Chapter 185 Abnormal Poison

"The toxin on the monster's claws is very strong, and no antidote has been found yet. But according to our experience, the toxin usually takes effect the next night after the poisoning, when the moon just rises."

...

On a stone tower in the Twins, an old maester wearing a gray woolen robe and a metal necklace hanging around his neck said to the boy beside him: "After being poisoned, he will lose his mind and attack others, and will also infect others with the poison in the process. So we can take measures to treat him, but it cannot exceed the time before the sun sets today."

"What happens after he loses his mind?" the boy asked: "Will he always be a lunatic?"

"No, he will die."

The old maester who served the Twins sighed and said: "After the sun rises the next day, these poisoned people will suddenly die. I tried to save one of them, but I didn't succeed at all."

"Are there no exceptions?"

"No exceptions."

Renly was silent after hearing this.

At this time, he was in a castle called the Twins in the riverlands, and this castle was the "origin" of the monster. The Frey family, who controlled the castle, had been harassed by the monster, so they would send knights to hunt it down. The old scholar in front of him also had relevant experience.

However, in fact, the monster was created by Renly -

It was the pet dog that broke into the banquet at Robert's wedding, ate a chicken leg, and then went into heat.

At the beginning, Renly learned that the pet dog was a pet brought by someone in the Frey family, and then was taken back. He didn't care much about it at first, but he didn't expect that the little guy in his memory would turn into a werewolf-like freak at this time...

Looking at the tall and thin "Ryan" who was unconscious on the bed in the room, Renly felt quite depressed.

It had only been a short time since they met, and this person was suddenly in danger of life?

Was she unlucky, or was he too unlucky?

Renly felt very depressed.

Last night, the Frey knights who rushed over were very tough and insisted on chopping off the head of the poisoned Rhaenys. Renly would not let them succeed. At the same time, because Rhaenys was suddenly poisoned, he had to find a way to treat her in time.

So he chose to expose his identity.

Renly did not want to do this at first, because it would bring some unnecessary trouble and suspicion. He also thought about disguising himself as other nobles. However, although the Frey family in the riverlands was not established for a long time, they were not bumpkins who could be fooled at will.

The process was not smooth, but the result was not unexpected. He was solemnly taken back here, in a special bridgehead castle located in the riverlands, at the crossing of the Green Fork River.

Renly remembered the existence of the Twin River City and the Frey family in his previous life, and that was obviously not a good impression, but at this time he could not care about those things. The most important thing at the moment was to consider how to save Rhaenys.

"I have tried all kinds of ointments, bloodletting, bowel cleansing, leech therapy and other treatments, and even tried to suppress the toxin with toxins, but all of these are ineffective. The onset of this poison is not like what ordinary people should be exposed to. Instead, it is like-" The old bachelor in the room was still nagging, explaining, and paving the way for the young duke, so that he would not blame himself if he could not save the person.

"It's like magic. Well, although the doctors in Oldtown dismissed magic as nonsense, I still believe in it very much. I heard that a kind of blood magic is popular in the eastern continent of Essos, which may be effective against this toxin. Unfortunately, although I believe in it, I am not familiar with it..."

Magic?

Renly narrowed his eyes while listening to the other party's muttering, and then suddenly asked: "Can you wake her up temporarily?"

"Wake her up?"

The maester shook his head and said: "There is no way to wake her up. I have used various means to stimulate the poisoned, but they don't even have a little reaction, let alone wake up. Of course, if you want me to treat your friend, I can still try."

Renly was helpless when he heard this.

He risked his identity to come here, but he didn't get any useful feedback. The old maester in front of him could only say how terrible the poison was and how serious the consequences were. He had no idea about how to detoxify, and was obviously not willing to help...

The Frey family of the Twins is one of the most powerful in the riverlands. As a maester serving here, the one in front of him already represents the world's high-end medical talents, and he also has relevant experience. However, this person can't do anything, who can he find to solve it?

We should find a way to wake her up, and then try magic...

After thinking for a while, Renly made up his mind, so he turned to the old man and said, "Can I stay alone with him, Maester Daemon?"

"Of course, my Lord Duke." The old maester replied, "But you'd better pay attention to the time and leave here before night. Of course, there will be guards outside the door. If there is any accident, just call out."

Renly nodded, and the man turned and left.

Watching the old figure in gray clothes open the door and disappear from sight, Renly sighed, then pulled up an oak chair in the stone house and came to the bedside. After glancing at the skinny bamboo pole in coma, he began to act.

Renley's initial plan was to integrate the Ancient Path Seed into Rhaenys' body to try to save her. After all, this thing had a successful precedent. Although this might affect Rhaenys's thinking to a certain extent, it was better than death.

However, Renley had no choice but to give up soon.

For some reason, the seed could not be integrated into Rhaenys' body. Just like when it encountered dead objects in the past, the fire would only stick to the surface...

Then he began to try to use the psychic language to awaken the other party's consciousness, but the effect was also ineffective. It seemed like facing a pool of stagnant water.

Sitting on the chair, Renley thought about it and dug out the blue Naga fire on his wrist - this thing was obviously a treasure, but the research during this period did not allow Renley to find any effect on him.

There was no way to integrate it into the body, and there was no way to gain any power from it. Just staying in the wrist, even if it was very high-end, it was still a waste, and a waste that might cause trouble.

So now he tried to see if Rhaenys could absorb it, but Renley did not feel any reluctance.

Unfortunately, although the blue flame "burned" vigorously, the result was also not very good - this thing seemed to be very "picky". Facing the second attempt, it still showed no signs of merging into the target's body.

Renly was quite annoyed for a while.

This didn't work, and that didn't work. Could he just watch this person die?

After thinking hard for a long time, he suddenly thought of an ability that he had forgotten for a long time.

"Maybe this can have some effect?"

He was a little hesitant about this, but considering that he had no other way to use it at the moment, he decided to give it a try.

There will be a third update today, but it will not be updated until the afternoon. The specific time is uncertain. It should be about the same when you come back to see it at six or seven o'clock in the evening.
