Chapter 154: Under the Final Exam

As this strange magic continued to accumulate and ripple, it finally caught the attention of Dumbledore and Lemay.

"Winter!"

As soon as Dumbledore's magic exploded, everyone was awakened in an instant, and everyone was gathered by the way.

"Oh! My ears. Albus, I hope you wake up gently, because it's easy to be unstable and more likely to be..."

"Merlin! It's a miracle."

Before Nicol could finish complaining, a heavy, sublime aura enveloped the room.

Whoever it was, the magic was almost suspended.

You know, magic, like the world, is constantly in motion.

Such a situation had to surprise Nicol.

He had tried experiments in the past, but they had not succeeded.

He can only reduce the operation of mana at the maximum speed, and if it is reduced to a certain level, the consumption required for each subsequent reduction of the mana speed of a standard scale is almost several times that of the previous reduction.

Of course, the miracle doesn't stop there.

A burst of golden light emerged from the surrounding walls, enveloping the room.

Passing through the crowd, Mr. and Mrs. Lemay were very comfortable in the golden light, as if they felt a lot younger.

The strange magic power was gradually gathered in the center, shining with colorful black, with a thick malice and greed, and finally turned into a solid ball.

The golden light converges in the center, wrapping around the ball.

A halo of silver appeared in the golden light, full of holiness. The halo enveloped the ball, steaming the impurities inside and dissolving the malice inside.

Then, a flash of lightning exploded, and the lightning flashed on the ball.

Finally, the sphere turned into a blue-black transparent crystal that emitted a colorful light.

Everyone watched this happen, with strange expressions on their faces.

If I'm not mistaken, the silver halo is supposed to be a unicorn's purification or blessing magic.

And thunder and lightning, as you can see at a glance, is the magic of the thunderbird.

I just don't know which one, since Thunderbird became a neighbor at Hogwarts, the professor knows several of Thunderbird's signature magic.

They are very familiar with things like [Calling Thunder], [Thunder Guardian], [Thunder Healing] and the like.

Because every once in a while, you can see the King of the Forbidden Forest and Sophia fighting magic above the Black Lake.

Even many of the young wizards in the school worship the King of the Forbidden Forest.

This situation has become even more serious after the emergence of the Forbidden Forest Development Zone.

Under the brainwashing of the younger generation of centaurs and eight-eyed giant spiders, many young wizards also began to call "my king" when they called the king of the forbidden forest.

"Albus? Albus?"

Looking at Dumbledore, who was suddenly stunned, Nicol called softly.

"Ah! What's wrong?"

Dumbledore suddenly came to his senses, looked at Nicol, and asked apologetically.

"It's okay, what's wrong with you?"

Nicol looked at him worriedly and asked.

"It's fine, just something interesting."

Dumbledore touched his white beard and said with a strange expression.

"Huh? Tell me about it."

Nicol immediately looked interested and said.

"The will of Hogwarts and the Forbidden Forest wants me to give it to them."

….

Dumbledore said with interest, gesturing to the crystals dangling in the air.

"Oh? And here's the thing. Didn't you agree?"

Nicol asked.

At this time, Nicol's wife and the professors at Hogwarts were attracted by their conversation and looked at Dumbledore.

"Why didn't you agree. But they don't know how to distribute it."

Dumbledore gave an inexplicable expression.

Everyone also looked at each other, and always felt that they were a little dumbfounded

Stay looked.

"Didn't you assign them an assignment? Or do they disagree with the way you distribute it?"

Nicol asked.

"No, didn't you wake me up? How do you think it should be distributed? Nicol."

Dumbledore said.

"How else can I distribute it, half on each side."

As soon as Nicol's words fell, the crystals in the air were engulfed in golden light.

Under everyone's stunned gaze, the golden light disappeared as soon as it dispersed.

Later, accompanied by Dumbledore and the centaur leader Amanda, the Lemay couple walked around the Forbidden Forest and paid a visit to the King of the Forbidden Forest.

When Ralph met Mr. and Mrs. Lemay, the feathers on his brow lit up with blue charged down.

"The cost of escaping death is not just the flesh."

Inexplicably, he said this, and the bird song echoed around him, overflowing with majesty.

When Mr. and Mrs. Lemay heard this, they were stunned for a moment.

Nicol noticed that in the center of the Forbidden Forest's eyebrows, there was a mark of thunder and lightning, which reminded him of something.

"Honorable King of the Forbidden Forest, thank you for your warning."

As soon as these words came out, Dumbledore and Amanda the centaur were shocked.

"A long time will always find a remedy, and this is one of the things that sustains us to continue to live, although it is very insignificant."

Nicol said.

Next, the few people chatted for a while, and Ralph also released his own thunderbolt avatar and took them to the Star Spring.

Ralph and Mr. and Mrs. Lemay tell the story of the Starspring, and tell them that perhaps the water from the Starspring could help them heal some of their damage.

They also thought they could try it, so they exchanged their magic for some spring water and stored it.

It was also the first time that Ralph and Amanda had seen the limit of the Starfountain in exchange for water, thanks to the magic that Nicol had accumulated for centuries.

After that, Nicol spent a few more days at Hogwarts before leaving to disturb Hogwarts teaching.

The planetarium has only made a rough idea, and more details still need to be filled in by the professors.

Although the construction has not yet been completed, it is still possible to open up some basic functions and give children exams.

For this exam, Professor Sinista made the ceiling and walls completely transparent, and used magic to reduce the obscuration of the clouds, so that the canopy could be revealed to the children's eyes.

In other words, the students were identifying the night sky in nature this time, and it was no longer Professor Sinista's star map.

Ralph was the first to enter their dormitory.

As a thunderbird, he is very familiar with the stars in the sky, and it is instinctive for him to use them to guide the way.

After a while, Ralph walked out, smiling brightly.

Many of the students were relieved to see Ralph's expression, and thought to themselves, 'It doesn't seem to be as difficult as the seniors say.' ,

….

Professor Sinista, who had finished testing Ralph, was also very happy, the first student she had met who was so familiar with the stars.

If it weren't for Professor McGonagall's rules, the extra points would only add 5 points, and she would have liked to add 20 points to Ralph.

The rest of the students, including Ralph's roommate, walked in with confidence on their faces, and then walked out with a skeptical look on their faces.

He looked at Ralph, who was still waiting for his roommate, like a monster.

William came out and punched Ralph directly, venting his inner grief and anger.

"Why did you hit me? Is it that hard? Isn't it all very clear in the book?"

Ralph looked at William and said frankly.

Looking at Ralph's sincere eyes, they were also helpless, should they be able to use it if they have it in the book?

It didn't take long for everyone to go back to bed, and it was already quite late.

At this time, Filch was waiting at the exit with the cat, carrying a lamp.

All by one small

When the wizard walks by, he will give them a vicious gaze and make them consciously shut their mouths.

Only when he met Ralph and his party, he would send an ugly smile, and Ralph and the others smiled in response.

Daniel, who was a little more enthusiastic, even waved at him, as if he had met someone familiar.

This stunned all the young wizards, who wondered when Filch had become so good with Ralph's group.

Not only that, but it was also a strange thing for Barty Jr. and Ralph to get together.

The next morning there was no exam and it was free.

In the afternoon it was the Potions exam.

In the Potions exam, theory accounted for only 30 percent, and practice accounted for the remaining 70 percent.

The theory test covers potion recipes, steps, and the like, and the final question, talking about your prospects for the development of a potion.

The practical test for first-year freshmen is to boil a potion of forgetting.

At the beginning of the exam, Professor Sgrahorn made a point of emphasizing that only potion ingredients from the recipe could be used, and that each person was limited to three ingredients.

And, he also told everyone:

If it is completed with only one copy, the score must be between 75-100 points;

Spent two copies, 60-75 points;

Three servings, 40-60 points.

This completely eliminated the idea that Ralph wanted to do some small operation.

The recipe for the Oblivion Potion is: Lethe River Water, Valerian, and Mistletoe Berries.

The water of the Lethe River is not the water of the Lethe River in the true sense of the word.

It comes in two formulations.

One is made by incorporating the extracted memories into dew that has not been exposed to direct sunlight or has been exposed to it for a long time when the sun rises.

The second is to take the blooming flowers of a flower (all the petals must be there) and add the dew collected from the branches of the willow trees that grow by the living water in a ceramic jar.

In order to make it easier, it is generally buried directly under the leaves of the flower that is taken from the other side of the flower.

After waiting for 7 days, dig out the jar and pour out the liquid inside, and the clear and transparent liquid obtained after multiple filters is the Lethe River water.

The quality of the water produced by the former is uneven, which is greatly affected by the proficiency of the person extracting the memory and the person being extracted.

However, the amount that can be produced at one time is large, and this is how Hogwarts used.

….

Whether it's Dumbledore or Professor Sgrahorn, they're both skilled as extractors and extracted.

Even, they all knew which memories were more suitable for making Forgetting Potions, and which were suitable for other potions.

The quality of the latter is good, and it has been maintained in the middle and upper range, but the steps are quite cumbersome, and the amount that can be produced at one time is not much.

However, Professor Sgrahorn would still make some of these Lethe waters, as some potions would work best with their locks.

Ralph looked at the three recipes on the table, sorted out the equipment, and began to brew the potion.

With a single wand click, the flames ignited, and the water of the Lethe River was put into the crucible, and the small fire slowly boiled.

The Lethe River water they used for the exam was made from memory, and it was the kind that was purchased commercially, and the quality was not very good.

This kind of Lethe River water needs to be boiled slowly until the silver flocculent suspension in the liquid is gone, and then it can be stopped.

During this time, Ralph began to prepare the materials.

Although there are only three potions, it is still a little difficult to make this potion.

In addition to the water of the Lechuan River, the simplest is the mistletoe berry.

We need to prepare two containers, peel the skin and flesh of the berries, store them separately, and wash the juice off the peel, preferably by the flame.

Valerian is a whole plant of the whole grass in the flowering period.

It is necessary to separate its flowers, leaves, stems, and roots, with flowers and leaves in one group and others in their own group.

Rub the flowers slightly and let them scatter; leaf

and berry peel cut into strips; Cut the rhizome into small pieces.

When the Lechuan River water is heated until small bubbles float upwards from the ground, add the flowers and leaves without stirring.

When the color changes from a thick purple-green to a dark purple and fine bubbles appear on the crucible wall, the berry peel is added.

At this point, the color doesn't change much, just the little bubbles retract.

When the small bubbles are completely retracted, as if there is a gaseous membrane between the liquid and the crucible, add the valerian stem.

There is a test point here, that is, you need to leave a long stem to stir, stir the correct number of turns and direction, and then put it in the crucible.

The color changes to a brighter cyan and remains clear.

Yes, we will see that film of gas sticking out of its little tentacles and then disappearing in the liquid.

When the gas film is completely gone, and the small tentacles are gone, you can add the berry pulp.

It is important to note that the pulp does not need to be pitted.

Not only is pitting redundant, but it also makes the potion less effective.

At this step, you don't need to pay much attention, as long as the color changes from cyan to bright purple, and the medicine is clear, you can put in the roots of valerian.

After putting in the roots of valerian, the first thing that changes is the color.

It will change from a bright purple to an opaque, thick, earthy yellow.

At this time, it needs to be boiled over low heat, and bubbles tumble from it until the surface is broken, and the medicine will be clearer.

When the potion becomes completely clear, with purple highlights flashing in the darker earthy yellow, it is time to raise your hand and signal to the professor.

There is no doubt that Ralph and their dormitories have achieved good results.

The last practical exam was Transfiguration, the morning of the day after the Potions exam.

Its score is half to half, fifty percent each.

The practical content is also quite simple.

The exam item is a small wooden block that the candidate needs to deform.

First, make it larger, change it to the maximum volume you can maintain, and hold it for half a minute.

Then, at the suggestion of the professor, it is changed back to its original shape;

Finally, the shape is changed.

There is a premise in the change of form, that is, the change of matter must occur, otherwise this item is not qualified.

Ralph conjured up a pack of paper wrapped in transparent film, so that each layer of paper could be clearly seen and pulled out.

This stunned Dumbledore and gave him a perfect score.

It also has a plus, but it is a test of the student's imagination, which is entirely judged by the professor, and Ralph naturally achieves it.

All the exams for the first year are finally over, and everyone has the ultimate relaxation time.

However, there is still a volume king.

The children in Ravenclaw have already started doing their holiday homework.

Hogwarts Chase Storm.
