Chapter 53: Herb Decoction

Li Nuo sat down by the bed and stared at Jack.
"Say it again."
　　Jack repeated: "I know anyone in the town who knows about the herb decoction."
　　 Hearing this repeated answer, Li Nuo was stunned at first, followed by a huge surprise.
　　 Green Grass Decoction is a mutant potion for the Demon Hunter. If you don't guess wrong, this thing can greatly enhance the player's abilities. Just like the two Doss who met in the tavern, they looked for this thing to strengthen themselves.
　　 "But, I have a condition!" Jack stared at Li Nuo's eyes, took a heavy breath, strengthened himself with courage.
　　 "Teach me the skills of fighting! Otherwise I won't tell you!"
　　Combat skills? Li Nuo had doubts in his mind, but immediately thought that it should be this kid who saw himself grabbing the flying dart and mistakenly thought that he was a skilled pervert.
　　 Li Nuo lowered his body and leaned towards Jack. As the eyes that looked at pork neck meat during the day were still vivid, Jack subconsciously moved a few centimeters back.
　　 "Boy, are you afraid that I will treat you as a pig neck?" Li Nuo said.
　　 Jack swallowed: "Fear! But I want to be a better hunter than my father. No, I want to be a fighter!"
　　 "When I grow up, I want to protect my father and mother, so I have to become stronger and stronger than those robbers."
　　 Li Nuo raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, looked at the little ghost in front of him, the look of the ghost horse spirit, and understood what equivalent exchange was. He was a bit bearish but understandable.
　　 "Tomorrow morning I will teach you some basic training." Li Nuo said.
　　 Jack's little eyebrows frowned: "I want to learn fighting skills."
　　 Li Nuo shrugged, and continued to flicker: "But you have to lay the foundation of the battle first."
　　Jack lowered his head slightly, looking disappointed, and sighed softly.
　　 "There is a lady in the town. Her late husband was an adventurer. I like to listen to the lady tell stories about her husband's life."
"I heard her say that her husband's last adventure was to go to a place called Kyle Morhan, and brought back a lot of books and a potion. After drinking the potion, her husband died. He never opened his eyes again, it was poisoned to death. Madam said that the medicine was called green grass decoction."
After listening to Jack’s explanation, Li Nuo can be basically convinced that this information should be true, because that person had been to the remains of the Demon Hunter, Kyle Mohan, drank the medicine brought from there, and died. For ordinary people, it is poison.
　　If you want to become a witcher, you must go through a test called the witcher's trial, and the most important link is the grass trial.
　　 In the trial of green grass, young children need to drink alchemy medicine called grass decoction. This medicine is poison for ordinary people. This medicine will cause major changes in the body and physiological structure.
　　Only by successfully surviving in the trial of grass, can he become a real demon hunter.
　　 But this is an extremely painful process, and its survival rate is said to be only three out of ten.
　　 For example, in the Witch Hunter novel that Li Nuo has read, there is such a description:
　　 "On the third day, all the other children died except for a little boy who had just turned ten years old. He was agitated by the sudden madness, and then fell into a deep coma.
　　 His eyes are dull, his hands are constantly grasping the clothes, or waving in the air, as if to grab a quill. His breathing became thicker and heavier; cold sweats began to occur on his body, and his skin became wet and sticky with a foul smell. Then another medicine was infused into the boy's blood vessel, and he had a seizure.
　　 The symptoms that followed this time were nosebleeds, severe coughing, and finally turned into vomiting, until the boy collapsed completely and became motionless. His symptoms did not relieve for the next two days. The little boy’s skin was soaked in sweat, then it gradually dried out and started to get hot. The pulse became intermittent, but maintained its normal intensity. He did not wake up, nor scream.
　　 Finally, on the seventh day, the little boy finally woke up.
　　 When he opened his eyes, his eyes were like snakes..."
　　 It seems that the unlucky ghost wants to become a demon hunter... Li Nuo thought, and asked: "What is the name of the lady you are talking about?"
　　 "Mrs. Curie."
　　【The branch mission has been opened】
　　【Looking for Herb Decoction】
　　【Experience: 500】
　　[Reward: Random]
　　 Li Nuo's expression changed slightly. The main line has not yet arrived, and the branch line has been opened first.
He understood the way of accepting the branch in this world, interacting with npc or actively exploring, but Li Nuo could not analyze whether Doss and his companions also accepted this task, if they are also working on this branch, it is again How did it trigger.
　　 With questions, Li Nuo asked: "Jack, besides telling me, have you mentioned it to others?"
　　Jack shook his head: "I only talked about this to Tommy who lives outside the town. If I hadn't heard the conversation between you and father, I would have forgotten about it."
　　Tommy... Since Jack only told himself, it means that Doss may have learned of it from that Tommy.
　　 "Does Tommy also know that Madame Curie said it?" Li Nuo asked.
"Um..." Jack frowned and scratched his head: "I haven't said that, Tommy doesn't know it, because his brain is so bad that he can't even remember my name. Everyone calls him a fool. But only I will play with him, because my father told me not to bully the weak, but to help them."
After 　　 finished speaking, Jack straightened his chest gently.
　　 It turns out that your friend is mentally handicapped. Li Nuo suddenly felt that Jack was a little cute.
　　 No wonder those two guys came to ask themselves about the herb decoction. If they knew the clue about Madame Curie from the beginning, there was no need to go to town to ask others.
　　 It seems that they have met Tommy, and they know this branch by accident, Li Nuo thought...
　　 Jack interrupted Li Nuo who was thinking.
　　 "That's OK, tomorrow morning, you will teach me how to start training!"
　　 "Hmm." Li Nuo nodded in response, then looked at Jack and asked, "How old are you?"
　　 "At the age of twelve, my father said that this is the age to become strong."
　　 Li Nuo looked at Jack thoughtfully. Now that he is twelve years old, he can accept one hundred push-ups, one hundred sit-ups, one hundred squats and ten kilometers running every day.
　　 I will use this method to fool him tomorrow, by the way, let's see how tired this kid is.
　　 In order to show that Li Nuo looked a bit like looking at the food, Jack subconsciously thought that he was treated as a pork neck again, so he immediately left the room.
　　 Li Nuo lay back on the bed and began to think about tomorrow's itinerary. He planned to leave for Novigrad tomorrow morning, but now the plan has to change.
　　 "Tomorrow I must go to visit Madame Curie, and then see if I can stay for one more day..."
　　……
　　 Early the next morning, Li Nuo was awakened by the noise outside the house, and slowly sat up with sleepy eyes.
　　 "Demolition...what are you tossing about?"
　　 Li Nuo stretched while complaining. Sleeping on this hard bed made him feel very uncomfortable.
　　 Just then, the sound of the system appeared...
　　【I have spent the day safely, the main mission is triggered】
　　【Kill the Shadow Elder in Kevel】
　　[Time: 30 days]
