Chapter 4114 4116 [Druid Transfiguration]

In the potion class, students began to learn how to extract Dictamni.

This is a very effective potion for treating injuries and sprains. It is mainly extracted from Dictamni, and this requires the "immersion method" in potions.

There are three techniques for making potions, namely decoction, brewing and immersion.

The decoction method is to put the herbs in a crucible and slowly boil them with fire. Potions such as love potions, blessing potions, compound decoctions, sore removal potions, refreshing potions, and living hell decoctions all use the decoction method.

The brewing method is suitable for making some simple potions, such as preparing life and death water, which only requires mixing narcissus root powder and wormwood liquid. Using fecal stones to help people detoxify, you can also soak in water...

The immersion method mainly uses oils to extract the beneficial ingredients in herbs. For example, the white radish essence is made by soaking the whole white radish in almond oil; the burn ointment is also made by soaking the herbs in sesame oil for extraction; the antidote made with the saffron stone is made by soaking it in saffron oil...

Xiang Nan and other freshmen have already learned the decoction method, so now it is time to learn the "immersion method", which is also a novel experience for them.

And Xiang Nan also earned another ten points for Ravenclaw because of his skillful operation and standard process.

...

The time came to Thursday. At night, Xiang Nan put on the invisible cloak, quietly left the public lounge, and then went all the way to the greenhouse outside the castle.

At this time, the full moon was hanging high in the sky, and the moonlight was extremely bright.

Xiang Nan sneaked into the third greenhouse, where there were pots of mandrakes, sleeping soundly under the moonlight.

Xiang Nan first blocked his ears, then quietly stepped forward, and with the momentum of lightning, he plucked a handful of mandrakes and put them in his mouth.

According to the information he found about Druid Transfiguration, he needs to hold a handful of Mandrake in his mouth on a full moon night. For the next month, these grasses must not be spit out or swallowed, and naturally they cannot be chewed.

This is very difficult for ordinary people to do.

Because it feels very awkward to hold a handful of grass leaves in your mouth. And it is also difficult not to be bitten when eating or talking. When sleeping, it is inevitable to swallow them.

Therefore, there are very few people who have mastered Druid Transfiguration since ancient times. It is really difficult for ordinary wizards, and it is not easy to proceed with the first level.

So later people simplified the steps of Druid Transfiguration and only asked people to hold a piece of Mandrake in their mouths. This is the practice of Animagus.

But because of this, Animagus can only change into one form, unlike Druid Transfiguration, which can change into many forms.

But for Xiang Nan, holding a handful of leaves in his mouth is not a problem at all.

Because he is a top martial arts master, any muscle in his body can be controlled at will, and he will never swallow or chew the leaves.

Moreover, he could go without food or water for a month. Ordinary wizards could never do this, so they could not pass the first level to master the druid transformation.

Xiang Nan then left the greenhouse, and after he left, the mandrake whose leaves were pulled away began to scream in pain, and then woke up the other mandrakes, causing chaos in the greenhouse.

However, Xiang Nan had already left at this time, so he was not hurt by the mandrake's cry.

...

Xiang Nan then took out his flying broom and flew into the forbidden forest. He wanted to find a place where there was no sunlight and few people to collect a silver teaspoon of dew.

The trees in the forbidden forest were very lush and almost impenetrable. The seemingly quiet forbidden forest was actually very rich in species, and it became very active at night.

As far as Xiang Nan knew, there were centaurs, werewolves, thestrals, trolls, unicorns, moon idiots, eight-eyed spiders, and bowtruckles.

During the flight, Xiang Nan saw a group of werewolves attacking and biting each other under the moonlight of the full moon. The ferocity made Xiang Nan a little shocked.

It is worth mentioning that the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts are different from Remus Lupin. They are pure-blooded werewolves and dark magic creatures.

They can bite wizards and turn them into werewolves.

For example, the werewolf leader Fenrir Greyback likes to do this. It also likes to bite young wizards, making them werewolves since childhood, and being discriminated and excluded by the wizarding world from childhood to adulthood.

In this way, these young wizards will naturally hate the wizarding world when they grow up. At that time, it will recruit them into its ranks and form a large and powerful army.

During the Second Wizarding War, Fenrir Greyback led the werewolf tribe to join Voldemort's organization to help him fight against the Ministry of Magic. Remus Lupin also went undercover under its command.

Although Fenrir and other werewolves chose to be loyal to Voldemort, and they were amazing in combat, they were still looked down upon by the Death Eaters and were called "dirty scavengers".

However, the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts were not as brutal as Fenrir, and they did not want to attack the students of Hogwarts, so the successive headmasters allowed them to survive in the Forbidden Forest.

Xiang Nan knew that they did not do evil, so he did not provoke them. Otherwise, he really wanted to try, "absorption power", whether he could absorb the vitality of the werewolves.

...

Xiang Nan rode a flying broom through the Forbidden Forest and came to the shade of the mountains, and found a quiet, desolate and humid place in the dense forest.

The shaded area never sees the sun all year round, and no one will come. He made a mark there, and a week later, he will take a small crystal bottle and take a silver teaspoon of dew.

After making the mark, Xiang Nan sneaked back to Hogwarts.

In the next few days, he behaved very normally. He actively answered questions in class, borrowed books from the library after class, and then went to the Room of Requirement to make medicine. His life was fulfilling and dull.

At this time, the outside world was becoming more and more chaotic and darker. Voldemort's Death Eater organization was still suppressing Muggle wizards.

They published articles in newspapers, advocating "pure blood supremacy", accusing Muggle wizards of being thieves and stealing the magic of pure-blood wizards, because they advocated that any punishment for these "despicable thieves" would not be excessive, and used this to advocate violence.

They also advocated that the wizard world should rule the Muggle world, instead of hiding like rats in a hole under the constraints of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy.

Their initiative won the support of many pure-blood families and many "wizard supremacists". Therefore, many wizards, even those who are not pure-blood, are willing to join him and work for him.

For example, Severus Snape in the original version chose to be loyal to Voldemort because he hated Muggles and advocated "wizard supremacy".

In fact, in the wizarding world, there are many people who believe in "wizard supremacy" and despise Muggles.

Even Arthur Weasley and Albus Dumbledore, who have always been friendly to Muggles, have a sense of superiority over Muggles in their bones, so Voldemort's proposal is so popular.

Therefore, Voldemort's power is still growing.
