Chapter 32: Addiction and Drugs

"Whoo ......" gasped as Martin pulled out his wand to heal some of his minor wounds. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info In the tense and fierce battle just now, he had no time to care about those wounds. Now that the fight is over, he has to heal it, and even with the powerful pain-relieving gums in his mouth, the pain from those wounds makes Martin wish he could heal sooner. The damned guys' weapons are sometimes cursed or poisoned, and the druid's poison immunity doesn't mean that the pain caused by the poison disappears completely. If it were possible, Martin would even wish he was treating himself with a wand that healed serious injuries - but that would be too expensive. In terms of value for money, the Wand Heals Minor Injuries is the highest, and adventurers will always tend to use the Wand for Minor Injuries if not in the heat of battle.

Martin looked up and saw that Liukrisa was also treating herself with a wand that healed minor injuries, but as she calmed down now, Martin noticed that Liukrisia had not been chewing. Doesn't she have analgesics in her mouth?

Seeing the slightly furrowed brow, Martin confirmed that Liukrisia had not used any analgesics during this adventure.

"Well, I noticed, you don't seem to be using analgesics. I don't think you're worried about reciting the wrong spell. As he spoke, Martin looked at Barend, the short and fat dwarf had not stopped chewing gum for pain relief, and the dark elf warlock Sasri was automatically ignored by Martin. The kind of guy who has nothing to do with a knife to jump off his fingernails as a pastime...... It's not unusual to not use analgesics in battle.

"I think maybe you're afraid of getting addicted. If that's the case, I have a modified coca leaf here, which also has an analgesic effect when chewed. It's much weaker than real analgesics, but there's no need to worry about getting addicted...... Martin says.

Analgesics are indeed very practical for adventurers. But worry about addiction. Many people have heard the tragic story of adventurers who use analgesics after becoming addicted. Among them, the example of one fighter is the most tragic. He was originally an experienced man who had made many great achievements. But in that life of birth and death, he gradually became addicted to another effect of analgesics - the feeling of fluttering fairy. He didn't just use analgesics to relieve the pain, but he ...... Eventually, as the measurement gradually increased, the problem also arose. The abuse of analgesics caused him to mess up an important operation. After that, he was politely asked out of the team. Although the organization still takes good care of him, what is the use of a junkie? He also devoted himself to the work of serving as a caravan guard, but eventually degenerated step by step, and even sold the caravan for drugs. Eventually, it was saddened to find that he had gone on the other side. By the time he reappears, he's become a mad dog who can do anything for drugs. Martin understands the story. Therefore, he is still cautious about this issue. As a good organization, the analgesics provided to them in the temple naturally had minimal side effects. If it were those evil groups, they would probably ignore the distribution of 3721, or simply use drugs instead of analgesics.

As he spoke, Martin handed the coca leaf over. But he was stopped by a hand that was stretched out halfway, very politely and resolutely.

"If it weren't for getting along these days, and for your master's reputation. Well, I'm almost suspicious of you. Canian stopped Martin and continued, "I'm not going to allow Lyukrisia to use this kind of thing." ”

"But it's not what you might think, it's actually ......," Martin argued. "Needless to say. I'm not a druid, but I have such a deep understanding of nature. But I also know that many ethnic groups drink the water soaked in this thing like tea. But, as her father. I'm not going to allow her to touch this. I wouldn't even let her drink cough syrup with that stuff. I'll be cautious about anything that's addictive. This is not just the attitude of a father, but also the attitude of a holy warrior. ”

"Really, what about wine, what about cigarettes, aren't these all addictive things?" Martin was a little upset, thinking that Canion was making a fuss, so he said defiantly.

"That's right, she drinks, and I drink too. But have you ever seen an alcoholic paladin? besides, there is actually a group of paladins who believe that paladins should not be contaminated with anything that can make people addicted. Don't say that you can't smoke alcohol, you can't smoke it. Even coffee, tea are among the fasts. I'm not going to get to that point, though. But I won't let up on the issue of coca leaves. ”

"Well, I should have filled those people with one more strip, chocolate!" Martin said with some resignation. "But I have to make one point. The coca leaf and what it extracts are not equators. It's like wine, and before the advent of distilled spirits, no one was going to be affected by alcohol......"

"I understand what you mean. Quantitative and qualitative changes...... But you have to realize that you might start with these seemingly harmless things, but then what? probably you're not feeling strong enough, and you're going to go further and go for something more exciting. This is a degenerate acceleration curve. The best way to deal with this is to eliminate it from the beginning! Also, now is not the time to discuss problems, and this is not the place to discuss them. In many cases, people just need to make their point of view for each other, and if you get into too much argument it will only make others feel that you are annoying, even if you are right. If you don't understand this, then you must have problems with your relationships. In the end, if you can't bear this pain, then there is no need to be a holy warrior. ”

"......" Martin didn't say anything in the end. It is true that this is not the time to discuss this issue. As Cannian walked away, Lyukrisia leaned closer and whispered to Martin, "Thank you for your concern, really." I don't need those coca leaves, though. I can bear the pain...... Even without my father's dissuasion, I wouldn't have wanted it...... Besides, it also has an analgesic effect when I use magic treatment. ”

In this regard, Martin has a new admiration for Liukrisia. Medical treatment with positive energy does have an analgesic effect. But how can it be possible to treat an injury as soon as it is wounded? In battle, it is often necessary to continue fighting after only basic treatment, and although such simple treatment can prevent the wound from worsening, the pain will not go away. Endure the pain and chant the spell and fight...... Anyway, it takes a lot of will.

Anyway, after a lot of effort. In the case of the use of divine magic and other healing techniques. The team members have regained their combat capability. In this world of divine magic, it is normal to not be in the line of fire with minor injuries. Although some team members are indeed seriously injured even after treatment and can no longer fight, they can still move and do not need to share manpower to take care of them. With the end of the count of the number of people and the reorganization of the ranks. A new round of buff magic fell on them again.

In the previous battle, in addition to the enemy's caster's dismantling spell and other spell attacks, the buff magic disappeared, and effects such as protective energy damage naturally disappeared after absorbing the enemy's attack. Others are naturally dissipated when the time comes. Now, it's time to replenish those buff states.

The caster's spell slot has always been tight. At this moment, wands, scrolls, and potions are in full swing. In addition, some party members carry magic items that can themselves buff the user or cast spells. Naturally, those scrolls were saved, that is, gold coins were saved. If you use consumables like scrolls entirely, a set of buff mana can cost a lot of money.

Evil Protection, Hazy, Tree Skin, Elemental Damage Resistance, Elemental Absorption, Stone Skin, Devotion Shield, Jumping, Tumbling, Knowledge, Arcane Eye, Pious Shield, Spell Resistance...... Of course, it can't be that everyone is full of these buffs. The application of these buffs depends on the specific situation of the party member. In fact, it was a university question, and it was discussed and studied many times before the war. So in the end, the buff status on each team member did not reach an excessive level. Still, Martin wondered how painful it would be for the mid-rise to hit the Vortex in this situation......

Because of the presence of the bard Remy, they saved the spell of heroism. The music of a bard like Remy is indeed supernatural, and it is no different from magic.

Despite the thought of this, Martin felt a little disgusted with Remy's music - it was not his own level of music that could infect people, but relying on magic...... But Martin had to admit that this time Remy chose the right song, and the song successfully boosted the morale of the players...... After all, even with the help of magic, banter can't make people's blood boil!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――I'm sorry, I've been a little busy lately, both in terms of learning and lack of self-control...... After raising a brutal general with +18 life in Novgorod, he was busy conquering Denmark and Norway...... Snake cannon roar, Cossack salvo muskets, plus foot dvo......

Well, this chapter talks about drugs, and it must be pointed out that the old paladin was indeed a little overly wary of what coca leaves were saying. But it's true that don't ignore the so-called soft drugs. Rome wasn't built in one day...... The same goes for other things. Complete all those new gadgets, say anything that won't be addictive or anything, but don't try it either...... In reality, marijuana plays a very bad guiding role. The harm of marijuana itself is not particularly scary, but the problem is that it is easier for people who smoke marijuana to go one step further...... And, with the development of technology, people have discovered that some things that were initially thought harmless are actually dangerous. For example, cocaine. Experiments have been conducted to injure mice with cocaine and heroin. After a while, the heroin-playing mice were still able to rely on drugs to make a "normal living." But those who play cocaine are gone.

By the way, the question of cough syrup is no joke, although cough syrups don't use that anymore. But the addiction problem is still there, and if you see someone who has to fill a bottle of cough syrup every day, then be wary of him.

Alcohol is also dangerous. It's nothing for young people to drink at parties, or even to get down on their stomachs. But alcohol is no more difficult to ruin a person than drugs. After all, alcohol can be obtained anywhere. Dostoevsky's description is not exaggerated in a sense.

Finally, after reading MΓ©rimΓ©e's novel, I was inspired. I decided to try to create short stories with a different style. Stay tuned...... But it's probably going to be a long time coming. Although it is possible that the Ministry of Education will give universities an early holiday. But during the winter break, I had to remediate in English, play DDO and play SS Steel Roar......
