Chapter 46: The Uses of Lampworms
A fat lightworm pulls out its sharp mouthparts from the bark of a vine. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
A wisp of bright red liquid slowly spilled out of the rattan's wound, quickly condensing into a gel after encountering air.
The fat lantern insect opened the carapace on its back, stretched out a pair of wings as thin as cicada wings, and shook it hard.
Feeling its body float lightly, it hummed a few more times in satisfaction.
The dragon's blood vine under its feet could no longer provide it with enough vine juice, and it needed to start a new journey.
The tentacles found a strange breath in the humid air, and this breath made it fascinated.
Perhaps only a powerful lightworm like himself can feel the coveted calling.
Fat lampworms fluttered their wings and floated up from the dragon's blood vine.
The weaker companions around them were still sucking on the remaining bland liquids of the rattan, and they were very happy to see a strong competitor leave.
These idiots.
The fat lightworm buzzed as if mocking, leaving the rattan that had been there for almost its entire life.
"There are some mavericks in every group. ”
"They are either madmen, or geniuses, or forerunners, or martyrs. Some of them may make history, such as the great rector of our first university, and some of them will become the joke of people after dinner...... For example, the editor-in-chief of "Gentlemen and Ladies". ”
"Either way, they're always a little different...... It's like this lightworm. ”
The wandering wizard smiled and raised the glass bottle in his hand, and a lightworm that was significantly larger than the rest of his companions was struggling in the honeypot.
But this sweet trap is more sticky than it expected.
When it laboriously pulled one of its thin feet out of the honey, three more sank deeper, and when it sucked the sugar juice off its wings, it found that the carapace was covered with a thick layer of booty.
"Lampworms from different origins will have different characteristics. ”
"For example, the carapace of the Longshang lantern insect that fades after autumn is a good medicine for wind and pain, and the larvae of the Amazon lantern insect that has been soaked in water for more than three years can be used as bait for demon hunting...... Many demons can't tell the difference between these larvae and the taste of wizards' brains, and the Pyrenees lampworm, which is a great snack when soaked in salt water and lightly fried in boiling oil. ”
Zheng Qing glanced at the fat man's Adam's apple and squirmed slightly.
He had never noticed before that this fat man could still see the Adam's apple!
The wandering wizard shook the glass bottle in his hand, and the viscous liquid tumbled and surged from all directions, completely submerging the fat lightworm that was still struggling.
"The bugs in my store are from Suffolkshire. ”
"They are excellent neutralizers when it comes to concoction. ”
"Feed with the juice of dragon's blood vine, brew it in the royal jelly of a green-tailed bee for thirty-six days, and then soak it in amber light with Polygonum multiflori, golden shoots, nutmeg, and toad crisp, seal it, avoid light, and bury it in the shade for more than a year, you can get this drink with brilliant color and infinite charm. ”
The wandering wizard raised the transparent liquid in his hand and raised it to several young wizards:
"It's a private drink, and I call it 'Golden Years.'" ”
In his cup, those golden stars still swam like living creatures, bringing out heavy ripples.
Zheng Qing looked at the honeypot in the wandering wizard's hand.
Inside the jar, the fat lightworm was sinking deeper into the honey.
Like a small bug trapped in amber, it struggles like an electric shock from time to time.
Its belly was still sprayed with a silvery white afterglow, like a sparkling diamond through the orange sugar juice.
"Are you still going to be a maverick student?" asked the wandering wizard in a gentle tone.
"Nope. Zheng Qing flatly refused, looking at the smile on the corner of the wandering wizard's mouth, he added: "I don't plan to be like this bug who thinks that I am very unique, and ends up falling into a honey pot and trapping my whole life into it. ”
The smile on the corner of the wandering wizard's mouth slowly retracted.
He finally raised his head and lifted the brim of his broad hat, revealing a pair of dark eyes without a trace of whiteness:
"Very sensible. ”
"But it's also very stupid. ”
"If there's one thing I've learned in my long life, it's apathy. If you want to live a life of compassion, be prepared to shed tears. ”
"When I was a child, my biggest dream was to die and sit in the catacombs of the Capuchin monastery and wait for the Kingdom of Heaven to come quietly with other devout mummies. Growing up, walking a long way along the Nile, the mummies buried deep in the desert told me that even the gods had a time to fall. ”
"First University is not the Garden of Eden. ”
"This is the hunting ground for wizards. ”
The atmosphere in the private room was a little oppressive.
The lantern insects lying on the dragon's blood vine were keenly aware of this, so they shrunk their bellies and gathered the scattered light.
The room was getting darker.
"We really don't need anything that involves black magic. Xiao Xiao suddenly spoke on the side.
He squatted in front of the glass coffee table, carefully looked at the vermilion lacquer lockets, raised his head, and looked at Zheng Qing: "You really don't need those black witchcraft...... That would lower your status. But you probably won't mind bringing some protective gear with you at school. ”
"In the wizarding world, there is never a time when amulets are superfluous. Zhang Jixin also added next to him.
His alcohol seemed to have dissipated somewhat, and his eyes no longer looked red.
Only the face is as bright red as ever.
Zheng Qing hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Then choose a talisman." ”
Since both friends suggested it, it was better for you to accept it.
He was very self-aware, and knew that his understanding of the wizarding world was no different from that of a three-year-old child.
At times like these, it is very beneficial to listen appropriately to the advice of others.
"I want it too!" Xin Fat Man tried to swallow the snack in his mouth and raised his hand with great interest.
"Very sensible. The wandering wizard repeated the phrase again. He nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand to put away the sinister dark sorcery spells.
Only a row of amulets exuding pastel colors remained on the coffee table.
"This is a black donkey hoof from Jiaozhou, which comes from an eighty-year-old old donkey. Of the four donkey hooves it contributed, two were bought by the three-pronged sword, and one was taken by the people of the Qingqiu Su family. The wandering wizard pointed to the dusty, wine-glass-like little thing in the lacquer box, and reminded, "If I were you, I would definitely choose it...... As far as I know, one of Sir Friedman's friends is a junior named Shogun, who is of Drought Blood, and is an awakened zombie. ”
Zheng Qing had an incredulous expression on his face: "There are still zombies in the school?"
"Zombie students, to be exact. If there can be vampires and werewolves, why can't there be zombies?" Zhang Jixin grabbed the black donkey's hooves, stuffed them into his arms, and patted Zheng Qing on the shoulder with a smile: "You said you wanted to give us a gift, then I will choose this!"
Zheng Qing nodded dizzily, always feeling that something was wrong.
