Chapter 121-Professor Snape's Public Apology!
March 28
That night, Blake stayed in the Room of Requirements as usual. And just because he didn't have the effect of the Elixir of Fortune, he fell asleep in the middle of the night until the next morning.
Cassandra and Hermione came to the Room of Requirements at the same time. They wanted to verify a rumour they heard about Blake.
"They all said you have a Phoenix."
"I think they're all crazy."
"How can you have a Phoenix?"
"It's strange. Did you do something strange again and then make everyone misunderstand?"
The two of them spoke one after another and woke Blake up from his sleep. Blake scratched his messy hair.
"What strange thing?"
"They said you have a Phoenix," Hermione said with a smile.
"Tell me, what did you do to make them misunderstand?"
Blake scratched his head.
"Misunderstand? No."
Cassandra and Hermione looked at each other.
"What do you mean …"
"You can't be telling me that you actually have a phoenix, right?"
Blake patted his head.
"Ah, I should really strengthen her today."
"Strengthen?"
"Uh … I mean feed her."
Blake stretched out his right hand. Then. A blue light flashed. A beautiful and elegant blue bird appeared on Blake's arm.
[Ding!
Two extremely shocked emotions were detected!]
[Ding!
Congratulations to the host for obtaining two gold treasure chests.]
Blake nodded with satisfaction. These were Gold treasure chests! This proved that his luck didn't worsen because of the Elixir of Fortune.
Cassandra and Hermione opened their mouths in shock. They didn't close them for a long time.
"You, you, you … you really have a Phoenix!"
Even Cassandra couldn't maintain her ladylike composure. It was just too shocking. In this world, there seemed to be only two domesticated Phoenixes.
One was Fox from Dumbledore. The other was called Sparkle. It was the New Zealand Quidditch team … The mascot of the Motora Macaw team.
And now … There seemed to be one more. And it was a very special Ice Phoenix! If Cassandra remembered correctly. This should be the first Ice Phoenix to appear in the world!
"Can … can I touch it?"
"It's a her, Cassandra. Phoenixes were very proud. Of course, there are very few such beautiful creatures in this world."
The last sentence was meant for Qing Nu. Sure enough, she heard Blake praise her beauty. Qing Nu happily raised her proud neck. Blake placed Qing Nu on the ground.
"Her name is Qing Nu. It came from the east. By the way, you can feed her. You can start cultivating your relationship. Maybe then she'll let you touch her."
Blake took out a bucket of fresh fish. Then he gestured to the two of them to feed Phoenix. The two girls happily took the buckets. They began the long process of gaining the Phoenix's trust.
Blake took the breakfast that Beck had left on the side. First, he took a sip of the warm coffee. After pondering for a while, he took out a pen and started writing on the parchment. It seemed to be a letter.
As the three were busy in the Room of Requirements, Dumbledore was with Professor Snape in his office.
"Have you decided? Dumbledore?"
Snape stood in front of Dumbledore with an expressionless face.
Dumbledore sighed. "What do you want me to decide?"
Professor Snape was silent for a while.
"Of course it's to decide what to do with me."
"So, have you realized your mistake?"
Snape was silent again. But this time, he didn't speak.
"It's not a big deal to bravely admit your mistake, Severus. Didn't you find me back then, and then bravely admit that you made a big mistake?"
Snape's face turned pale.
It was as if a wound had been torn open again. It was when he became a professor at Hogwarts.
"I thank you for taking me in, Dumbledore … But now it seems that I should go. Because … it seems that now. Everyone in this school hates me. There's no point for me to stay any longer."
Dumbledore crossed his arms and looked at Snape quietly.
"Maybe … we can change our perspective, Severus. You said that everyone in this school hates you and doesn't like you … Then … I want to ask you, right now, in this school, is there anyone you like?"
Snape's mouth twitched. The answer was, of course, no. Not now. Even back then … There was only one person … yet, he had personally pushed that person away from his side …
He had pushed her to the person he hated the most! Thinking about this, Snape felt as if a knife was piercing through his heart. Now, there was only a feeling of regret spreading in his heart.
Dumbledore continued. "Feelings are mutual. If you don't like other people, then what about you? If you only hated them. Then what others will return to you is only the same feeling of disgust …"
Snape felt as if his lips were about to bleed. If he hadn't said that word back then … If he hadn't said that word out loud, he wouldn't have brought that malice between him and Lily.
Then Lily wouldn't have completely cut off her feelings for him in return then, would things have continued to develop in that way? Maybe … it would have still become like that …
Ever since he joined those people and started experimenting with black magic. Lily had already gotten further and further away from him.
Dumbledore saw that Snape was still silent. He stood up from his chair.
Then he walked to the desk.
"Go apologize, Severus."
"What?!" Snape frowned.
"Go and apologise to those children that you despised …"
"I … won't go!"
"Don't worry about embarrassing yourself, Severus."
"Because I'll go with you. I'll apologize to them first. Because you're the professor I recruited. And all these years, I didn't notice anything strange about you. Strictly speaking. My mistake is much bigger than yours."
Snape looked at Dumbledore in shock.
"You … Do you really have to do this? You could have just fired me!"
Chapter 122-Professor Snape's Public Apology!(2)
March 29
Dumbledore walked past Snape and said softly, "Really? Fire you and let you leave Hogwarts so that you can expose Lily's child to that person?"
Snape turned around abruptly and stared at Dumbledore. At this moment, Dumbledore had already walked to the door.
"So … Are you coming with me or … Are you going to leave Hogwarts now?"
Professor Snape's face was dark. Suddenly, he flung his black cloak and quickly walked past Dumbledore.
" Let's Go."
At the auditorium, because it was Sunday there were a lot of people. Blake also left the Room of Requirements with Cassandra and Hermoine and they didn't take long till they arrived at the auditorium.
Then, the three of them went their separate ways and went to the long tables of their respective Houses to eat.
" Blake! Here! "
Cedric waved his hand.
Blake put the book he was holding in his pocket. Then, he walked over quickly. Cedric saw Blake walking over and hurriedly said with great interest, "I heard …"
"Yes, I have a phoenix." Blake interrupted Cedric's question.
"What?"
"She likes to eat fresh fish and she doesn't breathe fire," Blake continued.
"Uh … Can I …."
"Not now. Dumble- I mean Principal Dumbledore doesn't allow me to summon her at the auditorium," Blake answered.
"Then, can you …"
"I can't tell you where she came from, Cedric … Professor Dumbledore forbade it," Blake interrupted again.
Cedric looked at Blake, speechless.
"I … You … How did you know what I was going to ask …"
"Experience … Cedric."
"Ever since I knew you were a gossipy guy, I was prepared."
"I think you misunderstood me, Blake."
"Then did I answer what you wanted to ask?"
"Yes."
"Then I didn't make a mistake."
"F * ck! It's not fun to talk like this." Cedric was furious.
"Because it's not fun to talk while eating, especially when you took the opportunity to take away all my pudding!"
"Good food belongs to the best!"
"Cedric! You Old thief! Give me back my pudding! "
Hannah said timidly, "Don't fight anymore … I still have more."
Just as the two of them were fighting. Dumbledore and Snape appeared at the same time in the faculty seats.
Soon, all the little wizards and witches in the hall noticed this. The noisy auditorium gradually quieted down.
At the same time, the other professors in the faculty seats also looked at the two of them. Professor Snape could be said to have disappeared after that incident.
He hadn't appeared in front of everyone again. This was the first time he appeared in public in two days.
Ron whispered to Harry, "Do you think Principal Dumbledore will decide to fire him?"
"That would be very good!" Harry said sincerely, "I think it's still very possible!"
After such a big incident, so many people in the school hated Professor Snape.
Hermione looked at the two of them with disdain. She said helplessly, "Can't you think with your brains?"
"Even if Principal Dumbledore wants to fire Professor Snape, he won't announce it in front of everyone. If Professor Snape knows that he's going to be fired, why would he appear in front of everyone? Hasn't he embarrassed himself enough?"
Ron and Harry stared at Hermione. Although they knew in their hearts that she was right, they did not like the way she spoke … Why couldn't they like it?
At this moment, Dumbledore coughed twice. Then, he pulled out his wand and pointed it at his throat.
"Everyone, quiet down!" His loud voice silenced the noisy auditorium.
"Sorry for disturbing everyone's meal. But there are some things that I have to explain to everyone."
Dumbledore looked around the auditorium. Then, he continued.
"In the past, it was because of my negligence that I neglected the way the professors treated the students. As a result, many students were hurt.
As the principal, I have a lot of responsibility for this. Now, I'd like to apologize to these students" Dumbledore then bowed in the direction of the Auditorium.
In the auditorium, many of the young wizards were surprised. They didn't expect Principal Dumbledore to apologize first. Then, Dumbledore straightened his back and continued.
"I promise that from today onwards, I'll pay attention to the teaching methods of every professor. I'll put an end to the unfair treatment of students, targeting, insulting, and so on … bullying of students by professors!"
As soon as Dumbledore finished his sentence, the auditorium was filled with applause. Dumbledore raised his hand and pressed it down. When everyone's applause died down, he continued.
He continued, "Children, I think your Professor Snape has something to say to you."
As he spoke, Dumbledore stepped aside. He looked at Snape. The corner of Snape's mouth twitched. He took a step forward.
He looked at the countless pairs of eyes in front of him. Everyone was looking at him quietly. Snape opened his mouth and closed it again … This was really too difficult for him.
Then, he looked at the countless pairs of eyes. He saw a pair of familiar eyes. At this moment, he felt a trace of courage in his body.
"Here … I would like to express … my sincere apologies to those … students whom I have … treated unfairly, or … insulted … in the past." Snape paused for a moment, then continued, "Here … I sincerely apologize."
Snape's words came out in a staccato manner. He stuttered even more than Professor Quirrell.
"I … promise … in the future … classes, I won't … make such a mistake again."
After Snape finished his sentence. He glanced at Dumbledore and then at the students who were still silent. Then, he turned around and left the auditorium.
Dumbledore glanced at his back and shook his head bitterly. To a certain extent … He couldn't just fire Snape. He needed Snape at Hogwarts.
Dumbledore turned his head and said, "That's right. Everyone has heard Professor Snape's apology just now. I hope you can give Professor Snape a chance."
"I will supervise him as well. Strive for a fair and harmonious learning environment for everyone …"
At the long Hufflepuff table. Blake rubbed his stomach in satisfaction. He had already taken advantage of Cedric's shocked look at Snape's apology and finished all the pudding in front of him.
"What was so good about Professor Snape's apology? Desserts were better!"
Blake already knew from the beginning that Snape would never leave Hogwarts. Dumbledore needed someone familiar with Voldemort to keep an eye on him!
The other professors couldn't do it. Only Snape was suitable! So, Snape couldn't leave Hogwarts. And if Snape didn't want to leave Hogwarts …
He had to cover up this matter as soon as possible. Apologizing in public and seeking everyone's forgiveness. That was the simplest way.
Dumbledore apologized in order to convince Snape to do so. He even apologized personally. Snape had no reason to refuse.
This kind of situation would never happen again. So, what else could they say? This matter could be considered to have come to an end.
But Neville, Harry, and the others would have a much better time at the academy in the future.
"Ah! Blake! You sneaked an attack! My pudding!"
Chapter 123- You Call This Mediocre?!(1)
6 days ago
The next few days were quite dull. Except for one thing. That was, The big bear finally had enough experience to evolve!
That night, Blake slipped out quietly again. He came to the cave where Big Bear lived.
Maybe it was because of strengthening and adding points, but his body seemed to be a little bigger than a few days ago. The brown hair all over his body was shiny and shiny. At first glance, one could tell that it was very nutritious.
Hagrid had always thought so. This was because he fed it well. This made Big Bear grow so well! Of course, Blake didn't expose this point.
"Whoa whoa whoa!
(I've been a little bored recently. I want Second Bear.)"
"You want Second Bear? Then you have to find it yourself. Do you see the forest behind you? There should be a beautiful Second Bear in there!"
Blake put down a bucket of salmon and then pointed to the forbidden forest behind Big Bear.
"Whoa whoa whoa!
(I feel like you're fooling me. It's very dangerous inside. I feel like I'll be sending meat to others if I go in …)
Blake patted Big Bear's big head.
"Don't worry. From today onwards, you will be a different bear! After tonight, you can do whatever you want in the forbidden forest!"
"Whoa whoa whoa?
(Really?) "
"Don't worry …"
Blake said and opened Big Bear's attribute panel.
[Brown Bear (Big Bear)]
[Assignable Points: 0]
[Physical Strength: 20]
[Strength: 25]
[Speed: 30]
[Endurance: 20]
[Attack: 21]
[Physical Defense: 20]
[Magic Defense: 91]
[Existing Skills: Slap, Brutal Charge, Fatal Bite]
[Awakened Unique Skill: Not Activated (Can be activated after evolution) ]
[Evolution Magic Power Required for Next Evolution: 1980/2000]
[Reset Attribute Points (Can be reset by spending evolution magic power)]
After these three days of strengthening, the extra nine attribute points he received were all added to Big Bear's Magic Defense by Blake.
As a result, his Magic Defense had increased from 82 points to 91 points. His Evolution Mana had also reached 1,980 points.
He only needed to be strengthened once more today which would give him another 60 points of Evolution Magic Power.
In other words, he would soon surpass the 2000 points threshold. Then he would be ready for his evolution!
Big Bear could be said to be one of Blake's domesticated animals. The first to reach the evolution conditions. Therefore, this experience was very important to Blake.
"Then … are you ready Big Bear? Because I don't know what will happen after you evolve."
Blake asked before he made his move.
"Oh, oh, oh!
(For the beautiful Bears in the forest!) "
Blake's mouth twitched. As expected of you! Blake stretched out his hand and he pressed it down on Big Bear's body. Surging Druid mana poured into Big Bear's body.
After a while, Blake realized that Big Bear's body was emitting a red light. It then scratched its head with its claws.
"Oh, oh, oh!
(My head is itchy. Am I going to grow a brain?) "
Blake didn't answer. He did not know what was going on but he continued to pour Druid's mana into it.
When Blake found that his mana couldn't be poured in anymore, he let go of his hand in shock.
He could have poured it in for a while, but now he couldn't pour it in. It was like Big Bear's body was full.
Blake let go of his hand and looked at Big Bear's attribute panel. Then he saw that the Evolution Magic Power had reached 2,000 points. Blake suddenly understood that this was the limit.
"Oh, oh, oh.
(I feel hot all over.) "
Blake looked at the Big Bear's attribute panel.
[Awakened special skills: Not activated (can be activated after evolution) ]
[Evolution Magic Power required for the next level of evolution: 2000/2000]
[Reset attribute points (can spend Evolution Magic Power to reset)]
[Evolution]
Then he saw a button at the bottom. It clearly said Evolution. Seeing Big Bear getting more and more uncomfortable. Blake didn't hesitate. He clicked on it directly.
[Ding!
Evolving magical animal 'Big Bear' ]
[Ding!
Evolution successful! ]
Then a rich red light reflected the entire bear cave. Fortunately, to be on the safe side. Blake began to evolve in Big Bear's in his bear den. And he had blocked the entrance of the cave.
He even used a spell to isolate the sound inside. So even though the red light was dazzling. It couldn't shine out of the cave and it couldn't alarm anyone.
Then.
The rich red light turned into a red mist. The mist slowly wrapped around Big Bear's entire body. Then the mist gradually converged and was sucked into Big Bear's body.
Following that, a thick layer of red cocoon appeared around Big Bear. Blake paid attention to Big Bear's attribute panel. He saw that the numbers on the panel were also increasing crazily.
It seemed to be changing too fast. It caused a visual error. Finally, the numbers on the attribute panel stopped. Then all the numbers on it. They all turned into question marks!
"Crack!"
The red cocoon made a cracking sound. Then a red bear paw stretched out of the cocoon! When Big Bear climbed out of the red cocoon. The question marks on the attribute panel turned into numbers again!
[Fire Bear (Big Bear)]
[Assignable Points: 3]
[Physical Strength: 100]
[Power: 250]
[Speed: 110]
[Endurance: 120]
[IX: 179]
[Physical Defense: 200]
[Magic Defense: 500]
[Existing skills: Slap, Brutal Charge, Fatal Bite]
[Awakened special skills: Fire Magic, Lightning Speed]
[Evolution Magic Power required for the next level of evolution: Potential exhausted, unable to evolve]
[Existing Evolution Magic Power: 0]
[Reset attribute points (can spend Evolution Magic Power to reset)]
Blake glanced at the panel.
Blake couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. After evolving from an ordinary bear to a magical animal. All the attributes that were originally only in two digits, they all reached three digits!
And the magic defence that he had previously focused on. The bonus was particularly terrifying! Although this panel was not as good as the one of the Ice Phoenix, the magic defence was already as high as the Ice Phoenix!
Both were 500!
And … Its speed had reached an astonishing 100! Even the Phoenix's speed was only 550. But the speed of the bear referred to its running speed on the ground!
Blake noticed that it had a special skill called Lightning Speed. This skill could only be activated once a day.
And after it was activated. Within one minute, The big bear had already finished the test. It could get a five-fold speed bonus!
In other words, within a minute. Its speed would reach a terrifying 500 points! It was only 50 points lower than the Phoenix!
"Overall, it's pretty good!" Blake said with satisfaction.
He added the three attribute points he had earned today to his attack power.
500 points of magic defence was enough for the time being.
It was time to add some other attribute points appropriately.
"Phew!"
Blake took a step back and just dodged a large ball of fire that Big Bear spat out.
Chapter 124- An Ordinary Pokeball
4 days ago
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!
(Sorry, I just burped … I feel like I'm full of energy now!) "
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!
(You're right, I've become more handsome and stronger now. I can indeed find a beautiful Second Bear by myself.) "
Blake nodded. Now Big Bear's ability was already very strong. It could indeed enter and exit the Forbidden Forest freely.
Unfortunately, it was only an ordinary energy transformation after all. Now its potential had been exhausted. There was no way to evolve again.
But even so, Blake didn't think that many magical animals could do better than the current Big Bear! Blake firmly remembered all the experimental data in his mind.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!
(I want to go to the Forbidden Forest.) "
"Go, you can live in the Forbidden Forest from now on. You don't need to come back here."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!
(Okay, you can summon me whenever you need me.) "
Seeing Big Bear's fiery figure disappear into the depths of the Forbidden Forest, Blake turned and walked towards Hagrid's cabin.
In order to avoid Hagrid's suspicion, he planned to tell Hagrid that he had released Big Bear into the forest.
After all, it was originally an ordinary bear, but in the blink of an eye, it had become a magical animal. Blake didn't know how to explain it, but he had to think of a way to do it.
The next day, Blake finished his classes for the day and after participating in the routine Quidditch training, he went to the Room of Requirements.
It had been seventy-two hours since the last time he took the Spirit Blessing Potion. In other words, he could finally open the Supreme Treasure Chest!
He took out the Advanced Spirit Blessing Potion. Then he poured a drop into his mouth … In the blink of an eye, that mysterious feeling from before appeared again.
"Hmm … … What a wonderful feeling … Then … I hope I can get a reward that I can use right now. Yes, it should be a reward that could be used right now."
Blake couldn't help but remember the Ancient Magic that he had obtained from the Supreme Treasure Chest. Although it was very strong, that was only in theory. Because Blake hadn't used it yet.
After all, no one was causing trouble for him, Hogwarts was still considered safe. There was basically no chance to use it.
So Blake hoped that this time he could get something or a skill that could be used right now or else he would just put it aside. To be honest that would still be quite wasteful.
Blake did not waste any time. He directly opened the System Space. He looked at the Supreme Treasure Chest that was emitting a bright light!
"System! Open the Supreme Treasure Chest for me! "
[Ding!
Opening the Supreme Treasure Chest for the host! ]
[Ding!
Congratulations to the host for obtaining an ordinary Pokeball (Blueprint).]
Blake picked up the Advanced Spirit Blessing Potion that he had just drunk. Then he looked at the potion. He wondered if he had drunk the wrong potion. Or maybe this Advanced Spirit Blessing Potion had expired …
"What the hell is an ordinary Pokeball? I want to see the item description!"
[An ordinary Pokeball blueprint. If you gather enough materials, you can create an ordinary, Pokeball. As long as you have enough materials, you can even duplicate it.]
[This Pokeball has very few functions, and its effects are ordinary. By opening this thing, the host can be considered to have suffered a huge loss!]
[First function: You can ignore the will of any magical animal and forcefully tame it.]
"(Ordinary to the point of being boring.)"
{AN//: These are the system remarks}
[Second function: You can collect the ball containing the tamed magical animal and carry it with you without feeding it. The magical animal in the ball can be controlled by a spirit at any moment.
The ball can strengthen the tamed animal's bloodline, replenish its evolved magic power, and you can get attribute points as a reward every day.]
(Another mediocre function.)
[Third function: In order to prevent the magical animal in the ball from being too bored after entering the ball, the magical animal will enter a different dream, and a random world will appear in the dream.
Thus, the magical animal may learn skills that have never appeared in this world.]
(This function is also ordinary.)
"Hmm … " Blake stroked his chin.
"How is this mediocre?! This is simply too broken!"
Blake's eyes were filled with tears. With this thing, why would I need to work so hard to strengthen the magical animal every day?
Moreover, with this thing, why would I need to keep the magical animal in the Room Requirements?
I carry it with me at all times! That's right … if this thing is created does that mean that Big Bear could continue to ignore his potential and continue evolving?!
It could even allow magical animals to learn new skills in their dreams, this was even more perverse!
Didn't this mean that he could become stronger just by sleeping? Most importantly … Blake didn't even need to feed his tamed animals!
Blake was so happy that snot bubbles were about to pop out of his nose!
"Hiss … That's right, I wonder if the materials used to make this are expensive. If the material of this thing was very expensive, then the price-performance ratio would not be high.
But Blake was soon beaming with joy. Although there were many materials used in the manufacturing process, it wasn't expensive at all!
This kind of mediocre Pokeball seemed to be the only mediocre item that was special! Blake glanced at the materials written in the system panel.
Although these materials were not expensive, they had to be gathered in a short period of time. It was still somewhat difficult.
After all, he was only a young wizard, and there were many things that were not easy to buy even for him.
'Should I ask Dumbledore? Forget it, it will be too troublesome to explain.'
Blake took out a notebook from his pocket.
Then he wrote, "I want some materials to practice alchemy."
After a while, the words disappeared.
A new line of words appeared.
"Materials for alchemy? Dumbledore, that old guy, is not even willing to give you materials for alchemy? No … It's something that I want to make. It might not be convenient for him to see."
"Not convenient for him to see? Okay! Ask Beck to give me the list! I'll get it all for you within a day! Power doesn't distinguish between good and evil, and so does alchemy items! I won't be as confused as Dumbledore!
To avoid the owl being intercepted. I'll ask Someone to send it to you directly. How many sets of materials do you need?"
"Two or three sets will do …"
Blake closed the notebook.
There was no choice. Many of these materials could only be obtained by Grindelwald.
Now, he was eager to make a Pokeball to see the effect. If the Pokeball really had these functions, then perhaps the ice phoenix's evolution would not need to wait four to five years!
Chapter 125- Making Items
4 days ago
Blake looked at the blueprint of the Pokeball. His heart was itching. It was a pity that the materials he received were temporarily insufficient.
But … if the materials were sufficient, he could synthesize it directly in the system or did he need to do it himself?
Blake turned on the synthesis system. Then he saw the blueprint of the Pokeball in the synthesis system.
This meant that the Pokeball could be synthesized directly in the synthesis system. Then a system prompt suddenly sounded.
[Ding!
The equipment or items synthesized by the system are guaranteed to be of normal quality. ]
[Ding!
If the host does it himself, there is a chance to get higher-quality equipment or items, but there is also a chance that the creation will fail or a low-quality product.]
Blake touched his chin.
'So that's how it is.'
In other words, the system's synthesis could guarantee the bare minimum quality. But if he wanted to gamble on high-quality equipment and items. Then he would have to do it himself.
It seemed that his skills in alchemy and the like still needed to continue to improve. Who didn't want to have a full set of golden legendary equipment in the future?
Of course, at this stage, it was impossible to create the best golden legendary equipment but the system would guarantee the minimum for the time being. Especially items like the Pokeball.
At this stage, there was no need for high-quality equipment. After all, the materials were limited. It was enough to get a few of the normal quality ones first.
Then he would stuff his pets with the strongest combat power into them and would leave a few free pets to go to the Forbidden Forest to catch a ferocious magical animal!
Although he could also transform magical animals with his Druid ability, Blake thought that it would be too laborious.
If he encountered a powerful magical animal, brainwashing it would consume more power than just taming it so the Pokeball was more convenient!
Blake's heart was full of expectations at this time. He then stored the materials in the system space.
The treasure chests that he had accumulated in the last few days were all synthesized. He got two golden treasure chests. Then Blake directly opened the two golden treasure chests.
Because in His opinion, with the blessing of the Lucky Potion. Even if it was a golden treasure chest, he could still get something useful.
[Ding!
Opening the golden treasure chest for the host!]
[Ding!
Congratulations to the host for obtaining an ice crystal bracelet blueprint!]
[Ding!
Opening the golden treasure chest for the host!]
[Ding!
Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Lucky Potion (Advanced Spirit Blessing Potion) magic potion formula!]
"Lucky Potion formula?!"
Blake directly skimmed over the blueprint. He looked directly at the Luck Potion. The formula for the Luck Potion was out.
This meant that in the future, he could concoct such a ridiculously effective Luck Potion himself! This potion could really increase one's luck.
And most importantly, as long as the interval was seventy-two hours. It could be taken repeatedly.
There were no side effects like the original version of the Spirit Blessing Potion.
One had to know that even a Potion Master like Snape wouldn't be able to do it.
Blake quickly looked at the recipe for the Lucky Potion then, he silently compared it to the potion formula of the ordinary Spirit Blessing Potion.
Blake had Beginner Potioneering Mastery so he knew the potion formula of the Spirit Blessing Potion.
After comparing the two, he found out that the Lucky Potion and the Spirit Blessing Potion were only partially similar.
Many materials had also changed. For example, in the original formula, where there was
"One drop of blood from a three-month-old unicorn." It was replaced with "three drops of Phoenix tears."
And in the original formula, "One foot of unicorn horn." was also replaced with "One gram of unicorn horn powder."
And the time to brew the Luck Potion was only half of the original Spirit Blessing Potion!
One had to know that for the original Spirit Blessing Potion, from start to the end, without more than six months, one wouldn't be able to succeed.
If any of the steps were wrong, then these six months would be in vain. But the Luck Potion only needed three months …
Although three months was also a long time.
But when compared to its ridiculously effective potion. Three months was nothing at all!
He just needed to prepare a little more materials at the beginning. Then, he would boil several pots at the same time. In the end, even if he failed a few pots. The output would still be very good.
Among the many materials required, the most difficult one to obtain was the Phoenix tears.
Blake could really get as much as he wanted but he couldn't bear to see Qing Nu shed tears.
Then, he looked at the previous ordinary ice crystal bracelet blueprint.
[After wearing it, it will be warm in winter and cool in summer. You can freely change the shape of the bracelet and Increase the magical power reserve and the speed of magical power recovery.]
"Hmm … increase the power of the spell."
[You can actively open a magic shield to block most magical and physical attacks.]
Overall, the attributes of this equipment were really good. After drinking the Luck Potion and opening the treasure chests, it was a sure bet that he could get good things.
Blake looked at the material of the bracelet. Then, he happened to find that he just had enough materials to make several of them.
Blake thought for a while. He didn't want to use the system's synthesis function to directly synthesize. Because the highest quality would only be normal.
If he made it himself, according to his current state of drinking the Luck Potion in addition to his current alchemy level that was already not weak it could be said that high-quality equipment was almost 100%.
Blake immediately took out the materials and was ready to start. Suddenly, Blake took out the mithril from the materials and put it aside.
This was originally the main material of the bracelet.
It seemed that the Luck Potion had just given him a little hint. The hint was that there was a better material than mithril!
Blake looked at Qing Nu who was looking at him curiously.
"Good! Can you give me one of your feathers?"
Blake got what he wanted. He divided the feather, which was still emitting cold air, into three parts. Then, he began his own refining.
This was the first alchemy operation he had done since he started learning alchemy. Although his movements were still a little rusty, with the blessing of the Luck Potion, Blake's movements could still be said to be smooth.
Soon, three exquisite blue bracelets appeared in front of him. In terms of quality. The system's evaluation was that all of them were of the best quality. Therefore, all of its attribute bonuses were the highest.
Blake picked one up. It was cold and light to the touch.
After all, the main material had been changed from mithril to ice phoenix feathers. Then, Blake took off the watch on his wrist and put the bracelet on.
The bracelet was automatically activated. Blake reached out and pressed on the bracelet. In the next second, the bracelet automatically turned into the shape of a watch.
The 'watch' could tell the time like a normal watch … Blake felt the buff from the equipment. Then, he raised his hand. A transparent shield was released from the bracelet!

Blake knocked on the shield in front of him. The defence was not bad! He retracted his hand and put away the shield.
"This is indeed a good equipment."
"As expected of you! Qing Nu! Even your feathers are so strong! "
"Chirp!" Qing Nu raised her head proudly.
Once again, she was lost under Blake's sweet words.
===
In Dumbledore's office, Blake took out a letter and placed it on Dumbledore's desk.
"Professor, can you help me pass this letter to your friend? The friend who asked you to bring me a manuscript. Nicolas Flamell."
Dumbledore looked at the letter on the desk then he asked curiously. "Is it because the manuscript is too difficult, so you …"
"That's not it. It's just that when I was reading the previous content, I had some new ideas. That's why I wrote these ideas down. I wanted to know if these ideas would work or if I was wrong."
Dumbledore smiled.
"Actually, I have some understanding of alchemy. Maybe I can help you."
Blake nodded. "I wanted to ask you, but I thought about how busy you are, so …"
Dumbledore shook his head. "I have a lot of time for you, Blake."
Blake looked touched. Then, he took out a piece of parchment from his pocket.
"My questions and new ideas are all at the top, but …"
Dumbledore looked at the parchment with great interest.
"So you've prepared for this."
He took the parchment from Blake and began to read. If it was possible. He didn't want to disturb his old friend. After all, his friend was very old now.
But Blake's problem shouldn't be too difficult. He should be able to solve it. He didn't need to …
'Hmm?'
Dumbledore put away his previous thoughts. He thought that with his own skill level. He could easily solve Blake's problem. It's just that …
Although he was very accomplished in alchemy. He wasn't as well-rounded as Nicolas Flamel!
(AN//: I've realized that I have been getting the spelling bad and confusing it with Nico Lemay or Nico lemour. I am deeply sorry)
The new ideas and questions raised by Blake, he actually … couldn't understand some parts of them. It wasn't that Dumbledore's alchemy skills were lacking.
Instead, it was because … the knowledge on the paper just happened to touch on his blind spot. Yes, they were all parts that he hadn't dabbled in … So … this was a little awkward because he had just boasted that he would help Blake solve the problem …
Blake didn't do it on purpose. This was because he had finished reading alchemy books even the ones written by Dumbledore.
If there were any problems, they would have been noticed. Therefore, he had no doubts about Dumbledore's alchemy knowledge.
So now, he felt that since he had new ideas and new directions to ask … Dumbledore was the only one left that he could ask.
Dumbledore sighed.
"I didn't expect your alchemy to have progressed to such an extent. You know everything that I know. You also know a lot of things that I don't know …"
"It's true that I can't solve your problems …"
"So, you still have to send this letter."
Dumbledore helplessly put the parchment back on the table.
[Ding!
Detected emotions of shock and relief.]
[Ding!
Congratulations to the host for obtaining a gold treasure chest!]
"Professor, you're too humble!" Blake said with a smile.
Actually, he now deeply understood the importance of alchemy. So, he wrote to Nicolas Flamel to ask questions.
On one hand, he wanted to speed up his alchemy progress. On the other hand, he wanted to find a way to get closer to Nicolas Flamel.
If there was anyone in the world who could make his alchemy proficient, it would be him. Other than the accumulation of time, there was also the System's reward.
If possible, Blake hoped that the Philosopher's Stone wouldn't be destroyed. Because if that happened, Nicolas Flamel would die within two years.
It would be a pity if such a legendary alchemist died just like that. At least … he had to wait until he finished levelling up …
The most important thing was … the pinnacle of alchemy, the Philosopher's Stone. It was carelessly destroyed just like that. Was it really not a pity?
Dumbledore didn't know that Blake had already set his sights on the Philosopher's Stone. He gladly agreed to help Blake transfer the letter to his old friend.
When Blake left the Principal's Office, he knew that he had achieved his goal.
As a freshman who was only 11 years old who had such a level of alchemy. Blake didn't believe that Nicolas Flamel wouldn't be interested in him at the very least.
Even if the contents of his letter couldn't move him, Blake still stuffed an ice crystal bracelet in the envelope! It was one of the three bracelets that he made that night!
It was the best alchemy equipment that Blake had made at this stage. Blake was 100% sure that he could attract Nicolas Flamel's attention.
If he was lucky, he might even be able to obtain a Diamond Treasure Chest from him!
Blake walked to the common room of Hufflepuff. While thinking about how to keep the Philosopher's Stone, he also thought about how to save Nicolas Flamel's life.
"Hey! Why do you look so distracted? "
Cassandra was holding a book in her hand. Obviously, she had just finished class. Next to her were a few girls from Slytherin who had been walking with Cassandra.
After seeing Cassandra stop Blake. They all giggled and walked away.
"Oh … Nothing, I was just thinking about something," Blake said.
"Oh? Thinking about how to do bad things again? "Cassandra asked casually.
"What are you talking about? Everyone knows that I'm an honest Hufflepuff student. How can I do bad things? "
Blake looked around a little guilty.
"Do you even believe your own words? Do you want me to tell the professors how many 'good' things you've planted? "
"No … It's how many 'good' things we've planted together. If you tell them, we'll be finished together," Blake said with a smile.
"Who'll be finished with you?"
"Haha, let's not talk anymore. I'm still a little busy," Blake waved his hand. Then he quickly left.
Cassandra stood there and looked at his back suspiciously. Blake did have something on his mind.
After getting the map of the magical animal habitat, he had been thinking about catching some magical animals.
However, because he had been occupied by other things before, he hadn't been able to do it.
So tonight, he had to go to the Forbidden Forest to get some goods …Before the Pokeball was made. He decided to get some small ones first.
'But useful magical animals. These would be easier to tame. Those who only knew how to act cute were not bad.'
'If they could act cute, they could be used to attract treasure chests at the right time! For example, Dabao …'
"Should I get a suitcase like Newt?"
"Hmm … …"
"But Dumbledore wouldn't let me do that. Forget it, let's wait for the Pokeball!"
At this time, a bird's shadow passed over the castle. He had two letters in his mouth. One of them was from Blake.
Chapter 127:Isn't It The Forbidden Forest?(1)
2 days ago
At night, Blake stuffed his completed Transformation thesis into his bag. Then he stood up and prepared to go out.
"Blake? Where are you going?"
"I'm a little hungry. I'm going to the kitchen to find something to eat."
"Please bring me two pumpkin pies!"
"Me too, get a piece of fried steak! And two cups of pumpkin juice! "
"…"
"Thank you in advance, Blake!"
Under the grateful gazes of Blake's two lazy roommates in the dormitory. He left the dormitory.
Da Bao, on the other hand, turned over in his small bed and continued to sleep. In just a few days, it had been fed by the senior sisters in the academy …
Blake snapped his fingers when he walked out of the door.
"Pa!"
Beck's figure appeared in front of Blake.
"You should have heard what they want.
Beck nodded.
"Pretend to be a school elf and help them deliver some. I'm going out to do something."
"Yes, young master!"
Beck snapped his fingers and disappeared. Blake left the common room directly. Then, while the sky was not completely dark. He sneaked out of the castle quietly.
Because there was no curfew yet. So he was too lazy to be invisible. Anyway, Dumbledore knew that he often went to Hagrid for tea.
But he did want to go there for tea and ask Hagrid, the invisible tycoon, whether he had a unicorn horn. Because it was one of the necessary materials to make a lucky potion.
It was a core material needed to make a lucky potion and since it could be easily obtained in the Forbidden Forest, Blake planned to catch magical animals. Then he would collect it.
He had the second most troublesome Phoenix Tears. The only troublesome thing was the unicorn horn. He didn't want to kill a unicorn for it.
The unicorn horns on the Black market, a large part of it came from unicorns that died of natural causes. Of course, there were also poachers who directly killed unicorns and cut off their horns. But that kind of source was usually in Knockturn Alley.
Hagrid had been at Hogwarts for so many years so Blake was sure he must have seen a dead unicorn. It was even possible that he had a unicorn horn.
Of course, it wouldn't be surprising that he didn't. After all, he was a fierce person who could knit unicorn hair into a cushion or a rag. It was also possible that he didn't know or didn't care about the unicorn horns.
Blake didn't notice that he had just walked out of the castle gate when another figure also walked out.
"Hagrid!" Blake knocked on the door of Hagrid's hut.
Then Blake heard in Hagrid's hut that there was a hound barking. Hagrid opened the door.
"Ah! Blake! Come in!"
"Roar!"
Blake walked through the door and immediately saw the ferocious look on the hound's face. He ignored its barking and stroked the dog's head.
"Massage skill!"
"Woof!" the hound immediately lay on the ground. He was so happy that his dog eyes rolled back.
"Ooh … what is … this?"
Hagrid looked at his dog in surprise.
"I know a bit of magical animal massage techniques. Don't worry, it's just too happy. It'll be fine in a while." Blake said calmly.
"Ha! Is there such an interesting massage technique? Can you teach me?"
"Of course! Hagrid! We are good friends! "Blake said with a smile.
Then, Blake explained a little about how to use magic to make certain glands in the animal's body vibrate. Then he was interrupted by Hagrid, who was dizzy.
"Ah … This is too difficult. I don't think I can master it. You really have a lot of ways to deal with magical animals." Hagrid said as he continued to pour tea for Blake.
"It's all knowledge that I have read in books, and then I figured it out myself," Blake replied.
At this time, The hound finally got up. It obediently lay in front of Blake. Its tail was wagging like an electric fan.
"It seems that it likes you very much."
Blake smiled and rubbed the dog's head.
'What a joke, there is no small animal that can't be confused under my trick.'
"Woof Woof Woof!"
The hound, who was named, Yaya suddenly stood up. It barked at the window.
"Who is outside?!" Hagrid stood up and went to open the door.
"Oh … Cassandra, are you here for Blake?"
"Uh … Yes, she walked a little slowly so I arrived first."
Blake looked at Cassandra, who was embarrassed and decided to help her out.
"Oh … I see, then come in."
Cassandra blushed as she took the large teacup from Hagrid and sipped.
Blake felt that this teacup could be used as a washbasin for her …
Cassandra noticed the smile on Blake's face. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. Blake and Cassandra didn't stay for long.
They were sent out by Hagrid. Because in a while. The castle would have a curfew. If they went back late, it would be considered a night trip. It would be bad if they were caught by Filch.
Blake waved goodbye to Hagrid. He didn't get the unicorn horns from Hagrid. Because it was indeed as Blake guessed. He just buried those dead unicorns … and didn't bother to take off their horns …
Of course, Blake didn't want to dig up graves. Because too much time had passed. The horns on the unicorn corpses. If they weren't treated and protected. In the end, they would slowly lose their efficacy.
But Blake wasn't in a hurry. Because he originally wanted to gain the trust of the unicorns in the forbidden forest. He wanted to see if he could trick the unicorns to follow him.
While he was at it, he could trick one or two unicorn horns or something. In any case, the horns of unicorns could be removed while they were still alive.
Because unicorn horns were like human fingernails, they could be regenerated. It was just that no one could gain their trust.
In the worst case scenario, it didn't matter if he couldn't gain their trust. Blake could just subdue them with the Pokeball.
Of course, he could also buy it directly on the Black market. The unicorn horn on the market was a two-day gold coin. For Blake, it was just a small amount of money.
In other words, the horn of a unicorn was just one of the many goods that Blake planned to bring from the forbidden forest.
Blake glanced at Cassandra. "Why did you follow me out?"
Cassandra turned her head to the other side. "I didn't follow you out. Can't I visit Hagrid?"
"Of course you can." Blake didn't expose her thoughts.
"I'll send you back." Blake walked towards the castle.
"Hey! Did you really just want to ask Hagrid if she has unicorn horns? "
"Well, yes. I want to brew some Potion of Blessings," Blake said casually.
"Potion of Blessings?!" Cassandra looked at him speechlessly. "That's content that only sixth graders start to learn, right?"
Blake smiled. "It might be a little early for you, but for me, it's just right."
Cassandra looked at the smug Blake and gritted her teeth.
'So what if he was talented?! Can they do whatever they want just because they are talented?!
"You're already so powerful. Why are you still at Hogwarts?" Cassandra grumbled. This guy was too much of a blow to him.
"If I don't come to Hogwarts … My old man won't allow me to go anywhere else."
Cassandra knew he was talking about Dumbledore. But she could understand. Such a talented child. Of course, it was most reassuring to have him nurture under his nose.
Cassandra silently followed behind Blake. They were about to reach the castle gate when Cassandra suddenly stopped.
"Something's wrong!"
Chapter 128:Isn't It The Forbidden Forest?(2)
18 hours ago
Cassandra silently followed behind Blake. They were about to reach the castle gate when Cassandra suddenly stopped.
"Something's wrong!"
"What's wrong?"Blake smiled and turned around.
"You didn't just go to Hagrid's place for tea, did you? If I hadn't followed you out, would you still be heading to the forest?" Cassandra stared at Blake and asked.
Blake nodded. "Yeah, that's right. After I send you back, I'll go to the Forbidden Forest."
Cassandra looked at Blake in shock. Didn't this guy avoid people when he did bad things? She thought he would quibble a little.
"Uh, is there a problem? You don't have to worry about my safety. I have already gone in and come out. Blake said with a smile.
He didn't mean to hide it from Cassandra at all. Compared to the large pile of forbidden plants in the Room of Requirement, going to the Forbidden Forest was child's play.
Since Cassandra even knew about the Room of Requirement, then there was no need to hide it from her.
Of course, Blake did this because he wanted to get a Treasure Chest when she was caught off guard. Recently, everyone was a little numb.
'Maybe it's me, I might be the problem.'
Under the premise that he didn't cause any big trouble, it was difficult to get a high-quality treasure chest.
So Blake had to make a decision. He would wait for a while before doing something big.
It was a little too intense now. Everyone's emotions were no longer fluctuating. For example, the previous Phoenix incident. Blake had seen such a scene with his own eyes.
Young Wizard A: "Wow! Who is it? It is so awesome! He actually raised a Phoenix! "
Young Wizard B: "Blake!"
Young Wizard A: "Oh, him. Then it's okay. Let's just eat, let's eat … "
Just as the mood rose … The system didn't even have time to recognize it.
Then, his emotions went f * cking down … Where was the treasure chest? It was very depressing!
Blake admitted that he was going to the Forbidden Forest without warning. As expected, Cassandra contributed a silver treasure chest.
Blake said with satisfaction, "Let's go, I'll escort you back to the Slytherin common room."
Cassandra gritted her teeth. "I … I also want to go to the Forbidden Forest to take a look."
Blake looked Cassandra up and down in surprise. "Are you an undercover agent sent by Gryffindor to Slytherin?"
"Are you that brave? You're from Hufflepuff and you dare to talk about me?"
Blake shook his head, "No, no, it's inconvenient for me to bring you along."
Without Cassandra, he could turn into an animal and walk through the forest. But with Cassandra, his speed would be as slow as the ocean.
"Whatever you say, I didn't ask you to take me."
Cassandra turned and walked in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.
"Hey, if you can, I can too!"
"No, you can't."
"Yes, I can!"
"Okay … Then you go. I'll go first. "
After Blake finished speaking, he brushed past Kassandra and walked quickly to the Forbidden Forest.
"You …" Cassandra was dumbfounded.
She thought that Blake would try to persuade her or give in and bring her along. What … What does he think he is doing by leaving me behind?
'You … Do you really want me to go alone?'
Cassandra was taught a lesson by Blake.
"Damn it!" Kassandra looked at Blake's back angrily.
If it was another guy, he would definitely bring her along. But this guy! This guy just turned around and left! Doesn't he care about people at all!?
"You guy! Stop!" Cassandra angrily chased after him.
Blake accepted a golden treasure chest with satisfaction. Then he turned his head and smiled at Cassandra.
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? You just left me alone and went by yourself!"
"Yeah, what's the problem? Didn't you say that you don't have to follow me and you can do it by yourself?"
Blake patted Cassandra's shoulder and said with a firm look, "You said you can do it, but I believe you!"
"Come on! There's no danger in the Forbidden Forest, it's just that there are more eight-eyed giant spiders the size of carriages … "
After Blake finished speaking, he waved his hand.
He left Cassandra behind again and walked into the Forbidden Forest.
"You! Bastard! Stop right there! "
When Cassandra heard that there were eight-eyed giant spiders the size of carriages, her legs went soft.
Although she wanted to run back to the dormitory now, it was really annoying to be looked down upon by this guy!
Blake ignored the exasperated Cassandra behind him. He received another Golden Treasure Chest. His heart was filled with joy.
However, not long after, he heard another set of footsteps behind him. He turned his head to have a look. It was Cassandra.
Although her face was full of fear, her unyielding gaze was still very firm.
"Why are you following me? You can actually go in from the path over there."
Blake pointed to a small path over there. It was Hagrid's path. Generally speaking. It would be much safer to walk along that path.
"I … There's more than one path here. If you can walk this path, why can't I? What makes you think that I'm following you?"
Cassandra said stubbornly.
'Didn't you say you wouldn't bring me along? I'll just follow them myself! Let's see what you can do!'
When Blake heard this, he thought, 'Good heavens, are you trying to cheat?'
Then, the corners of his mouth curled up.
"You have a point. Then … goodbye."
Blake quickly turned and went to the bark of a big tree. Cassandra gritted her teeth and quickly followed. Then … There was nothing behind the big tree, and Blake was long gone!
"Hey! Come out! You … Where did you go? You … don't have to scare me!"
Cassandra suppressed her fear and searched for a long time. She didn't see Blake either. Although Cassandra had always been stubborn and competitive she was just a girl after all.
The Forbidden Forest after nightfall was pitch-black. It was gloomy everywhere.
Cassandra associated it with the terrible legends in the Forbidden Forest. Then she thought of what Blake had just said … An eight-eyed giant spider as big as a carriage!
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. In the dark forest around her. It seemed that a giant spider could jump out at any time!
Cassandra, who was getting more and more scared, couldn't hold it in anymore.
She turned around and wanted to run back to the castle.
What about the way back to the academy castle?
Because she had been looking for Blake for a long time. Then the night grew darker … She actually … got lost …
"Bastard … He is a bastard!"
Cassandra was so anxious that tears welled up in her big eyes.
"Don't … don't worry … Be … calm!"
Cassandra suppressed her fear and took out her wand.
She pulled out the wand and held it in her palm.
"Show me the way!"
The wand turned automatically and pointed to the north.
