Chapter 472 Sauerkraut Juice (Modified)
Allen, who left Nurmengard, looked at this huge and gloomy building standing on the hillside with a high roof and many cell windows from a distance, and his eyes were fixed on the highest point of the prison.
Gellert Grindelwald not only rejected Alan's offer to rescue him in return, but even refused Alan's offer of a new wand. He was only willing to accept some help that could continue to improve the quality of his prison life. Thinking that even if Dumbledore didn't die, Voldemort might still kill Grindelwald, who had no wand to protect himself and could only cast some simple magic, Allen couldn't help feeling a little sad.
When Allen appeared in the central square again, he saw Luna at a glance in the bustling crowd. She was standing in front of Dolce & Gabbana's store, looking at the sky in the distance, with her head tilted, light golden With her long hair hanging down her shoulders, she is holding the skirt in one hand, and her white figure is set against the verdant green screen with perfumed roses on her back.
"Hi, Alan," Luna said with her back to Alan, making various ingenious shapes with her slender fingers facing the sun.
Allen walked to Luna's side, and just raised his hand to say hello to Luna, Allen suddenly found that he had forgotten to restore his appearance.
Allen glanced at the inattentive Luna, and without turning around, she recognized herself who had taken the Polyjuice Potion.
"Let's go." Shaking his head and not caring anymore, Allen gently pulled Luna, then turned and walked towards the street intersection. Luna followed him with her hands behind her back, stepping on the footsteps of Allen just trampled on.
Allen's eyes were attracted by the scenery on both sides of the boulevard, and he noticed that the area he was in now, whether it was the brown stone building or the sculpture in the center of the square, was exactly the one in Grindelwald's painting. view.
However, with the passage of time, many vine leaves covered the walls, and many flowers bloomed around the house. Many unique shops on both sides of the road also changed their names and changed to other industries.
"This is not what he remembered." Allen thought as he glanced over the names of the shops one by one.
Allen suddenly realized that something was wrong. He couldn't hear Luna's footsteps, so he turned around quickly and found that Luna had been pulled away by him a lot. She was standing not far from the Muggle luxury store, which stopped when he looked back.
Allen looked at Luna who was looking at him, twitched the corners of his mouth, and showed a smile. He deliberately raised his voice: "The things have been obtained."
Luna looked at Allen as if covered in mist, and also smiled. Then he continued to walk a few steps towards Alan, but stopped again as Alan didn't notice his disappearing smile again.
She lowered her head, and the small leather shoes on her feet kicked the ground lightly, making a knocking sound.
Allen's attention was attracted by Luna again: "Luna?"
I saw Luna raised her head, blinked her eyes, and pulled out two improved H94 big dung eggs from her arms, and threw one directly into the middle of the pile of goods waiting to be moved on the street, and the high piles of goods were instantly scattered on the ground , those brand new clothes were scattered around, stained with brown and yellow, and the unique smell began to permeate the air; while another one was thrown into this luxury store, and the people inside didn't even have time to curse It is replaced by coughing and vomiting sounds.
"Run, hurry up." Luna yelled at Allen, and ran away quickly. Allen was slightly taken aback, and quickly ran in the direction Luna was running before the employees and customers in the store ran out.
Alan chased after Luna, and the two ran quickly along this exotic street.
Allen couldn't help but smile when he heard Luna's chuckle next to his ear. The feeling of running with all his strength made him feel light, and all the sadness and melancholy seemed to be thrown out of the sky.
"Call the police, that drunk with a red nose is catching that little girl!" A passerby on the other side of the road pointed at Alan and the two in surprise and shouted.
"Wait, don't call the police, the father and daughter are just playing around, right?
Didn't you see they were all laughing? "
"However, such an ugly man can give birth to such a beautiful daughter?" The passerby's voice was extremely disgusted.
Hearing the conversation in German among these passers-by, Allen laughed more flamboyantly and louder.
Around the corner of a tavern selling local beer, in a secluded alley, Allen removed the effect of the compound potion and restored his original appearance: "By the way, did someone bully you in that Muggle shop just now?"
"No, but I've seen them bullying people."
The two walked into the nearby tavern. Since they couldn't drink alcohol, they ordered the local specialty sauerkraut juice and cardamom cinnamon tea under the warm hospitality of the shop owner. Soon the boss brought a cup of dark green and a dark brown drink, and put them on the table in front of Alan and the others.
"Friendly reminder, don't forget to pinch your nose and hold your breath before drinking sauerkraut juice." The shop owner introduced in English with a heavy German accent, smiling cheerfully, "There is also cardamom cinnamon tea, pepper, cinnamon, and cardamom. Add a pinch of milk and that's a tea from the Himalayas, great memories, drink it and feel like you can read for 48 hours non-stop."
"Maybe Hermione would like cardamom cinnamon tea." Alan looked at the cup of dark brown liquid and sighed.
"Absolutely not." Hermione's voice sounded behind them. Hermione rushed to the tavern as soon as she received the news from Allen.
"I've got all of Grindelwald's spells and related projections, as well as some precious magical knowledge." Allen swallowed a big mouthful of sauerkraut juice, turned his head and almost spat it out, "Bah, it's worse than compound soup. It's hard to drink."
"What ingredients do you need for the compound decoction?" Luna said, taking a sip of the cardamom cinnamon tea.
"12 lacewings boiled for 21 days, 2/3 oz of sap grass picked at the full moon, 4 leeches with their mouthparts removed, powdered two-eared grass leaves, bicorn horn... dried African tree snake skin strips , the most important thing is what's on the person you want to change." Hermione, with a happy face, simply reported the herbs she needed, and she liked to answer this kind of questions.
"Then what is the meaning of these materials?" Luna continued to ask.
Hermione waved her hand to the store owner who wanted to come closer, indicating that there was no need to order, and then clearly explained the medicinal properties of the potion and medicinal materials needed for the compound soup.
"I mean what they mean, Hermione. My dad's Quibbler said in an episode that lacewings mean two things intertwined. What about the other herbs?"
Hermione's complacent expression was choked: "Isn't this something like flower language? School doesn't teach it, maybe the history of magic will mention it to some extent?" She had never delved so deeply into the meaning behind these medicinal materials.
"I do know a few, the two-eared grass, which has the meaning of connecting with another person; the skin of the African tree snake symbolizes the shed skin and the new skin, and even the pronunciation of the compound potion itself is similar to that in Greek mythology. A pair of twins, Polydeukes, have similar pronunciations, and they all have something to do with deformation..."
As he was talking, Allen suddenly stood up. In addition to the properties of the medicine, the medicinal materials of the potion can be analyzed layer by layer in this way. What about the casting process of the spell?
He remembered what Professor Flitwick said when he taught them the Levitation Charm in the first grade: Changing the pronunciation of the spell will bring unknown effects. An unlucky guy accidentally pronounced the "f" in the spell as an "s". As a result, the effect of the Levitating Charm became that he summoned a bison to stand on his chest.
So what is the nature of these spells and actions? He remembered that in the library of the Ravenclaw tower there were related books on the hidden meaning of these spells, but the records were very scattered and unsystematic. He hadn't done much research on this before, and his energy was too consumed in collecting and mastering New spells and combat exercises were introduced, ignoring the exploration of the essence of magic.
"Hey, sir, sauerkraut juice has a good laxative effect, but it shouldn't respond so quickly. The toilet is over there." The shop owner looked at Alan in surprise, and he was a little worried that the man who stood up suddenly Unexpected customers will have some indescribable accidents in his shop.
