Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 268 Felix's Elixir
Felix's potion is arguably one of the most difficult potions to make.

The production process requires strict adherence to the steps; even the slightest mistake can lead to failure and endanger the maker's life.

Moreover, the production time is about six months, which is very long.

Therefore, even the most skilled potion masters are reluctant to attempt to make Felix Felicis.

Although Dui had Professor Snape's Potions Notebook to guide him, his potion-making skills were not yet up to the level of a Potions Master.

The only thing that can bridge the gap between the two is Dui's Crown of Wisdom.

But what made Dui frown even more was that some of the potion ingredients were only found in the wizarding world, not in Middle-earth.

制作福灵药剂需要的材料有2品脱曼德拉草萃取液、1品脱柠檬汁、10片火灰蛇卵壳、7滴未蒸馏的八眼巨蛛毒液、6粒火蜥蜴蛋、23瓣新鲜苋菜花瓣、1英寸独角兽的角、1滴来自独角兽自愿给予的血。

These ingredients include mandrake, lemon juice, and amaranth.

Fire serpent eggs and fire lizard eggs can be replaced with fire serpent eggs and fire lizards bred with the blood of the Flame Demon.

The venom of the eight-eyed giant spider can also be replaced with the venom of the giant spider.

But he couldn't find any substitutes for unicorn horns or unicorn blood.

There are no unicorns in Middle-earth, so he doesn't know how to find a substitute for them.
Are we going to conjure up unicorns out of thin air?

Duy waved his wand, transforming a horse in the castle stable into the shape of a unicorn.

The horse was pure white, with a long, spiral-shaped horn on its head.

But this transformed "unicorn" is merely a facade; in essence, it is still just an ordinary horse.

Seeing the "unicorn" restless due to its changed appearance, Dui waved his wand and transformed it back to its original form before turning and leaving the stable.

Dui flipped through Professor Snape's potions notebook again to look at the contents of the Felix Felicis.

As a Potions Master, Snape naturally also created Felix Felicis. In particular, before Harry Potter was marked by Voldemort, Snape secretly created Felix Felicis and gave it to Lily Potter, hoping that she could use it to escape Voldemort's pursuit.

However, Lily Potter believed that Voldemort could not find them because she was protected by the Faithful Charm, so she gave the Felix Felicis to her other Order of the Phoenix members.

Ultimately, Voldemort came after him because of the confidant's betrayal.

Lily Potter sacrificed herself to protect Harry Potter, and when Voldemort killed Harry Potter, the magic he loved on Harry Potter reflected the Killing Curse, ultimately making Harry Potter the "savior".

From then on, Snape stopped making Felix Felicis and scoffed at it.

However, in his Potions Notebook, Snape recorded in great detail his process and understanding of making Felix Felicis, and even improved the process of making Felix Felicis, thus enhancing its quality.

He also recorded his thoughts on each type of material in it.

According to Snape, Felix Felicis used unicorn horns to enhance the potion's stability and neutralize its toxicity.

The blood voluntarily donated by unicorns is primarily used to enhance the magical purity of the potion, preventing impurities from causing side effects.

But Dui had no idea what in Middle-earth possessed the power of unicorn horns and unicorn blood. He was suddenly at a loss.

When in doubt, one should consult one's father-in-law. Having no other option, Dui simply went to Elrond—the wisest man in Middle-earth and the finest apothecary—for advice.

When Elrond heard that Dui wanted to create a lucky potion, he was both surprised and used to it.

After all, Dui had already surprised him countless times.

However, when Dui heard that he wanted to find a material that could enhance the stability of potions and neutralize their toxicity, as well as a material that could enhance the purity of the potion's magic, he was surprised.

Elrond frowned slightly, lost in thought.

Without giving Dui much time to wait, he refocused his gaze and said to Dui, "This kind of thing is indeed hard to find, but I know a material that might be what you need..."

"The Alavu bison of the Rune region are descendants of the bull of the hunter god Oromi. Their white horns have excellent magical stability and can neutralize poison. You can try using them to make potions."

Upon hearing this, Dui was immediately surprised.

Alavu bison? He had seen one before; the blue-robed wizard Romisdanu's mount was an Alavu bison.

Who would have thought that the horns of the Alavu bison could replace those of a unicorn?

This is great news!

Thinking of this, he quickly took out the Victory Horn from his spatial bag.

"Lord Elrond, is this Victory Horn also the horn of the Alavu Bison?"

Elrond took the Victory Horn, his eyes lighting up as he exclaimed with a smile, "This is not just the horn of an Alavuan bison, but the horn of the closest offspring of the Oromie bull. It has long since disappeared in Middle-earth and can probably only be found in the Blessed Lands of the West."

"If you're using it as material to make Felix Felicis, I don't recommend it. It's a waste of its potential. You can use the horn of a regular Alavu bison."

Dui would naturally not do that.

After all, this artifact played a significant role in the Battle of Aisengard, and can be considered the best auxiliary tool in battle.

He couldn't possibly destroy such a treasure just to make the Felix Felicis.

So he put the victory horn away again.

"As for materials with purifying power that can enhance the purity of potions..." Elrond thought for a moment, hesitated, but still said to Dui, "You may not know, but the blood of elves can enhance the purity of magic."

"Elf blood?" Dui exclaimed in surprise.

Elrond nodded, recalling with a somewhat complicated expression: "As the firstborn children of Ilúvatar, the elves possess eternal life, which aroused the jealousy of some of the second-born children."

Therefore, some humans were once bewitched by evil and turned against the elves, attempting to uncover the secrets of their immortality and even drinking their blood in hopes of gaining eternal life.

"But such an effort is ultimately futile, and even those who have been stained with the blood of the elves will be cursed, tormented by pain and regret for the rest of their lives, and will never be able to break free."

Dui was even more surprised, never expecting there to be such a secret behind it.

Elrond continued, "But not all elven blood possesses such purity. Only the Light Elves who have bathed in the Twin Trees have the purest and most holy blood."

Therefore, if you want to find blood that can enhance the purity of potion magic, you must obtain the consent of the Light Elves and receive their blood willingly bestowed upon you.

Listening to Elrond's explanation, Dui understood why Elrond had hesitated earlier.

In Middle-earth, only a handful of elves have ever been able to bask in the light of the Twin Trees.

One is Lady Galadriel;

One is Grofendel, the Golden Flower Lord who lives in the secluded valley.

Elf blood is equally precious to elves, and no one wants to bleed unless forced to.

Moreover, if the blood falls into the hands of others and is unfortunately used, the consequences could be unimaginable if it is cursed through evil witchcraft.

Therefore, it will not be easy for Dui to obtain the blood of the elves.

In fact, Dui knew that if he asked Galadriel for help, Galadriel would definitely agree, given her personality.

But Galadriel had already helped him a lot, and she was also Alvin's grandmother, so Dui didn't want to ask for more.

Therefore, Dui chose to ask the Golden Flower Lord, whom he was not very familiar with, for blood.

Glorfindel always lived a secluded life in the valley, spending most of his time in his library.

When Duy arrived at the vast library, he found Grofendel reading a book.

Glorfindel had long, bright golden hair and radiated the unique glow of a light elf, making the entire library bright.

“You’re looking for me? Wizard Duir.” Glorfindel put down his book and looked at Duir with his bright, deep eyes.

Dui bowed to him, then nodded and said, "I apologize for disturbing you, Lord Glorfindel."

Dui then directly stated his purpose.

When Dui asked for a drop of his blood, the Golden Flower Lord remained calm and unchanged.

Just as Dui was feeling uneasy, thinking he would be rejected,

Glorfindel surprisingly nodded in agreement.

"can."

"What?" Dui was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.

“I agreed, and I’m also quite curious about what kind of lucky potion it will be. Remember to give me some when you make it,” Glorfindel said with a smile.

Dui realized what was happening, and immediately showed delight, nodding quickly.

"Thank you, Lord Glorfindel. Don't worry, I will definitely send it to you once I have made the Felix Felicis!"

Then Dui took a small bottle of ruby ​​red potion from his pocket and placed it in front of Glorfindel.

"Lord Glorfindel, this is the elixir of immortality I created. In addition to extending lifespan, it can also restore vitality. Even those on the verge of death can be resurrected as long as they have a breath left."

I don't have anything else of value to offer, so please don't refuse this as a token of my gratitude.

Upon hearing Dui's words, Glorfindel curiously picked up the elixir of immortality and exclaimed in surprise, "Is this the elixir of immortality you made from the Philosopher's Stone?"

"I sensed immortal matter within it, truly extraordinary!" Glorfindel exclaimed after experiencing it for a while. "Such a wonderful thing, I won't stand on ceremony and will accept it."

"Alright, bring the bottle here."

Dui quickly took out a small crystal medicine bottle and placed it in front of him.

Glorfindel drew an exquisite and ornate dagger from his waist, slashed his index finger, and placed it on the crystal vial.

Pale red blood dripped rapidly from his fingertips, one drop, two drops, three drops...

"That's enough! Lord Glorfindel, one drop is enough!" Dui said hurriedly.

Glorfindel's movements were swift and clean; he didn't give Dui a chance to stop him, and only stopped after dripping ten drops of blood into her mouth.

At the same time, the cuts on my fingers healed quickly.

Glorfindel handed Dui the small crystal vial containing blood, smiling as he said, "If it's not enough, ask for more."

Faced with such a generous Golden Flower Lord, Dui could only express his gratitude.

After bidding farewell to Glorfindel, Dui was about to leave the valley and head to the Far East to obtain the horns of the Alavu bison.

Alvin gave him a surprise.

"Duir, I've finished weaving your invisibility cloak," Alvin said gently to Duir, holding a black cloth bag.
