Lothar finished, "Right now, the priority is to get help for Ciril. I've sent for Abel Loggins from the capital —he'll be here soon."At those words, Yed released Ned's collar while growling, "You're lucky this time!"
Ned stumbled backward, his brows knitted in frustration.
"Oh, you have nothing to worry about," Lothar suddenly said, looking between everyone pointedly.
"Ciril is Ascendant rank—once he regains consciousness, who and how he was poisoned would be revealed. He'd know betterthan anyone. If any of you are present, | will not hold back. This is an attempt on my brother's life, and it entails a summaryexecution!"
Paula's fingers twitched at Lothar's threat, her expression unnatural as she sneaked a look at Yed.Yed nodded at her in turn, assuring her to stay calm since they would never be exposed.After all, they knew better than anyone that Ciril had been poisoned with the Taut Snow Tree.
The Taut Snow Tree sounded like a tree, but it was anything but—it was the one of most potent poisons that Hundred Bane Secthad in their disposal. It was meant for use against Ascendant ranks and named for the symptoms the victims exhibited.
If the poison was not cleared in a day, the ice-type poison would permeate their body, disabling their ability to regulate their bodytemperature.
At that point, they would die frozen stiff, like a tree in the snow.
There was actually a simple cure to it—one just had to cover themselves in the golden sands of the northwest and chargeoneself with pure vigor to clear out the poison.
However, two factors worked against that. The first was that the poison acted quickly and confounded the mind.The second was that even if martial elites recognized the poison, golden sand was not easily available.
In other words, there was just no stopping the Taut Snow Tree in time, and one could only watch as the victim became a ‘snowtree’ themselves.
Soon, Abel Loggins rushed to the scene, led inside by the men Lothar sent.Abel's hair and beard was white, and he stood aside as he studied Ciril for a long while.Eventually, he shook his head and sighed. "It's too late...!"novelbin
Lothar hurried to him and asked, "What's the problem, Mr. Loggins? What has my brother been poisoned with? Can't it betreated?”
Abel shook his head helplessly. "This poison is called the Taut Snow Tree. It's a poison that Hundred Bane Sect wields—virtuallyundetectable, it's almost too late when it's finally discovered. It's ice-type, and only the golden sand of the northwest is needed totreat it in a day... judging the time since the poison took effect, it's been almost a day now. You should arrange for his funeralmatters."
Abel sighed again and started to leave.
"Wait, what?!" Lothar hurried to stophim, pleading, "Please, Mr. Loggins!You have to do sornetting iybrotherNaS au & 4 grand life, and hereally doesn't deserve such a horribledeath! Just help him. I'll agree toanything you might ask!" The contentis on NovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
Nearby, Ned could see the sincerity in Lothar's gaze and sighed lengthily.As biological brothers, the bond between Lothar and Ned's father Ciril was genuinely fire forged.
