Duke Mason was wearing a white nightgown and laying on his big bed. He was covered with thick thin wool mattresses. The pillow under the back of his head was filled with duck down. There were many doctors dressed in long bird scepters. It turned out that in the Middle Ages, people believed that crows were messengers of death, and only crows could avoid the breath of death. Therefore, doctors usually wore crows to treat patients with diseases, hoping to keep patients away from the clutches of death.

"He has been unconscious and the doctors have tried all kinds of methods to cheer him up again." Seeing his father, Duke Mason, lying on the sickbed, the ruler who held the power of life and death in the entire Principality of Mason, was like a breathing corpse, with pale face at the mercy of the doctor and servant.

"When did the Duke fall into a coma?" Aruod also frowned. Although Duke Mason, whom he met a year ago, was already in his twilight years, he was strong and energetic. No matter how he looked, he was incomparable to the old man with a haggard and thin face lying on the sickbed.

"Just after I was summoned by the royal family to participate in the battle, when I came back from the news, he was already like this." Earl Emble looked sadly at his father lying on the sickbed. Duke Mason was a strict father. Sometimes Embler Emble would have a rebellious mentality. But when this father who sheltered him from the wind and rain fell, Embler Embler realized that he missed his health so much, which made the court officials bow down and bowed their heads.

"Please let me see." Arod suggested to Earl Eble, wondering what disease could knock down Duke Mason. It is generally a contagious disease to be able to occur so quickly. But no one in Mason Castle does not have this symptoms, which means that this disease is selective.

Arod approached Duke Mason and found that his lips were chapped, withered and skin lost its luster and dry, while his blood vessels were light blue, with white lines on the nails on his hands and feet, and some herpes appeared on his chest. Anyone would think that this symptom was infected with some kind of evil disease at first glance. But Arod became alert in his heart, and he looked at the doctors wearing crow masks.

"How is your diagnosis?"

"Yes, the Earl of Mecklenburg, at the beginning, the noble Duke had vomiting and headaches. We prescribed some medicines for the noble Duke, but after drinking it, there was no effect. Later, it became more and more serious. The Duke's hair fell a lot. He also had difficulty breathing, and finally he was unconscious." The doctor took off his crow mask and showed an old face. This doctor was not an ordinary quack doctor. He had traveled to many countries to learn advanced medical knowledge of this era. However, after all, he was limited by the times and could not figure out the Duke's illness.

"Tsk." Arude smashed his mouth after hearing this. On the surface, it was indeed the Duke who suffered from some kind of evil disease, but what was this evil disease? After all, Arude was not a doctor and had no idea, so he could only shake his head.

"Master Arod, do you have any clues?" Earl Earl Earl looked at Arod with a gaze. Arod was known as Zhido Star. He often could tell knowledge that others could not know. Earl Earl Earl Earl Earl Earl also brought him to see Duke Mason with a glimmer of hope, hoping that Arod could know the disease that the duke was suffering from and find a cure. But when he saw Arod shook his head, the last glimmer of hope in his heart also disappeared.

"not yet."

"Is that right?" Earl Eble lowered his head, and he had to leave the duke's room with Arod. Fortunately, there were a group of doctors and servants to take care of him. Duke Mason's condition was stable at least without any sign of worsening. If it were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago.

"How is my father?" Princess Qiaoxi standing in the corridor. When she turned around, Aruod clearly saw Princess Qiaoxi hiding a handkerchief in her sleeve. The corners of her eyes were red and swollen. It seemed that she had just cried. No wonder Princess Qiaoxi felt very painful when she saw her father who loved her the most.

"My father is much better." Earl Emble hugged his sister in his arms and said to her comfortably.

"Mr. Eble, I actually suspect that the Duke was poisoned, not sick." The reason why Arod did not say this in the room was because he was afraid of the people who had mixed Earl Lauziz among servants and doctors. After all, Earl Lauziz was full of eyes and ears in this castle.

"What? Poisoning." Earl Eble and Princess Josie said almost in unison. They looked at Aroud in amazement. What a serious crime that poisoned the supreme ruler of the Principality of Mason. Once exposed, even aristocrats will inevitably be hung.

"Yes, let's go for a walk in the courtyard now." Arod blinked at Earl Eble and Princess Josie, and walked past them several servants. The top of the narrow corridor's arched pillars, and even if they were silent, there would be many echoes. The courtyard of the castle did not have such concerns, so it was not a good place for them to negotiate.

"Now Lord Arod, please tell me what's going on?" Earl Eble could no longer bear it and asked Arod.

"I can't be very sure, but this symptom of Lord Duke is very similar to a sign of poisoning. However, this poison is very slow, but it is enough to make Lord Duke lose consciousness." Arod pinched his chin with his hand and stood beside a bush of thorns. Some snow was still left among the bushs, but some green grass emerged from the tips under the snow.

"But the Duke's food and wine glasses are all made of silver, and if they are poisoned, they will definitely be discovered." Earl Earl Eble explained to Arod that at the beginning he suspected that he was poisoned, but the Duke's tableware was all made of silverware, which is also to prevent being poisoned. If poison touched those silverware, the silverware would definitely turn black and change, and thus be noticed by the Duke.

"Not necessarily, some poisons cannot react with silver." Aruod shook his head. As a person whose soul comes from later generations, he knew that silver had changed because it reacted with poison, but some poisons were very concealed and could not be detected with silver tools.

"My father fell ill, the doctor used the horns of a unicorn to detoxify him, but it was useless. Doesn't this mean that his father was not poisoned?" Princess Josie blinked her beautiful eyes and said to Arude that people in the Middle Ages generally believed that the horns of a unicorn have sacred power and can relieve any poison. However, whether this mythological creature has existed is a mystery.

"Unicorn? Is there really that kind of thing?" Aruod asked with laughter and cry.

"Of course, my father's court doctor had one, and he was a treasure on weekdays. It is said that capturing unicorns is very difficult. It requires a pure and flawless girl to sing in the forest. When the wonderful song sounds, a snow-white horse with a horn on its head will appear from the depths of the forest. That is the legendary unicorn. Only the pure girl can lure the unicorn to appear. When it appears, the hunter will capture it and kill this beautiful creature and take off its precious unicorn. In the part that I don't like the ending of the story, why don't they take off its horn and put it on?" Princess Josie's beautiful brow frowned. She was full of favor for the creature that only appeared in front of the pure girl, and was very sad when she thought of its death.

"So, Arud, do you know what poison the Duke has grown?" Earl Earl Emble is not Princess Josie, who is still in the girl stage. To be honest, many people can prove that the horns of unicorns are actually fakes, some are even carved from bones of some animals, and have no effect on detoxification.

"I'm not sure about this, but if the Count can allow it, I have an expert in this area." A person was remembered in Arod's mind, but he had to get the permission of Earl Eble, because that person's identity was a bit special.

"Oh, if you have a candidate for this, bring him here immediately." Earl Earl Eble said to Arod anxiously.

"yes."

As time passed by little, Earl Eble sent back the doctor and servant in the room, and then personally guarded the door with Arod to avoid anyone disturbing the diagnosis of the duke. Because he was the heir of the duke, no one raised any objection to this. Until the sun gradually set, the door finally opened. Earl Eble and Arod walked in together, and saw that the duke was still lying on the sickbed in the room, and beside him was a beautiful girl, who was taking back the tools placed beside the duke one by one in the small box.

"How is Shirley? Have you found out what it is?" Aruod said to Shirley who wiped her forehead with her wrist. It seemed that this kind of test and examination were very difficult, but a relief expression appeared on Shirley's face.

"Yes, Lord Earl." Shirley nodded at Arod and Earl Eble. As a priestess who deal with various poisons and herbs, she knew far more than the doctors of the Principality of Mason because it was the knowledge passed down from ancient times by the Lomwa religion.

"Is it ~~ poison?" Aruod asked.
