Chapter 4114 4116 [Druid Transfiguration]

In the Potions class, the students began to learn how to extract dimethicone.

This is a very effective medicine for treating bruises and injuries. It is mainly extracted from Dictamni, and this requires the "maceration method" used in magic potions.

There are three techniques for making potions: decoction, brewing and infusion.

The decoction method is to put the herbs in a crucible and slowly boil them over fire. Magic potions such as the love potion, the felicity potion, the polyjuice potion, the sore removal potion, the spirit potion, the living hell potion, etc., all use the decoction method.

The brewing method is suitable for making some simple magic potions, such as mixing the water of life and death, which only requires mixing narcissus root powder and wormwood liquid. Using fecal stone to help people detoxify can also be soaked in water...

The maceration method mainly uses oil to extract the beneficial ingredients in the herbs. For example, the whole plant of Dictamni is soaked in almond oil to make Dictamni essence; the burn ointment is also made by soaking the herbs in sesame oil to extract; the detoxification agent made from Poso stone is soaked in saffron oil...

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

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

……

It was Thursday evening. Xiang Nan put on an invisibility cloak, quietly left the public lounge, and then walked 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 exceptionally bright.

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

Xiang Nan first covered his ears, then quietly stepped forward, plucked a handful of mandrake at lightning speed, and put it into his mouth.

According to the information he had found about Druid Transfiguration, he needed to put a handful of Mandrake grass into his mouth on a full-moon night. For the next month, the grass could not be spit out or swallowed, and naturally it could not be chewed.

This is something difficult for ordinary people to do.

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

Therefore, since ancient times, there have been very few people who have mastered the druid transformation technique. It is really difficult for ordinary wizards, and it is not easy to proceed to the first level.

Later, people simplified the steps of the Druid Transfiguration to just have the person hold a piece of Mandrake in their mouth. This is the method of practicing Animagus.

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

But for Xiang Nan, holding a handful of leaves in his mouth was no big deal.

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

Moreover, he can go without food or water for a month. Ordinary wizards can never do this, so they can't get past the first level of the Druid Transfiguration.

Xiang Nan then left the greenhouse, and after he left, the mandrake that had a handful of leaves pulled out began to scream in pain, waking up the other mandrakes and causing chaos in the entire greenhouse.

However, Xiang Nan had already left at this time, so he was not hurt by the cry of the Mandrake.

……

Xiang Nan then took out his flying broom and flew into the forbidden forest. He wanted to find a place without sunlight and few people to collect a silver teaspoon of dew. He saw that the trees in the forbidden forest were very lush and almost impenetrable. The seemingly quiet forbidden forest was actually very rich in species and became very active at night.

As far as Xiang Nan knows, there are centaurs, werewolves, thestrals, trolls, unicorns, moon monsters, eight-eyed spiders, bowtruckles, etc.

During the flight, Xiang Nan saw a group of werewolves attacking and biting each other under the light of the full moon. Their brutality was so shocking that Xiang Nan was 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 are dark magical 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 become werewolves from an early age, and being discriminated and excluded by the wizarding world from an early age.

In this way, when these little wizards grow up, they will naturally hate the wizarding world. 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 and help him fight against the Ministry of Magic. Remus Lupin also went undercover under his command.

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

However, the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts are not as brutal as Fenrir, and they have no intention of attacking the students of Hogwarts, so successive headmasters allowed them to survive in the Forbidden Forest.

Xiang Nan knew they did nothing evil, so he didn't provoke them. Otherwise, he really wanted to try the "absorption power" to see if he could absorb the werewolf's vitality.

……

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

The sun never shines in the shade, and no one comes. He marks the spot, and a week later he will take a small crystal bottle and a silver teaspoon of dew.

After making the mark, Xiang Nan quietly slipped back to Hogwarts.

In the following 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 Request to make medicine. His days were fulfilling and ordinary.

Meanwhile, the world outside was becoming increasingly chaotic and darker, and Voldemort's Death Eaters were still suppressing Muggle wizards.

They published articles in newspapers advocating "pure-blood supremacy" and falsely accused Muggle wizards of being thieves who stole the magic of pure-blood wizards. They advocated that no punishment would be excessive for these "despicable thieves" and used this to encourage violence.

They also advocated that the wizarding world should rule over the Muggle world, rather than hiding like rats in a burrow 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 were not pure-blood, were 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 were always friendly to Muggles, had a sense of superiority over Muggles in their bones, which was why Voldemort's ideas were so popular.

Therefore, Voldemort's power is still growing.
