Chapter 62 Antidote
Chapter 62 Antidote
"Should we contact Wizard Hyde directly to hand it over?"
Ian immediately fell into thought.
But the idea was quickly rejected because it was far too high-profile.
Moreover, he can only obtain magic stones for analyzing materials, but he may not be able to get magic stones for antidotes.
Because concocting a new potion is not that simple.
Ian might be able to configure it, but it would take a long time.
So Ian has another option.
That is through collaboration with Vivian.
He analyzes the materials, and then Vivian configures them.
Vivian is the vice president of the Potions Department and one of the few senior pharmacists in the department.
Knowing the ingredients, it wouldn't be difficult for her to concoct an antidote.
Moreover, based on his understanding of Vivian, if he succeeds, he will definitely not treat her unfairly, and he may even give up the reward.
Because Vivian didn't lack magic stones, all she cared about from beginning to end was the power in the new department.
"But there's no rush, just wait a day or two."
Ian silently put away the poison he had distributed.
They left with the other wizards.
........
In the blink of an eye.
Two days have passed.
The Potions Department is brightly lit even at night.
All the wizards were working overtime; when they were tired, they would rest directly in the laboratory, and when they were hungry, servants would bring them food.
Although it was hard work, the potion's effect on breaking the curse was not very good.
After all, the Blackrock School used it as a surprise tactic, so they must have been confident that the Blackrock School couldn't crack it.
So after two days, they only managed to identify three or four effective ingredients and filter out two or three useless materials.
Meanwhile, the front lines were also in a state of chaos due to the issue of medicine.
Many resource points were forced to be abandoned.
This also puts even more pressure on the Potions Department.
Seeing that it was almost time, Ian went up to the third floor and knocked on Vivian's door.
"Enter!"
Vivian's voice wasn't as calm as usual, and Ian could detect a hint of anxiety in it.
Sure enough, once inside...
At this moment, Vivian was in the experimental area, where various materials and experimental equipment were being used simultaneously.
She looked much more haggard.
Vivian raised an eyebrow when she looked up and saw Ian.
"Is there anything important? If it's not important, we can talk about it later, after I finish this experiment."
Vivian only glanced at it, but didn't stop what she was doing.
This is a huge opportunity for her.
Normally, even if Ian advances to the training sequence, the likelihood of her taking over the Strategic Medicine Supply Department is not very high.
But this time Hyde has made it very clear to them.
Whoever comes up with the antidote first will become the person in charge.
Hyde's words made their previous conflict seem like a joke.
But this is the right of a top wizarding apprentice within the school.
It also gave her an opportunity.
So since entering the lab, she hasn't even closed her eyes, and she's turned down all unimportant things.
"Minister, I've deciphered the potion's ingredients."
Ian said directly.
"Have you analyzed the components? What kind of material is it?" Vivian looked up, her eyes lighting up.
Every time her subordinates analyze a material, it saves her time.
"all!"
"All...wait...all?"
Vivian was taken aback at first, but then her eyes widened and she made a sound of surprise.
all?
These two words seemed to possess a magical power, causing Vivian to lose her composure.
But then she realized something was wrong.
How could Ian, a junior pharmacist, possibly analyze all the ingredients?
"Yes, Minister, I actually have a special talent; I'm particularly sensitive to potions, and I can even analyze most of their ingredients!"
Ian nodded and said.
Talent is not uncommon; in fact, many wizards possess special talents due to their mental strength.
At this moment, Vivian became serious.
If it's talent, then that's certainly plausible.
This also explains partly why Ian has been able to concoct potions so quickly; such talent is indeed a great help to apothecaries.
At the same time, this also seemed to give rise to a certain hope in her heart.
If it's true.
That......
"Tell me the ingredients. Don't worry, if I can really concoct an antidote, I won't accept any reward."
Vivian promised.
Vivian Ian was still trusted, and she listed all the materials, but she didn't specify which ones were useful and which ones weren't.
The former is somewhat reasonable, but the latter is just too exaggerated.
As she listened to each piece of information, Vivian's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
She had been studying the potion for over a day and had deciphered some of the materials. But what Ian said was not just these; there were many other things she suspected might exist.
This made her even more convinced that Ian might not actually be joking.
"Come be my assistant and filter out the truly effective ingredients and the ineffective ones."
Vivian spoke directly to Ian.
"Yes, Minister."
Ian nodded and immediately got involved.
Since Ian already knew which ingredients were effective and which were ineffective, he was able to easily filter out many of them at this stage.
But in Vivian's eyes...
That would be a completely different feeling.
"What a terrifying intuition for potions."
Vivian was secretly alarmed.
At that moment, she finally understood why Ian could learn so many potions in such a short time.
His talent for potions is truly astonishing.
In the blink of an eye, a day has passed.
The active ingredients were analyzed one by one.
Two more days passed.
A bottle of pale green potion appeared in Vivian's hand.
Take a drop of the toxic liquid, then add it to the pale green liquid. You will see the black liquid hissing, but it will quickly turn white.
"It's done!"
Vivian, who had been in the lab for three or four days, now had an unprecedented gleam in her eyes.
Vivian gave Ian a hug right away.
Ian, instantly invigorated by the sight of the soft fabric beneath the wizard's robes, perked up considerably.
"Ahem!"
Vivian then realized what was happening, released her hands, and blushed slightly!
She addressed Ian solemnly:
"Ian, thank you."
"It all comes down to your potion-making skills, Minister."
Ian shook his head.
"No, without your help, I couldn't have configured it in such a short time. You deserve at least half the credit."
Vivian shook her head.
The most difficult part of preparing an antidote is deciphering its ingredients; the subsequent preparation of the antidote is actually simpler.
It's fair to say that Ian really helped her a lot this time.
"Let's go see Minister Hyde!"
Vivian grabbed Ian's arm and walked out of the department.
