66. Hemp
The Modesti broke through the wall of water, the speed accelerated sharply, every obstacle completely disappeared, the hull shook violently, but there was no trace of water rushing to the boat, the double protection of Tina and Xiaoshuang was still effective,
When Wang Qinian looked back again, the stormy waves were rolling, and the center stirred up a thousand snowflakes like waves, and the waves on the sea gradually subsided, but he saw that in the sea behind him, some people were floating and sinking.
Wang Qinian ordered to turn around and save people, this is a rule, when encountering shipwrecks at sea, you can't stand idly by, although you have a grudge with Newmonsi, but it can't be a reason not to save people.
The Modesti increased its full power and sailed towards those who fell into the water, the distance between them was relatively far, but it was not far enough to be out of sight, the strangeness on the sea had disappeared, Wang Qinian was still not at ease, his spiritual sense was still observing, he was still a fog about the unpredictable situation in the ocean, but he did not find anything abnormal.
The boat reached the man who had fallen into the water, lowered the lifeboat, and rescued the people on the sea, a total of thirty-one people, fourteen in Newmonsey, and seventeen in Eju, and the boat searched twice more and found that there were no survivors, so it sailed out of the sea.
With thirty-one more refugees on board, Wang Qinian decided to sail to Tuopu City, the nearest city on the Barbarian Continent, which was a coastal city in Egyptia, a country on the southern tip of the continent, and it was impossible for Wang Qinian to bring them to Yi'anzhou.
The people on both sides thanked Wang Qinian for saving them, and when they heard that the ship was the Modesti, the people of Eju had nothing, but New Mengxi had a strange look on his face, and Wang Qinian knew why. His own ship was the object of Newmoncy's want, but it saved the people of Newmonsy's fleet.
A few days later, the ship arrived in Tuopu City, the two people got off the boat, and Wang Qinian and others said goodbye, Wang Qinian decided to stay in Tuopu City, the residents of Tuopu City are local orcs, but Wang Qinian felt more to a black man, orcs are the white people of Taixi continent, but the time has been tens of thousands of years. Now that's just a title. It doesn't mean anything else.
Like the cities of this era, Topcity did not have any planning, and the city was originally formed spontaneously and later renovated. The pavement was changed to bluestone slabs. Because the Barbarian Continent had communicated with Tessie and Newmonsi a long time ago. Their fate is not as tragic as that of blacks on earth.
But in this world, the trade of orc slaves happens from time to time, of course. There are also white slave traders, but the number is small, mainly due to the fact that the orcs are not very united, there are dozens of orc countries in the barbarian continent, but only two are strong countries, one is Eju, the other is Egyptia, just one south and one north, the small countries in the middle are constantly at war, in fact, the proxy war is carried out by the two great powers, on the surface, the relationship between the two countries is good, but the situation behind it, no one can say.
Topcity is famous for the dragonfly orchid, an orchid whose flower resembles a flying dragonfly, and another product is hemp, a magical plant with a narcotic and stimulant effect, and a poison-like thing, which is popular in the barbarian continent, but people have not paid attention to it.
The large-scale cultivation of hemp is only a matter of the past ten years, initially discovered by an orc in the deep mountains, the Nu Zai people, so that people have the feeling of fluttering immortals, and did not take it seriously, as a holy product to smoke and eat, and then popularized.
The flower of hemp is like a flaming crane, so the hemp is also called the flaming crane flower, its leaves are rolled into a cigarette roll, and its fruit is more precious, it is not only the raw material for the magician to extract a stimulant, but also a kind of excellent smoked food, called the drunken god fruit, is the best product for the superior people in the city to entertain distinguished guests.
Wang Qinian, Tina and Xiaoshuang went ashore, there were many people selling flowers, Wang Qinian picked two bouquets and gave them to Tina and Xiaoshuang, for Xiaoshuang, the flowers were too big, she carried them on her shoulders, and the whole person sat on Wang Qinian's shoulders, and the flowers had covered her, just like Wang Qinian had a bouquet of flowers on his shoulders.
Wang Qinian also saw that many people were spitting clouds and mist, and he didn't pay attention at first, thinking that they were smoking, although smoking is not good, Wang Qinian doesn't have to care about them, but it is the first time he has seen someone smoking in this outside world, which is an exception, and even Wang Qinian has a sense of intimacy.
But after asking carefully, Wang Qinian felt that something was wrong, hemp, Wang Qinian remembered the big hemp on the earth, could it be that this is a poisonous product, Wang Qinian asked what they were sucking and where they bought it.
Wang Qinian came to the door of a tobacco house, and when he entered the inside, he saw that in the glass cabinet at the door, the cigarettes were not packaged, and they were sold in bulk, and there were even lying beds inside, and there was a brown thing burning in the cigarette gun. Wang Qinian's mind couldn't help but think of the opium smokers and opium eaters he saw in movies and television in his previous life, and he felt that things were not so simple.
He bought some cigarettes and drunken fruit products on the counter, in terms of price, cigarettes are not expensive, but drunken fruit is very expensive, Wang Qinian bought a lot, the waiter strongly recommended this kind of thing to him to smoke, it is simply a blissful enjoyment in the world, even the emperor does not do it.
Xiaoshuang and Tina were very strange, and Xiaoshuang asked, "Wang, you buy so much, do you want to smoke these things?"
"I'm not going to smoke, I'm going to test it, people don't seem to know about his danger. Wang Qinian said.
"What, it's dangerous, then these people seem to enjoy it. Tina asked curiously, too.
"Yes, if my estimate is correct, it should be called a poison, which contains stimulants and narcotic substances, and when a person smokes it, he forgets for a moment the pain of the world. ”
"Isn't that great?"
"If this is the case, it cannot be called a drug, it is the most important thing that makes people addicted, and gradually people cannot do without it, and as soon as they leave, they will be miserable, forming a drug addiction, and the body is also corroded by the poison, weakening day by day, and what is worse is that they are not interested in anything else except thinking about drugs. Wang Qinian said.
When Wang Qinian said this, the two of them were startled: "So powerful?"
"It's more than that!" "I didn't think that there would be poisons in this world, and people didn't realize the danger in them, and he, as a magician, and as a person, had the obligation to remind people, but whether it was a poison or not, it would be said after he had tested it.
He returned to the ship, and immediately began to test, and even purified a white substance from it, he tasted it slightly, concentrated, and analyzed it mechanically, he was testing the poison with his body, in the magic test, he really wanted to use animal testing, but unfortunately he didn't have it on the ship, he was different from ordinary people, he could see the effect of pharmacology clearly, so he tested the poison with his body.
He felt a wonderful experience, and suddenly felt like a dream had come true. After a few minutes, Wang Qinian felt like he had entered another world, body, soul...... The last fragment of consciousness is like a flash of lightning, a bullet that has been bored......
After a moment, I almost thought I had what I fantasized about......
Words cannot describe it! This kind of fantasy may only last for a dozen seconds, but these ten seconds are "heaven" in itself! After that, there is crime and madness, and Wang Qinian feels like a leopard, an eagle, and even feels that he is the creator, a god, a devil, a hero, a savior or destroyer of the world......
When the effect of the medicine passed, I felt that I had fallen heavily from the sky, smashed to the ground, physically and mentally exhausted, desperate, and painful, and my body was so weak that I couldn't even stand up.
At the same time, Wang Qinian is also quickly analyzing the changes in various substances in the body, the changes in various hormone levels, many things do not have a term, the human body in this world has not yet penetrated into this process, although Wang Qinian has a feeling, he recorded in his notebook, giving names to tiny hormones and other substances in the body, he is not proficient in the concept of biology on the earth, but he is also a master, and he really looks at this qiē, which is probably no one on the earth can do this.
Wang Qinian recorded quickly, and the assistant He Siping next to him, as well as Xiaoshuang and Tina, looked at him nervously, and saw that he had completed the record, so he asked him, "How is it?"
"It's amazing, once a person is addicted to this kind of drug, it's hard to quit, it's terrible, this kind of thing is resolutely forbidden by Yi'anguo, otherwise, society will be abolished, this is the experience I have recorded, and some changes in the body, you must not touch this thing, it is the devil's thing." Wang Qinian said that he was just saying it, but he was right.
Edney, one of the seventy-two gods and demons of Solomon, is known as a blasphemous witch, what Wang Qinian doesn't know is that the fire and hemp here have a close relationship with her, hemp grows in nature, Edney accidentally found its effect, so she tempted the Nu Zai people to smoke and eat, and then slowly sent the Nu Zai people out of the mountain, others don't know, her statue is on the altar of the Nu Zai people, she has no heart to collect faith in a normal way, which requires her to continue to manifest the saints, she simply uses this method to control the Nu Zai people, for the results of more than ten years, she is very satisfied, and even thinks about how to spread from the barbarian continent to other continents.
She pondered whether she should give a dream to the chief of the Nuzai people to tell him how to further purify the substance.
Wang Qinian figured out that hemp is really a poisonous product, the sailors returned one after another, some people have a hemp in their mouths, spit clouds and mist, although the leaves of hemp contain poison, but because it is burned, only a small amount of it enters the human body, one or two can not be addicted, but the number of times, gradually can not get rid of it.
Wang Qinian held a meeting on the ship, and all the cigarette rolls were confiscated, as well as the drunken god fruit, and the poisonous effect was said, and everyone was shocked.
Wang Qinian not only accepted these things, but also found someone who could write the barbarian script, he wanted to announce it to the world, so that everyone knew the danger of hemp, which was his line, as for whether the people of Tuopu City accepted it, it was not something he could control.
