Hestein was carefully placed on a big bed by Lily. His rough body seemed a little out of place with the velvet spread on the bed. Even in a coma, he was frowning tightly - in fact, Ai
La had never seen him smile before. The face that allowed his beard to grow wildly was either expressionless, or his brows were tightly knitted like this, as if he was holding something between his eyebrows.
.
Ella temporarily placed the golden cup beside his bed. Due to the candlelight, the venom reacted, causing the liquid in the cup to tumble slightly.
The words of the woman in white slightly wavered Ella's determination: If the Seven Hills Empire had also plundered other countries, what reason would she have to blame Hestein?
But this wavering only happened for a moment. Ella quickly took a deep breath and muttered to herself in front of the bed:
"Hestein, if you can plunder the Seven Hills Empire, that's because of my incompetence."
"But I still hate you. You don't need to know what is right and wrong to hate someone. You saved me from my uncle, I thank you; you wantonly play with women, I hate you; you want to possess me, then
I will have to kill you."
"You are a good general. If you were not a pirate, I might let you command my army. But someone told me that you once worshiped Hunter Mistertin as your disciple, and it was you who ran back to the pirate kingdom.
You have chosen this path to become a pirate - if that's the case, then even if you are poisoned by me here, you won't have any complaints?"
After saying that, Ella picked up the golden cup again and slowly brought the rim of the cup to Hestein's lips.
However, just when she was about to pour the liquid in the cup into Hestein's throat, Hunter Mistertin suddenly broke in. Ella was startled and almost spilled the entire cup of soup on the bed.
Hunter Mistertin noticed Ella.
"You purple robe..." He hesitated and asked, "Are you a doctor?"
Ella was afraid of revealing her fault by saying too much, so she just nodded in reply.
"What medicine is in the cup?"
This time she couldn't keep silent. Ella avoided Hunter Mistertin's gaze and replied in a low voice: "It's just a decoction to help restore physical strength.
From the moment Hunter Mistertin walked in, his eyes blended in with the wrinkles on his face, as if he hadn't woken up. But Ella could feel his sharp gaze going up and down.
looked at him.
"I've also been feeling a little tired recently. Give me a dose later."
Mistettin's words made Ella breathe a sigh of relief. But before he could let go of his worries, Hunter Mistertin suddenly reached out to Ella again and motioned for Ella to hand over the gold cup to him.
On hand.
Although his heart was beating fast, Ella understood that refusing here would only increase his suspicion, so he had to hand over the cup honestly. Fortunately, Hunter Mistertin did not seem to be suspicious of the soup, and just casually
He shook it and put it aside.
Exposed to the candlelight, the snake venom in the cup began to tumble again. Ella was so afraid that Mistertin would find out that her heart almost jumped out of her mouth.
However, Hunter Mistertin did not notice this detail. He sat beside Hestein's bed, opened the quilt, untied Hestein's clothes, and scanned Hestein's muscle condition.
"Medicine to restore strength is of no use to him."
Mistertin's voice was filled with wisdom in its old age.
"The reason why he fell into coma was due to excessive use of God's protection, not excessive use of physical strength."
The next second, his voice suddenly became louder:
"Kago, Kago, screw Kago. If he was using the swordsmanship of the Mistertin clan, how could he be lying here like this! He dared to come back to propose to Lily this time. I thought he finally
I was ready to inherit the Misterdin clan, but I didn’t expect that he was still escaping! Since he is unwilling to use the swordsmanship of the Misterdin clan, why did he come back!"
Hunter Mistertin's sudden anger startled Ella.
"Lord Mistertin, there are reports that a large fleet has appeared not far from the island..." A man in white hurriedly rushed in and knelt in front of Mistertin.
"Fleet? Who is so bold as to sail the fleet to Antilia?" Mistertin was obviously still angry, "I will let them know how much they have. However,
Let me replenish my strength first..."
Hunter Mistertin raised the golden cup casually, and before Ella could react, he had already poured the entire cup of soup into his stomach.
Soon enough, the golden cup fell to the ground with a "bang" sound. Hunter Mistertin pinched his throat with both hands, showing an extremely painful expression. He pointed at the cup with difficulty, and then pointed at the cup.
He pointed at Ella, and then fell to the ground with a "thud".
The man in white was startled and quickly found someone to help Hunter Mistertin out. After a while, Lily Mistertin also rushed over with a group of people. Things happened so suddenly that
Ella remained stunned until everyone looked at Ella with hostility, and Ella finally reacted - in their eyes, she had become a murderer who deliberately murdered the lord of Antilia Island.
If it was Hestein who was poisoned to death, Ella had already thought of many ways to excuse himself. She could even cut a wound on Hestein's body and say that Hestein was poisoned by snake venom in the cave.
But Hunter Mistertin didn't have any old injuries, but he was suddenly poisoned after drinking Ella's medicine. Ella could not cover up the crime no matter what.
However, Ella still tried to make a final struggle:
"Who on earth poisoned the medicine while I wasn't paying attention..."
"That's you, isn't it?" Lily Mistertin said to Ella coldly, "Since the first night on the island, you have been collecting Basilik's venom on the beach, right?
?”
Ella took a breath: "Can you actually see it?"
"I can't see it. But you underestimate the basic skills practiced by the Mistertin family in order to practice swordsmanship."
Lily Mistertin waved her hand, signaling the islanders to catch Ella.
"It just so happens that she is used as a sacrifice to the Tepui priest this year. There is also another woman who has been following her. They collect venom together and are accomplices. Let her be kidnapped too!"
The angry islanders immediately surrounded Ella and tied her up with the thickest hemp rope they could find. Not long after, Amy was also tied up and brought over.
She saw that Ella was also tied up, and she probably realized what had happened. She smiled at Ella who was about to cry, and seemed to comfort Ella that "it's okay."
"Sacrifice them together to feed the group of Tepui priests so that they don't cause trouble again!"
Lily Mistertin ordered the islanders to escort Ella and Amy out. After Ella and the others left her sight, she found the man in white who ran in at the beginning and asked:
"You said there is a fleet approaching? Number? Country? Distance?"
