The Admiral of Hogwarts

#130 - Magic potion and glasses

The reason for saving those four voodoo witch apprentices in America last time was not only due to some inherent kindness of the ship girls, but also because the other party possessed a method to transform werewolves back into humans. Therefore, Hugo and the others naturally hoped to master this method as well.

Unfortunately, although they were granted permission by these voodoo witch apprentices to peruse the relevant documents and records, these records were not only fragmented but also lacked certain crucial information. As a result, Hugo and the others were unable to replicate the technique.

As these apprentices had said before, this magic was a new type of magic independently developed by their teacher, combining the voodoo magic inherited from their school with their own ideas. Therefore, unless their teacher could be restored, it would be impossible to reproduce this magic.

Fortunately, according to these three apprentices, Lockhart might have been worried that they would return at any time when he cast the Obliviation Charm on their teacher, so the spell was cast very crudely. On the one hand, this caused trauma to their teacher's soul, but on the other hand, it only erased the memories related to transforming werewolves, without affecting the magic itself.

In other words, if Glory's previous analysis was correct, Hugo believed that his side should be able to complete the treatment of that voodoo witch teacher in half a year to a year, and then obtain this special magic from that elderly voodoo witch.

Although Hugo and the others could not obtain this important transformation magic for the time being, Hood and the others also learned a lot of valuable knowledge through this period of communication with the three apprentices. For example, how to control those werewolves who had already transformed on the night of the full moon.

"In fact, the method of controlling werewolves has been circulating in the New World for hundreds of years. Many local indigenous tribes use this method to control some werewolves as their main combat force," Inflexible earnestly reported to Hugo.

"And the principle is very simple, which is to reduce the bestial side of werewolves through certain potions to facilitate control."

"However, this method is also very dangerous," Hood added at this time. "The potion can only reduce the bestiality, it doesn't mean it can completely eliminate it. Therefore, many wizards who historically controlled werewolves were infected or died directly due to sudden attacks by werewolves, and there were even more cases of werewolves being killed by enemies for disobeying orders."

"At the same time, this danger is not only directed at those who want to control werewolves, but also includes the werewolves themselves. Although this potion only needs to be drunk once every six months, the mortality rate of about 1% to 3% after drinking the potion makes werewolves feel like they are playing Russian roulette when they drink the potion."

"A potion that can reduce bestiality?" Hugo noticed a key word in the narrative at this time, and then directly asked. "Do you know anything about this potion, such as the specific effects of this potion, or even further, the recipe for this potion?"

"We did obtain the complete recipe for this potion, but it is basically of little value to us." Inflexible shook her head slightly and said. "Because Damocles Belby obtained this potion from the New World more than ten years ago and invented the Wolfsbane Potion based on it."

"Compared to this potion, the Wolfsbane Potion is easier to prepare, uses cheaper materials, and has better effects. Although it needs to be drunk once a month, at least it won't cause sudden death after drinking the potion without any warning. Therefore, even if we make this original potion, it is estimated that no one will drink it."

"Uh—okay." Hugo shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

He originally thought that he could create a good opportunity to make money or gain prestige through this potion, but now it seems that he was overthinking it. Because there had already been pioneers who had done what he wanted to do in this regard.

"Oh right, I have something to give you here." Just after everyone chatted for a few more sentences, Hugo stood up to leave. However, just as he had just stood up from the stool, Inflexible suddenly called him and handed him two boxes that looked only the size of a palm.

"This is—" Looking at the two copper boxes with caviar-patterned shells in his hand, Hugo looked at Inflexible with some incomprehension.

Because under normal circumstances, ship girls would not give him gifts for no reason, so Inflexible's practice of directly giving him two boxes made him feel a little strange.

"Ah, this is glasses." Inflexible opened one of the boxes, revealing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses inside. "We obtained information about possible events this year from the Admiral Network, so we felt that we should prepare some defensive measures to avoid some bad outcomes."

"But my eyes are fine, and I'm not nearsighted." Hugo took out the glasses and put them on his face to try them, and then said, "More importantly, many people in school know this fact, so if I wear these glasses to school this year, some people may suspect me."

"Yes, that's indeed the case, so we have also made corresponding preparations." Inflexible said and took off the glasses from Hugo's face and then said.

"This is not an ordinary pair of glasses, but a magical item in the shape of glasses. It is also a product that we will launch in the future."

While Inflexible was introducing to Hugo, her hands did not stop, but directly tapped the metal frame in the middle of the two lenses with her wand. Just when the wand tapped the metal frame for the third time, the two crystal lenses flashed a faint blue light at the same time.

"As long as you tap it three times, the function of these glasses will be activated." Inflexible demonstrated with her hands while introducing to Hugo.

"After activation, gently pressing the crystal bead inlaid on the outside of the left eyeglass leg with your finger can take a photo, and rolling the crystal bead from the inside with your finger can view the photos taken."

"And pressing the crystal bead on the outside of the right eyeglass leg can record audio, and pressing it again will stop recording. Similarly, rolling the crystal bead from the inside can listen to those recordings. These designs are conducive to recording some important knowledge points and blackboard writing that teachers talk about in class."

"In addition, this thing can also be used as a telescope or a magnifying glass. As long as you make the corresponding gestures in front of the lenses, you can."

Listening to Inflexible's introduction, Hugo immediately understood the use of this thing. After all, the function of this thing is similar to some functions of smart phones in later generations.

However, compared to smart phones, the memory of this thing is really terribly low. It can only store 50 photos and 100 minutes of recording in total, and the storage space required for recording and video cannot be exchanged for each other.

After all, Inflexible had to consider the cost when making these glasses, so the performance of the raw materials limited the overall effectiveness of the items. But for Hugo, this performance was already enough.

"Then I will accept this, thank you!" After figuring out the detailed usage, Hugo nodded to express his gratitude, then put away the two pairs of glasses prepared by the ship girls for himself and his sister and left this small room with Hood and Inflexible.
