save the bachelors

Chapter 4061 4063 [Gathering Materials]

Seeing this, the vampire shop owner breathed a sigh of relief.

Because Xiang Nan only modified their memories and did not kill them, it is obvious that he is not a cold-blooded murderer.

In this way, its life may be saved.

It then took Xiang Nan to the real blood warehouse and took out a can of bright red, hot blood from the shelf.

The blood was extremely bright red and emitted a fiery energy that could be clearly felt from two feet away.

Xiang Nan knew that this was the blood of the Chinese Fire Dragon, which contained powerful energy and had always been an important material for Middle-earth wizards to make elixirs and refine weapons.

He had read the Prince family's collection of books, which introduced various alchemical materials, so he was able to distinguish the real from the fake.

Xiang Nan then took out fifty Galleons and handed them to the owner.

  "No, I don't want money." Seeing this, the vampire shop owner waved his hand. If Xiang Nan could spare its life, it would be satisfied. How could it dare to ask him for money?

"Let's put it this way. I don't like to owe others anything." Xiang Nan said, stuffing fifty Galleons into the shopkeeper's hand, then took out his wand and pointed it at him, "Oblivion!"

The vampire shop owner fell into a trance, and when he came to his senses again, Xiang Nan had disappeared without a trace.

……

After getting the Chinese Fire Dragon Blood, Xiang Nan left Knockturn Alley and then came to the second-hand shop in Diagon Alley, ready to find a few more valuable old books.

The "True Explanation of the Five Elements Taoism" he found here last time was a Taoist treasure book of extremely high value, so he wanted to try his luck again this time.

But apparently his luck was not very good this time. He spent most of the day looking through all the old books, but he did not find any treasure book like "The True Explanation of the Five Elements Taoism". He only found five books related to herbology, wandology, potions, divination, and spells.

For example, "Herbs Hidden Deep Underground", "Making and Maintaining Magic Wands", "How to Raise Common Magical Animals", "One Hundred Practical Spells for Home Use", etc.

The most valuable book is called "The Banshee's Guide to Magical Potions". This is a manuscript that records the methods of making many advanced magic potions.

For example, the invisibility potion can make a person invisible; a small drop of the sleeping potion can make giant beasts such as mountain monsters and giants fall asleep; the dragon power potion can make a person have the strength of a dragon for a short period of time; the speed potion can make a person a sprinter and run at least five kilometers at a speed close to the speed of sound...

Although the book does not specify the original author, Xiang Nan suspects that this book is most likely written by Leticia Somnolen.

Leticia Somnolen was a medieval enchantress who, jealous of the beauty of the local king's daughter, smeared a potion of living hell on a spindle.

She lured the young princess to touch a spindle, which put her into a long sleep. However, Somnoren's plan was unsuccessful, as a wizard smeared a stimulating potion on his lips and kissed the princess, waking her up.

This is also the origin of the fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty". Later, Leticia Somnolen appeared on the "Chocolate Frog Cards" because of this incident.

The reason why Xiang Nan made such a guess was because the first potion remembered in this book "Banshee's Guide to Potions" was the Living Hell Potion.

……

Xiang Nan then paid for the five books.

"Ten Galleons," the shopkeeper said directly.

Xiang Nan did not bargain with him this time, but instead handed over thirteen Galleons.

"Huh?" The shop owner was stunned. Xiang Nan smiled and turned away.

Last time, he used hypnosis to make the shopkeeper charge him three Galleons less. Now he was given three more Galleons, which was considered as paying off the previous debt.

After leaving the junk shop, Xiang Nan looked for an opportunity to change back into himself, followed the fireplace in Diagon Alley, and returned to his home in Spinner's Tail.

"Severus, why did you come back just now? I was so worried about you." Seeing her son return, Irene couldn't help but complain.

Xiang Nan was startled and looked at the time, only to realize that five hours had passed.

It turned out that it didn't take him too long to exchange coins at Gringotts or buy dragon's blood at Knockturn Alley, but browsing books at the junk shop took him several hours.

"I'm sorry, Mom, I was wrong." Xiang Nan apologized quickly.

"It's good that you know you're wrong." Irene touched his head. "I'm not worried about other places, but Diagon Alley is next to Knockturn Alley. I'm worried that you will be abducted by the dark wizards there."

Knockturn Alley is a gathering place for dark wizards who like to abduct young wizards and use them for cruel magical experiments or sell them to people in need.

Because wizards, like centaurs, unicorns, phoenixes, giants, goblins, etc., are all magical creatures. Therefore, their bones, blood, brains, internal organs, and even souls are all very good materials for casting spells.

The Hand of Glory, shrunken heads and dried skulls sold in Borgin and Burke's may all have tainted origins. After all, it is hard to imagine that before a person dies, they would take the initiative to sign a body donation form and let their bodies become materials for wizards to cast spells.

"Thank you, Mom. I will never do that again." Xiang Nan nodded, feeling a little touched.

Irene Prince was gloomy and not good at talking, and she rarely showed tenderness even to her own son. That was why Snape became so gloomy, cold, and withdrawn when he grew up.

Xiang Nan also disliked Irene Prince and Tobias Snape because of this. He clearly knew how to help his family get rich and solve the family's financial crisis, but he never said a word.

But now, Xiang Nan couldn't help but change his opinion of Irene after realizing that behind Irene's coldness, there was actually a passionate heart.

……

In the next few days, Xiang Nan taught Lily magic during the day and secretly refined the flying sword at night.

He has already prepared all the materials needed for sword practice, including mercury, refined gold, feldspar, wind-milled copper, fire dragon blood, ice spring water, and a little black iron.

Xiang Nan was ready to contribute his own black iron kitchen knife.

This black iron kitchen knife is made of black iron. It can cut through hair instantly and chop iron like mud. He got it from Li Dazui in the world of "Wulin Wai Zhuan".

After he got the knife, he didn't use it much. After all, with his strength, he didn't need to use weapons in many worlds. And although the black iron kitchen knife was made of black iron and was extremely sharp, it was just a kitchen knife after all, and was not very suitable for fighting.

So it was almost like a chicken rib to Xiang Nan, useless to hold and a pity to throw away. Now it happened that he needed black iron to refine the flying sword, so this kitchen knife came in handy.

However, refining a flying sword is not an easy task. It is necessary to draw talismans and engrave formations on the sword. If you make a mistake, you have to start all over again.

So Xiang Nan became a hundred and twenty times more careful.

Fortunately, he had a photographic memory and was able to remember those complicated talismans and formations. He was also an excellent painter and carver, and was dexterous, so he was able to accomplish this task.
