Chapter 91 Berserker
Before going to bed, his mind was still focused on the underground Ministry of Magic, and he felt slightly uneasy.
There are not more than a hundred family wizards in Naama, and they are scattered in different places. It would be strange for him not to worry about being on the assassination list of the Underground Ministry of Magic!
However, it was useless for him to worry blindly.
Professional matters should be left to professionals, so he decided to write a letter to his handsome dad tomorrow.
The next day, before dawn, Chen Bin was awakened by a knock on the door.
Chen Bin opened the dormitory door and saw the sleepy Du siblings. They were also woken up.
The doorbell that Dumbledore and Lupine rang was connected to the doorman's room. Even a small incident would wake them both, and a major incident would wake Chen Bin up by knocking on the door.
The biggest shit is when the principal comes to visit.
Chen Bin planned to politely boil water to make tea, but was stopped by Lu Ping who looked eager. "Professor Naama, please tell me, is Sirius really unjust? Did he really not come to Hogwarts to kill Harry? Can just catching Peter clear his name?"
Chen Bin looked at Dumbledore. His eyes were indeed a little dark. He must have read the entire "Prison of Azkaban" in one night, and even used some secret method to read "The Goblet of Fire". Otherwise, how could he feel relieved? Telling Lupine part of Sirius' plot also meant that he wanted to clear Sirius's name.
"Yes." Chen Bin invited the two of them to sit on the sofa opposite and conjured up a tea set as usual. "However, if you don't want to change the main plot, don't capture Pettigrew in advance. He may have to experience his original fate before he becomes desperate and turns his heart to his master. If you force the change in advance, I cannot guarantee that he will escape to the Antarctic. Maybe for the rest of my life.”
Chen Bin didn't tell Lu Ping clearly. He didn't know how much Lao Deng told Lu Ping.
"I think there is no need to hide all this from Lupine." Lao Deng naturally heard his hint and said with a righteous face: "When Voldemort meets any of us, the prophecy in my hand will have reached the end. I believe Lupine is not on Voldemort’s side, and his Occlumency is no worse than Snape’s.”
Chen Bin despised Lao Deng for still trying to win people's hearts at this time, but Chen Bin's favorite character in the whole story was Lu Ping.
He walks in the darkness to protect the people around him, and is a tragic figure who treats others with sincerity. His childhood friends who truly accepted him died in battle, were wronged, betrayed, and finally all died, including himself and his wife.
His life is like a candle, burning itself to bring light to the characters in the story.
"Compared to these complicated plans, I want to help you solve the problem of werewolf transformation." Chen Bin was not joking, he was really sure about this.
When Lao Deng heard this, his beard trembled with excitement. "Really? You can solve it?"
Lupine flushed with excitement at first, then calmed down. "Thank you for your kindness, but if you mean Wolfsbane Potion, I guess..."
Chen Bin used the flying spell to summon a bottle of red potion from the box. "As early as five years ago, I asked the workshop to study the pathology of werewolves and the wolfsbane potion that only appeared in recent years. Finally, during the summer vacation of the year before last, this improved potion was finally successfully researched."
"But, but..." Lu Ping was a little incoherent. After adjusting his breathing, he calmly said again: "The whole of Europe is also researching drugs to treat werewolves. How can you successfully improve it with just one workshop?"
Lao Deng also cast a puzzled look, expecting Chen Bin to take the initiative to answer his questions.
"Wizards discriminate against werewolves, so they won't invest too much money in developing a treatment. However, I only invested 2 million gold galleons to successfully develop it. I can only say that the magic world does not value the rights of werewolves."
Lupine gasped.
Chen Bin knew that most middle-class families did not have 2 million in cash. He did not count the 200 million he had spent in advance... Huaxia Coin purchased a small experiment!
Wolfsbane-related treatments were borrowed from this laboratory and were developed based on Muggle methods combined with wizarding knowledge.
"...Moreover, the design idea of wolfsbane potion is simply wrong." Chen Bin went on to explain the mechanism of this new drug in depth.
Werewolves are transmitted through body fluids containing high concentrations of wolfsbane. If the infected person is an extraordinary person, he will become a werewolf, and if he is a Muggle, he will die directly.
When the concentration of wolfsbane reaches the critical point, a certain signal generated by the full moon causes the wolfsbane in the infected person's body to resonate with the magic power, and the infected person becomes a werewolf like an Animagus.
The memory and thinking areas of their brains will be suppressed, the pituitary gland secretes a large amount of short-chain peptides to weaken the tactile sensation (pain sensation), and the homeostasis ability of the brain oblongata is greatly improved. Transforming from a werewolf back to human form requires consuming a lot of wolfsbane and magic power and being in a state of exhaustion, followed by relapses and relapses every month.
This is not a blood curse, but more like a long-extinct warrior in the Norse mythology system - the Berserker.
Myth does not represent high-end, it can only represent ancient times. For example, Naama is also a mythical figure who is the Holy Prostitute Angel. The gods, elves, and nine worlds of Nordic mythology are more like different tribes and tribal strongmen with emotions, which are the extinct tribal civilization of extraordinary beings.
Their gods are not eternal, and everything is imperfect. When all things die, new life will be formed again, and everything in the world is cyclical.
Translated into human terms, the strongest person in the tribe will die, and everything will progress. When the tribe dies, a new tribe will be formed again, and their world will cycle like this.
Then, Ragnarok appeared, all the strongest died, there was no more cycle, and the tribe of extraordinary people was also exterminated. Chen Bin could not prove the relationship between Ragnarok and werewolves, but werewolves are very likely to be one of the Berserkers.
The English word Berserk originally meant "one wearing bear skin", which is composed of "Ber" (bear) and "serk" (clothes), and then extended to mean "violent", "out of control", and "crazy".
Werewolves and Berserkers also have many similarities: they are covered with animal fur, and their physiques are blessed by stronger people (physiques bitten out). Although they are no different from ordinary people at ordinary times, they become selfless and violent under special circumstances, have abnormal strength, do not wear armor (clothes), can kill people with bare hands or bite the enemy's throat, but collapse after returning to their original form.
That is to say, the original Berserkers and werewolves may not be diseases, but the physiques of soldiers of extinct civilizations. Just as thalassemia patients are not prone to malaria, it is an evolution to fight against natural disasters, but unfortunately it later became an uncontrollable serious disease.
Following this line of thought, the workshop and modern laboratory conducted a series of biological and "Magic Alchemy" analyses on the kidnapped werewolves, such as live sampling before and after transformation, clinical experiments on viruses and magic, and finally invented a treatment method.
After the patient transforms from a werewolf back to a human, the wolfsbane in his body will be at the lowest level, and from this time on, the wolfsbane will be slowly consumed accordingly if the magic power is overloaded every day. As long as this overdraft is maintained until a full moon night, the patient can start drinking a bottle of red potion every day and maintain the overload of magic power overdraft. After about four weeks, all the wolfsbane in the body can be completely eliminated.
"What is the composition of this red potion?" Dumbledore's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he picked up the glass bottle and looked at it carefully, just about to take a sip of it.
Chen Bin wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. He said seriously, "49.995% pure water, 47% high fructose corn syrup, 2% carmine pigment, 0.004% magic inactivated wolfsbane, 0.001% various attenuated pathogenic substances."
"What do you mean by inactivation and attenuation?" Lupin couldn't hear what he was saying.
"0.004% inactivated wolfsbane is dead wolfsbane. This thing is very evil. Even after being inactivated by magic, it can only eliminate its infectious ability, and it will self-divided after entering the human body. Drinking it for a long time is used to seize the magic power required for normal wolfsbane, and through constant magic overdraft, it consumes normal and inactivated wolfsbane, and finally leaves dead wolfsbane that is almost non-infectious."
Chen Bin took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued to explain.
"The 0.001% of inactivated substances are all kinds of things that cause minor illnesses in wizards. They are also weakened and used to stimulate the body to recognize pathogenic substances, including wolfsbane. Wizards' immunity is much stronger than Muggles, and their antibodies have eliminated all viruses and bacteria before stopping the medication. As for the inactivated wolfsbane, it is still a dead substance. It will stop splitting after a few more times, and then it will be slowly consumed as the magic is overdrawn. Then, the patient will return to being a normal wizard, and because of the antibodies, he is not afraid of suffering from werewolf disease and various minor wizard illnesses."
