Chapter 810
Chapter 810 – Chapter 800: Failure
Neuss hugged the fallen aina and touched her neck. Her neck was warm and soft but it didn’t beat.
“Young master, she is dead.”Neuss sighed in his heart and turned to Dudian.
“I know.”Dudian’s eyes were gloomy.
Neuss slowly put down Aina’s body and looked at the bottle on the table: “There is poison in the wine. Young master, should I capture all the people who made the wine and interrogate them one by one?”
Dudian was silent for a moment: “In addition to the people who made the wine, there are also all the servants, attendants and poisoners who have served me in the palace.”
Neuss replied: “I know.”
It didn’t take long for the doctors to come back and prepare for Dudian’s bloodletting operation.
The treatment lasted until the second half of the night. The doctors wiped the sweat from their foreheads and stitched up Dudian’s wound, the chief surgeon said: “My Lord, the toxin in your body is stable for the time being. You should take anti-toxin regularly. After a period of time, you will be completely cured.”
Dudian nodded slightly, he said: “I have been poisoned. Don’t tell anyone about it. If someone asks you about it, report it immediately. I will reward you handsomely. In addition, if someone forces you, say that I have been poisoned so deeply that I won’t live long.”
The doctors were startled and bowed their heads.
Neuss returned after the doctors slowly retreated, he looked at dudian: “Master, the results of the interrogation have come out. One of the workers who made the wine has confessed. He said that his distant relatives had visited him recently. Other people also accused that his relatives had come to the brewery. It is very likely that this person poisoned him. I asked the worker. His relative is not a big shot. He is just an ordinary small-scale family. He has two manors and fifty acres of land. There is nothing special about him.”
“Oh?”Dudian’s face was pale but his expression was calm. He was surprised to hear Neuss’words: “Have you found his distant relatives?”
“I have sent people to capture them.”Neuss said.
Dudian’s eyebrows twitched. He didn’t expect to find the poisoner so soon. It seemed that the enemy’s preparations were not complete. However, it was possible that the secret work was not needed.
“The dawn is coming and the succession ceremony is about to begin. Let’s Get Ready.”Dudian looked at the faint light outside the window.
Neuss was startled: “Master, you are seriously injured. Should we postpone the succession ceremony? If the enemy sneaks into the ceremony and attacks you…”
“It doesn’t matter. If there is a sneak attack then aren’t you still there?”Dudian’s face was calm, “It’s just a small poison. Since I’m not dead then it doesn’t matter. But the poison is not ordinary. Fortunately the enemy has nothing to do with the Monster Institute. Otherwise I wouldn’t have just died from poison.”
Neuss was stunned. He understood what Dudian meant. If the enemy had something to do with the monster institute then maybe the poison in the wine would be an undead virus. If that was the case then there would be no cure.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he thought of this.
What a dangerous accident!
If the enemy’s poison was stronger then Dudian would die!
Once Dudian died then their lives would end and they would be torn apart by the aristocrats!
Moreover Dudian’s words gave him a warning. Although he could digest most of the toxins but he wasn’t immune to the absolute toxins. If the enemy was crazy enough to poison dudian.., then the first one to be infected would be him!
This possibility made it difficult for him to digest. In the past he had only considered toxins in the outer wall because it was extremely difficult to get the zombie virus in the inner wall. Especially in the outer wall but the inner wall was different.., the Institute of Magic was holding the undeads. It was not difficult to get the zombie virus from their hands. Moreover the people who could assassinate Dudian were not ordinary people but more or less influential.
“It seems that I have to choose a few people to be my drug examiner…”he thought. It was his way to save himself.
Dudian felt Neuss’stiff body. He looked at him but he didn’t say anything. He pretended not to see anything, he continued: “I don’t know if they didn’t think about it or if they didn’t have the ability to get the zombie virus.”
Neuss came back to his senses, he forced a smile: “Master, I think they didn’t expect that these people would be able to secretly poison your wine. They should have some ability. There was an outbreak of chaos in the inner wall recently. Although the undeads in the city were burned but it shouldn’t be difficult to get the corpse poison.”
“According to you they should have thought of using the corpse poison.”Dudian said.
Neuss was stunned. He was speechless.
“There are only two possibilities. Either they think that using the corpse poison to infect me would be more dangerous. After all, I am an expert in the inner wall. Once I am infected, there will be two more undeads in the inner wall. The result will be worse than the current situation.”Dudian’s eyes lit up, slowly, he speculated: “The second possibility is that they don’t have a deep understanding of the zombie poison. They think that the low-level zombie’s zombie poison might not be able to infect me. Which one do you think is more likely?”
Neuss was stunned: “It should be the first one, right?”
Dudian nodded, “That’s right. This means that they know about Aisha’s existence. They also know that she is infected by the zombie poison. They are afraid that she will lose control of herself if she loses control of me!”! From this point of view, it’s not that they don’t want to use the zombie poison. It’s that they don’t dare to use it! However, this also means that the person who poisoned her shouldn’t be a noble or the Institute of Magic.”
He fell into deep thought.
Neuss asked: “Why not a noble or the Institute of Magic?”
“Because they wouldn’t care so much. The nobles are pursuing profits. The Institute of Magic should have a way to trap the undeads. If it was them, they would have directly poisoned the undeads. But the person who poisoned her has a heart that takes the overall situation into consideration. It’s considered kind.”Dudian said.
Neuss scratched his head: “Master, are they heroes?”
Dudian looked at him: “You are talking as if we are the villains in the novels.”
Neuss smiled in embarrassment. He thought that they were not far from the villains.
“What is the name of this maid? First settle her family and compensate them according to what I said.”Dudian pointed to the corpse on the ground.
Neuss looked at the swollen and rotten cheeks of the maid. He bitterly smiled in his heart. He didn’t believe that with Dudian’s memory he would forget the name he had just heard, unless Dudian didn’t take the latter’s words to heart and didn’t use his brain to remember it.
Cold-blooded. He thought of this word but asked himself. So what if he remembered her name? She was already dead. would remembering it make her look more friendly?
He could only sigh. He squatted down and picked up Aina’s body. He looked at the rotten skin all over her body. In just a short while, the poison had made a clean and beautiful girl look like this, neither human nor ghost, it could be seen how terrifying the poison was!
The sky was clear, and the Sun had just risen.
The succession ceremony slowly began in front of the palace. The nobles, led by the count, entered the venue one after another. The guards were dressed in silver armor. They were neat and orderly, and their auras were mighty. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, outside the venue of the ceremony, a large number of people came to watch the rare moment.
When all the officials and nobles took their seats, Saul came forward to give a speech.
After the long opening speech, Dudian put on the royal robe and held the scepter. He appeared on the highest platform in front of the palace. He finished Saul’s pre-written lines and returned to the palace. As for the rest of the matters.., he left everything to Saul. Neuss was his assistant.
“Is this Dudian?”
“I didn’t expect him to be so young. He is younger than the rumors!”
“He is at most twenty years old!”
“His Highness seems to be around the same age as him. I didn’t expect that one is in the sky and the other is on the ground. It’s a pity!”
“Shhh, keep quiet. Don’t let others hear you. If this person hears you… Humph! Don’t you know what will happen to Ximing?”
The nobles in front of the hall were discussing and feeling complicated.
They didn’t have the heart to listen to Saul’s long speech.
Dudian returned to the study room. The bells and music were playing outside the window. He knew that the ceremony would last until the evening, the entire imperial city would hold a carnival. He didn’t have much time to spend on these things. Although his absence would make people feel proud.
“There are dozens of books. I hope they won’t let me down!”Dudian looked at the pile of books in front of him. He was a bit nervous. He even felt that these books were too few. It would be good if he could double them.
He read carefully.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
The carnival had long ended. The imperial city had fallen into silence. Dudian stayed in the study for several days. He only met the nobles and ministers in the palace on the night of the celebration, he stayed in the study and read the books of the research institute.
Five days had passed and he had finished reading the remaining dozens of books. During this time the toxins in his body had been completely digested by his body. His adaptability was even more effective than the anti-toxin drugs prescribed by the doctors.
“Failure, failure, all failure…”Dudian’s hair was messy as he looked at the pile of more than 200 books. His eyes were dull, almost half of the research about the undead was about how to cure the undead and restore them to their original state. In addition to his concern, the Monster Institute was also concerned about this experiment.
Over the past 200 years, a large number of doctors had studied this experiment, but all of them failed!
There were those who removed the soul crystals from the skull and replaced them with human brains.
Some had locked the zombies in a room they were familiar with while they were alive to observe them.
Some had used the blood of their relatives to exchange for blood.
There were all kinds of methods, and some of them even made him feel that they were completely unscientific and superstitious methods. However, these doctors had also used up almost all of the methods he could think of.
And the result was the same — failure.
It was difficult for him to accept such a conclusion.
Was she really dead after being infected by the zombie poison?
Why could she still move and bite people?
If she wasn’t dead, why couldn’t she recover her memory?
“Master…”Neuss shouted from outside the room and was ready to push the door open.
Dudian suddenly shouted: “Get Out!”
Neuss who had just pressed his hand on the door was startled. He had never seen Dudian shout at him, let alone lose his temper. His face slightly changed as he looked inside with concern, he could see Dudian sitting on the desk with his back facing the door. He didn’t know what he was thinking.
He hesitated for a moment but slowly turned back and stood guard outside the door.
He had been standing guard for seven days.
Seven days was exceptionally fast for the residents of the Imperial City. But for Neuss it was as difficult as the entire black snow season because Dudian hadn’t left the bedroom for seven days. He didn’t eat or drink, he was ready to deliver food when Dudian shouted out again.
“What happened to Young Master?”Sergei ran into the palace. He heard that Dudian stayed in the study for seven days without eating or drinking.
Neuss looked at him and sighed: “It should be related to Aisha.”
“With her?”Sergei was puzzled.
“The young master brought back a lot of experimental materials related to zombies from the Monster Research Institute. It seems that he has read all of them. I guess he couldn’t find the answer from them, so he couldn’t accept it.”Noyce sighed.
Sergei was slightly startled and widened his eyes. “Is there really no way?”
“It’s probably very difficult,”Noyce said in a low voice.
Sergei looked at the shadow in the room in a daze. “Then won’t He Go Crazy?”
“He hasn’t eaten anything for seven days. I’m worried that he won’t be able to hold on,”Noyce said worriedly. “He was poisoned previously and hasn’t recovered yet.”
Sergei shook his head slightly. “Eating and drinking is a small matter. I’m just afraid that he won’t be able to take it lying down.”
Noyce glanced at him. “Why don’t you go up and persuade him?”
“How?”Sergei glared at him. “Don’t you know how important this woman is to him? Have you ever seen him smile at you? I don’t think so.”
Noyce sighed and said, “I heard from the Dragon clan that Aisha ended up like this because she saved young master. She’s the most important thing to young master.”
“Sigh, what kind of world is this? Good people have short lives.”Sergei was a little helpless.
