Vol 2 Chapter 333: Gambling (Part 1)

Horace Slughorn, the size of an ant, has stepped into the gate of the castle.
Jon was about to follow him when he suddenly felt Mrs. Diana Greengrass behind him gently pull him.
"Are you sure?" Mrs. Greengrass lowered her voice and asked with some concern.
"Honestly, no." Jon shook his head calmly: "But it's not completely out of chance."
Mrs. Greengrass hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, "Is the locket you took out just now really the relic of Salazar Slytherin... If it is true, it would be too precious. !"
"It should be true, but it should not be as precious as you think." Jon smiled reluctantly: "Even if you lose to him, it doesn't matter!"
A Slytherin relic is indeed invaluable, but when it has been transformed into a Horcrux for a while and left a large number of black magic marks on it, its value will be greatly reduced; not to mention that this Horcrux belongs to Voldemort, Voldemort is not dead yet!
So Jon has already made his calculations, and it doesn’t matter if he loses this bet...
It's just that it's even more difficult to find a chance for Slughorn to speak.
"Jon, good luck!" Mrs. Greengrass sighed softly, "Let's go, and enter that castle..."
"...Just close your eyes and go forward, don't look back." She added.
...
According to Mrs. Greengrass' orders, Jon closed his eyes, and then strode towards the location of the "toy" castle.
Just when he was about to step on the collapsed city wall
He suddenly felt that his body was continuously descending, like taking an elevator downstairs quickly... After opening his eyes, he realized that it was not descending, but his body was getting smaller.
The world around him began to magnify sharply, turning into Jon the size of an ant, looking at him in a panic. The city wall that can be stepped over with just one foot is now taller than two floors; things like desks and wardrobes have become like mountains; not to mention Mrs. Greengrass who is like a giantess...
Horace Slughorn was inside the city gate and saw Jon's embarrassed look. He laughed and said, "It looks like you are not used to such a journey!"
"Yeah!" Jon nodded in a jealous manner.
Mrs. Greengrass also followed, but she was much more elegant than Jon.
"Come with me!" Professor Slughorn said triumphantly: "It has been a long time since no one has visited the Slughorn family castle!"
Cross the suspension bridge over the moat, enter the city gate, and then a small road. The left side of the path is covered with dense and low thorns, and the right side is a tall and neatly trimmed hedge.
The cry of "buzzing" suddenly came from the sky.
The two visitors quickly looked up and saw a huge mosquito flying towards this side. It looked the size of a small helicopter, and its compound eyes and parasites were clearly visible, which was a bit disgusting.
"Damn bug!" Slughorn's face changed, he quickly took out his wand and shouted:
"Stupefy!"
A red light passed by the mosquito’s wings, and the mosquito was expelled

go away.
Judging from such a fierce reaction, Slughorn in the form of "ant" may have suffered from mosquitoes...Jon secretly thought.
"What a disgusting creature!" The frowning Slughorn put away his wand, then turned around: "Let's go, guys...we're almost there!"
...
They entered the castle and walked through several empty halls... A few minutes later, Horace Slughorn led them through a brass gate to the basement of the castle.
In the basement, it looked like a small library...The dense shelves were neatly arranged in rows, but the things placed on them were not books, and potions and medicinal materials that had been processed.
"The top of the first row is the horn of a double-horned beast. I got it from an old witch in Tanzania. It weighs 26 pounds. I swear it is definitely the largest double-horned horn in the world. One of..."
"...There is also the small bottle on the leftmost side of the second row. It contains blood snake venom, which is very, very precious. A pint is worth a thousand gallons..."
"There is also the bottom row, the small box wrapped in glass, there can be a..."
Horace Slughorn is a treasured treasure, and introduced his precious collection to two visitors:
"If we want to formulate a blessing potion... the materials of a blessing potion..." He began to shuttle between the shelves, and said to himself:
"First of all, we need the eggs of the fire gray snake... and the anemone-like tumor on the back of Motra Rat... and a bottle of thyme tincture..."
Mrs. Greengrass obviously didn’t know much about the aspect, UU read www.uukānshu.com, she stepped aside with interest... while Jon bowed his head solemnly, as if thinking about something or recalling something. what.
...
Soon, Slughorn had commanded the wand, took out dozens of large and small bottles and jars, and placed them on the potions stands behind the shelf.
"Shall we start?" He turned around and said to Jon:
"The eggs of the fire gray snake have been treated with cross flower roots, turnips and goublai fairy fire for three months; the mixture has also been heated with the cured Motra tumor for more than two months; materials I’ve already prepared for the pre-processing of the game in advance...Of course, if you want to handle it by yourself, I’m not against it, but then you have to stay in my castle for nearly half a year!"
"No problem, just use your pre-processed materials, Professor Slughorn." Jon nodded, "I believe there will be no problems with your processed materials."
"That's natural!" Slughorn raised his head confidently, then waved his magic wand.
Then, a brown glass bottle flew towards Jon... Jon took it, and then opened it gently; after taking a glance at the flattened ball-shaped object in the glass bottle, he quickly closed the bottle cap and Put it back on the potions table in front of him.
"Let's start!" Jon said actively.
He bent down and lit the cauldron.
"Remember to be more cautious when handling, and don't blow up my potions laboratory later..." Slughorn glanced at Jon with some worry, his face suddenly changed.
He screamed, "Oh, Merlin's beard...what are you doing?"
"Do you want to destroy my castle?"
