475 Chapter 475
Once Diya reabred something was off about the pill, she summoned a venomous centipede. It wasn’t Gilbert’s Simba, but a centipede che had cultivated herself
Gather’s bimba wes his own familier, and under the influence of the magical water, it would obediently follow Eliza’s commands However, since it already had a mester, the connection between it and Eliza wasn’t as strong as the one she had with the venomous insects she had raised herself
The centipede thre called over was email, no longer than a finger when stretched out. But it had a unique ability it could help Eliza identity various herbs or scents.
Eliza placed the centipede next to the pill, and it quickly detected a scent it liked, wrapping itself tightly around the pill After a moment, Eliza leamed what kind of blood was mixed into the pill. It was human blood–or more precisely, raw human flesh The centipede had taken a small taste of the pill and conveyed the result to Eliza.
Elzer’s expression darkened Using raw human flesh in medicine was taboo. There was no doubt that this pill was far from ordinary, and no normal person would consume such a thing.
‘Why would there be a forbidden pill made with raw human flesh in the Duke’s estate? she wondered.
It had been less than a year since Eliza left the Duke’s estate. Even if her father had suddenly developed some kind of apocalyptic, inhumane ambition, he couldn’t have achieved this level of depravity so quickly
The pill contained over a hundred different herbs, so many that the centipede couldn’t identify them all at once. This indirectly indicated that creating this pill couldn’t have been done in a short period.
However, Eliza had never discovered anything like this in the Duke’s estate before she left, nor had she detected any traces of it. So either Gabriel had hidden it extremely well, or it wasn’t his doing.
But the fact that it was found in the Duke’s estate, specifically in Gabriel’s study, meant that it had to be related to someone in the estate.
Eliza thought back to the recent incident where Benedict had nearly been poisoned by Sophie’s flowers. “Could it be that someone, in desperation, used this strange, poisonous pill in an attempt to counteract the poison in Benedict with a similar toxin? she speculated inwardly.
The more she thought about it, the more absurd it seemed. ‘No way. Surely no one could be that foolish, thinking that Benedict’s poison could be cured by a counter–poison, right?‘ she wondered.
Eliza raised an eyebrow and suddenly received another signal from the centipede.
“Hmm? There’s something underneath the pill?” Eliza had the centipede move the pill aside. Beneath where the pill had been in the wooden box, a small piece of gold paper was revealed.
Eliza used a tool to pick up the gold paper and flipped it over. It read: [Immortality Pills, Hall of Eternity.]
