Chapter 62: The Failed Potion
As soon as Leonard returned to the room, Leonard’s owl Gray seemed to smell the breath of a mouse and jumped excitedly in the open cage.
Leonard glanced helplessly at the owl that was glowing with anticipation, pulled out a mouse from the cage and threw it into Gray’s cage.
The poor mouse screamed”chichi” and was pinched by a strong paw before he could stand still.
Gray screamed twice excitedly, looking around at the struggling mouse. The bird’s beak clicked, and a long”chirp” came from the cage.
Then there was just the sound of tearing.
Gray began to enjoy the rare fresh blood and meat, and Leonard placed the three boxes of rats next to Gray for his care. At Leonard’s request, Philim used three cages to distribute these. mice, so that he could feed them food with different ingredients.
After telling Gray not to eat the remaining mice, Leonard came to the window and placed a newly bought pot of aconite on the table, and then began to make the extract.
Seeing Leonard starting to operate the potion making equipment on the table again, the ancient bud hidden in Leonard’s sleeve came out again.
It looked at Leonard’s movements curiously, watching as he extracted part of the normal Aconitum root extract and Aconitum fruit extract.
Then he took a few bags of corn kernels given by Philim as mouse food and divided them into three parts. One part was soaked in pure extract, and the other two parts were soaked in Aconitum extract and strengthened Aconitum fruit extract respectively.
Leonard is also serious about conducting experiments, and he will take any variables into consideration.
Time slowly came to noon. Leonard took out the soaked corn kernels, marked them on three pieces of paper, pasted them on the cage, and then poured the corn kernels into the cage.
Although the extract contained very strong alcohol, these mice had been hungry all morning, and had been stared at by eager natural enemies. They devoured those corn kernels, and even fought with their companions just to get an extra mouthful of corn kernels. got up.
After a while, the corn was eaten, and the mice in the three cages fell into a dazed state.
At this time, it was caused by the alcohol in the extract. Leonard was not surprised, but stared at the pocket watch in his hand to see the mouse’s reaction.
The first thing to change was the No. 2 cage soaked in the original Aconitum extract.
The drunken rats in the cage began to pull out their limbs within a minute of eating corn, and their chests rose and fell weakly and slowly.
This is typical alkaloid poisoning.
Speaking of Aconitum, the toxin of this thing was often painted on arrowheads in ancient China. Judging from the deeds of Guan Yu scraping bones to heal his wounds, it is very likely that he was poisoned by this poison.
Leonard just glanced at the poor cage of mice and paid no attention.
This cage of rats is useless and will be thrown away by Leonard after it dies. It is impossible to feed it to Gray. Although it is easy to detoxify the animal poisoned by aconite indirectly by eating it, Leonard remembers that he only needs soy juice and salt. can.
But it’s not like he couldn’t afford a mouse, so why take such a risk?
Soon, the mice in cage No. 1 who had taken the pure extract woke up. They only showed the appearance of being hungover, that is, they were drunk.
The mice in cage three behaved a little strangely. They occasionally had convulsions, but their vitality seemed not to be affected.
It seems that the toxicity of Aconitum fruit has been weakened?
Does this mean that ordinary rue is enough and does not requi
re additional strengthening?
Leonard doesn’t want to strengthen too many plants for the time being, because without a fixed planting point, he can only carry these abnormal plants with him. If someone discovers the abnormality of these plants, he will be very passive.
Time passed by, and after about half an hour, half of the rats in cage No. 3 were dead, and half of the rats were still lingering.
Although he is still weak, he seems to be out of danger
”The toxicity has really weakened, but I don’t know how it will behave after it is brewed into a potion.”Leonard didn’t care about the mouse anymore. He went downstairs to eat some food and came up ready to start brewing the potion.
The ancient buds were eager to try on Leonard’s sleeves, and it seemed that he liked brewing the potion.
Leonard Naturally, he was happy and leisurely, with his mind empty, and he was mindlessly preparing potions under the guidance of the ancient sprouts.
However, what surprised Leonard was that the wolfsbane potion that should have been foolproof for the ancient sprouts actually failed.
In the crucible The concoction suddenly exploded, and the huge force destroyed the crucible. The concoction fell on the floor and emitted white smoke, and the fragments of the crucible were shot in all directions like bullets.
Gray screamed strangely and raised his wings. He hid behind Leonard’s box, but the rat in the cage was not so lucky. He screamed and fell into the cage.
Leonard, who was standing next to the crucible and bore the brunt of the attack, was not injured. A layer of silvery white light was seen on his body, completely blocking the dangerous concoction and crucible fragments. Although the silver light dimmed slightly afterwards, after Leonard felt the magic flow in his body, the silver light disappeared. It returned to its original state.
As the silver light dissipated, Leonard, who didn’t quite understand, looked at the messed up room and frowned slightly.
Although failure was understandable, Leonard still felt helpless after actually experiencing failure.
The ancient bud also seemed to have been hit. It hung down on its branches, like a child who had done something wrong.
”It’s not your fault, it’s the formula of the potion.”Leonard touched the leaves on the buds and comforted him. When he heard that he was not to blame, the leaves on the tips of the ancient buds suddenly became stiff and looked like they were alive again.
Comforted the child With the same ancient buds, Leonard took out his magic wand and waved it gently,”Restore as before.”
As the sound of the magic spell sounded, everything in the room was returning to its original appearance. The walls and floors full of corrosion spots were restored like growth. The exploded crucible fragments floated back obediently and were glued and repaired to form a complete crucible.
Except for the dangerous concoction in the pot and the poor mouse killed by the concoction, in the blink of an eye, the room returned to its original appearance, even Even more brand new than before.
This is the power of the powerful repair spell.
But after finishing all this, Leonard did not feel proud, but frowned and thought about his mistakes.
”Sure enough, I still took it too much for granted.”Leonard sighed and had to admit his biggest mistake. He still wanted to use the previous potion formula when the main ingredients of the potion had undergone huge changes. It was stupid. Leonard was so stupid that he didn’t want to admit that it was him. Made. ps: It will be on the shelves tomorrow. There may be less of it today, so there will be more when it is on the shelves.
