I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 134 - 125: Hound

"Let me see the magic potion recipe."

Rogel spoke.

Upon hearing Rogel’s words, Hudson frowned slightly: "Sir, I just need you to introduce me to that alchemist."

In his view, Rogel was too young, likely just an assistant or apprentice to the alchemist at most.

The implication was that Rogel asking him for the magic potion recipe was a bit overstepping.

In response, Rogel spoke calmly, "I should be the alchemist you’re talking about."

With that, he stretched out his hand, and a glass bottle containing a magic potion appeared in his palm, swirling with lights inside.

Hudson’s pupils contracted at the sight.

Rogel had directly demonstrated that he was both an Extraordinary and in possession of a magic potion.

This move was undoubtedly to prove his credibility to Hudson.

After taking a good look at Rogel, Hudson nodded, "Pardon my rudeness."

He took a curled-up piece of parchment from his pocket and handed it to Rogel.

Rogel took it and unfolded the parchment.

[Exorcist (Magic Potion Recipe)]

[Type: Special Artifact]

[Reading Requirement: Spirit 4, Mysticism lv4.]

[Production Requirement: Spirit 7, Mysticism lv4, Magic Potion lv2]

[Explanation: It records the method of making the Extraordinary Magic Potion for an Exorcist.]

[Mysticism lv5 provides you with some additional information.]

[Exorcists have been around for a long time, appearing before the Kingdom of Thousand Islands was established, active in the Royal City Sea Area and the Sea of Sin, possessing unique ways of dealing with undead resentful souls and monsters.]

After reading the magic potion recipe, Rogel did not immediately look into the further details of the potion preparation; instead, he put it down and looked at Hudson in front of him.

"I can brew this magic potion."

"Since you’ve already prepared the corresponding magic potion materials, let’s discuss my needs now."

"I need a Corpse Blood Demon Heart and a pair of Shadow Bat Fangs."

Rogel stated directly.

When it came to compensation for brewing the magic potion, Rogel wasn’t overly concerned.

What he cared more about were the two main ingredients for brewing Blood Spirit Shadow Stab.

Corpse Blood Demons and Shadow Bats...

After hearing Rogel’s words, Hudson frowned and thought for a moment.

After a moment, he exhaled softly.

"I currently don’t have these two monster materials."

"But I will do my best to find them."

Hudson said with a serious tone.

Rogel somewhat expected Hudson’s response.

"Do you have a way to find these two monsters?"

He asked.

After hearing this, Hudson replied in a deep voice, "Rest assured, I will find these materials for you as soon as possible; it won’t be difficult."

"Just tell me your way of finding monsters," Rogel said calmly, raising his hand to indicate he wanted Hudson to listen to him, "Exorcists are better at dealing with monsters than resentful souls."

"If you die because of this, I’d need to find a new way, which would be very troublesome."

Although Hudson appeared to have strength far exceeding ordinary people, he ultimately wasn’t an Extraordinary.

If he died while searching for these materials, it would be more troublesome for Rogel to search for them.

"You just need to lead me to find these two monsters."

"I’ll help you brew the potion."

Rogel stated with an undeniable tone.

In fact, for Rogel, the only useful aspect of this deal with Hudson was finding these two monsters.

As for other rewards, they were negligible.

Upon hearing this, Hudson pondered for a moment, but he quickly agreed and nodded.

"If that’s the case, then follow me."

With that, Hudson promptly gathered his things and left after settling the bill at the front desk.

"Should I go with you?" Lina asked.

"Up to you," Rogel smiled.

He certainly understood Lina’s meaning; she was afraid of holding him back as an ordinary person.

"Then I’ll wait for you on the ship."

After hearing Rogel’s response, Lina decided.

She was decisive and didn’t want her presence to affect Rogel’s actions.

"Stay safe," Rogel nodded, not stopping her, as he understood Lina’s thoughts, "Take this with you; if anything happens, you can use it to inform me, just fill it with some seawater before using it."

Rogel retrieved a Sound Transmission Conch from his Item Inventory and placed it in her hand.

"...Okay."

Looking at the conch in her hand, Lina hesitated for a moment but chose to trust Rogel.

After Lina left, Rogel followed Hudson.

...

Hudson led Rogel through Giant Claw City for quite a while.

Along the way, Rogel only asked a few questions; there wasn’t much conversation otherwise.

Hudson was quite silent, appearing not to be talkative.

The two passed from the outskirts of Giant Claw City to the other side, where there was a small dock, and an old man was standing there with a few small boats nearby.

After Hudson handed over some money, they rented a small boat.

Where Hudson wanted to take Rogel was not within Giant Claw City.

After the two spent some time in the small boat, they arrived at a slightly smaller subsidiary island near Giant Claw Island.

After handing over the small boat to another boat keeper, they disembarked onto the island.

After some twists and turns, they finally arrived at the lower level of a tavern.

This space was spacious yet hidden, lit by oil lamps, but there weren’t many people.

It seemed like a secret gathering place.

Rogel made a mental note of this observation.

Hudson approached the front desk and found a man whose face and skin were hidden beneath large attire.

"Hound, I need to find some monster materials."

"Speak."

"Corpse Blood Demon Heart and Shadow Bat Fang."

"No."

"Information about them would also work."

"Thirteen Silver Coins."

Hudson said nothing, silently took out the Silver Coins and handed them to the man.

The man got up and went into the room behind the bar. Moments later, he came out.

He handed Hudson two slips of paper.

Hudson shoved them into his pocket.

Rogel walked up to him, and whispered, "Is there any other Magic Potion recipe or related information here?"

Hudson shook his head.

"It’s unlikely, but I can help you ask around."

With that, Hudson stepped forward and sat facing the man.

"Magic Potion recipe, or related information, do you have any?"

Upon hearing this, the Hound raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of cold eyes that glanced at the two.

"No."

Upon hearing this, Rogel’s expression remained unchanged.

"As payment, my teacher can offer a chance to brew a Magic Potion."

Upon hearing this, the previously indifferent-looking Hound’s body paused.

He squinted his eyes and looked at Hudson beside him.

"Exorcist Boy, do you also believe in such tricks?"

"Alchemist... ha."

With that, he stood up, crossed his strong arms over his chest, looking down at the two.

"If this Exorcist Boy gets his wish, then I’ll believe your words a little."

"Before that..."

At this point, the tall man named Hound sneered and turned away without hesitation.

Regarding his reaction, Rogel was not angry; instead, he turned to look at Hudson.

"Tell me about the situation with the Alchemist."

After hearing Rogel’s words, Hudson sighed softly.

"Let’s talk on the road."

...

From Hudson’s mouth, Rogel obtained an important piece of information.

In the Five Major Seas, Extraordinary numbers in the Harmony Sea Area and the Giant Claw Sea Area are extremely scarce.

Even big islands like Nadewilo and Giant Claw City are similar.

The reason is simple; there is a lack of soil for Extraordinary to survive here.

When ordinary people become Extraordinary, they gain some Extraordinary Powers, no doubt about that.

But they cannot surpass ordinary people too much.

If you want to continue getting stronger, there is a route.

Firstly, enhance oneself through meditation, visualization, and prayer, but this method is extremely slow.

Secondly, through external items such as weapons, equipment, secret medicines, etc...

Thirdly, hunt Extraordinary Creatures or Monsters, extracting Extraordinary Powers from them.

After Hudson revealed this information, Rogel finally unraveled a long-standing doubt.

There must be more than just Rogel among the Extraordinary.

Then how do other Extraordinary improve their Level or get stronger?

Is it possible that everyone in this world can gain experience by killing Monsters like him?

Now, the question is answered.

Extraordinary will become stronger through meditation and hunting Extraordinary Creatures and Monsters.

"After you help me brew the Magic Potion, I can teach you the Universal Meditation Method."

Hudson said.

Rogel nodded; he’s not in a hurry for this.

"And what about the Alchemist?"

He’s like an expert who trained to a very high Level in the Newbie Village but knew nothing when he ventured out.

While Hudson is like a veteran struggling to climb up, though not at a high Level.

"Alchemists are even rarer than Extraordinary, numbering only a handful in the Five Major Seas."

Hudson’s voice was calm.

"Why?" Rogel frowned.

If what Hudson says is true, then Doyle Devis’s help to him is significant.

"Not sure," Hudson shook his head. "But I suggest you’re better off not exposing your identity as an Extraordinary and Alchemist, or it could lead to big trouble."

Rogel frowned, pondering.

He suddenly remembered the Devoted Knights of the Mother Goddess Church he had seen at Nadewilo.

"What about the Mother Goddess Church? Aren’t their Devoted Knights also Extraordinary?"

"That’s right," Hudson first affirmed Rogel’s assertion, then continued: "But they can appear openly in front of the populace."

"You can even find more than three chapels in Giant Claw City right now, each with Devoted Knights possessing Extraordinary Powers."

"... As for us Extraordinary, we can only hide underground."

It seems the situation of Extraordinary is indeed grim.

No wonder Rogel, after sailing through nearly two seas, only encountered Hudson, who doesn’t even count as an insider amongst Extraordinary.

After all, even though the Five Major Seas lack suitable soil for Extraordinary development, this place still has many people, so there should be some Extraordinary returning here to live a comfortable life, right?

But now it seems, it’s not that they don’t want to return, but even if they do, they might not be able to live comfortably...

The Royal Family of the Thousand Islands Kingdom probably has close ties with the Church.

"Where are the whereabouts of those two Monsters?"

Rogel shifted the topic.

Although Hudson knows quite a bit, he doesn’t understand the deeper aspects much.

His current priority is to quickly find the two materials.

Hudson took out the slips of paper and handed them to Rogel.

"Island forty-seven..."

"Dung Coral Island about sixty nautical miles northwest of Giant Claw Island..."

After reading, Rogel put the two slips of paper away.
