"What are you going to do?" Tolkien watched as Zhao Mai picked up the wormwood, smelled it under his nose, then bit off a piece with his teeth and began to chew it. "It's poisonous! Spit it out He immediately picked up the emetic he had just prepared and handed it over.
"It's OK. I won't get poisoned." Zhao Mai used the natural force to wrap the things in his mouth, and then slowly realized its medicinal properties. After that, he took a sip of emetic and experienced it in the same way.
In this way, Zhao Mai tasted all the ingredients needed for the emetic one by one, and carefully compared them with the composition of the emetic. With the increasing control of the natural force, druids will gradually break away from the original "human" after learning to transform into other biological forms. Toxin immunity is a universal ability of Druids at this stage.
On this basis, the Druids can further refine this ability, such as using the natural force to analyze the toxicity and drug properties of animals and plants. In fact, this is closely related to the ability to transform. Druids who become poisonous snakes have the same poisonous teeth and glands as snakes. Druids who become puffer fish also have the same delicious and dangerous qualities. One of the keys is understanding and the other is imitation, which is within the scope of the natural force.
However, the natural force will not make Zhao Mai a chemist, nor will it automatically provide him with the best formula. He first concocted according to the method in the textbook, tasted every step again, experienced the process of drug manufacturing with his own body, analyzed which component played the most important role, whether each step played the most important role, and whether it could be improved.
He is just like an analyzer, and the pharmacy knowledge he learned from the bachelors in the continent of Westeros let him in. The formula of the wizard world provides the basic path, and he has the extremely accurate pharmacy operation ability by using the psionic powers. Tolkien can only control the accuracy of the material to a few grams, but Zhao Mai uses his psychic powers to be ten or even a hundred times more accurate than him. Zhao Mai was able to divide the original experimental material into more than 30 parts according to proportion and do 30 smaller scale experiments. He constantly improves the efficiency of every step and gradually advances it. By the time it was dark, after more than 200 iterations, he had completed version 24.0 of emetic, and the efficacy almost reached the limit of this formula.
However, the operation method he used was quite different from that in books. Except for the same raw materials, he could not see that it was a kind of medicine at all.
Tolkien licked a drop of emetic with his tongue. Then he couldn't stand it any more. He held the garbage can on the ground and spat up. Zhao Mai used the natural force to help him control his body's reaction, and then helped him stand up. Tolkien wiped his mouth: "this It's powerful. It's powerful! "
"I think you are praising me." Zhao Mai helped him to the chair and said, "I find a very strange thing: this potion uses the power of the material itself, not the power of incantation."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, if you don't use magic to operate the preparation process, the potion can be configured by ordinary people, and you don't need to have the casting ability." Zhao Mai then turned the book to the next page: "let's see if the next medicine is the same."
They were busy late into the night, and didn't rush back to the dorm until Hogwarts lights out. They tested three kinds of medicaments on the same day, and Zhao Mai found a way to strengthen the efficacy with similar means. The next day, with doubts, Zhao Mai found Professor Dumbledore after class.
He has his own office. It's not big, but it's very comfortable. In the middle of the roof is an orange ball lamp, next to which there is a small blue ball revolving around it. It is estimated that it takes the symbolic meaning of the sun and the earth. The huge bookcase is up to the ceiling. The books on the top can look at the sun and the earth, and the gilded characters on the spine can be easily distinguished by the light.
Dumbledore is surrounded by bookshelves. He had a huge desk, cluttered with scrolls, letters, stationery, specimens, potions and models. When Zhao Mai came in, he was staring at the table: "all stand up, we have guests."
The things on the desk didn't move at all, but the chair on the opposite side of the desk came by itself. As he moved, he threw off the old Nightgown hanging on the back of the chair, so that Zhao Mai could sit down comfortably. "I've been thinking about when you'll come to me, but I didn't think it would be today. It seems that my prophecy is still as bad as it used to be." He said with a smile to Zhao Mai, "I know the trouble you and ah duo are in, but I'm sorry. I applied, but the school examination committee is not willing to change the rules at present."
"The examination committee?"
"Yes, the examination committee I'm talking about is the president." Dumbledore reached out his slender fingers and rummaged on the table. "Ah, here, I remember leaving a packet of candy. How about one? It's pure chocolate, not beady beans. "
"Thank you." Zhao Mai took a chocolate candy and threw it into his mouth. Sugar time a little long, with some dust on the top of the feeling, but everything else is OK, sweet and greasy aroma soon filled the mouth. "Don't you want us both to pass the exam?"
"Oh no, he's not targeting you two, I can guarantee that." Dumbledore said: "the examinations used now have lasted for decades, and generations of witches have been tested in this way. Although it cannot be said to be absolutely correct, there is at least a fixed standard. Now too many people are paying attention to you students. If we propose to change the screening criteria at this time, it will attract too much unnecessary attention for the school. Moreover, this matter must be reported to the Ministry of magic. Even if the Ministry of magic approves the change, the examination will have been completed at that time. "Zhao Mai nodded. Dumbledore was very realistic. It was really difficult to change the rules. However, he is open-minded. Even if he fails the exam, he just can't stay at Hogwarts to study, which doesn't mean he can't study.
"Ah duo's situation is very interesting, and the situation is very clear. All he can say is ah duo, but the meaning is the same as ordinary people, so he can show his magic. Some magical creatures have a similar phenomenon when they cast magic spells. According to the ancient books, the upper ancient dragon used dragon language to cast magic - not to spit fire. Ah Duo is a giant. It is very possible that some ancient blood in his body shows its power, which leads to all this. Even if he can't pass the exam, he will be a good wizard. "
"Thank you for your compliment. Ah duo's magic spell is very good, but he can't do it in other subjects. In fact, this problem is quite big. "
"School is not the only way to success, nor is it the only ladder to shape character." Dumbledore said, "Mike, I'm more interested in what's going on with you. I've read a lot of books looking for similar symptoms - I can't find a better word to replace it with symptoms for the time being, I'm not saying you're sick - I've actually found a passage. "
Dumbledore looked up and glanced across the bookshelf: "well, where is it? I saw it the day before yesterday. Oh yes, here it is As soon as he waved, a large book with a heavy stone cover rolled down from the shelf. This time, the things on the desk, whether scrolls or stationery, all screamed and ran away, because two seconds later, the big stone book hit the desk with a loud bang.
Wave hands to blow away the dust. On the stone cover are the words carved with chisels: "the origin of magic".
