38 Silverleaf Grass
After reaching an agreement on the supply of the Ghost Grass, Samwell is in a good mood and warmly invites Nala to stay for lunch in order to deepen their relationship.
Nala didn't refuse, she could find a strong backer for the crow tribe, of course she wouldn't refuse.
When the attendant Kathu brought the food to the table, Nala lifted her veil, revealing her delicate face.
Although he is no longer young, he still has charm.
It's no wonder that the talents of the Seven Kingdoms were fascinated by Harrenhal back then.
Looking at Samwell's gaze, Nala smiled softly and explained:
"I usually wear a veil to avoid some unnecessary trouble."
"Understandable." Samwell smiled and nodded.
In this crimson mountain range that follows the law of the jungle, a woman who is too beautiful is bound to cause a lot of trouble.
However, now Nala took the initiative to remove the veil, which is also to show trust in Samwell.
Pointing to the plate in front of him, Samwell smiled, "This is the special lunch combination for the patriarch of the Blueskin Tribe, how about tasting it?" β
"Okay."
Although it is a "patriarch's meal", it is really not rich, that is, some barbecue, wild vegetables, mushrooms, goat's milk, and a plate of wild grass that Samwell does not know.
Samwell first picked up the weed and stuffed it into his mouthβ
As a man who aspires to taste all the food in Westeros, he must prefer to eat what he doesn't know.
The taste is a little bitter and spicy......
Just as Samwell was about to put this weed on his blacklist, he suddenly paused.
Because, there is actually movement in his attribute panel!
Strength increased by 0.01!
Samwell was overjoyed, and hurriedly stuffed the other two weeds on the plate into his mouth as well.
Nala, who was provoked on the side, couldn't help but wonder - this lord likes to eat grass so much?
He bought ghost grass with himself, wouldn't he also use it for food......
Seeing that the strength attribute increased again, Samwell hurriedly asked Katu on the side:
"What kind of grass is this?"
"My lord, this is Silver Leaf Grass."
"Anything else? Give me more! β
"Yes."
At this time, Nala reminded:
"Lord Caesar, you'd better not eat too much of this silver-leaved grass."
"Oh? Why? β
"Because, I suspect it's poisonous."
"Poisonous?" Samwell was slightly startled, but then questioned, "Then the patriarch of the blueskin tribe still eats every day?" β
"It shouldn't be very toxic, and if you eat less, you should be fine, but if you eat too much, I'm afraid there will be problems. If you take a look, you'll know that this silver-leaved grass is a sacred relic of the Blueskin Tribe, which can only be enjoyed by the chief, and occasionally given to the meritorious clansmen.
But the leaders who often eat this grass often do not live to be forty years old, and their spirits are somewhat abnormal, and they even go crazy out of control. β
"And they still like to eat this grass so much?"
"Because the grass cures ailments and turns their skin blue, they believe it is a gift from the gods."
Samwell frowned.
Blue skin, mental abnormalities, but can cure some diseases......
It reminded him of a certain substance.
The next moment, he stood up sharply and walked out quickly.
"I'm sorry, Lady Nala, but I suddenly have something important to do, so you can have lunch yourself."
When I walked to the door, I ran into Kathu, who was delivering food.
Samwell directly grabbed all the silver leaf grass brought by the other party, and asked while stuffing it into his mouth:
"Where does this silver-leaved grass grow?"
Kathu was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"It's right in the innermost part of the camp, and there's a little cave there."
"Go find ten riverbend soldiers to come to me in the cave and bring shovels."
"Yes, sir."
Arriving at the cave that Catou was talking about, Samwell saw Silverleaf Grass here.
In the slightly dimly lit cave, their leaves shimmer with a silvery white glow.
After listening to Lady Nala's story before, Samwell immediately realized that the leaders of these blueskin tribes were probably all chronic silver poisoning!
Silver has a bactericidal effect, so it can treat some infections, but if you eat too much, it will cause heavy metal poisoning, and it will also turn your skin and even your blood blue.
But the question is, how can these silver-leaved grasses contain metallic silver?
Samwell guessed that there might be a silver mine buried underneath the silver leaf grass!
That's why silver is enriched in this grass, causing the effect of chronic silver poisoning among the blue-skinned tribesmen.
But if that's the case, then the substance that increases his strength attribute is the Silver Leaf Grass itself? Or is it the silver that is enriched in it?
Thinking of another substance that can increase the strength attribute - goldtail shrimp, Samwell suddenly had a bold guess.
By this time, Kathu had already come with the soldiers.
"Just this place, pull out the silver leaf grass first, and then dig deep for me!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers answered, and then they went into the hole to dig.
Samwell stood outside, patiently waiting as he ate the silver-leaved grass that the soldiers had pulled out.
The movement here has attracted the attention of the wildlings, especially the wildlings of the original blueskin tribe.
This cave is filled with silver-leaved grass, which they consider a gift from the gods, so it is often considered a sacred place by them.
But now, the people of the river bend don't know what to do in their holy land.
This made them nervous and at the same time.
Of course, no one dared to stand up in protest.
After all, the contents of this cave have always been the exclusive property of the leader of the Blue Skins, and now that Samwell has conquered them, the cave is of course his own.
Time passed little by little, and Samwell numbly stuffed the silver leaf grass into his mouth, from the bitterness at the beginning, to now, he could not taste it at all.
Moreover, like goldtail shrimp, the effect will be reduced after eating too much silverleaf grass.
However, even so, after eating hundreds of Silver Leaf Grasses, Samwell's power attribute was also climbing rapidly, and finally reached 2.13!
At this time, his body's tolerance to the Silver Leaf Grass had become very high, and in the end, he actually needed to eat five plants to increase his strength by 0.01.
Samwell burped, and his mouth was full of bitter herbs.
I can't eat anymore.
Moreover, there is not much silver leaf grass left.
You have to keep some seeds to make seeds, otherwise the people of the Blue Skin Tribe will make trouble if they know that their tribal relics are extinct.
By this time, Nala had finished her lunch and came to take her captive people to take her leave.
"Yes, Lady Nala, I wish you a good journey. Also, I hope you find the Ghost Grass soon. β
Nala looked at Samwell's silvery-green teeth stained by grass juice, and wanted to say something of advice, but hesitated but didn't say it, and finally just said goodbye politely.
Not long after the Raven tribe had gone, a soldier ran out and said to Samwell:
"My lord, we've dug up some ore down there."
Samwell hurriedly walked into the cave, and sure enough, he saw some lead-gray crystal ore with a metallic sheen in a large hole.
Is this a silver mine?
Samwell was a little unsure, the color didn't seem right.
However, considering that it may not be sterling silver, this is why it shows such a color and appearance.
Samwell turned to the soldier and commanded:
"Go to Eagle's Beak Island and bring Victor and Busso over. Also, send someone to cordon off this cave, and no one is allowed to approach it without my orders! β
"Yes!"
