The refined Thousand-Poison Antidote became a wine. Jin drank it whole, and his vision went black.

He fainted right then and there.

When he opened his eyes, instead of Quikantel, Enya was at his side.

“Eeerrrrr…”

“Ah, Lord Jin. You’ve finally awoken!”

“Enya? Where’s Miss Quikantel? And what do you mean by ‘finally’?”

Jin thought he lost consciousness for only a short while. However, it was odd that Enya was watching him instead of Quikantel.

“Miss Quikantel is in the room over there. And you were knocked out for five days.”

“What?! Five days?!”

“Indeed. I thought you actually died. While you were half-dead, your entire body turned black and then normal again. Probably did that dozens of times. It was super cool!”

It only took him five days due to the Runcandels’ blessed body.

A normal knight would require at least a month to fully absorb the antidote. Quikantel knew this but didn’t tell him. She thought that not knowing would be better in any case.

“So I presume you are immune to all kinds of poison? Congratulations, milord. You don’t know how wonderful it is for me to see you make achievement after achievement! Anyways, everyone! The lord has awoken!”

Enya ran out to the hallway and shouted, and one by one, more people sought Jin. Gilly, Murakan, Quikantel, Alisa, and Jet. While everyone gathered, only Kashimir was absent.

He was currently fighting his way through the monsters of the Black Sea after ending his little drink with Cyron.

“Oh my goodness, Young Master! Great work! And Congratulations!”

“You said you’ll be off of Nameless’s radar for ten years, right? You should still be careful during that time. The Thousand-Poison Antidote is an absorbable elixir. Which is why it’s passed down to the best executioners of Nameless.”

Quikantel sat on the bed.

“I thought you’d be out for at least a week, but you got up in five days. There was also an intent for you to rest, so don’t think of it too badly.”

“I don’t feel bad at all. Consuming it without knowing is better. If I knew about it, then it would’ve been really nerve-racking.”

“Congratulations, Young Master. Thousand-Poison Immunity… You’ve achieved what most knights dream of.”

“Hey, kid. Drink this as a celebration.”

Murakan handed him a goblet filled with an unidentifiable black liquid.

“…The hell is this? This… I don’t think this is something a human can drink.”

Sizzle, sizzle.

Bubbles burst and smoke rose from it.

“What else do you think it is? It’s poison. While you were asleep, Jet got it from the Vermont Black Market. Drink up. I wanna see the immunity for myself.”

“Murakan, are you crazy? Seriously? Experimenting on me as soon as I wake up…”

However, all of his companions around the bed looked like they were awaiting results. Even for dragons who lived thousands of years, immunity was not a common sight.

Even Gilly only acted like she was stopping Murakan.

“Haaa, alright.”

Gulp, gulp…!
