Chapter 267 tit-for-tat and gifts (seeking a monthly pass)
"Can they all be eaten?"
Professor Sprout observed Elena's expression and raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.
Compared to the answer itself, she values the solution Elena gave during the answer process - if Hermione Granger gave the most perfect answer at the student level, then Elena Granger
Kaslana's perspective is more like the thinking of an academic pioneer.
However, the following course is not suitable for encouraging this kind of adventurous spirit.
For most students, just mastering the knowledge points in the textbooks is already very difficult. She does not think it is a good idea to encourage children to explore freely prematurely - after all, in theory, as long as
Magical plants are more or less dangerous.
Professor Sprout put the fungus in his hand back into his pocket and said seriously.
"Perhaps you are right, but there is a gap between imagination and reality. If you do not have enough knowledge accumulation and strength guarantee, even if you are lucky enough to succeed ninety-nine times, you will pay a heavy price if you fail once.
price."
"Yes, I understand very well that behind every major progress in herbal medicine, there are the efforts of countless predecessors."
Elena nodded, the smile faded from her face, and she answered very seriously.
"If possible, I hope that after graduation, I can become like Mr. Newt Scamander who wrote "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", or Philip who wrote "A Thousand Magic Herbs and Mushrooms"
Someone like Principal Da Spoel."
At the same time, Elena secretly drooled in her heart.
There is still a relatively large gap in the magical world's understanding of the world. Most of the magical plants and magical animals are currently only briefly introduced and used in chaos, and have not completed the transformation from industrialization to daily life.
.
If we count from the time when the Eastern "Book of Mountains and Seas" was written, in terms of completeness on this point, the European magic world lags behind the Eastern world by at least more than two thousand years of history.
"A very good ambition, stick to your ideas."
Professor Sprout nodded with satisfaction, a gentle smile on his face.
Few young wizards can understand the charm of magical animals and magical plants. More of them will be attracted by the dazzling magic. Elena's answer is undoubtedly particularly useful to the herbal medicine professor.
The fat witch who was in a good mood turned around, took off a large key from her belt, opened the door of the greenhouse behind her, and said with a smile on her face.
"If you want to imitate those two great wizards, then you must adopt a highly focused learning attitude from the first lesson. First, let's identify some basic magical plants and fungi..."
Obviously, the magical world does not follow the systematic arrangement of plant taxonomy [Mushrooms-Microbacteria-Ascomycetes/Angiosperms-Gymnosperms-Ferns...], but more based on danger.
Classify by degree of rarity.
Most of the plants in the first greenhouse are ordinary magical plants that don't scream, but even so, they are enough to open the eyes of the little wizards who have come into contact with strange plants so intensively for the first time.
For example, if touched a little, the little puff mushroom will spit out bubbles and attack the enemy (the poor little guy was surrounded by a group of curious little wizards and secretly poked it many times until he was stopped by the angry Professor Sprout)
).
For another example, the moonlight grass can emit bright light in the dark. Just look at the eyes of the little witches around you and you will know that this beautiful magical herb is obviously suitable to be given as a gift and placed beside the bed.
What surprised Elena the most was a plant she knew originally - the sunflower.
"This is flos solis. Of course, Muggles like to call it sunflower. It is a magical plant that likes the sun. It will follow the direction of the sun and turn left and right. Of course, "Thousands of Magical Herbs and Mushrooms"
》 did not record it, but I think it is a magical plant with endless potential that is worth studying."
Professor Sprout introduced softly with a smile on his face.
As she spoke, she pulled out her wand and tapped it gently, and a ball of light floated out from the tip of the wand, swinging around the sunflower, and the young flower disk also slowly rotated.
"Generally speaking, young sunflowers will be more sensitive to magic and sunlight, but as it grows, if it is not cultivated properly, it can easily lose its magic and degenerate into an ordinary plant - this is why
One of the reasons the Ministry of Magic doesn't ban Muggles from growing sunflowers."
"However, if cultivated properly, when sunflowers fully mature, they can even store and actively produce sunlight. The sunlight produced by a small acre of sunflower fields in one month can even disperse a thunderstorm within a mile."
The short, fat witch looked around with a smile and paused slightly.
"So, now you can guess what is the most important factor in cultivating sunflowers correctly? The little wizard who answers correctly can get a small pot of sunflowers as a reward..."
"Embers of magic fire!"
"Magic fire ashes!"
Before Professor Sprout could finish speaking, Elena and Hermione raised their hands and answered almost simultaneously.
This has almost become the norm in this class. Faced with this kind of course that relies purely on memory, Elena, who accepted the challenge, intuitively felt the pressure brought by "Miss Know-It-All" for the first time.
As for Harry, Neville, Ron, Hannah and others who were watching, they had already very self-awarely withdrawn from the competition for class answers. The only suspense at the moment is who can overwhelm Elena or Hermione.
Just anyone.
However, the problem this time is obviously a little different
Um?!
After once again saying the answer at the same time, the two little luoli looked at each other in surprise, and saw incredible expressions in their eyes - the records about sunflowers were not included in the textbooks. For the two little Luoli,
For girls who are secretly competing, this question should be the decisive blow.
Incredible...
Pomona Sprout looked at the two little witches who were facing each other, and raised her eyebrows in slight surprise. It had been a long time since Hogwarts had seen such a little wizard who could stand out from his peers, and this year
Unexpectedly, two appeared at once.
"The answer is correct, but the reward is only one plant, so I want to hear why you said that."
Elena and Hermione looked at each other, observing the strong desire to win in the little Beaver's eyes. Elena smiled slightly, waved her hands, and signaled the Little Beaver to speak first.
"It's very simple, because of the glass bottle placed next to the sunflower."
Hermione cleared her throat unceremoniously, raised her face, and said confidently.
"The label above said [Embers of Magic Fire], and I noticed that the substance inside was exactly the same as what was scattered in the flower pot, so I guessed that the answer was the embers of magic fire."
"Sharp insight."
Professor Sprout followed Hermione's eyes and glanced at the glass bottle placed next to the flowerpot, nodded in admiration, turned to look at Elena, "So, dear, you..."
"Me too." Elena shrugged helplessly.
"Well, in this case, this little pot of sunflowers..."
Professor Sprout pondered for a moment, looked at the two girls hesitantly, and was thinking about the appropriate way to deal with it.
"Professor, give Hermione the reward. After all, she answered first."
Elena spread her hands and said very generously - the arrogant girl still needs to be pampered a little, anyway, she just wants the pot of sunflowers, it doesn't matter who it is with.
"but……"
Professor Sprout frowned. From a personal standpoint, she actually wanted to reward Elena of Hufflepuff House. After all, she also has another identity as the dean of Hufflepuff House.
.
"If possible, professor, can I take away another potted plant? In fact, I prefer that one..."
Elena blinked, pointed to a small pot of white bulbous plants not far away, and showed a sweet smile.
Although they haven't sprouted or bloomed yet, Elena knows that in the eyes of some people, they must be some of the most beautiful plants in the world, and not one of them.
One plant...
White and crystal clear magic perfume lily.
