Chapter 225 Inhibitors and Werewolves

Since the blood curse allows wizards to transform into beasts by reorganizing cells, this process can be blocked and the phenomenon of beast transformation can be suppressed.

As long as the potion works properly, the effect of blood magic on red blood cells can be minimized or even completely eliminated.

Based on the two abnormal indicators of coagulation factors and inflammatory proteins in his analysis results, Rogge decided to develop a potion to counteract the effects of the blood curse.

It was my first time to construct a brand new potion, so I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Not to mention, he also designed two different formulas to counteract the effects of the blood curse.

The first formula has a strong anticoagulant effect, using salamander liver, volcanic rock sulfur, snapdragon juice and wolfsbane juice as the main raw materials, supplemented by moongrass extract to enhance the potion's activity.

In Rogge's formula, the preparation of this powerful anticoagulant is very complicated, requires a long brewing cycle, and must be prepared at a specific time.

Many precious potions in the magic world require very harsh brewing conditions. They are even like alchemy, requiring attention to the right time and place.

Thunderstorm, calm wind, full moon...many conditions are very difficult to achieve. This also makes the corresponding potions very rare and extremely expensive.

In your own plan, you need to stir together the four ingredients first. Then, on a windless night, grind it into a powder.

The growth cycle of moon grass also has requirements, and it is best to mature during the full moon. In this way, the magic power of moongrass is the most sufficient, which can ensure that the anticoagulant can protect blood cells to the greatest extent and block the effect of the blood curse.

The entire preparation process takes one and a half months, and no mistakes can be made during this period, otherwise the entire potion must be prepared again. In addition, windless nights are also an uncontrollable factor and depend on natural conditions.

Once you miss it, it depends on whether God will reward you or not.

In comparison, the other potion is relatively easy to configure. It does not require harsh environmental conditions, as long as the potion master is highly skilled.

As for the standard of superb skills, you must be a high-level potion master no matter what. Without the skills and experience of a senior potions master, configuring it is a waste of time and money.

Rogge named it iron chelator, which is a magic potion that requires a large amount of raw materials containing metal elements to prepare.

Its main ingredient is tungsten chrysanthemum petals, which contain natural organic chelates. Basalt powder also has hard requirements and requires iron-containing igneous rocks so that the potion can better protect red blood cells.

Other than these two, everything else is easy to find. For example, fresh grass juice can be prepared by first-year students at Hogwarts.

The only downside to iron chelators is that they are expensive, as a pinch of phoenix feathers needs to be added in the final stages. Use the characteristics of the Phoenix to rise from the ashes to achieve the magic potion's leaping effect.

Rogge just did what he said, these raw materials were all in the box. Especially the phoenix tail feathers, he almost sells them all in Diagon Alley.

After all, the Phoenix known to the wizarding world is in Hogwarts, and the source of all supplies is the principal himself. If Dumbledore disappeared one day and the Phoenix disappeared, who would he look for to buy this precious magical raw material?

Thinking of this, Rogge couldn't help but envy the Dumbledore family. The phoenix that other wizards couldn't get had actually reached a contract with them.

Rogge also knew that envy was useless and could only hope that there were other lone phoenixes that had not been discovered.

He lit the magic fire and placed the silver cauldron. Add the petals of the chrysanthemum flower, basalt powder and sufficient white grass juice into it, and cook until the decoction becomes thick.

Then, he waved his wand and stirred the liquid in the crucible 50 times in a clockwise direction. Finally, it needs to be heated at low temperature. This is also the time to put in the phoenix feathers.

As a dazzling bloody light emerged from the crucible, an endless rolling mist lingered on it. That rush of vitality can speed up the blood flow in your body even if the iron chelate has not been fully prepared.

Rogge couldn't help but blush, and his whole body felt hot. His body seemed to have endless power, waiting for him to vent it.

Who said the flag will automatically be raised in the morning? You can also brew potions!

Rogge lowered his head and suddenly had a bold idea. If the iron chelator is modified, just a little phoenix tail feather can be used to create a medicine that promotes blood circulation, softens and dilates blood vessels.

To put it bluntly, this potion is similar to Muggle sildenafil (Viagra), but its effect is countless times more powerful. Is this thing sold to Muggles no better than the so-called special cold medicine?

Not to mention softening blood vessels, just raising the flag can be called a miracle medicine.

Unfortunately, the International Magical Federation and Dumbledore are very strict. Magical things must not be accessible to Muggles, so as not to reveal the existence of the wizarding world.

All that's left to do is let the liquid in the crucible cool overnight. When the fog above the liquid dissipates tomorrow morning, the iron chelator will be available.

Rogge stared at the potion in the crucible with satisfaction. Although he still didn't know how effective it was, the changes in the entire potion were exactly as he expected. Only the final effect needs further verification.

Snape once warned himself that if the potion master cannot fully control the entire preparation process, then the potion he makes will be poison.

Because he didn't know which stage was problematic and whether the effects of the finished potion contained special side effects. All changes have their essential principles. To blame it on the mystery of magic is nothing more than a lack of skill on the part of the potion master.

While arranging the workbench, Rogge reviewed the formula and brewing process of the potion.

So far, the iron chelators in the Crucible have been successful. The only pity is that even if the expected effect is achieved, it only treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. Both it and the powerful anticoagulant inhibit and block the effects of the blood curse, but do not remove the curse from its root cause.

This kind of weird blood magic is really unpredictable.

"Blood magic? Werewolves are also transformed by blood magic. Why can they return to their human state?" Rogge frowned, thinking of Lupin.

If he remembered correctly, Snape would brew wolfsbane potion for Lupine to keep him sane after his transformation.

This shows that even the teacher's potion skills cannot stop the power of the full moon. We can only do the next best thing and prevent him from becoming a beast.

"Is the power of the full moon so powerful? Or is it that the werewolf factor in the blood can only be activated by the full moon?" Rogge sat on the chair, opened his book and looked through the previous research records.

Snape had given him some werewolf samples to combine with his current research. Rogge has reason to believe that the transformation process of werewolves is similar to that of blood orcs.

Both build new bodies by breaking down cells and then reorganizing them under the power of magic. The difference is that the werewolf requires a full moon and will turn into a bloodthirsty madman.

"Since the magic of the full moon is so powerful, why can't Nagini use it?" Rogge praised his genius idea.

He has reason to believe that there must be a specific "switch" in the werewolf's body that can only be triggered by a full moon. Whether this switch is a curse or a virus, given the contagious nature of werewolves, it means it could be transplanted to other wizards.

This idea excited Rogge: "If I could find it and deconstruct it into a spell, a rune, or even a curse. I could cast a spell on Nagini!"

Rogge felt more and more that this plan was feasible. Lupine transformed into a magical creature only because of the full moon.

It can be used in reverse on Nagini to transform her from a blood monster back into a wizard. After all, wizards are also magical creatures.

The wizard who cast the curse on Nagini's ancestors could never be stronger than the full moon. Especially considering that through generations of inheritance, the blood curse in Nagini's body has been weakened countless times.

The only problem is that he needs to study the werewolf's blood in order to find the so-called switch.

It would be best if a werewolf was willing to cooperate with him, and he would even need a complete, transformed werewolf corpse.

"Lupin?" Rogge closed his eyes slightly and muttered the new teacher's name.

At this time, Lupine, who had just returned to England, suddenly sneezed. He felt a chill on his back, as if someone was staring at him.

Lupine glanced around carefully, but could not find any wizards who had any ill intentions toward him.

"Maybe it's my imagination..." Lupine said to himself, carrying the old suitcase and rushing to London.

Rogge was a little hesitant about whether to use him as an experimental sample, especially in Hogwarts. To be on the safe side, it's more cost-effective to use other werewolves. Low risk and difficult to detect.

Especially nowadays, Eastern Europe is very chaotic and human trafficking is commonplace. Catching some werewolves can also contribute to the magical world. It's time to contact Alexander.
