During Potions class on Friday morning the next day, Snape kept sarcastic and sarcastic to Charles, looking very happy.
The class was uneventful. After lunch, Charles came to the Potions classroom again to find Snape.
There are some things that are difficult to say in class, and now that Charles has come to the door, Snape taunts him: "Hey, you are wrong, the divination failed."
Charles scratched his head and asked him tentatively: "Do you want my divination to be successful?"
Snape glared at him fiercely and continued to fiddle with the cauldron behind the long table. There were also many tools for processing medicinal materials beside it.
Charles continued to ask him: "Professor, do you have any channels to purchase Poison Horn explosive fluid?"
Snape's expression instantly became serious. The poison horn is a monster from Africa. The liquid secreted from the horn of a rhinoceros can explode. This explosive liquid has certain dangers.
At the same time, explosive liquid is also a relatively expensive medicinal material and is expensive.
The Potions Professor at Hogwarts has a shiny name, so naturally many people come to Snape to refine potions.
The price of the potions made by Snape is at least 20% higher than the same products on the market. You can buy it with peace of mind, mainly because if something goes wrong, Snape can't escape from Hogwarts.
So Charles believed that Snape must know those medicinal merchants, and asking him for help can reduce the price difference earned by middlemen. More importantly, Snape can run away but not Hogwarts, and he is not afraid of him taking the money and running away.
"What?" Snape asked him sternly, "Do you want your divination to succeed?"
Charles blinked and soon understood that Snape thought he had to rely on those hard-working hands to make the divination successful.
Of course, he didn't want to blow up Snape's house. We'll talk about that later. There are more important things now, so he just talked about helping the centaurs eliminate the Acromantula.
Snape also knew about this, as some of the unicorn tail hair and Acromantula venom that Charles brought back at the beginning got into his hands.
There are many good things in the Forbidden Forest, and Snape often collects them himself, but it is not as convenient as finding centaurs to do it himself.
So he wrote a list on parchment and gave it to Charles: "You go ask the centaurs if they have these things, and I'll contact the poisonous horned beast's explosive fluid. How much do you want?"
Charles replied: "I want 10 gallons..."
"Idiot!" Snape was angry, "Do you want to blow up Hogwarts?"
10 gallons is equivalent to about 45 liters. A bottle of explosive fluid as big as Fengyoujing can blow up a small house. It would be no joke if it exploded in a castle.
Snape thought he would only need 10 ounces at most, almost 300 milliliters.
Charles said in embarrassment: "But there are too many Acromantulas, there are hundreds in one nest. To eliminate them, we can only start by destroying the spider nests, which requires a lot of explosive fluid."
Just as Voldemort said, it would be no problem for him to fight against Acromantulas alone, and it would not be a big problem against many, but to start a war with the entire group, he would need to rely on external forces.
After hearing this, Snape shook his head and said mockingly: "Can you make explosive liquid to make them safer? Do you think the headmaster will allow you to put so much explosive liquid in the castle?"
At this time, Charles was at his wits end. This was obviously not something that would be included in the first-grade Potions textbook, and the principal would not agree to storing a large amount of flammable and explosive dangerous materials in the castle.
Putting the matter of dangerous goods aside for now, Charles asked Snape very seriously: "Professor, how much would it cost to hire you to prepare explosive liquid?"
The classroom door opened by himself, and Charles flew out by himself.
After this guy got up, he shouted through the closed door: "You can add more money!"
After a few seconds, the door opened.
Just like in Gotham City, not everyone is as rich as Wayne. The Joker has to go home to buy groceries and cook for his parents after fighting Batman every day.
Of course, this will all have to wait until Dumbledore sells out the materials, which will probably take a while.
The two talked for a while but couldn't reach an agreement. Snape also prepared the utensils on the long table. The cauldron was filled with water and the fire was lit. It looked like he was ready to make something.
Snape stopped talking and began to prepare the potion.
Charles didn't speak, he was very curious and just watched quietly.
Snape didn't chase anyone away and just did his own thing silently.
He put a small basket of washed fresh vegetables on the chopping board, picked up a knife and quickly cut it into small pieces, which made Charles look a little dazed, thinking that he was in Hogwarts Cooking School.
Put the cut fresh vegetables into a large distillation flask, add water and plug the stopper, put it on the shelf and light it. The steam flows through the tube through the condenser filled with ice cubes and water, and finally flows into a separatory funnel.
.
At first, Charles was a little curious that the equipment for making white essential oil was so Muggle, but when he thought about the connection between chemistry and alchemy, it might be that one of his parents was a wizard who was engaged in chemistry. It is not impossible for wizards to improve ordinary tools.<
/p>
The white fresh essential oil produced at this time is still white fresh essential oil, which needs to be purified again to be the white fresh essence used to heal wounds on the market.
After connecting the tube, Snape asked Charles expressionlessly: "Do you understand?"
Charles immediately replied: "I understand, it's written in the textbook."
The first-year students will learn how to prepare white pepper essence, but that will be in the second half of the school year. They will not start linking potions and herbal medicine until the fresh flowers they grow in the greenhouse grow decently.<
/p>
The terrible thing is that the results of this joint activity are counted in the final grades of the two subjects.
So Charles studied the relevant content in particular and felt that it was not difficult except for the final purification step.
Snape pointed to several other sets of distillation equipment next to him and took out a few baskets of medicinal materials for him, seemingly treating him as free labor.
Charles recognized that the purple flowers of mandrake have anesthetic effects, the essence extracted from yellow rue flowers can detoxify, and the third one is the fresh leaves of nettle, which they used dried in the potions class on the first day.
Nettle.

While he was busy, Snape took out a cage from under the table.
This cage has been there since the morning, and there was some movement inside, but it was covered with a cloth, and no one knew what it was.
Now Charles knows that inside is a rat as big as a cat, with a light pink back covered with tentacles.
"Mortla Rat?" he asked curiously.
But Snape ignored him and concentrated on his work.
Charles no longer bothered him. The juice from the tentacles on the back of the Motla rat can be filtered and pickled to make a medicine to treat wounds and relieve pain. If bitten by a rat, it will cause poisoning, which can range from retching.
In severe cases, the anus will spit fire.
Snape, a master of art, was brave enough not to wear gloves. If the car overturned, Charles felt that although he could witness a rare scene, he would definitely be silenced.
The Avada Kedavra cast when someone wants to kill someone in that state of social inertia would probably be unable to stop Dumbledore, Grindelwald and Voldemort all tied together.
Then Snape cast a coma spell on the Motler rat and gave it some potion to euthanize it before starting the next step.
Charles was doing two things at the side, taking care not to let the water in several distilling bottles boil dry, while carefully watching how Snape prepared the mouse tentacle juice.
During this period, a house elf brought food, and Charles realized that it was already meal time.
In the end, Snape mixed Motla rat juice with several essential oils, and asked Charles to get some materials and add them in. Finally, he got a potion with SSR special effects.
"An ordinary healing potion." Snape said calmly, "St. Mungo's Hospital commissioned me to make it. It can treat some cursed wounds."
Charles sighed: "This is not ordinary at all!"
The wounds caused by jinxes are difficult to heal due to the influence of magic. Different jinxes have different methods of resolving them. A potion that can solve several jinxes at the same time is definitely not cheap.
Snape suddenly sneered and said to him: "There is a reason why I charge high fees."
Charles twitched the corner of his mouth, stretched out his right hand and gave him a thumbs up.
Those who meow are all thousand-year-old foxes.
Now he understood that Snape didn't drive him away, he just wanted to prepare for the price negotiation just now, and he stupidly helped.
