You select
the choice that says “Bubotuber”.  The magical
barrier shuts down and you see a plant that looks like a giant black slug with
covered with shiny protrusions. You remember that it is the gas-scented yellow pus
collected from those pustules that can treat acne, but only when diluted with
dittany or Gillywater. The pus in its original state will cause rashes and
burns on contact. If that happens, you have to cleanse the wound for five
minutes under cold water before applying dittany.

The display
on the Bubotuber says that everything is good, so it can be concluded that the
soil is still dark and rich in nutrients and that it didn’t get too much
sunlight. When required, you’ll just have to add plenty of Dragon dung to
fertilize the soil.

You also
know that Bubotuber can stand very cold weather.

You step to
the next magical barrier. Its riddle is:

“I go by
different names such as myrtle grass and sweet myrtle and though I am toxic, I
can still help cure tooth aches, burns and eye diseases amongst others.”
