Chapter 13: Materialist Potions

"It's not Psychic Potions!?" While the village of Hyareth is practicing chicken and dog jumping due to the magic of the little wizard, the culprit is studying potions.

In some parts of the world, Potions belongs to the realm of alchemy, which has never been a 'technique of refining gold' or 'a technique of refining metalwork', but rather a misunderstanding caused by freehand translation.

But in this world, alchemy and potions are two different fields, and Beauxbatons School of Magic and Wizardry are different disciplines, the former being an elective in the senior year, and the latter being a compulsory course throughout the school life.

Nicol nominally refines the 'elixir of life', but mainly relies on the magical functions of the Philosopher's Stone, and he can't rely on him to learn potions, but he still has to find a professional...... There is only one such villager in the village of Hyares, and there is only one professional.

Thankfully, the owner of the potion shop was an amiable grandmother, and she was grateful to Lyle for teaching her granddaughter in magic, and for passing on her experience and skills without any reservations - but this time, Lyle could no longer graduate as soon as he started.

The owner of the potion shop, who originally wanted to give full praise to the potion refined by Lyle, gave the answer when he heard the words: "What do you think~ Potions is a very rigorous science, and the slightest mistake will fail, how can it be idealistic?" ”

"But I've heard that a lot of potions require spells to be configured......!" Materialistic Potions is a very reasonable thing, and it is okay to think of it as an abnormal version of chemistry, but it appears in a worldview with idealistic magic, and it is full of a sense of disobedience, and Lyle resists this fact for a short time.

The owner of the potion shop nodded in agreement with this statement, and just said: "But in terms of proportion, there are more potions that do not require spells to be cast during the configuration process~"

“…… All right. This is the best evidence, Lyle took a deep breath, and quickly shook off the prejudice in his head, good explorers can't always see the world through tinted glasses.

In the final analysis, the coexistence of the supernatural system and the technology system is the biggest violation, and the coexistence of idealistic magic and materialistic potions is only a child.

"But......" The owner of the potion shop changed his tone and looked a little melancholy, "with your magic level, you don't need to study potions at all, right?" ”

What materialist potions can do, idealistic magic can do.

What other wizards can't do, Lyle can only do.

Lyle said earnestly, "No, I'm going to learn. ”

"Why?" The owner of the potion shop was surprised.

"Let's just think of it as a personal interest to kill time." Even from the perspective of personal growth, Potions is not necessary to learn, unlike idealistic alchemy, materialistic Potions based on various local specialties cannot be reproduced in other worlds, "and if things change in the future, Potions may become a bridge to ease the relationship between wizards and Muggles, and mastering it may come in handy......"

"Muggles?" The owner of the potion shop didn't expect Muggles to be mentioned in this topic.

"There is no need to cast a spell, the potion is based entirely on the combination of ingredients, which means that as long as you have the right materials and the right operation process, you can complete the potion configuration, regardless of who prepares it, and Muggles don't matter." It can even be non-human, mechanical automated assembly line production.

A future savior classmate who has been studying Potions for a few semesters and turned over as an honor student with a notebook proves this.

"The reason wizards look down on Muggles is that Muggles can't use magic." Lyle raised his finger, and the potion bottles on the shelves in the potion shop floated to his side, pressed against his waist, "What if one day, all Muggles carry dozens of potions for various purposes?" Use potions when you need them, and the gap between the two sides can be narrowed by more than half. ”

Of course, the gap still exists, Muggles armed to the teeth are still Muggles, and the strength of the soul determines everything, but don't forget that wizards are equally strong and weak within them.

The owner of the potion shop, who had always been an amiable elder, suddenly put away his smile and said with a straight face: "Lyle, you must not mess around. ”

"Rest assured, I know better than anyone how much damage it would be for the wizarding community to let Muggles master potions technology." Lyle smiled, the establishment of a certain world of Orb Star proves that he has always been a staunch campist, helping whichever camp he was born in.

“…… Call. The owner of the potion shop breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she didn't believe Muggles could learn Potions, what if?

Lyle waved his hand, and the potion bottles floated back to their original positions: "But now that the conflict between wizards and Muggles is getting more and more intense, it is not ruled out that one day, a big war will break out between the two sides, and I don't think anyone will be so mad as to want to kill all Muggles, right?" ”

"Naturally." The owner of the potion shop nodded heavily, and she often traveled away from Hyareth when she was younger, but she didn't always use Floo powder to move around the wizarding world, and she often came into contact with Muggles.

She didn't know what the other wizards thought, anyway she thought Muggles and wizards were human!

"If you want to end the war, you can of course continue to use the Confusion Charm and the Muggle Expulsion Charm to form isolation." Lyle has never liked this model of deception and lies in exchange for peace, but he will not discourage others from adopting it, "but there is another solution, and that is to create a society where both sides can live...... Don't you think potions-related industries can come in handy? ”

“!”

Muggles cannot serve industries that require the use of magic.

An industry that is completely unrelated to magic, and wizards don't need it much.

Muggles can produce potions, and wizards need them.

This 'bridge' not only bridges the gap between wizards and Muggles, but also provides a place to live.

"Of course, this is just one of the small plans, and it's too difficult to create a society like that, so wait for the next Merlin." Lyle stretched and picked up the potion he had refined and looked at it carefully, "...... At the end of the day, I didn't intend to be a legendary wizard who changed the world, I love the villagers here, and I wouldn't mind living in the village for the rest of my life if I could. ”

》》》》》》》

“…… Did he think so? Lyle's views on Potions soon reached Serzeweed's ears.

It wasn't a serious report, and Selzewede didn't give an order to 'keep a close eye on Lyle', but the owner of the potion shop shared it casually during the chat, and it wasn't a conversation that had to be kept secret.

Serzeveld asked the village chief, "The outside world...... What has become of it now? ”

"According to the Lemays, Muggle religious groups are organizing a campaign to hunt down wizards, and most of those caught are sentenced to death." The village chief, who had not left the village for many years, could only answer with information from Mr. and Mrs. Lemay.

“…… ...... so," Selzewede muttered with a lonely expression, "perhaps...... It's really time for me to step down......"
