Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 212 Poisoning
Marquis Eric poured a vial of green powder into the well in front of him, the last vial of poison on him.

In his left hand he held a dagger dripping with blood, and at his feet was an ordinary fortress with a dagger in the chest, who had suddenly appeared here as he poured out the poison.

The cautious Marquis Eric directly killed him with the dagger in his hand. He wiped the blood from the dagger on the man, hid in his waist, and walked towards a dark alley.

Last night, the castle suddenly caught fire. After jumping from the second floor, Marquis Eric knew that the castle would not be able to hold it. In the end, he chose to escape from the sewer of the castle.

Compared with being caught by the enemy and locked in a cold dungeon with no toilet and feces overflowing his knees, he felt that walking through the dirty sewers was nothing at all.

His armor and sword are hidden in the house of an ordinary resident. Of course, the owner of the house was killed by him before the Nords captured the castle, and Marquis Eric also replaced it in the cabinet of that person. A set of clean clothes, and finally dumped his body in a well.

After washing his body with well water, Marquis Eric suddenly thought of how to take revenge on these Nords.

He is not only a knight who is proficient in magic, but also has studied alchemy, especially how to refine poison.

Although almost everyone said that poison was only used by women, Marquis Eric didn't care about these things at all, as long as the poison was not discovered.

Then he broke into a grocery store and killed the owner of the grocery store. Then he used the alchemy materials in the grocery store and a substance he extracted from the sewer to refine a poison.

The poison does not cause death immediately. Those who are poisoned will start to vomit, have diarrhea, and have a fever. Those who are strong enough can carry it with their own constitution, and those who are weaker will die painfully.

And Marquis Eric chose this poison not because it is easy to refine, but because of its contagiousness, as long as you drink the water containing this toxin, you will be poisoned, and the toxin can pass through the vomit of the poisoned person The body of the person who died of poisoning will quickly decompose, and the toxin can also be transmitted to other people.

He knew very well that most people would not drink boiled water, and no one would clean up those excrements at such a time.

On the way of poisoning, Marquis Eric killed many innocent ordinary residents. Those unlucky ghosts stayed near the well when he was about to poison, or appeared beside him when he was halfway through poisoning.

Marquis Eric believes that when the Duke's reinforcements arrive here, all the people in the fortress will die, and the rest will not have the strength to fight.

After doing this, Marquis Eric walked towards the north gate of the fortress.

At this time, it is easiest to get out from the north gate. After all, the northern part of the fortress is occupied by the Nords. Many merchants who want to make war money continue to transport food and supplies into the fortress from the north gate.

Climbing over the mountains next to the fortress is not a problem at all for him who is highly skilled in martial arts.

Marquis Eric returned to the grocery store, picked up the materials inside and began to make up. He planned to disguise himself as an ordinary businessman and get out of the fortress.

After putting on his make-up, he walked towards the fort step by step. Marquis Eric seemed inconspicuous among these bold businessmen, so the Nord soldiers near the north gate of the fortress did not stop him for questioning.

After leaving the fortress, he relaxed, looked back at the fortress, and silently vowed in his heart that he would be ashamed in the future...

Rhodes went outside the castle, and this time he was going to enter the castle directly through the gate, which was the fastest.

The constant gurgling noise in his stomach made him realize that he hadn't eaten or watered in a long time.

"Why are you here again? I told you that you are not qualified to enter the castle." It was still the soldiers who stopped Rhodes.

"I want to go in and find someone. His name is Baron. Can you go in and call him for me?" Rhode asked.

"Baron? I haven't heard of it. Don't try to trick us into it, and then take the opportunity to break in." A soldier drew his sword and looked at Rhodes vigilantly.

Rhodes had a headache, and it was not good to go in directly, and they were unwilling to ask these soldiers to help them in.

If I knew it earlier, I would have taken the secret path of the cave. Although it took a little more time, at least I could enter the castle.

Rhodes took out one and handed it to a soldier.

"Help me in and call Baron. He is a bald man over two meters tall, and his weapon is a huge axe."

The soldier silently put the gold coins in his arms and gave Rhodes a look. Rhodes took out a few more and distributed them to other soldiers so that each of them could take one.

"I'll go in and ask for you." A Nord soldier turned and walked into the castle.

Rhodes feels that he has always used violence to solve problems recently, and has forgotten how to get along with ordinary people. In this case, money bribery is the most effective.

Not long after, the soldier came out with Baron.

"What's the matter? Let's talk about it." Baron looked at Rhodes and said.

"When I just fetched water, I found a few rotten corpses floating in the well. It should be that the well was poisoned, and other wells in the fortress may have been poisoned as well," Rhode said as he walked.

"We'll talk about this later, I'll take you to take a shower first." Baron slapped his nose with his hand, "Did you crawl into the sewer? Why is your body so smelly?"

"I'll find a river outside the fortress to take a bath later, maybe there won't be any drinking water in the fortress for the next few days." Rhode felt that the water resources in the fortress might be very precious in the future.

"Then you can only go to the north of the fort. The south of the fort is blocked, but if you want to go to the south, I can get you a pass." Baron nodded.

"You can also go to the north. You can go and talk to the gray-haired Nord before, and ask him if he can ask everyone not to drink the water from the well in the fortress." Rhodes said again.

"I'll go and talk to him, and find a few more people to test that those wells were poisoned. Maybe they can develop an antidote, but now many people have already drank the water in those wells. You should know that after the war , the mouth is usually very thirsty, and many soldiers should have drunk the water in the well." Baron said seriously.

He handed Rhodes another coat of arms, "I forgot to give it to you before, you can freely enter and leave the castle with this, you go first, I will inform that person about this matter."

Rhodes nodded, then went outside the castle and rode a horse towards the north of the fortress...
