Chapter 486: Chikusa Cup (Ask for a Recommendation Ticket!Ask for a Monthly Pass!)
"It's better to pay with a knife than with money", this is a proverb of the desert elf tribe in the world of ashes, and it is also applicable in the bottomless abyss, especially if it is the treasure enchanted by the handle that is used to pay.
Walking on the path, Puu Chigua Cup played with the harvest, and from time to time cut a few St. John's wort trees on the side of the road and put them in his mouth to chew, and then "poof", spit out the light yellow herbal juice.
This half-goat man hails from Seal City, and strictly speaking, he also comes from a "famous family" - his uncle, Uli Chigusa Cup, is the most prestigious potion taster in the city of Seals, as well as a maker and merchant of potions, oils, perfumes, and venoms.
In Imprint City, the "Uli Chigusa Cup" is known to everyone, and this fame comes from his mouth, esophagus, and stomach.
Do you have a bottle of white liquid without a logo?
Did you pick up some red slime in the noisy tunnel?
Do you want to know what these things do, or what happens to ordinary people when they drink them?
Because he would never refuse a potion from someone to pass him.
Even some of the assassins would bring them elaborate potent poisons, which he would drink and then smack his mouth to tell them that they should put more nightshade and belladonna.
He was once seen swallowing enough to kill ten Barlow Demons in one gulp, but he remained smiling and patiently instructing his customers that they should add some more cerebral fluid from Poda Corps.
Of course, there are times when the Chigusa Cup misses.
Once, after drinking a gift from some "mischievous" Tieflin noble—a mixture of untreated Mind Flayer Brain Pool Essence Concentrate and Sillar's Green Toad's digestive secretions—he ran madly through the Seal City like fluorine and hydrogen in contact with each other.
He knocked over other people's signboards, horse-drawn wagons, and carts carrying goods...... And everything he could knock over. And while he ran, he also shouted the word "Wooly", so later some good people called him "Wooly".
After feeling that he would be healed, he heard others call him Wuli, and Chikusa didn't care at all. He was even somewhat satisfied with the name, so he took "Uli" as his name, and "Chigusa Cup" was upgraded to his family name.
Later, he also shaved the hair on his body and made a wool shoulder, making the name even more worthy of the name.
The Puu Chigua Cup is the nephew of the Uli Chigua Cup, and the only surviving apprentice after his teaching, and the "Puu" is taken from the habitual "pooh" (pooh) after chewing the herb, and spit out the residue and juice of the herb.
To be honest, Puu didn't like the name.
But what disgusted him even more was his uncle and master who couldn't die-
As long as the Uli Chigusa Cup is not poisoned for a day, he can only be the second-ranked potion taster in the Seal City.
In contrast, although Puwu and Wuli are in the same vein, their resistance to various toxins can be called perverted. However, Pu Wu could only chew all kinds of herbs without hindrance, and those alchemy poisons that were too powerful could still be easily killed.
In any market, "winner takes all" is a fixed iron law. Even if you achieve the "second", you can't do the "first", and the second has no meaning.
After graduating from Uli's teaching and starting his own business in Imprint City, Puu Chigusa Cup did not receive a few orders of business at all. couldn't sustain it, so he had no choice but to take refuge in the Doomsday Guardians, fantasizing about being a "chicken head" instead of a "phoenix tail".
However, the truth is brutal.
Even within the gang, everyone still thinks that the Uli Chigusa Cup is the best potion taster, and everything related to this business will pay to trade with it.
At most, Pu Wu was a somewhat skilled herbalist scholar, so he was only assigned to work in the Twelve Trees.
Because he can speak and write in the Abyssal language (a skill that is not uncommon in Market City), he is also responsible for the paperwork of the checkpoint.
The Slicklin Mantis, who couldn't even speak, was the only assistant assigned to him by the Doom Guardians, as well as a bodyguard and a promoter and supervisor of his work.
"Man, you have to understand, it's all about making a living. ”
Munching on a branch of the snake tree, Puu said to Quest who was following him, shrugging his shoulders in apology.
In fact, Quest was not as he thought, he was still haunted by his loss, he was just a little curious.
"I understand that a trade is a trade. I just don't worry...... Have you been poisoned, I see that you have already eaten six or seven kinds of poisonous weeds. ”
"Don't worry," Pu Wu rubbed his fingers and cleaned up the grass clippings, "collect money to do things, and I will definitely bring you safely to the City of Entropy." ”
"That's good. ”
Not long ago, Quest not only exchanged an enchanted elongated serrated dagger for a ticket to the Demon Altar, but also used the extra premium to let the half-sheep at the checkpoint be his guide and take him to visit the so-called "City of Entropy".
Originally, the Slicklin Mantis man disagreed, because then he would be the only one left in the checkpoint, and the work would become even more boring. At the same time, since he can't speak, there is no way to explain to those mortals, and it will definitely delay the work of work.
But after Quest said he would make amends, the Mantis people readily agreed. He initially wanted another enchanted dagger from Quith, but Quest didn't agree.
"I'm glad you left yourself a weapon," Puu said to Quest as he walked up and down, "Entropy City is one of the most important bases of the Doomsday Guardians, and if you want to walk there, you can't do without a handy." ”
Immediately afterward, he continued to ask, "Can the 'floral clothes' you give to that Slicklin Mantis man really allow him to fly into the sky?"
"It's a glider," Quest corrected.
"To be precise, a glider allows him to glide through the sky, and if he wants to fly freely, he needs to provide his own power......"
Chatting, they slowly walked to the end of the path, the altar in the center of the Twelve Trees far behind them.
Quiz estimated that they would be an hourglass or so.
Along the way, without the shade of the previous Pandiko tree, they encountered many low-class Tanali demon "pilgrims".
But to the surprise of the young blue dragon, most of these fierce guys in the past were concentrating on praying with their heads down at this time, and they didn't seem to have any interest in the half-sheep man passing in front of them, and he, a mortal who seemed to be easy to bully.
"There's something strange about this plane," Kis thought to himself.
Puu Chigusa led him to a tall tree that looked like a giant sequoia but had pale bark.
The half-sheep man stretched out his well-maintained hooves and kicked a stump at the base of the trunk, triggering a mechanism.
There was a soft sound, and the city of entropy, which was shrouded in the locks of second-class illusions all day long, appeared in front of the two of them.
