Chapter 844: Conjecture about the Potion Sequence

"Bat liver, it's a stabilizer, right?"

Elena said excitedly, glancing at the somewhat confused Potions professor, and quickly added.

"If I'm not mistaken, the role of the bat liver in potions is to neutralize toxins while ensuring that the properties of the various potion materials can coexist, which is not nutritional, but very occult—"

The bat first appeared 59 million years ago, and it is one of the most successful mammals.

Strictly speaking, human beings, who have a relatively short history, are much inferior in terms of physical mechanisms alone.

Even in the past 59 million years, bats have not undergone major changes in size and structure, and bats have survived various environmental changes over tens of millions of years, including various extinction events in geological history - this indicates that the body structure of bats has tended to be perfect, and it can adapt to various environments on Earth, including hot and arid tropical deserts and dark and humid rainforests, and even temperate to cold plains and mountains.

The two most important factors are the bat's ability to resist viruses and its DNA characteristics.

Like most mammals, bats are infected with the virus, but instead of having the same fever and inflammation as other animals, bats can achieve a similar effect with a highly metabolic body temperature.

Because the heat shock protein/HSP in bat cells can promote the correct folding of proteins, promoting the heat tolerance of cells.

Of course, the more important function is that this high body temperature replaces the mechanism of inflammation and fever, so that the virus and high body temperature in the bat form a balance mechanism, and at the same time, in the long-term evolution, the bat has evolved a super DNA repair mechanism.

"Repair, Balance, Detoxify...... Oh, and this last one should be a 'affix' reinforcement from the liver?"

Elena folded her fingers thoughtfully and counted softly, the brightness in her eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

Perhaps, just like the reason for the choice of puffer fish eyes, the most likely reason for choosing the liver, which bears the "detoxification" effect in mammals, as the core organ of bat medicine, is naturally to take a fancy to its "detoxification" ability.

It is important to know that puffer fish eyes, nettle spines, and even bat body fluids themselves carry a considerable degree of biological toxicity.

Without the power of the medium of magic, simply using magic to remove toxins and harmful substances out of thin air, with the biological foundation of the wizarding world today, is almost equivalent to turning a cup of pure water into a panacea for all diseases.

"Casting medium, yes......"

Elena subconsciously glanced at the wand in her hand and raised her eyebrows in realization.

"That would explain why potions are equated with spells in many books—"

As the oldest wizarding school in the wizarding world, Hogwarts may occasionally hire a few less reliable wizards, but in terms of some basic concepts, neither the wizarding world nor the school will deviate too much.

Potions, a mystical symbol that had been associated with wizards since time immemorial, was far more esoteric than she had imagined.

[Perhaps in your eyes, both seem to be processes done with the help of crucibles and flames, but this is only the most superficial understanding and presentation...... Potions are made not only of the materials that can be touched, but also of magic......]

[You are here to learn the exact science and rigor of the crafting of this potion...... Many people don't believe it's magic...... The wonderful essence of the fragrance of potions...... I can teach you...... Brewing Honors ......]

The opening remarks of the two Potions professors in the first class, the knowledge of potions, and the theory of biology were intertwined in Elena's mind, and the vague conjecture in her heart gradually became clear after several confirmations.

Potions comes from the division of ancient alchemy, and the two have been separated for thousands of years.

This means that there is a clear line between them.

If modern chemistry in the non-magical world begins to touch the realm of "modern alchemy", then pharmacy based on modern chemistry should actually be subordinate to "modern alchemy", and potions, which retains more of the mysterious power of magic, is still a phenomenon that cannot be explained by existing scientific theories in the non-magical world for the time being, just like magic spells.

Potions do not cause potions to react to potion materials through magic, but conversely, use magic to stimulate or strip the modifiers in potion materials, and finally conceptually "synthesize" magic potions with these properties.

In other words, the essence of potions is actually the eclectic alchemy of extracting concepts and symbols.

"But—but if it's a symbolic extraction, or an entry, wouldn't that be too ......?"

Elena frowned, her gaze swept over the faces of her immature peers in the classroom.

Magic and science, these are the two ways of human cognition of the world, if her previous speculation is true, then this means that Potions is missing an important link in the teaching of natural science and the occult, even if it does not involve chemical reactions, the degree of understanding of the basic composition and properties of matter will become the core factor restricting the ceiling and future of Potions.

Maybe it wasn't too difficult for her, but it was based on being a human being in two lives.

If the essence of Potions is to extract conceptualized beings and reassemble them, then it is equivalent to directly using magic to create new things from the consequentialistic basis, which is far beyond the scope of ordinary chemistry classrooms.

It is a re-creation of phenomena, laws, and symbols, rather than a reinvention of plasticine.

If you have to find a more appropriate description......

"God" Preschool] – This might be a more appropriate description.

Elena's thoughts drifted apart, and the discovery was a completely unexpected process.

Since Nicol Lemay was invited to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the alchemy course that had been closed for many years was reopened, she thought that the first upheaval of "a scientific Hogwarts" would be in the field of alchemy.

However, what Elena never expected was that such a mystery would be hidden in Potions.

Compared with the simple transformation of matter, black box magic, and extrasensory observation, this kind of fantasy creation magic, which overrides the conventional cosmic constants and rules, and is like a creator, may be the cornerstone of the equivalence between the two worlds.

"...... that way"

Elena's fingers twitched unconsciously on the lectern, groaning thoughtfully.

"Super Serum, Spider-Man...... Those flower-shaped products that exist in film and television, animation, and pure concepts are all theoretically feasible, and the possibility of making fantasy power appear in ordinary people?"

Unlike spells and spells, the existence of potions gives it an incomparable advantage in terms of popularity and dissemination.

Almost instantly, Elena had hundreds of new potions worth trying.

And if her speculation and experiments are successful, then according to the combination of different potions and concepts, she can even build a new power system for all mankind in this world from scratch:

A promotion sequence that is based on the different potencies conferred by potions, the complexity of the symbols, the clear hierarchy, and the traces.

The only thing missing today is ......

Elena frowned slightly, a hint of distress flashing in her lake-blue eyes.

In the field of Transfiguration, there is Albus Dumbledore, in the field of magic and charms, there is Gellert Grindelwald, in the field of magical beasts, Newt Scamander, and in the field of modern science, there is a fire of civilization from the former Soviet Union, but in the field of potions, there is still a lack of a reliable and easy to master top "worker".

Needless to say, Severus Snape is a very good fit.

However, for the time being, Elena still has some doubts about the reliability of this "half-blood prince", and does not dare to let Snape come into contact with the most core Destiny Group forces - even Dumbledore, most of them have the same worries in their hearts.

After all, the three generations of the Black Lord, the Gringotts Fairy Queen, the founder of the Special Containment Procedures Foundation, the Destiny Lady, and the Miss Fool of the 'Tarot Society'...... These names don't sound like a righteous organization, and unlike other wizards who are forced to join out of desperation or under the temptation of material and vanity, Snape's camp has always been quite idealistic and willful.

Not to mention, unlike the method of the spicy old radish back then, Elena can't conjure up a Lily Evans.

Unless......

Elena's eyes casually swept from below the classroom to the thin dark-haired boy who was whispering something to Draco Malfoy, and sighed softly in disappointment.

It's a pity that it's Harry, not Harley, otherwise she would have been able to blow up Snape's strategy progress last semester.

Not to admit Snape into the "New World" camp until his status is fully confirmed, this is the result of the simultaneous vote of Dumbledore and Grindelwald, if this multi-faceted agent does rebel, he can cause no less damage and influence than the members of the tarot card now...... Never underestimate a Potions Master.

In that case, there is only one target left to choose from?

Elena thought as her gaze drifted to the chubby Potions professor beside her.

Power, glory, power, wealth...... She happens to have them all, the only thing missing is a Potions Master who is willing to break down the gap between the non-wizarding world and the wizarding world - or Slughorn isn't the best candidate, but it's not bad.

"Miss Kaslana, it's remarkable that you can realize the wonder of potions. ”

Noticing Elena's gaze, Slughorn grinned and said gently.

"However, as a second-year Hogwarts student, I may be thinking a little ahead of my time, so I suggest that we go back to reality first, back to the basics, the basics. At least for the rest of the lesson, you'd better clear your brain and follow the initial process to complete the potion. ”

As one of only a few dozen Potions Masters in the wizarding world today, Horace Slughorn naturally understood the meaning behind Elena's whisper.

If nothing else, a new Potions Master will be born in the wizarding world in a maximum of ten years.

"As for the more complicated things and problems, after this lesson, if I have time, I can talk to you individually, of course, only a little bit about the direction of the follow-up, and the learning of potions still has to be gradual......

Slughorn patted the girl lightly on the shoulder and said meaningfully.

"When you reach my age, you'll understand that there are many fields, and knowing how to operate and knowing how to operate are two very different meanings - the one in your family...... Not...... Your grandfather is such an example. In a way, Potions is perhaps the least accessible discipline, and it takes decades for any Potions Master to take place. ”

"In other words, even if you know the method and direction, will there be a difference?"

Elena blinked with some curiosity, innocently looked at Slughorn and asked softly.

"Yes, it's not like I'm bragging-"

Slughorn puffed out his chest proudly, and there was a hint of pride in his expression.

"Maybe I don't have that good luck in the creation and invention of potions, but in terms of potion preparation experience and techniques, even if I search the entire wizarding world, I can't find a few people who are better than me—I've been teaching for almost forty years!"

"I see......"

Elena raised an eyebrow and nodded earnestly.

Well, the first baton of Potions for the New Age is up to you, Professor Horace Slughorn.

After a few seconds of thinking, Elena quickly made up her mind, and tonight she sent a message to the Mandate of Heaven Headquarters and the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, so that those "black-clad wizards" and goblin tax collectors would immediately start taking action.

As for the lobbying personnel, Professor Gilderoy Lockhart should be more suitable.

After all, as a volunteer to join the Mandate of Heaven Group, the Foundation, and vowed never to betray the excellent case, this handsome "Black Wizard" organization leader can be said to be quite experienced in dealing with this special talent introduction.

Perhaps, in order to increase persuasion and deterrence......

In order for "Albus Dumbledore" to be able to play together, she still needs to plan a little later, so that a 110-year-old man can walk around and not always hold his big bird in the office.

As for the reason for going out, I may have to trouble Mr. Tom Riddle's anomalous containment in the end.
