Chapter 645: Herbal Medicine Lesson - Deworming the Campanula
"So, will the Room of Requirement continue to consume the mental energy of the person who opens the door?" Sherlock sat back next to Zoe with two glasses of pumpkin juice.
"Huh!" Zoe was still sulking, so she took the pumpkin juice from Sherlock's hand, covered her head and drank it.
"Drink slowly, be careful not to choke."
"Cough, cough, cough..."
"Uh..." What did you say? Sherlock looked at Zoe's aggrieved and shy little red face and couldn't help but laugh.
“You’re still laughing at me~” There was a hint of crying in Zoe’s voice.
"No, I just think you are really cute!"
"Yes...really?" Zoe said with a smile through tears.
"Of course!" Sherlock nodded.
"Okay, then I forgive you." A child's temper comes out of nowhere and goes away inadvertently.
After breakfast, the two of them parted ways again.
Zoe was going to attend Madam Pomfrey's medical class in the classroom next to the school hospital. This was probably the only class she would not skip.
Sherlock, on the other hand, is going to Greenhouse No. 3 for herbal medicine classes.
There are a total of eight greenhouses in the college. Each greenhouse has a different environment and grows herbs with different growth requirements.
What Sherlock is going to come into contact with today is bluebell, a plant suitable for growing in mild environments.
Their leaves make a sound like wind chimes when blown by the wind, hence the name bellflower.
"Today we are going to deworm the bluebells. Can anyone tell me what the bluebells are used for?" Professor Sprout asked.
"The sound of bluebells has a calming effect on the mind." A female mage raised her hand and answered.
"That's right, is there any more?"
"The bulbs of bluebells can be used to refine concentration potion." Another person raised his hand and answered.
"Very good, then does anyone know what to pay attention to when deworming bluebells?" Professor Sprout asked again.
"You have to move gently, and let the breeze keep blowing their leaves. You can only touch their leaves after you hear the sound of wind chimes, otherwise the bellflowers will raise sleeping powder to protect themselves."
"That's right. A piece of bluebell sleeping powder is enough to make an adult thunder beast sleep for half a day. So if you don't want to sleep all day in the greenhouse, be sure to wear a mask during the pest control period. It
It can filter most dust in the air."
"Next, I will demonstrate it to you. Please pay attention to my movements."
Sprout first used a wind formation to create a breeze. After the wind chimes sounded, he used tweezers to carefully cut off the tiny borers on the bluebell leaves.
Sprout still seems to be able to do two things at once, and he still seems to be able to do both things with ease, and he can even tell everyone some tips on how to get rid of pests.
As the headmaster of Hufflepuff, Professor Sprout's magical talent may not be high, but after long-term practice, her control of magic has reached a very terrifying stage.
If they really fight, they won't necessarily lose to Vice Principal McGonagall or the other two deans.
"Okay, come and try it." Sprout clapped his hands to indicate that everyone could start: "Remember to adjust the wind power first and then remove the insects!"
"Yes, Professor!" everyone said excitedly.
They were all teenagers, at the age when their curiosity is inflated, so they couldn't wait to adjust the blast formation.
It's just that many things that involve hands-on work can be done once you see it, but you can't do it once you do it.
Before, everyone saw Professor Sprout acting so relaxedly, so they subconsciously underestimated the difficulty of deworming bluebells.
When they started operating it with their own hands, they discovered that they couldn't even do the most basic task of stably maintaining the blast circle.
Not to mention, on top of that, you still have to be distracted to get the tweezers to catch the insects.
Sherlock is not a mage, but because he practices golden shuriken, his control over magic power is higher than that of most spellcasters of the same level.
Under his control, a breeze quickly blew out of the wind formation.
Ring ring ring——
After the wind chimes continued to ring for three seconds, he was ready to get the tweezers on the table.
But as soon as he had this idea, the breeze suddenly weakened.
Although the change in the wind was not obvious and the bluebells did not show any stress reaction, Sherlock still stopped his movements.
It took him three minutes to get used to the strength of the magic power before he took action again.
He held a pair of bamboo tweezers as long as his index finger in his hand, as if he were holding a weight weighing a thousand gold, and tremblingly dug into the thick saw-shaped leaves of the bluebell.
"Classmate Sherlock, pay attention to your wind power!"
Hearing Sprout's reminder, Sherlock was suddenly startled, only to realize that he had unknowingly gradually increased his magic output, and the sound of the bellflowers had stopped at some point.
If you poke it with tweezers at this time, you will definitely get a nose full of sleeping powder.
"Thank you, Professor Sprout!" Sherlock stopped the magic power delivery.
"You are the best new student with magic control that I have ever seen. Don't worry, try it a couple more times and see."
"Um!"
Sherlock nodded and tried again.
In fact, if he turns on the blue frog form, with the control of magic power and strong observation ability in this form, it will become much easier to deworm the bluebells.
It's just that this is a training process. If you cheat again, you won't be doing it at the expense of others.
After seven consecutive failures, Sherlock finally found some sense and successfully pinched the first caterpillar from the bluebell.
"careful!"
An exclamation suddenly interrupted Sherlock's joy. He turned around and found that the little wizard beside him had accidentally torn off a bluebell leaf, and a large cloud of lavender pollen instantly dispersed.
Come.
Professor Sprout's mask is a magic item, but it cannot completely filter out the hypnotic powder, especially this time the amount is so large.
The boy was the first to fall to the ground, and the others jumped away when they saw this.
Fire and Wind Shuriken!
In Sherlock's palm, the two elements of wind and fire were constantly intertwined and rotating, absorbing all the surrounding pollen, and then burning it all with the flames in it.
Soon, the purple fluorescence in the air was completely purified.
"Very good. Not only was he the first to successfully pinch out the moths from the bluebells, he was also able to use magic flexibly to solve an unexpected incident. Ten points for Sherlock!" Sprout praised with a smile, and then let everyone continue.
Pest removal.
A small situation does not affect the continuation of class.
However, by the end of get out of class, including Sherlock, only three people had completed the classroom task of deworming the bluebells.
After class, Sherlock stayed alone and asked: "Professor Sprout, do you think bluebells can survive if planted on a mountain peak?"
"Bluebells generally grow in valleys or plains, and the wind on the mountain peaks is a bit too strong for them." Sprout was very fond of the student: "Why do you have this idea?"
"I think it would be beautiful if I could hear the sound of wind chimes where the mountain wind blows." Sherlock wanted to plant it near Shanda Keer's altar. Perforated stone pillars and bluebells might be a good place.
combination.
"It is indeed beautiful. When these bluebells produce seeds, I can leave a small packet for you."
