Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Chapter 70 Whitebait and Algae

Johanna was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Lu Ke pointed at the picture: "A useless golden thing that lives in the water."

In the picture, a golden mermaid begged people who passed by, but no one gave her anything.

Johanna sighed: "How pitiful."

Lu Ke smiled: "The juice is soaked in water and reacts with the juice of another plant living in the soil in hot water."

In the picture, the golden mermaid has golden liquid floating on her body and flowing to the other side. She meets a man buried in the earth and the blood flowing from the wound on his hand, and together they enter a steaming hot spring.

The two liquids in the hot spring mix, change, and eventually a lotus flower grows out of it.

“The final thing you get is the final product of this alchemical equation.”

The lotus represents wisdom and paganism. It is very uncommon in alchemy, but it represents the final result of alchemy, which is very appropriate.

Lu Ke was suddenly stunned.

Because he seems to really know what these two materials are.

Useless things in the water, alive, golden, beautiful.

Things buried in the earth, alive, ugly and bleeding.

And if you look closely, the ugly man buried in the soil has his mouth wide open. Lu Ke originally thought it was a scream of blood from an injured arm, but in fact, it may mean that this kind of thing has been screaming.

The former is the golden waterweed that Sputraw showed Lu Ke, and the latter is the mandrake.

Lu Ke thought for a while, picked up the sapphire quill, and wrote mandrake on the painting.

Then the word turned into blood red and became part of the painting, which meant that Lu Ke guessed correctly.

Then Lu Ke was embarrassed to find that he didn't know the name of that kind of algae.

So after taking a nap, Lu Ke went to see Professor Sputraw.

Seeing Lu Ke, Professor Sputraw showed no surprise at all: "So you've already guessed it?"

Lu Ke nodded: "But I don't know the name of that kind of algae..."

Professor Sputraw laughed: "Mr. Flamel forgot an important thing, right?"

Then she smiled and took Lu Ke to the greenhouse first.

"Here's a living mandrake. You can try to get the sap from it, or you can keep growing it, or you can just take a little at a time and keep it alive."

There are things you need to pay attention to when planting mandrake in the textbook, so Professor Sputraw said this.

Lu Ke nodded, holding the flower pot and preparing to take it back to the dormitory to raise it.

“And then there’s the whitebait algae.”

Spotlaw said as he walked towards the Black Lake.

"Silver algae?"

Lu Ke felt that this name was a bit pitiful.

"Yes, they have no use, so even the name comes from the small silver fish that live among the algae."

Professor Sputraw walked to the water's edge, then lowered his head and took out his wand.

"There's no way you can raise this kind of algae, Lu Ke. It can't survive alone for more than a month without the fish, so I'll give you enough for ten trials at a time."

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment: "You don't need so much, Professor."

Professor Sputraw smiled: "Don't be so confident, Lu Ke, Mr. Flamel's alchemical equation is not that easy."

Lu Ke sighed helplessly: "I mean, there doesn't seem to be much algae here..."

Professor Sputraw shook his head: "Don't worry, even if there is only a little bit left, as long as there are these little silver fish, the algae will grow again."

Lu Ke nodded, and then took the basin containing lake water and algae from Professor Sputraw.

Although he had a big basin in both hands, Lu Ke didn't find it difficult at all.

"Goodbye then, Professor."

Professor Sputraw nodded: "Don't rush to do the experiment, solve the puzzle first."

Lu Ke nodded and left.

There was a history of magic class in the afternoon. Lu Ke put the two big basins in the dormitory and hurried to class.

After class, it was Johanna's training time. Now she was familiar with all the training items, and the female prefect was there to help record them, so Lu Ke was lazy and took out the picture and continued to guess the riddles.

When he wrote the whitebait and algae on the picture, the words turned into gold, indicating that Lu Ke guessed correctly.

Then there is the most critical thing, the conditions required for alchemy to occur.

Lu Ke looked at the hot spring and guessed what the pattern meant.

Whether it's boiling water bubbles or rising heat, it seems to represent enough heat, but Lu Ke doesn't think organic alchemy can continue in boiling water.

And there is a third person on the shore.

This is the man who walks around, always turning a blind eye to the mermaid, and pouring green liquid into the hot springs.

Lu Ke thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what this green liquid could be.

The only clue is that although liquid enters the hot spring, the color of the hot spring water does not change.

In the end, Lu Ke gave up.

Because it was dinner time, and after dinner, he had a very important thing to do.

After dinner, Lu Ke did not stay in the hall, but returned to the dormitory alone.

Although the Slytherins were a little surprised, they didn't bother.

Lu Ke alone separated a clump of algae from the water basin to another water basin, and then came to the common room.

There is no one here.

Since that ideological correction, the Slytherins have become accustomed to staying in the hall and asking Lu Ke various questions. Even if they don't talk to Lu Ke, they can still talk to other Slytherins. The remaining Slytherins who don't want to go will die. The disciples all stayed in their dormitories.

So now the common room has become the most deserted place.

Lu Ke walked into the entrance of the Room of Requirement without hesitation.

Then what appeared in front of him was a downward spiral staircase.

Lu Ke went all the way down, and the surrounding area became darker and darker. Finally, he came to a dark metal door.

This is literally a submarine hatch.

Whether it's the cold metallic light of black iron or the thick rotating handle.

Lu Ke carefully opened the iron door, and then the cold lake water rushed in.

Almost instantly, Lu Ke turned into a drowned rat.

But the strange thing is that the lake water only spread to the height of Lu Ke's chest and then stopped.

At this time, Lu Ke looked out through the iron door and saw a dark bottom.

This is the bottom of the Black Lake, and the water should never have stopped.

Lu Ke put the water basin filled with algae into the lake. The golden light illuminated a small area, but it was enough to serve as Lu Ke's light source.

He took a deep breath to let himself get used to the temperature of his soaking robe, then stepped into the lake.

With the help of Lu Ke, he reluctantly retreated.

First, he couldn't open his eyes underwater.

Secondly, there was no way he could hold his breath for that long.

Lu Ke reluctantly retreated to the steps.
