Mixed With Marvel's Hogwarts Professor

Chapter 353 The Essence of Potion, Snape's Shock

"In your eyes, what is the essence of potions??"

Snape looked at Vera, Ian and the others, and asked slowly.

As for Snape's question, Wanda had never had any contact with it, so she was a little dazed.

And Ian, Vera, Remy and the other three had attended the Potions class taught by Professor Snape, but their contact with Potions was not in-depth, so they didn't answer immediately, they were all thinking over and over again.

They are not in the habit of talking big.

Rigorous—this was the first lesson taught to them by their tutor Lockhart.

Seeing that the three of them had thought about it, Snape was not in a hurry.

He is quite satisfied with the quality of Lockhart's group of students.

If it is the group of little necromancers, they either dare not say anything, or just say hello casually.

Well, maybe this is the difference between being beaten by society and not being beaten.

Ian pondered for a moment, then said calmly: "Professor Snape, under your guidance, I have refined some euphoria potions and other preliminary potions."

"I personally feel that the essence of potions should be the collision of materials, so that magical materials can produce strange changes with each other, and finally produce potions with different effects."

Snape neither nodded nor shook his head at Ian's answer, but put it on Vera.

Vera's female identity, coupled with her excellent potion ability, reminded him of an old friend, so he naturally had some preferences in his heart.

Seeing that the professor turned his attention to herself, Vera also began to express her point of view.

"Professor, I agree with part of Ian's point of view. The change of materials is the key to potion refining."

"However, I personally think that will and emotion play an important role in it."

Speaking of which, Vera cited a case and explained: "Professor, didn't you ask us to refine the euphoria before? I have experimented."

"If I refine the euphoria potion very calmly, I find that the probability of success becomes very small, and the quality is also very low. I even deliberately control my sadness, anger and other negative emotions to refine it, but I find that it has side effects, or even fails directly."

"I can only refine the euphoria potion with the method taught to you, with joy and joy."

"So I think that material may be a deeper medium, and our will and emotion are the key."

Hearing Vera's explanation, Snape's eyes lit up.

As expected of the genius he was optimistic about, he had already started experimenting with potions without mentioning anything. Although his views were somewhat biased, he was on the right track.

Then Snape turned his attention to Remy.

Feeling Snape's eyes, Remy seemed to be carrying a weight of ten thousand catties on his shoulders, and the pressure was enormous.

Who told him that his ability is mediocre, he wants to learn about potions, but he really can't get in.

at last.

"me too!"

Seeing that Snape's face turned dark, Remy quickly added: "Professor Vera is right. I share the same opinion as Vader. Emotions are very important. Yes, emotions are very important in refining potions."

snort!

Snape snorted coldly, as if seeing those ignorant little necromancers.

Turning directly to Wanda on the side, he asked, "Wanda, you haven't touched Potions yet."

"But I also want to hear your opinion on potions."

"Ah!" Wanda was a little dazed by Snape's question, but also noticed that Snape was not happy with Remy's uninitiated answer.

After thinking for a while, he said cautiously: "Professor Snape, I just saw this potion. You and my brother drank it."

"It felt like magic was being cast."

"I personally feel that this potion is just like magic."

As soon as Wanda finished speaking, she realized that Snape's sharp gaze was staring at him all of a sudden, which made her a little uneasy.

Just when she thought she had said something wrong, she realized that Snape's gaze softened a lot.

This made Wanda feel relieved.

Immediately afterwards, Snape was heard to speak.

"I'm quite relieved to hear the answers from the three of you."

Well, this ignorant Remy is automatically ruled out.

Then, Snape began to praise the reviews one by one.

"Ian, although your potion ability is not top-notch, it is still very good."

Then, he said meaningfully: "In the future, if you have the opportunity, you can study more potions, which will be of great help to you."

Hearing Snape's compliment, Ian nodded with a gleam of joy on his face.

Then quickly retracted, and said calmly: "Okay, I understand, professor."

Seeing Ian's performance, Lockhart nodded in satisfaction. He still prefers calm children.

If he was less extreme in the past, maybe the future will be more like this.

Then, he said to Vera: "Vera, your potion ability is very good, don't waste your ability."

"If you have any questions about potions in the future, you can come to me directly."

For Professor Snape's undisguised preference, Vera smiled with eyes crooked like the moon, very happy.

On the other hand, Remy bowed his head in embarrassment.

He was somewhat self-aware, and Snape didn't like him very much.

Sure enough, with a cold face, Snape glanced directly at Remy and looked at Wanda.

But for Wanda's evaluation, Snape didn't say it outright, but pondered for a while, before saying: "Wanda, I know that Lockhart still thinks highly of you."

"I hope you will not disappoint Lockhart's care for you."

"Although you haven't touched potions, I really like your answer just now."

At the end, he paused, as if he had some hesitation, and continued to make his promise.

"When you first started refining potions, read more books. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Hearing this, Wanda was a little surprised.

Then Snape, looking at the four people in front of him, seemed to be a little emotional: "Actually, there is a very typical case in the necromancer world, but few necromancers know about it."

"Dumbledore, everyone knows that he is very powerful. He once defeated the first and second generation Dark Lords, but many people have forgotten that he is also a top potion master."

"Among his series of achievements, he has discovered 12 uses of dragon's blood at the forefront."

Hearing this, Wanda was still a little confused, but Ian and the three of them began to look serious.

Without waiting for Ian and others to ask questions, Snape said again: "As for the first generation of Dark Lord Grindelwald, it's been a long time ago, and you may have forgotten it."

"However, he was also a top potion master back then, but he was overshadowed by his name as the Dark Lord."

"Similarly, there is Voldemort, the second-generation Dark Lord. His attainments in the field of potions are not low, especially in the field of dark potions, and he can be called the top in the world."

Hearing this, the three of Ian seemed to understand something, but they didn't fully understand it.

Immediately afterwards, Snape continued: "Although Wanda hasn't touched potions yet, I really like Wanda's answer just now."

"The essence of potions is another form of spell."

Hearing this, the heads of Ian and Vera seemed to have been hammered heavily, and they became a little dazed, as if they conflicted with their cognition.

As for Remy, his eyes lighted up quietly, and he seemed to understand some key points, but he seemed to understand some key points.

He doesn't understand potions, but he is quite capable in this aspect of spells.

Among the three, he dared to be the first, and no one dared to be the second.

"If you look at the history of necromancer spellcasting, you will find that in the early days, necromancers mostly cast magic, neither through wands nor through spells."

"It's more about using various magic materials as a medium to cast magic."

"And this way of casting magic is not small, and the magic is very strange, but the probability of success is low, and it is slow to cast, and was later abandoned."

"Definitely, it has not completely disappeared, but has continued to evolve, and a large part of it has become a potion."

"If you analyze carefully, you will find that when we cast magic, emotions and magic power are indispensable."

"However, when refining potions, these two factors are also included, but it is more complicated. It requires us to mobilize the original magic power of potion materials, as well as more complicated emotions and more magical rituals."

Hearing Snape's eloquent account of the history of the formation of potions, the eyes of the three of Ian became brighter and Wanda became more engrossed in listening.

Her instinct told him that what Professor Snape said was very important, very crucial.

"So you will find that a top potion master like me is not bad in strength, and a top necromancer like Dumbledore, he also has deep attainments in the field of potions."

"The two, originally, are interlinked."

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

Just as Snape finished speaking, a round of applause rang out.

It was only then that the crowd came to their senses and looked sideways. At some point, Luo Hart was applauding beside them, with a look of approval on his face.

"Professor Snape's speech is good. He is indeed a top potion master. This kind of view is quite beneficial to me."

At this moment, Lockhart had a faint smile on his face, and even more surprise in his eyes.

Sure enough, different people have different views on magic.

His thinking was influenced by previous researchers, and he prefers to analyze from a scientific and systematic perspective.

And Snape, a pure necromancer, received traditional magical education, and his views on potions touched Lockhart's heart.

It seems to see a glimmer of light, the hope of breaking through the current bottleneck of magic research.

"Snape, you speak well."

"However, can you share your understanding of the nature of magic from your perspective?"

Snape could easily see the anticipation in Lockhart's eyes, although he was a little surprised when Lockhart appeared.

But for Lockhart's question, there is no good hesitation, but he didn't answer, but asked directly: "Lockhart, why don't you talk about your views on the nature of magic first."

Hearing Snape's question, Wanda and Ian's eyes lit up, and they looked at Lockhart expectantly.

Seeing two very powerful necromancers communicate with each other, their inner excitement and anticipation were aroused at once.

It's as if fans see their two favorite stars interacting deeply.

Well, not the male-female kind.

After Lockhart heard it, he didn't have any hesitation, and said directly.

"Snape, you know that I have also studied Kamar-Taj's magic, and recently came into contact with a magic system similar to ours - Origin Magic Power."

"I learned a lot from it, and it also deepened my understanding of magic."

Hearing this, Snape was also looking forward to it. He knew Lockhart's strength, and he was much stronger than himself.

But in the necromancer world, strength does not mean that one must have a deeper understanding of magic than oneself.

Mastering the profound and lost spells, or Awakening certain abilities, or even mastering certain magic items, may increase combat power.

But Lockhart is obviously different. Among other things, he has been exposed to one or more new magic systems.

He was looking forward to Lockhart's cognition about the nature of magic.

"Snape, in the eyes of most people, magic is actually the manipulation of magical energy, which is very obvious in Kama Taj's magic system."

Hearing this Snape nodded, Kamar-Taj's spellbook, he read it did.

"And this kind of magic has an obvious advantage. When the energy is sufficient, its power will be very strong. It is not a joke to destroy the world."

"As for our magic, there are also powerful ones, but they tend to be very strange and even unpredictable."

"For example, the Restoration Charm, even a small necromancer can easily cast it with a wave of his wand. However, in Kamar-Taj, although the same effect can be achieved, the price paid is very high."

"I have explored the differences between the two, combined with my recent research on Origin Magic Power, I found that the essence of our magic is not to mobilize energy."

"It's about mobilizing deeper forces, or in other words—influence concepts!"

Having said that, Lockhart took out his wand, under the watchful eyes of Snape, Ian, Wanda and others.

Point to the ground lightly.

With the emergence of weak magic power, the weeds on the ground rose suddenly as if they had taken medicine.

When we reached the height of half a person, suddenly the tips of the weeds began to spin and slowly gathered together.

The next moment, a red rose with long thorns emerged.

Seeing this scene, Wanda's eyes were full of shock, and the three of Ian were also very surprised.

When Snape saw it, he frowned, took a step forward, and reached out to touch the red roses.

Fingers touched the thorns on the rose lightly, but Snape pressed down anyway.

Fingers feel the tenderness of the petals, and at the same time, the sharp thorns pierce the skin, and a drop of bright red blood drips into the stamen.

It shows the coquettishness of this blood-stained rose even more.

"It's not an illusion, it's a bit similar to the shapeshifting spell, but there seems to be a problem in its essence." Snape muttered to himself while studying.

Lockhart stood aside and slowly explained: "Just now, I added the concept of growth and roses to this weed."

"That's why it's like the shapeshifting mantra. When I cast the shapeshifting mantra, I actually found that we are also adding a new layer of concepts to things through magic power."

"Our magic is very special. It can easily communicate with deeper forces and affect the changes of concepts, so our magic will look even more wonderful."

Hearing this, Snape also nodded, and analyzed in agreement: "Lockhart, this is indeed the case."

"A lot of powerful magic, he needs something that symbolizes concepts, rituals, to be successful."

"For example, Annie Max needs to hold the mandella leaves in her mouth for a month, and the follow-up ceremony needs dew, the moon, thunder and lightning and other factors to be successful."

The more he talked, the brighter Snape's eyes became. He found that Lockhart's angle was very novel and helped him a lot.

However, it feels a bit like a Muggle.

The word concept seems to have been invented by Muggles.

The thought flashed, and Snape put it behind him, and had to think it out of his mind, corresponding to Lockhart's point of view.

I found that a lot of magic can indeed be explained clearly through the perspective that Lockhart said.

"Snape, tell me your point of view. How do you understand the nature of magic?"
