Time and Space Tavern

Chapter 397

In "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind", Kushana is one of the few people Qiao Mu likes besides Nausicaa.

Compared with Nausicaa's "Madonna", Kushana is more real.

If you compare Nausicaa to a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, Kushana is a queen standing on the top of her bones.

She was ruthless towards her enemies, killing Paget in order to obtain the Titan Soldiers, and committed countless other killings.

On the opposite side, she is undoubtedly a crime-ridden executioner.

But thinking about her past experience: cruel court struggle, ruthless father and brother, crazy mother who drank poisonous wine to protect herself...

In such an environment, if she didn't become like this, then she would be the one who died, and she would not be able to protect the people around her.

Although she has made some irreparable mistakes, but thinking about it, few people can do what she does—they either become more crazy and have no bottom line, or they are eaten to the bone.

What's more, in the later period of the manga, she was infected by Nausicaa, and she gave up her initial perseverance, and instead supported that kind and pure girl, she did not sit down even when the throne was at her feet, but instead reserved it for the world as the regent. Kind of hopeful.

Therefore, Qiao Mu didn't mind revealing part of the truth to her, after all, she was not a bad person in essence.

……

Qiao Mu's words made Kushana's expression change drastically.

The mother has always touched the soft spot in her heart the most, and her mother's illness has made her feel guilty all the time, but Qiao Mu suddenly said that she can restore her mother to normal...

"What you said is true?" Kushana asked with trembling lips.

"Naturally." Qiao Mu said.

"Then..." Kushana started, but didn't know what to say.

"The 'Phoenix Force' can reverse time, rejuvenate people and even bring them back to life. It would be a waste to cure a crazy person," Qiao Mu said.

"The Phoenix Force?" Kushana murmured.

Nausicaa couldn't help but said, "It's worth 500 million space-time coins, and the Colossus is only worth 10 space-time coins."

Kushana suddenly looked up: "If it is true, then no matter how expensive it is, I will get it!"

"Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome," Qiao Mu said with a smile, "If you're willing to wait, maybe I can help you try it for free..."

He thought of Professor X, if that guy had a try with his powerful "power of mind", maybe he could easily cure Kushana's mother's mental illness.

Kushana was silent for a long time and finally nodded.

Crotova was hesitant to speak at the side, he really wanted to remind Kushana that the other party's words had no basis, but he was afraid of Qiao Mu's ability and dared not speak up.

But soon, suspicion appeared on his expression, because Kushana's mother, the princess of the Kingdom of Dorumegia, had always been a secret to the outside world, and he only learned about it by accident.

Qiao Mu captured Crotova's thoughts through his "telepathy" ability. With a half-smile expression on his face, he turned to Crotova and said, "I know this, is it strange?"

"I also know," Qiao Mu cleared his throat and said, "You are the spy sent by King Wu to Kushana. Oh, now you probably think Kushana is more suitable to be loyal to, right?"

"Well, you probably don't like Kushana's ruthless appearance. I hope she is a little more kind... You don't like her, do you?" Qiao Mu's expression became weird.

His voice caused all the soldiers to burst into uproar. Obviously, very few people knew Crotova's true identity.

Kushana was not surprised, only when Qiao Mu said the last thing did her complexion change, and her eyes towards Crotova became sharper.

"How is it possible, you are talking nonsense!" Crotova subconsciously ignored the fear of Qiao Mu, but instead was full of anger at being exposed by Qiao Mu.

"Don't be nervous." Qiao Mu smiled.

He pointed to his head: "I can feel your thoughts."

Crotova shut her mouth tightly, trying to keep herself calm.

After shocking these people, Qiao Mu planned to leave.

Nausicaa tried to stay again.

Qiao Mu was going to refuse, but suddenly thought of the plots that happened in the movie, looked at Nausicaa strangely, and nodded in agreement.

"You guys stay together too, I will tell you the trading rules and some commodities." Nausicaa looked at Kushana again.

This operation achieved nothing, but destroyed a ship, so Kushana had no intention of leaving.

What's more, she has never been completely reassured by what the other party said.

After letting the soldiers stay where they were, she led ten guards, including Crotova, towards the tallest house in the center of the Valley of the Wind.

Yuba walked at the end of the crowd. He was smiling and had a premonition of the transformation of this world.This expectation put him in a good mood, and he couldn't help but take out the half-finished bottle of wine from his arms and take a sip.

The aroma of the wine spread out and fell on the crowd in front.

Crotova, who was walking in the back position, stopped abruptly and turned around hesitantly.

When he saw that the smell was coming from a glass bottle filled with transparent liquid in Juba's hand, his face changed slightly.

Glancing at Qiao Mu quietly, he stopped until Yuba, who was drinking with his head bowed, came to his side.

"Did you drink wine?" Crotova asked.

Hearing this voice, Yuba, who was a little carried away for a while, suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly protected the wine in his arms, and said coldly: "It has nothing to do with you!"

His response made Crotova's eyes brighten: It's really wine!

Ever since he was rewarded by King Wu by chance and tasted the wine once, Crotova, a general who was promoted from a commoner, has been fascinated by this delicious food.

It's just that the current living conditions of human beings in the world are difficult, and the limited food is used to eat. Even the Kingdom of Dorumegia has issued a ban on alcohol, so even if he spends a lot of money, he only drinks occasionally. Been twice.

Now, it has been a year and a half since he last drank.

The glutton in his stomach was aroused, and a smile appeared on Crotova's face, and he said flatteringly: "Can you give me a drink, just a small sip."

Yuba hesitated for a few seconds, and finally took out the wine from his arms.

Seeing that Crotova was about to snatch the wine bottle from his hand, he hurriedly withdrew his hand. Under the puzzled eyes of the other party, he took out the bottle cap and carefully poured out half of the cap.

"Stingy ghost." Crotova slandered, but thanked him and took the bottle cap into his hand.

He put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it for a long time before drinking it in one gulp.

The spicy and fragrant smell of wine made his chest feel hot. It tasted countless times better than the last time he drank.

"Good wine!" Krotova praised.
