Chapter 158: Golden Mandragora
Chapter 158: Golden Mandragora
Mandragora, resembling giant ginseng reaching 150 cm tall, held her hands toward a golden leaf planted in the ground.
Just as a priest uses a heel to restore his life, soft light from Mandragora's hands continues to shoot at the leaves.
The leaves that received the light grow slowly, but Mandragora's complexion, which consumes mana, looks somewhat tired.
When the mana is depleted, the complexion becomes pale and sweats in a cold sweat, but the color of the face part jumps to purple as if it were a mandrake.
"Come on, mana potion."
When Jun-woo handed the mana potion, Mandragora took it and gulped it down.
"I'll leave it here, so eat as much as you need."
Jun-woo placed expensive mana potions in luxurious bottles as if they were arranged on the floor.
Mandragora drank mana when it was about to run out and used a heal to make plants grow.
The leaves that were healed in this way became a heap of grass and again became a fruit good to eat like wild berries.
Mandragora, who looked exhausted, picked the fruit and handed it to Jun-woo with trembling hands.
Jun-woo accepted it with a satisfied smile.
[Fruit of Mysterious Nature] [Belonging]
-Rank: Unique+
-Effect: A beneficial effect occurs when eaten.
Item value: 200,000,000,000
Needless to say, the taste was the best among the fruits Jun-woo had eaten.
In addition, some fruits give beneficial effects to the body just by eating them, fruits that you want to eat even if you pay billions of dollars, but these kinds of fruits were largely inherited.
"Thanks."
Mandragora smiled hard.
In anticipation of what effect it would have this time, Jun-woo put the fruit in his mouth.
Pleasant sweetness spread throughout his mouth and passed down to the nape of Jun-woo's neck.
[Bonus stats increase by 10 due to the effect of the fruit.]
I was hoping for an extension of the ring or more, but it was a bit disappointing.
Jun-woo's eyes turned to Mandragora's hair.
Hair made of golden leaves, 8 more remained even after 2 leaves fell out.
Jun-woo thought briefly about how to entice the mandragora.
First the transaction.
"Do you need gold?"
Monsters with intelligence liked gold.
The system was applied, and the currency used by humans or race monsters was gold.
Gold is used to raise the skill level, use the gold shop, and in many other cases.
I don't know if this monster will need it or not, but Jun-woo had decent gold.
Mandragora shook her head in embarrassment.
"Live, sell. I will give you 200 billion gold."
Mandragora reached out, stroking her stomach with her roots.
He drank a lot of mana potion, so he was full.
The potion could not be eaten indefinitely because it caused fullness.
"You're not going to be able to take any more mana potions because you're full?"
nod nod
"Isn't it because you don't want to give?"
Mandragora quickly shook her head.
The deal seemed to have failed, so the next step was intimidation.
"You don't know, but you are a very, very, hard to find, high-quality ingredient. I heard you can get the same effect as a berry just by grabbing and eating it? As I said before, this can't save you. It's still not enough to save you."
A look of surprise spread across Mandragora's face.
Jun-woo's words were not completely false.
There were many stories about the elixir obtained by slaughtering mandragora, and the golden mandragora was a monster regarded as a legend.
The item holding the golden mandragora would have some mysterious effect.
Mandragora inflated her stomach and shook her head.
"I should exercise, then. Shall we go for a walk?"
Since the phenomenon of fullness was quickly relieved by moving the body a lot, Jun-woo semi-forced the mandragora to exercise.
"Come on, run. If you don't run, I'll pluck all the leaves."
Surprised, Mandragora ran straight away.
The cave was quite long, enough for Mandragora to run around. Jun-woo flew next to Mandragora and coached him.
"Okay, turn here."
A little further on, there was a road leading up to the outside.
Jun-woo had burned an entire section of the forest outside, so it felt like Mandragora, walking around the forest, couldn't see it.
Mandragora, who had been running on the same road several times, stopped with a tired face and sat down on the floor.
"Hook ."
It was Mandragora who was having a hard time sitting against the wall.
"Two, two, I'll save you."
When he revealed the requirements, Mandragora looked at Jun-woo with a face that looked like he was about to cry.
"I promise, it will take two."
As Mandragora nodded slowly, golden leaves swayed up and down.
"Come on, wear this too."
Jun-woo took out two unique + rings worth 200 billion won that he was wearing and held them out.
The ring had the effect of increasing mana recovery, so it would be helpful.
Mandragora took the ring with a puzzled look and hung it on a finger made of roots.
Then the ring disappeared.
"I will only ask for two."
Mandragora nodded again, rose from her seat, and gulped her mana potion.
Then he pulled another golden leaf from his head and put it on the floor.
After planting well, the mandragora reinvigorated the leaves.
As the fruit began to bear, another one was handed to Jun-woo.
"Thank you, let me ask you one last thing."
Mandragora, with a tired face, sat helplessly on the floor.
Jun-woo put the fruit straight into his mouth.
As the freshness spread, the phrase appeared in front of my eyes.
[Health increases by 10 due to the effect of the fruit.]
This time, it wasn't a bonus stat. It was stamina.
For Jun-woo, it was better than strength but inferior to intelligence or agility.
"Does it seem to be getting less and less effective? Isn't it a lack of sincerity?"
Mandragora quickly shook her head.
Yes let me ask you one more thing. Let me rest a little."
Jun-woo looked at the remaining time.
It was enough time to get two more if he coaxed him well, but Mandragora looked tired.
Still, perhaps because the ring's mana recovery was good, the purple complexion returned quickly.
Jun-woo, who had folded his arms and looked at Mandragora, returned to the entrance.
It must have been that Lloyd and Jeong Dae Nam had entered the cave.
Jeong Dae Nam said to Lloyd with wide eyes.
"Wow, it's a dungeon in a place like this. How did you find it, Master?"
"It is a special-looking tree. And you have the personality to destroy anything."
In the past, even when Jun-woo went to Harpy's Valley through a secret map, there was a precedent for breaking all stones.
The seriousness of Jeong Dae Nam, who was smiling lightly, was revealed.
"Ha-ha, but, there's something real. Here."
"Yes, there is something."
"No, it's really great It feels like the whole oyster here is warm ."
Is that so? We'll find out what it is soon."
As they walked along the winding road, they could see Jun-woo and the golden mandragora sitting in front of him.
Lloyd's eyes widened slightly, and Jeong Dae Nam's mouth opened wide.
"Tue, gold!"
"It's a hard-to-see monster, isn't it?"
"The very thing is, a legendary monster. What you actually see ."
Lloyd approached with a satisfied smile.
"You have found a monster classified as a spirit creature. Master, congratulations."
"Yes, thank you."
"But something is strange, the situation now."
When Mandragora saw the two of them sitting on the floor, he was terrified again.
"I'm excited too."
"Why are you keeping me alive? Without taking care of yourself."
"It bears fruit. I am waiting for it."
"Fruit? It seems to be a good effect. But how long will it take? You must gather the petals you found, my lord."
"So you came. Well, So would you like to see this guy? I will go with Jung Dae Nam."
"Jeong Dae Nam doesn't know where I found it, so I have to go too."
"Well ."
Lloyd looked at the empty potion bottle lying on the floor and said:
"If it's for mana recovery, how about taking it with you?"
The forest here burns so well that the forest is a mess.
Jeong Dae Nam whispered in Lloyd's ear.
"I heard that Mandragora likes forests. It seems that it has become a non-preemptive attack for some reason now, but if you look at the forest, a different situation may unfold ."
"How about seeing Jung Dae Nam?"
"I, me? I ."
Even if it was a miner, Jeong Dae Nam would win by making it.
However, he did not know what would happen, so it was Jun-woo who seemed unlikely.
Even if you wanted to leave the defense robot behind, the defense robot would disappear if you left the street.
The three went to the back and had a brief meeting.
"Lloyd, you can come and eat."
"Too many for that, my lord."
"How many?"
"Twenty-eight."
For each blade of grass, stamina is permanently increased by 1.
If Jun-woo, who is 188, just eats, it was the second stat to break through 200 after his Intellect.
A lot ."
"The location of 25 of them is known by Jeong Dae Nam."
"Then, Jeong Dae Nam and I will go, and for the three, when I come back, you can go and get drunk."
"Okay, Master."
Jun-woo checked the watch and moved immediately.
Carrying Jeong Dae Nam, Jun-woo flew outside.
As soon as he went outside, Jun-woo flew in the direction Jeong Dae Nam was pointing at full speed.
"There, there."
There were 22 blades of grass neatly laid out on the peak.
"You found this. You are great too."
"I didn't find it where Lord Lloyd found it."
Is that so? Anyway, thank you."
"Hurry up and gather it, Master."
"Yeah."
Jun-woo tore it apart and put it in the item window.
As my stamina increased, I felt reassured.
Then, after collecting even three near the peak, Jun-woo returned to where Mandragora was and touched the baton.
"Come on, Lloyd."
"Then I will go."
Lloyd went out of the cave, and Jun-woo went to Mandragora.
"Come on, let's start slowly."
Mandragora took a deep breath and stood up.
Jung Dae Nam's eyes widened as he plucked the golden leaves, a medicinal herb worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
Then, as he planted it on the floor and cast the heel, his mouth slowly opened.
Why ."
As the plant grew and bore fruit, it was returned to Jun-woo.
"You worked hard. Make it. Let me rest now."
Mandragora nodded and went back to the wall, and sat down.
"Wow Come on, let's eat, Master."
"Yeah."
Jun-woo put it in his mouth coldly.
The sweet juice that doesn't seem to get tired of, no matter how many times you eat, bursts in your mouth.
[The skill window has been expanded by one due to the effect of the fruit.]
It was an extension of the skill window that expanded every 20 levels.
An effect allows you to learn one more skill through the skill book.
As a faint smile spread across Jun-woo's face, Jeong Dae Nam hurriedly spoke.
"Chu, congratulations, Master."
Thank you. Fruit is an item that has a beneficial effect."
"Oh, I hope you enjoyed it, Master."
"It's okay this time."
As Jun-woo had a satisfied smile on his face, Lloyd ran lightly from behind.
Lloyd asked when he saw the stuffed mandragora.
Are you done? master."
Yes."
Jeong Dae Nam checked the time and said cautiously.
"One more, take it, Master."
The remaining time was about 15 minutes, and it was impossible to take another one considering the condition of Mandragora.
"I think it's going to be overkill."
Ah yes ."
Lloyd smiled and looked at Mandragora.
"Now then, let's grab it and leave, Master."
Mandragora was startled and slid sideways away from them.
"I promised to save you."
Lloyd's eyes fluttered at Jun-woo's words.
Jung Dae Nam stopped Jun-woo with a surprised face.
"You have to catch it. Legendary-class belongings may appear. You have to catch it."
"I want the owner to catch me too. It might give you a special item that was not in the world."
Jun-woo looked at Mandragora.
Mandora with a frightened face.
Jun-woo's heart was weakened because he showed a variety of expressions.
"Because a promise is a promise."
"No, Master. think again ."
Lloyd let out a shallow sigh.
"It seems you have already decided. It's unfortunate, but we can do nothing about it."
Ha ."
They both looked sad.
Jun-woo approached Mandragora and said,
"Now give me the ring."
Sitting on the floor, Mandragora slid back and shook a leaf.
Yes? Give it to me quickly."
Mandragora summoned a stem from the floor to mark the number.
It was several 812, and counting it in seconds was similar to the amount of time Jun-woo could be here.
"I know numbers."
Roots grow next to it and draw two rings with the number 10.
"Give it to me when I have 10 seconds left?"
nod nod
He seemed to want to have the ring as insurance.
" ."
Lloyd understood the situation and said quickly.
"Just kill me, Master. I will give you something better than a ring."
"No, it's hard to find."
Finding the ring I wanted was quite difficult because Jun-woo wore accessories that only increased mana.
"Then, are you just waiting?"
"No, I'll do one quest and come back. If I don't come back, make sure you get the ring. If you don't want to give it to me, then ."
Jun-woo, who paused for a moment, looked at Mandragora and continued.
"You can kill me."
"Okay, Master."
Jun-woo said so and went outside.
Jeong Dae Nam said to Lloyd carefully.
"Lloyd, saving lives is absolutely ridiculous. A monster you'll never see again If Master doesn't come back, even Lord Lloyd ."
"I'm sorry, but I don't think that will happen. I have a hard time disobeying my Master's orders."
"However ."
"I told you can kill me if you don't want to give it to me, so let's wait. Instead, I planned to pick it up 40 seconds ago. Did you hear me?"
As if negotiating, the number 10 made up of stems was changed to 15.
"It's 40 seconds. If you don't give it back, it will be eaten."
The number of stems changed to 20.
"Forty seconds, plant."
At Lloyd's threat, Mandragora's body trembled like an aspen.
