14. Materials

This time I came to China, the tourism was only secondary, and the main purpose was to visit his brother Lecker, who was hiding from the British Ministry of Magic.

Fu Meng and the others didn't want to stay here in Laker either, and they didn't even plan to spend the night in this place, for fear that they would expose Laker's residence and cause unnecessary trouble.

So the two brothers got together for about two hours, and in the evening they were reluctant to separate.

"I'll change places, it's not safe here, I mainly want to report to you that you're safe......" Lecker couldn't help but say as he looked at Fu Mond, his brother's worried gaze.

"I'll move back to Europe next spring to live in seclusion, and I'll be in touch with you secretly."

"Are you sure?"

In fact, in comparison, China is much safer than Europe, for Lecker.

"Do your best! At the same time, I believe that as long as Sherlock grows up...... "Lecker looks to Mephisto's most promising member in recent centuries, Sherlock.

"I believe that even Azkaban, or Nyumungard, these two famous prisons in the wizarding world, will never dare to imprison Mephisto's people in the future."

This was the end of his trip to China, and after parting from Lekel Mephisto, Funmond took his wife and children and set off for England.

Sherlock's greatest gain was a piece of precious wood that could be crafted into a fifteen-inch-long wand, the wood of purple nanmu.

Upon returning to Mephisto's Lodge, Sherlock pesters his mother, Ellie, to contemplate a magic potion that can maintain or even restore the vitality of plants.

"Okay...... Honey, I'll do it for you, but I want to tell you that this potion material is very scarce, so if you want to use it temporarily, a potion can last for about a month, and if you want to keep it for a long time, it's impossible. ”

Ellie told Sherlock in her manor's private laboratory that even her husband, Fumund, would not dare to enter the house, which was fully equipped for potions development, because the consequences would be serious if he angered his wife......

Being able to let Sherlock in this time is an exception for Ellie.

"Even if you ask to see me configure it yourself, I also hope you can go farther away from the cauldron, when I was at Hogwarts, I saw a lot of stupid people among my classmates, who couldn't even configure simple potions, and even made the cauldron fryer, dear accidents like that are dangerous, but even if I never make that kind of mistake, I hope it will be safer for you to stand at a distance."

Sherlock couldn't help grinning, I'm afraid that even a student like his mother would think that Hogwarts Potions classes are a simple type, and even Hermione, a school bully who went to Hogwarts in the future, complained about the Potions class in the school.

Ellie's techniques and processes for making potions are almost all done in one go, and sometimes it's a pleasure to watch others make no mistakes at all, and to be familiar with the work process.

"Plant-based potion, this potion will be able to meet your requirements, you only need to pour one drop into the soil at a time to keep it for a day, this is the capacity of thirty drops, even a piece of broken wood can stay alive, as if it had just been broken from a tree."

Sherlock took the potion, and if he got the treasure, although it could only last for a month, it was enough.

"Thank you, Mom, love you, poof!"

After running out of Ellie's lab, Sherlock ran expectantly back to his room, where there were the flower pots and dirt that he had instructed the house-elf 'Shogg' to prepare from the outside.

After dropping another drop of the planting agent into the soil, he planted the purple nanmu in the pot.

According to Sherlock's speculation, in the legend of the Elder Wand, the Grim Reaper broke off an elderberry from the river to make the Elder Wand, although it is not clear whether the material needed to be kept alive when the wizards made the wand, but the Grim Reaper broke the elderberry and started making the Elder Wand.

That wood must be alive and not a piece of dead wood, so Sherlock wanted to use the best and most active materials to make his wand in the future.

However, the young wizard could only get his first wand at the age of eleven when he received an offer from the wizardry school and went to the Ollivanders wand shop in Diagon Alley.

At least this is true in the wizarding world of England as a whole, and Sherlock is not very clear if this is the case in the rest of Europe.

But there were still six years between now and when he had his first wand, and it was impossible to use a bottle of plant dexterizer that could only last for a month to preserve the purple nanmu that needed to last for six years.

And as her mother Ellie said, it was not difficult for her to make a bottle of botanical potion, and even if the materials used to prepare the potion were expensive, it was a drop in the bucket for the Mephisto family's financial resources.

But unfortunately, there are many materials for planting potions, which are priceless in the wizarding world, and for the end of this raw material is hard to find, even if the Mephisto family has a lot of financial resources, it will not help.

So Sherlock defined his next goal as the third spell he could develop at the beginning of the next month.

That's why Sherlock had to watch his mother prepare the plant-based potion in person, because the third spell to be invented was not the same as the Traceless Healing Spell and the Whispering Spell.

The third spell is to preserve the vitality of a plant, or to give a dying plant a false name, so that it can continue to grow and survive, but this is difficult.

Plant-based potions are one of the few potions with this magical function, so it would be best for Sherlock to see the process in person so that he can record the matching rules and effects of the spell in his magic notebook.

He then had less than a month to study the plant flexibility agent and observe what kind of life form the purple nanmu that had been nourished by the potion in the soil would sustain it.

"I heard from Ellie that you asked her for a plant flexibility agent, and even if I close my eyes and think about it, I know that you are going to use it on the piece of wood that I brought back from China...... And the door to your room is not closed. ”

The father, who walked in without permission, also pointed to the unclosed door of the room.

"Oh...... Okay, then you can close the door for me when you leave. ”

Sherlock showed Fu Mond that he had cultivated the purple nanmu, and then emphasized, "This is not an ordinary wood, nanmu is known as the first of the four famous trees in the world, and this nanmu also has a name in China called 'golden silk nan', and the academic name is Zinan, in China's ancient feudal dynasties, it represents the gold in the wood that can only be used by the royal family and the royal family." ”

Fu Mund gave his son a blank look, "So you're going to use this piece of wood to make your wand for the next six years!" Don't you think it's too early to plan? ”
