Chapter 284 A Force Not to Be Underestimated
The potion formula has been researched, and the next step is to configure it. At this time, Anton has no way to use the resources of Hogwarts.
The previous research can also 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 developed with Professor Snape, even if the consumption of potion materials has been reduced to half, the cost is still higher than that of Wolfsbane Potion.
As Snape's master of potions, such achievements have really reached the peak. Unless Anton has the ability to innovate in the future, the treatment for werewolves is destined to be a level that ordinary werewolves cannot afford.
It can only be said that the werewolf itself is a huge problem.
It is not easy to prepare potion materials on your own. Not only does it require a huge amount of money, many potion materials are not circulated in the market at all.
For example, some highly poisonous drugs in the formula, such as the mandrake that can easily cause death.
These all require special channels and connections.
It was at this time that Anton was able to understand the hardships of the old wizard Fiennes. The thick data recorded too many wonderful ideas inspired by inspiration, but he was stuck in guessing because he couldn't find the potion ingredients at all. .
Sometimes the old wizard couldn't even figure out what the potion ingredients 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 in vain.
Fortunately for Anton, there is a Hogwarts library that covers almost all materials in Europe, and there are too many people to ask for advice.
You can ask Dumbledore about the principles of super-difficult magic, ask Professor Sprout if you don’t understand herbs, ask Professor Snape about potions, and ask Hagrid about animals...
Even sometimes when you don't know which book to look up information at all, you can ask Mrs. Pince.
Free master classes, free guidance from experienced people, this kind of treatment will never be encountered by young wizards after graduation.
At that time, the price to be paid to solve a problem was absolutely huge.
You may not even find the answer in this lifetime.
And these, at Hogwarts, may only take half a day.
It is said in the book "Modern Wizards" that the transition from master-apprentice 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 configuring the 'Human Transformation Elimination Potion' still need to be obtained from home.
He wrote a letter to Rozier on the day of the Quidditch final, and finally got an answer today. At night, he used the 'disappearing cabinet' to come home, and Rozier had been waiting for him early.
Mr. Rozier expressed his gratitude to Anton excitedly, telling him not to leave in a hurry, and dragging him to talk about the topics that belong to adult men.
"Have you ever thought about what you plan to do after graduation?" Rozier was smoking a cigar, putting his hands in his suit trouser pockets and staring at the city outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Anton froze for a moment, "I'm only a second-year student."
"You have a chance now." Rozier turned his head and tapped the suitcase on the ground with his finger holding the cigar.
"You have researched this potion, the name is 'Distorting Human Body Transformation Potion', right? Have you ever thought about what this potion can bring you?"
Anton thought for a while, "Nagini, Anna, Lupine, everyone I care about will be treated."
"Well, not bad."
"If you widen your horizons a bit, you'll see a lot more."
"Perhaps you should have noticed those werewolves that Lupine had gathered in the werewolf home."
"Every werewolf in there is actually a wizard!"
Mr. Rozier breathed out a breath of smoke, "It's not very difficult for our Rozier family to gather all the things needed for this potion, but it depends on the Rozier family for countless years. keep accumulating."
He narrowed his eyes slightly, "Expect them to collect the potion by themselves? Oh, even if they have worked hard all their lives to finally get it together, what about making potion? This kind of thing is very simple in your eyes, but for most wizards But it is the most difficult. It only takes a little mistake, and a lifetime of hard work is in vain.”
Anton stared at Rozier, "You mean..."
Rozier nodded, "Everyone has their own way. Maybe you can help them for free in exchange for their loyalty to you. You can also sign a ten-year or even twenty-year labor contract with them and let them work for you. The service is slowly repaid. You can even use the treatment of their offspring as a threat to completely turn them into your slaves."
He shrugged, "How to control these people is your choice, and you have to think about it yourself."
"but……"
"As long as you decide to do this, you will have a group of loyal subordinates, whether it's a werewolf or a wizard after healing. This is a force that no one in the wizarding world can underestimate."
"And this power will support you to do whatever you want."
Rozier patted Anton's shoulder with a smile, "It's impossible for me to empty the Rozier family's wealth and give you so many potion materials for treating werewolf groups for free. If you have ideas about this, you can start now." planned."
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. The first step is to find a way to have enough resources to obtain these materials."
"I can provide you with channels, contacts, and even some top-secret information. But when it comes to the real thing, it belongs to the wealth of the Rozier family, and I am only a member of the Rozier family. You know what I mean." .”
"Maybe you start preparing now, and when you graduate, you will be able to have this power."
He picked up the wine glass, shook the wine in it, 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 the second grade, and there are still five years before graduation. If he really intends to do such a thing, five years is enough time.
After graduation, the idea of gaining this power is fascinating.
real.
Anton may not have the ambition to change the world, but he also has the idea of defending the people he cares about and forming his own family or power.
The Anne family, or the Weasley family, whatever it is, sounds good.
A lonely soul wandering in this world always longs to find a home for himself.
He can not use it to do ambitious things, but he also hopes to become someone that no one dares to provoke easily.
"I will carefully consider your opinion."
Rozier nodded with a smile, "You have always been a smart person."
...
The hut between the Black Lake and the Forbidden Forest, more than 100 meters underground, has a small secret room.
The secret room is not big, a cabinet takes up half of the space.
The dark brown cabinet looks very simple, as if after a long time, it has become a little mottled, and even a corner is missing in an inconspicuous corner on the top of the cabinet.
The intricate patterns of the long-forgotten fairy era outline a mysterious atmosphere.
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 completely pushed open, Anton came out with a suitcase, closed the cabinet door, got on the elevator made of elephant rattan and was pulled all the way to the laboratory on the ground floor.
After all the changes had subsided, Anton put away the suitcase, and walked slowly from the stairs extending from the eclipse vines to the first floor.
Anton looked at the hut silently.
The first floor is divided into three rooms, the outermost is the sales room of the hut, the middle is George and Fred's laboratory, and the innermost one is Anton's laboratory.
The second floor is where everyone gathers, and there is a large table in the corner, which is the operating table for Neville to process 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 also a snake cave underground next to the hut, although there are no runes in it now.
If you really want to implement Mr. Rozier's proposal, you can't rely on Anton alone, you can only gather the strength of the hut.
Anton thought for a while, laughed, and stretched.
"Don't rush, take it easy and take your time."
"Go to sleep first."
