Chapter 869
The wine ended up being drunk
“Ah, Phillip, Nicholas… There you are… Hey, Phillip, are you drinking…?”
“Oh, Takumi. Want to drink with us?”
“Hah… I’m sorry, Mr. Takumi. Apparently, one of the old men gave it to him while I wasn’t looking.”
I had come downstairs in order to get some hot water and wipe myself clean. That was when I saw Phillip drinking, and Nicholas sighing.
He was holding a cup of red liquid. And I could tell it was wine from the smell.
“This is quite delicious. There is a tingling sensation, not just on your tongue, but your throat as well!”
“Does that mean it is the…”
“I tasted it too, just in case. And it does seem to be the serpent venom.”
“Are you sure you want to drink that?”“It definitely is weakened. Besides, the venom does not even last half a day, so it should be safe.”
Even if the wine diluted it, going out of your way to drink poison… Well, I suppose people enjoyed the feel of it. But I did not feel like doing the same.
Still, it was definitely interesting how the poison was affected by the alcohol.
What if the alcohol was also affected? Maybe you didn’t get as drunk, or there was no hangover?
Well, the villagers seemed healthy, so I doubted there were any negative side-effects.
“Ah, that’s right. Phillip…will likely not be able to talk properly, so I will just say it to you, Nicholas.”
“Yes, he is useless. So, what is it?”
“What! I can be useful, even when drunk! I am still young!”
“It’s about the chief we met today. I think we better be careful.”
“Hmm? Are you saying that he is up to no good?”
“Ah, it’s nothing like that. It’s just…I suppose a difference in life experience… He is a little suspicious. He thinks I am not telling the truth about why we are here. I told him it was because of the konjac…”
“Considering your purpose, it’s best that they do not know. Very well, we will be more careful. I will tell Phillip tomorrow when he is sober.”
“Thank you. Now…”
“Ah, Takumi! Let’s drink together!”
As I was about to leave in order to boil some water, I heard a voice call me from behind. But I ignored it and left the room.
If I let him, I would be dragged into it.
He was not drinking like he did in Range village, and Nicholas was there. So I didn’t have to worry about him.
Ah, that’s right…
“Nicholas. Give these herbs to Phillip if necessary.”
“These…Karabi. Did you make them for this?”
“Well, while I was waiting for the water to boil. I’m used to making them. Now, I know it probably won’t be necessary, but just in case.”
Karabi was the name of the herb that healed serpent poison. It was yellow and looked a little like wasabi.
Of course, I had transformed its state before handing it to Nicholas.
In this paste-like state, it could also heal petrification. When drunk, it heals the serpent poison.
I had heard that wasabi had some light disinfecting effects, so they must be quite similar…
