#158 - Poison? Potion?

Mayer Castle was a luxurious castle built by the Bailey family over thirty years.

The castle was not only equipped with a private waterway and a large berth,

but also had a wide road built in the other direction that could accommodate five carriages at the same time.

And the castle also had a very large horse farm and farm outside.

It was also the first time Moon had seen such a large castle, which was larger than some small cities.

Even the area of Hogwarts Castle was far smaller than this huge gray-white castle in front of him.

If you add the Forbidden Forest and the Black Lake, it might be comparable.

When Moon got off the Crimson Moon, he only brought Zalan and Chris.

The three of them followed Downs to a luxurious reception room in the castle.

After waiting for a while, the Bailey family came out to meet them.

"Are you the potion master Downs found?"

The person who came was a middle-aged man with rare white-gold hair, distinct facial lines, and deep, sharp black eyes.

When Moon saw the person coming, he didn't pay much attention to his appearance, but looked at the wizard bar on top of his head.

Two bars.

This was the longest wizard bar Moon had seen in the current world in recent times.

However, the other party's eyes towards Moon didn't seem very friendly.

Moon didn't care, he stood up and looked at the other party.

"That's right, it's me."

After Moon answered, the blond magician took a deep breath and stared at Moon.

"Your age makes it hard to believe that you are a qualified potion master."

"I know, so I came in person."

After hearing Moon's words, the middle-aged magician, who originally had a trace of sorrow on his face, rarely showed a smile.

"It seems you are very confident, young man, I am Ryan Bailey, representing the entire Bailey family to welcome you."

,

The Bailey family's own magician, which made Moon understand the questions he had on the road.

In the current world, the boundary between magicians and ordinary people is not so obvious.

There is also no similar "International Wizard Secrecy Law".

And the Bailey family's business is so big, and it also involves magical herbs and plants.

If it is an ordinary family, it is obviously impossible to do it, not to mention the need to painstakingly protect the property.

But if there are magicians in this family, and their strength is not low, then all of this can be explained.

"You can call me Moon, or Scarlett."

Moon also nodded to the other party.

"Okay, Mr. Scarlett, although I don't know what your potion level is, this involves the safety of my niece's life, so I hope to test your ability."

Moon had actually expected the other party to have this requirement.

After all, it concerns a person's life, and his age is indeed very young.

"Okay, do you want to see the potions I have refined, or do you want to check my ability to refine potions?"

Moon was not afraid of any test. In his opinion, the magic of Hogwarts was obviously more powerful than most wizards in this world.

"Now I'm a little convinced that you really can make potions."

Ryan Bailey said, waved his hand to signal the servant to come up, and after giving a sentence, he looked at Moon again.

"Mr. Scarlett, if you don't mind, I hope to test both of the things you just said. Of course, the Bailey family will also offer a sincerity that will satisfy you."

After Ryan finished speaking, the servant who had just left had already returned to the reception room with a tray.

"This is a gift from our Bailey Chamber of Commerce to our magician friends. With this, you can get a 10% discount on all items purchased within the Chamber of Commerce."

Ryan said, picking up a black circular iron card from the tray.

"Of course, all the materials for your potion refining this time will be provided by us, and the refining fee will be paid double."

After listening to Ryan's explanation, Moon understood why this family's business could be so big.

Not only do they have strength, but they are also willing to provide convenience to all magicians.

This invisibly adds invisible strength to the Bailey family.

For Moon, according to the Bailey family's approach, they must know a lot of magicians and have a lot of magical information, which is exactly what Moon needs most now.

"Okay, this is a hemostatic potion I refined, you can test it first."

Moon said, taking a hemostatic potion he had refined when he came from Chris's hand.

After Ryan took it, he opened the bottle cap and observed it carefully.

"Hmm~, this seems to be just an ordinary hemostatic potion."

Ryan said, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

His niece is now deeply poisoned, and he has also found two wizards who are proficient in potion refining, but they are all helpless.

Now Moon only took out an ordinary hemostatic potion, which made him even more disappointed.

According to what Ryan himself knew, the two wizards who were proficient in potions that he had found had mastered at least seven or eight kinds of potion refining techniques.

And this kind of hemostatic potion is just the lowest level for them.

"It is a hemostatic potion, but it shouldn't be ordinary."

Moon was very clear about the efficacy of the potion he refined, and this potion was far more effective than its original version.

Even in the world where Hogwarts is located, Moon has never heard of a similar hemostatic potion.

Of course, the ability to produce this effect should have a lot to do with Moon combining the materials and techniques of the two worlds to refine it.

After hearing Moon's explanation, Ryan couldn't help but be a little curious.

He gave the servant next to him a wink.

The servant immediately understood and stretched out his index finger, using his sharp nails to draw a long line in the palm of his hand.

When Zalan saw this scene, his eyes couldn't help but narrow.

He knew that a person who could easily draw a bloodstain in his palm must be an expert.

Moon was actually very curious when he saw this scene, because he knew that the servant in front of him did not have a wizard bar.

And he was able to do this easily, he should have mastered some special force technique.

Just like [Night Owl] when dodging flying arrows, he can twist his body to an extent that ordinary people cannot do.

This was the second time Moon had seen the abilities possessed by ordinary people.

Moon had already tested the efficacy of the positive blood potion, so he was not afraid of any accidents.

But Ryan couldn't help but take a deep breath after seeing the potion heal the wound so quickly.

"Hiss~! The efficacy is indeed not ordinary, Mr. Scarlett, I wonder if you have more of this potion on you? Our Bailey Chamber of Commerce is willing to buy it all, you set the price."

"I'm very sorry, the refining of this potion requires the Selma flower of the tribe, and I don't have much stock on me now."

Moon was telling the truth, he now only had enough Selma flower powder to support the refining of three bottles of potion.

And he planned to keep these three bottles for his own use, after all, they also had a group of people on board who often needed to use knives.

"Selma flower? Our Bailey Chamber of Commerce seems to have it."

Moon said that the refining of the hemostatic potion required Selma flower, in fact, he also wanted to find out whether the Bailey Chamber of Commerce had this herb.

After all, the Bailey Chamber of Commerce has a large business on the Vena Islands, and most of the tribesmen are concentrated on this archipelago. Moon guessed that there should be some intersection between the two sides.

"The tribesmen release ten Selma flowers every year, and our Bailey Chamber of Commerce is very honored to receive three of them each year."

"Only three?"

"That's right, in fact, three is already a lot, after all, the yield of this flower is not high."

Hearing Moon's curious inquiry, Ryan patiently explained.

"The tribesmen on the Vena Islands are actually divided into factions. Xingjin Island has the largest number of tribesmen. There are three tribes on it..."

The Bailey family's business involves many aspects, including a lot of interaction with the tribesmen, so they know a lot about the tribesmen.

There are three tribes on Xingdao Island.

One is the Star Glow Tribe, which worships the stars, one is the Spirit Tree Tribe, which believes in the sacred tree, and the other is the Hailan Tribe, which pursues the ocean.

The forces of these three tribes are very large, with a population of over 100,000.

And Selma Flower is one of the herbal flowers produced by the Spirit Tree Tribe.

At the same time, there are more than thirty small islands around Xingdao Island.

There are also a dozen or so tribes of various sizes distributed on these islands, and they all have inextricable links with the three tribes.

After Ryan finished speaking, Moon began to think about everything related to the tribesmen around him.

The first is of course Ben, who promised to send people home. According to the tribesman himself, he is from the Star Glow Tribe.

The other is the three Selma flowers obtained by Chris.

If the Bailey Chamber of Commerce can only obtain three of these herbs every year with its power.

Then who is the person who gave Chris three Selma flowers? Could it have something to do with the Spirit Tree Tribe?

However, these can only be known after Moon arrives on Xingdao Island.

Now he still needs to refine a potion of antidote to prove his ability.

"The Bailey Chamber of Commerce has already sold all of this year's Selma flowers, but there will be new flowers next spring. I hope to invite Mr. Scarlett to refine a batch of potions then."

After asking someone to check the inventory, Ryan made his request.

"Okay, if I have the opportunity next year, I will help refine it. Also, this is the material I need to refine the antidote potion. Please see if you have it."

Moon said, handing the other party a piece of light yellow parchment, which was a description of the materials he had prepared when he came.

"Huh? Mr. Scarlett, you are very careful."

Ryan took the parchment and looked at it.

He originally thought that only the names of some herbs would be written on it, but he didn't expect that Moon had drawn all the material images.

"Of course, refining potions is a rigorous job, so preparation needs to be adequate."

Moon prepared this detailed illustrated description, of course, not just for adequate preparation.

More importantly, he was not sure what these materials were called in this world, so he could only draw them for supplementary explanation.

"This is Drunken Heart Flower, Black Eggplant, Sweet Grass Root, Pearl Powder, Horned Horse's Horn, Pure Spring Water."

What Moon took out was naturally the antidote potion formula that Professor Snape had just explained last week.

He asked Mimir to identify it when he came, and the old gentleman was right except for the horned horse.

The horned horse is the unicorn, and the powder made from its horns is needed to make the antidote.

"Mr. Scarlett, are you sure this is for refining an antidote, not some kind of poison?"

Ryan is not a magician who is proficient in refining potions.

However, during this period of time, because his niece Lynn Bailey was poisoned, he also dabbled in a lot of herbal knowledge, knowing that some of the herbs Moon used were poisonous.

Among them, Drunken Heart Flower can cause the poisoned person to have hallucinations, coma, and even death.

This plant is called Mandrake in Hogwarts potion class.

And Black Eggplant is also poisonous. It will cause symptoms such as dilated pupils and blurred vision, and it can also lead to death in severe cases.

It is called Belladonna in potion class.

Snape asked the little wizards to wear dragon skin gloves when handling these two plants.

"I'm sure, as long as you can find the right materials, I can refine the antidote."

Hearing Moon's confident answer, Ryan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"These herbs and plants are all in the warehouse, but this horned beast's horn may need to be borrowed from an outer island."

"Is that so? If you are in a hurry, I actually have this material."

Moon said, taking out a small paper bag that he had prepared.

Inside is unicorn horn powder.

This is what fell off from the horn core when Moon made his wand.

Knowing that unicorn horns are very precious, Moon has kept them until now.

Ryan took it and looked at it carefully.

The Bailey family actually raises three horned horses, but they never thought that their horns could be used to refine potions, so they have always been kept as ornamental animals on Hephaestus Island.

"This horn should be a few years old."

Ryan fiddled with the horn particles and said.

"That's right, but it doesn't delay the refining of the potion. Of course, if the patient can wait, I can also wait for your beast horns to be delivered."

"No, use yours!"

After hearing Moon's statement, Ryan recalled his niece's worse body this morning and then made up his mind.

"Okay, since you agree, please find a quiet room, I want to start refining the potion."

"Of course, there is a very suitable room next to the reception room. Mr. Moon, you can tell me anything else you need, such as human bone carbon, gold cauldron, special potion refining tools."

When Ryan said the golden cauldron, Moon hesitated for a moment.

But thinking about the particularity of the golden cauldron, he still dismissed this little thought.

"A tin cauldron will do. In addition, the potion tools only need to be ordinary. Human bone carbon is not necessary, and an alcohol lamp should be prepared."

"Alcohol lamp?"

Ryan can understand that the potion tools require ordinary ones.

But it was somewhat unexpected that he didn't use human bone carbon, but used an alcohol lamp instead.

The magicians Ryan had found in the past two days had asked him for at least a hundred human bone carbons before completing the potion refining, although the potions had not worked in the end.

"Yes, my potion refining only needs an alcohol lamp to heat it."

"Alcohol lamp? How is that possible? Potions need to absorb souls to succeed. Mr. Bailey, you didn't find a little liar, did you!"

Just after Moon finished speaking, a magician in black clothes and a black hood suddenly walked into the reception room.

Another two-grid magician.

Moon glanced at the wizard bar of the visitor, and then noticed a familiar ring on the magician's hand.
