"Here we are, Master Ars von Barca. From here on out is Fox Valley. We grew up being taught from an early age that we should never go further than here."
"Well, thank you for the guide."
"... Dear Ars, are you sure you want to go? If the story of Fox Valley told by Lord Zitan is true, no matter how much Master Ars has no life. I think it's too dangerous."
"Um, maybe so, Paine. All right, let's do this. Somebody scout Fox Valley first."
"Yes, Master Ars. I'll go. If you're scouting, I'll take care of it."
"Elvis? Are you sure? It's a dangerous place, but you know exactly what I'm saying, don't you?
"Of course it is. There's nothing like this for Master Ars. Leave it to me."
"Okay, okay. Come on, Elvis."
"Yes!"
In the Arm Knight Territory, our Gitan followed us and moved on.
It crossed several mountains and even came to a deep land.
And apparently, from here on out is Fox Valley, our destination.
But we can't all just keep moving forward.
I decided to get people out to check out Fox Valley first.
And then let's hope Elvis, who went to reconnaissance, gets home safe.
Shall I make it around here in a position while I wait and take it for a meal?
"No, wait a minute, Master Ars. I sent out a Barca army soldier without any preparation, but are you okay? Or it won't be okay. He'll never come back, Elvis."
"Why, Paine. You didn't decide Elvis wasn't coming home."
"What are you talking about, Master Ars? Weren't you really listening to Lord Zitan? Fox Valley is a more poisonous and protected place than it used to be. I don't know who he is, but I'm sure he'll soon be poisoned and unable to move."
"No, Elvis is no ordinary soldier. He's a Baltic knight named after his part-time brother. So I'm sure you'll be fine."
"I'm sorry about this. Lord Elvis was a knight, wasn't he? But that has nothing to do with this. Even if you are a knight, the poison works. That should have been true, Master Ars, even if it had been told to the House of Arms."
"Maybe I'll be fine. Dealing with poison is decent. Maybe the poison in Fox Valley should be fine too.... I guess."
"... what do you mean, Master Ars? Are you ready to deal with the poison?
"Oh, yeah, Paine. Barca and Baltic knights don't poison."
Oh, Payne looks surprised when she opens her mouth pompously.
It's Payne who's been following me so far by saying he wants to serve me or something, but this may be the first time he's seen a dumb face so far.
So you didn't know about this?
There may have been something I knew sooner or later, but shouldn't I have told you?
I was thinking about that looking at Payne's face.
[Poison deactivation].
The new magic I've acquired.
Literally, it's magic I made just to deal with the poison.
I spoke to Meme about poison after last year's war.
And they also prepared antidotes to deal with poison.
This was in view of future assassinations.
But later on, I felt like I had a lot of trouble even with the antidote.
Because Meme doesn't always see me as my attending physician.
In other words, if I get invaded by poison, I can't see Meme right away.
Then, it is also possible that any poison is eroding the body and the antidote to cope with it cannot be determined to be a chitin.
Because there are so many kinds of antidotes in a bite, and there's never anything like a panacea.
Then I thought I'd have trouble when I had to.
Then I'm going to talk about how I should be able to see Meme at any time, because I'm always in the city of Fontana, and Meme is in Vulcania.
Meme was busy researching every day and it was difficult to build a system to examine her.
Then why don't we just leave the doctor alone?
I came to that conclusion.
So I decided to establish a way to deal with the poison.
That means it was magic.
That's how my new magic development began.
However, the magic of [poison deactivation] was pretty hard.
Because I created magic while using my body as an experimental material.
Along with the antidote I received from the meme, I also received the poison itself.
And you used that poison against yourself.
Of course, at first, a small amount of poison was used well below the lethal dose while checking with the meme.
I applied it to my skin, hurt my body, put it inside, swallowed it from my mouth.
And immediately after that, it enhances the magic refined throughout the body to enhance the natural healing power that the human body possesses.
At first, he used a small amount of poison more than once to quietly concentrate and feel what the magic moves.
As a result, I found out something.
After taking in all kinds of poisons in many ways, the moment the poison touched his body, the magic automatically showed something like a defensive reaction.
It was the skin surface of the whole body and seemed to me to be mucosal areas such as the esophagus, stomach, and intestines from the mouth and nostrils.
And then there was also magic gathered in the liver, kidneys and other organs in the stomach.
So since I recognized that subtle magic change, I've changed my training methods slightly.
When I used the poison, I tried to concentrate my magic on those parts at my will.
Then, surprisingly, little change appeared in the body with a small amount of poison.
Then we proceeded with further experiments, increasing the amount of poison one by one.
Over and over again, I cautiously captured my body and magical movements, and changed the way I controlled my magic at that rate.
And did that effort come to fruition, or by the end of winter, all the poisons prepared by the meme were no longer a problem if they were taken beyond the lethal dose.
Give me that much, and all you have to do is spell it.
Even "poison deactivation" lasted days of continuing to only poison while continuing to crush.
Lilina and others who saw it told me not to do such a dangerous thing, but with my heart turned into a ghost, I continued that self-inflicted act.
That's how the new magic was brought to Barca.
The effect was proven to be a decent one by the fact that something other than me used [poison deactivation] and then had no problem taking the poison.
Plus, I got a new poison for my meme that I didn't use to experiment with, and it didn't show any abnormalities in my body.
I mean, this [poison deactivation] can even protect your body from unknown poison, it should.
I can't argue with you if you ask me if there might be an exception.
To be honest, I don't know exactly how far [poison deactivation] works myself.
But if Zitan's story was accurate, Kyouo would have entered the Valley of the Fox.
That meant it wasn't poison, it wasn't air itself, it shouldn't be that kind of talk och.
If so, once you cast a spell, the [poison deactivation] that will last for a while will protect your body.
Hang in there, Elvis.
If you hadn't come back, I'd have to turn back awesome when I said I'd cut all that loose and come all the way to this Fox Valley.
I need you to come back safely.
I continue to support Elvis with all my personal cuteness thoughts.
The wish seems to have arrived safely in heaven.
It was late at night that Elvis returned to his position.
Grab a chunk of metal you've never seen before in your hand.
