Chapter 4114 Chapter 4116 [Druid Transformation]
In the potions class, the students began to learn how to extract white essence.
This is a very effective medicine for treating bruises. It is mainly extracted from white flowers, and this requires the use of the "impregnation method" in the potion.
There are three techniques for making potions, namely decoction, brewing and maceration.
The decoction method involves placing the herbs in a crucible and slowly simmering them over fire. Magic potions such as love potions, bliss potions, compound decoctions, sore removal potions, refreshing potions, and living **** potions all use the decoction method.
The brewing method is suitable for making some simple potions, such as preparing water of life and death. You only need to mix narcissus root powder and mugwort liquid. Use **** stones to help detoxify people, or soak them in water...
The maceration method mainly uses oils to extract the beneficial ingredients in the herbs. For example, to make aspic essence, soak the whole plant in almond oil; to make burn ointment, soak the herb in sesame oil and extract it; to use whirling stone to make an antidote, it is to soak it in saffron oil...
Freshmen such as Xiang Nan have already learned the decoction method, so now it is time to learn the "soaking method", which is also a novel experience for them.
And Xiang Nan also earned another ten points for Ravenclaw because of his skillful operation and standard process.
…
It was Thursday, and at night, Xiang Nan put on his invisibility cloak, quietly left the public room, and then walked all the way to the greenhouse outside the castle.
At this time, the full moon was hanging high in the sky, and the moonlight was extremely bright.
Xiang Nan sneaked into the third greenhouse, where there were pots of mandrakes, sleeping soundly under the moonlight.
Xiang Nan sealed his ears first, and then quietly stepped forward. With lightning speed, he grabbed a handful of mandrake and put it into his mouth.
According to the information he found on the druid's transformation technique, he needed to put a handful of mandrake into his mouth on a full moon night. For the next month, the grass must not be spit out or swallowed, and naturally it cannot be chewed.
This is something difficult for ordinary people to do.
Because it feels very awkward to hold a handful of grass blades in your mouth. And it’s hard not to get bitten when you’re eating or talking. When sleeping, it is inevitable to swallow it.
Therefore, very few people have mastered Druid Transformation since ancient times. It is really difficult for ordinary wizards, and it is not easy to complete the first level.
So later, people simplified the steps of the druid's transformation technique, and only required people to hold a piece of mandrake. This is the training technique of Animagus.
But because of this, Animagus can only change into one form, unlike Druid's transformation, which can change into many forms.
But for Xiang Nan, holding a handful of leaves in his mouth is no big deal.
Because he is a top martial arts master, he can control any muscle on his body to do whatever he wants, and he will never swallow or chew the leaves.
Moreover, he could go without food or water for a month. Ordinary wizards would never be able to do this, so if they wanted to practice Druid Transformation, they would not be able to pass the first hurdle.
Xiang Nan then left the greenhouse, and after he left, a handful of mandrakes were plucked away, and they began to scream in pain, and then woke up the other mandrakes, causing the entire greenhouse to become a mess. Chaos.
…
Xiang Nan then took out his broomstick and flew into the Forbidden Forest. He wanted to find a place where there was no sunlight and few people, and collect a silver teaspoon of dew. I saw that the trees in the Forbidden Forest were very dense and almost airtight. What seems like a quiet forbidden forest is actually very rich in species and becomes very active at night.
As far as Xiang Nan knew, there were centaurs, werewolves, thestrals, trolls, unicorns, moon-crazed beasts, eight-eyed spiders, bowtruckles, etc.
During the flight, Xiang Nan saw a group of werewolves, attacking and biting each other under the full moonlight. The ferocity made Xiang Nan a little stunned.
It is worth mentioning that the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts are different from Remus Lupine. They are pure-blood werewolves and a kind of dark magical creatures.
They can turn wizards into werewolves by biting them.
For example, the werewolf leader Fenrir Greyback likes to do this. It also likes to bite young wizards, turning them into werewolves since they were young. They have been discriminated against and excluded by the wizarding world since they were young.
In this way, these little wizards will naturally hate the wizarding world when they grow up. When the time comes, it can recruit them into its ranks and form a large and powerful army.
During the Second Wizarding War, Fenrir Greyback led the werewolf tribe to join Voldemort's organization and help him fight against the Ministry of Magic. Remus Lupine also went undercover under its command.
Even though Fenrir and other werewolves chose to be loyal to Voldemort and were incredibly powerful, they were still looked down upon by Death Eaters and called "filthy scavengers."
However, the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts are not as cruel as Fenrir, and they do not want to attack the students of Hogwarts, so successive principals have allowed them to survive in the Forbidden Forest.
Xiang Nan knew that they had done no evil, so he did not provoke them. Otherwise, he really wants to try whether the "Sucking Power Dafa" can also absorb the life force of the werewolf.
…
Xiang Nan rode a broomstick through the forbidden forest and came to the shade of the mountains, where he found a quiet, desolate and humid place in the dense forest.
There is no sunlight all year round in the shade, and no one comes. He marked it there, and a week later he would take the little crystal bottle with him and take a silver teaspoon of dew.
After making the mark, Xiang Nan quietly slipped back to Hogwarts.
For the next few days, he behaved very normally. I actively answer questions in class, go to the library to borrow books after class, and then go to the Room of Requirement to brew medicine. My life is fulfilling and ordinary.
At this time, the outside world is becoming more and more chaotic and darker. Voldemort's Death Eater organization is still suppressing Muggle wizards.
They published articles in newspapers advocating the doctrine of "pure-blood supremacy" and falsely accusing Muggle wizards of being thieves who stole the magic of pure-blood wizards, because they advocated that no punishment be excessive for these "despicable thieves". Promote violence.
They also advocated that the wizarding world should rule the Muggle world, instead of hiding like rats in a hole under the constraints of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy.
Their initiative won the support of many pure-blood families and many "wizard supremacists". Therefore, many wizards, even those who are not pure blood, are willing to defect to him and work for him.
For example, Severus Snape in the original version chose to be loyal to Voldemort because he hated Muggles and advocated "wizard supremacy."
In fact, in the wizarding world, there are many people who believe in "wizard supremacy" and despise Muggles.
Even Arthur Weasley and Albus Dumbledore, who have always been friendly to Muggles, still have a sense of superiority towards Muggles, which is why Voldemort's ideas are so popular.
Because of this, Voldemort's power continues to grow.
