Chapter 657: Forgotten Elixir
The next morning, the first match of the first round of the Triwizard Tournament officially began.
Under the onlookers of hundreds of people at the scene, Raven and Ghost Li, two players who are recognized as the strongest mages, finally have a stage to compete.
As soon as it opened, the Necromantic Technique summoned a large number of necromantic creatures to entangle it, and he hid behind and constantly harassed Raven's casting and positioning with various debuffs.
Raven's elemental spell not only has high damage, but also has a large range, which was originally very restrained from this kind of Necromantic Sea's play.
It's just that without the protection of the magic pet, she has been unable to solve the threat from the air - a winged night shadow.
Winged Nightshade is extremely mobile and lethal, as well as absorbing mana that has a noticeable effect on mages.
With it harassing in the sky, Ghost Li has plenty of time and space to constantly summon high-level undead creatures.
After a stalemate of more than ten minutes, the ghost finally summoned all three corpse witches and launched a group spell - Banshee Wailing.
Ruiwen's displacement life-saving skills have been handed over, and she has no choice but to quickly choose to surrender.
It doesn't matter if you lose one game in this kind of game, but if you die and fall out of the relegation because of it, it will affect all the next games.
"The first one, the winner, Tillanders, the devil!"
"Whew!"
In the stands, the cheers of the Tillanders students instantly resounded throughout the venue.
The Slytherin people, in particular, shouted more vigorously than the other, for fear that others would not know that Ghost Li was their Slytherin student.
In fact, if Raven's phoenix could play, it would never be so easy for Ghost Li to win, and even the victory or defeat might be reversed.
"Is this the woman who contracted a newborn phoenix and wants to ask Fawkes for help?" Zoe said as she looked at Raven who had left the field in defeat.
"Well, they also participated in the battle with the devil on the Falling Star Sea and helped a lot." After a few encounters, Sherlock still has a good impression of Raven and his group.
"In that case, then I'll ask Fox, it's just that she has been out recently, and it is estimated that she will not be back until the end of the month."
"If she leaves, you won't have any problems with your body." Sherlock remembers that Zoe's life was sustained by Fawkes' phoenix powers.
"There is no problem in a short period of time, Philida's potion can temporarily suppress the toxicity in my body." Zoe smiled happily.
"That's good, I'm afraid you won't be able to go to the Forbidden Forest like this."
"Of course you can go, have you figured out the time?" Zoe was thrilled when she heard about the Forbidden Forest.
"Next Wednesday, I don't have classes that afternoon."
"It's going to be next Wednesday......"
"I need to collect information about the Forbidden Forest first, otherwise I won't even be able to tell the way in."
"Xiaoxia, you are a druid, will you get lost in the forest?"
"Uh...... Just in case, just in case! ”
……
After the game, Sherlock followed Snape to his office and laboratory.
Rather than the restrictive Triwizard Tournament, he still prefers to stay in the pile of potions and study potions.
Snape appreciated his attitude, first helping him perfect the recipe for the last Concealment Potion, and then patiently teaching him how to make a potion amplifier for an afternoon.
A potion amplifier is a secondary potion added to potions to increase the potion effect.
It's just that there is no specific formula for this elixir, and the refiner needs to make a special ratio according to the type and amount of materials in each potion.
So to be precise, potions enhancers are more of a pharmacological understanding.
This kind of thing is not something that can be achieved by improving the level of alchemy skills or pondering it yourself, and it must be taught by a special life professional mentor for a long time.
This is true not only for alchemy, but also for other forging and sewing Seiko.
For example, the unique forging method of the alpine dwarf clan, you can't even get in touch with it if you don't go to apprenticeship, let alone learn.
So, it's no surprise that so many players are willing to work for those Grandmaster-level NPCs.
"Actually, the blood of the salamander is not the best material, and if you use the blood of the red dragon, the medicinal properties can be stimulated by another 20%." Snape couldn't help but glance at Sherlock quietly.
Dragon's blood, specifically refers to the essence blood of the dragon that contains dragon power.
The most widely known effect is to make recovery potions, and the effect is so good that even if it is diluted 100 times, its medicinal power is stronger than most materials.
It is then used as a solvent to dissolve herbs and ores, and the substances incorporated into them can exert their full effect.
The main effect of the salamander blood in the potion amplification is to induce the medicinal power, and the effect of replacing it with dragon blood is naturally better.
It's just that the material of dragon blood is too rare.
Even Snape didn't have much inventory in his hands, and now looking at such a large mobile dragon blood bank beside him, it would definitely be fake to say that he was not impressed.
"Teacher, there is still a little dragon blood here, it is left over from the last time I refined the medicine, maybe you can use it." As he spoke, Sherlock took out the small half-tube of dragon blood that had been left over from the last time he had made dragon power for the squirrel.
"Well, I really can't refuse." Snape accepted the dragon's blood, then handed over a book: "As compensation, you can choose one of the potions in it to study." ”
The book is called "Potions of Might", which Sherlock had seen in the library, and it is full of potions with special powerful effects.
For example, compound decoctions that can change the appearance of the body for a long time;
The most effective love potion in the world - aphrodisiac;
Increases the elixir of luck;
Flasks of Forgetting Skills;
……
Each of these potions is a priceless item on the market today, and learning any of them can make a lot of money among players.
And the most valuable of them is undoubtedly the elixir.
"The materials of the elixir are extremely rare, and the four-colored four-leaf clover in it can only appear in places where Temorrah has descended, so I don't recommend you to choose this elixir." Snape had a crush on the student and reminded him.
Without production, no matter how high the profit is, it is useless, and Sherlock immediately made a choice in his heart: "What about the Forgetting Elixir?" “
"The main materials of the Forgotten Elixir are Boundless Water, Aracea Root Sutra, Nine Spice Worms, Maple Balm, Bamboo Drain, and Rush Grass."
Sherlock knew that Snape was teaching him again: "Infinite water and maple balm are rare, but they are not rare, and the rest of the ingredients are common. “
"The process of refining the Forgotten Elixir is very cumbersome, are you sure you want to choose this potion?" Snape reconfirmed.
"Hmm." Sherlock nodded.
Powerful potions are either rare materials or complex refining processes, the former has a small profit margin, and the latter has a high threshold, but once it is crossed, the benefits are definitely incomparable to the former.
Then another all-nighter.
Under Snape's teaching, Sherlock finally remembered the process of refining the Forgotten Elixir and some of the precautions in it.
Due to the scarcity of materials and the limited time, he decided to practice in the Room of Requirement.
Of course, that's all for later.
Today, there is a tough matchup waiting for him.
"Zoe, you look good in this dress." In the preparation room, Sherlock looked at Zoe who came to cheer him on and said with a smile.
"yes!" Zoe was dressed in a lion doll costume and said happily, "This is what I found from the Room of Requirement, it should have been left by a former Gryffindor student, and I specially wore it to cheer you on." ”
"Then thank you for your cheers." Sherlock said, and walked out of the preparation room.
On the other side of the field, the figure of Star Hate Snow also appeared at the same time.
