Chapter 84: The Potions Master's First Step (Part 3)
At Hogwarts School, William had seen too many magical creatures, but definitely couldn't compare to Professor Snape's secret chest.
He finally knew why Snape was such a precious medicine pantry, or more precisely, his entire wealth was here.
The room, enlarged by the Traceless Stretching Charm, is more like a mad scientist taking over a supermarket, and then filling all the aisles and shelves with bottles and cans of all shapes and sizes for the storage of species.
The surrounding lighting settings professionally add red "safety lights", like a photo flushing darkroom.
These red "safety lights", projected upwards from under the shelves, reflect the entire space, illuminated in alcohol-soaked containers, and protect photosensitive species from constant light.
Under the light, those inanimate species seem to gather together, staring at you through the shadows!
This gave William the illusion of being in a giant aquarium.
He glanced at it casually, and the aisles seemed to have no end in sight, at least the corpses of thousands of magical creatures.
If Hagrid had seen this room, he wouldn't have to kill Snape?
After all, it's all his cutie.
So, this is the Amazing Biologist's Graveyard, the Potions Master's Paradise!
But William was not a magical biologist, and he was so happy, like a turtle that had never seen the world, lying in front of a large glass container, looking at the floating ugly fish.
This is a coelacanth, William has seen it in a magical creature book, it is full of treasures, and most of the places, it can make potions.
Or the most precious potion of all!
William glanced greedily a few times, and soon, he was attracted to the thing on his left again.
In the left aisle, there is a large water tank. The water tank was like a row of glass phone booths fused together.
In this long transparent coffin, a terrifying thing hovered, white and blurred.
William looked down at the thing, its bulbous head, basketball-sized eyes, and a strange glow.
It's a giant squid carcass!
On the water tank, there is also a label - Dawang sour squid.
This squid is also currently recognized as the largest invertebrate magical creature in the wizarding world, it is not only larger than the king squid, but also an extremely active predator.
Found in the waters surrounding the Antarctic continent and occasionally north off the coast of South Africa, this squid is a terrifying magical creature of the same level as the fire dragon.
That's an exaggeration, isn't it?
For example, some potions require dragon's blood as a material, after all, dragon's blood has twelve uses, and among many potions, it is also an irreplaceable medicinal material.
But what Potions master would hide the corpse of an adult fire dragon at home just because he needed some dragon blood?
Professor Snape is doing this right now!
Too envious...... Ahh
After all, good things should be collected by those who know how to appreciate them.
For a moment, William didn't really want to save Professor Snape, so he let him stay in Azkaban for the rest of his life to confess his sins on the charge of killing Tywin.
William was clearly so overjoyed by the squid that he seemed to be unable to take his eyes off the window.
He began to delude into illusions, as if he were in front of a cauldron, brewing top-notch potions.
I wonder if I will be in a better mood if I add a little tentacle and make a potion?
The use of this tentacles, instead of gill sac grass, to make a diving potion, is able to increase the effect to a week.
You know, after eating gill sac grass, it can move freely underwater for more than an hour. But just a little bit of this tentacle can increase the effect a hundredfold.
To be honest, William hadn't made difficult potions yet, and he used magical creatures and herbs, which were always the cheapest ones.
That's a lot of money burning!
William seriously suspected that the entire Hogwarts money was being hoarded by Professor Snape.
Yes, the school was reluctant to even replace the flying broomstick, and it wasn't until Charpy's accident that he barely came up with some money.
So where does all the money go?
Other disciplines, such as Charms and Transfiguration, were not too expensive, so they must have been used by Professor Snape to buy these things.
The most important thing is that these things can still be taken out and sold, just like gold.
With the increase in the range of human activities, the habitat of many magical creatures is being destroyed, which has led to the price of many medicinal materials skyrocketing.
For example, the African tree snake is an important part of the compound decoction, but with the African crackdown on smuggling, the export is restricted, almost one price a year.
William had just seen a dozen boxes of African tree snakes.
Not only Snape, but William had also seen Hagrid's hut wrap up unicorn fur in bundles, as if to make a blanket.
That thing sells for hundreds of Galleons.
It seems that in Hogwarts, every teacher is deeply hidden.
In the future, who would dare to say that the professors at Hogwarts are a bunch of poor people, and William will have to knock his mouth crooked.
Of course, William didn't think that Professor Snape had collected it himself.
There are some things that are obviously forbidden to be bought and sold, and Professor Snape has a whole bunch of them.
Hogwarts didn't do anything behind it, and William absolutely didn't believe it.
Yes, wizards throughout England graduated from Hogwarts.
It is too easy for those excellent students, after entering various fields, to really open the back door to Hogwarts.
It can be said that most of Britain is Dumbledore students, this kind of educational monopoly is really terrible, is it simply a learning valve?
In the corner, William also saw a dozen cauldrons, all of which were filled with potions.
Many potions have a long boiling cycle, such as the compound decoction, which takes twenty-one days to boil for lacewings alone, and the whole process takes nearly a month.
Many of these seals are semi-finished products.
With the smell, William only smelled a pot of elixir, and Snape probably wanted to add some luck to himself, and his luck had not been good lately.
There was also a pot of truth spitting, and I don't know who Professor Snape wanted to give it to.
The rest, William didn't smell it, it was some difficult potion anyway.
It was as if William had discovered a new world.
It was full of precious creatures he had never seen before, and he could have no worries about failing a lot of practice.
Which Potions Master is not fed potions by potions, just like those combat masters.
You are highly talented, and you can't become a master without a lot of practice.
William used to have no money and no medicinal materials, but now it's different, he's wide!
William can learn Transfiguration every afternoon and make potions in the evening, which is the first step to becoming a Potions Master.
He liked the time loop more and more.
