The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Chapter 72: Collection of Witch Medicines

In the boundless ocean, a huge ship is sailing alone, and its journey will last a whole year on the sea.

To kill time, Matthews and his three companions gathered together and began to share their anecdotes and experiences. They talked about past adventures and future dreams, filling the cabin with laughter.

However, deep in Matthews' heart, he was full of contradictions and confusion. He had originally planned to use this long voyage to continue researching and perfecting the method of strengthening the Qi channels that he had conceived before.

However, after witnessing the powerful power displayed by the wizard with his own eyes, his creative enthusiasm was instantly extinguished.

In Matthews's opinion, the power gap between knights and wizards is obvious. Knights rely on their own strength and fighting spirit to fight, and their strength comes from personal practice and perseverance.

The wizards gave him a completely different feeling, as if they could control the battle itself and influence the development of the battle through mysterious magic. This power was unfathomable and powerful, which made Matthews deeply trapped.

Charles' voice was like a spring breeze, gently breaking the silence of Matthews's meditation. He told Matthews that there was a small island not far ahead, and the ship planned to stop there for a while to make necessary supplies.

This news made Matthews feel happy. The long sea voyage had exhausted him physically and mentally, and being able to step on land at this moment, even if it was just a short stay, was enough to make him happy.

They walked onto the deck together, and the outline of the island was clearly visible. It stood quietly in the distance, like a green gem inlaid on the blue sea.

At this time, the crew began to get busy, adjusting the angle and height of the sail to ensure that the large ship could approach the island smoothly. At the same time, they also moved out the water storage barrels to prepare for timely replenishment after landing.

Matthews watched the crew members operating the ship skillfully and busy, and he couldn't help but feel respect in his heart. No matter why they took this path, it was because of their hard work and dedication that the ship could sail safely in the vast ocean.

Finally, the ship slowly approached the island and anchored steadily on the shore. The crew members couldn't wait to jump onto the island and began to replenish fresh water.

Matthews couldn't hold back his excitement, so he hurriedly got off the boat and stepped onto the long-lost land. He felt the solid texture under his feet. He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale all the breath of the island into his lungs.

Looking around, there are green trees, birds singing and flowers blooming. The clear lake is like a mirror inlaid on the island, adding a bit of vitality and vigor to this land.

Matthews was tempted to try his hand at cooking, and thinking of the monotonous food on the ship, he decided to change the taste. So he used a slingshot to shoot a few big fat birds and prepared to grill them.

Charles took the initiative to help find dry wood and fire. Benjamin and Joanna also came after hearing the news. They sat together, looking forward to the long-awaited wild game feast.

With the help of everyone, a blazing bonfire was soon lit. Matthews cleaned the big bird and roasted it over the fire.

Seeing Matthews's skillful movements, Benjamin's eyes widened, his face full of incredible surprise: "Matthews, I didn't expect you to be able to do this!"

Charles smiled proudly and interrupted, "Don't underestimate Matthews. His barbecue skills are superb. I had the honor of trying it last time. The taste was so delicious that I still can't forget it."

After hearing this, Joanna showed a hint of doubt on her face: "Really? Charles, are you exaggerating?"

Charles immediately assured: "Of course it is true, you will know when you try it later. I promise you that it will definitely be the most delicious barbecue you have ever eaten in your life."

Although Joanna still had a bit of doubt on her face, Benjamin couldn't wait any longer. He smiled and urged, "Okay, okay, stop arguing. Bake it quickly. I can already smell the fragrance."

Matthews nodded and continued to turn the barbecue in his hand. When he sprinkled the secret spices, the aroma of the barbecue instantly spread, making people salivate, as if the air of the whole island was filled with this tempting meat aroma.

Benjamin and Joanna could no longer hold back. Something seemed to be rolling in their throats, and their eyes were shining with desire for the delicious food that was about to come.

They couldn't wait to taste the meat before it was fully cooked. Every bite was filled with the rich aroma of meat and the unique flavor of spices, which intoxicated them. They couldn't help but give heartfelt praise, claiming that this was the most wonderful barbecue they had ever eaten in their lives.

Matthews noticed a gray-robed man standing by the lake in the distance. He immediately recognized the wizard, or more accurately, the wizard apprentice, whom he had met many times before. He thought for a moment, then picked up a large bird roasted to golden brown and walked towards the lake.

Standing beside the gray-robed wizard, Matthews handed over the roast meat respectfully: "My lord, please enjoy it. The bird meat here tastes excellent."

The gray-robed wizard took the roasted bird and smiled: "I didn't expect you to actually pass the wizard qualification test!"

Matthews responded modestly: "It was just a fluke."

The gray-robed wizard tasted a bite of the roast meat and praised, "It's really good."

Then, he took out a thick book from his grey robe and handed it to Matthews: "This is the 'Collection of Witch Medicine', which records many basic medicinal materials in the wizarding world."

He believed that Matthews must have extraordinary attainments in pharmacology. After all, when they first met, Matthews was collecting herbs in the mountains.

Matthews was secretly delighted in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface: "My lord, this is just a trivial amount of food, I dare not ask for anything extravagant!"

The gray-robed wizard said solemnly: "Take it. Although this book is much more valuable than food, I must tell you that in the wizarding world, we adhere to the principle of equal exchange. We will not accept things from others for no reason, nor will we give them for free."

After hearing this, Matthews was filled with curiosity and yearning for the wizarding world: "Yes, sir. I will definitely return it to you before I get off the ship."

The gray-robed wizard nodded with satisfaction. He knew that Matthews was a smart young man with great potential. This book would be a valuable asset to him. He hoped that Matthews could make full use of the knowledge in this book to further expand his wizard path.

Matthews took the "Collection of Witch Medicines" and gently flipped through the pages, discovering that it contained dense records of the names, properties, efficacy, and illustrations of various medicinal materials. He couldn't help but marvel in his heart: This book is indeed extraordinary.

The gray-robed wizard looked at the expression on Matthews' face and said with a smile: "Study this book carefully. It will be of great help to your wizarding journey. Remember, knowledge is power."

Matthews nodded seriously: "Thank you for your guidance and teaching, may I ask your name?"

The black-robed wizard was slightly stunned, then replied: "Somali Okus!" Then he waved his hand, indicating that Matthews could leave.

Matthews returned to his companions holding the "Collection of Magical Medicines". They immediately surrounded him, curiously asking about the conversation between Matthews and the gray-robed wizard.
