Isekai Taneuma

The people of the settlement have recovered thanks to the skins they brought back. Feng thought it would be better to stockpile medicine with the guild so that this would not happen in the future, and tried to extract its active ingredients.

Nevertheless, this is the depths of a remote forest. Without the facilities, we can't get all the chemicals we need. Then, in trouble, a lizard caravan happened to arrive, so he decided to talk about the situation and arrange a set. The merchant, Gekko, did not forget to thank him for his last request and, despite being in the opposite direction to the caravan route, he dispatched people and quickly assembled them.

An alkaloid is basically a poison, a plant's defense function. Plants don't move, so there's hardly any way to protect themselves from predators like insects. Therefore, there are things that deliberately poison the body so that it cannot be eaten by predators.

For example, if you look at the landscape photos of the step zone, there are rounded silhouette grasses all over the place that have been cut like bonsai plants, but that's not how they were originally shaped, and that's how herbivores predate to avoid poisonous parts. Toxic plants thus protect their growth points and survive in the grasslands after their competitors' plants are consumed.

When you break the stem of the tampon, the white emulsion will melt out from inside, but it is a natural rubber, and when the aphid tries to eat, it sticks to the mouth and cannot be eaten any more. But humans are big, so they can't eat. As such, plants use all kinds of ingenuity to protect themselves from certain predators.

Thus, the alkaloids that plants accumulate in the body are essentially insoluble in water. Because the water circulates in the plant, and if it dissolves, it will die because of its own poison.

Alkaloids are also nitrogen-containing chemicals, most often alkaline (basic). Therefore, although it is not soluble in water, it is soluble in acid.

What's interesting is that the salt that the alkaloid gets by reacting with the acid dissolves in water. Therefore, in order to extract alkaloids, you can first dissolve them in acid to make salts, dissolve them in organic solvents such as water, alcohol, and ether, and then distill them to obtain crystals.

The quinine thus produced by Feng was also distributed through Lizard caravans to Alliance garrisons around the world. The forest dwellers who had suffered from the mysterious fever were greatly thanked for being able to deal with it through the Alliance in the future.

In addition, there was the dedicated care of Mary and Leonardo, and now the Feng people gained more than a certain amount of trust from the villagers.

I wonder... the change came soon in visible form.

And it was also the beginning of the end.

A few days had passed since Feng's return, and the villagers who had suffered from fever were also showing signs of recovery. However, quinine, a malaria medicine, had side effects and should not have been given to pregnant women.

After all, there were pregnant women among the sick, as long as they had time, because it was a settlement where they only had sex. However, since Feng is not a doctor, she gave the medicine to such a pregnant woman even though she didn't know it. When she realized it, Mary, who got along while nursing at a later festival, was worried about her prognosis.

Fortunately, thanks to the medicine, the pregnant woman has recovered well and is now living a new life. But I don't know about the baby in my stomach. It seems that the labor pain has just begun in the morning, but I wonder if you will be born safely....

While surrounding the hearth that day, Mary was always concerned about it.

"He said he would call me when he was about to be born. It's funny that I can't do anything for you."

Do werewolves have labor pain too? Maybe it's because it's a bipedal walk. "

…… Are there any other animals?

"It seems painful, but it's not as painful as human beings. Whether it's constipation or suffering during childbirth, it's because humans walk on two legs."

"I see... are you all right?

And that was when the three of them were continuing that conversation.

An elder came to Feng's house. By this time, Feng and his neighbors had become accustomed to the rude gaze of the neighborhood, so at first I didn't realize that they would be the neighbors who came to watch the meal as usual. They finally noticed the visitors because they were appealing hard, like, uhh, coughing up their guts.

Feng responded in surprise. It is the first time that an elder has come all the way home. When he gave the elder home, he looked at the hot pot that was boiling in the hearth as he rarely saw it.

"It's a spider. I came to thank you today. I appreciate it."

Suddenly, I'm sure you're saying that you've taken medicine. That's how Feng received it.

"No, no, of course I live in a village. But I'm really glad you're doing well, Elder. At that time, I thought maybe it would just go like this, so I cooled my liver down.

"I'm not that old yet."

The elder showed a slightly fluffy expression, but immediately calmed his attitude and then barely put his hand into a drawstring bag with some age.

Whatever it was, the old man's hand, which had been taken out of the bag, was holding a bright, dry mushroom.

This is the mushroom that the elders used to eat during the ritual of the Divine Spirit. He gave it to Feng.

"You saved the village. So I'll split the mushrooms."

"Are you sure?!

"I really can't, but it's fine."

Feng grabbed the proposed mushroom with a trembling hand.

It was a truly magical mushroom. I was surprised at that time, but I think I'm seeing a mushroom shining so brightly in front of me that my eyes are about to collapse. I don't think it belongs in this world. It was as dazzling as holding a naked light bulb.

Yet others don't seem to see the light. Jeanne and Mary are staring at what makes Feng so dazzled that she can't face it. If Feng did that, he would be blind, but it would have no effect on them at all.

In other words, this is an illusion that Feng's skills are showing. If that's the case, the story is quick. Feng quickly looked at the mushrooms in an attempt to find out the ingredients....

"... that?

Normally, Feng's Skill Museum Atlas (Library) was activated, and its name and ingredients were supposed to be displayed unevenly. However, only this time will the skill be activated.

Maybe it's a plant that contains an alkaloid that activates a skill? I thought so, but then it can't be seen to shine from the beginning. Like Jeanne and the others, it just looks like a mushroom with no freaks.

I don't know what Feng's skill is, is it an unknown mushroom? In the first place, I don't know what kind of database this museum atlas skill refers to, so this may happen....

The elder continued to say that Feng was holding a mushroom and twisting his neck.

"I'll split the mushrooms. But mushrooms are only available to village shamans. So you do the shaman, too."

"To...?

"Drink it and the Spirit will answer. You let everyone in the village hear the word of the Spirit. People listen to that."

"... uh, I mean... you want me to perform the ritual of descending spirits like an elder?

"Yes, it is."

In short, he wants to say: Eat that shiny mushroom in Phoenix and say "rali"... and eat this mushroom that Phoenix doesn't know its ingredients, and listen to the voice of the Spirit...

Feng swallowed the cockroach and the saliva. From previous experience, there is no doubt that the amount of light and the amount of alkaloids are proportional. This means it contains a lot of poison. Anyway, it's totally out.

"No, no, no! You can't, can you? Oh, no. I don't know anything about shamanism, do I? Husband!?"

When Feng answered strangely, the elder tilted his neck with a strange look.

"It's okay. Drink it and you'll see."

That said, as usual, I pushed the mushroom with a smile.

It was Feng who persistently sought mushrooms after such a disgusting elder. You wanted my mushroom from that elder, didn't you? I can't say I don't need it anymore.

When Feng was in trouble because he couldn't retreat, the elder received the silence positively, probably looking towards the village square and shouting,

"Guys, listen up! Tonight, Tsukumo will perform the ritual of descent! Don't miss the conversation between the heroes who saved the village and the spirits!

In the voice of the elders, the people of the settlement came together to say what it was. They found Feng holding a mushroom while the elder slapped him in the back.

"This is going to be fun." "I'm looking forward to it." "The whole family will come to hear it." "It's a banquet. It's a banquet.

Feng finally had to prepare himself before the villagers started making noise like a fait accompli. Mushrooms still shine like the sun.

It's okay... I don't think he's gonna die... but when he swallowed Gokuri and Tsuba, he lost his sight of the glare.

When Feng became the elder and learned that Feng performed the ritual of the Divine Spirit, the villagers, who only had sex and entertainment, gathered in the square before it was too late. Normally, they are blind at every event, just listening in the house.

Nevertheless, Feng is not waiting for Tochi, and if he is simply looking forward to it, he will not be able to be dazzled. Drinking alcohol here and there, Feng stood on the stage of the square to be pushed by the elders, stirring up the villagers who were already ready.

The children are looking up at him with interest. It seemed that Leonardo was wandering at the entrance to the square. Like Mary, I came to check on the pregnant woman's prognosis, and she got caught up in some weird noise and couldn't go home. While being recommended by the villagers, he sat in the offered chair and looked at Phoenix with a look on his face. When I looked around my mouth, I realized that I couldn't read lips, but I was caught up in something else...

When the sun went down and the magic time came, people's faces were shaded and could no longer be distinguished. Buhibuhi and livestock pigs are ringing in the pig barn. Do you think the yakiniku party will start again? Feng looked down at the crowd of stupid people under the stage and felt a little pressure on the boulder.

Seriously, in this crowd loop, I wonder if Lari is okay. I'm not proud of it, but I hardly remember when I was slapping myself with an MP potion. I don't know what I can do.

However, I could not say that I would not do it again before the children who looked up interestingly or the elders who gave it to me because they thought it was good. Feng was prepared, exposed to intense pressure, and threw a shiny mushroom into his mouth.

It never happened at first.

The feeling of eating was either dried shiitake mushrooms or dried mushrooms with good taste. The taste increases as it contains saliva. I don't know, maybe you can mix it with the juice and get some soup. I wonder if it'll turn into a shiny pot... and I could afford to think about that.

However, after swallowing it for a while, nothing has changed in the body, so now there is a rush in another sense.

Is that crazy? By now, I'm supposed to be nervous, but nothing has changed. Could this be normal? Because of the light intensity, I thought it must be a bad idea, but when I thought about it, the elder didn't say a word about it.

It may also be relevant that Feng is not a werewolf. Maybe it feels like a cat again, and there is a possibility that it is a mushroom that works for werewolves but not for humans. If so, what should I do?

Under the stage, the village children looked up at him with sparkling eyes as usual. I can't pretend to betray their expectations anymore. Then this time, Feng's honor will fall to the earth. The only way to do this is to make up the right story and make a rush.....

That's when I thought about it.

Feng felt the illusion of his body falling back and forth. I thought it was an illusion because it resembled what it felt like to be a geek. But that's not the usual ratio.

Feng's sight swayed. When it was ravelling in the MP potion, it was at best as pleasant as swaying on a canoe, but now it was shaking in an unusual way like a sailboat that had encountered a storm on the high seas. Somehow, it feels like your body is flying around in meters. However, when I looked around, it seemed that no one noticed the change in Feng. Perhaps this is not the actual shaking of his body. It must be only in his head that he is shaking.

Shit... I wonder if this is what we call a bud trip.

Instead of feeling good, Feng was dominated by an intense discomfort that tore his body apart. I can't afford to think about things. I just cling to the shipwreck mast and I'm like a sailor just waiting for the storm to pass.

When I tried to get help from the elder who was right next to me, I heard a voice that didn't make a sound. The children laugh at how strange the voice was. The laughter echoed in my head and made me feel like I had been dropped by an atomic bomb.

The shaking of the body gradually increased, and at last the surrounding scenery turned glum, like the attraction of the high-speed rotating amusement park. I can't tell who's there anymore. He could hardly ask for help, nor could he speak out.

And at that time.

In the corner of his high-speed rotating vision, he felt a strange discomfort and stared desperately at you. Then, in the rotating field of view, there was only one place that was stationary and visible from the surrounding area. For example, it feels like watching the next train running side-by-side from the windows of the running train. And it was strangely over-focused, and I didn't think it belonged in the world.

I wonder, what is this? If you focus desperately on your awareness, which is likely to be disturbed by a thousand distractions, you can see Leonardo in there. No, it wasn't about Leonardo, it was about the space behind it. There's some weird, blurry doll-like space out there, and it's the only thing that clearly floats, unlike the surrounding sights.

It was uncomfortable. For example, I feel such a discomfort that someone with optical camouflage on the side of the road without any eccentricity is hiding.

There was someone there... when I thought about it, as if the scales fell from Feng's eyes, the berries and veils peeled off and people appeared in that empty space.

He was a strangely present man. With a no-feature face and a thin smile, I couldn't tell where I was looking, staring at the point where there was nothing in the air. Is it the so-called alkyx mile? is wearing an orange rag, holding a stick-like stick and lowering a large bowl from his neck.

The appearance of standing was like a dead tree, and even reading the scriptures in the trail of a large city, no one would care, it was like such a basketball boy. That makes you feel strangely present.

When I wondered why, I noticed that his outline was blurry. If you look closely, the man's contour lines are blurred endlessly, creating one contour. For example, there are countless ellipses overlapping, and a single circle is emerging.

I thought Feng was enough. The strange feeling of being is that infinite he can be seen folding up in that space. The silly contours make things float there that aren't there. I mean, he's infinite, but he's not there.

Among the flowing scenery, such strange images emerge there. What the hell is this? When I thought, the man's gaze caught Phoenix's eye so that he could focus on the wipe.

At the moment, I felt my heart beating suddenly. Your heart and doc are sweating from your forehead and cheeks as you bell early. Shot in the man's gaze, Feng was thrown into an unspeakable mood of fear and relief, of grief and joy, of comfort with pain.

I wonder... what this guy is...

At that time, Feng heard a strange voice that echoed directly into his head. Gateau Gateau Hara Gateau, Harasou Gateau Bogie Sowaker.

It was the past. A flood of sounds like thousands of monks chanting one passage at a time is spreading in his head. Gateau Gateau Hara Gateau, Harasou Gateau Bogie Sowaker.

Anyway, Feng, who thought it was bad, somehow tried to get away from him and stood up. But when I thought about it, it was as if someone had taken control of his body.

He cried out to Leonardo for help and a voiceless voice. However, he did not reply. Instead, a strange man standing behind him delivered a voice that echoed directly into his head.

Thousands of folded voices echo through Feng's head. Even if you don't want to block your ears, your body won't move, and even if you do, you won't be able to resist the voices that are imprinted directly into your brain.

Feng no longer forgot to resist, and became in the mood of the carp on the cutting board, and saw the man's eyes that appeared before his eyes. Then the man stared at Feng's eyes. Gateau Gateau Hara Gateau, Harasou Gateau Bogie Sowaker.

The voice you hear is getting louder and louder. The rapidly rotating world was mixed up, gradually losing its color and finally turning into just black.

Feng was deprived of his body's freedom in such a empty space, he was not allowed to speak, and he simply confronted the man in front of him.

How did this happen? When I thought so, I remembered the words of the elders.

Hear the voice of the Spirit. Deliver the word.

The moment I remember it. His consciousness broke down as if he had even turned off the TV.
