Chapter 775 Slughorn’s Magical Talent
The legendary fountain of good luck suddenly appeared in her hands, and Shirley felt unreal for a moment.
Next, an even more unreal scene appeared.
I saw Luo Fu picking up several more bottles and chanting:
"This is the Fountain of Youth... This is the Fountain that cures all diseases... This is the Fountain of Bone Proliferation..."
"..."
Listening to the series of bluffing names, Shirley was silent at first, then smiled and said:
"Rolph, are you really not buying these things from Diagon Alley?"
There are several shops in Diagon Alley, where the Philosopher's Stone is sold by the pound, Gryffindor's twenty swords in a bundle, Ravenclaw's diadem, Merlin's wand, last week's bronzes, and soldering The inferi...
The Fountain of Youth and the Elixir of Immortality are frequent visitors, and they are peddled by the public.
When Luo Fu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. "Looking at these bottles and jars, they do look like fakes from Diagon Alley."
He picked up a bottle casually. Shirley tilted her head slightly and read:
"Zimu Spring."
"I heard from Hufflepuff that Ravenclaw conceived Helena as a virgin after taking a spring water in Avalon." Rolf muttered:
"The Virgin Mary also gave birth to Jesus in this way...she probably drank from this spring water."
Looking at the Zimu Spring in his hand, Luo Fu's mind suddenly resounded with the haunting Henan opera "Jesus Baby" from a fellow Henan villager.
Joseph, sit down and listen to what I say. When you get married, carpenter, you will marry Mary. She got pregnant before marriage, so she knows you are concerned about her. Who is the child's father? I can't sleep every day and night...
Shirley shook the bottle in her hand and asked, "With this, Nymeria and Myrcella will be saved, right?"
Luo Fu came to his senses and said softly:
"If this is really the Fountain of Good Luck, it is, but I'm afraid it's not... We need to verify it."
Shirley hummed and unscrewed the bottle cap. She did not go directly to the bottle mouth, but gently fanned the bottle mouth towards her nose with her hand, causing a very small amount of the drug volatiles to float towards her.
She sniffed, looked at the mouth of the bottle, and observed: "There is no smell, and the color of the liquid is transparent... just like water."
Luofu pondered.
The smell of the Good Luck Elixir was like honey and the color was golden yellow. He originally thought that the Fountain of Good Luck with similar effects would have similar characteristics... But looking at it now, it seemed to have none.
"Then let's try it on mice," said Luo Fu. "Give them a small amount of medicine and see how it goes."
As in the Muggle medical field, wizards use mice to test medicines.
Of course, Snape usually tests drugs on students, such as Harry and Ron.
Shirley waved her wand, and a cage flew out of the black suitcase and landed on the table.
She took out four more cups and poured the liquid in the bottles into them.
Rove opened the cage, released the mice, and gave them liquid.
He also made a small opening in the paw of a mouse and dripped a liquid labeled Healing Water into it.
After a wave of operations, the mice showed no reaction, neither died, nor did their wounds heal.
Luofu also touched the belly of a mouse. After taking Zimuquan, she showed no signs of fetal movement.
Luo Fu and Shirley struggled for a while and finally determined that these liquids probably had no effect.
"Is it because it has been left for too long, so it loses its effectiveness?" Shirley guessed: "Or maybe after leaving Avalon, the water loses its magical effect?"
"It's all possible." Luo Fu sighed, his happiness was in vain.
At this time, Jenny's figure appeared on the porch, and she whispered: "Mr. Scamander, Miss Swinton, there is someone visiting outside the door."
"Who is it?" Rove asked.
"An old male wizard with thinning hair, and a young female wizard with short straw-colored hair."
Rolf and Shirley looked at each other.
"Slughorn and his great-granddaughter?" The ponytailed girl frowned, "What are they doing here?"
"Probably here to apologize." Rolf leaned on the sofa and said, "By the way, he invited us to join his slug club."
"Slug...club?"
"Slughorn likes to hold small parties and invite others to attend." Rove explained: "We must have become his target."
"Want to meet then?"
"Let's meet. It's still early for this trip. You can't avoid it. Sooner or later we will meet." Luo Fu looked at the bottles and cans on the table and said with a smile:
"By the way, Slughorn is also the master of potions, so let him help take a look at these things."
…
…
Standing in the long, empty corridor, Nellise Slughorn looked at the closed door and asked:
"Grandpa, are you sure this is the room?"
"Sure." Slughorn lowered his voice and said:
"The third officer on the Mayflower is my former student. I found out the location from him... Look, the nameplate above also says Scamander."
"Hey, that's true." Naili Shi said doubtfully: "Ours are all room numbers, why are they names here?"
"Captain Carlos gave this room to Scamander permanently." Slughorn said mysteriously.
Nelisi's curiosity suddenly aroused and she asked, "Why?"
"I heard from one of my students...two years ago, the Mayflower went to the United States and was attacked by Cabrosaurus on the way." Slughorn described vividly:
"Scamander was on the ship, fought off the Cabron, saved a whole ship of passengers, and Captain Carlos gave him the room."
"Is there such a thing?" Nellie's beautiful eyes wandered, "Then why didn't you see the newspaper report?"
"I don't know either." Slughorn guessed: "Maybe Scamander is more low-key?"
Nelisi twitched her lips. In the past two years, every day when she opened the newspaper, she would read the news about Scamander... Is this still low-key?
"Nelisi, don't forget to invite Scamander to our room for a party tonight." Slughorn reminded.
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, Grandpa." Naili Shi gloated: "You said bad things about others this morning and they heard them. How can I open my mouth to invite you?"
"So, it depends on your performance for a while." Slughorn explained:
"If it doesn't work, just say that you have summer homework and can't do it, and you have to drag him to your bedroom with force, and the two of you will stay there until night."
"..."
Nelisi always felt strange. Just as she was about to speak, the door creaked open and a handsome blond boy came out.
Rolf first glanced at Nellie, who was wearing a floral skirt, then looked at Slughorn, and asked politely:
"Mr. Slughorn, hello...are you okay?"
"Child." Slughorn stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "I heard that your room is not far from mine, so I brought Nellie to visit you. Won't you disturb me?"
"Of course I won't bother you." Luofu shook hands with the old man and said with a smile:
"I should be visiting you, but I am not polite enough to let you come to my place instead... Please come in."
As the young man spoke, there was a sudden "ding" in his brain.
