“A new restaurant, ‘At the Temple,’ has opened in the city! Come and try our exquisite barbarians, seasoned with the blood of the city’s women and a hangman’s noose! The head chef.”
I didn’t write this, honestly :smile04:
So, regarding the murders, prayer and mandrake root caught my attention... perhaps they are connected, because mandrake is also mentioned in the Bible:smile42: specifically,
Mention in the Bible Bible, Genesis chapter 30, verses 14—16
14. Reuben went out into the field during wheat harvest, and he found mandrakes in the field. He brought them to his mother Leah. Rachel said to Leah, “Will you give me some of your son’s mandrakes?”
15. Leah replied, “Is it not enough that you have taken my husband? Now you want to take my son’s mandrakes too?” Rachel said, “Then you may sleep with him tonight in exchange for my son’s mandrakes.”
16. That night Jacob lay with Leah. In the morning, Leah said, “I have been hired by you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he slept with her again that night. Bible, Song of Solomon chapter 7, verse 14
14. Mandrakes give off fragrance, and our doors are open to all kinds of fine fruits, both new and old, which I have saved for you, my love!
If anyone has any thoughts on this, please share... Oh, if Tako hadn’t changed her profile, the phrase “And this too shall pass...” could have been directly linked to Solomon :) Also, it’s a hallucinogen, and the plant’s flowers are blue and purple, which is also interesting to look at. But there are even more interesting facts :)
In Goethe’s novel “Faust,” mandrake is mentioned by Mephistopheles (“You prattle about mandrakes / And utter nonsense about a black dog”): according to medieval beliefs, the roots of mandrake indicate the location of treasures; the root of mandrake can only be dug up by a black dog; a person who dares to dig it up will die.
In J.K. Rowling’s novel “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” students at Hogwarts, led by Professor Sprout, grew mandrakes in the greenhouses. Moreover, the mandrakes’ cries could kill a person. The juice of mature mandrakes is used to cure dangerous spells, including the spell
In the film “Pan’s Labyrinth,” the Faun gives the heroine a magical, living mandrake root, which she must place under the bed of Carmen, the heroine’s pregnant mother, for her recovery. When the captain finds the root, Carmen burns it in the fireplace, and she immediately feels ill. During childbirth, she dies.
I’m familiar with these works; in Pan’s Labyrinth, Ofelia placed the root in milk under the bed, and it settled there like a small, living child, and then Vidal burned it, and there was a lot of blood :smile05:
The first album by the band “Deep Purple” — “The Shades Of Deep Purple” — contains a song called Mandrake Root. The German band “Edguy” has an album called “Mandrake” and a song called “Tears of a Mandrake.”
It was also interesting to learn that :smile04:
But in general, to be honest, it’s unclear how to conduct a vote where 4 people out of 16 are from the city:smile04: everyone is sabotaging each other... I think the killer is probably the Guardian, or the Patron-Mummifier o0 Or Freud, the blood mage.... and he drank it all Drink it down!:smile04:
But I still think that Freud should be executed, because the chance that he’s the bad guy is high, at least everyone around him is :smile26:
