Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 158 Poison? Magic Potions

Maierzu Castle is a luxurious castle that took the Bailey family thirty years to build.

The castle is not only equipped with exclusive waterways and large berths.

In the other direction, a wide road was built that could accommodate five carriages at the same time.

There are also large horse farms and farms outside the castle.

It was also the first time for Moon to see such a large castle, which was even larger than some small cities.

Even the area of ​​Hogwarts Castle is far smaller than the huge gray-white castle in front of us.

If we add the Forbidden Forest and the Black Lake, perhaps there is still a comparison.

When Moon got off the Scarlet Moon, he only brought Zalan and Chris with him.

The three of them first followed Downs to a luxurious reception room in the castle.

After waiting for a while, the Bailey family came out to meet them.

"Are you the Potions Master that Downs found?"

The visitor was a middle-aged man with rare platinum hair, well-defined features, and deep, sharp black eyes.

When Moon saw the person coming, he didn't pay much attention to his appearance, but looked at the wizard bar above his head.

Two grids.

This is the magician with the longest wizard bar that Moon has seen in the current world in recent times.

However, the look in the other person's eyes when he looked at Moon didn't seem very friendly.

Moon didn't care. He stood up and looked at the other person.

"Yes, I am."

After Moon answered, the blond magician took a deep breath and stared at Moon.

"It's hard to believe you're a qualified potions master at your age."

"I know, that's why I came here in person."

After hearing Moon's words, the middle-aged magician, who had a sad look on his face, rarely smiled.

"You seem very confident, young man. I'm Ryan Bailey, and I welcome you on behalf of the entire Bailey family."

The Bailey family's own magician helped Moon figure out the problems he had on the road.

In today's world, the boundary between magicians and ordinary people is not so obvious.

There is no equivalent of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy.

The Bailey family's business is so big that it also involves magical herbal plants.

If it were an ordinary family, it would obviously be impossible to do so, not to mention having to go to great lengths to protect their property.

But if there is a magician in this family, and his strength is not low, then all this can be explained.

"You can call me Moon, or Scarlett."

Moon also nodded in greeting.

"Well, Mr. Scarlett, although I don't know how good your potion skills are, this involves the safety of my niece's life, so I hope to test your ability."

Moon had actually expected the other party to have such a request a long time ago.

After all, it concerns a person's life, and he is indeed very young.

"Okay, so do you want to see the potion I brewed, or do you want to check my potion-brewing ability?"

Moon was not afraid of any test. In his opinion, the magic of Hogwarts was obviously more powerful than that of most wizards in the world.

"Now I kind of believe that you can really make potions."

After Ryan Bailey said this, he waved his hand to signal the servant who followed him to come up. After giving an order, he looked at Moon again.

"Mr. Scarlett, if you don't mind, I'd like to test both of the things you just mentioned. Of course, the Bailey family will also offer you a satisfactory service."

After Ryan finished speaking, the servant who had just left returned to the living room with a tray.

"This is a gift from our Bailey Chamber of Commerce to our magician friends. With this gift, you can purchase all items at the Chamber of Commerce at a 10% discount."

Ryan said as he picked up a black round iron plate from the tray.

"Of course, we will provide all the materials for your potion making this time, and you will pay double the cost."

After listening to Ryan's explanation, Moon understood why this family's business was so big.

Not only is he capable, but he is also willing to provide convenience to all magicians.

This has invisibly increased the Bailey family's invisible strength.

For Moon, judging by the Bailey family's approach, they must know quite a few magicians and possess a large amount of magic information, which is exactly what Moon needs most now.

"Yes, this is a hemostatic potion I made. You can test it first."

Moon said as he took a portion of the hemostatic potion he had just made from Chris's hand.

After Ryan took it, he opened the bottle cap and looked at it carefully.

"Hmm~, this seems to be just an ordinary hemostatic potion."

As Ryan spoke, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

His niece was now severely poisoned, and he had found two wizards skilled in brewing potions, but they were helpless.

Now Moon only took out a bottle of ordinary hemostatic potion, which made him feel even more disappointed.

As far as Ryan knew, the two wizards he had found who were proficient in potions knew at least seven or eight methods of making potions.

And this kind of hemostatic potion is only the lowest level one for them.

"It's a hemostatic potion, but it shouldn't be ordinary."

Moon was very clear about the efficacy of the potion he brewed. This potion was far more effective than its original version.

Even in the world where Hogwarts was located, Moon had never heard of a similar hemostatic potion.

Of course, the ability to produce this medicinal effect should have a lot to do with Moon's combination of materials and techniques from two worlds.

After hearing Moon's explanation, Ryan couldn't help but feel curious.

He winked at the servant beside him.

The servant immediately understood and stretched out his index finger, scratching a long line on the palm of his hand with his sharp nail.

When Zalan saw this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He knew that anyone who could draw a bloody mark on his palm so easily must be a master.

Moon was actually very curious when he saw this scene, because he knew that the servant in front of him did not have a wizard bar.

He was able to do this easily, so he must have mastered some special force-generating techniques.

Just like when [Night Owl] dodges an arrow, it can twist its body to a degree that ordinary people cannot do.

This was the second time Moon had seen abilities possessed by ordinary people.

Moon had already tested the efficacy of the hemostatic potion, so he was not afraid of any accidents.

However, after seeing the potion heal the wound so quickly, Ryan took a deep breath unconsciously.

"Hiss! The potion is indeed extraordinary. Mr. Scarlett, I wonder if you have more of this potion. Our Bailey Chamber of Commerce is willing to buy them all. You set the price."

"I'm very sorry, but this potion requires the tribe's Selma flowers, and I don't have much left."

Moon was telling the truth. The Selma flower powder he had on him was only enough to make three bottles of potion.

He planned to keep these three bottles for his own use, as he had a group of people on board who frequently needed to use a knife.

When Moon mentioned that Selma flowers were needed to make the hemostatic potion, he actually wanted to find out whether Bailey Chamber of Commerce had this herb.

After all, the Bailey Chamber of Commerce has a big business on the Vina Islands, and most of the tribesmen are concentrated in this archipelago. Moon guessed that there should be some intersection between the two sides.

“The tribe releases ten Selma flowers every year, and we at the Bailey Chamber of Commerce are honored to collect three every year.”

"Only three?"

"Yes, actually three flowers are quite a lot. After all, the yield of this kind of flower is not high."

Hearing Moon's curious question, Ryan explained patiently.

"The tribesmen on the Vena Islands are actually divided into factions. Xingjin Island has the largest number of tribesmen, and there are three tribes on it."

The Bailey family's business involves many aspects, including a lot of interactions with the tribesmen, so they know a lot about the tribesmen.

There are three tribes on Xingjin Island.

One is the Xingmang tribe that worships the stars, one is the Lingshu tribe that believes in the sacred tree, and the other is the Hailan tribe that worships the ocean.

These three tribes are very powerful, with a population of over 100,000.

The Selma flower is one of the herbal flowers produced by the Lingshu tribe.

There are also more than 30 small islands around Xingjin Island.

There are more than a dozen tribes of varying sizes scattered here, and they all have inextricable ties with the three tribes.

After Ryan finished speaking, Moon thought about everything around him related to the tribesmen.

The first one was of course Ben, who agreed to send people home. According to the tribesman’s own explanation, he was from the Star Tribe.

The other is the three Selma flowers that Chris received.

If we rely on the power of Bailey's Company, we can only get three plants of this herb every year.

Who was the person who gave Chris the three Selma flowers? Could he have any connection with the Spirit Tree Tribe?
However, this can only be known after Moon arrives at the Star Embers Island.

Now he still needs to refine an antidote potion to prove his ability.

"This year's Selma flowers have all been sold out by the Bailey Chamber of Commerce, but new flowers will arrive next spring. I hope to ask Mr. Scarlett to brew a batch of potions then."

After asking someone to check the inventory, Ryan made his request.

"Okay, if there's a chance next year I'll help you make it. Also, here are the ingredients I need to make the antidote potion. Please see if you have any."

Moon said as he handed the other party a piece of pale yellow parchment, which was the material description he had prepared when he came.

"Hmm? You've prepared very carefully, Mr. Scarlett."

Ryan took the parchment and began to read it.

He originally thought that only the names of some herbs would be written on it, but he didn't expect Moon to draw images of all the materials.

"Of course, brewing potions is a rigorous job, so thorough preparation is definitely required."

Moon prepared this detailed pictorial description for more than just thorough preparation, of course.

More importantly, he was not sure what these materials were called in this world, so he could only draw them to provide additional explanation.

"These are intoxicating flowers, black nightshade, sweetgrass roots, pearl powder, pointy horse horns, and pure spring water."

What Moon took out was naturally the antidote formula that Professor Snape had just explained last week.

When he came, he asked Mimir for clarification. Except for the pointy-horned horse, what the old man said was exactly right.

The unicorn is a horn, and the antidote potion requires the powdered horn of the unicorn.

"Mr. Scarlett, are you sure this is an antidote and not some deadly poison?"

Ryan is not a magician who is proficient in making potions.

However, during this period of time, because his niece Lynn Bailey was poisoned, he also learned a lot of herbal knowledge and knew that some of the herbs used by Moon were highly toxic.

Among them, the intoxicating flower can cause hallucinations, coma, or even death in the victim.

This plant is known as Datura in Potions classes at Hogwarts.

Black nightshade is also poisonous. It can cause dilated pupils, blurred vision, and in severe cases, death.

It was called Belladonna in Potions class.

When handling these two plants, Snape asked the young wizards to wear dragon leather gloves.

"I'm sure I can create an antidote if you can find the right ingredients."

Hearing Moon's confident answer, Ryan took a deep breath unconsciously.

"These herbs and plants are all in the warehouse, but the horn of this sharp-horned beast may need to be borrowed from an outer island."

"Oh, if you're in a hurry, I actually have the material."

Moon said as he took out a small paper bag he had prepared.

This is exactly the unicorn horn powder.

This was something that fell off the horn core that Moon used to make the wand.

Knowing that the unicorn's horn is very valuable, Moon has kept it until now.

Ryan took it and looked at it carefully.

The Bailey family actually raised three horned horses, but they never thought that their horns could be used to make potions, so they had always been kept as ornamental animals on Hephaestus Island.

"This horn must be quite old."

Ryan picked up some horn particles and said.

"That's right, but it won't delay the brewing of the potion. Of course, if the patient can wait, I can also wait for your animal horns to arrive."

"No, just use yours!"

After hearing what Moon said, Ryan thought about his niece's worse health this morning and made up his mind.

"Okay, if you agree, please find a quiet room. I'm going to start brewing the potion."

"Of course. There's a very suitable room next to the reception room. Mr. Moon, you can tell me if you need anything else, such as human bone charcoal, gold crucibles, and special alchemy tools."

When Ryan mentioned the golden crucible, Moon actually hesitated.

But thinking about the special nature of the golden crucible, he gave up this little idea.

"A tin crucible is fine, and ordinary potion tools are all fine; human bone charcoal is unnecessary. Also, an alcohol lamp is necessary."

"Alcohol lamp?"

The potion tool requirements were ordinary, which Ryan could understand.

But he was a little surprised that they used an alcohol lamp instead of human bone charcoal.

The magicians Ryan found two days ago asked him for at least a hundred pieces of human bone carbon before he could complete the potion making, although the potion didn't work in the end.

"Yes, my potion brewing only requires heating with an alcohol lamp."

"Alcohol lamp? How is that possible? The potion needs to absorb the soul to succeed. Mr. Bailey, you didn't find a little liar!"

Just after Moon finished speaking, a magician in black clothes and a black hood suddenly walked into the living room.

Another two-grid magician.

Moon glanced at the wizard's name, and then noticed that the magician had a familiar ring on his hand.
