Chapter 472 Pickled Cabbage Juice (Modified)
After leaving Nurmengard, Allen looked at this huge and gloomy building standing on the hillside from a distance, with a high roof and many cell windows, and his eyes were fixed on the highest point of the prison.
Gellert Grindelwald not only rejected Allen's offer to rescue him in return, but even refused Allen's offer of a new wand, and he only accepted help that could continue to improve the quality of his prison life. Allen couldn't help but feel sad when he thought 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.
When Allen appeared in the central square again, among the bustling crowd, he saw Luna at a glance. She was standing in front of Dolce & Gabbana's store, looking at the sky in the distance, her head tilted, light golden Her long hair fell down her shoulders, and she held the hem of her skirt in one hand. Her white figure was set off by a verdant green barrier decorated with perfumed roses behind her.
"Hi, Allen," Luna turned her back to Allen, and her slender fingers made various clever shapes towards the sun.
Allen walked to Luna and just raised his hand to say hello to Luna. Allen suddenly realized that he had forgotten to restore his appearance.
Allen glanced at Luna who was careless. Without turning around, she could recognize herself after taking Polyjuice Potion.
"Let's go." Allen shook his head and didn't care anymore, gently pulled Luna, then turned and walked towards the street. Luna followed him with her hands behind her back, stepping on the steps that Allen had just made with every step. A trodden place.
Allen's eyes were attracted by the scenery on both sides of the boulevard. 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 area in Grindelwald's painting. view.
However, as time passed, 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 switched to other industries.
"This is no longer the way he remembers it." Allen thought as his eyes slid over the names of the shops one by one.
Allen suddenly realized something was wrong. He couldn't hear Luna's footsteps. He quickly turned around and found that Luna had been separated by a lot of distance from him. She stopped when he looked back and was standing not far from the Muggle luxury store.
Allen looked at Luna who was looking at him, twitched the corner of his mouth, showed a smile, and deliberately raised his voice: "We have got the things."
Luna looked at Allen with eyes that seemed to be covered by mist, and also smiled. Then he continued to take a few steps towards Allen, but stopped again as Allen failed to notice that his smile disappeared again.
She lowered her head, and the small leather shoes on her feet lightly kicked the ground, making a thumping sound.
Allen's attention was drawn to Luna again: "Luna?"
I saw Luna raised her head and blinked, took out two H94 improved versions of the big dung eggs from her arms, and threw one directly into the pile of goods waiting to be moved on the street. The high-stacked goods were instantly scattered all over the place. , those brand-new clothes were scattered everywhere, stained with brown and yellow, and the unique smell began to permeate the air; and another one was thrown into this luxury store, and the people inside didn't even have time to curse. The sound was replaced by coughing and gagging sounds.
"Run, hurry up." Luna shouted to Allen, and ran away quickly. Allen was slightly stunned, and quickly ran in the direction of Luna before the store employees and customers ran out.
Allen chased behind Luna, and the two of them ran quickly along the exotic street.
Allen couldn't help but smile when he heard Luna's chuckle in his ears. The feeling of running with all his strength made his whole body feel light, and all the sadness and melancholy seemed to be thrown away.
"Call the police quickly, that red-nosed drunkard is arresting that little girl!" Pedestrians on the other side of the road pointed at Allen and the two in surprise and shouted.
"Wait, there's no need to call the police. It's just the father and daughter playing around. Didn't you see they were both laughing?"
"But how can such an ugly man give birth to such a beautiful daughter?" The passerby's voice sounded particularly disgusting.
Hearing the conversations in German between these passers-by, Allen smiled more openly and laughed louder.
After bypassing a tavern on the corner that specializes in local beer, in a secluded alley, Allen removed the effect of the compound potion and returned to his original appearance: "By the way, someone bullied you in that Muggle store just now?"
"No, but I saw them bullying people."
The two of them walked into the nearby tavern. Since they couldn't drink, they ordered the local specialty sauerkraut juice and cardamom cinnamon tea under the warm hospitality of the owner. Soon the boss brought a cup of dark green and a cup of dark brown drinks and placed them on the table in front of Allen and the others.
"Friendly reminder, don't forget to hold your nose and hold your breath before drinking sauerkraut juice." The shop owner introduced in English with a strong German accent, smiling cheerfully, "There is also cardamom and cinnamon tea, with pepper, cinnamon and cardamom. Add a small amount of milk, and this is tea from the Himalayas, a wonderful memory, and after drinking it you will feel like you can read for 48 hours without interruption."
"Maybe Hermione would like cardamom and cinnamon tea." Allen 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 Alan.
"I have obtained all of Grindelwald's spells and related projections, as well as some precious magical knowledge." Allen swallowed a big mouthful of pickled cabbage juice, turned his head and almost vomited it out, "Bah, it's even better than Polyjuice Potion. It tastes bad."
"What ingredients are needed for polyjuice potion?" Luna said as she took a sip of cardamom and cinnamon tea.
"12 lacewings that have been cooked for 21 days, 2/3 ounces of sapweed picked at the full moon, 4 leeches with their mouthparts removed, amphorae leaf powder, two-horned horns... dried African tree snake skin strips , the most important thing is what is in the person you want to change." With a happy face, Hermione simply reported the herbs she needed. She liked answering such questions.
"Then what do these materials mean?" Luna then asked.
Hermione waved her hand to the shop owner who wanted to come closer, indicating that she didn't need to order, and then clearly explained the properties of the potion ingredients needed for the polyjuice potion. UU reading www.uukanshu.net
"I'm talking about their meaning, Hermione. My father's Quibbler once said that lacewings have the meaning of interweaving two qualities. What about other medicinal herbs?"
Hermione's complacent expression was choked: "Isn't this something like the language of flowers? Schools don't teach this. Maybe the history of magic will mention something?" She had never delved so deeply into the meaning behind these medicinal materials.
"I do know a few. The two-eared grass has the meaning of being connected to another person; the skin of the African tree snake symbolizes the shed skin and the new skin. Even the pronunciation of the compound potion itself is similar to that of the Greek mythology. The pronunciation of twins Polydeuces is similar, so it has something to do with deformation..."
As he spoke, Allen suddenly stood up. In addition to the medicinal properties, the medicinal ingredients of the potion can also be analyzed layer by layer. So what about the process of casting 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 would bring unknown effects. One unlucky guy accidentally pronounced the pronunciation of "f" in the spell instead of "s". As a result, the effect of the floating spell was that he summoned a bison to stand on his chest.
So what is the nature of these spells and actions? He remembered that there were books in the Ravenclaw Tower library that explored the hidden meanings of these spells, but the records were very scattered and unsystematic. He had not done much research on this before, and his energy was too consumed in collecting and mastering it. New spells and combat exercises were introduced, but the exploration of the nature of magic was neglected.
"Hey, sir, pickled cabbage juice has a very good laxative effect, but it shouldn't react so quickly. The toilet is right over there." The shop owner looked at Allen in surprise. He was a little worried about this sudden stand up. Inexplicable accidents will happen to the customers in his store.
