Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 103 Chris's Preparation
Karen, the first mate of the Thorn, had no idea what Moon was thinking.

However, seeing that the honorable magician also had this need, he answered the question seriously.

"Both of these are not difficult to obtain. The batfish are in the cabin kitchen, and the flame snail shells can be caught by casting nets when we pass through the Fire Ash Sea area tonight."

"Well, please meet the doctor's request and prepare ten more copies of the same materials for me."

"Uh~, okay."

Although Karen had long known that magicians thought differently from ordinary people, it was still difficult for him to understand.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Scarlett, that fake, uh, doctor, wants to rent a room for half a day and is willing to pay five gold coins."

The peculiar materials and the quiet and closed environment made Moon more and more certain of his guess.

"Okay, rent her my room and tell her I don't want any money, but I have to stay in the room the whole time."

"Very well, sir. There are no other rooms on board anyway."

After Karen left, she went to discuss the terms with Chris and then went to prepare the materials.

At this time, Moon became more and more interested in the next potion observation.

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

Zalan was also a little curious at this time. Although he had been a guardian of spellcasters before, he had never seen anyone making potions.

"I was only 50% sure originally, but after hearing about the materials they were going to use, I was absolutely certain that they were going to make a potion."

"Material?"

Zalan also recalled what First Mate Karen had just said.

"I know batfish is a flat, black marine fish. Many people say eating it can prevent dry eyes."

"I know about flame snail shells. Some herders in Xilin use them to make horns to drive cattle and sheep. They are very strong and durable, so they can be preserved for a long time."

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

So he quickly told everyone what he knew about the flaming shell.

"That's right. Most of these snails live near submarine volcanoes. Because they've been baked by magma and tempered by seawater for a long time, their shells are extremely hard."

Zalan also told what he knew.

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

When Karen told her that someone needed to observe, she just thought it was the ship's doctor who wanted to eavesdrop and learn.

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

Ordinary people do not have the ability to make potions, and Chris is well aware of this.

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

Although this is just a little clever trick, it can prevent the prying eyes of most magicians.

With this preparation, Chris readily agreed to Moon's conditions.

Especially now that she was very short of money, five gold coins in exchange for an ordinary person to watch was a very good deal in her opinion.

The day after Chris agreed to the deal, Karen sent Moon ten portions of batfish bladders and fire snail shells.

Because Chris still needed to prepare these two materials, she set the time for making the potion for tomorrow morning.

Moon also took advantage of this time to study the materials he had obtained.

After learning that Chris was going to save the unconscious young man, Moon guessed that this potion might be related to healing cuts.

When the young man boarded the ship yesterday, he found that his body was covered with various sword and knife wounds.

As for the potion formula for treating cuts, Moon also has a Hogwarts version.

This was something Moon had learned in Potions class over a month ago.

The recipe includes: hemostatic grass, healing fern, soothing flower, fire dragon scale powder, a drop of elf tear and pure spring water.

Moon had already found a substitute for the hemostatic herb when he was identifying herbs in Xilin.

This is another name for hemostatic grass used by herbal medicine merchants in Xilin.

After using the [Fire Spell] to dry and grind the batfish's swim bladder, Moon discovered that this material had properties very similar to those of the tranquilizing flower.

After putting the fish maw powder into his mouth, Moon found that in addition to a slight fishy smell, it also had a slightly calming effect.

After reaching this conclusion, Moon took out his potion record book and wrote the words "batfish swim bladder" behind the tranquilizing grass.

As for the other material, the flame conch shell, Moon associated it with the fire dragon scale powder when he first saw it.

Zalan explained yesterday that this kind of snail mostly lives near submarine craters.

After being tempered by both volcanoes and seawater, their shells become extremely hard.

Brad tried to use the captured Night Owl scimitar, but he couldn't cut it open easily.

Moon guessed that the little witch must have crushed the snail shell to make the potion.

Although he didn't know how the other party could crush such a hard object, he had a more convenient method.

Softening Spell

This is one of the few basic spells that Moon has mastered.

After Brad tested the hardness of the shell with a machete, Moon took out his old willow wand and cast the spell on the shell.

The flame shell is just as Moon imagined, it also has a certain degree of magic resistance.

After Moon cast three consecutive [Softening Spells], the shell was finally crushed into powder.

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

After Moon wrote "A large amount of fire snail shells are needed" behind the fire dragon scales in the potion record book, he became even more curious about how the little witch would deal with such a hard thing.

But he obviously didn't get the answer today.

Because he was leaving Xilin tonight and heading to Hogwarts.

Zalan also knew that Moon would be away for three minutes tonight, so after nightfall, he stayed in the room with full vigilance.

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

"Flame No. 2 is very stable and has already held out for two and a half days. By tomorrow morning, we'll have reached the three-day deadline you mentioned."

Hermione said as she took the last three remaining jars to the table one by one.

Moon checked them one by one.

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

Although flame number three was still burning, it was showing signs of weakness, and the flame had shrunk by half.

"The fifth flame had a brief high temperature phenomenon, and the top of the can was burned black by it."

"So are you okay?"

"It's okay. The magic cannon blocked it. I just felt a little heat, and then I got burned when I tried to pick it up with my hand. But I applied burn medicine yesterday."

Hermione said as she held out her left hand which had been tucked into her pocket.

It was also wrapped with a three-finger-wide white bandage.

"Hermione, are you okay?"

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

Ron, Harry, Seamus, and Neville also arrived in the common room.

After seeing Hermione injured, several little wizards ran over with different expressions.
