Chapter 193 Two News (please subscribe, ask monthly pass)

Fog wafts over a dirty river.

The river meanders, and there are piles of garbage in the weeds on both sides.

In a community not far away, a huge chimney stands there, which is the remnant of an abandoned mill once upon a time. It is dilapidated, gloomy, and looks ominous from a distance.

The two-story red brick houses are lined up here. There are few windows on the surface of the houses, and only small rectangular windows can be seen sporadically. The window frames cross horizontally and vertically, like crosses.

This is Spider's End, where piles of rubbish can be seen everywhere, and this is the home of Hogwarts potions professor Severus Snape.

19 Spider's End Lane.

Snape sat on a frayed sofa, looked at the "Golden Crucible" journal in his hand, picked up the teacup on the low table beside the sofa, turned it around, and turned the notch on the cup On the other side, Snape took a sip of the black tea in it, moistened his dry throat, and continued to read.

After reading the thesis on wolfbane in "The Golden Crucible", Snape frowned slightly. After thinking for a long time, he shook his head slightly and muttered to himself: "It's useless!"

Putting "The Golden Crucible" aside, Snape picked up another book, and when he was about to read it, there was a sudden cooing and knocking on the window outside the window.

Standing up to open the window, looking at the owl that fell outside the window, Snape frowned again, reached out and took the letter from the owl's leg, then ignored the owl's movement of begging for nuts, chased it away, closed the window, and sat down again On the sofa with frayed and fuzzy surface.

Flipping through the letters, seeing that it was from Sean, Snape's frowning eased.

Opening the letter and looking at the contents, Snape's relaxed expression gradually became serious again. He straightened up slightly, and his originally relaxed brows were wrinkled again, but it wasn't because of irritability or impatience. It was Snape's serious performance.

After reading the letter, Snape got up immediately and went to the next room, which has been converted into a simple laboratory by Snape, and there are all kinds of worn-out but complete tools in it. The walls of the laboratory were covered with the same cabinets as those in Hogwarts' Nesnape's office. He took some materials out of them, and quickly made a substitute for wolf according to the contents of Sean's letter. One of the ingredients of the poison potion, after testing and testing, Snape sat in the laboratory and thought for a while, finally took out the parchment and quill, and wrote a reply to Sean.

When Sean received the reply, he had already returned home.

Looking at Snape's reply letter, there was a suggestion given by Snape. I have to say that Snape, as one of the top potion masters in the magic world, his suggestion really gave Sean a sense of enlightenment. The stagnant second material alternative, now finally has a new direction.

There are materials in Wolfsbane Potion, and the price of of them is quite expensive. Xiao En's goal is to find substitutes as much as possible to bring down the price. The brewing process can be separated to indirectly reduce the difficulty of brewing. .

He did this not only because he wanted to create some benefits or love for werewolf wizards. Of course he also had some thoughts on this part, but Sean's main purpose was to write something that could Paper published in the Golden Crucible series.

Just like the wolf poison potion back then.

Sean's form of wolfbane potion is also going to be written into a series of papers to accumulate a wave of popularity and the right to speak in potions.

Of course, there are also some requirements for the series of papers. It is just a replacement of a material, and of course it can be written as a paper, but the replacement of a material can reduce the cost and difficulty of brewing chamaejasbane potion. It is not intuitive and ideal, so Sean After preparing to accumulate three to four alternative materials, write a paper and publish it.

He is not afraid that someone will follow his thesis to conduct experiments. The alternative methods Sean researched contain a lot of chemical knowledge of ordinary people. Sean is very sure that these potion masters who look down on ordinary people will not conduct this aspect at all. Even if they want to study, by the time they understand it, Sean has already finished writing the follow-up paper.

Here is the interest, Xiao En has a lot of fun in research.

At the end of the holiday, Blaise came to be a guest at home, and Sean stopped the research for half a day, and then drove away Blaise, who was reluctant to part with Cesar, and then re-invested in the research until the eve of the start of school.

"Hey, did you know? I heard that the famous Harry Potter blew up his aunt into a balloon and floated into the sky. Many Muggles saw it and caused quite a commotion."

"And then? And what happened?"

"Then Fudge, the Minister of Magic, personally helped him settle the matter." There was a hint of sarcasm in this voice.

"Ha, it's no wonder. Who doesn't know that Fudge is Dumbledore's follower. If Dumbledore wants to make the great savior Harry Potter safe, the Minister of Magic must come out and wipe his ass."

"The minister who wiped his ass? Hahaha."

Walking in Diagon Alley, Sean followed Aldrich. Although Aldridge has been very busy recently, of course Aldridge will follow Sean when it comes to buying books before school starts.

Sean listened to the words of the two people in front, and he only needed to judge from their attitude towards Harry, Dumbledore, and Fudge at this stage. These two guys must be senior Slytherin students. up.

Sean and Aldridge walked into Lihen Bookstore, ready to buy textbooks for the new semester.

While the two of them were waiting in line, the people in front were talking about Harry blowing up his aunt into a balloon again, but compared to the previous two Slytherins, their words were much more polite and tolerant, Either Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw.

The queue time wasn't too long, but when Sean was about to arrive, the people behind suddenly whispered, "Hey, have you read the Daily Prophet? The latest news."

"News? I haven't read the Daily Prophet recently. Is the news you mentioned about the Weasley family winning a lottery and traveling to Egypt?"

"How is it possible? This has nothing to do with them. I'm talking about the latest news. Someone escaped from that Azkaban, and he escaped silently. I really don't know how it came out. That's Azkaban. Caban!"

"Azkaban? What's the name of that fugitive?"

"I still remember that name. It is said that he was a Death Eater of the mysterious man, named Sirius! Sirius Black! A prisoner who should have been in Azkaban!"
