#103 - Chrissy's Preparation

Kallen, the first mate of the Thorns, wasn't quite sure what Muen was thinking.

However, seeing that the esteemed magician also had a need in this regard, he still answered the question seriously.

"Both of these things are not difficult to obtain. We have batfish in the ship's kitchen, and we can also catch a lot of flame snail shells when we pass through the Ash Sea area tonight."

"Okay, please satisfy... that doctor's needs. Also, prepare ten identical sets of materials for me."

"Okay~, alright."

This book is first published on the entire network by 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

Although he had long known that magicians' thinking was different from ordinary people, Kallen still found it a little difficult to understand.

"Oh, right, Lord Scarlett, that fake... doctor said she wanted to rent a room for half a day and is willing to pay five gold coins."

Strange materials, a quiet and enclosed environment, Muen became more and more certain of the guess in his heart.

"Okay, just rent my room to her. Tell her that I don't want money, but I must stay in the room the whole time."

"Okay, Your Excellency, anyway, there are no other rooms on the ship."

After Kallen left, he went to discuss the conditions with Chris, and then went to prepare the materials.

At this time, Muen became more and more interested in the upcoming observation of the potion.

"Are you really sure that the other party is going to make a potion?"

Zalan was also a little curious at this time. Although he had been a guardian of spellcasters, he had never seen a potion being made.

"I was only fifty percent sure at first, but after hearing about the materials the other party was going to use, I was very sure that this was definitely going to be used to make a potion."

"Materials?"

Zalan also recalled what the first mate Kallen had said just now.

"I know batfish. It's a kind of flat, black sea fish. Many people say that eating it can prevent dry eyes."

"I know the flame snail shell. Some herders in Xilin use this shell to make horns to drive away cattle and sheep because it is very strong and durable, so it can be preserved for a long time."

Brad, who was originally very curious about Muen's magic, became even more excited after hearing about the potion.

So he hurriedly told what he knew about the flame snail shell.

"That's right, these sea snails mostly live near underwater volcanoes. Because they are baked by magma for a long time and quenched by seawater, their shells are very hard."

Zalan also said what he knew.

Chris didn't know that there was another magician on the ship.

When Kallen told her that someone needed to be present to observe, she just thought that the ship's doctor wanted to peek and learn.

However, she had already thought of a way to deal with it.

Ordinary people do not have the ability to make potions, Chris is very clear about this.

However, just in case, she still pre-prepared some of the materials for making the potion in advance.

Although this is just a little trick, it can prevent most magicians from snooping.

With this preparation, Chris readily agreed to the conditions proposed by Muen.

Especially now that she is very short of money, exchanging five gold coins for an ordinary person to observe on the spot is very cost-effective in her opinion.

On the second day after Chris agreed to the transaction, Kallen sent Muen ten portions of batfish and flame snail shells.

Because Chris also had to pre-prepare these two materials, she set the time for making the potion for tomorrow morning.

And Muen also took this time to study the materials he got.

After learning that Chris was going to save the unconscious young man, Muen guessed that this potion was likely related to treating cuts.

On the day the young man boarded the ship yesterday, he found that the other person was covered in various knife and sword wounds.

Muen also had a Hogwarts version of the potion recipe for treating cuts.

This is what Muen learned in potion class more than a month ago.

The recipe includes: blood-stopping grass, healing fern, calming flower, dragon scale powder, a drop of elf tears, and pure spring water.

Muen had already found a substitute for blood-stopping grass when he was identifying herbs in Xilin.

[Ant-Insect Vegetable]

This is another name for blood-stopping grass by the herb merchants in Xilin.

After Muen used [Incendio] to dry and grind the batfish, he found that this material was very similar to the properties of calming flowers.

After putting the fish powder in his mouth, Muen found that in addition to a little fishy smell, it also had a slightly calming effect on people's hearts.

After drawing this conclusion, Muen took out his potion record book and wrote the words "batfish" after the calming grass.

As for the other material, the flame snail shell, Muen associated it with dragon scale powder the first time he saw it.

Zalan explained yesterday that these sea snails mostly live near underwater volcanoes. After being quenched by both volcanoes and seawater, their shells are very hard.

Brad tried to use the seized [Night Owl] scimitar, but he couldn't easily split it open.

Muen guessed that the little witch must pulverize the snail shell to make the potion.

Although he didn't know how the other party would be able to pulverize this hard thing, he himself had more convenient means.

[Softening Charm]

This is one of the few basic charms that Muen has mastered.

After Brad tried the hardness of the snail shell with a scimitar, Muen took out the old willow wand and cast the spell on the snail shell.

The flame snail shell was as Muen imagined, it also had a certain magical resistance.

Under Muen's continuous application of three [Softening Charms], the snail shell was finally crushed into powder.

"I'm really curious about what this little witch will do?"

After Muen wrote "a large amount of flame snail shells needed" after the dragon scale in the potion record book, he became even more curious about how the little witch would handle this hard thing.

But he obviously won't get this answer today.

Because he is leaving Xilin tonight to go to Hogwarts.

Zalan already knew that Muen would leave for three minutes tonight, so after night fell, he kept twelve points of energy and guarded in the room.

On the first morning back to Hogwarts, Hermione brought good news.

"No. 2 Flame is very stable, and it has lasted for two and a half days. It will reach the three-day deadline you said tomorrow morning."

Hermione said, taking the last three remaining jars to the table one by one.

Muen checked them one by one.

No. 2 Flame was indeed very stable. It burned the longest. Not only was there no sign of it going out, but the size of the flame also did not change.

Although No. 3 Flame was still burning, it already showed signs of weakness, and the flame had shrunk by half.

"No. 5 Flame had a brief period of high temperature, and the jar was blackened by it."

"Then are you okay?"

"It's okay. With the magic cannon blocking it, I only felt a little heat, and then I got burned when I reached out to get it, but I already applied burn medicine yesterday."

Hermione said, stretching out her left hand, which had been in her pocket.

It was still wrapped in a three-finger-wide white bandage.

"Hermione, are you okay?"

Just as Hermione was about to remove the bandage according to Madam Pomfrey's instructions.

Ron, Harry, Seamus, and Neville also came to the common room.

Several young wizards ran over with different expressions after seeing Hermione injured.
