When Merlin Avery told everything he knew, the courtyard was silent, and only the murmuring of water could be heard.

As consul of the city-state of Coventry, military governor of the western frontier of the Empire, and ruler of the Thornflower family, Baron Edelman Bripais is undoubtedly a big man, and he also has the calm demeanor of a big man, and the ease with which he can switch from sharp to gentle.

At this moment, however, all the masks of calm crumbled, and Baron Edelman Bripes held his wife in his arms, tears streaming down his face, desperately trying to suppress himself from choking.

"Alchemy", or "Death's Justice", is the terrible toxin that is raging in the body of his wife, Veronica Boston, the second daughter of the Boston family, and because this toxin is produced by a series of coincidences, it is not only very difficult to treat, but also has a very low success rate.

What's more, if it weren't for the Grandmaster-level alchemist to personally preside over the treatment, or to get the Grandmaster-level targeted antidote, Veronica wouldn't even be able to be cured.

Chief Mentor Basten and President Herderland examined the toxins extracted from Veronica's wound and then requested a consultation. All six alchemy gurus from the city-state of Coventry were invited, and Mentor Sinhari, who was almost kicked out of the city lord's mansion, also participated.

After two hours of argument, persuasion, speeches, and examinations, they came to a hopeless and frustrating conclusion, and even the most bitter and disgruntled Mentor Sinhari had to admit that the Iron Master was completely correct and that Lady Veronica's days were numbered.

Alchemy's Death is a special toxin with similar intelligence and life, and the damage to the poisoner's body is not particularly rapid, but any means of detoxification will cause this toxin to mutate further. And each mutation makes the death of alchemy more tricky.

A mentor who participated in the consultation finally said with regret that if Master Tie had treated the symptoms when he first discovered it, maybe there would have been a chance to recover, but now it was too late.

As the sun rose to the highest point in the sky, Baron Edelman finally accepted the malice of fate, thanked the mentors for the consultation, and sent the City Guard soldiers to escort them away. Chief Mentor Deben Basten was the first to resign because of his age and a lot of mental shock, and Mentor Sinhari, the personal pharmacist of the City Lord's Mansion, also had to take the initiative to resign because of the wrong decision, and left with a depressed face with the rest of the instructors.

Only Merlin Avery refused to admit defeat and let fate take hold of him. While the alchemists were arguing about Lady Veronica's injury, he sat silently in the corner of the courtyard, with a thick stack of blank parchment in front of him, and discarded paper for deducing the cure was scattered all over the floor.

President Heldland did not leave, and after watching the figure of Chief Mentor Deben Basten disappear at the gate of the Lord's Mansion, he returned to the courtyard of flowing water, which was shrouded in silence, and picked up a few pieces of scrap paper with handwriting written on the table, and looked through them without saying a word.

Avery has a solid cultural foundation, and there are no mistakes in the spelling of the lingua franca and alchemy ciphertext, but it lacks the ornate fluency of aristocratic flowery characters, but has a concise and rigid feeling. This is a characteristic of academic alchemists, and it is rarely seen in alchemists who pass on secretly between master and apprentice.

The Iron Master is not like an academic alchemist. As Chief Mentor Deben Basten commented, if he had come from the alchemy academies of the city-states of the Empire, then even Coventry would have heard the name of this genius young man long ago.

What's more, behind him, there was also a quasi-grandmaster...... Or a real grandmaster?

President Helderland found himself afraid to assert.

Or because of the lack of experience and knowledge, Master Iron is not yet able to pass the qualification of a mentor, but President Heilderland firmly believes that as long as the young man is given five years...... Even in two or three years, he would definitely stand in that position that most alchemists would look up to.

Less than thirty years old, this is a genius who can shock the empire!

Avery suddenly dropped the quill in his hand, "This is it!" his voice broke the silence that shrouded the courtyard, "Lady Veronica has a special power, a power I have not seen or heard of, but it is definitely alchemy!

A maid hurried over. The servants in this courtyard were all instructed to do their best to meet all the needs of the Iron Master, and if the Iron Master made conditions that they could not meet, they went to the Dallas steward, and even to Baron Edelman himself, without delay.

"Iron Master, please command. ”

"I have to re-diagnose Madame Veronica, and I hope that only His Excellency the Baron will accompany me. With a flush of excitement on his face, Avery paced in place, flicking his fingers, "There's a possibility, a very big possibility...... Maybe the Alchemy Death has not yet been completely formed, but there is a force of a similar nature, which causes our judgment to be biased. ”

The maid's face showed a look of embarrassment, "This...... I beg your pardon, Iron Master, I will at once go to the steward of Dallas and relay your request to him, a matter which only His Excellency can decide. ”

Seeing the maid quickly running out of the courtyard, President Helderland stepped forward quickly, "Master Iron, if you allow me, I would like to be able to observe your diagnosis. ”

Avery looked back with some surprise, "The god of alchemy is above, I'm ...... Alas, my lord, what a rudeness, I didn't even see you by my side just now. ”

"As a fellow traveler obsessed with alchemy, I can fully understand you, and of course, I hope you will understand me. President Herderland replied with a grimace, his tone already mild, but unfortunately his serious expression made his words a little coercive. "Master Iron, I swear not to reveal any of your secrets, and I promise absolute silence during the course of the diagnosis. ”

Avery hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly. It was a performance, and he had hoped to have an important figure from the Apothecary's Guild by his side. Seeing the excitement in President Haldland's eyes, the young pharmacist couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he picked up a bottle of potion from the table and exchanged it with President Herderland in the name of asking for advice.
