The oil lamp was extinguished, but strangely, the room gradually brightened up.
The moonlight outside the window slowly shone in and fell on the carpet.
Vanderman sat quietly on the chair with a complicated expression on his face.
"The Royal Family still has us, and the three departments! We can't lose! "He muttered confidently.
In a forest far away from the manor, a man in a black robe walked out from a shadowy corner. It was Dong Sai.
He turned around and looked at the Trejons Manor.
"You and I have done our best, Vanderman."
"You didn't succeed?" A black shadow walked out from another shadowy corner. "I knew it, that old man has his eyes set on the Royal Alliance. He was once indebted to the first prince of Kovitan when his family was in trouble, and swore to be loyal to the Royal Family and never betray them. How could it be so easy to get him to defect? "
"It's fine if you didn't succeed, but for my sake, don't pursue this matter." Dong Sai said calmly.
"Up to you, but the branch was already dissatisfied with Vanderman, and now they even gave up on you, his only old friend. His life will be difficult in the future."
"That's his own decision. Let's go. "Dong Sai replied calmly.
The two of them walked into the shadowy corner where the moonlight couldn't reach, and disappeared silently.

In the two days at the camp, Cia seemed to be frightened by the blue-scaled snake. He stayed in the tent with a pale face, and didn't go to Aquarius to please her.
Only Prynne, Marlene and a few of his friends came to accompany him from time to time. Garon didn't even participate in the hunting, and only said that he wasn't feeling well.
But everyone knew that he was frightened by the blue-scaled snake. He was almost bitten by the blue-scaled snake. Facing such a deadly poisonous snake, anyone who was walking on the line between life and death would have to take their time. No one doubted him.
Plus, Acacia was spoiled since he was young, so it was normal for him to have such a reaction.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Garon brought Ulun and expanded the area to search for all kinds of herbs. He didn't know much, after all, it wasn't a medical book that specialized in memorizing. He only knew a small amount of herbs, but it was enough.
He walked through everything within a radius of a thousand meters. Two days passed by just like that. Soon, it was time for them to return. Garon finally dug out all the medicinal herbs that he could find.
Amejade Grass, Hundred Thorn Grass, Giant Roc Flower. These were the three medicinal herbs that he had found on this trip. Most of them were over a thousand years old. The people here obviously treated them as ordinary weeds. In some places, one could even vaguely see herbs that had been trampled by footprints.
Garon estimated that if these herbs could be successfully made into medicinal decoctions, it would be enough for him to concoct three batches. It was a pity that there were still many supplementary medicines that had yet to be found. The specific effects of the medicines were still unknown.
He filled all of the exquisite wooden boxes used to store food with soil. He divided the herbs into many small boxes and planted them as if they were potted plants.
*****
At the driveway in front of the woods in the early morning
Several carriages were parked on both sides of the road. Guards in black and white stood in groups of twos and threes, chatting with each other.
Beside the carriage, Prynne was instructing some of the guards to move the prey they had hunted onto the carriage. The rest of the young ladies were standing at the side, chatting and laughing.
Aquarius stood under the shade of a large tree, watching the crowd move the picnic utensils onto the carriage. Her gaze fell on the black carriage of the Trejons family. There, a few guards were carrying a stack of exquisite wooden boxes onto the carriage.
Looking at the Trejons family's coat of arms, the results of the previous test floated into her mind.
She hesitated for a moment, but still looked not far away, at a guard in white standing beside the carriage.
With a flick of her finger, a blue dot flashed on the tip of her finger.
The curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted, and a female guard in white came down. The two of them whispered a few words to each other, and then walked over together.
Aquarius hesitated for a moment, then calmed herself down, as if she had made a decision. She walked up to the two guards.
Garon sat in the carriage, carefully placing all the wooden boxes in the corner, and secured them with a rope. He lifted the curtain and saw Aquarius whispering something to two of her own guards.
His heart was slightly moved.
"Could it be that the two blue-scaled snakes from before …" He could vaguely feel that the scent of the two snakes was somewhat similar to the scent of Aquarius. Or rather, it was the scent. "If it was really man-made … then the biggest possibility is Aquarius."
He squinted his eyes, his hand gently stroking the wooden boxes on the side.
"The blue-scaled snake's speed and venom are very strong, I'm not a martial artist who specializes in speed and technique, at most I can deal with two of them. If there are more, I can only avoid them. I can only wait until the medicine is ready, and recover some strength before making any plans. "
According to his estimation, a normal Luminarist would be at least C rank, and this was the average threat level. If they were to go all out, they might even reach the level of B rank. Just like the Luminarist who fought with his teacher Emin, his final burst was definitely at the level of B rank. This was just a normal Luminarist, not to mention the higher ranks.
"Now I have to quickly improve my physical fitness and recover my strength, only then can I speed up my learning of Luminarists!" Garon recalled the details of the attack, and was even more certain that it was man-made. And the only one who had the ability to arrange such an attack, among the people here, was Aquarius.
"I'll remember this …" Garon lowered the curtain.
*****
Back at the Trejons manor.
Garon noticed that Vanderman's mood seemed to have worsened recently.
According to the housekeeper, it seemed that Vanderman received a letter once, and that was why his mood was affected.
He had some doubts in his heart, if it could affect Vanderman, then it must be something related to Luminarists.
But Garon didn't think too much about it, at this time, no matter how much he planned, it was not as useful as improving his own strength.
In this chaotic era, his own strength was the biggest support.
He simply cultivated and processed all the herbs he brought back, but these steps took him three days. In the middle, because he wasn't familiar with it, he broke some of the roots of the herbs, which made his heart ache.
Then, according to the ancient prescription, Garon began to weigh and mix the herbs together. He divided them into packets and packed them.
Finally, it was time to use them for the medicinal bath.
This time, he gathered the herbs with great difficulty, and managed to mix them together into an ancient prescription called Body Enhancement Fluid.
Its origin was unknown, but its effect was very simple: strengthen the body, and greatly nourish the body. It just needed to be boiled over a medium fire for a whole day.
Garon hid in his little house, and carefully boiled it over a fire for a whole day, constantly adding water to prevent it from drying out. He only stopped when the liquid showed a sticky, turbid light green color.
The whole house was filled with a slightly pungent smell of medicinal soup.
All the servants and maids were chased out by him, and he did everything himself. It was to keep it a secret. As for Vanderman, this cheap father left early and returned late every day, so he only stayed in the manor in the morning and the night. But there was a strange smell in the house, and the servants didn't know what he was doing, let alone Vanderman.
After returning from the picnic, Garon spent a total of five days, and finally boiled all the herbs into three small bottles of dark green ointment.
*****
Garon asked the servants to bring the bathtub into his room, and poured hot water in. Then, he closed the curtains and heated the fireplace.
The towel and bath lotion were placed in a wooden basin, and sent in.
"Alright, alright, get out!" Garon urged.
"Don't you need us to add hot water?" An old maid asked in surprise.
"No need. I'll do it myself. "
"Alright then, Young Master Cia, be careful, don't fall asleep in the tub." The maid reminded him carefully.
"Got it, Anna." Garon nodded, "Don't disturb me, I need to gather inspiration in the bath!"
When Acacia's poem was mentioned, even the maid Anna, who had watched Acacia grow up, couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over her body.
"Then I'll go out first, take your time to gather inspiration." She squeezed out a smile, and then called the other servants and maids to leave the room one by one, and gently closed the door.
Garon walked over, and hung the chain with a click.
The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and the only sound left in the room was the crackling of firewood.
Garon carefully walked to the desk, and took out a palm-sized dark green glass bottle from the drawer. He shook it lightly, and a thick, honey-like green liquid rippled inside.
He walked to the bathtub, twisted open the glass cap, and tilted the bottle slightly.
Splash!
The thick liquid dripped into the clear hot water. Like ink dripping into clear water, it quickly dyed the hot water into a light green color.
He poured the entire bottle in, and washed the bottle with hot water to make sure there was no residue. Garon then took off his clothes, stepped on the stool, and stepped into the bathtub.
His body was completely immersed in the hot water, and other than the pungent smell of the medicine, it was no different from a normal hot bath.
Garon took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and suddenly plunged his entire head into the water.
With a splash of water, all the sounds around him seemed to be covered by a thick layer of cloth, and became abnormally distant and quiet.
Garon recalled the notes on the ancient recipe, and crossed his index fingers on his arms, forming a posture similar to hugging his arms. His whole body was immersed in the water, and his chest and abdomen began to expand and contract, then expand and contract.
This was the most basic breathing method of the Divine Statue Technique. It was used to build the foundation, and train the blood and skin. The only thing was that he didn't need the help of the medicine before, but now Garon had the help of the body fluid.
His whole body was immersed in the water, and from time to time, he would take a deep breath, and then continue. His body didn't feel anything strange.
Instead, the hot water around him was getting hotter, as if there was a fire under him that was constantly heating the water. The entire bathwater was getting hotter and hotter.
The light green in the water was getting lighter and clearer.
On the other hand, Garon's skin was slowly showing a light green color.
"Splash."
Garon came out of the water for the fifth time, wiped the water off his face, and opened his eyes.
"It's getting hotter and hotter … As expected of the body fluid. According to the ancient recipe, the body fluid is one of the basic medicinal liquids to cultivate the legendary Myriad Poison Jasper Body. It's a pity that the Myriad Poison Jasper Body has been lost, and this medicinal liquid can only strengthen the body. "He sighed regretfully. The Myriad Poison Jasper Body was a divine technique that was similar to the platinum statue of the Divine Statue Technique, but its specialty wasn't in defense and recovery, but in poison. It could make one immune to poison and prolong one's life.
According to the Divine Statue Technique's breathing method, he didn't know how effective it would be if he kept absorbing the medicinal liquid. While circulating the breathing method, he had to focus all his attention, so he didn't have time to pay attention to the changes in his Attribute Pane.
When he looked at the light red Attribute Pane at the bottom of his vision again, he was slightly surprised.
The Attribute Pane had silently improved as a whole.
