The scene was slightly chaotic, but it immediately calmed down. Because the priests reacted quickly, the poison control was not bad, and it was quickly dispelled. However, there were still casualties. First of all, Carl's wife, Cassandra, could not be saved. Because she was too close, she was instantly killed by the poison. Then, of course, little Curt could not be saved either. The remaining people choked on the poison a few times and vomited a few mouthfuls of blood. Fortunately, the priests were there and quickly pulled them back.
"Reporting, Marshal. Our people are all fine." Legg also looked over. Because he was standing far away, the people on Li Huailin's side were not poisoned.
"Okay." Li Huailin nodded and walked to the side of the priest who was still saving people.
"Bishop." When the priest named Maser saw Li Huailin walking over, he immediately stood up to greet him. Because Li Huailin also had another identity, he was a cardinal of the Church of Light in the human empire. Of course, the priests here also had to greet Li Huailin. "I'm Maser, a second-level priest of the Church of Sardinla City."
Although Carl was considered a relatively famous wealthy merchant in Sardinla City, he was not a regular noble (he had only bought a lord), so the church had only sent a second-level priest to preside over the funeral. They did not expect such a big accident to happen. Fortunately, detoxification and healing were not high-level spells, and a second-level priest was just enough. Maser was obviously a little tired from casting too much, but overall, he could still control himself.
"What's going on? What poison is it?" Li Huailin asked.
"This … I can't tell." Maser shook his head. "Only an expert can tell."
"What expert?" Li Huailin asked.
"In the field of alchemy, they're more knowledgeable about poisons," Maser replied.
"Okay." Li Huailin nodded and thought for a moment before asking Legg, "That Master Alchemist called Ed is still in our mansion, right?"
Of course, Li Huailin was referring to the Master Alchemist, Ed, who had given him a few bottles of poison when he first entered the game. Previously, Li Huailin had also brought him to his house for research.
"Yes, Your Highness." Legg nodded. "It's just that he's a research maniac and spends most of his time in his lab."
"Go and bring him here immediately to check the situation," Li Huailin said.
"Yes."
There was nothing much to say. Legg immediately set off. In fact, it wasn't very slow. He just took the teleportation circle back to Li Huailin's Duke's Mansion and then brought Old Ed back. It only took 15 minutes for Legg to return.
"Really, didn't you say that you wouldn't disturb my research?" Old Ed looked like he had not slept for many days. No one knew what he was researching. He had heard about the situation from Legg along the way, but he still complained the moment he arrived.
"Do me a favor. This is quite important to me. See what poison is here," Li Huailin asked.
"Okay." Old Ed nodded and walked to the corpses of Cassandra and her son to take a look. Although the poison had been dispelled, no one dared to touch it, afraid that there would still be poison left. Old Ed was not afraid at all. After all, he was an Alchemist. Not to mention his resistance, even if he was poisoned, he was confident that he could immediately cure himself.
He flipped through the corpses slightly. Of course, the most important thing was Little Cotter's corpse. Old Ed frowned. It seemed that the situation was not good. Taking out an alchemy bottle, Old Ed collected a few things from Little Curt's stomach. Then he immediately began to experiment on the side. Li Huailin couldn't understand the process of the experiment at all.
After about five minutes, Old Ed stopped what he was doing.
"How is it?" Li Huailin asked.
"It's confirmed that it's a kind of insect poison," Old Ed said.
"Insect poison?" Li Huailin was slightly taken aback. He had already ruled out a lot of things. He was indeed an Alchemist.
"And it's a special kind of insect poison," Old Ed said again.
"In other words, it's directional." Li Huailin nodded. This was a good thing. He would immediately know the other party's identity.
"But this is a little troublesome." Old Ed frowned and said, "Look, this is different from the Poisonous Insect Gu used by ordinary Dark Warlocks. I've checked, and there are no traces of parasitism in the deceased's body. In other words, as long as this insect bites someone, it can turn them into a poison bomb. Moreover, this poison is also very terrifying. The woman who was implicated died instantly."
"So this insect is still here?" York's Castellan was sweating profusely when he heard this. He immediately shouted. The people around him were also shocked. They quickly looked around to see if there were any similar insects.
"No … the poison needs time to accumulate. In fact, I think this victim has been bitten for a long time. It just happened to act up today." Old Ed shook his head and said, "This is one of its strengths. It hid for so long without being discovered. This poisonous insect is very powerful."
"I understand. Now I know why Karl lied to me." Li Huailin nodded. It was obvious that Karl knew his son was bitten. That was why he listened to others and gave him a strange task. However, he still didn't know the other party's identity and goal. After thinking for a while, Li Huailin asked Old Ed, "Didn't you say that this poison is very special? Do you know the source? "
"You asked the right person." Old Ed laughed and said, "Most people wouldn't know about it, but I happened to hear about it. When I was young, I encountered this kind of poisonous insect. "
"Oh? Where did it come from? "Li Huailin immediately asked.
"From a tribe called Gangara," Old Ed said solemnly. Old Ed said seriously, "This is a very secretive tribe. Not many people have heard of them. Generally speaking, only alchemists have heard of them. This is because this tribe likes to cultivate all kinds of poisons, and these poisons are treasures to alchemists."
"Gangara …" Li Huailin nodded and said, "So this matter was done by this tribe called Gangara?"
"I really don't know. Didn't you guys say that this person is just a rich merchant? I really can't think of why this rich merchant would provoke the Gangara tribe. If it was an alchemist who stole their poisonous insects, it would be understandable. But a merchant … I really can't think of any connection between the two, "Old Ed said.
"Karl is still considered a dutiful merchant." York's Castellan immediately said, "I have never heard of him studying alchemy. It shouldn't be related to this tribe."
"Hmm, it seems like we need to visit this tribe." Li Huailin thought for a moment and said, "Do you know the location of this tribe?"
"This … I also want to know." Old Ed shook his head and said, "After all, I am also an alchemist. If I know the location of the Gangara tribe, I would like to go in and take a look. At the same time, I can bring back some poisons to study … Who knows, I might be able to create a new medicine."
"You don't know?" Li Huailin was slightly surprised and said, "Does anyone know?"
"This is troublesome. I have said before that this is a mysterious tribe. Not many people know about it. Those who know the location …" Old Ed shook his head.
"So troublesome." Li Huailin frowned and immediately said, "But this Karl should have been in contact with the people of the Gangara tribe. Since the people of the Gangara tribe are threatening him, of course, they are keeping an eye on him."
Thinking of this, Li Huailin suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to the guards beside him, "You said you are the guards here?"
"I am … Duke," one of the guards immediately stepped forward and asked.
"Has your family's master been looking for anyone that he wouldn't normally look for recently?" Li Huailin asked, "Or have there been any new servants in your mansion recently?"
"Eh?" The guard paused for a moment and said, "This … I don't see any unfamiliar people. Also, there are no new servants in the mansion …"
"But …" Suddenly, another guard behind the guard raised his hand and immediately lowered his voice.
"But what?" Li Huailin asked.
"That … Master has taken in a new wife …" The guard said nervously.
"Yes." The guard in front immediately said, "Third Madam is new. She just came recently, but this Third Madam is a little strange … She doesn't look like a local, and I don't know who Master is …"
"Not good, not good!" Just as they were talking, a man suddenly rushed into the hall and shouted.
"What's the matter?" Li Huailin immediately asked.
The servants here were also frightened. No matter who Li Huailin was, they directly shouted at him, "Third … Something happened to Third Madam. She died in the house!"
"Damn." Li Huailin facepalmed. "Something happened to her?"
"If this is the case, she might have committed suicide to escape punishment." Legg, who was behind, immediately came up and said to Li Huailin.
"What the f * ck." Li Huailin facepalmed. "But if you think that as long as you are dead, you will be able to shut your mouth completely. Anyway, as long as there is a corpse, I can make you speak."
"Your Highness, I will go over here to take a look," Legg immediately said.
"No need, I will go with you to see what is going on." Li Huailin said, "Continue to seal off the mansion here. No one is allowed to enter or leave, to prevent luring the tiger away from the mountain."
As he spoke, Li Huailin walked towards the side room.
