Chapter 1275 Blood Mead
Medea quietly told about Gray Bird's life experience, her tone revealing sympathy from the bottom of her heart.
After listening to her story, Qiao An felt strangely uncomfortable.
"Medea, since Gray Bird is an experimental subject that mind flayers attach great importance to, why did you let her leave Odis and live a free life here?"
"That's because the original owner of Gray Bird and its people, a mind flayer lord living in Odis, was involved in the war between Odis and the 'Beholder's Hive City' many years ago, and was killed by a demon eye The hand of the mage."
"After the death of the mind flayer lord, the slaves under his command, including the stone-blind barbarians, automatically got rid of the spiritual restraints imposed on them by the master before his death, and fled one after another."
"The gray bird's family, one of the refugees who escaped from the mind flayer city of Odes, got my protection and settled down in the Temple of Silence ever since."
"It is said that the mind flayers have not forgotten these escaped slaves, and have been searching for their whereabouts for many years. Gray Bird and her people do not want to endure the vicious torture of the mind flayers, so they have not dared to stay away from the abyss all these years , for fear of being taken back to Odes again."
"I can't explain these things in one or two sentences. It's not good to talk about them in front of Gray Bird. When we have free time, let's talk in private."
Joan nodded, pointed at the big flytrap that was severely injured by the gray bird's kick, and asked Medea: "What are you going to do with this guy? If it's troublesome, I'll throw it back into the swamp. "
Medea giggled, pretending to be surprised and asked, "Isn't this big Flytrap a special gift from you?"
Joan was taken aback, and suddenly realized that he should bring a gift to the host when he was a guest, and he hadn't thought of this before, it was really rude.
Seeing his embarrassed face, Medea finally grinned.
"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously!"
"I've seen it for a long time. You are a little nerd who doesn't understand the world. Don't talk about that set of politeness between us. As for this big flytrap, just plant it here. I just need to collect big flytrap. The honeydew of the fly grass is used to brew a kind of wine."
"What wine?" Joan couldn't help asking curiously.
"It's a recipe I learned from an ancient book called 'Blood Mead'. It is said that this recipe originated in ancient times, when the giants and the Aesirs were fighting for hegemony."
Medea put away her smile and looked extremely solemn.
"Blood mead has a lot of ingredients, and the honey juice of the Venus Venus flytrap is the easiest to obtain. Most of the ingredients are not only rare, but even extinct long ago. I have to leave the world of Vales and go to the outer layer Looking for planes..."
"What's the use of blood mead with such hard-to-find ingredients?" Qiao An asked in surprise, "If it's just a good wine, no matter how delicious it is, it's not worth the trouble."
"I don't know how the blood mead tastes. However, it is said that those who drink this magical medicinal wine for the first time will have permanent improvements in the three spiritual attributes!"
Medea said happily.
Joan couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.
Drugs or drinks that can permanently increase attributes are rare treasures with inestimable value. For example, the "Wisdom Spring" he drank deep in the root of the ancient mythical tree "Old White", which increased his intelligence attribute by five points.
If "Blood Mead" is really like what Medea said, it can simultaneously improve the three spiritual attributes of intelligence, perception and charm, even if each attribute is only improved a little, it is also a quasi-legendary magic potion.
"Joan, if you're interested in the recipe for blood mead, I can make a copy for you." Medea said.
Joan looked at her in surprise, unable to believe the generosity of the Gorgon.
Medea saw his thoughts, smiled wryly and shrugged.
"You will know when you see the formula. If I rely on my own strength, it is impossible to gather half of the materials in this life. If you are willing to help, in the lifetime of the two of us, there may be so... ten percent of the ingredients." With one hope, I successfully gathered all the ingredients to brew blood mead."
"It's really frustrating to hear you say that!"
"Ha! Sorry, it's all my fault for being too honest."
At this time, the gray bird came over, and according to Medea's instructions, uprooted the big flytrap, carried it on its shoulders, and walked straight forward.
Medea waved her hand and let the group of stone-blind barbarian guards continue to patrol, and took Joan and Ruby to follow Gray Bird.
The four of them walked not far in the wetlands, and there was a raised island in front of them. There were rocky hills on the island. There were both natural caves and traces of man-made excavations. It was the "Silent Palace" where Medea lived in seclusion. ".
There are some large fungi and light-averse plants growing around the island. The well-maintained underground garden reminds Joan of the "Garden Township" in the blood tundra. Although the two places are hundreds of miles apart, they have a similar peaceful atmosphere.
Gray Bird placed the big flytrap in the wetland near the island, and there were no less than ten big flytraps planted nearby, which were also transplanted from other places, specially for Medea to collect honey juice.
Although the intelligence of the giant Flytraps is so low that it is almost zero, it has a keen survival instinct. It seems to have sensed its situation, gave up the idea of escaping, and obediently took root in this new home.
Joan followed Medea to the island, and saw many stone statues in different poses outside the cave door.
Out of curiosity, Joan slowed down to observe the stone statues, and was first surprised by the exquisite carvings and vivid details. In a flash, he realized that these stone statues were not real sculptures, but "artworks" created by Medea using the "petrified gaze" using living flesh and blood as materials.
All the sculptures showed a terrified look, which shows how they were turned into stone statues under the circumstances.
There are no fewer than fifty stone statues displayed outside the door of the Hall of Silence, including seven dwarves, nine subterranean gnomes, and the rest are half-human, half-snake monsters. The latter especially aroused Joan's curiosity.
Judging from the shape of the sculpture, this half-human, half-snake creature can be divided into two categories.
One of them has a human-like body and limbs, except that a layer of delicate scales is attached to the surface of the skin, but a flat spoon-shaped head rests on its neck, like an enlarged cobra head. In some statues with their mouths open, the poisonous fangs and forked serpent letters at the corners of their mouths can be vaguely seen.
There is also a kind of stone statue, which not only has a head like a snake, but also transforms into a round and slender snake body below the waist. Only the middle torso and arms maintain a humanoid form.
It is obvious that the second type of stone statue shows more serpentine features than the first type of stone statue.
