Chapter 899
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 medicinal wine. We have been drinking it in this village for a long time. 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.
