Hogwarts: The Gray Wizard Volume 1 The Dark Wizard's Apprentice 284 A Power That Cannot Be underestimated The potion formula has been researched, and all that remains is to configure it. At this time, Anton has no way to use Hogwarts anymore
of resources.
The previous research can be counted as the research consumption allocated to the professor by the magic school, and the potion to be prepared next is a private matter.
The formula he and Professor Snape developed, even if the potion material consumption has been reduced to half, the cost is still higher than the Wolfsbane potion.
As Snape's master of potions, such achievements have really reached their peak. Unless Anton has the ability to innovate in the future, the treatment for werewolves is destined to be at a level that most werewolves cannot afford.
It can only be said that werewolves are a huge problem in themselves.
It is not easy to prepare potion materials by yourself. Not only does it require a huge amount of money, but many potion materials are not circulated in the market at all.
For example, there are some highly toxic drugs in the formula, such as mandrake, which can easily cause death.
These require special channels and connections.
It was at this time that Anton could understand the difficulties faced by the old wizard Fiennes. The thick data recorded too many brilliant ideas that burst out with inspiration, but he was stuck on conjectures because he couldn't find the ingredients for the potion at all.
.
The old wizard sometimes couldn't even figure out what the magic potion materials or herbs mentioned in certain formulas were because there was no place to look up the information, and he missed many direct solutions to the problem.
Anton is lucky. There is a Hogwarts library that covers almost all the information in Europe, and there are too many people to ask for advice.
For super difficult magic principles, you can ask Dumbledore. If you don’t understand herbal medicine, you can ask Professor Sprout. For potions, you can ask Professor Snape. For questions about animals, you can ask Hagrid...
Even sometimes when you don't know which book to look up information in, you can ask Mrs. Pince.
Free master classes and free guidance from experienced people, this kind of treatment will never be encountered again after the young wizards graduate.
At that time, the price to be paid to resolve a question was absolutely huge.
You may even never find the answer in your lifetime.
And these, at Hogwarts, may only take half a day.
It is said in the book "Modern Wizards" that the transition from master-disciple inheritance, family education, to magic school education is the biggest change between ancient wizards and modern wizards. The changes brought about by this turning point are absolutely subversive.
Anton cherishes his time at school.
Of course, the materials for preparing the 'potion to remove human body deformation' still need to be obtained from home.
He wrote a letter to Rozier on the day of the Quidditch final, and finally got a reply today. At night, he used the 'vanishing cabinet' to come home, and Rozier had been waiting for him early.
Mr. Rozier expressed his gratitude to Anton excitedly and asked him not to leave in a hurry, and started talking about topics that belong to adult men.
"Have you ever thought about what you are going to do after graduation?" Rozier held a cigar in his mouth, put his hands in his suit trouser pockets and stared at the city outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
Anton was stunned for a moment, "I'm only a second-year student."
"You have a chance now." Rozier turned his head and nodded at the suitcase on the ground with his fingers holding a cigar.
"You have developed this magic potion. It's called 'Human Deformation Removing Potion', right? Have you ever thought about what this potion can do for you?"
Anton thought for a while, "Nagini, Anna, Lupin, everyone I care about will be treated."
"Well, not bad."
"If you broaden your horizons a little bit more, you'll see more."
"Perhaps you should pay attention to the werewolves gathered by Lupine in the werewolf home."
"Every werewolf there is actually a wizard!"
Mr. Rozier exhaled a faint breath of smoke, "It is not difficult for our Rozier family to gather all the things needed for this potion, but it depends on the Rozier family's countless years of experience.
Keep accumulating.”
He narrowed his eyes slightly, "Expect them to gather the potion by themselves? Oh, even if they finally put it together after a lifetime of hard work, what about preparing the potion? This kind of thing is very simple in your eyes, but for most wizards
It is the most difficult thing to do. It only takes a little mistake and a lifetime of hard work will be in vain.”
Anton stared at Rozier, "You mean..."
Rozier nodded, "Everyone has his own way. Maybe you can help them for free in exchange for their loyalty to you. You can also sign a ten or even twenty-year labor contract with them and let them work for you.
Services are paid back slowly. You can even threaten to save their offspring and completely turn them into your slaves."
He shrugged, "How you control these people is your choice. You think about it yourself."
"but……"
"As long as you decide to do this, you will have a group of loyal subordinates, whether they are werewolves or wizards after treatment. This is a force that no one in the wizarding world can underestimate."
"And this power will support you to do whatever you want to do."
Rozier smiled and patted Anton's shoulder, "It is impossible for me to use the wealth of the Rozier family to give you so many potion materials for treating werewolves for free. If you have ideas in this regard, you can start now.
Planned."
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. The first step is to find ways to have enough resources to obtain these materials."
"I can provide you with channels, connections, and even some top-secret information. But when it comes to physical objects, they belong to the wealth of the Rozier family, and I am just a member of the Rozier family. You understand what I mean.
.”
"Maybe you can start making preparations now so that you can have this power when you graduate."
He picked up the wine glass, shook the wine inside, and took a sip. "This is a parent's suggestion, not a requirement, but I hope you will seriously consider it."
Anton nodded silently.
He is now in his second year and has five years left before graduation. If he really plans to do such a thing, five years is enough time.
The idea of gaining this power after graduation is fascinating.
real.
Anton may not have the ambition to change the world, but he also has the idea of protecting the people he cares about and forming his own family or power.
The An family, or the Weasley family, whatever the name is, sounds good.
The lonely soul wandering in this world will always long to find a home for itself.
He doesn't need to use it to do anything ambitious, but he also hopes to become someone that no one dares to offend easily.
"I will carefully consider your opinion."
Rozier smiled and nodded, "You have always been a smart person."
…
In the cabin between the Black Lake and the Forbidden Forest, more than a hundred meters underground, there is a secret little chamber.
The secret room is not big, one cabinet takes up half of the space.
The dark brown cabinet looks very quaint, as if it has gone through a long period of time and has become a little mottled. There is even a corner missing in an inconspicuous corner on the top of the cabinet.
The complex patterns of the Fairy Age, long forgotten by people, give it a mysterious aura.
slowly.
The cabinet door was pushed open, and the light of the curse spread from the crack in the door.
"All petrified!"
"Life detection!"
The cabinet door was pushed open completely, Anton walked out with a suitcase, closed the cabinet door, got on the elevator woven from the elephant vine, and was pulled all the way to the laboratory on the ground floor.
After all the changes subsided, Anton put his suitcase away and slowly walked into the first floor from the stairs extending from the intertwined vines of the elephant vine.
Anton looked at the hut in silence.
The first floor is divided into three rooms. The outermost room is the small sales room, the middle room is George and Fred's laboratory, and the innermost room is Anton's laboratory.
The second floor is a gathering place for everyone, and there is a large table in the corner, which is where Neville prepares the potion materials for them in advance.
The third floor is the greenhouse belonging to Neville and Hannah, where a large number of herbs are cultivated.
Of course, there is a snake cave underground next to the hut, although there are no runes in it now.
If we really want to implement Mr. Rozier's proposal, we can't rely on Anton alone. We can only rely on the strength of the hut.
Anton thought for a while, laughed, and stretched.
"Don't be anxious, take it easy and take your time."
