Harry Potter: The Wizard of Apocalypse

Ian skillfully took out the letter and read the contents. Unfortunately, Hermione had classes in the afternoon, so she didn't have time, because even in the evening, Gryffindor still had an Astronomy class.

However, the attentive Hermione also gave Ian a Gryffindor first-year class timetable so that he could check the time. As long as they were both free, she could keep the appointment at any time.

Ian didn't say much about this, but just wrote a new letter and agreed to meet on Sunday morning.

As for Saturday, sorry, this Saturday is the day when the Ravenclaw Quidditch team recruits new members. Since Ian had promised Andre that they would go to watch the game together, he felt that he would most likely not have free time on Saturday. Of course, he also wanted to appear less weird.

…

It was around 7 o'clock in the evening, and Ian was on his way to Snape's office.

Just as Ian was about to knock on the door, the office door was opened from the inside. Snape seemed to have something urgent to do at the moment and walked out hurriedly. When he saw Ian coming, he turned back to the office without saying a word.

Ian was a little confused by the other party's action. At this time, he saw Snape walking out of the office with a thick stack of parchment in his hand, the kind of thick book stapled together with ropes.

Without further ado, he threw it into Ian's arms and said hastily,

"Dumbledore has something to ask me, so I don't have time to teach you today. Maybe you can take a look at this, the research data on hybrid dragon blood. If successful, it will be a major revolution in the history of potions."

At this point, Snape suddenly stared at Ian with his lifeless eyes and said word by word:

"No information here can be leaked or copied. You can only read these materials in my office. This is a research project that 12 dragon farms have joined together and paid me a lot of money to do. The ownership belongs to them."

"Ian! You are a smart man. I think you should know what I mean, right?"

"I understand, Professor Snape." Ian nodded seriously.

"Very good!" Snape walked away, swaying in his loose wizard robes.

Watching Snape leave, Ian gently stroked the cover of the document in his hand. The stapled parchment was 20 centimeters thick, which also represented the complexity and profundity of this research material.

After entering the office, Ian calmed himself down and began to look through the research materials. After opening them, he found that the materials in his hand were only the first part of the entire project.

The research direction is to hybridize the 10 known pure-blooded fire dragons to match the corresponding potion needs.

Just by seeing this sentence, Ian understood why Snape warned him so seriously not to spread the story.

This is undoubtedly an enormous industrial chain. It is not just a combination of dragon farms but also involves the potion industry and the herbal industry. If the names behind it are listed, Ian can say with certainty that this almost covers the capital forces behind the entire European wizarding world.

Ian, who understood the importance of this information, was instantly moved by Snape's trust in him. It was really hard to imagine that this usually taciturn and even somewhat indifferent professor trusted him so much, which made him even a little overwhelmed for a moment.

This cannot be blamed on Ian. His experiences in his previous life have made him accustomed to lies and betrayal. After living in a profit-driven environment for a long time, it is easy to forget what sincerity is.

Back to the topic, Ian was only slightly surprised and was quickly attracted by the content of the information.

"It's really ingenious. The blood of the new dragon species hybridized from the Romanian Longhorn and the Hexagonal Black Dragon can help shorten the brewing time of the Felix Felicis? It can act as a catalyst? It turns out that we should not underestimate anyone."

Ian muttered to himself while holding the documents.

To be honest, he was shocked by these people's operations. Ian was once amazed by Hagrid's hybridized Blast-Ended Skrewts in the original book. Now it seems that the hybridization technology in the wizarding world has a long history and is not unique to Hagrid's family.

"But this is also good. Unknown new materials will help solve many difficult problems. I hope they can develop them as soon as possible. This way, I can find the corresponding inspiration and complete the formula of the incomplete bloodline potion."

Ian read the contents of the document carefully. As time went by, the more he read, the happier he became, because the direction of the second step of research was clearly recorded at the end, and the purpose was obviously to enhance the activity of dragon blood.

This was exactly what Ian would like to see because after long-term learning and understanding, as well as peaceful research in the apocalypse, he basically figured out the problem with the incomplete formula. The most important missing link was how to maintain the vitality that was lost after the potion was completed.

Because it is to purify the blood of wizards, it is essential to add the blood of magical animals, but whether it is a fire dragon, a unicorn, or a phoenix, the activity of the blood cannot be retained during the long-term boiling process.

Fire dragons are creatures with powerful magical powers, so it is difficult for them to maintain their activity for long under the erosion of magic.

The unicorn's special purification ability disrupts the efficacy of other materials. As for the phoenix, due to the activity of the phoenix's blood, it will disappear the moment it leaves the body.

This is how the success rate was so low that it was outrageous. The inventor of the potion was also stuck at this stage, so that later on, even if the inventor had a new improvement method, he could only sigh in despair and had no idea where to start.

That's why he was so happy after seeing the next research direction written in the information.
