Chapter 7: The Room of Responsiveness
Zhang Jin, who came out of the headmaster's office, did not leave Hogwarts immediately.
There are two tasks today, and gaining Dumbledore's trust is almost done, and the rest can only be taken one step at a time.
Next, it was time to find a suitable place to store the precious medicinal herbs that Zhang Jin had picked out from Prince's legacy.
Among those many materials, dragon blood and dragon teeth are all ordinary medicinal materials, unicorn horns have two, and there are nearly a hundred other materials.
According to Severus's memory, these were only a small part of the Prince family's inventory, and the rest were basically discarded and thrown away.
There were only two of these herbs that Severus picked out for treasure, one was a bottle of golden blood, the source of which was unknown, and it was guessed that it was the blood of some kind of magical creature.
You can feel the surging magic power in your blood, as well as an unusually strong vitality.
However, there is a reason why it can be stored until now and not used by the Prince family, and Zhang Jin feels the evil magic that sometimes gushes out of it.
There is no doubt that it is a bottle of cursed blood, which is a bit like unicorn blood, but the color is noticeably different, and the unicorn's blood is silver.
I just don't know if there is any way to remove the curse, and the blood with extremely strong magic and vitality is a good thing to boil high-level healing potions and magic potions, and maybe you can use it to increase your magic power.
The original Severus already had a powerful magic when Harry entered the school, even surpassing Professors McGonagall and Flitsch.
At that time, Severus was only in his early thirties, and he had not yet reached the peak of his magical powers, and even the talent for magic that he showed at an early age was a little too powerful.
Maybe Dumbledore was like this when he was young, and Severus's situation was impossible to work on the improvement of mana, so the magic of this improvement was a bit strange.
And now Zhang Jin's magic has caught up with the level of Severus in the later stage, and with the deepening of the fusion, the magic power continues to increase, although I don't know if it can reach Dumbledore's current level at the beginning of the plot, but it is estimated that it will not be too bad.
If there is a mana booster, surpassing Dumbledore will be just around the corner, although the strength of magic is not the only criterion for determining combat effectiveness, but obviously, the strong magic will not be the weak.
The more magic you have, the more magical possibilities you have.
Therefore, Zhang Jin is looking forward to this bottle of blood, what the original Severus could do, the current Zhang Jin can't do.
Another treasure that Severus treasured was a half-finished potion called the Melting Potion, a commonly used potion for the preparation of high-grade potions.
Potions are not made by simply mixing potion materials together, and if a Muggle is making potions, it is impossible to succeed even if he has made them all correctly.
The preparation of potions requires magic guidance or the casting of spells.
And the more complex the potion is, the more potion materials are used, the more complex the magic guidance to be carried out, and at this time, it is easy to have a magic conflict, and the serious thing is the fryer.
The function of the magic potion is to make the magic better integrated into the potion, and at the same time, it can also weaken the magic conflict and enhance the success rate of potion preparation.
And everyone's magic power is different, so everyone's application of magic melting potions is different, or even different.
Therefore, being able to concoct a Potion Fusion Potion that works for you basically means being promoted to a Potions Master, and thus being able to concoct the vast majority of existing potions.
And if there is a blood relationship, there will be a certain similarity in the magic melting potion, so this bottle of the Princes family's magic melting potion can help Zhang Jin be promoted to the potions master.
For this reason, most Potions Masters have a family lineage, such as Professor Slughorn and the current President of the Extraordinary Apothecary Guild.
These are the only two Potions Masters in the British wizarding world today.
Severus was the third, known as the youngest Potions Master.
And Zhang Jin also picked out a dead branch, which was only the thickness of a thumb and about 20 centimeters long, and was originally placed in a box.
Zhang Jin felt an extremely obscure magic on this branch, which even the original Severus was not aware of, so he specially selected it.
And Zhang Jin also thought about the place to put the things, and put them in the room where he was needed, although it might alarm Dumbledore, but Zhang Jin just wanted Dumbledore to know.
The secret under the nose should have appropriately reduced Dumbledore's suspicions.
As long as the biggest secret is not known, the other secrets are just chips that Zhang Jin uses to exchange.
In order to do enough superficial work, Zhang Jin deliberately used a corner to cast an invisibility spell on himself after walking to the second floor, and then bypassed the classroom where the class was taking place and went up another staircase to the eighth floor.
In front of a tapestry with a troll stick beating the stupid Barnabas, Zhang Jin smoothly opened the door of the Room of Need.
What catches your eye is a large circular room with dim lighting, slightly cooler temperatures, and cold air, similar to a dungeon.
The floor in the middle of the room was slightly above the perimeter, and there were several tables on which were placed several cauldrons of different materials and some instruments for handling potion materials.
On one side of the shelves are stacked with potions books, and on the other three sides are mostly empty shelves and bottles, which are used to hold potions materials.
That's right, Zhang Jin opened a room suitable for making potions.
This room is enough, as for the room where the miscellaneous items are placed, Zhang Jin doesn't plan to enter it for the time being, and it's not yet time to deal with the Horcruxes.
First of all, clean up all the tables and shelves, clean up the rotten materials, and then put some of the potions materials that were going to be contributed to Hogwarts, including some finished potions, into different categories on the shelves and bottles.
Before he lived in the cellar and officially took office, Zhang Jin planned to treat this as his office.
Just after Zhang Jin cleaned up, Dumbledore walked in just right.
"You've found a good place, Severus," the old man still looked mild-mannered and tolerant, as if he were facing his students, "Are these from the Princes?" ”
"Well, yes" While answering Dumbledore's question, Zhang Jin did not stop to sort out the materials at hand, some things had to be dealt with as soon as possible to prevent further corruption.
"Voldemort has mentioned this place to me and intends to make it a secret base, I think you should know about it."
Dumbledore: "This is the Room of Need, and I only came in when I was younger, and it is said that it will only respond to those in need. ”
