Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 349 The Beach

Heath took the hermit crab from Amy’s hand, looked it over, and then nodded. “Yes, the Red-Headed Hermit Crab. Where did you find it?”

Amy jumped up happily. “It can be used? That’s great.”

After that, she pointed at a reef on the beach in the distance. “I found it under that reef. It wanted to run, but I used the Wizard’s Hand to stop it. Hehe.”

Then Amy made a gesture in front of Heath as if she was showing off. The red-headed hermit crab was one of the creatures that moved very quickly on the beach. If it hadn’t been carefully arranged in advance… Even the most outstanding fisherman might not have been able to catch it. Amy was able to control it with the Wizard’s Hand. This was enough to show that Amy’s control of Wizard’s Hand had reached a very delicate level.

Heath nodded. “Not bad. It seems that your use of Wizard’s Hand has improved.”

Amy smiled. “Hehe, Teacher taught me well.”

Amy was a very talented Apprentice. It was not that her talent was outstanding, but that she knew how to work hard.

She knew how to work hard. At the slightest chance, she would work very hard and put in effort. Since becoming Heath’s Apprentice, she had tried her best to memorize and learn all the knowledge that Heath had taught her. She treated all the resources that Heath had given her as a treasure and devoted all her efforts to training according to the method Heath had given her.

Amy had made rapid progress during this period of hard work. She was only an intermediate-level Apprentice, but she was close to an advanced Apprentice. If she kept up this progress… It wouldn’t be a problem for her to become an advanced Apprentice in half a year.

Heath looked around and said, “Let’s see if there are any ordinary sea creatures when we collect the materials. We can cook fish by the beach tonight.”

Amy said, “Okay, Teacher.”

Then the little girl ran away with the basket, leaving a series of little footprints on the beach.

They were close to the pier, and there were many pedestrians on the beach. Amy’s unique dress had always attracted people’s attention. When she ran, the hem of her dress fluttered in the wind, and her already outstanding appearance… It even attracted the attention of the passersby around them.

From time to time, they could even hear a series of discussions.

“Who’s that girl? She’s so beautiful!”

“That’s the scholar’s maid from the lighthouse. Scholar Heath brought her back when he came back from his trip.”

“So she’s the scholar’s maid. No wonder she’s so beautiful…”

With the help of the system, Heath had found all the materials needed for the experiment on the beach in more than two hours. In addition, he also found many fresh sea creatures such as seashells, clams, and silverfish.

Then, Heath dug a hole on the beach, found some wood, and set up a fire on it. He and Amy had a picnic nearby.

Under the moonlight, by the beach.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

The dancing flames sizzled, and the flickering flames sent out dancing sparks, drifting in the air.

On the bonfire, the small fish that had been strung up flowed golden oil under the fire, dripping into the fire and making a sizzling sound.

A salty, wet, and slightly fishy fragrance filled the air, making people want to eat it.

Amy couldn’t help but swallow her saliva in front of the delicious food.

Heath glanced at her and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter? Are you hungry?”

Amy blushed a little and nodded shyly. “I don’t think I’m full after dinner.”

Amy was in a hurry to find some ingredients for Heath during dinner, so she only had two bites of mashed potatoes before running out in a hurry. After that, she kept looking for ingredients on the beach for a long time. It was inevitable that she would be a little hungry.

Heath took the skewers and looked at them, then shook his head. “Wait a little longer. It’s not the best taste yet.”

Then he put the skewers back on the fire.

Amy was not disappointed. She nodded obediently. “Yes, Teacher.”

After a while, the skewers turned a bright yellow. Heath peeled the skin of the fish and looked inside. The blood-red color had disappeared. The fish meat had completely turned white and tender.

Seeing this, Heath could not help but nod and took out a small packet of spices and sprinkled it on the skewers.

Heath was very particular about food. Over the years, he would collect some delicious spices, recipes, and so on. In addition, when he was free, he would also make some spices. Some of them were even made of very precious magic materials.

For example, the small bag of seasonings that he sprinkled on the fish meat at the moment was filled with Flavoring Powder, Appetite Flower, and Aromatic Herbs. These were very high-level magic materials. They could greatly stimulate one’s appetite and improve the taste of the food. If it were on the market, this small bag of seasonings could be sold for at least ten thousand Magic Stones.

After the spices were sprinkled, Amy immediately smelled the unique fragrance. Her appetite was so great that she almost drooled. She couldn’t help but ask, “What’s this, Teacher? It smells so good!”

Heath said, “I made some spices myself. Let’s have a taste.”

With that, he handed a skewer of cooked silver fish to Amy.

Amy, who was already drooling with hunger, took the skewer and put it into her mouth without thinking.

“Be careful, it’s hot.”

“Ah!”

Heath’s belated warning sounded almost at the same time as Amy’s cry. The scalding fish oil immediately burned a small blister on Amy’s mouth, and the skewer in Amy’s hand almost fell out of her hand.

‘How could she be so careless?’

Heath shook his head and chanted a spell at the same time. A small water column bloomed on his fingertips, and he pointed at Amy’s mouth, the water flew toward Amy’s mouth with a whoosh and exploded on Amy’s mouth.

Amy’s mouth, which had been red and swollen from the heat, quickly recovered. The water droplet quickly dried up and returned to its original state.

This was the advantage of magic. Although the injury was not serious, without magic, it would take at least three to five days to recover. Even without magic, the wound would become infected and lead to serious complications such as ulcers. However, under the effects of magic, the wound could recover in a flash.

“How are you? Are you feeling better?”

Amy nodded heavily. “Yes, thank you, Teacher.”

Heath took the skewers and exhaled slightly on the skewers. As If a cold current had passed by, the temperature of the skewers dropped visibly.

Then, he handed the skewers back to Amy. “Okay, eat.”

Amy took the skewers. She had just eaten a few mouthfuls when an unexpected situation disrupted their midnight snack.
