Capítulo 92: Chapter 92: Snape’s Regret
Hogwarts, Snape's office.
Snape sat at his desk, looking at the five magical plants in front of him, lost in thought. The magical plants Lockhart needed to appraise had been mostly identified, and the results surprised him a little. He had originally suspected that Lockhart was involved in smuggling, but now his suspicions were completely dispelled. He was certain that the other party had a magical ruin in his possession.
Either they were the remains of an ancient potion master, or they were the remains of a magical plants cultivator. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why Lockhart had so many unknown ingredients at his disposal. Especially in the past few days, he specifically tried to explore these materials. Lockhart didn't hesitate at all and directly chose to use the material instead of gold galleons. What does this mean? This shows that Lockhart has a lot of materials in his hands.
To be honest, Snape regretted now that he had lost his identity as a dark wizard. Otherwise, capturing Lockhart and taking all his stuff would be a good idea. Of course, he was just thinking about it. As far as he knew, Lockhart was an explorer and his combat prowess was probably not weak. Well, it's not impossible to use potion to take what he wanted. Veritaserum and Obliviate Charm seem to go well together.
No, he couldn't think about it anymore. The more he thought about it, the more he had the urge to take action. Snape quickly retracted his thoughts. He was now the Potions Professor at Hogwarts and the Head of Slytherin House.
At the moment when Snape was thinking, suddenly.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Professor Snape, it's me."
Lockhart's voice sounded in the office along with a knock on the door.
"Lockhart, please come in. The door is unlocked."
Hearing Snape's voice, Lockhart entered Snape's office. After taking a look at the magic plant on the table, Lockhart said in a pleasant voice, "Professor Snape, what are the results of the test?"
"All tests have been completed," Snape nodded, took out a stack of appraisal papers, handed them to Lockhart, and said, "These are the results of the appraisal. You can take a look. It has my signature on it. If you sell it, you can directly say that it was authenticated by me. No one can doubt the authenticity."
Hearing this, Lockhart nodded and said, "Thank you, Professor Snape. There may be a batch of materials that need to be identified later, so I'll have to trouble you."
Hearing this, Snape squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. Soon, he controlled his voice and said as gently as possible, "Lockhart, how many kinds of materials are there in the next batch?"
Hearing Snape's gentle tone, Lockhart felt a little uncomfortable but still replied, "Same as this batch, about seven or eight species."
Hearing this, Snape nodded secretly with a smile on his face. Lockhart suddenly felt uncomfortable. He had an inexplicable feeling that he had seen the other person's smile before. Well, this guy wouldn't want to rob him, right? Lockhart thought. It shouldn't be the case. The other party is the Head of Slytherin House and the Hogwarts professor. Lockhart felt a hint of amusement at his sudden thought.
Then, before he had time to think about it, he heard Snape ask, "Lockhart, how many of these five materials do you have currently? I'm going to order a batch."
Hearing this, Lockhart nodded suddenly. After thinking about it, Lockhart replied directly, "I still have some on hand, about 10 of each kind. How about it?"
Snape nodded after hearing this and said in a deep voice, "Okay, the price will be as recommended in the appraisal paper. Do you think it's okay?"
Upon hearing this, Lockhart said boldly, "Don't worry, Snape, you are my friend. If you buy it, you can get a 30% discount."
In response, Snape took a deep look at Lockhart, nodded slightly, and said nothing more. Although his face was still cold, his eyes were slightly softer. He mentioned 5 kinds of magic materials before, three of which are substitutes for some rare and even extinct potion materials, and the remaining two have very novel effects. It can be said that the value is not small.
"Okay, Snape. Put the materials aside for now. Now can we talk about the blood I gave you."
Hearing this, Snape nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Lockhart, I basically used more than half of the bottle of blood you gave me. If the blood is used as the raw material, some potions can indeed be made to improve physical fitness. However, other materials are not cheap either."
At this point, Snape changed the subject in the room and said with some amazement, "Lockhart, I have to say that it is a material of extremely high value. If you still have this blood in your hands, I will buy it all."
As he spoke, Snape explained, "After my testing, I found that the blood itself has a very strong fusion effect. If used to refine magic potions, it will have an effect similar to an accelerator. It can shorten the time for refining magic potion, at least by half."
Speaking of this, Snape's eyes lit up with fire. The efficiency of refining potions has been doubled, which is an unparalleled temptation for everyone who refines potions.
Lockhart was a little surprised when he heard it, but then he suddenly understood. Peter was able to successfully fuse the spider and gain its abilities, which shows that the blood itself is extremely special. Regarding Snape's request, Lockhart hesitated for a moment and said, "Snape, I only have this amount of blood at the moment. But I'll see if I can get some more next month. We'll talk about it when the time comes."
Hearing this, Snape nodded without saying anything. Last time, he heard Lockhart talk about how he couldn't catch the magical creature that resembled a golden snitch. Immediately afterwards, Lockhart was heard asking, "By the way, Snape, can this blood improve the user's instincts?"
In response, Snape shook his head and said, "It's not possible at the moment. No relevant effects have been detected. Perhaps instinct has little to do with blood. If there is the brain of the other party, I guess it may have a corresponding effect."
Hearing this, Lockhart took a breath. He was okay with the blood, but with Spider-Man's brain, he was a little worried about whether he could successfully return to the Harry Potter world. He quickly shook his head and replied, "The blood is fine, let's not talk about the brain for now. We will discuss it later."
Afterwards, Snape explained some material matters and then cordially communicated with Lockhart about some other issues. Well, he intentionally tested how Lockhart would deal with poisonous magical animals, as well as some methods of evasion.
