Chapter 71: The Bat Pace Is Pretty Good
Research on the improvement of the wolf venom potion is still going well, but its function has not improved much.
After all, the principle is there, and it is not easy to use the characteristics of wolf venom to expel wolf venom for a short time, and it is not a simple matter to test and eradicate it, and it is estimated that a lot of research is needed, so the wolf venom agent only shows that it is to maintain sanity when the wolf venom occurs, that is, when it transforms into a werewolf.
In fact, it is also useful to drink wolf poison potion when the body is not changed, but after the effective time limit, the wolf poison will recover, and its effect will not be reflected.
Severus's improvements to the wolf poison agent were mainly in the raw materials and preparation methods.
The general high-grade potion ingredients are similar to those of today's cosmetics, and they are roughly composed of three major ingredients: the matrix (solvent), the active ingredient, and the special ingredient.
The matrix in the potion is mainly used to promote the release of medicinal properties, and most of the active ingredients in the wolf poison potion are used to replenish mana, regulate and heal the body.
And you're not sure what the transformed werewolf will do, after all, it's completely out of mind at that time, so even if it runs all night or fights other creatures or wizards, it's possible, and the physical strength consumed, the damage received, etc., will be returned to the wizard, so many werewolf wizards eventually can't bear the damage after turning back into humans and die.
It is also for this reason that the wolf poison potion has a large number of ingredients that replenish mana, stamina and healing.
The last special ingredient is the dispelling effect brought by the wolf poison weed, and it is also the key effect of the wolf poison potion, that is, the dispelling effect that can also work when transforming into a werewolf, so that the werewolf can keep his sanity.
In the original boiling method, in order to stimulate the effect of wolf poison weed, a large number of precious potion materials were added to it, which led to the fact that although the wolf poison potion has been around for several years, it has almost no practical effect, because it is too expensive.
Werewolves, on the other hand, are very difficult to find a job due to their own dangerousness, and therefore have almost no source of livelihood, in other words, very poor.
We can see this from Lupin, who is one of the few moderate werewolves, and was the president of the boys' school council at Hogwarts, but what happened? Still poor!
Therefore, the original wolf poison potion was almost not used by werewolves, and it was still used once a month.
That's a lot more than the girl's monthly cost!
And Severus's improvement is to delete some valuable medicinal materials without affecting the efficacy of the medicine, or replace some cheaper ones, and the final result is also very good, if the original wolf poison potion needs a year's salary to be used once, now it only needs half a month's salary.
At least it can be used, isn't it?!
And the success is also thanks to the improvement in the formulation method.
Nowadays, most potions are still used in the way of adding herbs in order to the crucible, and some of the more difficult herbs are difficult to use well in this process, and at the same time, it will greatly prolong the time of potion preparation.
Sometimes, it can take several days to wait for the next herb to be processed, and at this time, the potion that was originally boiled may deteriorate and become ineffective.
Severus's approach was to process some complex potions in advance, and then shorten the time by adjusting the dosage and heat.
Severus even tried to make the potion into three parts, and the last three parts were mixed to make the final wolf poison potion.
This method is borrowed from modern chemical processes, which are almost always used in today's chemical production, and even many factories specialize in the production of intermediates.
If this method can also be used in the crafting of potions, it will greatly improve the efficiency of potions and will also be more conducive to bringing potions to the market.
After completing the improvement of the wolf poison potion, he wrote down the relevant notes and completed the relevant papers, and Severus immediately reported to Dumbledore.
Now it's time for the White Wizard to exert his strength.
Among the three major forces, Severus is undoubtedly attributed to Dumbledore, even if it is a feud with the Order of the Phoenix, but this is unknown to outsiders.
So when it's time to use the Order of the Phoenix, Severus won't be polite.
In particular, there is also a werewolf Lupin in the Order of the Phoenix who is in dire need of rescue.
Lupin's life has not been good recently, because the outside world pursued Voldemort's henchmen some time ago, and the werewolf is a well-known servant who follows Voldemort, so he has also been pursued, and Lupin has also been affected.
Poor Lupin not only lost his job, but also exposed his identity as a werewolf, and his life will not be easy in the future!
Thinking of this, Severus was in a happier mood.
What could be more gratifying than seeing the four robbers get worse than the other?
If there is, it's that they're getting worse!
And now that Lupin is at Hogwarts, there is no safer place than Hogwarts, and because of this, the outside world has one more reason to criticize Dumbledore: take in werewolves!
It's like hiding a powerful madman in the school, and I don't know when it will be harmed on the students, that is, now that it's a holiday, otherwise Dumbledore's office will be flooded with yelling letters.
So it's also nice to see Dumbledore unlucky!
But when I thought that I was going to help the other party solve this problem, why did I suddenly not want to do it? Or a few more delays? Waiting until school is about to start?
I'd really like to see Dumbledore drowned in a roaring letter.
While thinking about it, Dumbledore and our werewolf boy came over head-on, the two came in from outside the castle, coupled with Lupin's languid look, he should have just finished transforming, because he has been studying potions, and Severus doesn't know if it's a full moon recently.
"Look who I see, Mr. Remus Lupin, President of the Male Student Council, and welcome back to Hogwarts!" Severus said extremely shady words in a mocking tone, and there was no need to hide anything next to Dumbledore, "I really want people to see how embarrassed you are now, I wonder if there will be any girls who will take a fancy to you?" ”
Hehe, Lupin had mocked that there could be no girl like Severus as a bat spirit!
And even though Severus had already said so, Lupin only looked up slightly, and it seemed that yesterday's transformation was no less tortured, and the other party seemed to have some difficulty even walking normally.
Of course, Dumbledore couldn't watch his protégé being attacked, he first nailed it with his eyes, and then couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw that Severus didn't pay attention to him at all.
Before Dumbledore could speak, Severus had already tossed him a large roll of parchment.
"Here's for you, it's just my hobby, you know, Dumbledore, I wish some werewolf was dead!"
After saying that, without waiting for the two to react, Severus walked away in the classic bat steps.
It would have been more perfect to put on a cloak at this time, I had always thought that the big cloak was quite ugly, but now that I think about it, it is very suitable for Severus's temperament.
