#135 - Mysterious Alchemy
“You want to follow me to learn magic?”
After Mune returned to the Scarlet Moon, the little witch Chris immediately followed.
“Yes, please take me in.”
The little witch Chris knelt on one knee when facing Mune.
Mune knew that this was the highest etiquette for a master to impart knowledge in this world.
But Mune didn't think he could teach others magic now, so he immediately stopped her when the little witch knelt down.
“Don't do this, I don't actually know much.”
Mune was telling the truth. Most of the knowledge he now possesses is basic magic for first-year Hogwarts students.
In his opinion, these things are far from enough to be someone else's teacher.
“No! You are the youngest and most talented magician I have ever seen.”
Chris said excitedly.
“Huh? How many magicians have you seen?”
“Well, just one besides you.”
Mune originally wanted to learn more about magicians through Chris, so he asked out of curiosity.
But he didn't expect this little witch to not have a very broad view.
“But even if it's just one, you are definitely unparalleled....
Under the little witch Chris's narration, Mune learned the witch's true identity.
Chris Calvin.
Thirteen years old this year, a villager from Marchico Village at the foot of Snow Eagle Mountain,
When she was eight years old, a magician named Byron Chelsea discovered her magical talent, so she began her journey of learning magic.
In the first two years of learning magic, Byron Chelsea taught Chris to control magic power and identify magic potion ingredients.
And told Chris that if she wanted to learn more magic, she must provide valuable things to exchange for magic potion ingredients or gold coins.
It was also under such regulations that the Calvin family exhausted their family property to help Chris raise magic potion ingredients.
And Chris was also very diligent. She learned a hemostatic potion in a very short period of time, although the success rate was not very high.
However, this unfair transaction soon could no longer continue.
Not only could the Calvin family no longer come up with valuable things, but Chris's identity also began to be discovered by the villagers.
Especially after learning that the war was coming, Byron Chelsea disappeared directly one night.
“He's a liar! A liar who drugged Old Man Calvin.”
Whitney, who had been following Chris, couldn't help but curse again after hearing this.
Chris didn't stop Whitney from continuing this time.
After being on the ship for so many days, she also vaguely figured out that she might have really been deceived.
“Your Excellency Scarlett, if you are unwilling to take me as a student, fair exchange is also fine. I can tell you the magic potion formula.”
Fair exchange.
This is exactly the transaction rule between magicians that Byron Chelsea warned Chris about.
“Wait, I don't need this formula.”
Seeing the little witch Chris eagerly rummaging in her satchel, Mune quickly stopped her.
Mune already knew the formula for the hemostatic magic potion, and the efficacy of the successfully refined potion was much better than Chris's.
Seeing Mune's refusal, Chris was obviously a little panicked.
She didn't know what else she could take out for exchange.
But she really didn't want to miss Mune, this genuine magician.
“I can be your servant as long as you teach me magic.”
“I really don't need it.”
“I can wash clothes!”
Mune didn't refuse with words this time. He took out his magic wand and cast 【Stain Vanishing】 on his already somewhat dirty clothes.
Chris's eyes lit up when she saw this, and then she quickly said.
“I can iron clothes!”
A 【Fresh as New】
“I can serve tea and water.”
A 【Clear as a Spring】
“I can move things.”
A 【Box Moving】
After Mune cast all the spells, the little witch Chris was almost crying.
She originally only wanted to learn the magic that could repair things from Mune, and even decided to exchange it for a magic potion formula.
But now, Mune not only doesn't like what she has, but also showed so many magical spells.
This gave Chris the feeling of facing a gold mountain, but not being able to take away a grain of gold.
“Why didn't you say you can cook?”
After seeing the little witch's persistent perseverance, Mune didn't mind teaching her a little magic.
All the spells just now were just a test, and Mune was also afraid that the other party would say that she could cook.
After all, Mune hasn't mastered this magic.
“Well~, because I can't cook.”
Hearing Chris's honest answer, Mune stood aside and laughed.
“This...:.. Your Excellency, I can actually cook.”
Whitney, who was standing aside, immediately spoke out after seeing her young mistress's predicament.
“Grandma, you...:”,
After hearing Whitney say this, Chris turned her head with some emotion.
“Don't say it, miss, I know you have always wanted to learn magic, but that person before was just a liar.”
Whitney said, then hurriedly stepped forward and wiped away the tears on Chris's face.
“The Lord in front of you is a true magician, miss, you can't miss it.”
Mune didn't know how he finally agreed to this pair of servants.
He didn't let them wash clothes or cook, nor did he let them serve tea and water, but just asked Aunt Daisy to arrange for them to stay on the Scarlet Moon temporarily.
When the Scarlet Moon was repaired and ready to set off.
Gord sent many crew members from other ships to help, including Lance and his group.
Thorn's first mate Karen came here to help the veterans master the sailing techniques, but Zalan seemed very familiar with everything on the ship.
In his own words, "I was originally a sailor, and then I joined the army."
Mune was no longer surprised that Zalan knew so many things.
In his opinion, as long as you don't understand something, finding Zalan can probably solve it.
Of course, this is only limited to ordinary people's affairs. As for magic, Mune can only rely on himself.
After the Pai Yue began to sail, the veterans gave Mune the best room again.
Unable to refuse, Mune could only study the newly obtained "Alchemy Notes" in this room, which was much wider than on the Thorn.
There are many obscure magic-specific nouns in this notebook, and it will take Mune some time to fully understand it.
However, there are also many alchemy experiences left by the author in the notes.
Among them, the "Faithless Organization", "Magic Cage", "Must be rescued", and "Key" are mentioned many times. Mune also speculated from these words that the key carried by the pirate leader should be used to open some kind of "Magic Cage" and then rescue someone.
But what exactly is this magic cage?
And who should be rescued?
It is not clearly mentioned in the book.
“Alchemy, I remember this is a course that only sixth-year Hogwarts students can take.”
Playing with the brass-colored key in his hand, Mune became a little worried.
Alchemy.
It is not a field that Mune's current magical abilities can touch.
