The news of the postponement of the opening ceremony of the school hunt spread in a big way on Thursday morning.

There are all kinds of rumors in the school.

From demons attacking the school's stronghold in the Mariana Trench, to the natives of the New World revolting in a massive uprising, or this year's resurgence of the Silent Forest, where some horrific creatures and the school's leaders are fighting to suppress the forest's restlessness.

In short, strange remarks are endless.

So much so that after the pharmacy class began, there were still people whispering in the audience and discussing this issue.

Professor Li had to stop his opening remarks and announce the announcement to everyone that he had planned to do so when class ended.

"I know that many people have their own opinions about the postponement of this hunt...... That's not a reason why you don't take your classes seriously. Professor Li's thin gossamer voice fluttered through the classroom, looking like he would be out of breath at any moment.

It also forced many students to abandon their gaze and try to capture every word the professor uttered.

"Due to the recent tense security situation in the school, after careful discussion between the joint meeting of professors and the school working committee, in order to ensure the personal safety of the students, the opening ceremony of this year's school hunting meeting was postponed to mid-October...... The exact time has not yet been determined, but it will certainly be held before the frost falls. ”

"You should be able to get more detailed information from the counsellor at the class meeting at the weekend. ”

"Well, that's all I know. ”

"I hope that you can maintain an active learning state in the following classes, and do not be distracted by external factors in the matters that you really need to pay attention to. ”

Speaking of this, Professor Li picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea slowly.

Then, as if he had remembered something, he put his hand into his robe, fumbled for a long time, and held up a glass vial.

It contained a small half-bottle of purple-black liquid, shimmering mysteriously in the sunlight.

"Does anyone know what this is?" Professor Li stretched out his voice and looked at the young wizards in the classroom with an inquiring gaze, "If you are not sure...... Oh, everybody knows that. ”

The second half of his sentence was interrupted by the raised arms in the front row of the classroom.

Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise.

There are many dark purple liquids, such as grape juice, potassium permanganate solution, litmus solution, and so on. Looking at the small bottle the professor held up, it was impossible to tell exactly what was inside.

But contrary to Zheng Qing's expectations, almost all the girls in the classroom raised their hands.

In contrast, among the boys, only Xiao Xiao raised his hand - it is not surprising that Dr. Xiao can even talk about the popular perfume color and flavor style this year.

"What's in the bottle?" Zheng Qing pushed the big doctor next to him with his arm.

Xin Fatzi and Zhang Jixin, who were sitting in the front row, also cleverly turned their bodies to the side and pricked up their ears.

"Belladonna juice. Xiao Xiao's lips squirmed slightly, and he explained quickly: "Belladonna, also known as beauty grass, is a perennial herb of the Solanaceae family and belladonna, native to Europa, likes to be warm and moist, avoids cold and high temperatures, and has a slightly bitter and pungent smell; ”

"But there's a lot of purple liquid!" Fat Xin finally couldn't help it, turned his head, and retorted in a low voice: "I can read you a long list without turning to the encyclopedia......"

"But the purple liquid that has been selling most in schools lately is belladonna juice. Xiao Xiao glanced at the fat man expressionlessly: "This is also the reason why the girls can recognize it, but you don't know it." ”

"Why?" Zheng Qing asked curiously.

"Because belladonna juice has the effect of contact lenses. Xiao Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said the answer lightly: "This is a very old method of makeup, which first arose in the Apennine Peninsula...... In medieval Italy, women would drip belladonna juice into their eyes in order to make their eyes look bigger...... In fact, the Italian word belladonna is spelled bella donna, which means beauty. ”

"Bella Donna?" Zheng Qing felt a little familiar as he read the somewhat familiar word.

"Lady Bella?!" Fat Xin looked like a ghost: "Lady Bella means beauty?...... No offense, I didn't notice what was so pretty. ”

"Poof. Zheng Qing lowered his head, and his shoulders shrugged violently.

Mrs. Bella is the head nurse at the school hospital.

She is a tall, well-built female nurse.

Just like Fat Xin said, the gap between this name and the word beauty is indeed a bit big.

"Everyone's name carries good wishes, but not every good wish can come true. Zhang Jixin stopped the ridicule of several boys and said in a very serious tone: "A name is a very serious carrier, and it is very impolite to laugh at other people's names. ”

"I'm sorry. Zheng Qing held back a smile and expressed his apologies with a serious face.

Fat Xin snorted twice in his nose and quietly turned back to the front row.

On the podium, Professor Li didn't seem to notice the whispering between the boys in the corner of the room. After picking up a few girls to ask for answers, he waved his hand and motioned for the others to lower their arms.

"I should have expected this outcome. The professor smiled softly, his gaze slid over the faces of the young wizards, and slowly explained:

Just like the previous students answered...... This is belladonna juice. ”

"The potion made with the juice of the ripe berries of belladonna grass as the main ingredient is often used by therapists in antispasmodic, analgesic, and antiperspirant prescriptions, and is very effective in the treatment of gastrointestinal colic and excessive gastric juice secretion...... Belladonna is a standard potion of wolf poison, which can somewhat curb the werewolf's manic urge to eat, as well as the pain of transformation. ”

"Of course, girls should be aware of another side effect of belladonna juice – pupil dilation. ”

"That is, dilated pupils...... Belladonna juice can dilate your pupils to some extent, achieving the effect of non-physical contact lenses. ”

"But I'm not trying to recommend this ancient herbal extract to everyone today......

The professor's statement was very funny, and there was a suppressed laughter in the classroom.

"Belladonna contains a variety of alkaloids — including hyoscyamine, scopolamine, and, in small amounts, atropine — which are deadly venoms at certain doses. ”

"Even with strict dosage control, prolonged pupil dilation can cause loss of focus in both eyes, vision loss, and even intermittent blindness in severe cases. ”

"As far as I know, no wizard can get a registered wizard certificate without being blind. ”

“...... Perhaps because of the school hunt, the number of transactions for herbs such as belladonna juice with certain beauty effects on campus has risen rapidly recently...... But Uncle Stendhal of the Hundred Herbs Garden was not at all happy. ”

"It's not good news. ”

"You should focus more on your schoolwork...... So that when you actually become a registered wizard, in another hundred years, your appearance will still be the same, and you will have plenty of time to dress yourself. ”

"If you don't become a registered wizard, it won't take fifty years for you to be old and old. ”

The classroom was silent, and everyone held their breath and listened carefully to the professor's intimidation.

Especially the girls.

Zheng Qing noticed that Li Meng was clutching her cousin's robe tightly, and her face turned pale.

Her pupils also looked slightly larger than usual.

I don't know if belladonna juice was used.

On the podium, Professor Li's earnest teachings have not stopped.

“...... You must know that the school hunt is only the beginning of the moon hunt, and the dance party is not the whole of the moon hunt...... Moon Hunt is a long event that lasts for a whole month...... There are also many activities such as hunting exhibitions, hunting competitions, and so on. ”

"Don't be blinded by the wider world. ”

“...... Of course, in the end, I would like to remind you of the ...... Especially the ladies in the class. ”

"You're all young, both with smooth skin and sparkling eyes – youth is the best beauty medicine. It's also fascinating that you don't drip belladonna juice into your eyes. ”

"Beauty maintained with potions is as addictive as poppies. ”

"It will also kill you slowly like poppies. ”

"Remember, everyone has a yearning for beauty. But don't do anything you regret in order to maintain your beauty and youth. ”

"This desire is not something that can be eliminated by a drop of venom. You will pay a high and heavy price for this. ”
