The servant’s expression cracked..
His twitching mouth tried to say something, but he couldn't say it because of the other servants who came inside..
Meantime.
Roman Dmitry savored the tea.
He ate snacks that he normally wouldn't touch, one by one, and showed no trace of caution..
However, no dramatic change occurred..
The servants quickly cleaned up the place and went out, and Roman Dmitry, who was drinking the remaining tea, opened the door and felt the presence of someone inside..
“What on earth is this? Did you know what was in it and drink it so carelessly?!”
It was a servant who had just left..
A man named Greg, to be exact, spoke with an expression stained with embarrassment and anger..
sudden warning.
There was a possibility that he might not trust me.
However, it was natural for a normal person, regardless of whether they trusted him or not, to be wary of the idea that he might be poisoned..
But Roman Dmitry drank the tea without a moment of hesitation..
He took a risk and told the truth, but the bottomless teacup proved meaningless..
Tuk.
I put down the teacup.
Roman Dmitry looked at Greg with a calm face..
“I knew from the beginning that Barbossa mainly used poison. And, poison doesn't work on me..”
“……what is that.”
The moment you drink tea.
The poisonous energy spread throughout the body..
It showed a tendency to poison the body, and it took over the body so secretly that even aura swordsmen who manipulate mana did not notice the presence of the poison..
Barbossa's weapon was definitely powerful..
If you drink this acid poison the day before, the situation will already be irreversible by the time you go on stage..
Poison that is not evident on the surface.
It was a lethal force.
When you complain about something strange later, you won't be able to come up with an excuse because your head will be blown off by Barbossa's sword..
however.
The opponent is Roman Dmitry..
Due to the rapid development of the body, most poisons became impervious to it, and after accepting the flames of fire, it was no wonder that it was called a state of invulnerability to all poisons..
The flames of the fire burned away all the energy in Roman Dmitry's body that he considered to be a 'foreign substance'..
No impurities were allowed at all, and thanks to this, the Qi was kept pure and at the same time, the poison was engulfed in fire as soon as it was consumed..
the heat inside.
The heat flowing from the esophagus made Barbossa's plan useless..
It was a truth that Greg could not know..
The astonished face asked why he drank it even though he knew the truth, but Roman Dmitry did not give the answer..
“If you really want to help me. Can you prove that someone tried to poison me with the ingredients left in the teacup??”
“……It is possible, but the problem is time. Barbossa doesn't use poison on the eve for nothing. Those in the know know that Barbossa deals with 'poison', but there is no way to prove that the poison was used the day before until the main stage is over. If you give up the fight with Barbossa because you doubt whether it is poisonous or not. Barbossa dominates public opinion and accuses his opponents of being cowards. Refusing a fight in Valhalla is dishonorable regardless of the reason, so no one will listen even if you present the evidence. However, Barbossa's sword is not easy to go up on stage and prove the result..”
Barbossa was clever.
The day before.
He cornered his opponent..
To drink poison or not to drink poison.
It was beneficial for Barbossa..
If the opponent who was wary of the poison could not eat anything and spent the night with open eyes, that was exactly what Barbossa wanted..
To somehow undermine the opponent's condition.
Barbossa's swordsmanship, known as the Twelve Swords of the Continent, was capable of completely overwhelming the opponent with just that difference in degree..
He was an outsider..
In what would normally be an inevitable situation, Roman Dmitry took the bold step of drinking poison..
Roman Dmitry stood up..
“Until the main stage ends tomorrow. Prove that there was poison in this teacup. If you get the results I want, you will get the results you want too..”
I didn't hear an answer.
took a step.
If you openly used poison, now it was your turn to use that fact as an excuse to attack your opponent..
* * *
Servants carrying refreshments.
One of them bowed his head to a man and spoke in a hushed voice..
“Roman Dmitry took poison. Since he even ate the sweets, he must have been poisoned..”
“okay?”
identity of the man.
He was a butler who oversaw the external guests..
Contrary to his straight appearance, he stroked his gray beard and smiled sinisterly..
“Stupid guy. He seemed complacent ahead of the showdown. This is the end of Dmitry's fame..”
this mission.
I judged that there was a high possibility of failure..
Roman Dmitry was a very unexpected character, and even on the battlefield he showed himself to be a wise man, so it was not easy to poison him before the confrontation..
But is it because his subordinate won the eve festival?.
It was easier than I thought, and I ended up making the careless mistake of drinking poison..
It was then.
The butler gave him a bag of gold coins and turned around, when a familiar figure burst into the kitchen where the butler was..
“Are you the general manager of this place??”
“Yes, I…….”
sudden.
Kwasik!
“Wow.”
The butler's face was smashed against the wall..
Roman Dmitry held his opponent's hair and looked down at his blood-covered face..
“The servants here just fed me poisoned tea. If you are the general manager who governs them, you cannot escape that responsibility. What poison did you give me? Also, did Barbossa order to be poisoned??”
“Oh no! What do you mean? I have nothing to do with it!”
The butler's face turned pale..
no way.
I didn't know it was poisonous and that they would come to me so recklessly..
First of all, I got out of the way..
If he emphasized the fact that he was just a deacon, Roman Dmitry thought there was nothing he could do about it..
“No, it's not irrelevant. If it were irrelevant, there would be no reason for the servants to take gold from you..”
Wow.
slapped me.
The deacon's eyes widened and he stumbled as if he would collapse for a moment, but the cruel hands did not let go of his body..
Even if gold coins have no special meaning.
It is not unrelated to the fact that servants receive confirmation from the butler before serving food and that the person who welcomes the servants here is the butler..
There is no reason to feel unfair..
The compensation and duties received as a person in charge are not areas that can be excused by saying that one is irrelevant..
“If you really feel unfair. Call someone who can take responsibility for this situation..”
“……Well, that's.”
hesitating eyes.
gave confidence to violence.
The meaning of the momentary hesitation is probably due to anxiety that something may have gone wrong rather than the gravity of this incident..
From then on.
didn't say anything.
Wow.
slapped me.
When someone hears this commotion, please come and find me..
Let Tails appear, trying to somehow diffuse the situation..
Roman Dmitry did not turn around and go.
Just as the opponent openly used poison, he openly used violence and brutally pointed out the opponent's mistakes..
It was as expected.
In order not to make a big situation out of it.
In the end, the tail had no choice but to show itself..
* * *
“Stop now! What on earth is this?!”
It was Viscount Jonatan..
His face, with traces of violence evident, showed embarrassment at the situation in front of him..
Moment.
Roman Dmitry laughed..
If Viscount Jonatan was the tail, it meant that beyond it were Marquis Belfir and Barbossa..
widely.
I let go of my hand.
Roman Dmitry wiped the blood from his hands, leaving the butler barely breathing..
“The servants here just gave me poison. And, as if praising the servants, the butler gave them a bag of gold coins. Viscount Jonathan. What do you think about this? I am convinced that they were ordered by someone and poisoned them to disrupt the festival stage..”
“That can't be possible! Don't disgrace Valhalla!”
cried Viscount Jonatan..
In the words of Roman Dmitry.
his heart sank.
Barbossa's Poison.
It can never be discovered using normal methods..
It is colorless and odorless, and because it slowly dissipates mana, the effect does not appear immediately..
But what the hell.
How did you find out?.
Despite his heart pounding frantically, Viscount Jonatan looked confident..
“The festival of Valhalla is a sacred stage! If something like that happens, we will actively investigate the truth and severely punish it. But Roman Dmitry. It is too much speculation to say that the butler used poison. We use a magic tool to detect poison before serving food to our guests. But what makes you so sure that tea is poisonous??”
drove the situation.
avoiding responsibility.
Conversely, he criticized the other person..
“If there is no poison in this tea. Roman Dmitry, can you handle that responsibility? This matter is not simple. It is a disgrace to Valhalla, and it is a problem that cannot be ignored no matter how precious a guest it is. If you have any doubts, just pretend the festival stage never happened. I will personally report to His Majesty the Emperor and bring another warrior to the stage on Roman Dmitry's behalf..”
It was the next best option.
If Roman Dmitry avoids confrontation.
We will proceed with one of our original plans and frame Roman Dmitry as a 'coward'..
truth?
no problem.
In any case, Valhalla manages all the investigators and evidence, so how can they prove the existence of poison?.
Roman Dmitry is not allowed to reveal the truth to the citizens of Valhalla..
The reason Barbossa has always been able to win is because he is on the side of the powerful..
however.
Roman Dmitry had a different reaction than expected..
“The stage will proceed as scheduled. But I have no intention of just ignoring today's events. Viscount Jonathan. If you prove the existence of poison, then you will have to take responsibility for what you said to me..”
Through this.
The problem of poison has risen to the surface..
At the sight of Roman Dmitry taking a step back, Viscount Jonatan felt a strange sense of foreboding, unlike his relaxed face..
* * *
series of events.
It was reported to Marquis Belfir and made known to Barbossa..
“Roman Dmitry found out about the existence of the poison. Is it okay though?.”
Marquis Belfir's question.
Barbossa's face was revealed in the light..
A smile appeared on his snake-like face..
“Marquis Belfir. Do you know why I prefer that poison? It is a different concept from general poison. People who are first addicted to the poison run wild without knowing what the problem is due to the weak effect, but soon their faces turn pale and their feet are on fire due to the mana-scattering effect. Roman Dmitry is in the same context. He doesn't know how he discovered the colorless, odorless poison, but he is now convinced that it doesn't have much effect..”
Sanggongdog.
It was a well-known name in Moorim..
However, on the Salamander Continent, it was Barbossa who created the new concept of mountain attack poison..
Whirling.
widely.
I put the dagger on the table..
Barbossa spoke confidently, revealing his cold murderous spirit..
“Even if you are not poisoned. What are you worried about? Even if he defeated Morales overwhelmingly, that doesn't mean he's on equal footing with me. I will prove it in front of people. The difference between 12th and 6th place in Valhalla. It does not simply mean six steps, but an overwhelming difference that cannot be dared to look up. As always. trust me.”
“As expected, it’s trustworthy..”
Marquis Belfir laughed..
Barbossa.
A faithful dog of progressives.
In that case, he was the perfect person to decorate the finale of this plan..
It was a noisy night starting from the eve..
That's how the day ended.
But the next day.
The festival everyone was looking forward to got heated up early in the morning due to a rumor..
