As someone who almost got publicly humiliated and mocked, Melody hates Belloc the most.
If Valensa hadn't already nearly killed Belloc, she would have wanted to finish him off with two more sword strikes and shove some diamond particles down his throat.
"This guy isn't going to die so easily."
Tia was also explaining to Asashi at the same time:
"He has the bloodline of a natural wood-scaled dragon, and his self-healing ability is much stronger than that of humans. This is the most suitable jungle terrain for him to recuperate and recover."
There's absolutely no need for treatment. Just let him lie there for a few hours, and he should be able to move again.
"So this is ah……"
Asashi then realized what was happening, but she was still a little worried:
"But if we leave him alone... he might get killed by monsters, right? Wouldn't his death be blamed on us? The academy will definitely blame us, won't they?"
"Well..." x3
Valensa, Tia, and Melody all looked away; they actually did have that idea in mind.
However, upon closer reflection, Asashi's words make sense. Even if it's done with the help of a monster, killing Belok right now is still not appropriate.
"Fine, what can I do when I'm so kind?"
In the end, it was Tia who made the move. She took out a magic card and placed it on Belloc:
"This [Illusion] card will keep him here from being discovered by monsters for at least 12 hours... If he dies after that, it's only because he's too useless. I've already done more than enough."
"Uh... but what about the academy?"
Asaki was still a little worried.
"It's okay~~"
Tia waved her hand confidently:
"This idiot probably doesn't realize that he just made a big mistake."
Perhaps, as he said, female soldiers in the War Academy are indeed expected to be prepared to offer their bodies, and some courses even require seducing the teachers as the fastest way to pass.
But we haven't enrolled yet, so we're not really students yet.
Valencia is a noblewoman like me. He publicly humiliated Valencia. According to the kingdom's laws, even if Valencia beat him to death, it wouldn't be a big problem.
However, Valensa's situation is somewhat special now, and killing him would cause some trouble... so let's just let him fend for himself.
"That's...ok."
Asaki eventually agreed to the plan.
Although Belloc was defeated, the trouble he caused has not been completely resolved.
Only five Pearl-class members and one Valencia are still awake in the entire convoy; the rest are fast asleep due to the effects of the alchemical powder.
Tia frowned and thought for several minutes, then sighed helplessly:
"It seems plans can't keep up with changes. We'll probably have to spend the night in the wild again... The effects of this alchemical powder can't be dispelled with divine magic, and we don't have an antidote."
"Then he should have the antidote on him, right?"
Harry pointed his wand at Belloc:
"Although he had ulterior motives towards Melody, he probably didn't intend to actually stop the caravan. He should have had the antidote on him so that the caravan could continue on its way after the assessment."
"But the antidote should be in his magical storage item. He's currently unconscious and can't open it... Or do you want Asashi to treat him?"
Melody gave Harry a disapproving look.
"No, then let's spend another night in the wild."
Harry immediately changed his tune... Belloc almost humiliated his best friend to his face, and he actually wanted to blast Belloc's head off with a fireball.
"Then let's get ready to set up camp..."
Tia was about to return to the carriage when Valensa stopped her.
"perhaps……"
Under the curious gazes of her teammates, the black-stockinged female knight hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Perhaps I have a way to awaken everyone..."
Without waiting for anyone to ask further questions, she drew her longsword and, under Tia's pained gaze, slashed her palm, causing her bright red blood to flow.
"Let's try it on someone first... I already have antibodies to that powder in my blood."
Chapter 134 Human Experimentation
"Antibody?"
It was clear that none of them were hearing the word for the first time, but the literal meaning was easy to understand. They weren't stupid, and they quickly grasped what Valensa meant.
"You mean drug resistance, right?"
Tia then used a more familiar term:
“I once heard the alchemist my family employed say that if a person uses the same alchemical potion repeatedly over a long period of time, they will develop drug resistance in their body, which will greatly reduce the effect of the potion, or even make it completely ineffective.”
"Well, that's what it means."
Valensa nodded:
"I have this drug resistance in my blood, which is why I didn't really fall asleep. After all, I haven't fully broken through to the Pearl level yet."
"It was only a matter of time... You've already awakened your bloodline power, and you've accumulated enough strength long ago. You just need to find a place to meditate for a few days after the assessment."
Tia first smiled and comforted Valensa, then looked somewhat puzzled:
"But how did you develop drug resistance in your body so quickly? Is that also the effect of your secret technique?"
"more or less."
In fact, Valensa didn't mind sharing the secret of mental power with Tia, but since mental power was also related to her troublesome senior sister, it was best to keep it a secret for her senior sister's safety.
So, faced with the curious looks from her teammates, Valensa simply nodded vaguely.
"My secret technique can enhance control over the body to a certain extent. The effects of this technique include quickly developing drug resistance and faking a true state of deep sleep."
"I see……"
Melody and the others wisely refrained from asking further questions, while Asashi was thinking much more.
She remembered what she had seen by chance last time: Valencia replenishing Tia's strength and relieving her hunger.
That must also be a secret technique effect, right?
After all, no matter how you look at it, Valensa doesn't look like she's ever been pregnant...
As she was thinking, Asashi stole a glance at Valensa's breastplate, and their eyes met.
"what happened?"
Valensa's smile was gentle, but Asaki was terrified.
Fortunately, she wasn't a truly naive girl, and her reaction was fairly quick.
"that……"
She pointed to Valensa's tattered shoulder armor and lace blouse:
"I was just thinking...would you like to change your clothes first?"
"Hey?"
Valensa then remembered that there was only a layer of bird feathers stuck to her left shoulder, and she immediately blushed and ran to the arcane carriage without looking back.
A few minutes later, Valensa reappeared wearing a new set of skirt armor, and together they began to try to awaken the rest of the team.
First, we need to test whether the antibodies in Valensa's blood will also work for others.
"Let's use Luca as an example."
Asaki volunteered to drag her boyfriend over:
“I know Luca’s body best… Even if he has any adverse reactions, it will be easier for me to treat him.”
"That's...ok."
Valensa and the others exchanged glances, all somewhat speechless.
Now it's hard for them to judge whether Luca is too lucky or too unlucky to have a girlfriend like Asaki.
Valensa quickly put about half a bottle of blood into the vial and handed it to Asashi.
Asashi then condensed the holy light into a funnel shape, the thinner end of which was only as thick as a pen tip, and then plunged the funnel of holy light into Luca's veins without hesitation.
Even though the Holy Light had excellent pain-relieving and hemostatic effects, Valensa and the others could still clearly see that Luca was in so much pain that he was frowning even in his unconscious state.
"Oops, did I hurt you, Luca? Don't worry, just like so many times before, I'll heal you again~~"
Asahi, however, paid no attention to her boyfriend's pain and even hummed a little tune happily as she injected half of Valensa's blood into Luca's body through the Holy Light Funnel.
The whole process went relatively smoothly, except for Luca, who seemed to be in a lot of pain.
While most low- to mid-priced healing spells can heal wounds, they cannot conjure blood from scratch, so patients who have lost too much blood still need blood transfusions.
The Holy Light Funnel is one of the blood transfusion methods commonly used by priests. Asahi seemed quite skilled at it, suggesting she had trained before, which reassured the others somewhat.
Now it's time to carefully observe Luca and see if Valensa's blood is actually effective.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
"Uh……"
About six or seven minutes later, Luca, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly groaned in pain and began to convulse, his eyelids rolled back and his whole body shook uncontrollably.
"drink!"
Asahi, who was already prepared, reacted quickly and immediately slapped her palm on Luca's body, pouring a large amount of holy light into Luca's body.
Luca's convulsions began to subside, his expression stopped showing pain, and his breathing gradually became steady.
About five minutes later, Luca's signs of pain completely disappeared, and his eyelids began to twitch.
"He's waking up! Miss Valensa's blood is effective!"
Asahi shouted happily, then grabbed Luca and dragged him to the other side of the metal container:
"Please wait a moment, I need to give Luca a physical exam, the kind that requires him to take off his clothes... Miss Melody, you're not allowed to peek, okay?"
"Why would we be spying on him? Only you would treat him like a treasure."
Melody, both amused and exasperated, stopped herself from following along, which she had just been considering.
Seeing the strange expressions on the faces of the others, Melody realized that she had been teased by Asaki.
She gritted her teeth in frustration and shouted towards the other side of the metal container:
"If you're going to get a medical checkup, then get it done properly! Don't waste time doing unnecessary things! Save those for tonight!"
"I know!"
Asaki deliberately dragged out her words as she answered from the other end, her voice sounding rather melancholic:
"I can't do anything even if I want to... Luca isn't reacting at all."
About ten minutes later, Asahi reappeared, followed by Luca, who had woken up but was listless and could barely walk.
"How about it?"
The group looked at Luca with pity before asking Asaki about the outcome.
"Well..."
Asashi hesitated for a moment, then gave Valensa a strange look before saying:
"Miss Valensa's blood has a very good drug resistance effect, enough to wake everyone up, but there is also a very evil... very dangerous energy in her blood."
Luca was in so much pain just now because he was being corrupted by that energy... If it weren't for me, the priest of the Sun Goddess, being there by his side, Luca would probably be dead by now.
The Holy Light infusion I used to heal Luca was quite costly; with my current abilities, I can't do it to everyone in the convoy.
If Miss Valencia can't control that dangerous energy in her blood, I suggest we think of another way.
