Chapter 707
At Saint Grace Nunnery in Mount Westin.
After dealing with Sophie at the Marquis’s estate, Eliza quickly returned to Saint Grace Nunnery.
She resumed her usual routine.
Copying scriptures, chanting, and praying for blessings.
Of course, Eliza also continued studying medicine, poisons, and cultivating medicinal herbs.
That day, in Mary’s courtyard.
While studying another poisonous herb and working on antidote methods with Mary, Eliza asked, “By the way, Mary, a couple of days ago, I saved Dale’s son at Marquis’s estate. Well, it’s not the son of the Marquis’s estate anymore. It’s Caleb Nevill, the Nevill family’s son. His body was turned into a breeding ground for parasites by Sophie, and is intertwined with those parasites. It’s hard to resolve. Do you have any suggestions?”
Although Mary wasn’t a sorcerer, her mastery of medicine and poisons was unparalleled.
And Mary knew Eliza’s art of controlling parasites with poison. She often provided insightful guidance that proved invaluable to Eliza.
When facing the thorny problem, Eliza’s first instinct was to seek Mary’s counsel.
Upon hearing that, Mary had Eliza describe Caleb’s condition in
Ater ist in and on your decision, let’s body has be severely damage o
restored in a short time.”
Eliza nodded and said. “I feel the same way, but it’s not right to leave those parasites in his body indefinitely…”
Mary smiled and said, “No. You’re thinking about this all wrong. Why do you assume those parasites can’t stay inside his body?”
Eliza was taken aback and said, “Mary, you mean…?”
“Now that the sorcerer is dead, those parasites are masterless,” Mary explained. “If you can tame and then expel them, why do you not bring them under your control and let them remain in Caleb’s body? As long as they stay inside him, whether they harm or help him is entirely up to you.”
Upon hearing Mary’s words, Eliza’s eyes gradually brightened with realization.
‘Of course!‘ she thought. ‘Now that Sophie is dead, those parasites’ll obey me once Vexara tames them.
‘And Caleb’s body is the perfect host for parasites. Without my command, they wouldn’t leave him.
‘Caleb will have all the time he needs as long as the parasites don’t cause any harm.
‘Better yet, if I use the method of nurturing parasites and then have the parasites feed back into Caleb, it can make Caleb’s body recover faster.
‘Caleb won’t die as long as the parasites live. It’s like giving Caleb an extra lifeline. It might be beneficial for him.‘
“Thank you for your guidance, Mary! Now I know exactly what to do!” Eliza exclaimed, her face beaming with joy, unable to hide her excitement. This method is so versatile!‘ Eliza thought, excitement bubbling up. ‘If my loved ones or I ever face danger, we could use it to save our live
I’ve got a new idea for breeding poisonous parasites,‘ Eliza mused to herself.
She patiently continued with her work while mentally refining her new approach to poisonous parasites.
Chapter 707.
After concluding her research on antidotes for poisonous herbs with Mary, Eliza thanked Mary, returned to her courtyar herself in her pocket farm,
Three days had passed since the Nevill family left Hasen City.
Originally, Eliza wanted then to wait two more days until she could ask Mary if there was any solution before they set out.
However, Dale had been gripped by an unshakable sense of foreboding since he learned Sophie was a foreign sorcerer.
Therefore, he did not wait for Eliza’s news. After resigning that day, he hurriedly left the city with his wife and child, bringing many bodyguards
‘Once we return to Fotidia, no one can touch us,‘ Dale thought.
Although the Nevill family had seldom returned to Fotidia in recent years, it was still their ancestral stronghold, and their family’s influence was considerable.
That was why Dale could resign without a second thought.
Even without the powerful title of Marquis, Dale could still ensure his family lived comfortably and freely.
But first, they had to make it back to Fotidia safely.
Upon seeing that Dale was determined, Eliza didn’t stop him.
She told him she would consult Mary first. She would send word to the Nevill family in Fotidia if she found a solution.
To Eliza’s surprise, Dale and his family returned on the evening of the third day, shortly after they had left.
The incident happened so abruptly that when Eliza learned of it, she was still on her pocket farm, tending to her new poisonous parasites.
When Tina knocked on her door, Eliza, hearing the knock from her pocket farm, frowned slightly.
Tina usually wouldn’t disturb Eliza when she entered the pocket farm, especially not this late.
Upon sensing that something must be wrong, Eliza immediately set aside her poisonous parasites and exited her pocket farm.
When Eliza returned to her room, she rushed to the door and opened it. “What happened?” Eliza asked.
Tina stood outside and replied, “The Nevill family is outside the Nunnery. They don’t seem to be in good condition.” Tina’s words were tactful, but Eliza instantly sensed something was off.
‘The Nevill family? Dale and the others?‘ she wondered. ‘But hadn’t they left? Why would they suddenly show up outside the Saint Grace Nunnery?‘
A chill of foreboding ran down Eliza’s spine.
Eliza was shocked when she stepped outside and saw Dale and Adeline lying on the ground.
It was more than just “not good“.
No, it was far worse than that.
