Chapter Eighty-Four: The Elixir of Misfortune
The seal on the second layer is not perfect.
On the outside, the opaque jars are small and delicate, with strange carvings such as squirrels and whales, all of which are derived from the ancient mythology of Iceland itself.
The wand lightly pressed against the mouth of the can, and the black flames burned silently around the mouth of the can, in a circle.
As one of the few powerful black magic in the dark arts that can destroy Horcruxes, the Mighty Fire Curse is essentially its burning nourishment.
"It's not the black sand ...... of the Bund"
Professor Danlin stared with bated breath as she heard Professor Malfoy's voice with some regret.
"The Icelandic Ministry of Magic has extremely strict regulations on the Black Beach of Vik."
She whispered.
The outer and inner beaches of Vic's black sand beach are a little different from each other. Even a wizard in the position of director has a hard time getting his hands on the Black Sand Beach. After all, they're just too dangerous.
Of course, the only people who have access to that part are the Minister of Magic, the Director of the Department of Mysteries, and the top of the International Federation of Wizards.
Professor Dan Lin didn't know what was going on, it was a little-known secret.
"Of course, oh, of course." Professor Malfoy whispered under his breath, and he slowly opened the mouth of the jar with his wand. The repeated black gas overflowed almost the moment the mouth of the tank was opened, but it was blocked by the fierce fire and could not get out at all.
The black fire was very well-behaved under the traction of the wand, and a black phoenix with beautiful wings, which was finely carved and shrunk countless times, grabbed the edge of the mouth of the can, looking at the thick darkness inside, standing quietly.
"The black sand of Vic Beach, it is the main ingredient for making the potion of misfortune."
"Elixir of misfortune?" As a professor of potions, it was the first time Professor Danlin had heard the name of this potion.
"A potion that is the exact opposite of the effect of the elixir, because of the loss of the formula and the disappearance of the inheritors one by one, its name is only mentioned in some ancient texts."
Professor Malfoy rubbed the walls of the jar and explained.
The Elixir of Misfortune, which was the exact opposite of the Elixir of Fortune, of course, for the sake of symmetry, he had always liked to call this Elixir of Fortune.
Every grain of black sand is damned, and the elixir it refines can make a wizard bad for decades with just one drop.
As small as queuing up to check out, it is always the queue on the other side that is fast, and big enough to walk on the road well, and it is blasted by God's five thunders and split into coke.
A standard bottle of diluted Elixir is mixed with water, and through the water circulation, it can even silently curse everything in a city.
And when rainwater, drinking water, groundwater, all the water sources are polluted, it is a sign that everything used in the city is going to be in bad luck.
The potions that involve the most feared fate, whether they are elixirs of blessing or exhaustion, are the highest potions of potions.
The market price of a standard bottle of Elixir is about 2,000 gold Galleons, and due to the scarcity of items, the 'lucky potion' that only appears in large auctions often sells for around 13,000 to 10,000 gold Galleons per bottle.
It's almost eight or nine times more than enough to sell.
After all, the rarer, the more precious. The more precious it is, the more difficult it is to refine.
And the market price of the exhaustive agent ...... It can't be sold at all, and it may be found in dark magic shops, but even in places that specialize in selling things that are regulated and forbidden by law, you may not be able to find a whole bottle of Elixir.
Because once it appears, it will be copied by the Ministry of Magic or the International Confederation of Wizards.
"The black sand of Vic Beach is one of the few I can identify that can be used to make a potion of misfortune."
The main recipe of the Misfortune Elixir is not single, and it can even be said that any of the ingredients in the main recipe can be taken out separately to make a weakened version of the Misfortune Elixir.
The closure had been completely removed, and the inside of the jar was pitch black, making it impossible to see what was inside.
The flames around the Flame Phoenix distorted the air, making Professor Dan Lin feel a rare hint of heat.
The wand was retracted into his sleeve after opening the lid, and Ranko held the jar in one hand and reached into his pocket with the other, pulling out a long-necked glass bottle filled with a golden liquid.
Unplugged, he bit the mouth of the glass bottle very undignifiedly, and his free hand went directly into the pitch-black jar inside.
The jar was obviously not big, and the black sand was not small, but as if it had reached into the space that had been expanded with the Traceless Stretching Charm, Ranko found that the palm he had reached into did not touch the black sand inside.
Even, he faintly felt that his head had begun to be covered with black clouds at some point.
'It's going to be bad luck. ’
Touching it alone can make people unlucky, even if it's just the black sand on the inner beach, it's not something that can be touched at will.
Professor Malfoy sighed silently, but he didn't stop reaching down.
The golden liquid flowed down the long neck into his mouth, and at the same time, strips of yellow-green cloth appeared on the skin of Professor Malfoy's hand that had reached into the jar.
As if under the influence of the black sand, they quietly loosened a part, revealing the shriveled arms wrapped inside.
On the arm, the surface of the skin that should have been extremely pale was covered with countless dark spots.
There were many tiny sarcomas in the black spots, and as the strips of cloth were loosened, the sarcomas also shattered, and the black-red light that swayed inside.
The cold and rich death air and the violent black-red light blended with each other, as if canceling each other, which also made the black lines floating around the jar unable to pass through the yellow-green cloth strips, completely affecting the owner of the arm.
With his arm sluggishly downward, he eventually fished out a handful of black sand that was in the jar and occupied two-thirds of the way.
Got it.
Even if his arm changed, he was as calm as ever.
When Ranko withdrew his arm, the yellow-green cloth re-applied to the surface of the arm's skin, covering the dark spots and countless small tumors inside, dimming the violent black-red light again, and turning back to its original pale skin.
At the same time, he drank the elixir from his mouth in one gulp, counteracting the effect of the black sand.
"Look, Professor Danlin."
When the last strip of cloth was completely attached to the skin without the slightest abnormality, Professor Malfoy reached out and slowly opened his pale palm in front of Professor Danlin.
In the palm of the hand, it is crystal clear, like the most delicate black sand grain in the world.
Prof. Dan Lin: ......
On the black sand, something that I thought could be called 'bad luck' was spreading in all directions.
Professor Danlin: !!
Five minutes later.
Professor Malfoy stood at the door of the East Tower, holding a sealed wooden box in his hand, a little confused.
Professor Dan Lin mercilessly threw people and things out of the East Tower, she was afraid that Malfoy's bad luck would infect the East Tower, and many things here could not be tossed!
"Am I disliked?"
Well, it's true, what Black Sand represents is really not very good, and it involves unfortunate potions and curses, and the DeBuff can make people unlucky just by touching...... Well, is pretty bad.
But what bad intentions can he have? I just want to show other professors the most beautiful wonder in the world......
Professor Malfoy remembered Professor Danlin's last look at him, his body shook slightly, and he muttered quietly:
"Why are you so angry......
Professor Danlin :)
