Chapter 531 - The Life Disintegrating Poison
"That poison is very interesting, indeed. It is made from thousands of toxins, so its toxicity is complicated. I think it is also mixed with water from the Spring of Life! No wonder the poison appears to be very strong and can"t be removed. The virus made from the water from the Spring of Life can constantly renew itself. Even if it is removed, it will regenerate."
Watson ignored Fawkes" words and stroked his chin.
His words stunned Fawkes. Thousands of toxins and the water of the Spring of Life? It sounded plausible. Did Watson really understand the healing arts? He seemed to have heard King Landhar III introduce Watson. In addition to calling Watson the future heir, he also said he was the kingdom"s number one genius.
"I did not ask you about the characteristics of the poison but whether you could cure it."
"It"s not difficult for me to cure that poison."
Watson nodded. He only needed the fusion system if he wanted to cure that poison. Even without that, he could extract the poison from his blood after obtaining the G.o.d of Poison"s remains.
"Since you can get rid of it, I"ll leave the residents to you! Before leaving, the Elven King had threatened the lives of the city"s residents. It seemed like he really hated me. However, he definitely did not expect Watson to be here." He waved his hand at Fawkes, indicating that he should be treated first.
"Your Majesty, can the boy named Watson really do it? My condition is not particularly serious. Two of my subordinates have already become puppets. Should I let them receive treatment first?"
After hesitating for a moment, Fawkes gritted his teeth and asked that. He still did not believe in Watson"s ability.
"Okay, then let your two subordinates try it first." King Landhar III saw through Fawkes"s thoughts and agreed to it.
"Men, bring my two guards whose brains have been corroded by the poison."
Two guards in wheelchairs were quickly brought forward with the help of their companions. The guards" bodies had turned into puppets, with wooden veins appearing on their bodies; even half of their heads were covered in pale green gra.s.s. The poison caused their eyes to look in different directions. Their mouths were wide open, and saliva continued to drop from their mouths. They made a humming sound, looking very dull.
"What kind of poison is that? It"s also contagious. The Elven Kingdom actually released such poison into the city? Are they trying to use the water to spread the poison and pollute the entire kingdom?"
Some of the n.o.blemen standing behind King Landhar III could not help but complain when they saw the miserable state of the two guards.
Their bodies had turned into wood, and plants grew on them. They had turned into dumb, motionless plants. When they thought of that scene, many people felt their bodies turn cold, and gooseb.u.mps appeared on their bodies.
"It"s a good thing that we came here and chased away the elves. Otherwise, when the Elven Kingdom takes over more cities and sprinkles that poison into the lakes, we"ll be finished."
Some n.o.blemen complained while the rest patted their chests, showing a relieved expression.
While they were talking, Watson saw the two guards in front of him, and a look of pity appeared in his eyes. He subconsciously reached out with his right hand and activated the fusion system.
"Fusion system, activate."
[Congratulations, Master, for fusing two sets of platinum-tier Marionette poison. You have obtained a diamond-tier poison, Life Disintegrating Poison.]
Following the sound of the fusion system, the gra.s.s that grew on the two guards naturally fell off and turned into light in mid-air. The pale green light under the guards" skin also dissipated, and the pale green blood returned to red.
The guards" eyes, originally in a daze, instantly widened. At that moment, they were at a loss as they touched their cheeks, their faces filled with surprise and confusion.
"The vegetative skin on my face is gone, and the dullness in my brain has also disappeared. How did this happen? Has the poison in my body been cured?"
"It really cured the poison."
Fawkes, who was watching that scene from the side, was also stunned. He gasped. Over the past two days, he had endured a lot of torture because of the poison. Someone else had tried to treat the poison, but they had died instead. So, he was fearful of the poison. He did not expect Watson to cure it so easily.
King Landhar III and the other ministers appeared much calmer. They had already seen Watson"s many outstanding skills.
Watson had created underwater pa.s.sageways that led to all regions of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, and he could also turn people into gold-tier elites with just a sip of that water. Would a mere platinum-tier poison be so hard to cure for him?
Under everyone"s astonished gazes, Watson raised his hand and placed the diamond-tier Life Disintegration Poison in his hand.
It was a ball of green foam-like poison. The foam constantly evaporated and expanded, disappearing into the air and continuously forming. It seemed like it would never disappear completely. Just looking at the appearance of the foam gave people an exquisite sense of beauty. No one would have thought that that foam was poison.
[Diamond-tier poison: Life Disintegrating Poison.]
[Effect: once it comes into contact with a living being, it will cause an irreversible collapse and disintegrate into an energy factor that can be absorbed. Its effect on diamond-tier and above elites will be weakened.]
"The effect of this poison is not bad. Even if it is a poison contained in the G.o.d of Poison"s blood, few can surpa.s.s it," Watson said with satisfaction, putting the Life Disintegrating Poison into his mouth and swallowing it.
"Your Majesty, I did not expect that Watson would be able to cure the Marionette Poison. No wonder you chose him to become the future king. To have such a deep understanding of the healing arts at such a young age is truly amazing! Since His Highness Watson has cured two of my subordinates, it"s time for him to treat me."
Fawkes extended his arm to Watson in a fawning manner.
The fortress city was quite far from the royal city. It was located at the Holy Dragon Kingdom"s border, so information was kept secret there. Unless magical devices were used, most news from the royal city would take ten days to half a month to reach there. Magical devices were usually used to convey important news, such as the enemy"s invasion. There was also the news about the Royal Academy"s tournament and Watson becoming the strongest genius in the kingdom. The fortress city heard some of the news, but no one took it too seriously.
Their definition of the kingdom"s genius was quite outdated. As long as one advanced to gold-tier in their teens, they would be considered a genius. They had never seen it with their own eyes, so it was hard to imagine how powerful the kingdom"s genius was. It was understandable that they had been worried about whether Watson could remove the poison.
Watson thought it was funny to see Fawkes" change of heart. So, he said, "Well, you said to treat those severely poisoned first. Even His Majesty had agreed.. So, I"ll treat someone else first since your symptoms are not severe."
