Chapter 158 Treatment Methods
Chapter 158 Treatment Methods
Alice had expected Vladimir to administer a complex series of treatments, or at least a spell, to her.But the other party only took away his necklace for research.
As for the problem of mana loss, he answered this way: "Take away the necklace, and your mana loss problem will not be further exacerbated."
"But what about the recovery of magic power?" Alice asked unwillingly.Her current level of magic power is no different from that of a squib, the only difference may be that she can still feel the weak magic power in her body.
"You can wait for nature to recover," Vladimir replied.
"How long will it take? One year?" Alice tentatively asked, thinking of the previous treatment cycle when the mana was exhausted.
"No, no, no," Vladimir waved his hand. "How could it be so fast? About five or six years. The natural accumulation and recovery of magic power is a very long process."
Five or six years? !Alice's mood was like riding a roller coaster, falling from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley.In five or six years, when her magic power recovers, she might not even be able to recite the spell.And before that, use magic like a squib?Then it's no different from a Muggle.
"Of course, you can also wait for me to figure out the properties of the Sorcerer's Stone powder, which should completely solve your problem." Seeing Alice's collapsed expression, Vladimir kindly added.
"How long will it take?" Alice raised hope again.If it is two or three years, she is not unacceptable.
"Seven or eight years, you know, this is the Philosopher's Stone after all." Vladimir replied with a smile.
"..." Alice took a deep breath and told herself not to care about the elderly.If there is an argument, it would be bad if the other party said that he couldn't catch his breath.
"Isn't that young man a master of potions?" Vladimir supported the sofa with one hand, and slowly stood up with his strength. "Get some potions to help restore magic power. It will take about three years."
Alice nodded hesitantly.Ordinarily, she should be satisfied, but she couldn't use magic for three years, and her mood was still involuntarily gloomy.And she can't use magic, which means she can't even be a nominal professor at Hogwarts.
"Of course there is an immediate solution, which is to find the person who has absorbed your magic power and get rid of him." Finally enjoying Alice's face-changing performance enough, Vladimir finally spoke out the fundamental treatment method.
Alice smiled at first, then fell down again.The one who can do something to herself can only be the crown, and the one who absorbs her magic power can only be the living Voldemort, but she can't beat Voldemort at all.And most importantly, Voldemort has so many Horcruxes, what does it mean to solve, is it to solve his body or how many Horcruxes including the body?
"Anyway, work hard!" Not knowing the truth of the matter, Vladimir staggered to his luxurious desk after perfunctorily cheering Alice on, "If you get rid of him, come to me, I can help you recover quickly."
Seeing Vladimir take out a thread-bound book of unknown age from the shelf, Alice asked a little at a loss, "Sir, don't you know who I am now?"
"Wait a little longer, that young man will come to pick you up." Vladimir, who was already immersed in the ocean of knowledge, replied lightly after hearing the words.
Alice really wanted to borrow a book, but she observed that the books on the bookshelf were very old, the kind of old and fragile that didn't have a spine.If it is accidentally broken, she may have to pay a lot of money to pay for it.
Grabbing her right hand that was about to move, she told herself to hold back, at worst, she would go to Lihen Bookstore after leaving.In fact, there are no new books in the bookstore, and the updating of wizard knowledge is too slow.
How about going to Headmaster Dumbledore?Since new knowledge cannot be found, it is better to find another way to explore the oldest knowledge.
Vladimir is reading and cannot be disturbed.In the next short time, with embarrassment and anxiety, Alice imagined from Dumbledore to the candy store, from the candy store to the zoo, and from the zoo to the unicorn.
Just as she was analyzing the feasibility of applying for a unicorn visit to Hall Zoo for a few days each month, Snape finally appeared.
"Hello." Unlike Alice's expected apparition, Snape came in from outside the door, and greeted Vladimir respectfully as soon as he entered.
Too lazy to answer, Vladimir nodded perfunctorily.
Snape looked at Alice, who turned her head away.
As expected, Snape was not surprised.He directly grabbed Alice's hand, greeted Vladimir, and even disapparated with the sofa.
Alice guessed that Snape didn't Apparate at first because there were certain magical restrictions in that place, and Vladimir's consent was required for Apparating.In addition, it may also prevent the feeling of disrespect caused by breaking into someone's room suddenly.
Back home, Snape waved his wand again, and the sofa returned to its original position.
Throwing Snape's hand away, Alice sat down on the sofa with a cold face.
"It's my problem. I shouldn't have taken you to see Vladimir without your consent, and let you face a strange environment alone." With experience, Snape spoke a long paragraph without pausing.
After not wanting to hear it, Alice became even more unhappy: "You clearly know that these are wrong, why do you still do this? Didn't you mean to make me angry?!"
Seemingly not expecting the reason for Alice's anger, Snape fell silent for a moment.
"You should discuss it with me before, for example, if there is a very powerful wizard or something, you don't need to tell me your identity," Alice said excitedly, "hint, do you understand hints?"
As long as there is a little foreshadowing before, she won't be blinded and restless the whole time.It's too bad to have no confidence and face the fear of the unknown.
"He demands that you know nothing about his identity or the upcoming meeting," Snape sighed, sat down beside Alice, and explained patiently.
A hermit scholar like this always has various eccentricities, and Vladimir's request is considered normal.He also knows that some people require visitors to meet in women's clothing, regardless of gender.
Seeing Alice's expression loosen, Snape continued: "And, he was the one who found me."
After Alice fell asleep, Snape went to Hogwarts to talk to Dumbledore about the loss of magic power.Dumbledore took this matter very seriously and was very worried about Alice's situation, but unfortunately, he had no solution for a while.
Reluctantly, Snape left Hogwarts.As soon as he got home, he saw Vladimir's letter on the dining table in the living room.In the letter, Vladimir expressed his interest in the issue of magic loss and invited Alice to visit his residence.Of course, the premise is that Alice herself knew nothing about it before the visit.
Hearing this, Alice finally couldn't hold back anymore, and she asked in disbelief: "So many people know about my loss of magic power?"
And the letter quietly appeared on the dining table in the living room, no matter how you think about it, there is a bit of horror.What if today is a letter and tomorrow is explosives?
"That's the problem," said Snape, frowning. "I'm sure only Dumbledore and I know about it."
"Is that the principal?" Alice asked uncertainly.After all, Vladimir is also an old man. It is normal for such a powerful wizard to have contact with the principal.
"Dumbledore doesn't know, I'm sure of that," Snape vetoed Alice's conjecture, "I went to Dumbledore again after seeing the letter in order to confirm Vladimir's identity. "
The moment he saw the letter, Dumbledore's surprise could not be faked.Although he didn't explain how Vladimir knew about it, he gave Snape an affirmative answer.
"You can understand him as the same person as Nicolas. It's just that compared to Nicolas, Vladimir is more unknown and has a more eccentric temper."
Under Dumbledore's reassurance, Snape, who had no clue about the loss of magic power, could only choose to believe it.
"I don't know why Vladimir knew about your loss of magic power, and I don't dare to risk telling you, I can only obey his request." Snape finally said.
After listening to a series, Alice's anger has long since disappeared, and all that is left is shock.Should it be said that this is indeed a magical world? This series of experiences can be called magical.
"Then you promise me that there will be no next time." Although she was no longer angry, Alice wanted to confirm again.
Snape also quickly gave an answer: "If it is not a similar situation."
"..." After a long silence, Alice said resignedly, "Well, at least it's honest enough."
Snape nodded, seeming to agree with that.
"Is that a compliment?" Alice retorted. "You think it's a compliment?"
"I think I can think so," said Snape matter-of-factly.
Rolling her eyes, Alice thought of what Vladimir said, and she said: "Vladimir said, the amber necklace containing the Philosopher's Stone powder is the medium, and after taking it off, my magic power will not be lost again. If I want to recover quickly, I must solve the root cause, and potion can also help me recover."
Knowing the difficulty of solving Voldemort, Snape thought for a while and said, "The potion used to cure the exhaustion of mana last time should be effective. I will brew it again tonight and try it then."
Relaxing and leaning on the sofa, Alice's mood improved and she saw the parchment on the coffee table beside her.
"Why is Fuqiu so fond of the Marauder's Map?" She picked it up as she spoke.
After reading the password and opening the map, Alice was stunned: "How is it possible?!"
Realizing that something was wrong, Snape looked over, and then frowned in disbelief: "How could it be him?"
