Another week later.
"...Sir, I need to remind you that the medicinal properties of Brazilian biting cabbage and Chinese biting cabbage are different and cannot be simply replaced."
Aaron sat alone in an open room on the third floor, with bottles and jars in front of him, and a silver cauldron propped on a flame.
The so-called crucible in the wizarding world is not the same as the chemical instrument called a crucible by Muggles. It is more like a cauldron or a cauldron without feet.
Aaron used his wand to stir the sticky dark green liquid in the large cauldron in front of him - it also gave off a swamp-like smell, and raised his head and asked:
"Maybe not a big difference? Using Brazilian bite kale can reduce costs."
"Yes," Runas replied, "but a 1963 article in Practical Potions Master stated that Brazilian biting cabbage does not have properties that promote rapid bone growth."
"Oh, that's not a problem, I don't need this feature."
With that said, Aaron poured the freshly squeezed cabbage juice into the crucible.
Then, he stirred the crucible with the wand counterclockwise for half a turn, and then stirred it clockwise seven and a half times. Seeing the color of the potion gradually getting lighter, it finally turned into a light green transparent liquid, and a stream of snow-white gas floated out.
Aaron fanned it gently with his hand, and his nose quickly smelled a faint spicy smell, a bit like ginger.
"Very good, done."
This is eyesight water, a magic potion that is extremely difficult to refine. It can be used alone——
It is used to enhance eyesight, and the effect is very good. Just a small sip can make people see the wings of a fly fifty feet away.
Of course, it can also be used in conjunction with a magic potion called eye-blocking water as its antidote. Aaron came up with a new trick based on this:
When encountering danger, you can throw out the bottle containing the blinding water and use magic to turn it into a smoke. As long as you drink the blinding water in advance, you can deprive the enemy of sight.
After his initial studies in alchemy, Aaron perfected the trick: he made special little bottles. The bottle is made into a shape that is easy to throw, and has a special mechanism inside. As long as Aaron throws it out, he can quickly create a blinding water smoke, which is much more effective than smoke bombs.
Aaron filled the eyesight water in a drop-shaped bottle, and another fantastic idea came to his mind:
"Runas, do you think that if you boil dragon's blood until it boils and then add a little salamander powder, can you make a cardiotonic?"
"A very good idea, cleverly utilizing the properties of axolotl powder to speed up blood flow, but I need to remind you that both materials are very flammable and can easily explode when heated and fused... In fact, the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists The fifteenth president once tried this combination.”
"How is the result?"
"The current president is the sixteenth."
"Okay." Aaron put away the idea angrily.
After completing the 'copy' work of Runas, Aaron has not been idle. During this time, he has been refining the magic potion for the school opening demonstration. At the same time, he has not forgotten to practice his alchemy skills. new ideas.
As a person who travels all year round and is keen to conduct inspections in various dangerous places, Aaron has had many encounters with dark creatures. Most of them can be dealt with with good fists, kicks, and swordsmanship, but there are a few that are particularly tricky.
Therefore, in order to better protect himself-although in most cases it is Aaron who takes the initiative to invade other people's territory. Aaron often comes up with some weird gadgets, such as a lighter with a fire charm and a protective hat with an iron armor charm.
After being exposed to alchemy, he immediately found that the messy poisons he usually made had a use:
The simplest use is that they can be combined with the special throwing bottles you invented to turn them into grenades with different effects.
Sure enough, there is no garbage in this world, only misplaced resources.
Just as Aaron was planning to launch new research...
"Sir, we have a visitor."
Runas's voice suddenly sounded in Aaron's ears.
…
Arthur Weasley was walking on the streets of Tinsgetta wearing a washed white jacket, with an excited expression on his face. His eyes kept looking around, as if this ordinary street was a dazzling place in London. The same as the commercial street.
"My God, Muggles are so amazing. Electric lights, cars... they don't rely on magic! How did they make these things?"
Arthur murmured to himself, and his expression attracted the attention of passers-by. This was the second time the people of Tinsgeta saw such a strange person.
He must be looking for Aaron Custer, right? Everyone made guesses.
Sure enough, Arthur walked towards the old Custer house on the hillside.
As he approached the front door of the mansion, it suddenly opened. A young gentleman stood inside the door. He had light blue eyes, slightly curly brown hair, a straight figure, and handsome appearance. You could tell at a glance that he was not an ordinary person.
"็ Hello Who are you?"
Aaron greeted the guests politely.
Arthur was stunned for a moment, wiped his hands on his clothes, and said seriously: "Hello, I am Arthur Weasley, an employee of the Ministry of Magic, working in the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Items."
"Ministry of Magic?"
Aaron raised his eyebrows and said with some doubts: "I didn't get such news: an official from the Ministry of Magic is coming to Humble House today."
"Yes, yes, this is a raid. The Ministry believes that this kind of operation does not need to let you know in advance."
Arthur was a little embarrassed, "Can you let me come in and talk?"
Aaron shrugged, "Okay - raid, I have to state first that there is indeed news about murderers running around in this area, but that has nothing to do with me."
With that said, he turned sideways and let Arthur enter the room.
"Oh, murderers and stuff are not our business - at least not my business." Arthur was very cautious when he walked in the door. He also leaned sideways like Aaron in order to keep the two of them facing each other.
He had learned this lesson before. When he was searching Mundungus' stronghold, he was almost attacked from behind by the cunning villain - Arthur thought he must have planned to recite a vicious curse at that time.
Aaron asked Arthur to sit down at the table, and he walked to the kitchen, turned on the coffee machine and pretended to operate it, and finally brought out two cups of instant coffee.
"Ah, a Muggle machine!" Arthur was frightened by Aaron's tricks. He took the coffee enthusiastically, only sipped it for a moment and couldn't help but admired: "It's amazing! How is this done? Such delicious coffee!”
"Besides this - shouldn't you tell me the reason for your visit first?" Aaron asked.
"Oh, it's like this. There are Muggle reactions. There are some unusual activities here, and the ministry knows about it." Arthur scratched his head and said: "You know, the ministry is conducting a large-scale search recently. You are so kind Wizards who live alone in a Muggle community are susceptible to suspicion, so they made sure I made a trip."
"That means the purpose of your coming here is to mess up my house, not to sit here and drink my coffee?" Aaron became more and more puzzled. He had dealt with idiots from the Ministry of Magic several times in the past. I have never seen such a kind and easy-to-talk person.
Damn it, if this continues, I will give the Ministry of Magic a good reputation!
