Upstairs in the house where the children in the refugee community lived, Willie's room was filled with a lot of steam, making the room hazy.
On the desk in the corner of the room, the exquisite desk clock was making a clicking sound, and its hands were pointing in the same direction as the time in the Burrow.
Or to be more accurate, at this moment, Delphi over at the Burrow seemed to have not woken up from his semi-conscious state.
"Danglang—"
Suddenly, the sound of glass containers colliding with each other sounded from the other side of the room, breaking the tranquility here.
"Miss Lovegood, bring your mortar over there too! It's almost time."
The one who spoke was Willy, and she had stood up from the chair. She was holding a stirring rod in her left hand, and she was holding two glass beakers of different sizes lightly but steadily with her right hand. The collision sound just now was caused by the two beakers slightly touching each other.
And on the edge of the bed not far from her, Luna watched her walking towards the crucible as she spoke, and then she also got up and brought over a mortar containing some powdered materials. .
She had been helping Willy grind the potion ingredients before, but while she was waiting for the potion in the crucible to boil completely, her work had already been completed.
"When these last three materials are put in one after another, it will basically be considered complete."
As Willie said, she suddenly put down the beaker and took out the wand. She waved it twice to disperse some of the medicine mist that was constantly evaporating in the crucible, and then she looked into the situation inside.
After confirming that the medicinal solution had indeed reached the required state, she picked up the two beakers again and poured the two juices into the crucible in sequence.
"Bang!"
It must be said that the reaction was huge, and the steam that originally came out of it immediately turned into a dark green that looked somewhat suspicious.
At this moment, Willie immediately picked up the stirring rod in her left hand, put it into the crucible and slowly drew a circle in a clockwise direction.
"Miss Lovegood, add the powder of dried purple vine, little by little."
After hearing what Willy said, Luna immediately brought the mortar in her hand over and slowly sprinkled the powder in the mortar into the hot liquid that had formed a small vortex due to constant stirring.
After all three ingredients were put in, Willie immediately retracted the stirring rod. When the rotating liquid gradually returned to its original boiling state, she stretched out her wand and tapped it lightly on the crucible.
"puff-"
Accompanied by a large puff of dark green steam rising suddenly, Luna and Willy subconsciously took two steps back and vigorously fanned aside the medical mist that came towards their faces.
"It's okay," Willie said while fanning, "the steam is not only non-toxic, but also has a soothing effect."
But having said that, such a large amount of steam is not only extremely hot, but also somewhat choking. After a while, as the liquid slowly cooled down, their vision became much clearer again.
"Wait a little longer, and after it cools down naturally, you can take it to little Delphi."
Willy sat back on the chair before, and then stretched out her hand to indicate to Luna that she didn't have to stand like this.
"The recipe for this potion was developed by a certain generation of ancestors of our family - you should know that it is because of the blood curse inherited by our family. In fact, when I was a child, I often had high fevers suddenly, and the younger I got, the more... The symptoms become more severe as time passes, and basically the fever will not completely stop until you reach the age of magic riot."
At this point, she pursed her lips and said:
"So... I think little Delphi will experience that again in the future!"
"So, in fact, she is not in any danger?" Luna blinked, looked at her and said, "No wonder, you don't seem to be very anxious."
"Well, with this potion to reduce her fever, generally speaking, there is not much danger." Willy responded, but at the end she shook her head slightly, "But if little Delphi really knows how to If she becomes like when I was a child... No, actually I don't know very well. Logically speaking, her situation should be completely different from mine."
Yes, because the so-called "Blood Curse Substance" has already been discovered by Maka. Now, Maka has personally entrusted it with the task of finding its successor.
Although the process of finding and giving inheritance is somewhat beyond Willy's control, at least... it should no longer be called a "curse" in itself, but a "power" entrusted to it by Maka. .
"That's right," Willy said at the end after thinking for a while, "although I am also very worried about little Delphi - she is still too young after all, and I am even more concerned about what happened last night. . But the power itself shouldn’t be something terrible... at least that’s what I think.”
Although when Willy said these words, her expression and tone were still very calm. However, Luna had naturally noticed the fluctuations in Weili's heart.
Especially, when it comes to Maca.
After Weili finished speaking, he paused slightly, but Luna smiled and said:
"Since you trust Maka, you must trust it to the end! Maka gave this 'task' to you instead of someone else, which means that he also believes that you can complete it well - just like you trust him. . If you always worry about failure, you will betray the trust of others."
When Luna finished saying this, Willie gradually fell into a new round of contemplation. Seeing this, Luna didn't speak any more, and picked up a herbal medicine book that Weili usually read from the desk not far away, and started reading it with interest.
The liquid in the crucible cooled faster than expected. After a while, the steam in the room had completely dissipated, and the "gurgling" movement in the crucible gradually disappeared.
It was only then that Willie seemed to have just come back from her thoughts and glanced towards the silent crucible.
"The potion is ready... Luna, I will give you a bottle first, and you can take it to little Delphi. I will pack the rest and give it to Cathy and the others for later use."
"oh."
Luna responded subconsciously, then looked at her and said:
"Well... don't you send it to little Delphi yourself? If you want to bottle it, I will do it."
After hearing what Luna said, Willie finally shook his head after hesitating for a moment.
"No."
