To Four Thousand Years Later

Is it soluble in any liquid, colorless, odorless and poisonous? Charles was lost in thought about this "flower and wine". Seems like it might come in handy in the future. The key is. This kind of poison can evade the detection poison of the priest, who may be called the court mage now. Because this is essentially similar to tranquilizers and alcohol, if they are tested separately. Non-toxic every time.

But if they are taken separately in a short period of time, they will die peacefully while drunk. Because according to Floros, people in this era rely too much on the spell of "detect poison". After all, the precision of this spell is very high, so even a small amount of toxin can trigger an early warning.

But the principle of this spell is to mark what is harmful to the "user". If the person who drank half of the poison in "Flowers and Wine" uses this spell, he can detect that the other half is poisonous; will show Harmless. It is also for this reason that after "flowers and wine" were used on a lazy king, no one suspected that the king was poisoned to death.

"I see

Charles seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help grinning: "So. Did you ask for the same drink as me.

"That's right. If His Highness Carloman wants to seek the support of the Solomon Church, he can't kill me, let alone let me die in the same way as you.

Floros said calmly: "Of course, that Highness doesn't know that I am the developer of this poison. Her Highness the Queen will not tell him such things.

"Your Royal Highness. Before Floros could ask, "How did you know this name?" In that case, there was a light knock on the door of Charles' room.

"Zhili? Is it convenient for me to come in?"

It was a gentle and elegant female voice. Floros looked at Charles with some surprise. Charles shrugged and opened the door.

At the door was a luxurious middle-aged woman in a dark red long-sleeved cloth robe. There are clearly visible wrinkles on her face, but her skin is well maintained.

1. Beltrada, forty-three years old. Before she entered, Charles saw her name through the door.

Although he was considered middle-aged, he was still too young compared to Pepin III. Charles is now twenty-eight years old, and the mother who gave birth to him was only forty-three years old, so if you count backwards.

Charles turned his head and took a deep look at Floros, the old rascal.

Floros immediately showed a righteous expression. Charles greeted Beltrada respectfully: "What's the matter? Do you still have wine?" He noticed that Beltrada was still holding a small oak barrel.

Beltrada nodded seriously, and affectionately called Charles by his nickname: "Ah, yes, Charlie, I think I have something to talk to you about."

As she spoke, she looked back. After confirming that no one was following her, she gently closed the door. Under the guidance of Charles, Beltrada sat at the small round table in the middle of the room. The oak barrel full of wine was placed on the round table covered with sheep city cloth.

"Wait, here you are.

Only then did she notice Floros sitting quietly in the corner of the room. Ton's eyes widened in surprise. Not daring to be negligent, Beltrada immediately got up and saluted Floros: "Hi, Mr. Turpin. May the wisdom of King Solomon accompany you." Floros reservedly replied: "May he also bless you with health and beauty." , Her Majesty the Queen. "

After all, he glanced at the wine barrel on the table, and refused lightly: "In addition, Your Highness will have an important meeting with His Highness Carloman just in case, and it is inconvenient to drink. Beltrada was shocked when he heard this, and looked Glancing at Charles, then at Floros, he hesitated to speak. Floros smiled kindly: "You don't have to, Your Royal Highness. His Royal Highness Charles already knows flowers and wine. I mean His Majesty ordered me to help His Royal Highness Charles more. "That's it.

Hearing this, Beltrada sighed slightly worriedly. Then, as if letting go of something, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became more natural.

She said softly: "Since Your Majesty has already made a choice, I won't make any trouble.

I see. "Flauros was silent for a while, and then asked, have you been to His Royal Highness Carloman?"

no no. Seeing the two of them talking here, Charles roughly guessed what his mother was going to do.

His mother Beltrada's name was Dark Green. This means that she has absolutely no malice towards Charles, but she is also a person who knows that kind of poison. It was impossible for her not to know what it meant to drink at this time.

Yes, there is another possibility.

"Charles, who I guessed right, interjected: "Are you trying to mediate the struggle between us?" "Flowers and wine are not particularly urgent and secret knowledge for the Frankish royal family. Although there are not many people who can master them, whether it is Charles, who was carefully taught by Tupin, or the one who stays in the palace all year round and moves freely. Carloman, if they want to get some "flowers and wine", it is not difficult. But as one of the very few people who knows the principle and formula, Beltrada is very worried that his two sons will have internal strife for the throne. If A person who knows and has acquired this kind of poison can easily trick the other party into taking the poison by either drinking or not drinking or drinking or not drinking.

But as long as she makes both of them drink. Next, as long as the diet is healthy, no one will be poisoned to death so easily.

"It was originally like this.

Beltrada nodded sadly, and then showed a wry smile: "However, Naruto. You are really smart. No wonder His Majesty chose you." "Your Highness, you know that this is the best choice .

Floros said softly: "Although Carloman's wife, you also know it. Everyone doesn't like the character of His Highness very much."

"He is humble in appearance, but he has no sympathy for the weak. His humility is only for those who are worse than himself. It is not so much humility as it is to please. He often boasted that once he made up his mind, he never changed his mind, so that This proves that he has the heart of a lion and the guts of steel. But in my opinion, that is nothing more than a fool who stipulates that he always walks in a straight line and believes that he is always right. The old voice of the old supervisor sounded.

He paused with his cane. Sitting in the corner of the room watching Beltrada at the table. He said in a low voice: "He has no humble soul. Nor does he have the heart of a lion."

"He's not a strong man, he's just an ordinary person who thinks he's strong. He doesn't have too many shortcomings but lacks talent. This one is enough.

"To put it simply, Carloman is not suitable to be king.
