Chapter 147 Abnormal Situation

Although Alphonse did not feel anything unusual, the true energy of the Innate Formless Divine Skill reacted on its own, indicating that the meat he had just eaten was indeed problematic.

Could it be that the royal chef made a mistake in cooking, resulting in the meat slices being slightly poisonous?

Alphonse tasted several other meats on the plate, and without exception, his internal energy was agitated, expelling any abnormal factors that had invaded his body.

Completely unafraid of poison, Alphonse naturally swallowed it.

I picked up the glass and took a sip; it was still the same.

Both the food and the drinks contained toxins.

But seeing the nobles chatting and laughing in the hall, all with the most polite smiles, showcasing their rich social experience, it would probably be a bad idea to rashly shout that the food and wine were poisoned.

No one will believe that.

Moreover, this took place at a banquet welcoming foreign envoys.

Alphonse was certain that this was definitely not a trap set by Queen Junon.

With her fighting skills, there's no need for her to resort to these fancy tricks.

The delegation sent by the Kingdom of Hailant consisted of only a few people. If the Queen wanted to eliminate them, they wouldn't even have a chance to enter the capital. They could be buried outside.

Why bother with a grand welcome, treating them like state guests, and then poisoning them?

At this moment, the only enemy Alphonse could think of was the nobles of the Senate.

After the nobles of the Senate surrendered, they must have been hampered by the Queen in some ways. Moreover, the Queen had the idea of ​​unifying the royal power. Could it be that this is why they wanted to use some schemes and tricks?

However, Alphonse still couldn't understand why they would choose this time to make their move.

Do you want to provoke a war between the Kingdom of Hailant and the Kingdom of Bastian?

If it were for power, there would be no need to go to such lengths, right?

It would not benefit either of them to go to war.

In an instant, Alphonse had a wild idea.

Could it be that the delegation from the Kingdom of Hailant came to the capital just to cooperate with the Senate in dealing with the Queen?

Look at that white-bearded old man at the head; he does indeed possess a strong elemental power of light, making him a powerful figure.

But this is ultimately just a suspicion.

Whether it's a coup or war between the two countries, it will harm the interests of Coldwind Territory.

Coldwind Territory is located on the northern border, and it will definitely be drawn into any war that breaks out there.

The Queen can be considered my temporary support; I can't let her fall.

I looked around.

No nobleman showed any unusual behavior.

It seems that this poison is not only colorless and odorless, but also does not produce symptoms of poisoning in a short period of time.

Alphonse himself was unsure of the specific harm it would cause, since the toxins were eliminated by the true energy of the Innate Formless Divine Skill as soon as they entered his body.

Alphonse didn't know any of the nobles attending the banquet, nor could he distinguish who was friend and who was foe.

Alphonse put down the plate and spoke to Mia telepathically, "Mia, stop eating. Do you feel anything unusual about your body? Don't make any noise, answer me telepathically."

Mia was taking small bites of pastry when she heard this. She paused for a moment, quickly checked herself, and replied telepathically, "No, I didn't notice anything unusual."

"The food is poisoned, I can't be wrong. Don't react too much, relax. I'll channel my inner energy into your body and see." Alphonse said, putting his arm around Mia's waist.

Mia's body stiffened instantly, her muscles tensing, but she understood that Alphonse had no intention of being frivolous, and she relaxed again.

Alphonse picked up the wine glass with one hand and transferred his inner energy to it with the other.

This action inevitably drew strange looks from the servants behind the table.

The half-elf lady before them was not wearing the crinoline dress popular among noblewomen; instead, like the queen, she was dressed in a more androgynous style.

Unexpectedly, this young nobleman would like this style.

They actually dared to flirt openly at the banquet.

But this was not something they dared to criticize, so they quickly lowered their heads again, as if they hadn't seen anything.

As soon as Alphonse's true energy entered Mia's body, it first flowed through her dantian without her noticing anything unusual. Then, it started from her dantian, passed through her chest, and went straight up to her heart.

Immediately, they realized something was wrong.

A barely perceptible wisp of toxin lingered around the heart meridian.

If it weren't for the fact that the true qi of the Innate Formless Divine Skill has a special reaction to toxins, it would be difficult to detect.

The wisp of toxin was immediately absorbed into the true energy, then drawn out and expelled in an instant.

"You were poisoned, but I've already sucked the toxins out."

Mia was shocked, but she also knew that Alphonse wouldn't joke around in this situation. "Who do you think poisoned it? What do we do now?"

"It must be a conspiracy against the Queen. Let me see how to inform her." Alphonse was preparing to inform the Queen via telepathy.

But the banquet hall was far too large, and Alphonse headed towards the corners as he went to get the food.

Being so far from the Queen's location, and with so many noble servants constantly moving around blocking the way, it would be a troublesome matter to try and transmit the sound.

When I was at my peak, I could have done it easily, but now my skills were lacking and I couldn't quite manage it.

Alphonse had no choice but to lead Mia along the edge of the table, hoping to find a closer place to transmit his voice again.

But then the Queen, who was chatting and laughing with the white-bearded old man from the Kingdom of Hailant, suddenly frowned, said something to the old man, and turned to walk towards the side door at the back of the banquet hall.

Immediately, the elderly nobleman who was with her also followed.

Alphonse was filled with doubt. Could it be that the Queen had noticed something amiss?

The higher the level of one's fighting spirit, the easier it is for this poison to take effect.

On second thought, I felt a surge of joy; this time everything was settled.

You can avoid the guests in the banquet hall and talk to Queen Junoen and that old nobleman.

As long as they have a powerful relationship with Chen Qing and he can cure them of the poison, these two sword saints with their formidable combat strength will be enough to suppress the entire scene.

As Mia and I walked to the side door, we were stopped by the guards.

"Your Excellency, this is the royal palace; you cannot trespass without permission!"

Alphonse didn't bother arguing with the guards; in this urgent situation, he had no choice but to act quickly and not worry about anything else.

With a flick of his finger, several wisps of wind shot out silently, striking several vital points on the guards.

The guard froze on the spot like a statue, unable to move a finger or utter a word.

Only his eyeballs could move, casting a terrified look at Alphonse.

Alphonse subtly adjusted his posture to prevent any inappropriate movements from being noticed.

Then he led Mia and quickly walked into the corridor.
