HP: Wizards at Hogwarts

Chapter 118 Opening Up Trade Routes

Elaine knew the history Kyle and Warren were talking about.

It is recorded in extracurricular books such as "The Historical Evolution of Potions" that the current "Potions" was created by ancient wizards in order to realize magic!

It is said that in the beginning, some ancient wizards accidentally discovered that adding other things to the potions during the process of healing the sick could give the potions special abilities.

So this group of people kept researching this track.

Whether it's herbs growing in the ground, animal droppings, or even more absurd things, they all add them to the potion, and then combine them with techniques, spells, and other rituals to gradually create various magic potion recipes.

Simply put, for ancient wizards, "potions" were a substitute for "magic"!

Even now, "magic to potion" remains a very popular topic in potion studies, and many potion masters have conducted in-depth research in this area.

In contrast, "medicinal decoction" has always adhered to the principle of "treating diseases and saving lives, with medical care as the top priority".

"Thousands of years ago, shamans from an ancient Eastern country traveled to this land and passed down their medical knowledge."

"The ancestors of the Ma people combined their knowledge with their existing medicine to create the art of herbal medicine," which is still in use today.

At the dinner table, Kyle and Warren talked at length about the centaur's medical culture;

Elaine and Harry listened intently, occasionally exchanging a few words with each other;

Ron and Hagrid ate and drank to their hearts' content.

"While we don't brew compound potions—those magically potent substances—our herbal remedies are far more effective than magical potions for healing, wound treatment, and detoxification!"

"I completely believe that!"

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Elaine casually asked, "By the way, you said you went out to collect herbs yesterday and were caught by those poachers. Don't you think the centaur tribe has enough herbs?"

C

"Well—"

Kyle and Valen exchanged a glance and replied, "The centaur tribe has always lived in seclusion and rarely gets involved in trouble. Under normal circumstances, our stockpile of herbs is more than enough."

"However, my brother and I wanted to research new herbal soup recipes."

"This requires a large amount of herbs for experimentation, so the tribe's herb reserves alone are far from enough."

Understood!

So you're going to do medical research!

Elaine suddenly realized what was going on and looked at the two centaurs with admiration and respect.

"There are still thousands of incurable diseases in the world. Researching new herbal formulas and achieving medical breakthroughs is indeed something worth fighting for together by all races."

"Here's what we'll do: if you need any herbs, just come to me."

"I can help you!"

Upon hearing Eleven's words, Kyle and Valen couldn't hide their surprise and delight.

"Really?!"

"Are you willing to help us?"

"But—how can I help? Do you have a lot of herbs?"

Elaine nodded and told him truthfully, "I have a spell that can accelerate the growth of herbs without any side effects, and professional testing has shown that potions made from these herbs are more effective than those made from ordinary herbs!"

"I believe that if these herbs were used in the medicinal soups of the Malian people, they would certainly have the same effect!"

Upon hearing this, the two centaurs trembled with excitement.

"If that's really the case, then that would be wonderful!"

But Kyle quickly calmed down, his expression becoming troubled yet resolute.

"Elizabeth, I appreciate your help, but we can't take advantage of you for nothing!"

Upon hearing this, Valen realized his lapse in composure and nodded repeatedly to Elaine.

"I was so overwhelmed with joy that I completely forgot about something so important."

"Kyle is right, we can't accept your selfless help!"

Elaine was silent for several seconds: "Are you guys misunderstanding something? I never said I wouldn't ask for anything in return!"

Ah, this—

Kyle and Valen blushed.

"Oh—Is that so—Ahahaha—I'm so sorry, it turns out we misunderstood!"

"Ahem—So, Elivin, what do we need to give up if we want potent herbs?"

Elaine thought for a moment and said, "I will provide you with potent herbs, and you can help me make various medicines that can cure diseases and heal injuries."

"An antidote decoction, how about this deal?"

Can I trade ready-made decoctions for potent herbs?

this----

It seems like it could work!

The two centaurs were immediately intrigued.

If the transaction is conducted in this way, then they are not getting a free ride!

"This deal is fantastic!"

"I also think it's entirely feasible!"

Seeing that both centaurs agreed to the deal, Elaine no longer hesitated and enthusiastically pulled them aside to discuss the specifics of the plan.

The plan includes, but is not limited to:

The amount of potent herbs you provide in exchange for the amount of decoction you receive from the other party;

How often do the two parties trade?

If the quantity or quality of the decoction is insufficient, what can be used as a substitute?

Harry, Ron, and Hagrid, seeing the three of them chatting happily, couldn't help but feel bored, so they went out of the house together and wandered around the centaur's village.

Although centaurs reject humans, they treat underage wizards relatively well.

In their eyes, underage wizards, like centaur cubs, are beings that need to be protected.

Half an hour later, after Elaine and the other two finished their discussions and signed the contract, Harry and the others returned just then. After thanking the two centaurs for their hospitality, the group took their leave.

a few days later.

Ding! You've obtained a new character card, [Lucy]!

【Orange/Lucy】

• Celestial Spirit Summoning: Summons a portion of the zodiac's celestial spirits to fight. • Celestial Spirit Robe: Transfers the power of celestial spirits to oneself, allowing the use of celestial spirit magic. • Star Chart Chronicles: Uses the power of all eighty-eight stars in the sky for an all-around lock-on attack. Character template has been changed.

[Name]: Eleven Yakut [Summoned Characters]: 9 [Gold]: Gray (Ice Form, Ice Slayer)

[Orange]: Warlord (Plant), Wendy (Dragon Slayer, Bonus), Lucy (Protoss)

[Blue]: Mester (memory, teleportation), Lisa (sensory deceleration), Poryusika (medicine)

[Green]: Bisca (Gunner), Alzak (Bullet)

Lucy, the true protagonist of the Fairy Tail world, grants Elivin a new form of magic: Celestial Spirit Magic.

However, since there is no Celestial Realm or Celestial Key in this world, the "Celestial Summoning" spell only summons a group of puppets without independent consciousness that can only obey Elivin's orders.

Experiments have shown that these puppets have physical bodies, can use magic, and possess a considerable level of combat intelligence, making them valuable allies in battle.

Now we can call upon the Protoss to come to the rescue during battles!
