On the evening of August 9th, Shenghui Hospital, which has the best medical conditions in Heiyan City...
It was already after eight o'clock in the evening when Colonel Leibniz arrived at the hospital. The heavily armed soldiers of the Thirty-ninth Division had occupied all the passages of the hospital before Colonel Leibniz arrived. Not only the hospital, but also the entire Black Flame The atmosphere in the city is now tense.
The person who assassinated Zhang Tie was the father of a classmate who disappeared during the trial with Zhang Tie. Before the assassination, that man believed that Zhang Tie had killed his son during the trial, so he wanted Zhang Tie to be responsible for his missing son. The son pays for his life.
If you put aside the identity of Zhang Tie and Mr. Gris, this is just a small matter. But if the identities of two people are added to this matter, then the matter becomes complicated.
Zhang Tie is an officer of the Iron Blood Battalion of the 39th Division of the Iron Horn Legion of the Norman Empire. Gris's father, the dead guy, is the squad leader of the guard team of the Gregory family in Black Flame City. The Gregory family once It is one of the several powerful families in the Black Flame City Coal and Steel Federation. Almost one-seventh of the wealth in the entire Black Flame City belongs to the Gregory family.
In the territory newly incorporated into the empire, a guard captain of a fallen powerful family dared to assassinate an imperial officer in public. The consequences of this have begun to be serious. Who knows if there is any conspiracy against the empire behind this
In particular, the three-eyed crossbow used by the guy who assassinated the imperial officer and the poison quenched on the crossbow arrows both came from the Gregory family, and the Gregory family could not distance themselves from this matter.
The violent maniacs from the Iron-Blooded Camp have already surrounded a family castle of the Gregory family in Black Flame City, ready to rush in and confiscate the family and exterminate the clan at any time. Several other families in Black Flame City are silent. In order to prevent other accidents, Colonel Leibniz has declared martial law in Black Flame City. Now on the street outside the hospital, there are heavily armed and murderous soldiers from Black Flame City patrolling the streets everywhere.
to these soldiers. All they knew about the reason for this martial law was the news that an officer of the Iron Blood Battalion was assassinated by the guards of a rich family in Black Flame City. That was enough.
…
Originally, Colonel Leibniz was not going to come to the hospital because he heard that Zhang Tie was dead. When he heard the news, Colonel Leibniz just sighed secretly. He still remembered Zhang Tie, the man who was affected by the disease. A young man who attracted the attention of the God of War and looked very energetic in the uniform of the Norman Empire. Originally, this young man would become the protagonist of an interesting story at his Notinburg reception and salon. He died unexpectedly, which made Colonel Leibniz feel like he had lost an interesting toy, a fun thing. He felt the same as when he heard the news two years ago when the family cat dropped and broke the fragrant pipe he had placed on his desk.
The poison in Zhang Tie's body is blue frost, a rare poison that is often smeared on weapons or crossbow arrows by assassins. This poison is extremely lethal. Ordinary people can't get it at all. In Black Flame City, only wealthy families like the Gregory family may have some. The weapons and poison used to assassinate Zhang Tie also came from the arsenal of the Gregory family.
As long as blood is seen, Blue Frost's fatal speed is usually within one minute, and most of the time there is no cure. This is not to say that Blue Frost has no antidote, but that Blue Frost's antidote is a hundred times more precious than Blue Frost. Even rarer, and even less likely to appear in places like Black Flame City. Therefore, when he heard the staff officer beside him reporting Zhang Tie's situation and confirming that Zhang Tie's shot was Lan Shuang, Colonel Leibniz already regarded Zhang Tie as a dead person.
At that time, the Iron Blood Battalion was already like a ignited powder keg, murderous and seeking revenge on the Gregory family.
He didn't blame the cat at first. And today, he must go to war for this. Because he was the division commander of the Thirty-ninth Division, and it was his subordinates who were assassinated. In the Black Flame City at this moment, every soldier of the Norman Empire represents the majesty and honor of the Norman Empire. Especially when there might be some political intention involved in the matter, he would not be able to take it lightly.
Throughout the afternoon, the prominent lobbyists from Black Flame City and the furious officers from the Iron Blood Battalion who interceded for the Gregory family completely blocked him in the office and could not get out. In defense, one side wanted Leibniz to order the Iron Blood Battalion to bloodbath the Gregorian family's family castle.
The Gregory family actually sent assassins to openly assassinate imperial officers. Once this charge was confirmed, the Gregory family would not leave any chicken or dog behind.
Encountering this kind of thing, the Gregory family also panicked, so during dinner, the patriarch of another once-powerful family in Black Flame City came forward and invited Colonel Leibniz to a private club in Black Flame City. They had a dinner together. At this dinner, the Gregory family expressed to Colonel Leibniz through an intermediary their "sufficient sincerity" in resolving the misunderstanding satisfactorily. Such sincerity made Leibniz also He was so moved that Leibniz couldn't help but sigh - these black gold families who have been mining in Black Flame City for decades, although the family background is not deep and the family's military force is not worthy of praise, but each one of them is rich. His rich family background puts the nobles of the Norman Empire to shame. God knows how much wealth these families have accumulated after digging mines in Black Flame City for so many years.
On the one hand, the "sincerity" of the Gregory family made Colonel Leibniz's heart beat. On the other hand, this matter was indeed a bit tricky. It would be difficult to solve it to the satisfaction of all parties. Colonel Leibniz also Some scratching their heads.
But at this time, Colonel Leibniz actually heard a piece of news that really surprised him - Zhang Tie, who had been poisoned by blue frost, was not dead yet.
So, Colonel Leibniz, who suddenly saw hope of resolving the matter satisfactorily, came to the hospital where Zhang Tie was treated with great curiosity.
…
Zhang Tie was lying in the hospital bed, with bandages on his upper body shoulders and lower abdomen. His whole face and skin showed a terrifying indigo color, like a big blue eggplant. Until now, Zhang Tie Tie was still in a coma, but his breathing continued, and his chest and lower abdomen could still be seen rising and falling slightly every few seconds.
Leibniz had seen a lot of weird things in his life, but looking at Zhang Tie like this, he had to admit it. This matter can definitely be ranked in the top three among the weird things he knows - at least 7 hours have passed since a person was poisoned by blue frost, and without taking the antidote, that person actually Not dead yet? With the toxicity of blue frost, even a magical beast should be dead at this moment.
"Are you sure he was really poisoned by blue frost?" Leibniz asked the hospital doctors.
As if he had expected such a question, the doctor in question brought a small bottle with blue liquid and a white mouse, and then used an injection needle in front of Colonel Leibniz. After stirring the bottle, the needle was inserted into the mouse.
As Colonel Leibniz watched. The white mouse that was pricked by the needle jumped twice in panic, and then slowly stopped moving for ten seconds. The white mouse was already lying in the cage twitching. After more than ten seconds, the skin of the poor white mouse began to turn blue. After a minute, the white mouse's body looked like a piece of meat that had been frosted. Starting to get stiff.
Colonel Leibniz no longer doubted.
"This bottle of blood is the sample we took from him for testing! It can be 100% confirmed that it is blue frost poison! There is no antidote in the hospital, and we have no choice but to bandage and treat his wounds. Compared to Lan Shuang, the two wounds on his body were not fatal. We originally thought he was dead. But for some reason, this man's body seemed to be different from that of ordinary people. Others in his situation He has probably died hundreds of times. But the blue frost did not harm him as much as expected, so it is simply a miracle that he has been able to persist until now!"
Colonel Leibniz's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of Zhang Tie telling him that he had been struck by lightning. Could this also be Zhang Tie's special ability after being struck by lightning
"This person was once struck by lightning. After the lightning strike, this person also suffered from acquired lightning strike function savant syndrome. He became very strong and practiced very quickly. Did the lightning strike give his body the possibility to fight against blue frost? ?”
"This person has acquired lightning strike savant syndrome?" The doctor at the hospital was also surprised. After thinking for a moment, the doctor nodded, "It is very possible. Our body has endless mysteries, like a treasure house. Who knows? I don’t even know how much his body changed after the lightning strike!”
"Then can he wake up?"
"Because the abdomen of the combat uniform he wore has a very good defensive effect against arrows. The wound on this man's lower abdomen is very shallow. Only the wound on his shoulder is a bit deep, but it is not fatal. Judging from the man's breathing frequency, Lan Shuang The damage done to him has been controlled within a certain range by his body. I can’t tell you that he will definitely wake up, but this possibility does exist!”
"Well, please give him the best treatment. This man is the best officer in the empire and has a bright future!" Colonel Leibniz explained.
"We will try our best!"
Colonel Leibniz then left Zhang Tie's ward. Before leaving, he told a small group of soldiers to stay in the hospital and not to let others disturb Zhang Tie's treatment. At the same time, Zhang Tie's condition should be kept confidential. If Zhang Tie wakes up, Come, let him know immediately. At the same time, when leaving the hospital and getting on the special car, Colonel Leibniz asked his staff to go to the Iron Blood Camp to inform the violent maniacs in the Iron Blood Camp that Zhang Tie was not dead yet and that Black Flame City was under martial law. It was resolved immediately. Colonel Leibniz did not want to make this matter too big, so he lost no time in sending a signal of relaxation to some people in Black Flame City...
Shortly after Colonel Leibniz left, a large number of officers from the Iron Blood Battalion, headed by Battalion Commander Reinhardt, rushed to the hospital and arrived at Zhang Tie's ward.
Seeing Zhang Tie who was still breathing after being poisoned by the blue frost poison for such a long time, a bunch of officers from the Iron Blood Battalion were stunned.
Knowing that this could also be some side effect of acquired lightning strike savant syndrome caused by lightning strikes, Reinhardt asked Guderian seriously this time, "How about I go try..."
"If you unfortunately die under a lightning strike, there will be no second person in the entire Thirty-ninth Division who has cultivated the iron-blooded fighting spirit. If there is no person who has cultivated the iron-blooded fighting spirit to take over your position, the three The Iron-Blooded Battalion of the Nineteenth Division is about to be disbanded! This is a huge blow to the Iron-Blooded Battalion and the entire Thirty-ninth Division. The Thirty-ninth Division has become the only one in the Iron Horn Legion that has been defeated by the God of War. Abandoning the troops, not only us, but Colonel Leibniz will not agree to your doing this..." Guderian replied calmly.
Reinhard could only sigh. Everyone looked at Zhang Tie lying on the bed with envy at this time. Then everyone discovered that just a moment after everyone came to the ward, Zhang Tie's eyebrows The touch of blue seems to have become much lighter...
And in Zhang Tie's consciousness space that no one could detect, at this time, a piece of information appeared directly in Zhang Tie's consciousness...
"The Manjushahua Cause and Effect Treasure Tree has completed the analysis and reconstruction of the toxins in the body. The toxins in the body are being removed and the body functions are recovering. At this moment, the poison-refining fruit can be generated. Will it be generated?"
"yes!"
