Chapter 360: Magical Botany
Eventually, the classroom was filled with a full classroom.
Even in the back row of the classroom, there are quite a few professors sitting there.
Professor McGonagall seems to have left her students in the classroom for the exam, and then came over to listen to the lecture herself.
Of course, it's really hard to say how much of this is to give Luke face.
However, judging from the fact that other professors also came to join in the fun, they were still a little curious about this foreign monk.
Jenkins looked at the crowded classroom in front of him.
There are obviously more people in the greenhouse than before, although the area is also much larger, but what is even more rare is that this time there is obviously more order. There are a lot of people, but they are well organized.
The so-called "open class" is the first time Jenkins has heard of it today. Judging by the reactions of the professors and the students at the time, it was the first time they knew about it. It doesn't matter if Luke created this way of teaching himself, or if Luke learned it from Muggles. In any case, Luke's ability is really on display at this time.
Jenkins looked at Luke, who was sitting on the Diaoyu Tai and the old god was there, and couldn't help but nodded.
The environment of this classroom has become similar to that of a greenhouse. It took Luke and Professor McGonagall ten minutes to make it. Although many of the magical plants are in vain, the atmosphere is really good.
As for the herbs that were needed in the original preparation of this class, Luke also arranged for the students to move over.
Fortunately, in this lesson, there were no plants that were difficult to move. If anything, Luke would have to find another way.
After a series of operations, things are quite orderly, and he can be regarded as handy in dealing with similar things by himself. So the overall performance
There is no vanity under the fame, and for Luke Gant, it is indeed better to be famous than to meet.
After the last belated Professor Trelawney was seated, Luke got up and said to Jenkins, "Alright, Professor, we can get started."
Jenkins nodded, then said to Luke, "You've done a great job."
"Just doing what was supposed to be done. Besides, my mission is complete, and the task of teaching you has only just begun."
Luke turned his head to look at the dense figure under the podium, and said, "Don't be too stressed, Professor. After all, it's no different from a normal class, and you still don't know a few students except for a few students."
When the last sentence was spoken, the tone was actually a little relaxed. Apparently he also saw Jenkins' nervousness, and then specially asked him to relax.
Jenkins sensed Luke's kindness and smiled, "Then I'll just stop ordering the students I know."
The corners of Luke's mouth twitched.
Jenkins smiled a little more happily.
Luke didn't say anything more, and when he turned his head, he only smiled swellingly.
He just did what he had to do and said what he had to say. There is no pretense and acting, he has ideals and ambitions, but it does not mean that he is really a hypocritical person.
He had good intentions towards Jenkins, and even if he was wary of him, he should have no less kindness.
At the end of the day, Luke isn't a bad guy.
He's just an ordinary person. has its own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, as well as its own plans.
Jenkins stood on the podium and looked at the students in front of him coughing heavily and clearing his throat.
The students, who were not very noisy in the first place, had become silent at this time. Jenkins smiled softly and said to the students, "Welcome to my class. To be honest, it's really been a dream come true."
As he spoke, he walked to the podium and picked up a seed under everyone's puzzled eyes. Then he pinched the seed with the two fingers of his left hand, and drew a circle with his right hand on one side of the seed with his wand.
The students didn't know what Jenkins was up to at first. But the next moment, they saw the green
The light also let out an exclamation.
Because that seed, in Jenkins's hands, germinated quickly and grew.
Soon, a red flower appeared in Jenkins's hand, and it was an unsightly flower. The corolla looks like a human face, and the expression is quite hideous.
This is the Soul Attracting Flower, which, in the legends of the wizarding world, lives in graveyards and ghoul lairs, and is a condensed product of the breath of death, which will become unfortunate if a wizard gets close.
But in fact, this flower really has nothing to do with the breath of death, and since the middle of this century, the further development of potions science has also promoted the progress of herbalism, so the truth about the soul flower has also been excavated.
In the end, it just needs a lot of nutrients and a dark and damp living environment.
Moreover, the soul-attracting flower has a good effect on calming the nerves and calming the mind. It is now a common thing for shamans to meditate and meditate.
Outsiders look at the bustle, insiders look at the doorway.
A group of junior students watched Jenkins' performance and just felt the magic of Jenkins' magic. Even the young wizards who live in the wizarding world are not able to see high-level rare magic every day.
So it's normal to have feelings of surprise and even surprise.
And anyone who knows a lot about it, or someone who knows a little bit about it, knows how difficult it can be.
[In view of the general environment,
Professor McGonagall, for example, has not studied life magic in the true sense of the word. But every Transfiguration master who has come to the end of Transfiguration will study the magic of life.
After all, Transfiguration wants to open up. Or study the Animagus and start with the spell of the Animagus. Or they are thinking about how to give real life to the things that have come out.
The latter is actually more difficult than the former. But comparatively speaking, there are more masters who devote themselves to life-giving research, after all, the latter is much safer than the former.
The former really wants to use his own life as an experimental prop.
After all, there are very few wizards who can learn the Animagus.
And now, the ability to use the infusion of life force to give birth to plants has surprised many knowledgeable wizards, including Luke.
"Is there such an operation? It's so delicate to control the life force."
Luke couldn't help but sigh.
Taylor, who was sitting next to him, nodded: "Very special ability, I don't know if it's a talent."
If it's talent, there's really nothing to say. It's not good luck. This is indeed a time in life that must be had, and there is no time in life to force it.
But if it can be exercised the day after tomorrow. Then Jenkins is probably guilty of it.
Don't really think that the so-called stagnant atmosphere in the wizarding world is hello, hello, hello, everyone.
That would be a puddle of still water at best. Stagnant water will generally be dirty.
And Fleur, who was sitting in the back row of Luke, couldn't help frowning when she listened to Luke's exclamation. And Chrissy on the other side was also brightly eyed, as if she had found some treasure.
Packed the swaying soul-attracting flower into the can. Jenkins smiled and said to everyone, "Everyone should be familiar with the Soul Attraction Flower."
Most of the students below nodded. It should be said that the students of the pure-blood wizard family basically nodded. Soul attraction flowers can be planted on a large scale, although they are still relatively delicate when swollen. But it grows so distinctively, and it has other functions, so almost every corner of the garden has to be planted with a few trees.
There were even a few students who raised the water cups in their hands, and their water cups were soaked in soul-attracting flowers. Although the soul-attracting flower is not very expensive, it is definitely not a consumer product like Indian tea.
After all, after all, it is still a magic plant, and the price is there, and it is not too expensive to use it as a raw material for a potion, because once it is refined into a potion, the value of the house will be doubled
。 But if it's used as a soaking thing, it's really not good if you don't have a little money.
Luke keenly noticed that the air in the sealed jar had basically been pulled away. In other words, now in that jar, it is basically a vacuum.
Just when everyone nodded yes, the sound of "Dongdong Dong" suddenly came from the glass can.
Everyone followed the sound and looked over. Jenkins, on the other hand, looked at the students with a mysterious smile on his face.
In the jar, the soul-attracting flower, which was already a little hideous, had become extremely hideous and terrifying at this time. The red corolla changed from bright red to blood red. The face became clearer at this time, and it was more like a human face full of resentment.
I don't know who it was among the students, so I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then all the students couldn't look directly at the flower in front of them, which they often saw and even drank.
The students, who had proudly raised their cups, put down their glasses in a huff. There were even a few students who moved their water glasses a little further away from them.
After all, this thing looks like it is really a little unacceptable.
"This is the Soul Attraction Flower. Really, a very special and magical plant."
Jenkins opened his mouth to explain, "They have been confirmed to have no necessary connection to death. The so-called soul attraction is nothing more than speculation based on its appearance."
"However, we can see that many people can't believe that they have nothing to do with the spirits."
Souls, and even ghosts, are not terrible in the wizarding world. After all, the soul is something that everyone has. Ghosts, on the other hand, are souls that have obsessions that cannot be dissipated.
But the spirits are different. It's the kind of thing that hurts. And because it hurts the soul, there are very few spells that can resist the attacks of the spirits in the wizarding world.
However, there are very few advanced forms of ghosts such as ghosts. I don't usually touch it a few times, so it's not a big problem.
"What is the specific relationship between the Wraith and the Soul Attraction Flower, we can't be sure."
As he spoke, he handed the encapsulated jar in front of the students' eyes.
At this time, in the sealing can, the soul attraction flower was already motionless, almost the same as when it was in Jenkins's hands at the beginning.
But when everyone looked at the flower, they felt that something was missing from it.
"This flower is 'dead'."
Hermione looked at the scene in front of her with some amazement, and couldn't help but whisper with emotion.
Luke, on the other hand, nodded, "Strange thing."
There are many students below who react like them. Jenkins' lecture has clearly piqued everyone's interest. Even the professors sitting at the back of the room watched with relish.
Professor McGonagall stabbed Hagrid's big elbow with her small arm, then asked, "Do you know what's going on?"
Hagrid shook his head decisively and said, "I know about magical plants, but I'm really not proficient. And I've never heard of such a situation in the Soul Attracting Flower!"
Hagrid himself was confused. He's an expert in magical animal conservation, but it's a humbling thing to say that he's not proficient in magical plants. After all, as a hunting ground guard, if you really weren't proficient in magical plants, you wouldn't have been doing it for so many years.
After all, compared to animals, they will pay attention to the difference in strength between each other, and choose to actively avoid the half-giant Hagrid, some plants are really meat and vegetarian, and Hagrid's size will also be dangerous when it encounters such a plant.
As the warden of the hunting grounds, the master who patrols the Forbidden Forest is also proficient in the basic knowledge of magical plants.
He said that the kind of picture in front of him is unfamiliar, and I am afraid that it is unfamiliar to the entire academic community.
And the shock Jenkins brought to them didn't end.
He opened the lid of the canister, and in an instant, a gushing fragrance poured out.
The faint scent reminded Luke of the orchids that bloomed alone in the valley, and reminded him of his previous life when he walked in the locust grove during the flower season.
The feeling between the two is not too different, but it gives Luke a similar feeling.
"It smells so good. And it's a very high-end incense."
Although Pansy is a female man's character, she knows a little bit about tasting incense.
"The top notes are elegant, the middle notes are lingering, and the back notes are long. If you want to make perfume, just add a little bit of fragrance."
It's not easy. This also shows that there is still a lot of room for development of the Soul Attraction Flower. If nothing else, that alone is enough to make the person who first found out make a lot of money.
However, there is still no similar perfume smell on the market. That said, no one has ever used it to make perfumes.
So...... Why?
Pansy didn't lower her voice. Therefore, Jenkins also heard her words. So he smiled and said, "This classmate's analysis is very correct, this is indeed a great perfume raw material. When I first found out, I thought it was a good opportunity."
"But it didn't take long for me to realize that this thing couldn't be used like this."
"Because it's called the Soul Attracting Flower, a name that has been handed down from ancient times, there is indeed a certain truth to it."
Before Pansy could ask what the reasoning was, she saw several ghosts roaming around Hogwarts burrow into the classroom, look around, and float towards the location of the Soul Flower.
Jenkins didn't hold back, and sent the Soul Attraction Flower in his hand to the corner of the classroom next to the podium with his wand, along with the sealing jar. And those ghosts didn't even look at Jenkins, and they all chased after me towards the location where the soul attraction flower was.
Eventually they stopped in front of the canister and sniffed greedily at the flowers. You know, the senses of ghosts are very different from those of living people. Most of the living people sneer at things that are precious, or they are not blessed.
And their cuisine is the same for the living.
But now, the Soul Attraction Flower seems to have become a bridge between the living and the ghost in a sense.
"This is the magic of botany. What you think is often not all there is to this plant."
"Every miracle plant, every herb, has the potential for a new future."
