The sky was beautiful, the grass was beautiful, the forest was beautiful, the green was very pleasing to the eye, and the starry sky was very bright.
But it was also very boring.
The environment here was really good, but there was a problem.
Jon couldn't adapt.
He thought that he was a very adaptable person, but the environment here was really too good.
Jon, who was used to the busy life before, was at a loss. The nearest McDonald's was 28 kilometers away, and Jon suspected that he had entered the Amazon jungle.
In addition, there was no mobile phone, and there were very few TV programs. Jon sat on the recliner and looked at the starry sky for five hours, and finally couldn't hold it anymore.
Very good, he estimated that he wouldn't have to take a vacation for a few years.
Standing up from the recliner and straightening his sore waist, Jon returned to the house and opened his box.
"Wizard's Theory of Blood Activation" was lying in the box. After the herbalist Ms. Helga personally analyzed the formula and the herbs constructed in the Demon Fairy Castle, Jon obtained a simplified version of the formula for the blood purification potion.
The new formula was all recorded at the end of the book, in the newly added manuscript, and the types of raw materials needed were directly doubled.
The original 27 pages of formula and process, after Helga's simplification, became 63 pages of manuscript.
It was basically a new book.
But this was necessary. Some herbs' pharmacological characteristics required the combination of several herbs to be made. Most of the raw materials were not difficult to find, and many of them could be made with several more common and cheap herbs, but some special ones couldn't. This time, Jon came here mainly to find the most special herbs in the formula.
Flame Fruit, Snake Vine, and Cedar Flower.
They were all herbs that Jon had never heard of before.
In fact, the Flaming Fruit and the Snake Vine were also sold in Overturn Alley. However, the source of these two materials was the Dark Forest of Albania. They were accessories obtained by adventurers, so there was no need to spend money to buy them if they could find them by themselves.
Cypress flowers were not sold in the UK. They belonged to the category of herbs that had been forgotten over the years. If Helga hadn't seen them before, he probably wouldn't have thought of them.
However, Jon asked a botanist at the University of Greenwich about the flower that Helga had created in the Demon Fairy Castle. At present, this kind of flower was not produced in the United Kingdom. It could only be found in the higher latitudes of northern Europe.
Therefore, Jon was prepared to fly to Iceland for a vacation after he finished his work here.
He was using a fake identity that Joanne had given him.
In this world, no matter where it was, it was always better to have people around you.
After packing up, Jon began to prepare for bed.
In any case, there was still plenty of time, so there was no need to rush.
He had to find out more about the situation in the forest first!
…
The Ministry of Magic was actually not as bloated and incompetent as it was rumored to be.
The number of Wizard in the United Kingdom was actually quite large. After all, the average wizard's lifespan was there, and there were still tens of thousands of Wizards.
However, as mentioned before, the existence of a Wizard was essentially a representation of a strong individual, not a part of a strong whole. There was an ancient Chinese saying that went, "Chivalrous people use their martial prowess to break the law." This saying was correct. Because the strength of an individual was too strong, it was more difficult to control them.
However, in this aspect, education showed its usefulness. After many years of training by the Hogwarts, most of the Wizard who worked in the Ministry of Magic had a good tradition of keeping order.
Although most of the pure snow Wizard were not in this category, they also had a self-management system.
This was thanks to the elderly Wizard. When one was old, they would always hope that their children would be safe and sound. They would always hope that their old age would be smooth and that there would be no trouble.
Of course, there were pros and cons to this. The principle that the Wizard of the pure-blood families generally followed was to play it safe. They would not cause trouble, but they would also not stand out when something happened.
Most of the pure-blood families had maintained a neutral position when Voldemort rose to power. Families with elders in charge would not be like the Malfoys, who would be swayed by so-called beliefs. After all, Voldemort's deterrence was not directed at the pure-blood families. To them, how could beliefs be more important than the legacy of the family?
It was the same no matter who they were under. These pure-blood families had their own reserves of strength and naturally did not have to worry about being wantonly manipulated by Voldemort, so there was no need to worry.
Dumbledore was clear about this situation, and so were the people in charge of the Ministry of Magic. Everyone was as clear as a mirror in their hearts. They just did not want to cause trouble for each other.
The only thing that was not easy to deal with was those old fogeys who did not have any children. They hid in various places to prolong their feeble existence, which was a factor of unrest.
"At this time, other than that old fogey, there should not be any big problems …"
Jon sketched on the paper, tracing the route that he had figured out in the past two days. The Snake Vine was fine, and no one would pay attention to such a poisonous herb. However, the Blaze Fruit had been harvested.
Herbs like the Blaze Fruit could not be used in some low-level magic potions. Furthermore, the Blaze Fruit itself was full of medicinal power. Without the Cypress Dihua's neutralization, the old and frail Wizard would not be able to withstand the impact of the medicinal power. Even Dumbledore was no longer as strong as he was in his prime, not to mention these Wizard whose magical power was even weaker than Snape's.
However … if he really wanted to kill that old Wizard, Jon had to plan carefully. These old fogeys were all shrewd people. They had one set of life-saving methods after another. If he was not careful, he would be killed instead. Furthermore, his goal was to get the Blaze Fruit, and he only wanted three, not many. That old fogey had harvested more than ten fruits in one go. Who knew what he was planning?
He only wanted to take the fruits. As to whether that old fogey was the Black Wizard or not, whether he was dead or alive, it had nothing to do with him.
Fortunately, Jon had secretly taken a look. The Blaze Fruit was well preserved and had not been used. That old fogey probably knew the medicinal properties of this fruit, so he had preserved it well.
It was just that there were many protective charms and magic formations in the surroundings. Even if Jon had Ravenclaw's glasses and cheats, it was still very troublesome.
However, in this world, there was only a thousand days of being a thief. How could there be a thousand days of guarding against a thief?
