"Who are the target users for the Anesthetic Spray?"
"Wizards, Muggles, magical creatures…"
"Wrong. Without the protection of magic, Muggles using this Potion would be instantly paralyzed."
"Oh, right."
Harry quickly jotted down notes while answering Lucien's questions.
As soon as Harry finished writing, Lucien spoke again.
"What is the usage taboo for the Deodorizing Elixir?"
"Uh, I… I don't remember."
"It must not come into contact with open flame, otherwise its power is no less than a Confringo."
"…"
The more he taught, the more Lucien realized the problem was significant.
It was true that Harry had a talent for Potions, but that was more evident in practical brewing.
When it came to pure theoretical exams, he struggled to remember, especially the details of Potion usage.
It turned out this kid had only remembered the general effects before, and when he needed to use them, he just splattered them on people's faces.
No, he couldn't let him go out like this.
Lucien mused that Harry wouldn't affect his own magical attainments, but he would ruin his reputation in the education world.
Potion brewing would remain practical exercises, but his theoretical knowledge… hmm, memorization, dictation, homework, exams…
For no reason, Harry, who was still furiously writing, felt a chill.
Having finally finished his tutoring, Harry rubbed his wrist, which was stiff from too much writing.
"Lucien, thank you for healing me yesterday."
"That transparent liquid must be very expensive, I will repay you…"
Harry originally wanted to say he would compensate him with Galleons, but when he asked Lucien for tutoring before, Lucien said not to insult him with money, and Lucien didn't seem to be short of money.
"Uh, then I'll go to Gringotts to find a few more books. It's to thank you for your help this time!"
"Oh right, Hagrid has already gone to Gringotts for me. He should be able to bring back the books we talked about today."
Lucien nodded, not refusing.
It was indeed not difficult to make Lumina spit, but the value of qilin saliva itself was undeniable.
And judging by yesterday's performance, Lumina's qilin saliva had the effect of regenerating flesh and bones, far stronger than the local qilin saliva described in books.
Hmm, it seems Lumina is also a continuous treasure trove.
He could also research the effects of other materials from Lumina, such as shed scales, hair…
Speaking of which, could he use these to exchange for ingredients with Snape? He remembered that when he went to his office, there were many good things inside.
"Lucien, did I do something wrong last night?"
Hearing Harry's sudden question, Lucien was a bit surprised.
"Oh, why do you ask?"
Harry lowered his head and said dejectedly:
"If I had just run away then, maybe none of this would have happened."
"Luckily, it was me who got bitten, not Ron or Hermione, because of my showing off…"
Facing Harry's self-blame, Lucien did not directly comfort him, but asked an unrelated question:
"What do you think is the purpose of learning knowledge?"
Harry didn't understand why Lucien asked this.
"Is it to make myself smarter?"
Lucien first nodded, then shook his head.
"Learning knowledge can be to understand the world, to solve problems, or to arm one's spirit…"
"But knowledge should never be used to show off, or to put oneself and friends in danger."
At first, Harry listened in a daze, but at the end, he lowered his head in embarrassment again.
Seeing the future savior in this state, Lucien chuckled softly:
"However, your courage to protect your companions at that moment was completely right."
"Courage is, by its very nature, humanity's greatest anthem."
Harry looked up, listening intently to Lucien's words.
"Of course, besides courage and knowledge, sometimes you also have to learn to make a righteous retreat!"
Although he didn't quite understand, Harry nodded heavily.
…
"Alright, Harry, you memorize all this knowledge first. I'll give you a dictation when I get back."
After assigning Harry the memorization task, Lucien left the cabin.
Venturing slightly deeper into the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Lucien summoned Lumina.
"Come on, let's go see what magical creatures you found."
Ten minutes later.
Lucien, still using the combination of the Illusion Charm and Cloak Potion, recorded a group of magical creatures not far away:
Diricawl.
They are plump, flightless, and covered in downy feathers.
One Diricawl that Lucien was observing suddenly vanished, then instantly reappeared not far away.
Oh, an interesting ability.
The quill continued writing:
It can perform a short-distance, but very fast, teleportation.
At this point, Lucien recalled something interesting he had read in a book.
These magical creatures, Diricawls, were actually recorded in the Muggle world as well.
However, Muggles named them "Dodo birds."
Yes, the Dodo bird that was believed to be extinct.
Because these birds could disappear at will, Muggles didn't know, thinking they had hunted them to extinction.
But this actually promoted Muggles' awareness of animal protection, and they began to intentionally reduce excessive hunting and slaughter.
So the Wizarding Confederation felt that there was no harm in Muggles not knowing that Diricawls still existed.
Looking at these cheerfully playing fat little birds, Lucien thought of the records he had read in books before encountering the magic world, and the skeletons displayed in museums.
Hmm, not being discovered is also quite good.
After recording the characteristics and habits of the second type of magical creature, he also needed to measure their body data.
Lucien thought for a moment, preparing to use this opportunity to test something.
He wondered if Fang and Fawkes's closeness to him was due to his uniqueness as the Unicorn's master, and if it would also be effective on other animals.
He waved his wand to dispel the Illusion Charm and simultaneously removed the cloak oil from his body.
Lucien's presence was immediately exposed to the perception of those Diricawls.
With a whoosh.
All the Diricawls vanished.
Lucien waited patiently for a few seconds.
One, two, the group of Diricawls gradually returned to their original spot.
From a dozen meters away, they observed Lucien, who had suddenly appeared.
Looking at the way those fat little birds peeked around, Lucien understood something.
He did indeed cause animals to feel affinity for him now, otherwise these Diricawls would not have returned after running away.
They weren't silly roe deer that would turn back to see what the unknown danger was.
Hmm, it should be that as wild magical creatures, this group of Diricawls had stronger vigilance.
It was better not to approach rashly, otherwise they would probably be truly scared away.
If his trait of animal affinity truly came from the Unicorn, then…
"Lumina."
Lumina's figure quickly appeared beside Lucien.
As soon as they saw the Unicorn appear, the group of fat little birds immediately jumped up.
After carefully scrutinizing Lucien again, one Diricawl hopped over.
Immediately after, the group of Diricawls came flutter one after another.
Most of them circled around Lumina, and occasionally a bolder Diricawl would rub against its leg.
Only one Diricawl chick stood in front of Lucien, its pure eyes curiously looking at him.
Lucien knelt down and picked up this "extinct" "Dodo bird."
Hello there, little one.
