Chapter 233 - Dealing with Poison

"Here we are, Ars Von Barca-sama. From here on out is Fox Valley. From an early age, we were taught never to go further than this point."

"Yes, thank you for showing us the way."

"...... Ars-sama, are you sure you want to go? If what Zitan-dono said about the Valley is true, then no matter how much you say, you will not survive. I think it's too dangerous."

"Hmm, you may be right, Payne. Okay, let's do this. One of you go scout out the land first."

"Alright, Ars-sama. I volunteer myself to go. Leave the scouting to me!"

"Elvis. Are you sure? You do know the dangers of that place, don't you?"

"Of course. Please do not worry about it and just leave it to me."

"Yes, yes. Go ahead, Elvis."

"I will, Sir!"

　I was given a guide by Zitan, the head of the Amu Knight Territory, and we continued onward.

　We crossed a number of mountains and came to a remote area.

　It seemed that our destination, Fox Valley, lay ahead of us.

　But as expected, we couldn't just go on.

　I decided to send someone ahead of us to investigate Fox Valley.

　Now we just had to hope that Elvis, who had gone on a reconnaissance mission, would return safely.

　While we're waiting, let's make a camp around here and have a meal.

"No, wait a minute, Ars-sama. You sent out a Barcan soldier without any preparation, are you okay with that? I mean, it's not okay, is it? He'll never come back, this Elvis or whatever his name is."

"Why not, Payne? It's not like someone out there in the heavens has already decided that Elvis won't come back."

"You really didn't listen to Zitan-dono? Fox Valley is a place that has been protected by poison since ancient times. That guy will surely be affected by the poison and become unable to move."

"No, Elvis is no ordinary soldier, he is a knight of the Balt family, named after my elder brother Baito. He will be fine."

"I am sorry about that outburst. So, this Elvis is a knight? But that doesn't matter since this poison can affect anyone. The Amu family story declared that the poison was effective quite clearly, Ars-sama."

"It's alright. There is a high chance the poison in Fox Valley will not work on Barcan knights. Quite a high chance."

"...... What do you mean, Ars-sama? You have ways to deal with poison?"

"Of course, yes, Payne. Balt and Barca knights are not susceptible to poison."

　Uh, Payne has a surprised look on his face with a gaping mouth.

　This is the first time I've seen such a dumb look on his face, even though he's been following me here since he said he wanted to serve me.

　So, he didn't know about this?

　He would have found out eventually, but maybe I shouldn't have told him?

　I was thinking about this as I looked at Payne's puzzled face.

　※　※　※

　[Poison Nullification].

　This is a new spell that I've newly developed.

　Literally, it's a spell I created just to deal with poison.

　After last year's battle, I talked to Mimu about venoms and poisons and he prepared antidotes to deal with them.

　This was in case I was targeted for assassination in the future.

　However, in hindsight, I felt that even if I had the antidote, there would still be many problems.

　It's not like Mimu is my doctor, and he's not always there to check on me.

　In other words, if I were to be poisoned, I would not be able to see that guy right away, and it might not be possible to determine what kind of poison is poisoning my body and what antidote is needed to deal with it.

　This is because there are many kinds of antidotes, and there is no such thing as a panacea.

　That would be a problem in an emergency, I thought.

　Another problem was that Mimu is almost always going to be in Barcania while I'm in Fontana City. He's too busy conducting research experiments as well.

　If that's the case, why don't I just make myself unneeding of a doctor?

　That was the conclusion I came to.

　So I decided to establish a method to deal with the poison.

　And that method was magic.

　Thus, my new spell development began.

　However, the [Poison Nullification] spell was quite a challenge.

　This was because I created the magic while using my own body as an experimental material.

　Along with the antidote I had received from Mimu, I had also obtained the poison itself.

　And then I used it against myself.

　Of course, at first, I used far less than lethal doses, checking with Mimu.

　I applied it to my skin, scratched my body to get it inside, and swallowed it by mouth.

　Then, immediately afterwards, I would increase the mana kneaded into my body to enhance the natural healing power of my body.

　At first, I used small amounts of poison many times to quietly concentrate and feel how the mana would behave.

　As a result, I found out something.

　When I took in various poisons in various ways, the moment the poison came into contact with my body, my mana automatically showed a kind of protective reaction.

　I think it was all over the skin surface, from the mouth and nostrils to the mucous membranes of the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.

　Also, the mana was gathered in the internal organs such as the liver and kidneys in the stomach.

　So, after I recognized the minute changes in the magic power, I changed my training method a little.

　I made it so that when I used the poison, the magic power would be concentrated in those areas at my will.

　Then, to my surprise, a small amount of poison caused almost no change in my body.

　Then, I proceeded with the experiment, gradually increasing the amount of poison.

　I carefully monitored the changes in my body and mana over and over again, altering the way I controlled the mana each time.

　My efforts paid off, and by the end of the winter, all of the poisons that medical fanatic had prepared had become safe to take in excess of their lethal doses.

　The only thing left to do was to make it a spell.

　The days continued to go by as I continued to drink the poison, mumbling [Poison Nullification] incessantly.

　When Lilina and others saw me doing this, they told me to stop doing such dangerous things, but I was determined to continue my experimentation.

　And so, a new spell was brought to Barca.

　The effect was proven to be effective by the fact that no one had any problems administering the poison after using [Poison Nullification].

　In addition, I asked Mimu to prepare a new poison that I hadn't used in my experiment, yet when I tried it, no abnormalities appeared in my body.

　In other words, this [Poison Nullification] spell should be effective in protecting one's body from unknown poisons.

　If you ask me if there are exceptions, I can't argue with you.

　To be honest, I myself don't know exactly how far the effects will go.

　However, if Zitan's story was accurate, then the Nine-Tails were not afraid to enter this valley.

　In that case, it cannot be that the air itself is totally poisonous. It would also be illogical if that were to be the case.

　If that's the case, then the [Poison Nullification] spell, which lasts for a while once cast, should be able to protect us.

　Hang in there, Elvis.

　If you don't come back, I'll have to turn around and go back, even though I dared to come all the way to this Fox Valley.

　Please come back safely...

　I continued to support Elvis, thinking only of my own self-preservation.

　My wishes seemed to have reached the heavens.

　It was late at night when Elvis came back to the camp.

　In his hand, he was holding a lump of metal that I had never seen before.
