Chapter 227 225 Memory
Chapter 227 225. Memory
"Can you tell what this bottle of medicine is, Professor Johnson?"
Sir Stocker said solemnly.
Jon was not good at potions, and he couldn't think of any silver potions for a while.
But the gems in the ring contain more than half of the banned books in the entire Hogwarts library. As long as this potion is not a private secret recipe, there is a great chance to find clues in those banned books about potions.
He chose his words carefully.
"I also have some superficial understanding of potions, but you should know that there are too many types of potions, and they are very different. I can't think of any potions that meet the requirements for a while. But as long as the potion is still there, we can slowly study it and reverse its effect."
Sir Stocker nodded.
"Yes, there are some books about potions in my study, which are left by my family and collected by me when I was on land. We can use these materials to study."
It is not known whether he said this intentionally or unintentionally, but it has blocked Jon's original intention to take the bottle of silver potion away and find out what it is in private.
Jon is more inclined to believe that he did it on purpose. Although Sir Stoke is simple, he is not naive. He will definitely not trust Jon unconditionally, so it is necessary to be on guard at this time.
And he has actually given enough trust. He did not take the potion directly, but expressed his willingness to study with Jon what the effect of this potion is.
This is also a way that Jon can accept. After all, he has already obtained the contract signed with Voldemort's real name in advance. He has a hunch that the biggest problem should be on this contract.
There are not many people who know French on the ship. Fortunately, Hermione has learned French by herself for a period of time and is now in the tower. She does not need to translate all the contents of the contract. It is enough to say the general meaning.
Jon and Sir Stocker did not stay on the top of the tower any longer. They returned to the study with the silver potion.
The books in the study were indeed mostly about astronomy, but there were also some books about spells and potions.
However, Jon could tell from the covers that these were basically ordinary potion books that could be bought on the market. There were no records of potions that were slightly unconventional or taboo.
So Jon's attention was not on the potion books that Sir Stocker had taken out. He was staring at the potion placed in the middle of the desk, constantly searching for the forbidden books about potions in the ring.
Potions with silver color were rare. Even if Jon quickly browsed through all the forbidden books about potions, he could only find four or five.
And the potion forms recorded in these potions were very different from the one in front of him.
The glass bottle did contain liquid, but the silver was floating like smoke, giving people a dreamlike feeling.
Sir Stocker naturally couldn't find any results from those ordinary potion books. He frowned deeply and suggested.
"Why don't we open the bottle, separate a few drops of potion, and find something to experiment with its effect?"
There is nothing wrong with this suggestion. Before we can find accurate records of potion data, we can only reverse the effect it shows.
"Let me do it. After all, I have experience in preparing potions, so it's safer to do it."
For safety, Jon took the initiative to take this work on himself, and Sir Stocker nodded in agreement.
He took the glass bottle and then carefully opened the cork.
And just after Jon opened the bottle, the silver smoke that was originally floating in the liquid of the glass bottle suddenly flew out!
The smoke separated from the liquid and condensed into a silver thread in the air at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then rushed towards Sir Stocker's head with a clear goal!
At the beginning of the change, Jon reacted very quickly and drew out his wand. When the silver smoke flew out, he recited the spell in front of himself and Sir Stoke without hesitation.
"Protect all!"
A variant of the Armor Spell, which can protect an area instead of a single person.
However, after the silver thread condensed and rushed towards Sir Stoke's head, Jon suddenly had a very bad premonition!
Before, this thing had always been stored in liquid, and Jon's inherent impression was that it could only be stored in the meditation basin, so it never went in that direction.
But now, he finally recognized what it was!
This is not a magic potion at all, but a wisp of memory!
A wisp of memory extracted from Sir Stoke's mind!
The Armor Spell is used to resist spells, and of course it cannot prevent the memory from returning to its owner's mind.
The silver wisp rushed into Sir Stoke's mind smoothly, and at that moment, the knight's eyes showed a blank look.
Jon quickly distanced himself from Sir Stocker, but he did not rashly point his wand at the Sir who had just been studying the bottle of memory with him. Instead, he held his breath and asked very seriously.
"It's a memory, right, Sir Stocker?"
The confusion in Sir Stoker's eyes did not last long, and soon his expression became a little gloomy, and then changed from gloomy to thoughtful. Finally, he calmly met Jon's eyes and said with a smile. .
"Why are you so nervous all of a sudden? Professor Johnson, this is just an ordinary memory. I am still me and will not let me become another person."
Jon did not relax his tense body, but the expression on his face no longer became so serious.
"Yes, memory will not change a person in most cases, but since the memory in the bottle is yours, Sir, does that mean that the stone slab was put there by you? Is it just that you forgot it?"
Sir Stoker seemed to have the same personality as before he got that memory back. He raised his eyebrows and said tactfully.
"This memory, how should I put it, is a bit involved in my personal privacy, so I'm sorry that I can't answer your questions, Professor Johnson. But this does not prevent me from thanking you. Thank you very much for your kindness to me." If you need any help, just ask, I will definitely help as long as I can."
Jon didn't speak immediately. He looked into Sir Stoker's eyes, and the atmosphere remained quiet for half a minute.
