The day after I dropped off Lukash and the others, one of them asked me about the lodging they were staying at.The two of them,
Laura!
"Iris! And Mr. Basilio!
It was Iris and Basilio, the cute juniors who continued to dispense healing medicine in the Fralia branch on behalf of me who was being targeted by monsters.
Since we decided to investigate here, the Flaria branch has been contacted by Arnold.I'm not even going to ask for cooperation, but I'm just saying that I might rent a concourse room because I'm doing this kind of investigation.At that time, they told me that I was in Flaria.
I didn't go to see her because a sudden visit would interrupt my work - I can't believe she came to see me from the other side.
"I heard a rough story.Poisons are spreading in the soil of the forest.... "
Mr Basilio clouds his expression.I also raised my eyebrows and said, "That's right."
Ah, Iris is closing in a few steps.I thought,
"I think you can work with me, Basilio."
I said with a serious expression that completely erased my usual smile.
Eh, I tilt my neck.Then Basilio, who placed his hand on Iris's shoulder, opened his mouth with a smile.
"We came here today to help Laura and the others."
That said, Mr Basilio looks more reliable than he does in my memory.
You can't let us help you, even though you're busy with your work.Yes, I was about to shake my head - I remember.Iris was a clan that had been fighting monsters for a long time.And Basilio used to study poison.
Raise your face. Look at the faces of the two juniors.They nodded.
--A few days later, Arnold and Malta were invited to the Fralia branch in the evening.With the help of Mr. Basilio and Iris, I was able to share what I found.
"Mr Basilio seems to have studied poison in the past, and I am grateful for your help this time."
I opened my mouth first, mainly to explain to Arnold.That way he nods as small as he is convinced.Malta, sitting behind her, nodded with her mouth open.
Looking back at Mr Basilio. Then he started reporting after coughing up one, with a nervous smile.
"Hi. I studied poison on my own for a while, and I was doing a lot of research on antidotes."
Arnold is silent, and Malta listens with a crowded gavel, saying, "You look like you're an adult and you're in a mess."
"Every poison has a certain potency, but I realized that formulations can change ingredients to create a more compatible antidote.It was the most effective antidote to the poison produced by plant-type monsters. "
― ― That was the result of the investigation over the past few days.
First of all, if we do not know exactly who the original toxins are scattered in the soil, we do not know how to solve them more effectively.So we collected the soil containing the toxin, gradually injected it into our hands with a properly formulated antidote, and found out which antidote would neutralize the most.
As a result, one antidote was the most effective when compared to the others.Basilio said it was a particularly effective antidote to "poison produced by plant-type monsters."
Mr. Basilio's report says, "Whoa!"Louder.
So the poison scattered in the woods is a botanical monster?
"Probably not... I can't say."
"Wow!
To sparkle Malta's eyes, Mr. Basilio smiles bitterly from the shadows.Arnold's eyes were slightly rounded in surprise.
Without Mr Basilio, we would not have been able to reach our original identity in such a short period of time.Though we could have produced a fairly effective antidote, we must not have been able to conduct a retrospective investigation that would lead us from the ingredients of the antidote to the majority of the poison.
After coughing again, Basilio continued.
"I have borrowed Iris's knowledge from here, but the plant-type monster is unlike the beast-type monster, it is vulnerable to environmental changes.Because of the relatively warm climate in the Fralia region, it is possible to avoid species that can only live in extremely cold and hot places..... "
Blink and look at Iris, Mr Basilio.She then placed the proud expression, the literature, on her desk.Then open the book.
I pointed to an illustration of a monster with Iris's thin fingers.The page depicted several kinds of plant-shaped monsters, such as large cannibal flowers that could swallow people completely, and small monsters like wild flowers that bloom along the road.
"The monsters that meet those conditions are around here.I have a few pages. "
Iris's fingers follow several monsters.Arnold's black eyes chased the finger.
It was Iris who narrowed down the species of monsters.She said she was reading a lot of books at home until she became an apprentice in the Crown Concoctor, and she also read a monster's atlas.Otherwise, the people of Rustu seemed to have to learn a lot about monsters.
That's right, do the people of Lustu know monsters?
Eh hehe. I've got a lot of stuff!
Iris squeaks his chest at Arnold.
For a moment I was upset that the word "people of Lustu" appeared in front of Mr Basilio, but a calm and bright man never asked me if he thought it was a good topic to step into.
"Oh, you, the people of Lustu, are you one of Diona's?
"Today!
Hee, I was a little surprised to know Malta nodding.I forget that Iris and Diona are here today.Is it because the appearance characteristics are only similar to the color of the eyes?
Arnold, who had been silent until now, took a big breath and said.
"So it wasn't a special poison, and to some extent the species of monsters with that poison squeezed it out."
"That's what I mean!
Iris nodded loudly at Arnold's summary.
I don't know if everything is right, but Bazillio's knowledge of the poison and Iris' knowledge of the monster has enabled us to get there faster than expected.Reliable juniors.
Knowing the monsters that are responsible will be a big hint to the fight as well as the antidote formula.Arnold nodded to his satisfaction.
"Then why don't we buy some time by making antidotes that are easy to treat plant-type monsters?"
Mr. Basilio and Iris nodded with satisfaction at Arnold's words.
Next to that, Malta opened her mouth.
"I'll try to find the monster in the woods.Even if you wander around, it's probably the best thing to do if you can hit it. "
I nod at Malta's words.She smiled at her teeth.
As we delayed around the poison with the antidote, Malta searched for monsters and eventually waited for Lukash to return.
Then, a few days later, I spent making antidotes and spraying them on the soil to find out how much toxin was neutralized in the soil.
With the wisdom of Mr. Basilio, I will try again and again to make appropriate improvements based on the antidote that I particularly hear about plant-type monsters.
"What's the result?
"It's really small, but it's fading."
The toxin was diluted slightly by the antidote.I didn't come to completely neutralize it, but when I saw it faded, I wonder if it was because of the botanical monsters that Mr. Basilio and Iris had derived.
I wonder if it's okay to call it a botanical monster.
Iris murmured at me, and Mr Basilio nodded somehow unconvinced.
- And that was the moment.I thought the door of the room opened momentum.
"Mmm! No! No!I can't find it at all!
Malta's sad cry shook his tympanic membrane.
Looking back, Malta stood there with mud on her cheeks and a very tired face.
--She has been working with the Knights of Chevalier to search the woods for the past few days.I was wondering if I could find the monsters scattered with toxins, but nothing has been achieved yet.
"I thought they were hiding in the border, too.I've already searched for it, definitely. "
Phew, pass the water to make Malta struggle to inflate her cheeks.That way she drank it all at once.
The fact that you can't find it after searching so far means that Malta's monsters are hiding in the border.The Stone and the Demon King aren't that stupid.
After all, now it is better to think in a way that dilutes the toxins in the soil a little rather than splitting hands to find the monster.Our job is to buy time.Rejuvenate the earth with the help of the Spirit Rikerrand of the earth unleashed by Lukash and the others.
Even if the monsters scattered the toxins again afterwards, there is still time to spare.If we can afford it, we should be able to devise measures.
"Anyway, we'll have to keep making antidotes to keep the Fontarphone trees alive until Lukash brings the earth spirits.Once the Spirit of Earth has completely cleansed the poison, it will take time to search the forest in earnest.It's my job to buy time now.Don't even think about slapping her. "
Arnold's undisputed tone sets the course.
We even make antidotes to slow down the poison.That's the only thing I can do now.Fontarphne-sama's tree is the only place to spray the antidote.
After that, I will think about it again.For now, we are just aiming to not deplete Fontarphne-sama's trees until Lukash and the others return - that's what I'm thinking, but on the other hand, there's only one possibility left out of my mind.
(If the opponent is also a botanical monster and has roots in the soil... I wonder if we can attack the boundary through the soil from here.)
It is possible to interfere through soil.However, it does not affect the trees of the forest, including the big trees of Fontarpune, and I can't think of any means of attacking them that only interfere with monsters.
Poisonous monsters are not poisonous and are rejected considering the negative effects on the forest in the first place.Antidote neutralizes poison and is not an item to attack.Then I thought it would be a prototype made by pouring the power of light into the spirit's drinking water and interfering with the Demon King in Elvira - but I don't know if the prototype is immersed in soil and still works.It may be worth a try, but Iris is the only one who can use the power of light.
I've never heard how powerful Iris's light is, but I don't think she's strong enough to look at her position in the city of Lustu's people.Moreover, it is doubtful that the drinking water of the Spirit will be able to exert its usual effect, as the soil of what has not yet been detected has been poisoned.
If you have time to try and miss a special effect drug, you should focus on neutralizing the toxin now.I know that, but sometimes I think about "how to attack a monster in the border."
