Chapter 179
"So you can make magic props this way?" Fred touched his chin, "It's really eye-opening!"
"Replacing this material with wicker to increase the flexibility of the teacup itself is really a genius idea!" George said with emotion, "Vizet, where on earth do you know so much?"
Vizet simply summarized: "There are many sources, various notes, and the restricted book area..."
"Restricted book area?" George scratched his head, "We have been there several times before, but the books inside are too mixed... It's really troublesome to find them!"
"This is the difference between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw." Fred said with a smile, "Vizet is one of us anyway, just ask him directly if you have any questions!"
-------------------------------------
The "Magic Cube Theory" provided by Vizet, plus the production method in that memory, combined with Fred and George's ancestral production skills, significantly reduced the production cost of the nose-biting teacup.
The Weasley twins understood the principle of small profits but quick turnover, and also lowered the corresponding selling price.
What they value is to open up the market so that other students will think of them first when they want to buy a nose-biting teacup. This is the long-term solution.
Vizet will also participate in the production of magic props to accumulate experience and wait for the full moon to come.
Unknowingly, a week passed.
Vizet brought a mandrake leaf to the astronomical tower.
He was lucky. The night sky was clear, the bright moon was very round, and he could also see the Europa through the telescope.
When he took out the mandrake leaf, the surface of the mandrake actually had a layer of soft gauze-like luster.
It was as if the moon was attracted and sprinkled moonlight on the mandrake leaf...
Chapter 123 The Wonderful Mandrake Leaf
Vizet looked at the Animagus Notebook again to make sure that every detail on it was correct with what he had written down.
Then he began to relax his body and mind, chose a more comfortable standing posture, and then reorganized the soul maze, transforming the original maze into a wall, leaving a wide road leading directly to the depths of the soul.
The complete cycle of Animagus is a bit long. He didn't want to make mistakes in the middle of the first step because of the omission of details, which would affect the whole process and waste time.
Taking a deep breath, Vizette picked up the mandrake leaf, looked at the luster on the leaf, and put it directly into his mouth.
According to the description of the Animagus Notes, when the mandrake leaf comes into contact with the mouth, there will be an extremely slow change process.
First, you will feel the smell of green grass, and then you will feel a very slight dizziness, which is probably similar to the feeling of "blurring your eyes".
However, Vizette didn't feel any of the above-mentioned feelings.
He experienced the feeling of rapid weightlessness as if he entered the meditation basin.
It was as if he had become that mandrake leaf, appeared on the periphery of the soul wall, and then floated on the wide road until it reached the depths of the soul.
Everything around him seemed to have changed, which was somewhat similar to the scene seen by the magic eye, but it had a unique and wonderful feeling in front of him.
Vizette felt a painting appear in front of him, a very famous painting - "Starry Night".
The moon and stars in the sky became extremely exaggerated, showing a bright yellow color, and seemed to be rotating and flashing with a certain rhythm.
The originally dark night sky also became different, as if it was a collision of dark blue and crimson purple, with those rotating stars and moons as the center, rotating back and forth slowly, either forward or reverse...
Vizet studied with Professor Snape and had seen many kinds of potions;
He also tasted the effects of potions under the care of Professor Snape, and then deduced the possible ingredients;
In this process, he naturally came into contact with potions such as hallucinogens, so Vizet knew very well that the scene in front of him at this time was not the effect of taking hallucinogens.
Combined with the knowledge he has mastered, it is speculated that with the help of the young mandrake leaves, he can increase his perception of the surrounding environment, thus achieving an effect similar to the magic eye;
Related content is actually mentioned sporadically in Lockhart's works;
Lockhart seems to really understand the mandrake, but it is limited to theoretical understanding;
Otherwise, he would not be so careless, because the young mandrake fainted due to crying and was sent to the school hospital;
…
In addition to the change in vision, the leaf that seemed to drift to the depths of the soul is also changing.
It fell on the soul wall, and the soul wall loosened, and a bud tip emerged, which quickly combined with the mandrake leaf;
After the two combined, a strong vitality was born, and it continued to grow upward, extending branches and growing new leaves...
Finally, the mandrake leaf and the bud tip grew together, and a new mandrake grew.
Vizet could clearly feel that this new mandrake contained not only the original mandrake leaf, but also his soul.
However, the boundary between the two is somewhat blurred. As the mandrake enters true maturity, it quickly sheds its leaves and withers, with its branches and leaves sinking into the soil together and disappearing without a trace.
As the branches and leaves sink into the soil and disappear, the starry sky in the field of vision also returns to normal;
Not only did the mandrake in his soul disappear, but also the mandrake in his mouth disappeared, turning into a slightly grassy liquid that slowly spread in his mouth and integrated into his body.
After the whole process was over, even though Wizette felt such a gorgeous and different starry sky, he didn't feel the slightest bit tired, but instead became energetic.
He closed his eyes and thought about it, feeling as if he had drank a soul soothing agent and had a good sleep again.
Vizette frowned slightly, picked up the Animagus notebook and flipped through it again.
"It's completely different from the early situation in that notebook. However, from the subsequent description, I can find some similarities... How could such a thing happen?"
The night was long, and before the full moon was over, he planned to try again.
Fortunately, Sprout cultivated enough mandrakes, and Weizet also kept a lot of leaves in his hands just in case.
"Here comes the mandrake blade!" He waved his wand and summoned another blade into his hand.
The second time I tried it, I still strictly followed the steps in the notes, and the same thing happened.
As the two mandrake blades integrated into his body, he felt more energetic now and his mind seemed to be brighter.
He wanted to speculate on what caused the Mandrake to be directly digested based on the knowledge he had previously acquired.
Weizet thought as he went downstairs, thinking about the possibilities.
The first thing he thought of was the soul. As a kind of ritual magic, Animagus required catalysis through a variety of materials and a long period of time to protect oneself and understand the soul.
Only by having an in-depth understanding of one's own soul can one ensure to the greatest extent that when the Animagus transforms, it will not lose its soul and become half human and half beast.
He returned to Hogwarts Castle and knocked on the door of Professor McGonagall's office.
"Professor McGonagall, are you there?"
Professor McGonagall was still wearing dark green robes, with a hairnet tied behind her head.
The first thing she said when she opened the door was: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Wizette nodded, "Something strange did happen, so I came here to find you. I didn't disturb your rest, right?"
"Of course not." Professor McGonagall's lips showed an inconspicuous arc, "I have told you before that if you encounter any problems, you can come to me as soon as possible."
"Tonight is a full moon..." She looked sideways at the window behind her, "Does something feel wrong? The night sky tonight is very good, it should be very suitable for the first step."
"Yes, it's very suitable!" Wizer nodded. "There are not many clouds in the sky, so we can bathe in the moonlight as much as possible, and we can also see Europa."
"I followed the content in the notes, first relaxing my body and mind, and then letting go of all inner defenses. When everything was ready, I removed the mandrake blades..."
Listening to Weizet's description, Professor McGonagall's expression became serious again, her lips pursed tightly.
Her eyes were shining, and she adjusted her glasses from time to time, as if she was thinking about something.
After all, what happened to Weizet tonight was just as special as him.
At least in Professor McGonagall's impression, no wizard would have the mandrake turn directly into liquid and melt in the mouth when taking the first step...
Chapter 124 Unseasonably Good Weather
Despite this, Professor McGonagall quickly gave an explanation based on his professional knowledge: "Vizet, you have taken the lead in understanding your own soul through the Patronus Charm."
"This is extremely rare... It can even be said to be unprecedented. Very few wizards will have a true understanding of the soul at this age."
"In addition, there are very few wizards who would start practicing Animagus at this age... You are definitely a special case!"
"So that's it." Weizet nodded, and Professor McGonagall's words confirmed his guess.
Because I have acquired new knowledge, I will come up with new guesses, and the professor will explain and then verify my guesses...
This is a process of learning and feedback, which can show that what you have learned is not memorized by rote, but truly applied in practice.
He continued: "Because I was the first to understand the soul, the mandrake blades no longer protect the soul for me, and then transform into nourishing the soul..."
"That's right!" Professor McGonagall nodded. What Weizet said was exactly what she planned to continue.
"Professor McGonagall, does this mean we need to change our thinking?" Weizet asked, "Do I need to re-establish a line of defense outside the soul to create the illusion that I don't understand the soul?"
"Rebuilding a defense outside the soul?" Professor McGonagall blinked, "You... learned Occlumency from Professor Snape?"
Wizette shook his head, "It was Mr. Aberforth Dumbledore. He taught me a simple way to get started."
"When I have almost mastered that method, then I will be taught Occlumency. I am still in the process of practicing it."
"Aberforth..." Professor McGonagall adjusted her glasses, with a hint of surprise in her tone.
Unexpectedly, Dumbledore actually asked Aberforth to teach him the Labyrinth of Souls.
There are too many unexplainable grievances between the Dumbledore brothers to be able to reach a consensus on this matter...
At least it is certain that Vizette's identity as the Silent One played a great role in promoting the cause.
