Chapter 250: You Make Me Look Redundant... Wait! You're Not Just Here To Show Off, Are You?

Chapter 250: You Make Me Look Redundant... Wait! You're Not Just Here To Show Off, Are You?

To Snape's reaction.

Blake had expected this.

If Snape saw his potion recipe and had no reaction.

Then he really has to doubt Snape's reputation as Potions Master.

"Yes, I suddenly had a little inspiration last night."

"So, in order to capture this little bit of inspiration, I had to spend an entire night."

"However, the result was good. I successfully came up with a draft of this recipe."

"However, this is only a theoretical success."

"But you know, the subject of potions requires practical verification.

“So, there is still something that needs to be verified in terms of the weight of each material.

"I think the only one who can help me is Professor Snape."

Snape had been staring at the potion formula in his hands.

Blake didn't know if he listened to what he said.

However, judging from his tightly pursed lips.

There was indeed enough content in this potion recipe to interest him.

Snape held the parchment containing the potion recipe.

Walk quickly to your desk.

Then he pulled out a piece of parchment, picked up a quill, and started writing and drawing.

Blake saw that he didn't care about himself.

So he sat down again without any consciousness.

He picked up the pieces of meat and put them in Snape's new crucible, while quietly watching Snape's expression.

At this time, Snape's expression was wonderful.

For a moment he was confused, for a moment he was suddenly enlightened, for a moment he was frowning, for a moment he was full of surprise...

This was the first time for Blake to see so many expressions on the face of a man like Snape at once.

For Blake, this was hilarious.

While eating hot pot, he watched with relish.

Finally, when Blake stood up contentedly, touching his round belly.

Snape finally put down his quill.

He looked at the potion formula on the table quietly.

There was an expression of disbelief on his face.

Suddenly, without raising his head, Snape finally spoke.

"You said you researched this overnight?"

"Yeah." Blake didn't lie, so he answered very naturally.

Snape frowned and said, "That's impossible!"

"If you want to successfully produce this neutralizing agent alone, you will need to test at least three hundred combinations!"

"And your formula requires seven neutralizers! And each one is more complicated than this one!"

"It is impossible to obtain all the experimental data in one night!"

"Not to mention one night, even one month or one year may not be able to obtain all the experimental data."

"Because you still have to consider the error in the experiment..."

Yes, this neutralizer requires two kinds of herbs.

But the proportion of each of these two herbs is the highlight.

A slight difference in weight would make it impossible to successfully create this neutralizer!

So, you have to experiment slowly and day by day.

But Blake did it overnight?!

This is impossible!

Blake smiled and said: "If we really do research normally and experiment with permutations and combinations one by one, of course it cannot be completed overnight!"

"But... Professor Snape, you have to admit that in this world, some people will always have particularly good luck."

"Good luck?" Snape looked at Blake with wide eyes.

He had considered many possibilities.

The only thing I didn't expect was the possibility...

"Yes! Originally, I really planned to experiment slowly, but unexpectedly, I randomly chose a combination of ingredients for the first time, and then I succeeded!"

"But, there are seven kinds of neutralization..." Snape reminded.

"If you're lucky with one neutralizer, what about the other six?"

"You have to understand what 'extremely good luck' means.

"Are you saying that you were lucky enough to succeed after trying each neutralizer once, and then you were able to get all the neutralizers overnight?"

"Yes, Professor." Blake said helplessly.

It's not Blake who's lying, it's really luck....

He had no intention of coming up with the magic potion formula overnight.

According to his special method, it would take two days no matter what...

But the European Emperor's aura of the Lucky Potion is too powerful.

There was no need for Blake to slowly experiment.

A combination picked at random is the correct answer...

The goddess of luck took the initiative to put the experimental results into Blake's hands...

So what else is there to experiment with?

"Professor, are your concerns wrong?"

Blake reluctantly corrected Snape's focus.

Isn't his focus on the effectiveness of his potion formula?

Why do you keep asking yourself about the time spent on research?

Snape also came to his senses.

He found that he was really over the top.

So, he picked up the quill, pointed at an ingredient in the potion formula and asked.

"This thing is poisonous, why don't you replace it with aconite that has similar effects but is non-toxic?"

Obviously, Snape was really shocked by the potion formula that Blake brought out.

Because even he couldn't understand many parts.

Immediately afterwards, Blake began to explain to Snape.

Originally, Snape thought some of the potion ingredients Blake chose were toxic.

It's because Blake still doesn't know enough about potions and doesn't know enough about the reaction of mixing some herbs.

But in the end he discovered that the clown was actually himself!

Because some poisonous potions, the toxicity in them is actually part of the potion!

"Sometimes, two poisons can be neutralized."

"When these toxins are mixed together, they will not become more poisonous, but the new substances produced are what are needed in the formula..."

Snape's eyes widened. He actually didn't know this.

It's that he feels unfamiliar with these combinations in the potion formula...

"This... I never thought that these two materials, which may explode when touched, would be the best choice if the proportions are correct..."

At this moment, Snape seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

Staring at the magic potion formula in my hand, I felt like I couldn't put it down.

He could stare at this potion recipe all night long!

Blake smiled and said: "Professor, since you can see the way, you naturally know what the effect of my potion is, right?"

Snape nodded, "It seems to be related to delaying aging..."

If you can delay aging, you have a great chance of making people live longer.

Snape looked at Blake with some surprise and said, this is a rare life-extending potion?!"

Lifespan, whether in the wizarding world or the Muggle world.

These are things that people attach great importance to.

Why do so many people desire the Philosopher's Stone?

Isn't it because the magic stone can not only bring endless wealth to people, but also make people immortal?

And about this magic potion.

Since ancient times, there have been many researchers.

The most successful life-extending potion is the elixir made from the magic stone.

As for the rest...

Because there is no magical material like the Philosopher's Stone.

So the effect is not good.

Even many people who claim to have made life-extending magic potions are all liars.

"Absolutely." Blake nodded.

Snape didn't even need the physical object.

Just from my scrawled sketch of the potion formula.

You can see the effect of the potion.

He is worthy of his name as a potion master.

Blake took advantage of Snape's daze.

The Eye of Truth activates quietly.

Then he saw the golden light coming from Snape's head.

This makes sense, as a genius in potions and black magic.

If Snape hadn't been a person of golden quality, he would have felt strange in Lake.

"This magic potion of yours...if it succeeds...No! It will definitely succeed!"

Snape looked at the potion formula and said firmly.

The proportion of the most important ingredients in this potion formula.

Blake has been "lucky" to be chosen.

The rest of the parts are not the most important part.

In terms of experimentation, the difficulty is not the least bit easier than those kinds of neutralizers.

It can be said that the birth of this magic potion is only a matter of time.

Snape glanced at Blake.

"There is no doubt that this kind of magic potion was born...

"As the main researcher, you can't escape with a second-level Medal of Sir Merlin."

…Please give me flowers‥

"If it weren't for your young age, you might have it at Level 1...

Snape was telling the truth.

Blake is too young.

If this potion was to be effectively promoted, Snape's help was indispensable.

And as long as his figure appears on this new potion.

Then others will definitely give him a lot of credit.

Although many people may actually know that these so-called credits have nothing to do with Snape.

But...what does it matter?

After all, few people are willing to accept the absurd fact that their potions knowledge is inferior to that of a teenage boy.

Even Snape himself was reluctant to admit it at first...

Therefore, Blake's first-level medal is likely to become a second-level medal.

Blake smiled and said confidently: "It's okay, it's my first-class medal, it's mine!"

Snape was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the bedrock background of the young man in front of him...

With Dumbledore and Grindelwald around, even the members of Sir Merlin had to give Blake some respect, so how could they deprive him of his reward?

"It's my fault..." Snape lowered his head speechlessly and looked at the potion formula in his hand again.

All roads lead to Rome, but the Blake family

He is indeed the kind of person who was born in "Rome"...

"You go back and prepare a paper..." Snape said suddenly.

Research on new potions requires testing.

The promotion of new potions also requires a paper that is enough to impress other potion masters.

Blake knew, even though Snape didn't say it.

However, since he is asking for a paper from himself.

Then he had the idea of ​​​​helping him revise his paper.

And Snape did think so too.

He published many papers on potions.

So he is very familiar with how to write this kind of paper.

At the same time, he also knows that many newcomers will make some mistakes when publishing papers.

And he can be the final check for Blake to avoid these mistakes.

"Of course, I'm ready."

Blake took it out of his arms again

A long piece of parchment came out….

"You've already prepared your paper?" Snape said in surprise. "How do you know I will help you..."

If Blake hadn't planned ahead, of course he wouldn't have prepared the paper in advance.

After all, many potion masters only write papers after all research is completed.

"But if you prepare the paper in advance, the data to be tested in the formula..."

Snape frowned at Blake.

"If those data were written before the potion was actually cooked, wouldn't it be a bit sloppy?"

"It's okay. I'm confident that I won't be wrong. Just verify it." Blake said, "It's okay even if I'm wrong. I can just change the data in the paper..."

Snape was speechless for a while, then he opened the parchment and read...

After a moment, Snape frowned, rerolled the paper and placed it on the table.

...I will publish it for you..." Snape said expressionlessly.

Originally, he thought he could help Blake revise his paper.

I have regained a little bit of my dignity as a professor.

did not expect....…

This paper is so complete that it doesn’t need revision at all!

Now he just needs to cook the potion.

Then verify that the data is completely correct and that's it.......

"You... make me look superfluous."

Snape said with a straight face.

"I'm a little suspicious. You're not looking for me to help me, but just to show off in front of me..."

Blake couldn't help but touch his nose guiltily.

Good guy, you have guessed this!

Snape sighed.

Blake's potion talent is rare even for Snape!

However, just when he was about to praise Blake again for the first time.

His eyes just glanced at the mess of cups and plates on the table over there.

And the "crucible" that I bought newly and is currently holding the leftover soup base.

Then the corners of Snape's mouth couldn't help but twitch...

"Made, my new crucible..."

...z....
