??Chapter 38 Silver Leaf Grass
??A supply agreement for ghost grass was reached, and Samwell was in a good mood, and warmly invited Nora to stay for lunch, hoping to deepen their relationship.
??Nara didn't refuse. If she could find a strong backer for the Yakuza Tribe, of course she would not refuse.
??When the waiter Katu brought the food to the table, Nora took off her veil, revealing her delicate face.
??Although the youth is no longer there, the charm is still there.
?? No wonder he was able to fascinate the talents of the Seven Kingdoms in Harrenhal.
??Looking at Samwell's gaze, Nora smiled gently and explained:
?? "I usually wear a veil to avoid unnecessary trouble."
?? "Understandable." Samwell nodded with a smile.
??In this crimson mountain range that obeys the law of the jungle, a woman who is too beautiful will inevitably cause a lot of trouble.
??However, now that Nora takes the initiative to take off her veil, she is also expressing her trust in Samwell.
??Pointing to the plate in front of him, Samwell smiled and said, "This is the special lunch combination for the chief of the Blueskin tribe. How about the taste?"
"good."
??Although it is a "patriarch's set meal", it is not really rich, that is, some barbecue, wild vegetables, mushrooms, goat's milk, and a plate of weeds that Samwell doesn't know.
??Samwell first picked up the weed and stuffed it into his mouth—
??As a man who is determined to taste all the food in Westeros, he must choose to eat unfamiliar food.
??The taste is a bit bitter, and the throat is hot...
?? Just when Samwell was about to put this weed on his blacklist, he suddenly stopped.
??Because, there was movement on his attribute panel!
?? Strength increased by 0.01!
??Samwell was overjoyed, and quickly stuffed the other two weeds on the plate into his mouth.
?? Nora, who was provoked by the side, couldn't help wondering—this lord likes to eat grass so much?
??He bought ghost grass from himself, maybe it was also for eating...
??Seeing that the strength attribute increased again, Samwell hurriedly asked Katu beside him:
?? "What kind of grass is this?"
?? "My lord, this is silver leaf grass."
?? "Is there any more? Give me some more!"
"yes."
??At this time, Nora reminded:
?? "Master Caesar, you'd better not eat too much of this silver leaf grass."
"Oh why?"
?? "Because, I suspect it's poisonous."
?? "Toxic?" Samwell was slightly surprised, but then questioned, "The chief of the blue-skinned tribe still eats it every day?"
"It shouldn't be very toxic. It should be fine if you eat less, but if you eat too much, you may have problems. If you go to find out, you will know that this silver-leaf grass is a sacred object of the blue-skinned tribe. Only Only the leader can enjoy it, and occasionally some will be given to the clansmen who have done meritorious deeds.
??But the leaders who often eat this grass often don't live past the age of forty, and their spirits are also somewhat abnormal, and they may even lose control and go crazy. "
?? "Then they still like to eat this grass so much?"
??"Because this grass can cure some diseases and turn their skin blue, they think it is a gift from the gods."
?? Samwell frowned.
??The skin turns blue, the mind is abnormal, but it can cure some diseases...
?? It reminded him of some kind of substance.
??The next moment, he stood up abruptly and walked out quickly.
?? "Sorry, Mrs. Nora, I suddenly have something important to do, you have lunch first."
??Walking to the door, I ran into Katu who was delivering food.
??Samwell grabbed all the silver leaf grass brought by the other party, stuffed it into his mouth, and asked:
?? "Where does this silver leaf grass grow?"
??Katu was stunned for a moment, then said:
?? "It's in the innermost part of the camp, and there's a small cave there."
?? "Find ten Reach soldiers and meet me in the cave, bring your shovels."
?? "Yes, my lord."
?? Came to the cave that Kathu mentioned, and Samwell saw the silver leaf grass here.
??In the slightly dim cave, their leaves shone with a silvery white shimmer.
??After listening to Mrs. Nora's story, Samwell immediately realized that the leaders of these blue-skinned tribes were probably suffering from chronic silver poisoning!
??Silver has a bactericidal effect, so it can treat some infections, but if you eat too much, it will cause heavy metal poisoning, and it will also turn people's skin and even blood blue.
?? But the question is, how can these silver leaf grasses contain metallic silver?
??Samwell guessed that there might be a silver mine buried under the silver leaf grass!
??That's why silver is enriched in this kind of grass, which has caused the effect of chronic argyria among the blue-skinned tribesmen.
?? But if this is the case, then the substance that increases one's strength attribute is the silver leaf grass itself? Or the silver enriched in it?
??Thinking of another substance that can increase the strength attribute—goldtail shrimp, Samwell suddenly had a bold guess.
?? At this time, Katu had brought the soldiers over.
?? "This is the place, first pull out the silver leaf grass, and then dig deep for me!"
"yes!"
??The soldiers responded, and then went into the hole to dig.
??Samwell stood outside, eating the silver leaf grass pulled out by the soldiers, while waiting patiently.
??The movement here has attracted the attention of the savages, especially the savages from the original blue-skinned tribe.
??In this cave grows the silver-leaf grass that they regard as a gift from the gods, so they are often regarded as a holy place.
?? But now, the people of the Reach don't know what to do in their holy places.
?? This made them both nervous and at a loss.
?? Of course, no one dared to stand up and protest.
??After all, the things in this cave have always been exclusive to the leader of the blue-skin tribe. Now that Samwell has conquered them, the cave is of course his.
?? Time passed little by little, and Samwell stuffed the silver leaf grass into his mouth numbly. From the bitterness at the beginning, until now, he couldn't taste the taste at all.
?? Moreover, like golden tail shrimp, if you eat too much silver leaf grass, the effect will be reduced.
??However, even so, after eating hundreds of silver-leaf grasses, Samwell's strength attribute also rose rapidly, and finally reached 2.13!
?? At this time, his body's tolerance to silver leaf grass has become very high, and in the end he needs to eat five plants to increase his strength by 0.01.
??Samwell burped, his mouth full of bitter grassy taste.
?? I can't eat anymore.
?? Moreover, there is not much silver leaf grass left.
?? Always save some seeds for seeds, otherwise the people of the blue-skinned tribe may cause trouble if they know that their tribal sacred objects are extinct.
??At this time, Nora had finished her lunch and came to bid farewell with her captured clansmen.
?? "Okay, Mrs. Nora, I wish you a smooth journey. In addition, I also hope that you can find the Ghost Grass as soon as possible."
??Nara looked at Samwell's silver-green teeth stained by grass juice, and wanted to say something to remonstrate, but hesitated for a while but didn't say it, and finally just said goodbye politely.
??Not long after the Crows left, a soldier ran out and said to Samwell:
?? "My lord, we dug up some ore below."
??Samwell hurried into the cave, and sure enough, he saw some lead gray crystal ores with metallic luster in a large pit.
??Is this a silver mine?
??Samwell was a little uncertain, the color didn't seem right.
??However, considering that this may not be sterling silver, this is why the color and appearance appear.
??Samwell turned his head and told the soldiers:
?? "Go to Yingzui Island and invite Wei Duo and Buso over here. Also, send someone to seal off this cave, and no one will come near it without my order!"
"yes!"
