The Wind and the Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 437 437. Magic Enhancement Potion Bloody Plunder

Scott was speechless about Michael's inconsistency, but he could understand it.

As a father, Michael was just worried about his safety.

"I have always been cautious." He analyzed himself to his father, "Maybe it's because I haven't had the opportunity to verify my strength after it has grown, so I am a little restless."

Michael shook his head when he heard it.

"You are still too young, my son, don't play all your cards easily, this is a truth you should have understood long ago."

Scott shrugged his shoulders.

"Although the truth is clear, whether you can do it or not is another matter."

Michael looked into his eyes and said, "You must think clearly about what is most important to you."

"Of course it's you and your mother." Scott said with a smile.

Michael was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"You should save this kind of words to coax Millie." He said with a curled mouth.

Scott curled his lips, "I'm telling the truth."

Michael coughed and his face became serious again.

"I mean, you should grasp the point. The most important thing for you is to survive the disaster revealed by the prophecy."

After hearing his father's words, Scott also restrained the smile on his face.

Michael put his hand on his shoulder and looked at him.

"You have to give up some things, Scott, don't let other things occupy your attention, you have to go all out to deal with the prophecy."

Scott looked into Michael's eyes, and saw not only concern, but also a lot of worries.

He remembered talking to Michael on the first night of summer vacation, and the sadness and powerlessness hidden in his father's tone.

Since he could remember, the image of Michael, his father in this life, was powerful and almost omnipotent.

This man was always calm and immovable, and it seemed that nothing could knock him down.

But now he saw his father's weakness twice.

That was something that shouldn't have appeared in Michael.

It was all because of himself, because he was in a world he couldn't get involved in.

Scott opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a while.

He had no way to stop Michael's worry, and he could only be glad that Emilia didn't know about this. He couldn't prove that he could get through the future safely, because even he didn't have full confidence.

Not only that, even the Ravenclaw tutor said that he lacked the accumulation of time and it was impossible for him to reach their level of strength in a short time.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Michael sighed, "If you don't have confidence, we can leave, no matter where we go. We can go to any country in the world, even the North and South Poles at the two ends of the earth, and uninhabited islands in the ocean."

"No."

Scott said no reflexively.

He knew very well that the prophecy could not be avoided, and avoiding it would not solve any problems.

Besides, hiding from XZ was not what he wanted.

"I will cheer up, work harder, be more focused, and be more cautious." He looked into Michael's eyes and said word by word.

At this moment, Scott's heart suddenly became firm.

Even if the opponent was Salazar Slytherin, he was unwilling to give up easily.

"In that case, then work hard." Michael said, "Anyway, I will prepare a way out."

Scott could only acquiesce to this.

After breakfast the next day, Scott summoned the portrait of Ravenclaw in his room.

"Teacher, please tell me, is there a faster way to become stronger." He asked in a pleading tone.

Ravenclaw looked at him for a few times and asked gently, "What happened?"

"My enemy is Salazar Slytherin. If I continue like this, I will have no chance of winning, right?" Scott said seriously, "I don't want my father to worry too much about me."

Ravenclaw said, "The route I planned for you is the best. Magic cannot be achieved overnight. Only by following the steps can you go further."

Scott shook his head, "But, if I continue like this, I am not sure if I will have a future."

Ravenclaw smiled slightly, "The prophecy has told us that you won in the end, didn't you?"

"It's not that you can win by doing nothing."

"Of course you didn't do nothing. You have been making progress, child."

"But I don't think that's enough."

"There is no shortcut to the accumulation of knowledge. Because of impatience, your request just now has been far below the standard, my apprentice."

Far below the standard...

Scott was stunned.

Remembering the black dragon he had created with Transfiguration before.

Although the black dragon had a terrifying appearance, a huge body, and could even simulate dragon breath and fire, it was actually just a facade.

It was not a real living thing, but a model that could fly and spit fire, and all actions were controlled by Scott.

If he wanted the black dragon to have the ability to act independently like Rimbaud, and even to have wisdom, he could do it with his current level of Transfiguration, but it was limited by insufficient magic power.

He was a little exhausted after creating the black dragon that day.

To understand the key to the problem, Scott looked at the Ravenclaw in the painting again.

"Dear mentor, is there any way to increase my magic power quickly?"

Ravenclaw smiled again, "Yes."

Scott's eyes lit up, "Please tell me."

"But do you really want to do that?" Ravenclaw asked, "I must remind you that the method I know is risky."

"Have you used it?" Scott asked curiously.

Ravenclaw nodded, "Yes, the environment of the magic world in the past was much more bloody and cruel than today. We would use some methods that have been abandoned in modern times to enhance magic."

"Please teach me." Scott asked again.

"You have two choices." Ravenclaw said, "One is potion, the other is magic ritual."

Scott asked as soon as he thought of it, "Can't we use both?"

Ravenclaw shook his head, "Don't be too greedy, it will cause unpredictable consequences. The wizards in the past have proved it with their lives."

So that's it.

Scott said regretfully: "Then please tell me the difference between the two methods."

Ravenclaw nodded gently.

"The potion is called the Magic Enhancement Potion. Its advantages are that it is relatively safe and stable. Its disadvantages are that it can only increase a small amount of magic power, and the potion materials are hard to find."

"The magic ritual is called the Bloody Plunder. Its advantages are that the magic power can be increased significantly. Its disadvantages are that the method is cruel and bloody, there is a high probability of uncontrollable side effects, and the materials are extremely precious and hard to find."

"Bloody Plunder..."

Scott repeated the name of the magic ritual unconsciously. From the name, one can imagine the nature of this magic ritual.

"Are you interested in Bloody Plunder?"

Ravenclaw said meaningfully.

"Then you need to prepare a unicorn horn, a mermaid tail, two dragon hearts, a pair of thestrals' wings, ten phoenix tears, three runes, a venom sac of a venomous panther, a centaur spine, and all the blood in the body of an adult wizard."

"This..."

Scott was a little dumbfounded.

These things are not so easy for him to get.

Some things cannot be bought even if you have money.

Putting aside other materials, almost no wizard in the magic world dares to hunt the Nangdu leopard.

Because the Nangdu leopard can be said to be the most dangerous animal in the world. It is said that it takes more than a hundred skilled wizards to subdue it.

It is extremely terrible.

The most important thing is...

"All the blood in the body of an adult wizard? Can't everyone put a little?"

"No." Ravenclaw said, "It must be the same person, and it is best to be someone who is related to you by blood, and the closer the better, so as to reduce uncontrollable side effects. Of course, you can't do this."

"What are the side effects?" Scott asked.

"Probably become grotesque." Ravenclaw said, "Many wizards don't care about their appearance."

Scott swallowed his saliva, "This method is rarely used by people, right?"

He thought clearly that this method was not reliable.

"No, it was not uncommon in wizard families in the past." Ravenclaw seemed to be telling a ghost story, "Old wizards will leave their blood to their descendants before they die."

"You..."

"I didn't use this method, but as far as I know, the Slytherin family has this tradition."

"..."

Scott was silent for a few seconds.

He couldn't help asking, "So Slytherin looks strange? Is this why Voldemort lost his nose?"

Ravenclaw smiled, "I don't know about Voldemort, but Salazar is not handsome. When he was young, he had too many wrinkles on his face and no hair."

"..."

Scott couldn't help touching his smooth face and his straight nose.

No, I don't want to sacrifice so much!

He shouted from the bottom of his heart.

"Please tell me how to make the magic potion!"

Ravenclaw in the painting laughed from the bottom of his heart.

"I'll leave it to you."

In the frame, her portrait slowly disappeared, leaving behind dense words.

It is the formula and method of making the magic potion.

Scott quickly took out a pen and paper to copy.

"Guardian tree fruit, mandrake rhizome, devil's snare twig, narcissus bud, two-ear grass, moonstone powder, sirlac fin thorn..."

At first, it was some common herbs and materials.

But gradually, he found that the materials needed for this potion were as precious as Ravenclaw said.

The most precious part even overlapped with the materials needed for bloody plunder.

The blood donated voluntarily by unicorns, the tears of phoenixes, the hearts of dragons, the beards of mermaids, the tail hairs of night mares, and the afterbirths of centaurs.

Of course, the materials needed are far more than these.

Scott filled the whole paper and looked at the formula, still a little embarrassed.

The part that can be bought with money is easy to say, but many things can only be obtained by yourself, which is undoubtedly very difficult.

Not to mention that the process of making potions is also very cumbersome and takes at least half a year.

With Scott's not outstanding potion level, it is not possible to guarantee a successful production at one time. A potion master must be invited to complete it without risk.

It is not so easy to find a potion master.

The closest potion master to Scott is Snape, and the professor is no longer available to make such troublesome potions for him.

Last time, Snape followed Voldemort to Azkaban, and his name was already in Ms. Burns's little notebook, and the Ministry of Magic has issued a wanted order.

As a double agent, Snape has lost one side, and I guess we won't see him in school next semester.

It is still unknown who Dumbledore will find to replace Snape as the potion professor.

Perhaps it will be Professor Slughorn who appeared in the "original book", or someone else.

Now if Scott wants to ask a potion master to make a magic potion for him, there is really no way.

He thought about it and decided that he could only ask Professor Flitwick or Dumbledore for help.

As he was thinking about this, Ravenclaw reappeared in the picture frame.

"It seems that the copying has been completed."

"Yes, teacher, may I ask..."

"Hmm?"

Scott asked carefully, "Can I use this lost formula to find a potion master in exchange for the finished product?"

Ravenclaw had no objection, "If you can do it."

"Thank you."

Hearing the affirmative answer, Scott felt relieved.

It's not that he doesn't want to be self-reliant, but he really can't do it.

In the following time, Ravenclaw did not talk about this topic again, but started a new course.

Scott also put the potion aside for the time being and began to listen to the class seriously.

After dinner that day, Scott used the [Magic Mirror] to make a "video call" to Professor Flitwick.

"Good evening, Scott, oh, is this your home in Spain?"

Professor Flitwick's face appeared in the mirror.

"Good evening, Professor Flitwick."

Scott showed the professor his room.

After chatting for a while, Scott got straight to the point.

"Professor, I would like to ask you for a favor. I wonder if you know any potion masters other than Professor Snape."

"Oh, of course, I do know some other potion masters, including Damocles Belby, who invented the wolfsbane potion. He graduated from Ravenclaw."

"The Ravenclaw tutor gave me a formula for a magic enhancement potion. I think..."

Scott told Professor Flitwick the truth about the magic enhancement potion formula and all his plans.

Professor Flitwick immediately agreed to his request, "Oh, I can try to help you contact a few potion masters. If any of them agree to this deal, I will notify you immediately."

"Thank you so much, professor." Scott thanked him repeatedly.

After the call, he simply took a picture of the formula and sent it to Professor Flitwick.

If everything went well, he would just have to wait for the potion to arrive.

After doing this, Scott magically wrote down the materials needed for the bloody plunder on a piece of paper.

Looking at the headache-inducing names on the paper, Scott sighed and finally stuffed the paper into the drawer.

He looked at his face in the mirror and sighed again.

So handsome.

After all, I still can't muster up the courage to become ugly.
