Chapter 398: Truth, Wine
In The Valley of the Wind, Kushana is one of the few people that Arbor likes besides Nausicaa.
Compared to Nausicaa's "Madonna", Kushana is more realistic.
If Nausicaa is compared to a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world, Kushana is the queen who stands on the top of the white bones.
She was ruthless to her enemies, slaughtering Peget in order to get the Titans, and committing countless other killings.
On the opposite side, she is undoubtedly an executioner with many crimes.
But when she thinks of her past experiences: cruel court struggles, ruthless fathers and brothers, and a mother who is crazy and stupid for drinking poisoned wine to protect herself......
In such an environment, if she doesn't become like this, then she will be the one who dies, and she will not be able to protect the people around her.
She's made some irreparable mistakes, but few people can do what she doesβthey're either crazier or they're eaten to the bone.
What's more, in the later part of the comics, she was infected by Nausicaa and gave up her initial perseverance in favor of the kind and pure girl, even when the throne reached her feet, she did not sit down, but reserved some hope for the world as a regent.
Therefore, Qiao Mu didn't mind revealing a part of the truth to her, after all, she was not a bad person in nature.
β¦β¦
Qiao Mu's words made Kushana's face change greatly.
Her mother has always touched the weakness of her heart the most, and her mother's illness has always made her feel guilty, but Qiao Mu suddenly said that she can restore her mother to normal......
"What you said is true?" Kushana's lips twitched slightly, and she asked.
"Nature." Arbor Road.
"So......" Kushana began, not knowing what to say.
"The 'power of the phoenix' can reverse time, rejuvenate people and even bring them back to life, and it is a bit of a waste to cure a crazy and stupid person." Qiao Mu said.
"The power of the phoenix?" Kushana muttered to herself.
Nausicaa couldn't help but say, "It's worth 5 million Space-Time Coins, and the Giant God Soldier is only worth 100,000 Space-Time Coins. β
Kushana Huo Ran looked up: "If it's true, then no matter how expensive it is, I will get it!" β
"Actually, you don't have to be so troublesome," Qiao Mu smiled, "If you're willing to wait a little longer, maybe I can try it for you for free......"
He thought of Professor X, if he let that guy try it with his powerful "psychic powers", he might be able to easily cure Kushana's mother's mental illness.
Kushana was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.
Crotova stopped talking, he wanted to remind Kushana that the other party's words were unfounded, but he was afraid of Qiao Mu's ability and did not dare to take the initiative to speak.
But soon, suspicion appeared in his expression, because Kushana's mother, the princess of the kingdom of Dorumegia, her state had always been a secret to the outside world, and she only learned about it by chance.
Qiao Mu captured Crotova's thoughts through his "telepathic" ability, and with a smile on his face, he turned to Crotobe and said, "I know about this, is it strange?" β
"I know," Qiao Mu cleared his throat, "you're a spy sent to Kushana by the Black King, oh, now you probably think Kushana is more suited for allegiance, right?" β
"Well, you shouldn't like Kushana's ruthless appearance, I hope she's a little more kind...... You don't like her, do you? Qiao Mu's expression couldn't help but become weird.
His voice caused an uproar among the soldiers, and it was clear that very few of them knew Crotova's true identity.
Kushana wasn't surprised, but it was only at the end of Qiao Mu's words that her face changed, and her eyes sharpened when she looked at Crotova.
"How is it possible, you are talking nonsense!" Crotova subconsciously ignored the fear of the arbor, but was full of anger and corruption that was debunked by the arbor.
"Don't be nervous." Qiao Mu smiled.
He pointed to his head, "I can feel your thoughts. β
Crotova kept his mouth tightly closed, trying to keep himself calm.
Shocked by these people, Qiao Mu planned to leave.
Nausicaa was once again retained.
Qiao Mu was about to refuse, but suddenly thought of the plots that happened in the movie, looked at Nausicaa with strange eyes, and nodded in agreement.
"You guys stay with me, I'll tell you the rules of the trade and some commodities." Nausicaa looked at Kushana again.
The operation did not lead to anything, but instead destroyed a ship, so Kushana had no intention of leaving.
What's more, she has not been completely relieved about what the other party said.
After leaving the soldiers where they were, she led ten of her guards, including Crotois, toward the tallest house in the middle of the Valley of the Wind.
Juba walked at the end of the crowd, smiling, already sensing the transformation of the world. This anticipation made him feel good, and he couldn't help but take out the small half bottle of wine that had not yet been drunk from his arms and take a sip.
The aroma of wine spreads out and falls on the crowd in front of them.
Crotova, who was walking in the back position, jerked his steps and turned back hesitantly.
When he saw that the smell was made by a glass bottle containing a clear liquid in Yuba's hand, his face changed slightly.
Glancing quietly at the arbor, he stopped until Yuba, who had bowed his head and was drinking, came to his side.
"You're drinking?" Krotova asked.
When Yuba, who was a little forgetful for a while, heard this voice, he suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly put the wine in his arms, and said coldly: "It has nothing to do with you!" β
His response made Crotova's eyes light up: it's really wine!
Ever since he had been rewarded by the king of Wu and tasted a wine, Crotova, a general who had been promoted from a commoner, had been fascinated by such delicious tastes.
It's just that the current living conditions of human beings in the world are difficult, and the limited food is eaten, even the kingdom of Dorumegea has issued a ban on alcohol, prohibiting wine, so even if he spends a lot of money, he only drinks it twice occasionally.
Now, it's been a year and a half since he last drank.
The worm in his stomach was aroused, and a smile appeared on Crotova's face, and he said flatteringly: "Can you give me a sip, a small sip is enough." β
Juba hesitated for a few seconds, but finally took the wine out of her arms.
Seeing that Crotois was about to snatch the wine bottle from his hand, he hurriedly withdrew his hand, and in the other party's puzzled gaze, he took out the wine bottle cap and carefully poured the small half of the cap.
"Stingy." Crotova sneered, but thanked him and took the cap into his hand.
He put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it for a long time before he drank it down.
The spicy and fragrant smell of wine made him feel burning in his chest, and it tasted many times better than the last time he drank it.
"Good wine!" Crotova praised.
