Chapter 396: The Potion Worth Three Hundred Galleons
Chapter 396: The Potion Worth Three Hundred Galleons
For the next two hours, Kyle recounted in detail everything that had transpired in the Chamber of Secrets the previous year.
Nicole was not particularly interested in the process, but when it came to the beginning and the end, he asked many questions about the details, including how Kyle felt when time was reversed, whether there were any special occurrences, and even the changes in the environment.
Some of these questions were things that even Kyle himself had not paid attention to. At that time, he was busy communicating and learning with Riddle, so how could he have the mind to care whether the Chamber was cold or hot?
Two hours later, Kyle, with a parched throat, picked up the cup on the table and drank the now-cold tea in one gulp.
During the conversation, he had also suggested using a meditation bowl to allow Nicole Lemay to see for herself.
As the famous alchemist, Nicole Lemay surely had a meditation bowl, and even if she didn't, he could probably create one on the spot.
But Nicole Lemay shook her head.
"I must tell you, child, that extracting memories is not a simple matter. Only wizards proficient in Memory Charms can accomplish this."
"And there's another thing..." he continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you must have learned the Mind Lock Spell a long time ago, right?"
Kyle nodded.
The Mind Lock Spell was one of the spells he had studied for the longest time, and he had never stopped practicing it over the years, especially after being reminded by Rowena Ravenclaw.
"Then there's no other way."
Nicole said, "For wizards who have mastered the Mind Lock Spell, no one can extract their memories except themselves, not even me or Albus."
"Actually, I can give it a try..." Kyle said, "There used to be a Memory Charm master at Hogwarts, and he gave me a set of notes that recorded all his insights into Memory Charms. I learned a lot from them."
"Oh, is there a Memory Charm master in Hogwarts?"
Nicole Lemay looked slightly surprised, "Albus has a great eye for talent, I must admit. In terms of professor selection, Beauxbatons is indeed inferior to Hogwarts."
"Perhaps... that's the case..." Kyle gave an awkward laugh, feeling embarrassed to mention the current situation of the Memory Charm master.
It would be embarrassing to reveal that a professor with a false identity had not only lost his memory but also been sent to St. Mungo's.
Misunderstandings are just misunderstandings, and reactions are not important.
Kyle quickly changed the subject, "I can try..."
"No, it's still not possible!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted.
"Perhaps you want to say that after reading the notes, you've made significant progress in Memory Charms, but I can't take the risk..."
Nicole Lemay pointed to his forehead and said seriously, "Your mind is more valuable than the things I want to know, so it's a no!
"And there's no need. From your description, I already have a clear understanding of the situation."
Nicole Lemay waved his hand, and the blue-green reliefs and shelves around them instantly disappeared, replaced by a wall covered in various magical runes.
Under his command, one by one, the runes lit up, twinkling like stars.
Nicole murmured, "Unlike existing Time Transfigurators, its ending doesn't seem to align with the original timeline. Instead, it appears to require the fulfillment of certain necessary conditions, making these runes unnecessary..."
He waved his hand again, and some of the runes on the wall dimmed, but the newly lit runes outnumbered the original ones, totaling several hundred.
Nicole kept rearranging the magical runes, forming different symbols and then combining them into new patterns. Kyle quietly watched from the side without interrupting.
To be honest, Kyle didn't understand Nicole's actions at all, so he could only try to remember them all.
But after ten minutes, Kyle gave up.
It was meaningless; there were hundreds of different combinations of magical runes, and it was almost impossible to remember them all.
Moreover, Kyle also realized that Nicole seemed to be just trying out different possibilities, in other words, he was making drafts and not the final answer.
However, what surprised Kyle was that Nicole's draft-making process lasted an entire night.
When he stopped and the runes dimmed, it was already the next morning.
After watching the advanced magical runes all night, Kyle felt dizzy and his mind was in a daze.
On the contrary, Nicole seemed even more energetic than the day before.
"It's incredible..."
"Sorry, Kyle, I forgot you were still here..."
After noticing Kyle's unusual state, he clapped his hands, and the house elf Tata brought over a bottle of light pink potion.
"Drink this, it'll be good for you."
Kyle took the potion and drank a big gulp.
The next second, the previous dizziness disappeared.

"What is this?"
"It's a brain-boosting potion that I prepared myself," Nicole said, "I always drink some when I need memories from hundreds of years ago. It's very useful."
Kyle nodded and couldn't help but ask, "Is it troublesome to brew this potion?"
"Not at all, it's very simple."
"If you like it..."
Nicole smiled and tapped the table with his finger, and a piece of parchment appeared in front of Kyle.
"Consider this as my Christmas gift to you."
"Thank you, Nicole," Kyle quickly picked up the parchment.
This brain-boosting potion was indeed very useful. Although he didn't need it much during his time at Hogwarts, it could be helpful for others.
Coincidentally, Conna had also started to delve deeper into the study of ancient Runic, so it was just what she needed.
There was also Cedric, Autumn, the Weasley brothers, and many others could use it...
Kyle glanced at the parchment, and his mouth twitched involuntarily.
As Nicole said, the brewing method was indeed very simple, and it only required six ingredients.
But to put it simply, the cheapest ingredient was a unicorn horn, priced at about fifty Galleons per ounce.
In other words, the cost of brewing this potion was at least fifty Galleons.
Kyle took a deep breath, folded the parchment expressionlessly, and stuffed it into his pocket.
As they left the room, Nicole was still excited about his recent discovery.
"I feel like I've found the right path," he said, "But this requires multiple attempts and a lot of time, like the situation we just had.
For a six-hundred-year-old like me, it's quite a challenge."
They sat down at the dining table, and Tata immediately served a sumptuous meal.
