Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 368, Section 362: The Thirteenth and Fourteenth Uses of Dragon Blood?

It can't really be considered a failure, because it already falls into the category of Mystic Codes, it just didn't meet Daryl's expectations.

Each failure only resulted in a viscous version of Moon Essence Liquid (essentially not much different from what Kenneth used, just a bit more viscous). This level of magical artifact would be an excellent choice even in the Tower of Time, and would also be a very good alchemical product in the world of Harry Potter.

But that's not the result Dali wanted.

Dudley quickly put his glasses back on and began studying the materials in his hands. He felt that this experiment was missing something; he didn't have any materials that could be properly fused together.

"Actually, you don't need to be in such a hurry. With your abilities, you will be able to do it sooner or later."

Grindelwald said.

"I don't think my senior Tom will give us any more time. He's been lingering on for over a decade and his patience is almost worn out."

"You're just a child."

"Oh, child, it's hard to imagine hearing that word come from your mouth."

"Aside from Professor Dumbledore and you, there aren't many others in the entire wizarding world who can compare, are there?"

"If something happens to Dumbledore, I imagine you'll follow him. At that point, do you think I should rely on those high-ranking, irresponsible Ministers of Magic, or on Harry Potter, whom my brother prophesied would defeat him?"

"Or should I wait until Tom leads a bunch of dark wizards down my door and then tell him I'm just a kid? Do you think that would work?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end. Just when Dali thought the other party had hung up and was about to try again, Grindelwald's voice rang out again.

"Actually, you could try dragon's blood."

"Dragon blood?"

"Yes, dragon blood is an excellent alchemical material and also the best fusion agent."

Dali frowned slightly upon hearing this.

I don't know much about Dragonblood Dudley, except that it can be used in some special potions. My knowledge of it comes from the article "The Twelve Uses of Dragonblood" that Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel jointly discovered, which is written in their biography.

However, none of the twelve uses of dragon blood mention that it can be used as a material for alchemy, and it is also the rarest fusion agent among alchemy materials.

If Grindelwald is right, it means that dragon blood has not only twelve uses, but thirteen? No wonder Grindelwald was unwilling to say it.

However, even the renowned alchemy master Nicholas Lemaître failed to discover it.

"It requires special processing, and it needs five different types of fire dragon blood, and the blood cannot be stored for more than a week."

Seemingly sensing Dali's doubts, Grindelwald added.

"I also discovered by chance that I had slain five dragons that time."

Grindelwald didn't elaborate, and Dudley didn't press for details. If what he said was true, it was indeed understandable. After all, Master Nicolas Lemaître wouldn't go out of his way to slay dragons, especially five different kinds of dragons.

"So you should go back and rest now. Five different types of fire dragon blood are not easy to collect. The ones sold on the black market take more than a week to collect. I suggest you try to get them from those dragon farms."

Grindelwald kindly offered his advice and suggestions.

However, Dali just chuckled.

"Professor, please wait for me for a quarter of an hour. I'm going to get some fire dragon blood. Hmm, I've been raising five dragons in the Forbidden Forest."

Grindelwald: ? ? ?

What's the deal with keeping a five-headed dragon? Isn't it explicitly forbidden for private individuals to keep those things?

"There is also a unicorn and a thousand-year-old serpent monster, and another group of eight-eyed giant spiders also obey my orders."

Dali continued to add more.

Grindelwald:

A five-headed fire dragon might be forcibly subdued by some wizards, like himself, it's just a matter of spending more time, but how did you manage to raise a unicorn, a creature that only wants to be near virgins?

There's also a colony of giant eight-eyed spiders? How do they control these low-intelligence creatures?

Finally, the thousand-year-old serpent monster. The last time a serpent monster appeared was a hundred years ago, so this is a thousand-year-old serpent monster?

You took Hogwarts' prized possession?

"I'm better at dealing with magical creatures."

This is how Dali explained it.

Grindelwald:

Skilled at dealing with magical creatures? Some very unpleasant memories flooded back.

Dudley was focused on his research and unaware of what Grindelwald was thinking. Otherwise, he would have told him that he kept far more magical creatures than just those mentioned, such as the tens of thousands of "biting fairies" vixens, the Cornish elves that had evolved once, the Boggarts that could be used as Ditto, a large group of Grindelwalds, the giant octopus at the bottom of the Black Lake that was as big as the lake itself (see Chapter 305, the "Anuma" mentioned by the fish-men), and the various rare and dangerous creatures in the labyrinth of the final Goblet of Fire exam that could be used to open a magical animal park.

Compared to the one Grindelwald remembered, Dudley's collection was no less extensive.

This guy has always wanted to build an army of magical creatures.

A moment later, Dali, who had left in a hurry, returned to the laboratory with five buckets of fresh dragon blood.

"About two liters of each, Professor, that should be enough, right?"

"."

"One test tube is enough."

Although we can't see Grindelwald's expression at this moment, it's likely the same as Professor Snape's usual expression.

"Then could you tell me a few more uses for dragon blood? It wasn't easy to get it, so don't waste it."

"."

"It can be used as a flavoring agent."

After a long while, Grindelwald's voice finally drifted out, and its contents made Dudley's eyes light up.

There really is a fourteenth use?

Under Grindelwald's guidance, Dudley used a special method to process the blood of the five dragons, creating a test tube of crimson blood.

After carefully placing it on the test tube rack, Dali began working on the production of the costume.

The same steps as before.

However, this time, after adding specially prepared fire dragon blood, a new change occurred. Accompanied by the flashing light of the alchemy array and the constantly waving magic wand in the air, the silvery-white liquid gradually turned into a transparent color. It was no longer the sticky liquid it had been, nor did it have the metallic texture of the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid. It was as if it had turned into clear water.

Seeing this result, Dali finally showed a satisfied expression.

He succeeded; this is the state he wanted.

However, the Mystic Code is not yet complete. According to Dudley's plan, it is only half finished. There is still one crucial element that has not been added.

A spark of inspiration!

This is the most important.
