Chapter 374: Kid, Your Chance to Be a Hero and Save the Beauty Has Arrived
“Huff... huff... huff! Sorry, sir, I got a bit excited!” Draco slumped into the chair, taking quite a while to calm himself before apologizing to Josh.
“It’s alright, some things are indeed too overwhelming for a kid like you,” Josh shrugged in understanding.
“Sir, please, you must help me. I don’t want my father to keep going down the wrong path!” Draco said.
“Of course, that’s an easy thing for me!” Josh said without hesitation... Of course, for him, this wasn’t really boasting, since with his current power, the HP world’s level was truly too low.
The only thing that could somewhat interest him were the magical systems different from other worlds in the HP universe, and those magical creatures.
Otherwise, maybe the gods like Death, who may or may not exist, would catch his interest.
So to be honest, Draco as a trading partner didn’t mean much to Josh.
Power, lifespan, wealth, influence, treasures.
Josh had almost reached the peak of all these.
Unless it was something like the Seed of the Celestials that could elevate him, it was hard to excite his desire.
Therefore, most of the time now, Josh preferred to find some fun in the lower levels of people or things.
So he didn’t mind making some trades that were unequal from his perspective.
The biggest beneficiaries were naturally people like Dragon Mother, Yuri—those he met in humble beginnings—or kids he “watched grow up,” like Abbendis.
Also some trading partners he had a good impression of, such as Vickers from the Prometheus world, Jill from Resident Evil, and so on.
Obviously, Draco Malfoy was one of the HP characters Josh had a good impression of, so he was generous in offering him extraordinary help.
On the contrary, if it was Harry Potter, the official protagonist, or someone like Ron who was not so likable, or someone too clever like Dumbledore, Josh might not want to bother.
Not because they were bad, but Josh felt incompatible with these “righteous people.”
Before giving Draco formal help, Josh needed to confirm what time period Draco was currently in.
“Are you already studying at Hogwarts? What grade? What’s the exact date now?” Josh asked Draco.
Judging by Draco’s appearance and age, Josh guessed he should be just starting or about to start school.
“I just got into Hogwarts this year, I’m in Slytherin. The date today is October 30, 1991,” Draco quickly answered.
“Oh, the day before Halloween? That’s a great day! Your chance to be a hero, save the beauty, and win Hermione’s heart is here!” Hearing the date Draco gave and recalling his limited memory of the HP plot, Josh quickly remembered the corresponding storyline.
But the moment Josh said that, Draco jumped up, “Hermione? Hermione Granger? That dirty Mudblood?”
“Hey kid, I know you’ve been raised with pure-blood supremacy education all your life! But I’m telling you now, throw away that meaningless theory. In this world, only strength matters! Even your so-called Dark Lord doesn’t really believe that. The claim of pure-blood supremacy is just exploiting families like yours...In fact, your so-called pure-blood families were just ordinary humans—Muggles, as you call them—hundreds of years ago!” Josh frowned slightly hearing Draco call Hermione a Mudblood, then said.
“But...alright, I understand!” Draco wanted to argue but wisely chose to stay quiet after seeing Josh’s stern face.
“Draco, remember what I say: only animals care about bloodlines; humans only care about strength!” Josh lectured again.
Draco nodded but still looked puzzled. “But why Hermione Granger?”
“Because she will be the most outstanding female witch of your generation, bar none!” Josh said calmly. Among the trio of main characters, only this top student earned his respect.
And like many who have seen HP, Hermione marrying Ron—the “piece of crap”—was truly a waste.
“Then who will be the most outstanding male wizard of our generation? Harry Potter?” Hearing Josh say Hermione would be the best witch, Draco naturally got curious about who would be the best wizard, and the first name he thought of was Harry Potter, the “savior.”
“Harry Potter? Maybe...but that’s in the past. From today, you’ll be the best. Here, drink this first!” Josh said, initiating a trade with Draco.
“What’s this?” Draco looked curiously at a glass bottle filled with a sparkling liquid and a rune-engraved stone on the trade bar.
“That potion is called the Supreme Elixir. Drinking it will comprehensively enhance your physique and magical power. Once fully absorbed, you’ll even have a body as strong as a dragon’s. As for magic...even Dumbledore wouldn’t have one percent of your power!” Josh explained. “The rune stone is a silent barrier rune stone. Use your magic to activate it, and it will isolate all sound and magic within a 10-meter radius. I gave you this because drinking the Supreme Elixir is painful, and the rune stone prevents others from hearing your screams and disturbing you...Little guy, a hero like you shouldn’t be afraid of pain, right?”
While introducing the two items, Josh teased Draco.
The so-called Supreme Elixir was a new product Josh got not long ago from Abbendis of the Warcraft universe, created by Ancient One.
It was a fusion-enhanced version of the four famous elixirs in the Warcraft magic world: Titan Elixir, Super Energy Elixir, Refined Wisdom Elixir, and Multiple Resistance Elixir.
In games, these elixirs grant temporary buffs but in the real Warcraft universe, these buffs are permanent.
After all, the core ingredient, Black Lotus, doesn’t respawn every hour like in the game, but takes decades to grow one flower, making it incredibly rare.
If such an elixir only lasted two hours, it would be worthless.
Ancient One added the Sunwell’s well water, World Tree’s buds, and essence of the five-color dragons, plus other top alchemy materials.
Finally, this Supreme Elixir was created.
Its effect? Very powerful.
It allows an ordinary person to rapidly grow into a super strong being with the physique and magic power comparable to an adult dragon from the Warcraft universe.
The cost? Pain...a lot of pain.
