Sequence Potions at Hogwarts

Chapter 272 The shell of the fried-tailed snail

Two weeks later, in Fantastic Creatures class, the shell of the snail had become too hard to make a cloak.But it's good for armor.

Although the little wizards didn't find out what they liked to eat, they still doubled in size and grew to a foot long, which translates to about thirty centimeters in length.

Blast-tailed snails are not suitable for living in groups, and two of them will bump into each other until they die.

At this time, the snails become very dangerous. Their shells are very hard and have thorns on them. You can tell by the loud noise when two snails collide with each other. The impact on a person can range from broken bones to life-threatening injuries. .

Nix thought that if he took this thing to the Pig's Head Bar, it would be very popular to hold a game similar to cricket fighting.It's a pity that such activities cannot be held in schools, the professor will definitely prevent them.

When taking care of the snails, Seamus often makes the explosions of the snails disappear. The snails have no brains and don't think about why the explosions disappeared. They just continue to release explosions on the spot.

Neville stood beside Nix and asked, "Nix, you said they always explode, so they won't hurt you?"

"No, didn't we try it last time, that layer of skin is heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant."

"What about the meat under the skin? Last time you dissected and threw away the visceral explosion, it didn't roast the meat."

This sentence not only made Nix fall into thought, but also made Seamo fall into thought.

As the person who played with fire the most and was the best at it, he understood what Neville was talking about.

The flames give off heat, and without the heat, Seamus could catch the flames with his bare hands, but with the heat, he would have to catch the fire with nothing.

The longer a flame is held in the hand, the more heat it emits.He can control the flame to converge, but he has no way to control the heat from dissipating. When he plays with fire, he has to disperse the flame frequently to let himself cool down before continuing.

Now the fried-tailed snails are constantly exploding at the tail, and the heat generated by the explosions is astonishing. Normally, the meat inside would have been roasted long ago.

"Hagrid, I think..." Nix was interrupted before he could finish.

"Is planing right?" Hagrid pointed to the other side of the house. "There are a lot of dead snails over there. You can plan them."

Nix turned and ran over.

Neville and Seamus both followed.

Hermione, who had been paying attention to Nix's actions, pulled Harry and Ron to follow.

Draco Malfoy, always trying to satirize the Gryffindor students, was also aware of their actions.quietly followed.

Nix found a snail that was not seriously rotted, turned the wood next to it into a knife, and stabbed hard at the carapace.

With a sound of "ding", the knife broke.

"So hard." Neville marveled.

Nix whipped out another knife, and this time he turned the snail over and slit open the soft belly.

The internal organs are no longer mixed together, and they are all clearly divided.But the snail was still a mollusc, and Nix took out its body smoothly.

Seamus threw a flame at the piece of meat.

It didn't take long for the meat to be burned to ashes.This shows that the fried-tailed snail itself has no ability to defend or transfer heat, and it depends on the carapace not to be stuffed.

Nix thought for a while, took out a tool used to test the temperature in potions class, put it on the ground, and covered it with a carapace.He got up and took a few steps to look at Simo.

Seeing what Nix meant, Seamus kept a ball of fire burning on the shell.

After a while, he extinguished the fireball.Nix stepped forward to check.

The carapace was a little red from the burn, and the outside was a little hot, but the inside was still at room temperature, unchanged at all, and the tools left inside to test the temperature were intact.

Simo also touched the inside: "What's the reason? It's not hot inside?"

"I don't know." Nix said, "It's so hard and resistant to high temperatures, it feels very suitable for making armor."

People around did not respond.

The battles of wizards are all spells and curses. What everyone pursues is faster fire rate and greater power. No one has ever dueled in armor. It is too bulky and can only be left in place as a target.

"I remember it can reflect spells, right?" Ron said suddenly.

This made everyone re-examine the carapace while thinking about Nix's words.

A pair of armor, a pair of armor that can reflect magic spells. Wearing it in battle doesn't need to defend, just attack with all your strength. It's just that the school stipulates that school uniforms must be worn, and there is no chance to wear them in school.

Ron looked at the scattered dead snails and murmured, "These are all Galleons!"

Hermione didn't say a word. These snails were not killed, but died during the breeding process. She didn't object to selling them for money.Her idea is to use the money to develop the "House Elf Rights Promotion Association", so that more wizards can care about the physical and mental health of house elves and give them freedom.

Nix walked back with the carapace.

"Don't you want the others?" Neville asked after him.

"This is Hagrid's, you have to ask him? I plan to collect some and make a set of armor." Nix said.

Seamus, who stayed where he was, turned around. He wanted a little too, to make a pair of gloves.Although his relationship with Hagrid is not that good, he can still get one or two, and the left glove is more than enough.

Harry was pulled back by Hermione in a hurry.

Hermione wanted to sell the shells of the snails for charity, and there were ready buyers in front of her. As long as Hagrid handed over all the snails to Harry for disposal, Nix could only buy them.She didn't plan to sell it too expensive, Nix wouldn't care about that little Galleon.

Draco wished everyone else would leave, he could sneak a few with him.

His wish came to nothing though, and Ron stayed and stared at him.

"You're going to take all the snails away after we're all gone, right?"

Draco was disappointed in his heart, but his expression was very disdainful: "I won't touch such disgusting things."

After speaking, he left with his followers.

Nix found Hagrid almost at the same time as Hermione.

"Hagrid, I need some snail shells." Nix said unhurriedly.

"Hagrid, I want all the snail shells," Hermione said eagerly.

Hagrid was stunned for a moment, he thought the two were together, and said to them, "Okay, go get it yourself, as long as you don't kill the living ones, you can use the dead ones as you like."

Hermione was disappointed, this meant that Nix could take whatever he wanted without paying.

When collecting the carapaces, Hermione asked curiously, "Nix, how do you plan to divide them up? They are very hard, corrosion-resistant, and reflect magic spells."

"Use the potion to soften and cut." Nix was very confident in the potion, and at least he had the pharmacist's sequence.

Seamus interjected, "Can you make me a pair of gloves?"

"Okay." The Knicks had a lot of ideas.Make Sealed Items!The cloak failed last time, but at least he has mastered the method of making a sealed item.Maybe making a powerful Sealed Artifact this time will not be afraid of Barty Crouch Jr. causing trouble.
