Chapter 98 Rice’s actions
Daphne held the empty bottle and bit her lower lip tightly: she never expected that she would be blocked for such a ridiculous reason!
The people who arrived first drank the antidote, so the people who came later couldn't get in even if they solved the puzzle. This is ridiculous!
Looking at the flames blocking her way, she came up with a bold and crazy idea: Why not just take a gamble with a fireproof potion?
She can make potions, but she has no raw materials or tools.
Her fingers gripped the small bottle hard, and at this moment, she felt that there seemed to be some bulges on the bottle.
She picked up the bottle and found a line of words floating on the bottle: [There is no way to heaven, but there is a door to the earth]
Daphne squinted her eyes, put the bottle back on the table, and carefully observed the ground. Then she discovered that there was a floor tile under the table that didn't seem to be very flat?
She pressed a corner of the floor tile and lifted it open, exposing the contents inside: there was a set of cauldrons and a bag of potion raw materials.
Daphne took them out, and when she opened them, she knew immediately: these were all raw materials used to prepare fire-proof potions. She immediately started mixing the potion.
The amount of raw materials for the potion contained in the package was not large, and it was only enough for her to make one mistake at most. What's even worse is that this time she doesn't have the potion formula or precautions. All she can rely on is her brain and hands, but this does not affect Daphne's confidence at all. She even feels that the raw materials are given too much.
While Daphne was preparing the potion, a treatment was going on in the castle infirmary.
"Okay, Mr. Lint's condition has stabilized." After giving Les a dose of the potion he had just developed, Snape straightened up and told Professor McGonagall who was standing aside the good news. and Madam Pomfrey.
"So when will he wake up?" Madam Pomfrey observed Les's face and found that his complexion had indeed improved, and then she felt relieved. Now all she cared about was how long the little guy was going to stay in her hospital room.
A trace of imperceptible embarrassment flashed in Snape's eyes: According to his design, Les should have woken up at this moment, but he was still in a coma. It seems that there is room for further optimization of my magic potion.
Fortunately, the livid color on Les's face has faded, and the stiff muscles have relaxed. His condition is getting better. Les is no different from sleeping now. He didn't step forward to shake Les awake, just out of caution.
"The antidote is not a universal magic potion. The reasons why the little wizards in the school are poisoned are all kinds of strange." - This sentence resonated with Madam Pomfrey - "I think we just have to wait, Lint will be available at any time. He may wake up, it may be this afternoon, or it may take a few days, but no more than a week at the latest, but be prepared for him to miss the final exam."
"Then we will consider how many points we will deduct from him then." A smile appeared on Professor McGonagall's face.
Smiles are conserved. Professor McGonagall smiled, but Snape couldn't smile anymore.
He shook his robe, turned around, and strode out of the ward: he planned to go to the castle to catch a few Gryffindor students who violated school rules, strike first, and deduct points from them severely.
Snape left, and Professor McGonagall gave Madam Pomfrey a few words to inform her as soon as Les woke up, and then she also left. Madam Pomfrey lingered in the ward for a few minutes, then went to treat a new wave of students - this time fifth-year students suffering from hysteria due to the stress of studying for exams.
After the ward was completely empty, Les, who was lying on the hospital bed, slowly opened his eyes. He rolled over and sat up, stretching his muscles that were a little sore from lying flat for too long.
To be honest, it is much more difficult to prepare a potion that can cause you to show symptoms of poisoning, but will not actually kill you, than making a serious potion. The latter only needs to follow the magic potion recipe, but the former requires sufficient knowledge to create original works.
Rice did this for two reasons. First, in order to prevent the three candidates from having any external aid, Dumbledore wisely chose the "letter" escape. He did not have such a good excuse, so he could only use a "medicine" escape. The second is that he is the one who switched the magic stone and needs an alibi. Being hospitalized is very good proof. The two professors and Madam Pomfrey can all testify for themselves.
However, making an alibi does not mean that you really have to be absent.
Although the guardian levels previously arranged by Dumbledore were very "puzzling", the villain in the final level was still a bit dangerous. Les believed that with Daphne's strength and the props he left for her, it would be more than enough to deal with Quirrell, but it would be a bit difficult to deal with the guy behind Quirrell.
I have to go and take a look myself, in case something really goes wrong.
He believed that Dumbledore would also be watching Potter in the dark, so he had to make some extra preparations.
Les first opened the cabinet on the wall of the ward, took out a change of bedding, rolled them up and put them on his bed. Then he took out his wand and pointed at the rolled-up bedclothes, and the bedclothes changed into his appearance. This was not a simple transformation. The self transformed by Les using a quilt could even breathe and take medicine, which was enough to deceive Madam Pomfrey and the professors at the school.
After doing this, Les took out a small bottle from his arms, which contained some viscous liquid like mud - he had also prepared polyjuice potion before, and it came in handy now.
In order not to reveal his identity, Rice would not only wear a hood as a physical disguise, but he would also use Polyjuice Potion to be foolproof.
After groping for a long time in his small leather bag, Les found a small leather pouch containing several bundles of hair, each bundle of hair tied with a ribbon with Roman numerals on it.
Les selected a bunch of hair with the "XXV" mark, carefully took out a piece of hair, and put it into the polyjuice potion. After adding the hair, the polyjuice potion turned into a color of silver and green. After drinking it in one gulp, Les turned into a young man with black hair.
'Quite good, charming and charming. I made the right decision to leave some of my hair down. ’ After finding a mirror and looking at his own appearance in the mirror, Les showed a satisfied expression—he used the hair he had left when he was twenty-five years old.
When you become the 25-year-old you are, many things will be much easier to do.
After casting a disguise spell on himself, Les walked out of the ward and went straight to the fourth floor of the castle.
