Chapter 50: The Smoke
Chapter 50: The Smoke
Different from the sighs of the two old men in the small building, the three people in the medical room at the other end of the Star Courtyard stared at the pitiful piece of burning incense in Ai Mo's small and delicate fingers with very excited eyes.
"That's it!" Merge wanted to take it but didn't dare to touch the burning incense in Ai Mo's hand because of the constant itching and burning heat coming out of his body, so he said with an extremely anxious expression: "It's this ghost who burns incense, which makes me feel a sudden itching and burning in my body." ”
Ai Mo didn't expect to find the reason for the mutation of Merge's body so quickly, and her crystal clear eyes flashed with surprise, "This is the incense I made for my grandfather, and the aroma of the incense has a calming effect." ”
"Because my grandfather often engaged in some alchemical research, which was very mental and mental energy, and I happened to get a piece of Youluo Smoke from Granny Teresa, so I used this Youluo Smoke to make a burning incense. A look of doubt rose on Amore's naturally pale face, and she couldn't take her eyes off the burning incense that had burned to the bottom in her hand.
"What's the smoke?" Merge also stared at the incense in Amore's hand, which was almost running out, but Merge's eyes were shining with excitement.
"Smoke is the main ingredient of incense, and it is the fruit of a rare flower. Amo paused, "Youluo smoke can be regarded as a medicinal spice, which has the medicinal effect of calming the mind and soothing mental fatigue. This is called the Smoke Fruit, taken from the rare Smoke Flower, which is extremely rare, and the flowering period is as long as 50 years, only when the flowering period arrives, the petals of the Smoke are in full bloom, and the Smoke will be produced. ”
"After flowering and fruiting, the flowers will wither and die, and the smoke from the petals will fall to the ground. ”
"When the fruit falls off, it hardens, and the color gradually turns to pale black, and a faint white smoke is emitted, and the smoke has a calming effect. The corners of Ai Mo's mouth hooked up a shallow smile, "It is because the fruit of the Youluo flower will emit white smoke after falling off, so it is named Yuluo smoke." ”
"It is an extremely rare medicinal spice, and as far as I know, it has no other medicinal effects. Amore concluded.
"Do you still have the spice of Youluo Smoke?" said Merge, looking at Amore with an eager look.
Amore shook her head, "No, Granny Teresa only got two pieces of smoke." Because although the smoke is rare, it has no other effect, so he gave me a piece. The remaining piece was also given by Granny Teresa to an archbishop of the Holy See of Light in Yue Fancheng. ”
Hearing this, Merge's expression immediately darkened, "That Archbishop of Yue Fancheng, did you use up the Youluo smoke?"
"This ...... I don't know. Amore shook her head again, "Well, after I've been busy with the tasks assigned by Granny Teresa in the past few days, I'll set off for Yue Fancheng to ask the archbishop if he has used the Youluo smoke." ”
Amore smiled slightly, signaling Merge not to be anxious, "Because of Granny Teresa, I have met the archbishop many times, so if the smoke is still there, I should be able to ask for it." After all, to others, smoke is just an uncommon spice. ”
"Okay, thank you, Amore. Merge nodded, but his gloomy expression did not change there.
"Ai Mo, you said that Youluo smoke is the main ingredient for burning incense, so do you use other spices or medicinal materials for burning incense?" Su Bai, who had been silent all the time, suddenly asked Ai Mo.
"There are a lot of other excipients, and tomorrow I will list the excipients in detail, and you can look for them one by one. Reminded by Su Bai's words, Ai Mo remembered something equally important.
After all, the smoke is only the main ingredient for burning incense, and it is not necessarily the cause of the abnormal changes in Merge's body. The culprit may also be other medicinal materials for making incense.
Hearing this, Su Bai nodded.
However, seeing Merge's sad expression, Su Bai, who was sitting next to Merge, arched Merge with his shoulder, "You can ask Granny Teresa where she got the Youluo Smoke, and then the two of us can just go and find it?"
Hearing this, Moge raised his head sharply and slapped his thigh hard, "Yes!
"I only know that Youluo Smoke was found by Granny Teresa in the Tianyue Mountains, and I don't know the exact location. In fact, even the habits of the smoke and the flowers were told to me by Granny Teresa, and I have never seen them. Hearing Su Bai's proposal, Amore lost no time in saying.
Ai Mo didn't know the specific location of the Youluo smoke, and the two of them had already guessed in their hearts, so for Ai Mo's words, the two of them just nodded very gratefully.
"But ......" Merger, who looked excited, suddenly became speechless, "Who is Granny Teresa?"
"......", Su Bai was once again defeated by Merge's ignorance.
On the side, hearing that Merge didn't know who Mother Teresa was, Amore was very surprised, and even looked at Merge with dull eyes, unable to believe it for a while.
Su Bai forcibly wanted to cut open Merge's brain to see if it was a stone inside, and explained with a gloomy face: "Granny Teresa is the dean of the Pharmacy Academy and Amore's teacher. However, most of the students in the Star Academy like to call her the old man Granny Bitter Tree. ”
"Granny Bittertree?" Merge raised an eyebrow.
"Because Granny Teresa has a strange temper and leaves constantly grow on her body, everyone calls Granny Teresa Granny Bitter Tree. Amore sighed slightly.
"Why does Granny Theresa keep growing leaves?" asked Merge again, puzzled.
"Granny Teresa accidentally suffered from a strange poison in her early years, and she visited many legendary pharmacists to find a way to detoxify, but all the pharmacists had no way to solve the strange poison on Granny Teresa. ”
"This rare and extremely poisonous poison is constantly eroding Granny Teresa's life and body with the passage of time, and if it weren't for a legendary pharmacist who researched a potion that can temporarily suppress the strange poison, Granny Teresa might have died of poison. ”
"Although she received a potion to temporarily suppress the strange poison in her body, Granny Teresa's life is still gradually being eroded and swallowed by the toxin. It's just that the speed at which the toxin devours and destroys Granny Teresa's life and body has slowed down under the suppression of the potion. Therefore, Granny Teresa was still in danger at that time. ”
"Granny Teresa didn't want to die, because no one would just give up on finding a solution and wait for death when she saw her life passing. Amore's expression was pained, as if she was heartbroken by the death torture that Granny Teresa had endured.
"Granny Teresa frantically searched for a way to detoxify, and finally, when the last strange poison of the year was on the verge of exploding, Dean Chen Xing found someone who could solve the toxin in Granny Teresa's body. Amore's dim eyes shimmered brightly.
"Who is that person?" asked Su Bai eagerly.
"Actually, it's not a human ......," Ai Mo stuck out her tongue with a cute expression, "The person that Dean Chen Xing found who could solve the toxin is the ancient tree elves in the elven royal court that have disappeared. ”
