"The situation is not optimistic. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

This was the conclusion of the court physician, and he did not even know what kind of poison Salfin had. The only thing he knew was that the venom was breaking down the defenses in Salfin's body, and when what little bit of scoring power he had left was eaten away by the venom, it would kill him.

Salfin has a maximum of one afternoon left, which is the most optimistic estimate.

After hearing the bad news, Lilith muttered to Ravenhall in dissatisfaction, "Aren't you an alchemist?

"Making drugs is just our side business, and we only control drugs and don't care about detoxification!" Ravenhall wanted to step up at such a moment and make Lilith and the others realize his importance. However, there was nothing he could do about the poison in Salfin, and finding the formula for the poison in an afternoon was obviously an impossible task - even if the president of the Alchemist Guild came back then, it was useless!

"Until detoxification, it is impossible for Captain Salfin to wake up. ”

"Go find Captain Ziegler!" Leah commanded sternly.

"It's useless, according to your descriptions, he should wish Salfin was dead. Coriya's face was a little ugly, and deep down in her heart, it seemed as if she was experiencing a war between heaven and man: "I know this poison, and there is only one person in the Tarun Kingdom who can match this poison." ”

"Who?" asked everyone in unison.

Coria hesitated for a long time before replying, "...... Nightingale. ”

Even in the Assassin Guild, it was only accessible to a very small number of high-level officials. It was not the fastest-acting or most stealthy poison, and the Assassins would not use such a high-grade poison in the usual assassination contract. It was studied for a single purpose - to poison the Templars.

Originally born at the beginning of the Hundred Years' War, it flourished in the middle of the war, and with the disappearance of the Assassin Guild, the poison that terrified the high knights of the Byron Empire faded into obscurity. Coria was well aware of this poison, as she used it to poison the head of the Kanna family, her father, when the Assassin Guild invaded the imperial capital.

But she didn't develop the poisons.

With the invasion plans failing, Nightingale is probably the only person in the Assassin Guild who has mastered the poison formula.

"There's not an afternoon left. Coria stared at Salfin, who was sweating profusely, and it was clear that he was in a state of extreme torment: "Within an hour, the venom will flow into his heart, and at that point, even if he gets the antidote, it won't help." ”

"I'm going to find her. Lin Qiu said without thinking, Salfin was undoubtedly the key figure in the whole incident.

"No, the person she wants to see is me. Coria shook her head: "You can keep an eye on Ziegler at the banquet, I have informed Julius and asked him to be on standby at any time...... You don't have to think about anything, I'll bring Salfin back alive. ”

With that, she slung Salfin on her shoulders and left the room.

"I'm going to follow her, maybe I'll find something unexpected. Helena Mao recommended herself. Hundreds of years ago, she had grown tired of the nobles' banquets, and she didn't want to deal with the men who accosted him like flies. On the other hand, Ziegler naturally wouldn't let Coria get Salfin back so easily.

"The preparations for the banquet are about to begin. The two of them left with their front feet, and the head maid, Karen, walked in with their back feet.

It was an unprecedentedly grand banquet, which included all the celebrities of the Taron Kingdom, and some of the wealthy merchants who had been invited left their affairs behind and came to the inner city just after noon. According to aristocratic etiquette, the person who hosts the banquet must arrive early to receive the guests out of respect.

"Don't worry, Helena will be foolproof when she goes. Lin Qiu comforted Liya.

This should be the ideal way to deal with it, with him, Lilith, and Alyssa keeping Leah safe, and Helena and Coria conducting covert investigations, making it impregnable on either side to keep the enemy hiding in the shadows out of the way.

"As the procedure goes, the guests will first visit the inner city, during which time Leah will stay in the main hall. In order to facilitate the deployment of Lin Qiu and the others, Kalian introduced the process of the banquet. The inner city was so vast that if there were any Assassins, he could be ambushed anywhere: "Coria and Julius' men are mainly responsible for guarding the main hall. ”

These deployments are modified on an ad hoc basis.

Although they did not know what exactly Captain Ziegler was brewing, he was clearly not fit for such an important role right now.

Before leaving, however, Corria had mentioned that the Royal Library and the Small Garden were high-risk areas. Karen handed Lin Qiu the marked map, and when it came to the Assassin's opinion, Coria and Lin Qiu disagreed. She believed that the Assassins were real, not that someone had shot them out for their own plans.

"Then I'll search these places first. ”

Lin Qiu put away the map, and the banquet officially started in the evening, and there was still quite a bit of time before now. During this time, Alyssa was enough to keep Leah safe, and there was no need for them to concentrate all their men in the banquet hall. Recent events were enough to make Lin Qiu anxious - Salfin was involved when they thought the attacker was a nightingale, and when he was wanted all over the city, he was attacked by Ziegler's men.

This made Lin Qiu seriously doubt whether Ziegler was another front for someone. He wished there was a flash of lightning in his mind at this time.

"Are you suspicious of Captain Ziegler?"

Just as Lin Qiu was posing as a thinker in the staggered corridors of the palace, Julius's unique lazy voice came from the side: "Explain in advance, it's not me who I want to come, it's the head maid Karian who insists on letting me be your guide." ”

Not so long ago, when Julius was also posing as the Stylist of the Contemplatives, the head maid found him on a chaise longue in the small garden. Of course, Julius's question is not who the real culprit is, but whether he should eat more beef or roast suckling pig at night. Just as he pondered this ultimate problem of life, his men betrayed him.

The soldiers, who patted their chests and promised that they would not talk nonsense, immediately revealed the whereabouts of their captain in a daze when they saw the beautiful Karen.

"What's wrong with Captain Ziegler?"

"I've heard about what happened to you at the beach. Julius sat beside Lin Qiu in the same way, and in his opinion, being Lin Qiu's guide could also be understood as a change of place in a daze: "Killing Mr. Salfin does seem like an order he gave him. ”

"But ......?"

"But Captain Ziegler is an upright man, probably like me. ”

Julius raised his head and looked at the still blue sky: "As for what happened before, even if it really has something to do with him, I guess someone must have taught him." ”
