"Your Highness, we can't prove that it was Noli who caused the poison, so now we can only prove your innocence by letting Mrs. Agnes wake up." Ivan looked at him anxiously, "But Mrs. Agnes' time is running out.
, it’s starting to get dark outside now, I’m afraid she really won’t be able to endure it until late at night.”
After hearing what he said, Wile suddenly felt very worried. He grabbed his arm and said in a nervous and trembling voice: "Ivan, you must wake her up as soon as possible, and at least let her tell the truth that His Highness did not poison!"
"Only this bottle of antidote can save her. But Wiler, the problem now is that I dare not rush to determine the dose." Ivan explained, "If the wrong dose is used, the toxicity of the antidote itself may
It will kill her."
"Then what should we do? Should we find someone to test the medicine as soon as possible now? I can't let His Highness test the medicine. If you have to die alone, why not choose me!" Wile grabbed his hair anxiously, his voice trembling,
At this time, he was more worried about Werther's safety than anyone else.
Werther tried his best to stay calm at this time. If he panicked, he would not be able to fight against Earl Marton and Noli.
He took a deep breath and said: "As I said just now, I will test the medicine. Tell me, how should I try your antidote?"
Werther really planned to try the medicine himself, because he knew that his body that had practiced magic could withstand poisons that ordinary people could not resist. After taking an overdose of medicine, he could also discharge the toxins through the first-level magic foundation, so he was sure that he could
Survive the process of testing the medicine.
"Your Highness, if you really want to test medicine, there is only one quickest way that I can think of at present, but the method is not precise enough, and I cannot guarantee that it will be successful. I will choose a few based on experience within the range of doses that can be used in principle.
Then try each dose one by one to find the maximum dose that will not be fatal, so that you can have a greater chance of reviving Mrs. Agnes."
Witte understood what he meant, but this emergency method was too rough and did not seem to be rigorous. There was no guarantee that the chosen dose would be the maximum dose that would not be fatal. But now that time was running out, there was no time to do more detailed experiments.
, maybe this is all Ivan can think of and do.
"Okay, you choose the dose based on experience, and I'll try it, starting with the smallest dose." He said, "This should be fine, right?"
Ivan said: "Your Highness, although this may be successful, I don't agree with you doing this. It can easily kill you. Moreover, if the amount of medicine we tried cannot save her at all, or in other words, if this happens
The antidote cannot cure the poison in her, so your efforts in trying the medicine will be in vain."
"You mean, there are actually a lot of uncertainties?" Witte asked nervously.
"That's what I mean, Your Highness."
"Actually, I have thought of this too. It is indeed a risk." Werther frowned, feeling extremely anxious at the moment. However, a few seconds later, he said calmly, "However, we are still sure that we can save Mrs. Agnes.
, let’s give it a try.”
"Your Highness, you are the lord of these two towns, nothing can happen to you!" Wile knelt down and hugged his thigh while crying, "Let me do it, my life is worthless!"
"Who said your life is worthless!" Werther said angrily, "Our lives are all the same, there is no distinction between high and low! Besides, you can't test out the medicine with just one life. If you die,
, but the dosage of the medicine is still uncertain. I am confident about my body, so let me try it."
Ivan said: "Actually, just one person may not be enough now. Even if you don't care about your life, you can
It can and needs at least several people. No matter which one of you tries, it's inappropriate. I think it's better to take a gamble and just give Mrs. Alice a dose. If she wakes up, we win the bet."
Werther said: "I must prove my innocence. Once Mrs. Agnes dies here, not only me, but everyone in our castle will be imprisoned in the dungeon or even killed directly."
"So, what your Highness is saying is that in order to revive Mrs. Agnes, we need to find someone to test the medicine?" Ivan asked.
"In this case, why not give Mrs. Alice the minimum dose first, and if it doesn't work, then increase the dose little by little." Wile said unwillingly, wiping his tears.
"If this method works, then we don't have to worry so much. The problem now is that this medicine is different from ordinary medicines. The appropriate amount must be taken within a few seconds in order to have an effect. If there is a period of time
If you then take the remaining part, most of the medicinal effect will be lost, and even if you drink a sufficient amount, it will not have any effect."
"Why is there such a troublesome medicine?" Wile complained, and then asked, "Why don't you give Mrs. Alice the smallest amount of medicine first? If it doesn't work, try more medicine, again and again.
The ground test will definitely be successful."
Ivan frowned and shook his head: "This still won't work. The toxins of the medicine will accumulate in her body. Once too much, she will still die."
"Then I can't let His Highness take risks!" Wile cried, "Just let me try. If I succeed once, I win the bet. If I die after trying once, then you will get the rest from the rest."
Choose from several doses.”
Werther couldn't help being moved by his appearance. He gently raised his hand and slowly placed it on his shoulder, saying: "Don't worry, just ask me to test the medicine. I know my body and I won't die."
Have you forgotten that my body is more resistant to toxins than ordinary people. Moreover, I will detoxify myself and eliminate the toxins every time I drink the medicine, so that I can try the medicine."
"Wait a minute, Your Highness, you can actually detoxify, and you are more resistant to poison than ordinary people!" Ivan said in surprise, "If this is the case, then everything is easy to handle, so I can only ask Your Highness to try the medicine."
At this time, Wile suddenly remembered that he had magic: "Ah, Your Highness, I remembered... you are indeed magic... your body is different from ordinary people."
Wile wanted to nod, but then suddenly realized that even if Werther knew magic, he would still be in danger, so he added, "I'm still worried."
"Don't worry~" Werther smiled.
"But, Your Highness, how did you learn to detoxify?" Ivan looked around and found that there was no one else in the corridor except the three of them, so he asked with confidence, "As far as I know, except for the lost
Besides detoxification medicine, there is magic.”
Wile immediately covered his mouth and whispered: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
Ivan looked at them doubtfully and nodded. He knew that Werther had secrets that were difficult to tell. As a doctor in the castle, he should not ask any more questions unless it was absolutely necessary.
Wile let go of his hand, and Ivan looked at Werther with more admiration: "Your Highness, whether you know lost medical skills or magic, I will not ask, let alone reveal a word."
"Well, please forgive me for not being able to tell you the truth now, Ivan, but you believe me, I have never treated you as an outsider. You are one of the closest people to me. I can't tell you the truth now because I have my own reasons.
.”
"I understand, Your Highness." Ivan smiled
Laughing, "Anyway, our dilemma is now solved. However, you will still be in danger during the trial of the medicine. I will try to narrow the gap between the doses of each medicine. Are you sure that you can completely
Are toxins eliminated?"
Werther nodded.
"That's great, let's try the medicine quickly now!"
Ivan took them to his room, listed the amount of medicine that needed to be tried, and began to prepare the medicine. He divided the medicine into ten parts from most to least, dispersed it in a small amount of water, and made a potion. Now in front of Werther,
There are ten cups from left to right, and the concentration of the antidote decreases in sequence.
He pointed to the cup on the far right and asked: "Now I want to start drinking from this cup, right?"
Ivan said in surprise: "Your Highness, you actually carefully watched the process of preparing the potion I just made."
"Haha~ I just had some free time and was bored, so I took a closer look."
Then he handed the cup with the smallest amount of medicine to Werther: "Your Highness, let's start with this cup."
Vittor nodded and drank the water inside. The medicine tasted extremely unpleasant, with a mixture of bitterness and sourness, and a slight odor.
He saw with his own eyes that Ivan diluted the antidote several times before making the tenth cup. Since the potion with the smallest concentration was already so unpalatable, wouldn't the potions in the other cups be even worse to drink? Witte thought of this,
Suddenly I felt a thump in my heart.
He is quite afraid of bitter tastes. If he drinks cup after cup like this, he will die of bitterness even if he is not poisoned.
Ivan saw the painful expression on his face after drinking the medicine, and said doubtfully: "Even if you are poisoned, it will take two minutes. Why do you feel so uncomfortable just after you drink it?"
"This... is too bitter. I wonder if I can eat some candy?" Werther looked at Ivan pitifully.
Wile, who was beside him, burst out laughing and said with some gloating: "Your Highness, I didn't expect you to be so afraid of hardship! But it's best not to eat sugar when taking medicine, as this may affect the therapeutic effect of the medicine~"
"Haha~ Your Highness can eat candy. It doesn't matter. You can eat candy when taking this antidote." Ivan said.
"Then I will bring the candy that Potter made yesterday for His Highness now!" Wile ran out while drooling.
At this time, Ivan asked: "Your Highness, if the dosage of this potion is too much, you should gradually start to feel uncomfortable now, and it will not be until dozens of minutes later that the toxicity will reach its maximum level."
Werther closed his eyes, and after half a minute he said: "I don't feel anything."
"In this case, it means that the amount of this cup is not exceeded, you can start detoxification."
Taking advantage of this moment, Werther began to detoxify himself and quickly eliminated the toxins.
At this time, Wile had already brought over the strawberry-flavored candies. Werther quickly put one into his mouth, and then tried the ninth cup of potion.
After drinking the eighth cup of potion, Ivan asked with concern: "Your Highness, have you not felt any discomfort so far?"
Werther shook his head and said: "So far, I don't feel anything, except the bitterness in my mouth."
He quickly finished the candy in his mouth, picked up another one and put it in his mouth, and then started to try the seventh cup.
As soon as he took this cup of potion into his mouth, he felt that the bitterness was far greater than the previous cups he drank.
"Well, it tastes more bitter." He put down the cup and stuffed another candy into his mouth.
After a few minutes, he still felt nothing and continued to expel the toxins.
