Vol 3 Chapter 53: Belladonna juice

News of the school hunting club's postponement of the opening ceremony went viral on Thursday morning.
There are all kinds of rumors in the school.
From the monsters attacking the school’s stronghold in the Mariana Trench, to the massive uprising held by the indigenous people of the New World, or this year’s rebirth of the Silent Forest brought some terrorist creatures, the school’s leaders have all To suppress the restlessness of the forest.
In short, weird remarks are endless.
Even after the pharmacy class started, there were still people whispering in the audience to discuss this issue.
Professor Li had to stop the opening remarks, and first announced the school's notice to everyone-he originally planned to notify it when get out of class was over.
"I know that many people have their own opinions on the postponement of this hunting meeting... This is not the reason why you are not taking classes seriously." Professor Li's voice floated in the classroom, as if he would hold his breath at any time.
This also forced many students to abandon their concentration and try to capture every word the professor said.
"Because the security situation in the school has been a bit tense recently, after careful discussions between the professors' joint meeting and the school working committee, in order to ensure the personal safety of school students, the opening ceremony of the school hunting club this year has been postponed to mid-October... The specific time has not yet been determined. But it will definitely be held before the frost."
"You should be able to get more detailed information from the counselor at the weekend class meeting."
"Well, I only know so much."
"I hope everyone can maintain an active learning state in the next class, and don't be disturbed by external factors in matters that you really need to pay attention to."
Having said that, Professor Li picked up the teacup on the lecture table and took a sip of tea slowly.
Then, he suddenly remembered something, put his hand into his robe, fumbled for a long time, and raised a glass vial.
It contained a small half bottle of purple-black liquid, which shone mysteriously in the sun.
"Does anyone know what this is?" Professor Li stretched his voice, and looked at the young wizards in the classroom with inquiry: "If you are not sure...oh, everyone knows."
The second half of his sentence was interrupted by the arms raised in front of the classroom.
Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise.
There are many dark purple liquids, such as grape juice, potassium permanganate solution, litmus test solution and so on. From a distance, looking at the little bottle that the professor held up, there is no way to determine exactly what it contains.
But beyond Zheng Qing's expectation, almost all the girls in the classroom raised their hands.
In contrast, among the boys, only Xiao Xiao raised his hand-it is not surprising that Dr. Xiao Da can even make the most of this year's popular perfume color style.
"What's in the bottle?" Zheng Qing pushed the big doctor next to him with his arm.
Fatty Xin and Zhang Jixin sitting in the front row also cleverly turned their bodies aside and pricked their ears.
"Belladonna juice." Xiao Xiao squirmed his lips slightly, and quickly explained: "Belladonna, also called Belladonna, is a perennial herb of the Solanaceae and belladonna genus. It is native to Europa and loves warmth and avoids cold and heat. , The smell is slightly bitter and pungent; the ripe berries are spherical, smooth, purple-black, and the juice is purple."
"But there are a lot of purple liquids!" Fatty Xin finally couldn't help it, turned his head, and retorted in a low voice, "I can read you a long list without going through the encyclopedia..."
"But the most popular purple liquid in school recently is belladonna juice." Xiao Xiao gave the fat man a blank expression: "This is why girls can recognize it, but you don't know the reason. "
"Why?" Zheng Qing asked curiously.
"Because the belladonna juice has the effect of cosmetic contact lenses." Xiao Xiao shrugged, and said the answer lightly: "This is a very old makeup method that first emerged in the Apennines... Medieval Italy, women wanted My eyes look bigger, and I will drip belladonna juice into my eyes... Actually, belladonna in Italian is spelled; donna, which means beauty."
";Donna?" Zheng Qing read this familiar word, feeling a bit familiar.
"Mrs. Bella?!" Fatty Xin looked like hell: "Mrs. Bella means a beautiful woman?...It's not an offense, but I didn't even notice where she is beautiful."
"Puff." Zheng Qing lowered his head, and his shoulders moved violently.
Mrs. Bella is the head nurse of the school hospital.
She is a tall female nurse with a strong physique.
As Fatty Xin said, there is a big gap between this name and the word beauty.
"Everyone's name entrusts good wishes, but not every good wish can come true." Zhang Jixin stopped the ridicule of several boys and said in a very serious tone: "The name is a very serious carrier. It is very impolite to laugh at someone’s name."
"Sorry." Zheng Qing held back his smile and expressed his apology with a serious face.
Fatty Xin snorted twice and quietly turned back to the front row.
On the podium, Professor Li didn't seem to notice the whispers between the few boys in the corner of the room. After lighting up a few girls to ask for answers, he waved his hand and motioned to others to put their arms down.
"I should have expected this result." The professor smiled lightly, gliding across the faces of the young wizards, and slowly explained:
"Just as the previous classmates answered...this is belladonna sauce."
"The syrup prepared with the juice of the ripe belladonna berries as the main raw material is often used by therapists in antispasmodic, analgesic, and antiperspirant prescriptions. It is very effective in the treatment of gastrointestinal colic and excessive gastric secretion. ...The standard wolf poison potion contains belladonna, which can curb the werewolf’s urge to mania and addicted to food and the pain of transforming to a certain extent."
"Of course, girls should be aware of another side effect of belladonna juice-pupil dilation."
"It is dilated pupils... Belladonna juice can expand your pupils to some extent, achieving the effect of non-physical lenses."
"But I took it out today, not to recommend this ancient herbal essence to everyone..."
The professor's statement was very interesting, and there was a suppressed laughter in the classroom.
"The belladonna contains a variety of alkaloids-including scopolamine, scopolamine, and a small amount of atropine-in the case of reaching a certain dose, they are deadly venom."
"Even if the dosage is strictly controlled, prolonged pupil dilation can cause loss of focus, decreased vision, and severely even intermittent blindness."
"As far as I know, no wizard can obtain a certificate as a registered wizard while blind."
"...Maybe because of the school hunting club. Recently, the transaction volume of herbal medicines like belladonna juice with a certain beauty effect on campus has risen rapidly...but Uncle Stendhal of Baicaoyuan is not happy at all."
"This is not good news."
"You should focus more on your schoolwork... so that after you truly become a registered wizard, you will have the same appearance in a hundred years, and you will have plenty of time to dress yourself up."
"If you haven't become a registered wizard, it won't take fifty years for you to be absent and old."
The classroom was quiet, everyone held their breath and listened carefully to the professor's intimidation.
Especially girls.
Zheng Qing noticed that Li Meng was holding her cousin's robe tightly, and his face was pale.
Her pupils also looked slightly larger than before.
I don’t know if belladonna juice was used.
On the podium, Professor Li's indoctrination continued.
"...You must know ~EbookFREE.me~ The school hunting club is just the beginning of the hunting moon, and the dance party is not all of the moon hunting... The moon hunting is a long activity that lasts a whole month... There are also hunting painting exhibitions and hunting Song contest and many other activities."
"Don't blind your eyes to the wider world."
"...Of course, at the end, I want to remind everyone...especially the ladies in the class."
"You are all young, both smooth skin and shiny eyes are very beautiful-youth is the best beauty medicine. It is also charming not to put belladonna juice in your eyes."
"The beauty maintained with potions is as addictive as poppies."
"It will kill you slowly like a poppy."
"Remember, everyone has a yearning for beauty. But don't do things that you regret in order to maintain beauty and youth."
"This kind of desire cannot be eliminated by a drop of venom. You will pay a high and heavy price for it."
