Why Are You Obsessed With Your Fake Wife? - Chapter 70.2
“Why don’t you have any specialties? There must be something that grows more in Winterfell than in any other territory.”
“I’d like to know what it is, too…”
Glenn’s frustrated voice stopped. It didn’t have to be a natural product, but a special one that appeared here.
Nadia’s voice, which was suddenly sighing earlier, passed through his mind.
‘Come to think of it, she said the monster carcasses just now were wasted…’
His eyes began to hesitate.
Yes, it was true that there were so many monsters on Winterfell’s march, but there was no one ever thinking of selling it.
“You don’t mean that we’re going to make monsters a specialty, do you?”
“That’s right.”
“…….”
Glenn could expect that everyone would have the same expression as him without turning his head and checking.
On behalf of their lord who was at a loss for words, some knights came forward to explain.
“Madam, it’s not that we didn’t intend to use monsters as a specialty either. But to have monsters as our specialty……”
“Are you concerned about their poison?”
“Yes, as you may already see here, our weapon used to kill the monster becomes very rusty.”
“That’s right. Fortunately, this battle didn’t take place in agricultural land. The ground soaked in monster blood cannot be used for a few years until the poison disappears.”
Nadia, then, asked back naturally.
“But what if you could dilute that poison?”
“……Don’t tell me you know how to?”
“If I didn’t know that, I wouldn’t have mentioned making monsters as our specialty.”
“Oh, how?”
Glenn could quickly realize that it was a stupid question.
This wasn’t the first time she had delivered extraordinary knowledge that he didn’t know where she had been learning.
If someone else had told him to dilute the monster poison, he would have kicked them out immediately, saying, “What in the world are you thinking?” but when it came out of Nadia’s mouth, it sounded very possible.
“When I was a child… I think it was around the age of 12. I visited the royal palace with my father, and while I was looking around, I entered the warehouse where the royal collected restricted books.”
“So you found out while reading the books secretly?”
“Yes.”
Of course, it was a complete lie.
Nadia knew how to do it because, as usual, it was something revealed in her past life.
‘To be exact, it was known during the war against the devil.’
She got to understand the three most important things in war, one of them must be the supply of food.
Especially in long-distance expeditions, the importance of distribution became even greater.
In order for devils to invade human territory, they had to cross the desert of thirst, and crossing the desert was also a problem, but the real problem occurred after arriving at the invasion site.
How do you maintain that long supply line?
The answers the demons found were simple.
‘Use the captured enemy for food, and if the amount is insufficient, eat the fallen allies!’
It was enough to scare the weak human army, to face monsters that were capable of eating even the corpses of its kind as food.
At that time, even Nadia, who lived comfortably far from the battlefield, was shaken by the ferocity.
‘I thought they could withstand the poison because they were the same kind. I didn’t expect there to be a method of detoxification…’
It became known as the confession of a devil captured by the royal army.
In fact, it was not a secret, so it would be a little too much to use the expression of confession.
Of course, even after the detox was known, people did not use monsters as food.
Everyone knew eating bugs wouldn’t kill them, but that would be the same reason why no one consumed the monsters for food?
However, the story was different if it was used as an ingredient that produced irreplaceable medicinal effects, not just food.
Nadia explained with a few steps.
“For example, in the case of Medusa…”
Medusa was a monster with a snake attached to its head like hair.
Nadia continued her explanation, pointing to Medusa, which was only half left of its remains.
“Although the legs are missing, it’s still useful enough. One of the by-products of Medusa is its hair… I mean the snake venom.”
There was a paper thin difference between medicine and poison. The properly detoxed poison of Medusa could be used in endless fields.
It was a moment to elaborate on Glenn and the knights.
A mysterious yellow color flowed out between the eyelids of the snake, which was tightly closed.
