Chapter 157 Ent Beverage
Dui watched with anticipation as Shuxu placed the Ent drink on the stone table in front of him.
Faced with a stone table as tall as him, Duy refused the tree's offer to lift him up to drink, and instead waved his wand to conjure three high chairs so that he, Gandalf, and Alma could reach the table.
As for Shuxu, he refused Dui's offer to turn him into a chair. He first dipped his two big feet into the large stone basin into which the stream flowed, as if absorbing water, and then leisurely drank his huge bowl of beverage in one long breath.
Dui also sat on a high chair, leaning against the edge of the stone table in front of him, and formally tasted a large bowl of Ent beverage.
He picked up the large bowl with both hands and took a sip. The drink tasted like water, with an indescribable, faint fragrance that reminded him of the scent of an evening breeze in the forest.
The beverage tasted rather bland, but Dui's attention was focused on the changes in his body.
The drink possessed a magical, life-giving power. After drinking it, the energy slowly rose from his toes, filling his limbs and even his scalp with vitality, causing his hair to stand on end.
But to Dui's even greater surprise, under the influence of this vitality, his internal organs were slowly becoming stronger, his bones were becoming harder, and his muscles were becoming denser and more resilient.
Even the magic power within him was visibly increasing!
Make big money!
Dui's eyes were filled with surprise.
This isn't just a beverage; it's a miracle drug!
Moreover, it's a panacea for comprehensively improving physical fitness!
Dui couldn't wait and gulped down the rest of the Ent drink.
After drinking a large bowl of beverage, his stomach felt quite full.
Meanwhile, the effects of the Ent drink were constantly strengthening his body, making him feel drowsy.
Alvin, noticing Duy's change in expression, asked with concern, "Duy, what's wrong?"
Dui shook his head: "I'm fine, it's just that the drink is a bit too strong and makes me feel sleepy."
But looking at Alwen, who had also drunk the Ent beverage but hadn't changed much, and Gandalf, who was sipping it slowly like wine, Dui could only click his tongue in amazement.
It seems that the Ent drink has different effects on different people. For people with strong physiques like Alvin and Gandalf, the drink does not have a very obvious effect.
Only he, a fragile mage, produced the greatest effect.
Gandalf, seeing Duy struggling to stay awake, smiled and said, "Duy, you should rest for a bit. You'll feel better when you wake up."
Shuxu generously gave up his bed so that he could take a nap.
Dui thanked Treebeard, but sleepiness kept creeping in. He didn't bother to use a Transfiguration Charm to make the bed more comfortable. He simply collapsed onto the haystack, and sleepiness instantly overwhelmed his consciousness, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Dui finally woke up from his sleep.
Although the tree-bearded bed was simple and primitive, it was not dirty. The dry grass and bark beneath it carried the fresh scent of grass and trees, as if one were resting in the forest.
"You're awake!" Alvin, who was by the bedside, noticed him immediately, her face lighting up with surprise. She stepped forward with concern and asked, "How are you feeling now?"
"I feel great!" Dui woke up feeling refreshed and full of energy.
"By the way, how long have I been asleep? What time is it now?"
"It's the second day now, and you've slept for a full twelve hours," Alvin replied with a smile.
"So long!" Dui exclaimed in surprise.
He then looked around and found that he did not see Gandalf or Treebeard.
"What about Gandalf and Treebeard?"
"They're all outside, waiting for you to wake up."
Upon hearing this, Dui immediately got off the stone bed.
However, as soon as he got off the ground, Dui noticed the changes in his body.
He seems to have grown taller?
Moreover, not only did he grow taller, but his body also became stronger and more powerful, and the muscles in his arms became firmer and more defined.
Even the magic power within his body has increased significantly!
It's equivalent to the effect of a year of meditation.
Dui's face immediately lit up with surprise.
Although he was mentally prepared, he was still overjoyed to receive such a reward.
Just then, he noticed that the check-in system had sent a notification, but he obviously didn't respond while he was asleep.
[Hogwarts Check-in System: Location: Fangun Forest, Check-in Now?]
"Sign in!" Dui thought to himself.
[Sign-in successful! Congratulations on receiving Severus Snape's Potions Notes!]
Looking at the thick notebook in front of him, Dui was a little curious.
Could it be the notebook that Harry Potter found in the Half-Blood Prince's notebook?
But upon closer inspection, it turns out that this is not entirely true.
This notebook contains all of Snape's Potions research notes from when he first enrolled until his death!
In addition to potion-making knowledge, it also records several spells created by Snape: the Earplugs, the Tongue Lock, the Toenail Growth Curse, the Upside-Down Bell and the Bell Falling to the Ground, and the Divine Sword.
Dui was overjoyed; these were the Potions Master's research notes!
It not only records Snape's improvements to many potions, such as simplifying the production process and replacing materials with better ones, but also includes many insights into potions, as well as in-depth analysis and research on the medicinal components.
With it, even someone of mediocre talent can find a place in the world of potions.
Dui treasured this notebook.
With Snape's potions master notes, and Professor Sprout's herbal knowledge, he could find substitute potion ingredients in Middle-earth and create those magical potions.
For example, there are intelligence-enhancing potions that can improve intelligence, luck-enhancing potions that can make you lucky, and even elixirs of immortality!
Although Dui attempted to evolve the Animagus into a phoenix to gain the phoenix's immortality, he did not give up his pursuit of the Philosopher's Stone.
The Philosopher's Stone does not directly grant immortality, but rather serves as a key ingredient in the elixir of life. It is combined with other magical materials to create a potion that is taken regularly to achieve immortality.
Of course, the Philosopher's Stone's immortality has a flaw: while it can make people live forever, it cannot stop the body from aging.
So although Nicolas Flamel and his wife lived for over six hundred years thanks to the Philosopher's Stone, their bodies were extremely old and weak, and their bones were so brittle that they were afraid of breaking their bones even when they shook hands.
This is also why Nicolas Flamel ultimately gave up the Philosopher's Stone and chose to face death.
But Dui believes there is a solution.
The Philosopher's Stone cannot keep the body healthy and energetic forever, but potions may.
Among the potions are those that make people younger and those that give them boundless energy.
If he had the potions mastery of Snape, he might very well have been able to develop a potion that keeps people young.
When the Philosopher's Stone is combined with the potion of youth, that will be a form of immortality.
Now, good things come in pairs. Not only has his physical fitness improved, but he has also obtained the Potions Notebook. Dui's face is beaming with smiles.
Alvin was unaware of the system check-in, and seeing Du Yi smiling so happily, she asked in confusion, "You've grown taller, does that make you so happy?"
Dui snapped out of his daze and boasted with a bright smile.
"Growing taller is definitely something to be happy about, isn't it? I've grown a full five inches (13 centimeters) taller, which is a whole head taller than you!"
Dui was originally 1.85 meters tall, which is considered tall among ordinary humans.
But compared to the elves, they seem insignificant, since the elves are usually quite tall, generally around 1.8 to 2 meters.
Lady Galadriel, for example, was 6 feet 4 inches tall, or 1.93 meters.
While Alvin is not as tall as her maternal grandmother Galadriel, she is still 1.8 meters tall.
Standing next to Dui, who was only five centimeters taller than her, she felt very pressured.
But now Dui is already 1.98 meters tall, a whole head taller than Alvin.
This immediately gave him the confidence to stand by her side.
As a boy, no matter how tall you are, you are very concerned about your height.
Alwen watched as Dui childishly compared heights with her, her eyes sparkling softly, her smile gentle.
"Well, Mr. Duyle, now that you're all grown up, we should go outside. Treebeard and Gandalf are waiting for us."
The two then left Yongquan Hall and came to the flat ground outside.
Gandalf and Treebeard were sitting under a dome surrounded by trees. Gandalf was smoking his pipe and meditating quietly, while Treebeard was half-lying down with his feet soaking in a stream, as if he was daydreaming or recalling ancient memories.
Upon seeing this, Dui and Alwen slowed their pace and lowered their voices.
However, Gandalf and Treebeard noticed them and turned to look at them.
Gandalf exhaled a puff of smoke, looked Dui up and down, and joked with a chuckle, "Looks like you've grown quite a bit taller. This old man will have to look up to you from now on!"
"I've grown 5 inches taller!" Dui made no attempt to hide his joy.
Then he turned to Treebeard and said earnestly, "Mr. Treebeard, thank you for the Ent drink; it has been very beneficial to me!"
"This is a plant growth potion I made. It can make trees grow quickly. Please accept it!" He said, taking out a bottle of growth potion and placing it in front of the tree.
Dui knew that he was only able to be entertained by Treebeard because of Gandalf and Arwen.
Otherwise, if he were alone, it would be considered polite not to attack him.
Treebeard curiously took the bottle. He could feel the magic potion's attraction to plants, so he carefully opened the bottle and dripped a drop onto a small tree next to him.
The sapling grew rapidly in an instant, and in no time at all, it grew into a large tree.
Shuxu's eyes lit up at this, and he put away the medicine bottle, his gaze toward Dui becoming friendly.
I really like this gift!
"Wizard, do you have any more of this potion? I can trade with you for some of my brewed Ent beverage, how about it?"
Shu Xuwen made a request.
Dui was delighted to hear this, as he already had firsthand experience with the effects of the Ent drink.
It not only has powerful energizing and nourishing effects, making people feel refreshed and full of energy, but also promotes physical growth.
He certainly wanted that, but he was lucky enough to have drunk a bowl thanks to Gandalf, and it was impossible for him to have more.
Now that Treebeard is willing to exchange Ente Drink for the growth potion, he is naturally very willing.
So he traded his last bottle of growth potion for a can of Treebeard's Ente drink, which was three times the amount Dui had previously drunk.
Furthermore, Treebeard promised that if Dui ever made a growth potion, he could exchange it for Ent Drinks with him.
Of course, the quantity of Ent beverages is limited and the brewing cycle is long, so it is impossible to allow Dui to trade without restrictions.
