Chapter 168: The Legend of the Hot Spring Hotel
The dwarf must have found out his preferences from Carter.
"The implication of his words is that he wants to give me a bouquet of flowers or a bag of flower seeds as a meeting gift?"
That is of course excellent.
Absolutely welcome to Hua Mi.
People do not blame.
But not just any flower can suit his taste.
The first thing to do is nectar plants.
Secondly, it must contain enough magical elements.
Otherwise he wouldn’t waste space and energy cultivating it.
"It's a pity that there are no flower seeds in my goods." The old dwarf said regretfully, "You know, these things are not easy to sell in Tulum."
No?
That doesn't seem like a gift.
Hua Mi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"However, I happen to have some information that I would like to share with you for free."
The old dwarf paused and began to talk:
"Before coming to Blackstone Town, we rested in an inconspicuous small village.
"At that time, in order to escape With heavy snowfall, we drove the pig cart to McCange Village. Maybe you know that place, not far from Blackstone, and it took us less than five days to drive there in a pig cart.
"Of course that village is too small and relatively remote. It cannot be found on the map. That village is not much different from other human villages. It is just as simple and quiet. "But there is a very special person in the village
. Interesting legend..."
The old dwarf seemed to enjoy the atmosphere of telling stories and was immersed in it. He was not so particular about his wording. After
listening quietly, Hua Mi felt a little stirred.
I have to say, what the old dwarf told , indeed aroused his interest.
The legend of McCanger Village is this:
In the mountains not far from the village, there is an unoperated hot spring hotel.
The hotel has long been dilapidated and cannot be inhabited.
Only the one in the backyard The hot spring pool is still gushing out fresh hot spring water. From time to time, villagers will go to the hot spring for free. Gradually, some people
find that the hot spring water inside seems to have the effect of healing injuries.
If there are wounds or illness on the body, After soaking in the hot spring water for a while, you will be miraculously healed without leaving any scars.
But only if you are asleep.
If you sleep there with an injury or illness, you will find yourself restored to health when you wake up. .
But the strange thing is.
If you are awake the whole time, there will be no change.
Pretending to be asleep, or arranging for companions to hide in the dark to peek, no matter how hidden it is, will cause the healing effect of the hot spring water to be ineffective. The
old dwarf heard this After hearing the legend, I didn’t believe it at first.
If the hot spring water there really has special healing effects, why does it have to be in a state of sleeping and no one can see it to take effect? This is not common sense. The old dwarf dismissed it and just
said Think of this as a rumor in the village.
But the dwarf was curious about it and wanted to explore the mountains.
It happened that he caught a cold and contracted a disease on the road. If the hot spring water can really cure diseases, it would solve an urgent problem for him.
So He asked the villagers to take him to the mountains that night and found the abandoned hot spring hotel.
As the villagers said, there was a steaming hot spring inside the dilapidated hotel.
The dwarf soaked in the hot spring water, and it didn't take long for him to heal. He fell asleep comfortably.
When he woke up, it was already the next morning.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that his illness was really cured.
... The old dwarf also became curious about this.
He followed the little dwarf there. A hot spring hotel used props to identify the hot spring water.
The identification results showed that it was completely ordinary hot spring water, without any magical elements, and would not produce even a trace of magical effects.
So, the so-called healing effect must be It was due to factors other than the hot spring water.
In order to find out the reason, the old dwarf cut a wound on himself and entered the hot spring water.
However, as the rumors said,
he pretended to sleep or let the dwarf hide aside and observe secretly. , the results did not trigger a miracle of healing.
According to this rule, it seems that the truth will never be known.
"But I had an idea and thought of a possibly feasible plan. "The old dwarf said proudly, "There is a rare magic item in our cargo called the 'Soul Pipe'.
"Fill this pipe with tobacco, light it and take a few puffs, and your spirit body will briefly leave your body and reside in the pipe, while your body will be no different from sleeping." "..." After hearing
this
, Hua Mi thought to herself, as expected of an old Jianghu, a profiteer, he found this loophole perfectly.
And judging by his tone, it goes without saying that he must have succeeded.
"It turns out that this method is indeed effective. When my spirit body briefly left the body and was suspended above the hot spring, it didn't take long for me to see a little guy appear next to me. "I was shocked at the time
. It’s actually a flower essence! She used magic to heal my injuries! Then it disappeared! "
Speaking of this, the old dwarf calmed down and made his voice less excited.
"As you know, flowers that can produce flower essences are usually extremely rare flowers, especially in a wild state without anyone taking care of them. If you want to create flower essences, you have higher requirements for the flowers themselves.
"Flower essences usually don't stay away from the flowers they gave birth to, because flower essences have the instinct to take care of the mother flowers. So I guess there must be some kind of rare flowers near the hot spring hotel. "But we searched for a long time, and we still couldn't find it
. could not find it. We can't continue to waste time there for an illusory goal, so we can only give up the search and continue on the journey. "
The old dwarf took a deep breath and continued: "But I still believe that there are rare flowers hidden somewhere nearby, but they are hidden very deep. Maybe there is some magical effect that blocks our view... Although we didn't You can find it, but with your vast magical powers, you might be able to find a way.
"If this information is useful to you, I would be very honored."
This information is indeed valuable to Hua Mi.
And he was willing to look for it.
The flower essence among the dwarves has special powers of healing. This is further proof that the flower that gave birth to her must contain some rare magical element.
It’s not that far away anyway.
The dwarves drove the pig cart to Blackstone Town in less than five days.
Then he would start from Blackstone Town and ride Lu Fei to reach his destination in half a day.
As for how to find the target when you get there.
Of course, look for it with your eyes.
He believed that with his sharp eyes, he could easily see through any magical effects.
But that’s a story for another day.
Now is the period of chaos, not a good time to travel.
Let’s wait until the period of chaos is over and Fengqiyue comes.
The chaotic period lasted less than a month from beginning to end, so he could still afford to wait.
During this time, I can farm, keep bees, and read at home with peace of mind. I am quite busy.
The colorful glazed flower field area will be renovated soon, and then the colorful glazed flowers can be cultivated.
In addition, he plans to use this time to cultivate new bee species.
There is still some "Hilya's version of the mutagen" left, which can almost be used by a bee colony.
Being idle, he decided to try his luck, maybe he could ship the goods.
