Chapter 78: The Felixir Can Also Be Blown Into the Bottle
"Professor, I was just young and ignorant just now." Aaron handed a cup of tea to Snape very sincerely, "Calm down first."
Snape raised his eyebrows, then took the hot tea, very satisfied with Aaron's behavior.
What is respecting teachers? This is it!
"Then professor, can you teach me how to make the Felicis this time?"
Puff!
Snape couldn't help but spit out the half-drunk tea, but Aaron seemed to have expected this scene. After handing over the tea, he took a small step to the right and avoided it perfectly.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible." Snape said seriously, "You just learned to walk and you want to run. No, this can no longer be described as running.
You haven't learned to run yet, but you want to fly.
You'd better give up this idea and learn to run first!"
"My past life experience tells me that nothing can be accomplished without greed." Aaron said confidently, "Besides, I am a Slytherin, isn't it normal to have such thoughts?"
"But the gap is too big. Do you know how difficult it is to prepare a bottle of Felix Felicis?
Even I can't guarantee 100% success, and your current success rate is less than 10%."
"What about your guidance?" Aaron asked unwillingly.
After tasting the sweetness of Felix Felicis, his desire for this potion has risen by several levels.
Buy? There is no market for it, and almost no one in the magic world will sell this treasure.
Ask my family for it? There are a few bottles in the treasure house, but I can't bring myself to do it.
Then I can only try to make it myself. It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. Only when they learn it can they make it themselves.
"Sometimes I really want to dig out your heart to see if it is really that big."
Aaron immediately took a step back, "Don't mess around!"
"Tsk! If I make it by myself, there is still a chance of success, but with you, I am afraid the success rate will be less than 50%.
You have a good talent, but you have practiced too little."
"Is it so low?"
"It's good that it's just low." Snape said speechlessly, "The materials for making the Felixir are very scarce, even I can't get them all."
"What materials are needed, I'll find a way."
Snape looked at him deeply, and then reported the materials he needed: unicorn horns, salamander eggs, volcano snake bird egg shells...
Aaron listened and wrote down these materials with pen and paper.
Half a minute later, he looked at the densely packed list in his hand, and a few black lines appeared on his forehead.
"How do you feel?" Snape asked playfully, "You should still be confident, right?"
Aaron pondered for a few seconds, "There is no problem getting these materials, but..."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Snape was also a little uneasy.
He has also wanted to prepare a bottle of Felix Felicis for emergency use in recent years, because he is the kind of person who dances on a tightrope.
It is not obvious now, but there will be danger of being crushed to pieces at any time in the future.
Different identities, the role of luck will not be the same.
For ordinary people, good luck is just like that, which can keep a good mood for a day.
But it is different for him, and it may change his fate at a critical moment.
"Can you really get these materials?"
"Yes, but not much.
There are at least three copies in my warehouse. I didn't know why these things were put together before, but now it seems that they are the materials for preparing Felix Felicis."
Snape's mouth twitched, big families are amazing.
But this is a bit too much! Some pure-blood families can't even have a complete set of materials.
"If I have the materials, I can prepare the Felixir.
Just give me a little reward after success.
Not much, just one tenth will do."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Aaron actually felt a hint of earnestness in Snape's voice.
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head, "Professor, I'm afraid that won't work."
"Then reduce it by half, one twentieth will be fine!"
"Uh...
Professor, you misunderstood.
If it's a finished product, I still have a few large bottles in stock at home, and if I blow from the bottle, it will be enough for a day."
Bang!
Snape slid down from the chair, not caring how embarrassed he looked. "Do you know what you are talking about?
I admit that there is no shortage of people in the magic world who can make this kind of potion, and some people have some stocks.
But it's a big joke to blow the bottle."
"I also think it's a bit exaggerated, but that's the fact." Aaron spread his hands, "But my father said that those lucky potions can only be used when needed."
"Let's not talk about this, let's talk about the materials first." Snape brought the topic back, patted the dust on his robe, sat back on the chair, and firmly put on his teacher's dignity.
"It's like this, what I want is not the finished product, but the ability to prepare the lucky potion.
But my error tolerance is only three times, and according to you, professor, even with your guidance, my success rate is less than 50%, so I'd better postpone it for a while.
At least when the success rate is more than 99%, I will configure it! "
Snape:......
Isn't this "a while" too abstract?
He might be able to accept a year or two, and he can persist for three to five years. If it's longer, he can only give up this road, after all, he may not have so much time.
"Ahem! Don't be discouraged, in fact, with your talent, you can make the first attempt within three years."
"Three years?" Aaron was stunned for a moment, "I thought it would take a year?"
"One, one year?" Snape didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Aaron, I still underestimated your ambition.
But people should not be too arrogant. It takes at least half a year to configure the Felixir, and there can be no mistakes in the process, especially some key steps, so..."
Before Snape finished speaking, Aaron put a small bottle on the table, "With this thing, we should be able to skip the so-called key steps! "This is..." Snape only looked at it for a second and then widened his eyes, "Felix Felicis, where did you get it from?" "That's not important, anyway, it's not bought." "Of course I know it's not bought.
What I want to ask is, can you sell it to me? The price is negotiable."
Swish!
Aaron took the Felix Felicis on the table without saying a word.
Don't even think about it, this thing is not for sale, especially now.
There is also a Dark Lord in the school who is eyeing him. He has no secret medicine to save his life, and he can't give up luck.
When Snape saw this scene, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"Professor, you are a master of potions, don't you have any stock left for yourself?" Aaron asked.
"I used it a long time ago and used it up at once.
The effect is very good, but the result is very poor. "Snape said sadly, "To be honest, I don't like to use Felix Felicis, because it's obviously unreliable to leave everything to luck.
But I have a hunch that I will need luck very much in the next period of time.
Let's not talk about this, don't think about Felix Felicis, it's not something you can grasp now.
It's better to be simpler, because you don't have enough time. "
"How about the tranquilizer?" Aaron chuckled.
"You can go to Madam Pomfrey." Snape said meaningfully, "She should have stock there."
"It's different. My things are mine, and the doctor's things are the doctor's."
Snape nodded, silently put his crucible on the table, and once again began to teach this proud student how to prepare a perfect potion.
A few hours later, Snape handed Aaron a bottle of tranquilizer, but he was politely rejected, "It's agreed that the finished product belongs to you."
"Take it! This is a reward from the teacher to the student. "Snape said, "I'd also like to remind you that your current level is just like this, and this bottle of potion cannot reach the best quality."
Aaron smiled awkwardly, "After all, it's my first time to prepare it, and I'm very satisfied to succeed."
"If you think so, you'll have to postpone the time to prepare the Felixir." Snape sneered.
"That's not necessarily true."
Aaron was full of confidence. As a person with a cheat, it would be a failure if he couldn't even create a miracle.
"By the way, Professor." Before leaving the office, Aaron suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked, "Professor Dumbledore is still in school, right?"
"I thought you forgot?
Is it interesting to ask it every day?
"No way, it's mainly because of a lack of security."
Snape rolled his eyes, "Then you asked in time, the Ministry of Magic sent a letter, and there is an urgent matter that needs him to deal with.
He left this morning and has been walking for several hours now. He will not be back until tomorrow afternoon at least. "
Huh!
Hearing this news, Aaron let out a long sigh, without showing any panic, just rubbing his forehead.
The storm is coming! But it will come sooner or later.
