#102 - Potion Raw Materials

Lans, at first, refused a strange doctor who came to his door to promote himself.

Especially since this doctor was young and had an exceptionally stingy servant.

However, just as Lans was about to refuse, Albert, who was lying on the ground, suddenly spat out several mouthfuls of blackish-red blood.

He hurriedly took out the already filthy cloth to wipe away the blood.

"Hang in there, hang in there..."

Seeing the patient on the ground suddenly worsen, Chris knew her chance had come.

"I think he won't last seven days, of course, provided he doesn't have an excellent doctor and excellent medicine."

Hearing Chris say this, Lans made up his mind almost without hesitation.

"Okay, I ask you to treat him, but how will your consultation fee be calculated?"

"Three... uh, no, ten gold coins. You know, on this ship, I might be the only one who can save him."

"Okay, I agree."

When he first boarded the ship, Lans had only handed over all the gold on Albert's body, while the two hundred gold coins in his own purse remained on his person.

Chris hadn't expected this deal to succeed so quickly.

Seeing that the other party agreed to pay, she immediately crouched down and carefully examined the injured man's body.

After confirming that there was no immediate danger to his life, she found Cullen, the ship's first mate, and made her request.

While the little magician Chris was doing her first business deal, Brad also arrived at Moon's room.

"I really didn't expect that life on the ship would be even better than when I was a servant in the monastery. I even want to stay on the ship forever."

The small room where Brad lived on the ship, like the seventy-three people in the alley, was located on the second level below the deck of the ship. This area not only offered independent space, but also had better sanitary and lighting conditions than the lower-level cabins.

"Really? Are you giving up on your family's great horse-breeding business?"

Moon knew that Brad had always wanted to restore his ancestors' glory, and he had even proposed wanting to breed unicorns.

"I don't want to give up, but there's no way now. Vina Archipelago is full of seawater, how can you raise horses here?"

"Who says you can't? The area of the six main islands of Vina Archipelago exceeds the jurisdiction of Flowing Cloud City. Do you think you can raise horses there?"

After copying a map from Gorde, Moon also roughly understood the situation of the entire Vina Archipelago.

This archipelago is about the same distance from both the Menila Empire and the Gracia Federation, but because it is isolated overseas, it is rarely affected by war.

It is precisely because of this that the population on Vina Archipelago is much denser than on the mainland, and trade is also more prosperous.

"Is it really that big? Alas~, if only I had sold the location to that merchant just now."

Hearing Moon's explanation of the Vina Archipelago's situation, Brad was clearly a little regretful.

"Sell the location? What do you mean?"

"Just now, a wealthy merchant wanted to buy a location on the second level, offering a hundred gold coins. That price could buy three adult horses plus a foal."

"Then why didn't you agree?"

"It was Uncle Hall who stopped me. He said that we should not live with strangers when we are outside."

Moon felt that Hall was right, especially for old soldiers like them who had fought in wars, their life experiences were definitely very rich.

Since Hall believed that the location should not be sold to outsiders, Moon naturally would not refuse.

Brad, on the other hand, kept thinking about raising horses, which reminded Moon.

Most of the people who came out with him this time were old, weak, women, and children, and many of them did not have any skills.

And the time they would spend on Vina Archipelago would inevitably be very long, so before the food they had accumulated in the early stage ran out, they had to find a source of income that could truly sustain their lives.

Zalan had actually been thinking about this issue for the past few days, which was also one of the reasons why he had asked Gorde for a map.

However, even with his rich combat experience, he still found it somewhat difficult to find a path suitable for the seventy-three people to live on.

"Uncle Zalan, have you thought about what everyone will do after we get to the island?"

Looking at Zalan, who was always covering his face with the map and pretending to be asleep in the room, Moon asked curiously.

"Of course, it's hunting. I saw that Vina Archipelago still has many high mountains and jungles, and there must be prey in them."

"But just by hunting, it shouldn't be enough to support so many people, right?"

"Then we'll fish, anyway, it's all sea here."

Hearing Zalan's perfunctory reply, Moon sighed helplessly.

Vina Archipelago has a lot of sea, but there are even more people fishing.

Most importantly, the people who came out with them did not have much experience in fishing.

The people in Old Soldier Alley had mostly moved to Xilin after the war, so even though Xilin was very close to the sea, they did not have any life experience in this area.

Just as Moon was thinking about how to solve this problem, Cullen, the first mate of the Thorns, came to the door of the room.

"Sir Scarlett, the person you asked us to pay attention to has made a move."

The person Cullen was talking about was naturally the little wizard Chris living in the hold.

Because he didn't know the other party's true abilities and was afraid of causing misunderstandings.

Moon did not go to meet her directly, but instead had the crew of the Thorns closely observe her.

Brad in the room did not know what the ship's first mate was talking about, he was just surprised by the respectful attitude of the other party towards Moon.

Zalan was very clear about it, so after Cullen finished speaking, he immediately sat up.

"What did she do?"

Moon also became interested, he didn't expect that this little magician would not hide herself well and had already made a move on the ship.

"She said she is a doctor, and wants to make a healing potion, and wants to buy some batfish gills and flame snail shells from us."

Hearing the little magician claim to be a doctor, the corners of Moon's mouth could not help but smile.

Although he had long known that many magicians rely on treating ordinary people to make a living, he did not expect that this little magician would actually make magic potions.

Especially after hearing that the other party did not ask for herbs, but needed such alternative materials, Moon was even more certain that the other party must be refining a magic potion.

"Do you think she might be a fake doctor? I have lived at sea for so many years, but I have never heard of disgusting fish being able to cure diseases?"

Cullen was originally very puzzled, he didn't know why the magician in front of him would pay so much attention to a little girl.

Until the other party proposed to use these things to make potions, he felt that Moon must have discovered that the little girl was a liar and wanted to punish her.

Moon did not explain to Cullen.

After receiving magical potion education from Hogwarts, Moon was very clear that using animal organs to refine magic potions was very common.

Moon even knew that there were various magic potions made from even more disgusting things such as slugs and rat bile.

"Can you guys get these two things?"

Now that he knew that these two things were likely to be the raw materials for some kind of magic potion, Moon couldn't help but become curious.
