Chapter 35: The Truth (5)
"Is that really okay?" Sitting on the secret airship flying to the junction of the Duchy of Remephilia and the Republic of Calvard, Count Hertha said to Count Amasia on the side with some nervousness.
What he never expected was that when he approached the Count of Amancia with trepidation, he found that the latter was also very surprising—he looked as haggard as himself. After a little exchange, it turned out that the Count of Amancia, like himself, had discovered that the ingredients contained in this cigar could soothe and paralyze their emotions, but afterwards it rebounded with a more ferocious craving. And the second box of cigars was nothing more than the Count of Ammancia thought Count Hertha would like it, and sent someone to send it afterwards - and almost shortly thereafter, the Count of Ammancia himself became addicted to the same drug due to overdependence.
The point is that the situation has affected their daily lives, and even their future, – and the Count of Hertha, knowing this, almost immediately fell into a panic. Count Ammancia hurriedly comforted him, apologized, and said that since the matter had been done, he would take care of everything, so that Count Hertha could wait for news at home with peace of mind.
For the next week, the Count of Hertha was almost on pins and needles, thinking about the tea and dinner, and often imagining in his work what the Count of Amencia would come up with to solve this problem. Fortunately, this time he didn't have to wait long before the news came that through many efforts, the Count of Ammancia had made contact with the underground factory that made the cigar. The Count of Ammancia was so menacing that the cigars were actually made with ordinary cigar materials and some traditional herbs from the Republic of Calvard. Some of these herbs can restore health, but the rest of the waste has this feeling of excitement and addiction. Since the discovery of this characteristic, various drugs based on it have quietly spread in the underground world. Under the threat of Count Ammancia, the other party promised to provide a corresponding treatment plan to help the two solve their problems. As a sign of sincerity, they also sent some strange little pills, which they said would slow their dependence on the herb.
So, in a state of disbelief, with the mentality that a dead horse would be a live horse doctor, the Count of Hertha drank this strange drug—but unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good. It was only a few days later that he and the Count of Amencia found that their thirst for the cigar was less intense, and that they only occasionally felt a little craving.
In this case, because he had won the initial trust of Count Ammancia, Count Ammancia did not have any objection to the other party's next plan - some medicine that had to be decocted in front of them was needed to help them completely get rid of this dependence. Because the production of this drug requires some special craftsmanship and equipment, the two Counts of Ammancia and Hertha had to go in person.
After the two of them packed up, they were ready to go. However, before leaving, the Count of Hertha finally remembered something in his gradually calming mood - the Count of Ammancia seemed to be a little different from himself.
First of all, the most suspicious was the second box of cigars in his possession, which the Count of Amencia admitted was sent by him, because he thought he would be happy to accept the gift. However, why did it happen that the gift appeared in front of me who had escaped the predicament in real life and was in a relaxed state? If, according to the Count of Amancia, when did he clearly feel the attraction of this cigar smoke to him? If it was before his own drunkenness, then how could he have someone bring it to him?
In this regard, the Count of Ammancia explained that he had sent it on this day, and that he did not specify the date at the time, but only the butler in charge of the foreign affairs of the Count of Amancia's family, "to send it out before the Count of Hertha got rid of that trouble" - in other words, it was a gift that had been prepared a long time ago. And it is naturally impossible for a humble servant's butler to know that the Count of Ammancia and the Count Hertha themselves are addicted to some drug of unknown origin. After the grand banquet in which the Count of Hertha and others celebrated that the economic crisis had finally passed, the butler naturally learned the news, and according to the instructions of the host, he sent the gift prepared in advance, but he did not know that the lord of his family was already suffering from drug addiction and agony as the place where his gift was going.
At first glance, this explanation actually sounds like there are still a lot of points and loopholes worth studying. But the Count of Hertha was already somewhat absent-minded about the truth of the matter - compared to what would happen next. For now, you can put these things on hold for the time being, and wait until some time later.
On the airship, Count Hertha began to imagine what the destination of this journey would be. What would it be like there? What is the process and content of this treatment? What if I relapse after that?
And thousands of Cel moments away, somewhere on the border between Calvard and Remephilia—

"Hmm...... Get everything ready today. A well-dressed adult man in white was saying to the young man next to him in a casual manner, "This is a great business. If we're lucky, we'll be able to complete all the required metrics in the next few days. ”
"Understood...... Your Excellency the Officer-in-Charge. The young man said nervously, "Is it a mission from the headquarters?" ”
"No...... It is a great nobleman from Erebonia. He paid us a lot of money and asked us to help him do something. The man known as the person in charge showed a somewhat grim smile, "You don't have to ask the specifics—you just need to know that the amount he promised is enough for our headquarters to spend money on a batch of very important alchemy books." It is very helpful to improve the efficiency of the "experimental body". ”
"I see...... It's for the sake of the Son of God being able to wake up as soon as possible......" After hearing this, the young man seemed to suddenly realize, so he had to nod his head.
"Hmm...... So it's important. The man repeated the sentence again, looking at the document in his hand and frowning, "But...... It's a pity that "No. 15" can't seem to come out this time...... She hasn't recovered since the last time. ”
"In that case...... In order to make up for this loss, it is even more necessary to prepare carefully. The young man was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.
