Mazumeshi Elf to Yuboku gurashi - Vol. 3 Ch. 15 - A way home

[Avenger88id]

Sooo, a chinese sounding name with 1500 man and woman. My bet on this xiufu is a chinese emperor with his terracota warrior and concubines

Where there's a will...
Also, what kind of Celtic elf are you? Can't even handle the hooch.

@Sep10trion
Their "life water" looks like some form of wine or kumis, and that's really low alcohol content. Plus that's a rarity.
So depending how long she's been there, she might've not had actual liquor for a long time.

@Avenger88id nah they're probably talking about Xu Fu an imperial alchemist and taoist tasked by the then ruler of the Qin Dynasty to search for the Elixir of Life. He brought 3000 boys and girls on a voyage in the sea to look for it, but he never came back.

@imfromkissmangabutitsgone I think you got the whole “curiosity killed the cat” reversed here.

Rock ma is peaking MC’s curiosity by not telling him anything. If she continues to refuse telling him, he eventually would look elsewhere to find a way back. If he did eventually find a way back, say from a book or someone told him, there’s a chance that whatever told him how to get back to his world wouldn’t warn him of the dangers of this method. In this case, it really would be his curiosity that lead to his death.

If Rock ma told him the method and the dangers but he still decided to go through with it, it wouldn’t be his curiosity that killed him but his recklessness

This is a hell of a lot more serious than I thought this series would be

Who is the Zaac that Lefay mentioned as required reading in our world? I am assuming that Zaac refers to Isaac, but I can't figure out which author she would be referring too who would also write about Dwarves.

 

[FioreFire]

something about the art style on the rock lady's face makes me supremely uncomfortable. a boulder firmly lodged into the cliff face on the side of the Uncanny Valley

 

[SlingToken]

@_idiot Ah. Thanks.

 

[ultraleaf]

That's a geodude a freaking pokemon!! lmao

 

[Avenger88id]

@NoTofu i google him and looks like you are right. So that means xu fu meaning of life water is not àlcoholic drink, but real elixir? Looks like there will be trouble for our mc.

 

[kwendy]

@TheOne320 As long as not "drifters".

@ayujih Maybe this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemesis_(Asimov_novel) The plot twist is that

Spoiler

the rock is technically sentient as the bacteria growing on it form a telepathic hive mind.

 

[Jedahaw92]

Xufu was the guy who was sent out by Qin Shi Huang to search for the Elixir of Life.

 

[newmangareader246]

goddamn this manga is good. the fact that they based a character off a real historical person and gave such a compelling story to him deserves high praise.

not only that but if you tweak his story enough and throw in some sci-fi mumbo jumbo you could make a legit case he ended up in that world

First batch of alcohol is methanol, because it has a lower boiling point.

Consequences … nice.
