The Traveling Hero Won’t Let the Innkeeper’s Son Escape

Wonok smiled slightly at Ruth as she began to show vigilance. You look like a compliment to 'Well done'.

"Good question. One is that Nicolas, who was“ supposedly ”dead this time, didn't know what caused his death without trauma, and that the situation you were dying in was pretty much the same."

"Same?"

"I'm pretty sure you put the poison in your body. But is there any abnormality on the outside of your body?

Ruth took a sneak look at her body, but there was no such part. There seemed to be no abnormality on the outside of the body even before it fell. If it did stay that way, it would have been in the same situation as Nicolas, and he could have died for an unknown reason.

Wonok continues the conversation, asking how Ruth is doing.

"So I found out that you put the same poison in Nicola's body that killed her for some reason. So I kept my mouth shut with the others."

…… How can it be "so”?

"Think about it, Ruth. Nicola didn't die in an accident because she wasn't injured. There is a line called suicide from poisoning, but it is hard to imagine that you have spoken the same thing. Then it will remain………"

"... someone poisoned Mr. Nicolas... and me the same poison?

"Moreover, it is a poison that appears to have died naturally, with no effect on the outside of the body and no pain and self injury.... like an assassination tool, huh?

"Assassination..."

Ruth suddenly said words she hadn't even thought about and the chills ran. Unexpectedly holding his arm, the oculus that was stuck to Ruth raised his face as if worried and leaned against his neck. Relieved by the slightly higher body temperature of the oculus, Ruth stared at Wonock to encourage her to continue as she hugged and calmed her feelings.

"You may not have to hide it if you want it to stay and die, but if you treat it after everyone knows it, it will tell you that you have detoxified it, and you will also know that nature and poison were used by someone. In other words, everyone will know that the killer is in the inn. That way, you won't be in a panic place in this situation where there is no escape due to a snowstorm. Plus, the killer who wanted to let him die naturally, they can all notice. If that happens, I won't have to wake you up. That's why I hid you and treated you."

In view of that aspect, Wonok seems to have hidden Ruth's body. I couldn't hide my surprise that you were surprisingly well thought-out.

"Ruth, speaking of which, did you, did anything weird happen before you fell?

"Is that weird?

"There must have been something about the poisoned cause. Even a small thing, no. It's more of a small thing. It's a very subtle change that I usually don't care about."

Ruth remembered stabbing her fingertips in the needle as she tried to lift Nicolas. I turned my gaze to make sure my bloody balls floated fingers, but there were no more marks there. I don't even have a hole stabbed with a needle.

"What's wrong?

"When I tried to move Mr. Nikola, the needle that was caught on the couch stuck in my finger... the marks were gone..."

"Hmmm...... where is that needle?

"This way, sir."

Ruth told Wonock where the needle was placed between the couch and the floor. And it wouldn't be a good idea to touch it directly, roll it to the nearby with a wooden plate that was nearby. Wonok, who saw it, narrowed his eyes and took the cloth out of his pocket and pinched it up. Keep staring enthusiastically at the needle.

Ruth looked like something surrounded the needle Wonock was grabbing for a moment, but when he rubbed his eyes, it just looked like a needle, and he wondered if it was his fault. I wondered if the poison could have been visible, but there's no way it looks like Ruth without special abilities.

"I see... it does seem that this needle was poisoned"

"I just saw it, you know?

"There's no certainty, but the smell, the rust... well, a lot. Take my word for it. I'm pretty sure Nicola got this poison, I'm guessing the moment you got poisoned you didn't die instantly because Nicola took the majority."

"Really..."

I also felt that the reason Wonok was vague and deceptive, but I only remember Ruth about that needle, so I didn't have any particular suspicions. Besides, there's a good chance Nicolas stabbed the needle in that place.

Though I was thankful that I didn't die instantly, I honestly couldn't be pleased when it was said that maybe Nicolas took a strong poison.

As Ruth sighed small, Wonok, who had been staring at the needle, gave a small laugh.

"What are you laughing at?

"No, when you're lucky, you're just laughing."

"Luck..., Nicolas died!?

"…… No, that man will not die."

"Eh?"

Wonock chuckled as Ruth raised his surprised voice at the words' I will not die '.

"This poison can detoxify even a human magician. I wasn't sure because there might have been a change in the way I got into your system, but I'm pretty sure it was the first time."

"Wait a minute, what's detoxification... Mr. Nicolas has already stopped breathing, right?

"I guess that's because Nicola intentionally stops other organs from moving and spends everything to detoxify them. I thought some people used unusual techniques, but self-defense was a great help."

"... Mr. Nicolas detoxifies himself? That one, wasn't he a swordsman?

"Oh, well, you don't know. That man is not a swordsman, he is a magician. Besides, he would specialize in detoxification among healing techniques. Shapes like that swordsman would be a defense against being licked by others who brought their faces to life."

"Er...?

Wonok said that from the time he showed up at the inn, Nicola had been doing something that prevented him from suffering from poison and other abnormal conditions. Certainly the body I saw when I took it off earlier seemed like a poor minister to the atmosphere in which I was playing swordsman on my face. I also thought it would be too silent, but I thought it might be the effect of the surgery.

"A healer specializing in detoxification is poisoned - is there such a coincidence?

"What do you get from telling my lies? Besides, if you want to know the truth, you can take me to church with the herald when the blizzard stops, right? Then we should be clear because we specialize in it."

"……… well."

Following Herald's state of provisional death, I thought the story that he was not dead until Nicolas was just too much, but I don't think Wonok would be virtuous to please Ruth in vain.

(Or to keep me alert............... no, let's not)

Ultimately, I could tell the truth if I took him to church, and I could feel less suspicious about Wonok, who even detoxified me for not being a specialist in the first place. Of course it may be a lie about each of them, but if it was, the oculus on the side would be responding more differently. The oculus only roared for a moment, but after that, the attitude of what is staring at is normal. If the animals sensitive to the signs aren't alert, I thought I'd believe Wonok wasn't a bad guy.

(Otherwise, my stomach is going to hurt...)

Ruth sighed that it was not suited to sex to constantly turn the gaze of suspicion.

"Anyway, thank you. I was relieved to hear that.... you two must go to church when the snowstorm blows."

"It's early to thank you, Ruth."

"Eh?"

"The problem hasn't solved anything. On the contrary, the worst facts have been confirmed"

"What do you mean?

"The biggest problem, including the Herald thing, was what happened yesterday in Your Room and today in The Warehouse Room."

"Yesterday was my room and today is the warehouse room....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Ruth's body was tightened by the chills, which made her breathless. I have strength in my hand grabbing the oculus. Yesterday was Herald, today was Nicola, and the two rooms were supposed to be...

Wonok nodded quietly when he saw Ruth's reaction.

"That's right. You said yesterday in the hallway of the innkeeper," Sleeping in the Warehouse Room, "and... I mean, the crime scene was supposed to be“ where you were supposed to be. "Luckily, each time you moved your room, and unfortunately someone else visited, perhaps for their own reasons."

"… So what happened to Herald and Nicolas like that?

"I guess it's because those two got hung up on the trap I set up to kill you."

"…………!

To Wonok's words, Ruth felt her emotions swirl deep.
