Chapter 70: Life-Sustaining Elixir
"Bang, bang, bang"
"Come in!"
Pushing Snape open his office, Ike saw the Potions professor sitting at his desk grading homework.
Although young wizards generally disliked Snape, it cannot be denied that he was indeed very good at teaching and was very serious about grading assignments.
Of course, it would be better to ignore his comments.
"Is your head troll's? The answer is on page 374, line 8 of the textbook! ”
Ike stepped forward and saw Snape finish writing the line, and then write a big D.
Exactly in line with his usual style.
"Mr. Stred, if you look any further, I can't rule out that I'll keep your eyes here." Professor Snape didn't lift his head, flipped through the next assignment, glanced up and down, and wrote down a vicious line.
"Professor Snape, I just have something I want to ask you for." Ike replied, "I heard that your private collection was stolen?" ”
Putting down the quill, Professor Snape looked at Ike with his indifferent eyes, and said word for word, "So, our great Mr. Strand knows who that shameful thief is?" Do I need extra points for Ravenclaw? ”
"Of course, Professor." Ike didn't shy away from Snape's eyes, and his tone was flat, "It's the one who can't name it." ”
"Humph!" Snape apparently didn't believe Ike's words, and immediately replied, "The Dark Lord? So you think it was the Dark Lord who unleashed the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets and caused the attack? ”
"Yes, Professor Snape."
Ike nodded, and Snape sneered, and replied in a strange way, "I thought you were so smart that you could turn the Dark Lord around, but now it seems that you are no different from the idiots I usually see." ”
"As far as I know, your great teacher is now living in the forests of Albania!"
"I'm not talking about the wretched creature waiting for his faithful servant to be saved." Ike shook his head, summoned a chair to sit down with a wave of his left hand, leaned forward slightly, and asked softly, "Professor Snape, do you know about Horcruxes?" ”
"Horcrux ......" Professor Snape still looked cold, but Ike could see it clearly, and his hands shook a little.
Ike smiled, took the charred notebook from his robe, placed it on the table, and pushed it forward.
"I picked up this notebook about two weeks ago."
"It's amazing, it can talk to me and teach me some magic."
Gently flipping open the title page, he pointed out the name that was still faintly visible to Snape.
"Something happened after that, I got into a fight with this guy in the diary, and I accidentally got this thing like this."
"Professor Snape, the only thing I can think of that can hold a person's soul and keep him with some memory and spell-casting abilities, all I can think of is a Horcrux."
"Besides, it belongs to ......"
"Tom Marvolo Riddle......" Snape whispered the name on the title page, then pulled out his wand and tapped it in his notebook.
Ike shook his head, "It's ruined, Professor. ”
"Mr. Stred!" Snape stood up, flicking his robe and putting his notebook away, "Do you know what you've done?" ”
"Of course, Professor." Ike nodded, "I've discovered the secret that the Dark Lord can't be killed. ”
Ike could clearly see the excitement and anger in Snape's eyes, and he knew very well that after that night twelve years ago, the man in front of him was still alive only to kill the Dark Lord.
Now that he knows the answer, even as an outstanding occlusion brain master in the world, he still can't completely hide his emotions.
"You shouldn't have told me, Ike......" With a wave of Snape's wand, a white light rushed into the fireplace and vanished, "Dumbledore needs to know about this. ”
"Of course, the headmaster will know." Ike replied, "The guy in there wasn't killed, though, he ran out......"
"What!" Professor Snape's pupils shrank for a moment, then he turned and pushed open the door to his private collection and strode inside.
"Keep up! Ike. ”
Walking into Snape's private collection, Ike was shocked. The first thing that caught my eye was an adult Ukrainian iron-bellied corpse fixed in the air, and its hideous appearance was very terrifying.
The walls around it are full of cabinets, which contain large and small glass bottles, soaked in the corpses of magical creatures of all sizes. The head of a unicorn, the complete invisible beast, the cat, the bird and snake, everything written in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is all here, and there are also those that are not recorded. If it weren't for some herbs, it wouldn't look like a storage room for potions materials.
Professor Snape stood underneath the Ukrainian iron belly, raised his wand in his right hand, and slashed through the air a few times, and the surrounding cabinets opened, and the materials inside moved, and then the numbers that glowed red appeared.
After comparing them one by one, Professor Snape waved his wand again, and everything was back to normal.
"Mr. Stred, what do you think of the horns of a two-horn, the skin of the African tree serpent, the blood of a unicorn, half a dragon's heart, a pint of dragon's blood, and the venom of a two-pint viper?"
"Professor, does the blood of a dead unicorn also have the ability to sustain a person's life?"
Professor Snape duly showed disdain and replied, "Whether the unicorn lives or dies, as long as you drink its blood, you can continue to live." ”
"Mr. Stred, I didn't expect you to know anything as simple as that."
"Yes, Professor, I don't know." Ike was calm, "That's why I need you to answer for me, don't you?" ”
Snape snorted coldly, and with a wave of his dark robes, he walked out of the collection room first, and Ike followed.
Back in the office, the two sat opposite each other.
Snape tucked his hands into his wide sleeves and looked cold again.
"Is there anything else you need to tell me, Mr. Stred?"
"No, Professor." Ike shook his head, then asked, "Do you know what he's doing with these materials?" ”
Snape nodded, and said in an unchanging tone, "You already know what the unicorn's blood is used for. The dragon's heart and dragon's blood will enhance the sorcerer's physique because of the characteristics of the dragon itself. Of course, this is only the most superficial way to use it. ”
"If you add the venom of a poisonous snake, the skin of a toad, the bone of a centipede, the silk of a spider, the shell of a scorpion, the eyes of a pufferfish, and the egg of a bird and snake, you will get a powerful potion after boiling......"
"Drinking this potion can prolong a person's life, so it is called a life-sustaining potion."
"Of course, life-sustaining elixirs are not as powerful as elixirs, it can only last for a year at most, and it only has an effect when you drink it for the first time."
"The development of this potion is complicated and takes several months."
"So Professor, you mean, he's not going to do anything for a while?"
Snape nodded.
"Yes, Mr. Stred."
