Chapter 132 Half-human, half-snake soul

Pushing the body of Damocles aside, Rice sat on the stool and began to sort out some of the fragmented memories he had just spied on.

There is no doubt that Damocles was an excellent pharmacist, and there was never a shortage of people coming to his clinic for medical advice.

Once, a monk who claimed to be a secret cult came to him and asked him for seventeen kinds of magic potions, including the extremely difficult to make elixir. The reward he provided was only a piece of paper said to be leftover from the Middle Ages. The broken pages of the potion book came down, and Damocles was asked to cooperate with them in swearing not to reveal anything about them and the broken pages to anyone else.

This deal sounds quite unequal, but just a few sentences transcribed at the beginning of the broken page aroused Damocles' interest, prompting him to accept the deal and spend a full day. It took years to put together the seventeen kinds of magic potions.

This fragment of page inspired him to prepare the wolfsbane potion.

Shortly after the Wolfsbane potion was made, Mr. Greengrass came to the door. According to Damocles' design, if Astoria could be cured, he would try his best to cure it. If he couldn't, he would prescribe her a placebo to improve her physical signs - he felt that he couldn't even cure it. The disease cannot be cured by other pharmacists, doctors and nurses, so it is better to make the little girl live more comfortably.

But regardless of whether Astoria can be cured or not, Damocles will not initially make money from the Greengrass family. He will use the Greengrass family's influence to promote his own wolfsbane potion. After he became famous, won awards, and gained both fame and fortune, he would then squeeze money from Mr. Henry.

This is what Rice concluded after sorting through the fragments of memory.

Another secret order!

He couldn't help rubbing his chin, stealing divine bones, assisting in the development of wolfsbane potion, and spending "heavy sums" to collect intelligence on the magic world. This organization seems to be very unfriendly to wizards!

At this time, Les was completely concerned about the organization of the Secret Order.

He stood up from his stool and began to clean up Damocles' house.

As a famous pharmacist, Damocles lived in a place that did not match his status - he lived in a rather desolate apartment on the outskirts of London.

The outer walls of the apartment have fallen off and been replaced by various graffiti. Not a single piece of glass in the corridor is intact. The best facilities in the building are the doors of each house. Although they are a little broken and old, they are still a bit old. Still works.

Who would have thought that a pharmacist would live in an apartment like this?

Under the influence of magic, the space in the apartment is much larger than it looks from the outside, but it is also occupied by a large number of books and newspapers. The only place that can be called tidy is his study room, where many of his books are placed on the shelves. notes and letters.

Searching such a place is obviously very time-consuming and laborious for ordinary people.

But Les had a way of playing tricks on him, and he spread his domain, and soon the entire apartment was enveloped in steam and the floor turned into a swamp of mud.

Les was immersed in it, everything in the apartment enveloped in his perception.

Gulu gulu...

Several pamphlets surfaced, which are all Damocles' notes about the Wolfsbane potion.

Considering that Damocles said that he did not make the potion formula public, and the Secret Order only had the incomplete manuscript, this is the only remaining method of making wolfsbane potion in the world.

Rice picked up the notes and pondered for a moment. Instead of destroying them, he put them away - he felt that this potion could be used in new ways after his own improvements.

There was no trace of the Secret Order in the remaining documents, and they were all worthless things in Rice's eyes. Damocles also did not store the raw materials for potions in his home, which made Les a little disappointed.

Standing on the ground again, Les closed his own domain. The water vapor in the air gradually dissipated, and the swamp on the ground returned to the appearance of the floor.

Although the recipe for the Wolfsbane potion had been taken away by Les, he decided to destroy the entire apartment to eliminate all traces of it.

"Although I'm good at water, it doesn't mean I can't use fire." A spark of fire jumped up from Les's fingertips.

…

"Yesterday evening, a gas explosion occurred on Whitesabel Street in London, killing at least one person. According to witnesses, the explosion occurred at around 6 o'clock in the evening. The fire was fierce and smoke was billowing. The surrounding buildings and streets were affected in different ways. A huge amount of damage, a mess...——"

Uncle Vernon snorted and changed the channel.

"Those slum pipes are as rotten as cookies. I'm not surprised there would be an explosion there. By the way, Penny, please remember to send that kid some food. Don't let that guy give it to our house." ”

The "boy" Uncle Vernon is talking about is of course his "good" nephew Harry Potter. He is currently confined to a room on the second floor by Vernon because one of Uncle Vernon's big clients is visiting the house. At that moment, a basin of cake floated to the customer's head and was then buckled down.

Uncle Vernon missed the chance of financial freedom because of this, and Harry was happy to mention the confinement for a summer vacation, even though he repeatedly emphasized that it was not his doing.

Aunt Petunia snorted and reluctantly brought Harry food.

However, ordinary confinement cannot stop Harry's return to the wizarding world. A few hours later, a flying car hovered outside the second-floor window of the Dursley's house, pulled down the security window, and drove away with Harry.

Harry spent the rest of the summer at the Weasleys'. This is very similar to Les, who has been living at Greengrass Manor during the summer.

On the night when Les visited Damocles' house, Mr. Henry couldn't wait to apply the potion that Les gave to his baby girl. Then he saw an unforgettable sight: a white mist floated from her forehead. Come out and gradually gather into shape at the head of the bed.

However, what is shocking is that what condensed out of the mist is a half-human, half-snake monster!

The monster's upper body looks like Astoria, which looks cute and cuddly, but the girl's lower legs are replaced by a snake's tail. The soul manifested by Astoria not only has a weird shape, but the overall color is also very bad. Most of it is white, but it is also dotted with many ugly black stains - the blood curse not only pollutes the soul, but also As it continues to expand and grow, one day, Astoria's soul will completely transform into a snake.

Just one look at it and you'll understand how tricky Astoria's current situation is. Even Les was secretly shocked: Astoria's physical condition was worse than he had imagined.

Looking at the appearance of his daughter's soul, Mr. Henry was speechless for a long time as if he was under a petrification spell. It wasn't until Les promised to help find a solution and a healing potion that he forced a smile and told Les not very hopeful. Thank you very much.
