Chapter 42 Research

Saturday afternoon, Snape's office!

"Come on! Cast 'Expecto Patronus'!" Snape ordered expressionlessly.

"Call for Guardian", Wright's happy memory was extracted! The magic wand was waved, and the silver light dots fluttered and turned into a flying bird-shaped phantom!

"It hasn't materialized! Haven't you practiced during this period?" Snape's tone was filled with dissatisfaction!

"I've been studying the notes given by the professor, which are a bit profound! I've just barely finished learning them and don't have much time to practice magic!" Wright sincerely asked for forgiveness!

Snape reluctantly agreed with Light's statement, "Hmph! Take it. Today's task is to improve the potion formula!" Snape threw a potion to Light.

"Professor, I've only been studying with you for over a month. Isn't it a bit too fast?" Wright took the formula in a hurry.

"Ha! If you've studied with me for a month and you still can't adjust the formula yourself, then all your learning has been in vain!" Snape looked at Wright who was looking at the formula with dissatisfaction.

"It's the original formula of the 'de-swelling agent'! It has been modified a lot, and the one sold on the market now basically adds moongrass to enhance the de-swelling effect."

"The professor still doesn't have enough confidence in me!" Wright was not so nervous after reading the formula!

"The improved formula is not a simple enumeration. I don't have so many materials to waste on you. You only have three chances." Snape said to Wright seriously.

"It doesn't take three times, I have a rough idea!" Wright said and started heating the crucible and processing the raw materials.

Snape looked at Light's skillful movements, his eyes flashing with relief! Then he frowned again! "Why do you have to do this? What's the point of adding the spores of the sun mushroom?"

"Professor! I'm done!"

While Snape was still deducing Light's actions in his mind, he heard the sound of the potion being completed.

Snape lowered his index finger from his forehead and looked up at Wright, who was holding a bottle of bubbling black potion.

"This is it! What did you improve?" Snape took the potion and took it for testing!

"Improve its taste and flavor! I reduced the potency of the drug to one percent, leaving only the stimulation and numbness that comes with drinking it!"

"So..." Snape stopped testing his hand!

"Yes, this is a drink! I call it Fat House Happy Water, it will bring happiness to those who drink it!" Wright smiled heartily and gave a thumbs up.

"It's true..." After testing the potion, Snape, holding the black bubbling potion in his hand, was almost laughing out of anger!

"Very good, you have a lot of ideas! This way the difficulty of preparation is reduced to a minimum! The texture and taste are also very good! It is really very good." Under Light's eager gaze, Snape picked up the happy water, took a sip, and savored it!

"But this also means that the formula can be easily imitated! And the value of the potion is not proportional to the benefits! It causes a huge waste!" Snape put down the happy water in his hand and gave his evaluation.

"But it's still worth improving! It's a very good finished product! Do you have any ideas for further improvements?" I don't know if it was because he was worried about offending Wright, but Snape rarely showed a sharp tongue towards Wright.

"I think I have it. I plan to change the raw materials to ones that are cheap enough. Or make it into a high-concentration puree and then dilute it with water!" Wright scratched his head and expressed his thoughts.

"Not bad, there aren't too many mistakes in the direction and ideas!"

Next, Snape began to discuss with Light how to improve the formula of Fat House Happy Water.

From raw materials to techniques, and then to more refined proportions!

"Thank you very much, professor!" Wright put away the notebook filled with various data.

"You go back first! It's getting late!" Snape sat on a high-back chair, rubbed his forehead with his right hand, looked at the sky outside and said to Wright.

"Professor, I actually have another question! Can I ask you?" Wright sat opposite Snape with a serious face.

"What's the problem? Tell me!" Seeing that Light was so serious, Snape sat up straight and looked back at him seriously.

"The book you gave me described a concept that connects the soul and the body through blood. The combination of soul and body will generate blood (vitality)."

"Then can I also understand that magic is actually derived from the overlap of the soul and something else?" Wright took out a notebook full of complicated patterns and handed it to Snape.

"So you have been studying this these days?" Snape picked up the notebook and read it carefully.

The only sound in the silent office was the occasional sound of turning pages.

"The birth of magic is the overlap of soul and spirit! Very good idea! It seems that you have thoroughly read all the books I gave you!" Snape closed the notebook in his hand, put it on the table, and tapped his right fingers, as if thinking about something.

After a long time, the knocking sound on the table stopped, and Snape raised his hands, interlaced his fingers to cover his mouth, and said his conclusion in a very serious tone.

"In fact, I have had this idea and have tried it, but it all failed! I kept stimulating the Muggles' spirits, but I couldn't awaken their magic! I also destroyed the connection between the soul and the spirit, and all I got was a living dead!"

"And I have also studied many magical creatures. Their spirits are extremely weak and cannot be compared with wizards at all, but they still have magical powers. They are even better than wizards in casting spells or physically."

Wright looked at Snape, who was like Commander Ikari, also hidden in the darkness! Hearing his plain words, he could smell the bloody smell that could not be concealed.

"Those you study should only be magical creatures, right?" Wright asked with a trembling voice, his hands clenched slightly under the table.

"The experiment requires sacrifice! And there are not just magical creatures involved!" Snape slowly lowered his head, and the hand that had originally covered his mouth now rested on his forehead.

"I understand! Thank you very much!" After saying that, Wright was about to get up and leave.

"Wait a minute, take this too! Since you have ideas in this regard, this information will help you." Snape picked up the wand, a light flashed, and a thick document appeared on the table.

"This is... Thank you very much, professor!" Wright hesitated for a moment, then reached out and held the information in his arms!

"Okay, let's go back! It's too late!" Snape stood up with his wand in his hand and said in a slightly tired voice.

"Okay, I'll go back first. Good night, Professor." Light bowed to Snape and turned to leave the office.

Snape stood in the office, looking at Wright as he left with a deep gaze.

The moonlight outside the castle shone through the window onto Wright, making his shadow very long.

As he walked on the road, Wright lowered his head, looking at the research materials in his arms that were piled up by countless lives, and said with a wry smile: "I think I have inherited all of Snape's legacy!"
