
And most importantly, he wasn't afraid that Joey would report himself. Although he is a teacher, he is much crazier than himself, and he directly raises ptarmigans in the Forbidden Forest.
......
......
In mid-November, the temperature plummets, and every morning the Forbidden Forest is surrounded by hoarfrost, and winter in England is coming.
When Hoffa came to Joey's house over the weekend, his treehouse was a mess, the fireplace was boiling hot, and the room was frighteningly hot.
At the moment, Joey was wearing a red mechanical glasses and running around the room shirtless, sometimes adding firewood to the fireplace, sometimes running to the table, busy with everything.
There was a hay nest on the table, and in the nest was a round bird's egg.
It was the egg that Taras the Thunderbird spat out.
"What are you doing?" asked Hoffa.
"Take care of Maya. β
Joey said without looking back.
"Maya, is this ptarmigan female?" asked Hoffa, curiously.
Joey didn't answer, he just watched the ptarmigan egg in revelation, and Hoffa suspected that he hadn't heard what he was saying at all.
So he walked up to Joey and nudged him twice.
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
Finally, as if he had reacted, he straightened up and took off his glasses.
"Why did you come to me?"
"Borrow an owl. "Can I borrow an owl?"
"Go get it yourself. After Joey finished speaking, he leaned down at the table and observed the eggs.
"Oh," Hoffa said, walking out.
Walking to the door, Joey suddenly stopped Hoffa again.
"Wait a minute, I remember, I'm going to go to Tumbledown Alley to buy some medicinal herbs, I can't give you the owl for the time being. β
"Huh?"
Hoffa was shocked, this is too much of a coincidence!
"What medicine are you going to buy?"
"Maya is in a state of hatching, she is very weak in this state, and the British climate is becoming more and more unfriendly to her, and I need some special medicine to keep her alive. β
Hoffa was stunned for a moment.
"Well, actually, I also went to Diagon Alley to buy medicine. β
"Huh?"
Now it was Joey's turn to be shocked.
"You also buy medicinal herbs, are there not enough in the school?"
"I want to make a mana recovery potion. Hoffa said.
"Don't brag," Joey scoffed, "that thing St. Mungo sells for 20 Galleons a tube, and if you can refine it, you'll have a ghost." Besides, you're young, what are you doing with that? β
20 Galleons, Hoffa secretly staggered, the cost of raw materials is less than 1 Galleon, but it costs 20 Galleons to sell.
The money I have to buy finished products is not enough to buy 4 tubes. It's so dark in the world, you know, a wand is less than 20 Galleons.
If you can calculate the ratio of the recovery potion yourself, you may be able to make a fortune with this thing in the future.
"I'm not strong enough for magic. Hoffa said.
"How old are you, your magic will increase in a few years. β
Hoffa thought to himself that in a few years, he would not be able to get the magic potion, but he was afraid that it would be a problem whether he could pass the first-year exam. And Schmidt Rutrov is still wandering outside, facing many risks in the future, and sooner or later he will have to solve the problem of magic.
Seeing that Hoffa didn't speak, Joey looked surprised: "Do you really want to practice?"
"Hmm. β
"Ha, what a Ravenclaw student. β
With that, he sat down and pulled out a piece of parchment, brushed it and began to write. When he was done, he handed it to Hoffa.
"Buy it if you want to, and remember to bring it with you when you buy it, and divide it into two owls. β
There is no doubt that Joey didn't care about Hoffa's violation of the law at all, he was so focused on the ptarmigan egg that he didn't care about external affairs.
So, after coming out of Joey's side, Hoffa gave up the idea of going to the Room of Requirement, and he decided to study the magic recovery potion in Joey's treehouse.
You have to go to the room to answer the request and go secretly, and it is difficult for many people to go to the school, and if you don't keep it, you will be discovered.
But Joey is a safer place here, with an old bastard over his head, and a tall one on top of him if something happens.
......
......
Joey's owl was very efficient, and three days later, the ingredients that Hoffa needed were sent from Diagon Alley.
Big bags and small bags, almost didn't exhaust the two owls to death.
Of course, Joey's potions were also delivered. His potion looked black, like mud in a pond, disgusting.
Now that the materials are available, Hoffa must make a day break to Joey's treehouse.
He didn't have the skill of Aglaia, and he didn't have a complete recipe. He felt that he might have to go through a lot of experimentation before he could match the mana recovery potion.
As the days passed, it was another Friday, and as soon as Hofa finished his class that afternoon, he quickly left the classroom and hurried to Joey's treehouse.
On weekdays, Joey is always in the lobby of the treehouse, taking care of his eggs.
But on this day, Hoffa saw Joey standing by the stable at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, putting a saddle rope on one of his white horses, which still had a scabbard and a bow and crossbow, and Joey was carrying a few small glass bottles that emitted an inexplicable light, which could be said to be fully armed.
His outfit inexplicably reminded Hoffa of Geralt.
"What are you going to do?" asked Hoffa.
Seeing that Hoffa was coming, Joey said casually: "You go and get busy yourself, I'll go to the Forbidden Forest." Something seems to have happened to the centaurs, by the way, help me take care of Maya and not let the temperature in the room go down. β
Something happened to the centaurs?
Hoffa was a little curious, but he didn't think much about it, after all, people were hunting ground guards, and it was normal to go to the Forbidden Forest.
"Go ahead, Maya will leave it to me. β
Joey rolled over and stepped onto his horse and staggered into the forest.
Looking at his back, Hoffa suddenly felt that someone was watching him from behind.
He jerked his head back.
Under the dusk sunset, the early winter dusk grass swayed in the wind, and the water surface of the black lake sparkled.
Nothing.
Hoffa frowned, what was weird. It's not the first time these days that this feeling has happened.
He didn't stay long, and quickly climbed up the soft ladder to the treehouse.
In the lobby of the treehouse, things are in a mess. Herbs and debris littered everywhere.
Hoffa glanced at the ptarmigan egg on the table, which was now wrapped in black silt like a large pine flower egg.
Hoffa put on Joey's glasses and checked the state of the eggs. (The glasses have the ability to see through the embryo inside the eggshell.)
After reading it, he added some more firewood to the fireplace. Then he sat down in the center of the room.
In the middle of the treehouse were three cauldrons, and inside the cauldrons were slightly boiling potions, each pot of potions had different ingredients, and the air was filled with a strong magical aura.
This is exactly the ingredient for the secondary mana recovery potion, which is almost complete.
As long as he can complete the production of the recovery potion, Hoffa does not dare to say that he can really become permanently invincible. But the embarrassment of his lack of mana will be greatly alleviated.
Little by little, he fished the potion out of the cauldron, extracted the most crucial ingredient from it, and then dropped it into three test tubes.
The test tube presents, red, yellow, green, tricolor, and it is very good-looking.
But it's not done yet,
What is to be done now is the most critical step that Hoffa is missing.
Ratio.
He carefully placed the three potion tubes on the table, then took out the droppers and carefully dripped them from one tube to another.
Aglaia said that few people in the world knew that ratio, but Hoffa had already calculated an approximate range, as long as he took a little more time to try it.......
However, at this moment, the hairs on the back of Hoffa's head stood on end, and he suddenly turned around.
Rumble!
The door of the treehouse is slammed open!
A silver loli stood in the doorway, pointing at Hoffa in ecstasy.
"I've got you!"
That expression is the same as that of a woman who longs for a divorce and divides her property and catches her husband cheating.
"Hah! secretly refining potions, and learning my recipes!"
Aglaia's chest rose and fell violently.
Hoffa's face was pale, he didn't expect this guy to come over: "You follow me!?"
"So what?" laughed Aglaia.
"Wait, wait until I tell Professor Goshawk!"
The situation took a turn for the worse, and suddenly he stepped on the edge of the cliff with one foot in the air.
After a little panic, Hoffa's mind calmed down. There is no point in reasoning with this woman, the priority is to solve the problem.
What to do?
Although the mana recovery potion is not a forbidden medicine like the compound potion, his own dean is the iron-faced and ruthless Goshak.
He saw a few test tubes on the table, which were the tubes of potions he had worked so hard to obtain, and the basis for the recovery potion.
But now, they must be destroyed.
Making a decision, Hoffa swooped down on the potions on the table with lightning speed.
Aglaia was also very quick to react, and she saw through Hoffa's thoughts at a glance. He wanted to destroy the evidence.
"Don't think!"
She also threw herself on the potion on the table.
Knock knock!!
The two of them slammed down on the table one after the other, and the table shook violently, and Maya almost didn't roll off the table.
Aglaia reached out and grasped the potion tube.
Hoffa snapped her fingers.
"Loosen me!"
"Give it to me!"
"You let go!"
"You just let go!"
βBat-Bogey HexesοΌβ
Bang!
During the scramble, Aglaia attacked Hoffa, and she struck Hoffa in the chest with a batspirit spell, and he took several steps back in succession, sinking headfirst into the firewood in Joey's room. There were several bats on their chests and faces.
"Hahaha!"
Aglaia stuck out her tongue and grimaced at him, then rushed out the door with the potion tube in her arms and laughing.
"Legs stiffen and die!"
Hoffa rolled over and smashed open the wood chips and bats, and pointed his wand at Aglaia.
The red light flashed.
Aglaia's calves suddenly joined together, and she suddenly fell out of the door and fell to the platform, screaming in anger: "Bach, I'm going to kill you!"
With that, she pointed her wand at Hoffa.
A brilliant and dangerous blue light shot out.
Without saying a word, Hoffa started the ghost walk.
I dodged it directly.
See Hoffa disappear.
Aglaia didn't react for a moment, and by the time she did, Hoffa had already pounced out of the shadows, and he straddled Aglaia's waist and snatched her wand.
"Little witch, are you sick?"
"Who are you scolding?"
"You!"
"Are you still human, why do you have to go against me!?" roared Hoffa.
"You humiliate me, you don't respect me, do you know who I am, do you know my family, I'm a famous ......"
Hoffa: "I'll call you the onion! You're a jealous, crazy, paranoid problem girl!"
"I'm jealous? I'm !!? problem."
Aglaia roared and grabbed Hoffa's face, fingers digging into his nostrils.
"I don't know which one deceived me in Potions class, if you don't understand and don't humbly ask for advice, will you deceive, you have many eyes! You are arrogant, insidious, and cunning......."
"Shut up!"
Hoffa covered her mouth hard, but she bit her.
Hoffa went to grab the potion, but Aglaia reached out on the outside of the wooden platform.
Hoffa stretched out his hand, and Aglaia rubbed back, saying as he rubbed back.
"Stinky shameless, you're done playing! When I get back to school, you'll be expelled from school!"
Hoffa didn't speak, and reached out to grab it.
During the scramble, half of Aglaia's body rubbed against the outside of the treehouse platform, and the two of them probed further and further.
