On the upper floor of the house where the children live in the asylum community, Willie's room is filled with a lot of steam, making the room hazy.
On the desk in one corner of the room, the exquisite clock was clicking, and its watch needle was pointing in the direction consistent with the time on the other side of the burrow.
Or to put it more accurately, at this moment, Delphi on the other side of the burrow did not seem to wake up from his semi coma.
"Clang -"
Suddenly, a sound of glass containers colliding with each other sounded from the other side of the room, breaking the tranquility here.
"Miss Lovegood, bring your mortar with you! It's almost time."
It was Willie who spoke. She saw that she had stood up from the chair, holding a mixing rod in her left hand and two glass beakers of different sizes in her right hand. The collision sound just now was caused by the slight collision of the two beakers.
Not far from her, along the edge of the bed, Luna looked at her and walked to the crucible. Then she got up and brought a mortar containing some material powder.
She was helping Willie grind these potion materials before, but she had already finished her work while waiting for the potion in the crucible to boil completely.
"When you put the last three materials in turn, you can basically finish it."
Willie said, and suddenly put down the beaker, took out the wand, waved it twice, slightly dispersed some of the medicine fog that was steaming in the crucible, and then looked inside.
After confirming that the liquid medicine had indeed reached the required state, she picked up two beakers again and poured the two juices into the crucible in order.
"Bang!"
It has to be said that the reaction was great, and the steam that originally came out of it immediately turned into a dark green that looked more or less suspicious.
At this time, Willie immediately picked up the stirring rod in her left hand, put it into the crucible and drew a circle slowly in a clockwise direction.
"Miss Lovegood, add the dried purple rattan powder, a little bit."
Hearing what Willy said, Luna immediately put the mortar in her hand together and slowly sprinkled the powder in the mortar into the hot liquid medicine which formed a small vortex because it was constantly stirred.
When the three materials were all put out, villeton took back the stirring rod. When the rotating liquid medicine gradually returned to its original boiling appearance, she stretched out her wand and knocked gently on the crucible.
"Poof -"
With a large stream of dark green steam rising suddenly, Luna and Willie subconsciously stepped back two steps and tried their best to fan the medicine mist to one side.
"It's all right," said Willie as she fanned. "These vapors are not only non-toxic, but also calming."
But that said, such a large amount of steam is not only hot, but also somewhat choking. After waiting for a moment, as the liquid medicine cooled down slowly, their vision became much clearer again.
"Wait a little longer. After it cools naturally, you can take it to little Delphi."
Willie sat back in the previous chair, then stretched out her hand to signal that Luna didn't have to stand like this.
"The formula of this magic medicine was developed by a generation of ancestors in our family - you should know, it is because of the blood curse inherited in our family. In fact, when I was a child, I often had a sudden high fever. The younger I was, the more serious the symptoms became. Basically, this fever will not stop completely until the age of magic riots."
At this point, she sipped her mouth and said:
"So... I think little Delphi will go through that again in the future!"
"So, in fact, she won't be in any danger?" Luna blinked and looked at her. "No wonder you don't seem to be in a hurry."
"Well, with this potion to reduce her fever, generally speaking, it's not too dangerous." Willie said so, but at last she shook her head slightly. "However, if little Delphi really will become like what I was when I was a child... No, actually I don't know very well. Logically, her situation should be completely different from that of me."
Yes, because the so-called "blood curse material" has long been understood by Maka, and now it is the task entrusted by Maka to find its successor.
Although the process of finding and giving inheritance is more or less beyond Willie's control, at least... It should not be called a "Curse", but a "power" entrusted by Maka.
"That's right," said Willie at the end after thinking again, "although I'm also worried about little Delphi - she's too young after all, and I care more about what happened last night. But the power itself should not be something terrible... At least I think so."
Although Willie was still calm in her expression and tone when she said these words. However, Luna has naturally noticed the fluctuation in Willie's heart.
Especially when it comes to Maka.
When Willie finished speaking, she paused a little, but heard Luna smile and say:
"Since you believe in Maka, you should trust it to the end! Maka has entrusted this' task 'to you rather than others, which shows that he also believes that you can complete it well - just as you trust him. If you always worry about failure, you will betray the trust of others."
When Luna finished this sentence, Willie gradually fell into a new round of meditation. Seeing this, Luna didn't continue to speak, so she picked up a herbal medicine book that Willie usually reads on the desk from a distance and read it with great interest.
The cooling speed of the liquid medicine in the crucible was faster than expected. After a while, the steam in the room had completely dissipated, and the "gudu gudu" movement in the crucible gradually disappeared.
Until now, as if she had just recovered from her thinking, Willie looked at the crucible that had become quiet.
"The potion has been refined... Luna, I'll fill you a bottle first, and you can take it to little Delphi. I'll pack the rest and give it to Cathy. They keep it for standby."
"Oh."
Luna answered subconsciously, then looked at her and said:
"Well... Don't you send it to little Delphi yourself? If you bottle it, I'll do it."
After hearing Luna say so, Willie hesitated and finally shook her head.
"No."
