Chapter 16 Poppy (Part 2)

(This is the second update today. The number of updates this month should increase a lot.)

----------------------------------------

eager!

That longing look was like a greedy child coveting the lollipop in his hand. This kind of look is very clean, just pure needs and desires, but it does not have the kind of uncontrollable greed and madness, the kind of drug addict who cannot extricate himself like a drug addict.

It seems that although their drug addiction is deep, the toxicity is not serious.

"Sacred flower? Is the poppy flower the sacred flower of the elves?" Murphy looked at Queen Evana in disbelief and said slowly.

"Yes." Queen Evana's eyes were quite strange. She withdrew her gaze from the poppy seeds. She was a little curious about the disbelief in Murphy's mouth, but she still explained: "The sacred flower is called by the high elves. Mandala, also known as purple mandala, is said to be the most beautiful and delicate flower that blooms in the depths of hell. They are gifts from the goddess of life and are poisons that help elves connect with the World Tree."

poison?

Do the elves know that this stuff is poisonous?

"How come you have the fruit of the divine flower? Only elves with pure blood in Manzhu Luohua can resist its poison. For other races, they are poisons of temptation and corruption! They are temptations from hell! All along, higher-level The elves strictly prohibit other races from knowing its existence and function." Queen Evana looked at Murphy quite strangely, and it was obvious that she knew that Murphy knew what this thing was.

This thing is a secret among the elves, and even many ordinary elves don't know its specific function.

"It seems that the high elves know that they are taking drugs, and the drug addiction is not strong enough to affect their sanity. It just creates a special subtle influence." Murphy thought to himself.

“If you know it’s poisonous, why are you growing it?”

Murphy was confused.

Why do the elves respect the poppy so much and call it the ‘gift of the goddess of life’?

"A long time ago, Manzhu Luohua was called [Flower of the Other Side], which means the flower of hell." Queen Evana seemed to be recalling some distant memories, which were the inheritance of the high elves, and existed in her blood. some memories.

"The resting place of the soul."

Queen Evanna strolled up to Murphy, gently twisted the poppy seeds with her white fingers, and said leisurely: "Legend has it that before the civilization of the elves was born, hell was the place where all species went after death. All this has always been After the fall of the Titans, the World Tree was planted by the ancient elves. Under the blessing of the Tree of Life, the elves had a new resting place for their souls."

"That's [The Emerald Dream]."

"Manchuria is the only flower that blooms in the Emerald Dream!"

Murphy was shocked.

"The flower of the other shore?" He murmured in a low voice and said slowly: "The other shore of the soul is hell, the flower of hell."

The resting place of the soul.

This is not the first time Murphy has heard this title.

………………

There seems to be some connection between these pieces of information, but Murphy can't figure it out now because he still can't determine what it refers to. Moreover, under the classification of modern science on earth, datura flowers and poppy flowers are not the same species. Although in Western legends, purple datura symbolizes terror and is indeed a flower blooming in hell, with the same meaning. Hallucinogenic effects.

"Although Manzhu Luohua can help you meditate and make it easier for you to communicate with the elements of nature, as a human you are not suitable to use it." Queen Evana looked at Murphy in thought and said slowly: "Because Many high elves can never leave it after a long time."

"It itself represents a temptation, the temptation of hell!"

Murphy shook his head and said: "I didn't use it. You call it manjuhua, but we call it poppy. What effect does this kind of thing have, and what kind of horror will it bring? effect."

"I know everything."

He looked up at the queen who was more beautiful than he remembered, and wondered: "Can poppies help with meditation?"

"you do not know?"

Queen Evenna was obviously a little surprised. She asked, "Then how come you have the fruit of the divine flower?"

"This was left by the elves who once lived here. My subordinates discovered that poppy seeds are a special seasoning. They put this into their food, but it tasted different when I ate it. ." Murphy told the story.

"It turned out to be left behind by the watchers." Queen Evana stopped talking, as if there were some things she didn't want to mention.

"Mandala flowers and poppy flowers..." Murphy suddenly remembered several formulas about alchemical pharmacies in "Goblin Alchemy". Among the several alchemical formulas that help meditation to enhance magic power, they were all mentioned. The presence of datura flowers. Unlike the datura flowers on earth, the datura flowers in this world are special varieties and have some strange medicinal effects.

Datura flowers are a flower commonly grown by arcanists.

And among all datura flowers, almost all have a very special medicinal effect, that is, the hallucinogenic effect!

Hallucinogenic!

To put it simply, it means being in a trance, being distracted, and in severe cases, even hallucinations.

But Murphy thought about it and suddenly discovered that this hallucinogenic effect was indeed partially consistent with the state of meditation, because meditation initially disperses consciousness throughout the body and enters a state of muddled silence and void. If you use the hallucinogenic effect and add a certain amount of consciousness guidance, I am afraid it can really improve meditation!

Shaking his head, Murphy temporarily gave up delving into these issues.

He raised his hand to signal Queen Evanna to sit down, and then collected a few poppy seeds. These things must be collected later. This thing must not exist in the army, not even a little bit. !

"Let's talk about cooperation." Murphy stared into Queen Evanna's jewel-like eyes and said calmly.

Her beauty is truly astonishing. The elegance that belongs to the high elves and the charming temptation from the harpy form a kind of combination of purity and charm, an indescribable innate charm. The temptation of general sexual suggestion. Even the strong-willed Murphy felt a little resistant to this kind of beauty, so in order to avoid being swayed by her in the negotiation, Murphy wisely avoided her beautiful face and just stared into her eyes.

Eyes don't deceive!

"The power of the elders is very great. They hold more than half of the say. Except for the priests who have escaped the blood curse like me, almost all the priests in the sacrificial group are in their hands." Queen Evana had no unnecessary polite words. She spoke very directly and clearly about the situation within the harpy tribe. Since contacting the messenger from Athens and learning that Murphy was the human who saved her that day, and understanding the power of Athens and the gods who are called the Olympus gods who stand behind Athens, Queen Evanna The idea of ​​using Murphy's power came into mind.

"How many harpies are there who have escaped the curse like you?" Murphy asked very directly what he wanted to know. "About what percentage of the harpies in the tribe obey your orders?"

The power held by Queen Evanna determines how he will make his next plan.

"One thousand, two hundred and thirty-one." Queen Evana glanced at Murphy, frowned slightly and said: "About half of the people in the tribe obey my arrangements, because I represent the future of the tribe. But the elders The power held by the regiments is too great, and their rule has gone through thousands of years and has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

"In addition, the harpies who have escaped the blood curse like me now call themselves - winged people!" Having said this, Queen Evanna looked back at the pair of white wings behind her with pride. The long curse brought them endless pain, but after the pain ended, fate still gave them a new gift, which is this pair of wings, allowing them to soar in the sky!

Winged human race?

The corners of Murphy's mouth curled up slightly, and for some reason he thought of the angels in Western legends.

"How many people are there in the elders group?" Murphy asked in a deep voice.

Queen Evanna seemed to understand what Murphy meant, because she felt the killing intent in his words. She hesitated slightly, then her expression turned to determination, and she said slowly: "There are six people in the elders group, but There is an elder who is nearing the end of his life. Five elders are now in charge of the sacrificial group."

"If all these elders disappear, can you control the entire group?" Murphy asked the most critical question.

And the killing intent in his words became more and more obvious.

"Yes!" Queen Evana seemed to have made up her mind, nodded, and said firmly.

"Okay, you find a way to make them come out again, and I will arrange for manpower to deal with them." Murphy made a 'click' gesture and said solemnly.

Queen Evana raised her eyebrows lightly and said with some uncertainty: "After today's incident, they may not still..."

Murphy smiled and shook his head.

He gently placed a poppy seed in the palm of Queen Evanna. The white and tender touch from his fingertips made him slightly startled, and then he said: "They will come!"

Queen Evana seemed to understand what he meant, and her eyes suddenly brightened.

………………

The harpies moved to the Karazhan Mountains adjacent to Athens, which was a big trouble for Murphy!

How can we allow others to snore and sleep on the couch?

The existence of the harpy elders is a hidden threat to Athens. Such a threat must be removed as quickly as possible. And if the harpy tribe is controlled by Queen Evana, who was saved by him once, it will also be a potential help that he can use in the future.

The sooner this trouble is solved, the better!
