Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

After a brief search, Anduin finally figured out the truth behind the so-called [Snake Slough Potion].

Strictly speaking, making elixir is not as simple as boiling potion, but is divided into two parts: alchemy ritual and pharmaceutical preparation.

The most important link is a ritual called [Life Refining] recorded in the notes. During the ceremony, the living creatures that need to extract life force are placed in an alchemy circle with the life refining spell engraved on one side.

superior.

Then the magic circle was activated to extract the life force from the life form. This output, which contains a large amount of life energy, was called "Unstable Life Essence" in the notes.

After extracting this life essence, using it as the main raw material and adding corresponding auxiliary materials, you can prepare the so-called elixir.

At the same time, in the notes, in addition to clearly recording the refining method of the potion, there is also a special note that the life essence extracted using this relatively rough magic circle has a certain degree of toxicity.

Although the elixir made from this raw material can indeed extend life, it will also cause some side effects that are difficult to ignore, such as mutations after long-term use, such as the emergence of weaknesses such as snake shedding, etc.

This is because all magical creatures, the magic power and vitality in their bodies will be infected by emotions and will. These wills will not be removed with the [Life Refining] ritual, but will be contaminated with the 'unstable life essence'.

This then forms a by-product called 'thought toxin'.

Moreover, Anduin discovered that as he had expected, humans, as living creatures, can indeed be used as raw materials for life refinement. However, intelligent creatures like humans, due to their rich emotions, produce more 'thinking toxins' and produce more output.

The quality of life essence is very poor.

It is probably for this reason that Rune Snake never thought of using wizards to make medicine.

Therefore, the so-called snake slough potion seems to be a semi-finished product in Anduin's eyes, because judging from the tone of the original owner's record in the notes, the other party seems to be dissatisfied with the efficacy of this elixir and looks very disgusted.

But the original owner probably didn't expect that the trash in his eyes would become a rune snake and a treasure in the eyes of the club's spear.

"So this thing that looks like an altar is the so-called life-forging circle? No wonder you can feel a strong smell of blood on it." Anduin figured it out after a little research.

He has discovered the truth behind the so-called elixir, which is still an alchemical product.

Anduin had always been afraid of this kind of medicine that had obvious side effects and could harm Tianhe, let alone now that he saw so many side effects hidden in it.

However, the knowledge contained in it makes Anduin very coveted, especially the so-called life-refining alchemy array, which is very useful whether it is to enrich his knowledge reserve or to draw parallels.

But at the same time, Anduin was worried about another thing, that is, after his Annihilation evolved into a holy weapon, it seemed to have the ability to feed the magic and vitality extracted from the enemy back to himself.

Although proportionally speaking, the amount of feedback is not that much, for a guy like Rune Snake with astonishingly strong physique and magic power, it only adds more than two hundred points to his magic power limit.

But this is indeed extracting life force directly from living things. Does the energy fed back to him also contain the so-called 'thinking toxin'?

If it was true as recorded, wouldn't his improvement from Desolation also have hidden dangers? Anduin didn't want to become a rune snake with abnormal brain and body.

But when he received the magic power and vitality of the Destruction feedback before, he didn't feel anything strange at all. The impression given to him by those energies was that they were very pure.

Therefore, although Anduin is not planning to make an elixir, he may have to study this so-called life refining array in depth, at least to compare the [unstable life essence] with the one he obtained from Annihilation.

Is the energy consistent?

Anduin can feel that the life energy transformed by Desolation is probably much more advanced than the life essence created through the life refining ritual. Maybe he can in turn upgrade the life refining array to a higher quality one.

Shape.

However, these studies will have to be completed in the future. What we need to do now is to take stock of the harvest.

Anduin did not linger in this room any longer. He had already obtained the drawings of the magic circle. He would just find a way to transport the ready-made magic circle later.

After he walked out of the room on the left, he walked straight towards the room on the right of the entrance. According to Beaumont in the portrait, this should be the Rune Snake's warehouse.

After pushing the door and entering, what comes into view are hundreds of beautifully carved wooden shelves, but most of them are empty. I am afraid that as Beaumont said, many supplies have been transferred to the club's warehouse.

Anduin followed the shelves and checked carefully, and then he saw more than a dozen bottles of finished elixir, which was enough for at least several years. It seemed that the Rune Snake also knew how to save some for itself.

Secondly, in more shelves, there are stored a large number of magical animal by-products, including magical animal furs, bones, teeth, etc. that can be measured in tons, which should be stripped out after the life refinement is completed.

Trichosanthis

Because the hair of many of the animal furs looked dull and lacked vitality at first glance, but after inspection, Anduin found that although these leathers were not as high-quality as the raw materials that were directly stripped, the quality was decent, at least.

There is no big problem in using it to produce alchemy items.

In addition, there are many resources produced by magical animals such as Zizimi on the shelves, but overall that's about it.

Gold galleons? Not even one.

Alchemy materials? Not even one.

"There are a lot less things here than expected. It seems that the big head is still in the headquarters. After cleaning up the things here, we can stop by to take over the Silver Spear headquarters."

Anduin shook his head helplessly, then turned back and walked out of the room. At this time, Shalltear and others also entered the basement and were waiting quietly in the hall.

"Sir, it was completely destroyed up there. I didn't find any of the Muggle art. However, there were quite a few living magical animals that were knocked unconscious on the edge of the valley. They probably didn't have time to escape before. I have collected them all.

It's in the suitcase." Shalltear reported to Anduin with a smile.

"Very good. There are a lot of magical animals in the room behind me. You can transport them all away and place them in warehouse No. 3 of the experimental building. There should be enough space there." Anduin pointed to the room behind him.

The door gave a warning.

And just when Shalltear took the order and prepared to take action, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the side.

"How come vampires and magical animals appear? Are you really not Goodwin?" Beaumont in the portrait stared at Anduin and his party, showing an expression of disbelief.

"It's none of your business. Your shabby painting will be left in this damn place by the rune snake. It must not be a good thing." After saying that, Shalltear tilted her head and asked Anduin, "Sir, why don't you put this piece of art away?"

Shall we burn them with fire?"

Anduin shook his head when he heard this, "Let these portraits decide for themselves. Although they are just portraits, they are all celebrities from hundreds of years ago. Let's give them some final respect."

"Goodwin is dead! Goodwin is dead!" Beaumont didn't pay attention to what Anduin and others said. He just shouted excitedly, instantly awakening the other portraits in the hall, and then these magical portraits came to you.

As we talked, we seemed to be sharing the joy in our hearts.

"Sir, we seem to have been ignored..." Shalltear muttered speechlessly as she looked at the pile of portraits talking to themselves.

"Then let's just ignore them." Anduin chuckled. "Go to work first. When you're done, come find me in the middle room."

After that, he didn't bother to pay attention to these noisy portraits, and plunged into the room opposite the entrance with a clear purpose.

This Rune Snake's private library is much larger than the other two rooms. From the inside, it can be seen that it has been expanded by the Seamless Stretching Curse. It actually has two floors, and it is almost a sight to look at.

Endless bookshelves.

However, after a brief search by Anduin, he found that the information in the library was quite complex, and a large part of it was actually various newspapers and periodicals from the past century.

At the same time, the bookshelf also collected a large number of entertainment books from the Muggle world, such as world classics, and Anduin even read gossip magazines from various countries.

In addition, books related to wizards are also all-encompassing, including various wizard autobiographies, travel notes, and even recipes.

It seems that the Rune Snake who has lived for hundreds of years is really bored. He may rely on these books to help him pass the long time.

Anduin spent several hours in the library, together with Shalltear who came to join him later, to roughly classify these books.

Divided into 'useless' purely boring Muggle and wizard books, 'might be useful' wizarding newspapers and periodicals, various academic journals from previous years that are 'of little use', and 'useful' magical materials.

After subdividing it, Anduin found that the information was still very rich, and the "useful" content alone could fill dozens of bookshelves.

At the same time, Anduin also unexpectedly found Rune Snake's personal notes, which contained six large boxes. Most of them were the other party's diaries, which actually recorded a lot of club-related content.

As for the personal magic research that Anduin is most concerned about, Rune Snake records quite little content. Unlike Phoenix, Thunderbird and other talented wizards, Rune Snake has almost no original magic research of his own.

The magic that he is good at is almost always learned from others.

These include the gravity spell that Anduin is most interested in, spells he has seen before.
