Chapter 204: Holy Medicine for Healing Wounds
There was a little rustling movement from the big bed in the center of the room.
Xie Lin turned around and saw that Eleanor had sat up, leaning on the back of the bed, looking at Xie Lin motionlessly with her bright eyes open, with a faint smile hanging on the corner of her mouth. Although she was still pale, the unnatural flush that Sherrin had seen on her face had subsided.
"Are you awake?" Xie Lin looked at the embarrassed expression on her face and immediately realized that the beautiful woman had actually woken up a long time ago. She might have watched a good show just now. He said angrily: "We are facing a powerful enemy. You actually stood by and watched the whole process, so you weren't afraid that I would turn around and leave, leaving you to have a good conversation with Barbarossa alone?"
"People trust you!" Eleanor blinked, showing a sly smile, and said: "Besides, didn't you do this? It means I didn't misjudge you, ah -" She frowned slightly He frowned, rubbed his chest with his hand and said: "This big guy is really strong. Although it doesn't leave me powerless to fight back, the injuries I suffered are real, cough, cough -"
"Fortunately, his goal is not to kill me, but to weaken me with curses first, and then control me with the Imperius Curse to deal with you. If I were an ordinary person, he would probably have successfully stolen my soul..." Ellie Nuo showed a bright smile, "However, if he wants to use such a simple method to use the Imperius Curse on me, he underestimates the Hohenheim family -"
After saying that, she playfully revealed her white wrist and shook it. There was a bracelet engraved with soul protection runes hanging on it. Schelling understood that this was her trump card against the Imperius Curse.
Xie Lin can also make this kind of bracelet. Not to mention Daphne, Murray, and Astoria, Zhang Qiu, Luna, Susan, and the six newly conquered prefects all receive it from Xie Lin. Got one. These people can be regarded as his most trusted and core organizational cadres, and they must guard against any possibility of having their memories stolen and controlled by others. Of course, judging from the dense and intricate rune structure on Eleanor's bracelet, the bracelet she wears definitely surpasses Schelling's works in more than one way, both in terms of craftsmanship and protective performance. Half a point.
"Cough, cough—" Although Eleanor was just pretending to be controlled by the Imperius Curse, the injuries on her body were real, and they seemed to be serious.
"How are you? Do I need to take you to see a therapist?" Xie Lin asked with a frown.
"It's okay. He injured my lungs with the elemental spell. There is some water in the lungs, but it's not too difficult to deal with. You know my family heritage, right? All human organs and parts, no matter what kind of damage they are, I can make it regenerate despite the damage, it just takes a little time..." Eleanor said weakly.
The water in the lungs mentioned here is not the same thing as the water in the lungs in Muggle medicine.
The water accumulated in Eleanor's lungs is not actually water in the real sense, but the elemental power displayed in the form of "water". These elemental powers are accompanied by various characteristics of water - changeable, permeable, Erosion, flow, unrestrainedness, etc. are equivalent to a kind of chronic poison, slowly destroying her lungs. In a sense, Eleanor is right. The inheritance of the Hohenheim family is made from the human body. Under normal circumstances, she can indeed heal herself on her own, but her magic power is very weak in front of her. Obviously, she has not recovered from Barbarossa. recovered from the battle.
Eleanor refused Schelling's offer to take her to a therapist, simply because, in Schelling's opinion, she did not want to risk revealing the secrets of her constitution. Ms. Pomfrey of Hogwarts is not an ordinary therapist. She is also quite famous in the circle of therapists, and she really has a lot of tricks under her belt.
Xie Lin probably guessed her concerns, so he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "You'd better not be brave." After that, he took out a bottle of translucent purple potion from his arms and walked to Ellie. He stood beside Nuo's bed and handed it to her, "Here, take this -"
Eleanor was one of the best alchemists of the young generation in Europe. She had a good family background. Even Schelling, who had received guidance from Nico Flamel, did not dare to say that he could surpass her in the field of alchemy. She reached out and took it, without even asking what it was. She just opened the bottle cap and sniffed at the mouth of the bottle with her nose, then looked at Xie Lin with a very solemn expression.
"This is..." Although she had already guessed in her mind, the preciousness of this potion left her stunned. It was hard for her to believe that this was really the potion as she had guessed.
Eleanor pursed her lips and said softly: "Phoenix elixir?"
"Well," Xie Lin nodded with a smile, "It's an advantage for you. This medicine can directly restore you to your original state, and even increase your magic power -"
Eleanor opened her small mouth, but could not speak, and her eyes flickered uncertainly.
She was well aware of how precious the Phoenix Elixir was. It was a healing elixir refined from the tears of the Phoenix, and it was very difficult to refine. Even the best potion masters could refine this elixir. The success rate is only 30%, which is even lower than the Felixir. Xie Lin was able to gift such a precious potion to himself, which obviously shows one thing——
Such a precious potion is usually kept in your own hands for your own use, or for use by your closest people. Eleanor knew that although Schelling intended to form an alliance with her, the strength of the Hohenheim family was obviously not worth the huge price he had to invest. So, the greater possibility is that the Phoenix Elixir is not that rare to Xie Lin. Xie Lin may have mastered a certain method of refining the medicine, which can greatly increase the success rate of refining this medicine.
Although the second possibility sounds incredible, for an ancient potion formula with a long history, improving the success rate of refining the potion is the biggest problem shared by all potion masters in the world. The difficulty in the middle is Eleanor. Well aware. But if it happened to Schelling, it is not impossible considering his many miracles and achievements in the past.
There is another possibility——
There is a legendary energy crystal in alchemy that can save a person's life under any circumstances, and can even resist death caused by the invasion of time. This is the highest achievement in alchemy——
Philosopher's Stone.
According to Eleanor's understanding of the Philosopher's Stone, it is a crystal that collects life energy. The energy inside can stop and freeze the loss of life force. This is what Nicola Flamel used to make the "potion of immortality" principle. If it is used to match the healing effect of Phoenix Tears, it is indeed possible for the pharmacist to increase the success rate of making the "Phoenix Elixir".
However, according to the information announced by the Ministry of Magic of various countries and the European alchemist community, the Philosopher's Stone has been destroyed by Dumbledore, and Nico Flamel and his wife have also been buried. Could it be...
Eleanor's eyes shone shrewdly as the thoughts passed her by. After a long while, she looked directly into Xie Lin's eyes and said slowly: "It turns out that you have the magic stone in your hand. I knew that the old fox Nico Flamel would not let it go. However, the entire European alchemy community was saying The magic stone has been destroyed, and the rumors are really true——"
"Hmph, it seems that the rumors are really unbelievable -" Eleanor thought for a moment, looked at Sherrin and said: "However, I really didn't expect that Nico Flamel would pass it on to you. What’s the relationship with him?”
Xie Lin cast an appreciative look at Eleanor. Eleanor was able to deduce the fact that she owned the Philosopher's Stone from just a bottle of potion. This scheming was indeed extraordinary. He probably understood what Eleanor meant. He said calmly: "Mr. Flamel can be regarded as half of my teacher. He taught me the alchemy notes he studied in his early days. In the early years, when he was still alive, I also received some guidance from him. "
Eleanor's eyes began to grow hot when she looked at Xie Lin, and she said softly: "Besides, did you get other things from him, such as... a book?"
