Chapter One Hundred and One: The Girl Who Disappeared
In all fairness, if it weren't for the rainy weather, walking in such a light mist would still have a different taste. Qing Chi lingered in Rain and Fog for a while, visiting Jerter's residence, and getting a crossbow and some silver arrows from him. This crossbow is faster and more powerful than Qingchi's bow and arrows, making it useful against extremely fast vampires. Jert also gave Qingchi some holy water and garlic, which were necessary to deal with vampires. Qing Chi put these in his backpack and watched as Jert was busy with something on the table. Jert put some herbs into the mortar, took out some shiny things from the table, put them in, and then mashed and grinded them, which was the special medicine he made for Qing Chi.
Qing Chi was attracted by his movements. The original large pieces of medicinal herbs were mixed with the shiny transparent substance, and they could actually grind the medicinal powder so delicately. Qing Chi suddenly thought that he already had a high-quality fire dance grass, but he took a few plants for experiments, but he still couldn't make a high-grade fire resistance agent, was it because the grinding was not delicate enough? Feeling sorry for those high-grade fire resistance herbs, Qing Chi didn't continue the experiment, but looking at Jerte's movements at this time, Qing Chi became extremely interested, pinched a piece of transparent shiny thing, and asked, "This is?" ”
"Oh, that's Stone Flower. When grinding, put in some stone flowers to grind together, which will make the powder more delicate and the quality of the medicine will be higher. You can give it a try. This kind of stone flower can only be found in the vicinity of Rain and Fog Town, because it is very humid here, and there is a lot of rain, and some stone flowers will be produced in the caves here. Jert replied.
I see! Qing Chi was a little excited and pinched a few stone flowers and put them into a grinding bowl, and took out a few high-grade fire dance grasses from his personal backpack. Fortunately, Jert is a pharmaceutical expert, under his guidance, Qing Chi poured the finely ground medicinal powder into the red liquid, added some minor ingredients, boiled in a pot for a while, maintaining the mildest fire, with a few "gurgling" bubbling, a pot of fiery red potion appeared in front of Qing Chi's eyes. The system "ding" prompted: "Congratulations on successfully creating a high-grade fire resistance potion." ”
Qing Chi curled the corners of his lips, said thank you to Jert, and then happily put the pot of potions into some potion bottles. As long as you have 3 high-grade fire dance grasses, you can make 20 bottles of potions in this pot. What I did before was simply a tyrannical thing! Qing Chi looked at these potions and was so moved that he wanted to cry.
After storing all these high-grade fire resistance potions in the warehouse, a plan gradually appeared in Qing Chi's mind. The Dragon Flame Crystal found in the depths of that volcano must be the first miner himself. As long as they didn't have their own high-grade fire resistance potion, it was impossible for anyone else to enter that place. This is the most important weapon to deal with the cold, and before that, these high-grade fire resistance agents must not easily enter the market. Qing Chi made a lot of instant recovery potions, and at the same time took away Jerter's special medicine, so he said goodbye to him.
There aren't many players in this town, and the taverns seem to be deserted. Qing Chi passed by the tavern, intending to go in and buy some food for supplies. At this moment, some strange phenomena were suddenly discovered. Along the way, it seems that I haven't seen a few young female NPCs, but there are a few old women, and there are quite a few young men. Is there only men in this town? Gender dysfunction is really serious. Qing Chi was taken aback by his own grotesque thoughts.
"You lazy god-babbler, Nia, I'm going to kick you out of the tavern!"
"Oh no, please listen to me, I really didn't dream, I really saw a witch!" Nia held her head to avoid the fat boss, who was too big to catch up with Nia, and his face was full of anger and panting. Qing Chi was a little amused, and slapped a few gold coins on the counter, "I want to buy some supplies." ”
The Fat Tavern owner finally stopped, a smile on his face. Qing Chi finished buying supplies and found Nia who was hanging her head on the side, "You just said that you saw a young witch?" ”
Nia glanced at Qing Chi in surprise and lowered her head, "That's just my dream." Working here all day, sooner or later I'll die of exhaustion here. Ah, dreams, it's an illusion. ”
"I believe in your dreams, tell them and listen to them, why can't you see young women in your town?"
Nia quietly lowered her voice, "The women of this town are cursed!" Every year, a woman does not live to be fifteen. When they are fifteen years old, they suddenly disappear or suddenly fall ill and die. Oops, it's horrible. A young man like me is going to have to leave this town one day. When I have saved up enough money, I will go to live in Momiji Town, which I heard is a good place to go. ”
"So, what about the witch you are talking about?" Qing Chi frowned, her instinct telling her that this matter was not that simple. Nia scratched her head, "I slept in a daze last night, and when I woke up suddenly, I saw a white-haired witch in a black robe through the tavern window! She walked through the town with an eerie human-faced cane. Oh, by the way, she seems to have gone to the north side of town. Qing Chi thanked Nia and prepared to go to the north of the town to have a look. Her instincts told her that the witch might be associated with the girls who had disappeared. A quest appears in Qing Chi's quest bar: "Investigate the girl who disappeared in Rain and Mist Town." "Inside the wooden houses north of the town are the homes of blacksmiths, hunters, and apothecaries. Qing Chi went to inquire, and only then did he learn that Mia, the blacksmith's daughter, was sick last night. She was just fifteen years old. Can't be wrong, it must have something to do with the witch, I'm afraid she'll come back tonight. Qing Chi investigated Mia's room, and there was nothing worth noting in the room except for Mia, who was lying on the bed with a pale face. Qing Chi swept through the room, and was suddenly attracted by a flower pot on the windowsill. Obviously the soil is fertile and moist, and the sun is abundant, how can this potted flower be sick?
Qing Chi asked Mia's mother. She was a very kind middle-aged woman with a wrinkled face, and she was very sad at the mention of Mia, "Oh, my daughter, she must be cursed." This terrible curse of Rain and Mist! Yesterday was fine, how could he suddenly be so sick! ”
"Was that the pot of flowers like that yesterday?" Qing Chi turned his head and asked. Mia's mother held back her tears, "Oh no, that pot of jasmine is Mia's favorite, and she waters it a lot. ”
Qing Chi suddenly seemed to understand something. Picking up the flower pot and smashing it, the flower pot shattered in response, revealing a red cloth from the soil of the flower pot, Qing Chi opened the cloth, and it was actually full of hair and nails. Sure enough, it was the witch! Presumably this is her witchcraft. Qing Chi gave these things to Mia's mother and asked her to put them away first. I have no experience dealing with witches, and if I touch any taboos, I might kill this girl. Qing Chi decided to stay for the night, and tonight, the witch would definitely come back.
