344. Turning the Bomb 2
A one-week long contest to select the next master.
“Fuck Poison! poison!”
“Wow! Quack!”
It is not easy for the candidates to eat a meal because assassinations and raids are taking place every day to make the opponent candidate a patient.
“Shouldn’t we at least let the kids eat their breakfast freely?”
Doradel, who was worse off, called the submasters and his children at 8:00 am to have breakfast together.
‘No matter how crazy he is, he won’t attack me while having dinner with the master.’
‘If that happens, I’ll be out right away…’
So the submasters didn’t attack the opponent as much as breakfast, but Dail took advantage of that and decided to use poison at breakfast.
‘There’s no problem without getting caught.’
This time, the poison potion obtained through Kang Seung-hyeon was not effective immediately, but rather after a certain period of time.
“Do it without mistakes.”
“All right.”
Da-il handed the poison potion to the cook he had recruited in advance and left as if nothing had happened.
-“Good morning, Doradel.”
“Are you safe?”
Time flies, 8:00 am.
The submasters and their children, the candidates for the next master, gathered in the central restaurant of the Mage Tower and greeted Doradel in the morning.
“Did everyone sleep well?”
“Huh… I’m sleepy because I haven’t slept much.”
“You should have gone to bed earlier.”
“No, I wanted to sleep, but everyone suddenly woke me up to play cards…”
And Kang Seung-hyun’s gang, who were not members of the Lofiarmus family or members of the Mage Tower, but became important figures in the Golden Mage Tower, also appeared at the restaurant, hanging around.
“I thought Kim Ho-jung lost on purpose because he didn’t like you.”
“Who would do that… Cheolhyeon-ah, why are you raising your hand?”
“Stop talking and sit down.”
Starting with Kang Seung-hyun, who was the first to sit down even though he was not a master, they began to sit down one by one.
lunar lunar.
Soon the staff started bringing plates of food to the table.
“….”
Some of these are poisonous soup prepared by Dail.
Dalgrak Dalgrak.
Of course, they all looked the same on the outside and tasted the same, but Dail could tell what the poisonous soup was.
‘Sprinkle an odd number of herb leaves over the soup.’
It was a device prepared for distinction in case you forgot or made a mistake while serving.
In fact, of the soup served at the meal, only four bowls were sprinkled with herb leaves in odd numbers, and those four bowls were placed intact in the seats of the candidates except for Alligan.
No one present noticed that, and the candidates took the soup to their mouths without hesitation.
‘This is enough.’
Dail, who watched the whole process, continued eating with a satisfied face.
‘Intoxication symptoms appear two days later. After fighting hard for two days, get together in bed and watch my son become the next Master.’
After that, time continued to pass, and the salad or main dish was taken away, and finally, dessert was served, and the meal of the day was about to end.
“Coke!”
Suddenly Doradell coughed.
“Collock Coke!”
“Doradel!”
“Are you okay?”
It’s not just a cough, it’s hemoptysis mixed with blood.
Doradel’s complexion turned pale in an instant, convulsions began to form throughout his body, and his breathing became rough.
“Oh maybe it’s good? What’s happening?”
“Have you eaten something wrong?”
“You fools! How did you cook?”
“Papa, quick healer!”
While the people who saw it panicked and screamed and shouted,
‘Huh…?’
Dail couldn’t even make a sound.
-Approximately 1 hour has elapsed since the meal started.
– Sudden hemoptysis.
– Severe convulsions throughout the body.
-Rough breathing due to difficulty in breathing.
‘Is this by any chance?’
It was the same as the symptoms of mead mushroom poisoning seen in the herbal medicine book.
‘What the hell happened?’
Da-il’s expression hardened.
‘Could some idiot mistakenly poison Grandpa’s meal?’
But it makes no sense.
‘Even if that’s the case, there’s no way the symptoms will appear right now!’
Obviously, he made poison made from mead mushrooms, but it was a deteriorating version that delayed the symptoms of poisoning by two days after mixing red orchid.
‘Even if symptoms appear, it would be right to show them two days later.’
In fact, the nieces and nephews enjoy the poisoned soup, but all is well.
‘Why are you vomiting blood right now!’
At that time, Da-il was confused for a different reason than the people around him.
“Calm down for now.”
Kang Seung-hyun, who was sitting right next to Doradel, calmed the crowd and examined the patient’s body.
“Hey Healer!”
“yes! Kang Seung-hyun was there, right?”
“please! Please save Doradel!”
The people gathered clung to Kang Seung-hyeon half in relief and half in tears.
“I’m not sure, but looking at the symptoms, I think it’s a ‘mid-a mushroom’. It is a poisonous mushroom that causes muscle spasms all over the body while vomiting blood.”
“Mid-A mushroom?”
“Is there an antidote?”
“It’s not that there’s no antidote, but if you don’t feed it within three to five minutes of symptoms appearing, you’ll die of respiratory distress.”
“Then I will use breathing aid magic!”
“hurry up, please.”
The wizards moved busily and started drawing a magic circle.
In the meantime, Kang Seung-hyun received the ingredients along with the potion making kit and started making an antidote.
“It is done.”
“hurry! Come on!”
“Heh heh…”
“This will not affect your life, but even if you take the antidote for mead mushroom poison, you will have to stay in bed for a few days.”
Afterwards, while using the antidote Kang Seung-hyun had completed on Doradel, he was about to give simple precautions.
“Hey, look at me for a second.”
“I see.”
Dail called Kang Seung-hyun with a stiff face.
As if he had expected it, Kang Seung-hyeon nodded obediently and followed Da-il.
– “Thank you for saving my grandfather.”
“It was nothing. It’s definitely something you have to do.”
“By the way…”
The two headed to Dail’s room.
It was the place where the two had a secret conversation this morning.
“I knew you were a shameless human being, but I didn’t expect you to be like this.
“What are you talking about?”
“You’re the one who fed my grandfather mead mushrooms!”
bang!
As for Dail, the moment Kang Seung-hyeon mentioned mead mushrooms, Dail came to mind.
‘Oh, can I keep the leftover mushrooms?’
‘It’s hard to find and expensive.’
That Kang Seung-hyeon, who was leaving the room, took all the leftover mead mushrooms.
“This was my intention from the beginning.”
“hmm.”
“This is going to be hard for you to just go through. If I inform the Master of this…”
“I am saying this because you seem to be misunderstanding something.”
Kang Seung-hyun smiled and patted Da-il on the shoulder.
“Will people believe that?”
“what?”
“Dail-nim brought mead mushrooms from the magic tower’s medicine room, right?”
Seunghyun Kang smiled and took out something.
It was a record of visits to the apothecary and an inventory log.
“As proof of that, if you check the history of visits to the apothecary, there is a record that Da-il visited this morning, and if you look at the stock log, you can see that the stock of mead mushrooms has decreased since Da-il went.”
No matter how much Kang Seung-hyeon claims that he took the mead mushrooms, the record of his visit to the apothecary only says that Dail took them.
“By the way, I made up an alibi for not sleeping in my room with my colleagues this morning and playing cards… so don’t think of accusing me of being an accomplice.”
I gave a rough explanation to my colleagues in advance, and the Mage Tower spies have even completed memory manipulation through self-hypnosis brainwashing that Kang Seung-hyun was there.
“So the culprit is not me, but Dail.”
Kang Seung-hyun framed him in a very subtle way and made him an assassination attempt.
That is also the attempted assassination of the Mage Tower master.
“Do not be ridiculous! Why am I killing the Master!”
“Of course, everyone knows you didn’t do it on purpose.”
“what?”
“You’re probably thinking, ‘That stupid human accidentally poisoned Doradell’s food while trying to feed another candidate.'”
Even if Dail found out about the false accusation, there would be no one to clear it up.
Whether it’s true or not, the other submasters won’t miss the chance to screw up Dail.
“Congratulations on being the world’s idiot who tried to poison your grandfather while trying to harm your nieces and nephews.”
“You fucking bastard!”
Knock!
Dail grabbed Seunghyun Kang by the collar.
“What am I saying!”
“I came with three people, but they gave me a two-person room. Wouldn’t they give you a cold meal and stop using the oven? Wouldn’t they invade someone else’s village and try to steal the Magic Association, etc.”
“No, other guys besides me did the same, so why are you only doing this to me!”
“Actually, someone has a big grudge against you.”
“Whoa grudge?”
“Think of it as retaliation for that.”
Perhaps Da-il doesn’t even know the name of the wizard who bullied his daughter for a favor.
It wouldn’t have felt worth remembering.
“Why, damn it… Damn it!”
Da-il sat down on the floor with his legs undone.
The next master has passed the water, and he has to worry about everything right now.
“It wasn’t enough that he planned to poison the candidate at a dinner hosted by the Master, so he accidentally attempted to assassinate the Master… 100% execution confirmed.”
Here, 50% was false, but 50% was also true, so it was fatal that I could not properly protest.
“Since the situation is the situation, of course you and your children will go with you.”
“No no! Even if I am, what sins are our children guilty of!”
Of course, those kids also have a truckload of sins, but I didn’t bother to mention it.
“Then can I save you?”
“What…?”
Instead, he brought out the real purpose of doing this.
“I have a lot of questions about this. If you answer me honestly, I’ll save you.”
