Little Lord

Chapter 26 Chapter 26

For Luke and his companions, it was like falling into a long and painful dream.

They struggled desperately inside, but could only allow their bodies and souls to be eroded bit by bit.

If this continues, they will lose their bodies and selves forever.

Everyone felt an irrepressible panic.

What should I do? What should I do?
The tremendous fear and physical suffering almost made them collapse.

until...

A warm aroma penetrated their nostrils.

The inexplicably restless blood in their bodies actually slowly calmed down, and the thing that was causing trouble in their blood gradually became docile, as if it had become a being that could be tamed by them.

Luke, who was closest to the source of the fragrance, felt a burst of ecstasy, and his stomach began to move unconsciously.

Gulu!

The loud voice broke the silence in the room.

Howell, holding the steamer in his hand, was also delighted.

There really was a reaction.

This kind of food that he had never seen before actually had the effect of suppressing the "blue fog".

Even though it is currently unable to completely eliminate the "blue mist" in their bodies, at least the situation will not get worse, and they may have enough time to find a way to get rid of the remaining poison in their bodies.

Howell thought for a long time in front of the bed, and finally decided to trust old Ward, who saved their lives in the first place, and went to discuss with old Ward about further treatment for Luke and the others.

And his winged horse might be able to alleviate the toxicity by inhaling the smell first.

Old Ward originally thought that Howell was just worried about his comrades, but he didn't expect Howell to make such a discovery.

"Before this, many of the foods that His Highness provided to the Knights' Camp also had different beneficial effects." Old Ward said, "But there has never been any food that can detoxify."

He finished speaking, then remembered that none of them had ever been poisoned, so naturally no one could feel the detoxification benefits that the food might contain.

Hoville said: "The Royal College of Physicians has researched this type of medicine and food, but currently none of them are effective against 'blue fog', so it is said to be highly toxic with no antidote."

Now I finally see hope.

Old Ward said, "I'll have someone bring the winged horse over here first, and then have someone send a few baskets of steamed buns over. If your comrades can wake up, they'll need to eat."

Hoville said: "Thank you for your hard work during this period."

Old Ward smiled and said, "You were plotted against by your own people, right?"

So when he discovered that there was a way to suppress the toxicity of "Blue Mist", Howell's first reaction was to conceal it.

This was totally out of character for Höveler.

All we can say is that before this, Howell had been attacked by his own people.

"After all these years, they haven't changed at all."

Old Ward's smile was full of mockery.

Many rats in the sewers always feel that once the people above have been pulled down, it is their turn to move up.

I just wonder if those in power would dare to let such a greedy guy replace Howell's original position?

Even if Howell loses his future, the person who took action against him will not gain any benefit.

I'm just afraid that someone is hiding behind the scenes and reaping the benefits.

After the fierce fight between the Sixth Princess and the Seventh Princess, who benefited from it?
Such open and covert fighting is annoying just thinking about it.

Ward Sr. said, "If the toxicity in your body could really be controlled, what would you do?"

Hoville said, "I have to discuss this with Luke and the others first."

Personally, he was inclined to stay in Woye Province. On the one hand, he could avoid the ups and downs of the imperial capital, and on the other hand, he could repay Jiang Zhuozhuo for saving him.

It’s just that he can make this choice himself, but he cannot make the choice for Luke and the others without authorization.

Old Ward nodded and used the somewhat ridiculous "bun therapy" on the other four unconscious knights and the winged horse.

……

Jiang Zhuozhuo enjoyed a bunch of delicious fried buns at noon. He felt so lazy that he lay in the sun, rolling to the left, then to the right, until he became more and more drowsy.

Anna, the maid, read out the schedule to her: "Your Highness has to attend the Continental General Studies class in the afternoon, so you can't take such a long nap."

"After class, I want to go check out the cultivation of mushrooms and winter vegetables. I agreed to bring ten kitchen workers over to pick the vegetables. Helana has already made arrangements."

Last time Jiang Zhuozhuo was going to see the mushrooms she had been longing for, she was delayed because she picked up a few wounded people on the way.

Moji's family was there concentrating on growing winter vegetables and cultivating mushrooms for her. When they learned that Jiang Zhuozhuo was very concerned about the progress of the planting, they reported to the castle as soon as they confirmed that the mushrooms and vegetables were edible.

After listening to this, the little round bird tilted its head, lay down on its own special mat and began to take what it thought was a very short nap.

After the general education class, the little round bird couldn't wait to fly out, summoned a group of kitchen workers, and happily set off towards the forest.

She also brought a few hot steamed buns and her favorite fried buns and oil-fried steamed buns - the former was for the two old ladies, and the latter was for herself to eat on the way back and forth.

People need to occasionally consume some foods that are unhealthy for the body in order to maintain their mental health!

Jiang Zhuozhuo arrived at her destination safely and soon saw the Moji family coming out to greet them.

She shared with them all the delicious food she had brought with her, and since she wasn't too hungry yet, she followed Old Lady Fay to see the mushrooms that had already grown.

There are only two kinds of edible fungi that Mrs. Fay is confident of cultivating at this time of the season.

One type looks ordinary and you can only tell at a glance that it is a mushroom with an average taste. A few of them can be found at the bottom of various trees all year round, but it is easy to be confused with another type of highly poisonous mushroom, so non-professionals should never pick them.

The advantage of this kind of mushroom is that it is very easy to grow and a large patch of it can be cultivated easily. It is safer to eat those that are artificially cultivated.

There is another special one, it is... red umbrella with white stem, but its toxicity is very low. Even if it is not cooked, it is only slightly hallucinogenic. If it is cooked, there is no problem at all. All it has is that smooth and tender taste and unique mushroom aroma!
It is the type that is edible and easy to identify.

Jiang Zhuozhuo felt that his cognition had been overturned.

The red umbrellas and white stems here are actually edible! Also, this is uncooked and has hallucinogenic properties. Don’t tell too many people about it. You’ll never guess how crazy some people can be in pursuit of excitement:)

Jiang Zhuozhuo learned from his own unreliable news (gossip) channels that many artists would go crazy and seek help from "external forces" to create when they run out of inspiration.

Her high school art teacher had a lot to say about this phenomenon. Every time he mentioned these things, he would think back to the past and say that he returned to his hometown to become a teacher because he didn't want to go along with the corrupt crowd. Otherwise, he would have been a famous contemporary painting giant!
Jiang Zhuozhuo thought that these words were full of self-boasting from a middle-aged man, but they did contain a bit of truth.

Generally speaking, one cannot become a famous artist without some mental problems.

So they have to protect the red umbrella and not let crazy people use it to do bad things!

She'll eat them all!
Jiang Zhuozhuo excitedly picked a bunch of red umbrellas and white poles (she gave them names on the spot) before going to see the winter vegetable planting base that Moji was in charge of.

The results here were also remarkable. Jiang Zhuozhuo went in for a walk and picked up a lot of juicy vegetables with the mushrooms.

Most children don’t like this touch of green on the dining table, but when they grow up, they always feel that something is missing in the meal if they don’t eat a few bites of it.

This is the same from south to north.

Even in the northern provinces where green vegetables were hard to find in the past, people would find ways to store cabbage in their home cellars by the truckload, hoping that this relatively durable winter vegetable would accompany them through the long winter.

After coming here, Jiang Zhuozhuo had never seen green vegetables before. Now, seeing the green everywhere in the planting base, he suddenly became greedy.

She felt like eating this and that, and excitedly asked someone to pick a bunch of them: some suitable for frying, some suitable for boiling, some suitable for making dumplings, and some suitable for making buns - everything was arranged clearly!

After all this picking, the green vegetables that Mogi had worked so hard to grow in the greenhouse were almost all sold out.

Even though Jiang Zhuozhuo was such a kind-hearted person, he still felt a little embarrassed when he saw the greenhouse that he had ruined.

Mo Ji saw what Jiang Zhuozhuo was thinking and smiled gently and shyly: "It just so happens that they are all picked. I can plant the second batch of vegetables now."

When Jiang Zhuozhuo heard this, all his guilt disappeared immediately and he happily led the kitchen workers (who were mainly responsible for carrying the vegetables) away.

Mo Ji, his mother and his aunt watched Jiang Zhuozhuo and his group leave before they shared the still steaming buns.

Even though it is not as soft as when it was just out of the pot, after chewing it carefully for a few times, I still feel that there are not many foods in the world that can compare with it.

……

Jiang Zhuozhuo returned to the castle and flew to Helana's shoulder to tell her about his various ideas.

I want to eat mushroom meat buns! Mushroom hot pot! And some mushroom wraps!

Look at these big vegetable leaves, they are very suitable for making glutinous rice dumplings!
Helana had to listen to her name the dishes for a long time, and had to take out a pen and paper to quickly make notes, so as not to miss Jiang Zhuozhuo's needs.

These days are both painful and happy!
When Jiang Zhuozhuo was almost done with his work, Anna came over and said that Maine wanted to see her for something.

Jiang Zhuozhuo was a little puzzled and flew directly to Maine's office.

I didn't expect that Maine was not the only one there.

And there was also Howell, whom he had just met this morning.

Could this person actually walk so far on his own?

What an amazing recovery ability!
Jiang Zhuozhuo landed on Maine's shoulder and asked curiously, "What happened?"

Huo Weiler stood up and thanked Jiang Zhuozhuo again.

"Thanks to Your Highness," Hoveler said, "Luke and the others have woken up - they are the other wounded people Your Highness rescued. My winged horse has also recovered a lot, all thanks to Your Highness."

Jiang Zhuozhuo looked confused.

Her contribution? What contribution did she make?
The little round bird quietly moved to Maine's ear and chirped softly -

What's going on? What's going on?

Hoville: "..."

As we all know, knights have good hearing, so whispering like this is useless.

Huo Weiler patiently told Jiang Zhuozhuo everything.

Jiang Zhuozhuo was shocked when he heard this.

what?
Can steamed buns detoxify?

Why didn't she know?
Jiang Zhuozhuo thought for a moment and his eyes lit up.

Does this detoxification cover all poisons, or does it only detoxify the "blue fog"?
If it can cure all poisons...

In the future, when they eat mushroom hotpot with steamed buns, doesn’t that mean they can even eat wild mushrooms?
As soon as Maine saw Jiang Zhuozhuo's shining eyes, she knew that she was not thinking well.

"Your Highness, you'd better put away the thoughts in your mind."

Maine couldn't help but warn.

The little round bird felt very aggrieved: "I didn't even tell you what I thought of, why do you want me to put it away!"

Maine said, "Then your highness, please tell me."

The little round bird excitedly shared his great idea.

Take a bite of bun and a bite of mushroom!

Yay, wild mushroom freedom!
Maine: “…”

She knew it would be like this.

Maine smiled and said, "Your Highness can put it away now."

Little round bird:.

Damn, isn't this a wonderful idea!
She thinks she's super smart, okay?
Hoville, who listened to the whole process: "…"

I don't know why, but I suddenly began to doubt whether my previous decision was unwise.
