The reason that the serpent wine was numbing
“While it is called serpent wine, that is just because it’s easier, given the appearance. It is really more of a dicinal wine. We have been drinking it in this village for a long ti. It makes the body strong.”
“It does?”
Apparently, they used to add the herbs to other drinks as well. However, the combination with wine was the best.
As for the herbs, they were a mix of different plants, and every house had their own recipe. But the one herb that always made it in wawa called purikuri.
I had never seen it in person, but it was in the book that I borrowed from Sebastian.
It was similar to a tree and nearly the height of a human. You dried the leaves and turned them into a powder for use.
And when it is drunk, it causes both a burning and numbing sensation.
According to the chief, by mixing it with the serpent and wine, it helped to warm up the body and energize it. Well, he said that it felt like it did those things.
They had started to make the serpent wine regularly, as there was a forest nearby, making it easy to gather the herbs. And it would help them stay warm during the winter.
“In any case, it has now beco the favorite drink here. A tradition that was passed down. And now everyone enjoys it for the taste.”
“I see…”
Well, it was sothing that Ms. Dalia could have told about. But if I did not co here and see it in person, then I would not have drunk it or learned about how it started. So I was glad that I ca.
…Even if I did not care for the taste…
“Now that you know all about it, it’s ti to eat the…”
“No…”
The chief then tried to get to eat the chunks at the bottom of the cup.
I knew it wasn’t poisonous, which was better, but… Still, eating serpents…
However, the chief would not stop.
And so I finally gave in.
Hmm. Well, I tried not to think about how it tasted.
It was a little too much like eating raw fat for my liking.
The bitterness and sll of blood. I could not understand why anyone would eat it willingly.
Ms. Helena would faint if she knew of it.
Still, the others were very happy when they saw that I was willing to try it, and it helped to fit in more after that.
There is a saying about when you are in Ro… And I saw how important it was now.

A few days passed after the feast, and I was enjoying my stay in the village and living life normally.
But perhaps the change was not that dramatic.
Unlike at the mansion, we had to prepare our own food. But I had once lived alone, so it was not difficult.
Well, there was getting water from the well. Also, I had to wash myself with a towel, as there was no proper bath.
Also, we either received food from the village or hunted it ourselves. But it was cheaper than the food in Ractos.
There was also the smoked at, which Phillip liked a lot. And it was often served during als. And, whenever we went hunting with Ms. Delia, we would always co back with an orc, and we would get a portion for very cheap.
