Chapter 974
Although everyone wants to brew an elixir of life.
But most of the students felt very powerless, their eyes were darkened, and they looked at the textbooks in a daze.
It's not that the brewing process of the elixir of life is too complicated, but too simple and not simple.
Let's talk about simplicity, and there are five full pages of content.
It is not simple, but it is extremely jumpy and lacks a lot of trivial intermediate steps.
It's like a proof question, it quotes various theorems throughout, but those theorems... you really don't understand at all.
But in fact, the intermediate processing process of those materials has been learned in the past six years.
It's just that many people lose it after learning it. How can they remember it or even master it.
There are also some processes, the author is even more trouble-free, and directly wrote on the side:
"I have a wonderful process here, but the blank here is too small, please read xx."
Read your sister!
So in the bewilderment of everyone, only William has already started cooking.
He didn't open the textbook at all, he had cooked it many times, and kept all the steps in mind.
The last Philosopher's Stone was indeed almost out of magic power.
William has also done a lot of preparatory work, and will make the first Philosopher's Stone this Christmas.
So of course he is very skilled in the subsequent brewing process of the elixir.
When most of the students were at their wits end, the whole class turned into a one-man show for William.
At the beginning, some people wanted to write down the whole process, or follow him step by step.
However, William's hand speed was so fast that many little wizards were wondering:
"We have been single-player for 17 years, and have practiced a lot of frequent handicrafts. Isn't it as fast as your daily online hand?"
It's not as good!
William can cut out flowers just by cutting and biting the cabbage. Not only is the speed fast, but each one is exactly the same size.
It's like shredding potatoes.
After everything was put into the crucible, William snapped his fingers to stir it automatically, and the whole crucible exuded a mellow fragrance.
There is also a shining light in the crucible.
I don't know, I thought it was the live-action filming scene of the Chinese Xiaodangjia.
"It couldn't be better." Slughorn was not stingy with his compliments.
"Even if it's me, I probably can't do it so perfectly. And I'm old, and my hand speed can't keep up. I'm definitely not as fast as you."
He didn't believe that this was the first time that William made the elixir of life, and it seemed that he had helped Nicole a lot.
Slughorn's 50-year lifespan fell into William's hands.
William was undoubtedly rewarded, so after class, Slughorn wandered over and handed him a small purple bottle.
While giving the future water, he asked:
"William, are you free this week? I have prepared a party, come and have fun. I can introduce you to many friends."
Compared with the coyness of "Are you there?", the old man directly went straight to the point, which was more than one level higher.
After putting the potion in the safety watch, William looked like a goddess receiving a gift, and continued to raise the spare tire.
He hesitated for a moment, then found an excuse, and declined:
"I don't think there is time, Professor. I need to organize Ravenclaw House and conduct Quidditch selection. I am the captain."
Of course, Slughorn refused to be let go like this. He continued to test:
"I've thought about it, so the party is on the weekend, in the evening. I know, you'll be free then."
"Yes, that is indeed possible..." William seemed to be about to agree.
But at this time, it's time for a good girlfriend to show up.
Sure enough, Qiu at the side suddenly said seriously:
"William, you have to take the players, observe other teams, and discuss the training plan with us at night.
Don't forget, our goal is four consecutive championships! "
William silently gave Qiu a thumbs up.
This is like a good girlfriend who calls at any time during a blind date and says that the gas stove at home is not turned off.
"Professor, you see, I may really not have time." William refused again.
Slughorn was disappointed. "Oh, four consecutive championships, of course it is very important."
"Then can Hermione come..."
"Hermione doesn't have time either. You know, she's a trainee assistant to the Minister and has to go to Minister Burns." William lowered his voice.
"The ministry has been very busy recently... haven't you heard?"
Sure enough, Slughorn was aroused. "Is there anything important?"
"I'll only tell you one thing, don't tell anyone else." William glanced around and whispered.
Slughorn hastily promised secrecy.
William coughed and said, "It's like this. The Ministry has decided to attack the black market that monopolizes supplies at will, drives up prices, and disrupts the market."
With the outbreak of the war and the attacks of the Death Eaters, prices continued to soar.
Many pure-blood families are hoarding a large amount of goods, preparing to make war fortune.
For this situation, the Ministry of Magic must deal with it.
"Who is the target this time?" Slughorn asked curiously.
"It's the Flint family." William said softly: "Their family stockpiled a lot of medicines, causing a shortage of medicines.
They also want to engage in monopoly, and then learn from Gringotts to lend money. "
"The Ministry of Magic will announce tonight that it has decided to fine their family 18.2 Galleons."
Slughorn froze. It was an exorbitant fine.
Even an old pure-blood family can't spend so much money all at once.
Taking advantage of Slughorn's shock, William hurriedly left with Cho and managed to get rid of him.
On the way back, Qiu shook his head and said, "William, Professor Slughorn will invite you again, you can't hide."
William whistled and said with a smile, "Let's talk about it when the time comes, I'll definitely find an excuse anyway."
……
……
Telling Slughorn such important news, William was not worried that he would leak it.
Because this is the news that will be announced in the afternoon.
In fact, it was only a few hours before the Daily Prophet published the news.
The Ministry of Magic also gave out a lot of details, such as the abuse of market dominance by the Sterling family to maintain and enhance their own market power and gain unfair competitive advantages.
As soon as this incident came out, it naturally caused a great sensation.
Especially when dealing with a pure-blood family this time.
Those ordinary wizards have long been waiting for the Ministry of Magic to start killing pigs.
But before everyone was happy for too long, another news broke out.
That's what happened when the Hogwarts Express was attacked.
The Ministry of Magic hid it for a week, and finally announced it.
The "Daily Prophet" also described the whole incident in detail, emphasizing that William would prevent the attack.
But the parents of the students fell into uneasiness and panic.
If this kind of thing can happen once, there may be a second time.
It was only the next morning that various letters arrived.
Most people have more email than usual.Worried parents are desperate for news of their children, who in turn tell their children that everything is fine at home.
William had also received letters, from Venice.
Lyanna asked him to take care of Anne and Hermione.
With the outbreak of this wave of letter writing, the haze of war finally quietly appeared in the school.
The parents of Indian twins Patil want to take them home.
Before leaving, Patil's parents found William and wanted to talk business with him.
They knew that Akali's mysterious store had monopolized the market, and they also knew that because of the war, the prices here had skyrocketed.
They felt that there was a wave of opportunities to make war fortunes, and they hoped to send the potions from India to Britain for sale.
It is said that it can cure all diseases and lift any curse...
William asked about the recipe, and he refused when he heard that it contained cow urine and Ganges water.
He also sincerely suggested to the other party:
It can be sold to New York, where it is rebuilding after the disaster, and this kind of "treasure" is even more needed.
