Chapter 7 Chapter 5 The Poisoner

The successive blows made Earl Raymond very disappointed with his son.After being disappointed, he worked harder. Don't get me wrong, he doesn't have the mind to spend any more time with such an idiot son with no talent.The earl put the direction of "effort" on his beautiful countess. Since this son is already a waste, he is doomed to be incapable of inheriting his own family and unable to carry forward the family.Then... I have to work hard to have another son! The earl's continuous month of sowing and cultivating on the lady finally paid off.Soon, the countess became pregnant again, and in the winter of the second year, Count Raymond got his second son as he wished.

While the entire Earl's Mansion was celebrating this happy event, Du Wei still stayed in his room and read the books on "Potion Science" that he had collected with great difficulty. Thankfully, the last sentence of that mage Clark before he left still had an effect.Under the thought of "what could be worse", the Earl simply let his idiot son study Potions. For almost a whole few months, the count didn't have the heart to visit this son who had completely disappointed him.Even the Countess, who was originally loving to Du Wei, had to reduce the number of visits to her son because of her pregnancy and labor.

On the second day after his mother gave birth to a younger brother, Du Wei was led to the earl's room by a servant, and visited his weak mother and his younger brother. It can be seen that the earl is very satisfied.Because this newborn son, like the tradition of the Luo Lin family, cried loudly and powerfully, and even though he was just born, it could be seen that he must be strong in the future. Earl Raymond didn't even have the interest to take another look at this useless son. After greeting him politely, he waved him away.Although the countess who was lying on the bed couldn't bear it, it happened that the crying of the newborn baby attracted her attention.

Du Wei retreated quietly, behind him was the Earl's satisfied laughter and the crying of the baby.Even though his heart was already numb, Du Wei couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He reminded himself in his heart: Don't think about it.You are not from this world, he is not your father...and she...she is not... Thinking of that rainy night, when this beautiful woman knelt down in front of the goddess statue all night for herself, Du Wei felt a bit of sadness in his heart, and shook his head vigorously. Trying to get rid of distracting thoughts in his heart, Du Wei could only turn all his attention to his studies.

It is undeniable that Du Wei is still very interested in the magic of this world.Although the mage Clark believed that he had no talent, Du Wei, who was unwilling in his heart, still had a fluke mentality.And the majestic Earl's Mansion naturally has a considerable collection of books, many of which are about magic. After reading many books, Du Wei had to admit that Master Clark was right, he did not have the talent to become a magician.Because even if he sat for a day and a night, he couldn't feel any fluctuations of magic elements.Another time, he even fell asleep unconsciously. Afterwards, Du Wei, who never gave up until the Yellow River, turned his energy to what Master Clark called "magic pharmacy".

Because, it seems, magic pharmacy is also a kind of magic.Moreover, potion masters are barely considered a type of magician.Although, Du Wei asked the servants in the mansion to know what status this so-called "magician" has in the hearts of people in this world! In this world, although people say that potion masters are also a type of magician, even the Society of Magic has publicly confirmed this in black and white.But practically speaking, what people really think is "is this also a magician??" Potion science, as the name suggests, is the study of the configuration of various magic potions.

And after hearing a lot, Du Wei also made a very appropriate metaphor in his heart: If you compare the medical industry in the world in your previous life.Then, a real magician is equivalent to a doctor of various subjects in a hospital!As for the potion master... At most, he can be regarded as a little nurse who helps the doctor.Although they all work in the hospital, the status and income of nurses are far inferior to those of real doctors. But after careful study, Du Wei became very interested in this potion science! In his view, this is a very new field. For example... How to use the eyeballs of Dorog's jumping frog, plus purple wormwood, to configure it into a kind of dumb that can make people lose the ability to speak in a short period of time.For another example, how to use the saliva of Starfin Swordfoot, add clover and the liver of a kind of Keke triangular scale fish to grind out a medicine powder that can make people petrified!

For another example, the powder that is extracted from a kind of fire scale grass after being dried and crushed can cause instant combustion if it is sprinkled anywhere! It's just that, whether it's the names of animals or plants mentioned above, especially things like "jumping frog", "jianchilong", "keke triangular scale fish" and "fire scale grass", there are nine out of ten. This is something that Du Wei has never heard of. like what? This is simply like the chemical system in another world! Du Wei never thought that the so-called magic could be explained in this way!

Drugs that make people dumb, drugs that turn people into stone, drugs that cause burning... Interesting, isn't it? In Du Wei's mind, the profession of potion master is actually more like a doctor.It's just that doctors save people, while potions masters are better at making poisons that hurt people. What Du Wei didn't know was that his idea coincided with the evaluation of magic pharmacists in this world: poison pharmacists. ... The days passed day by day.Du Wei is still addicted to this magical pharmacy.However, his knowledge is still limited to theoretical reading on paper.After all, many strange raw materials mentioned in magic pharmacy are not available even in the earl's mansion of the aristocratic Luo Lin family.

Only those real wizards' laboratories would have these materials.In the field of magic, pharmacists usually act as assistants and helpers for real magicians. Moreover, for such a young child, even if he is the earl's son, no one would dare to provide him with those dangerous magic medicines! Before I knew it, six years had passed.In the past six years, Du Wei's younger brother has grown up vigorously. This child named "Gabri" is more like a typical descendant of the Rollins family than the idiot Du Wei. Du Wei's younger brother has been healthy and active since he was a child.At the age of six, he has already started training as an alpha swordsman, the captain of the bodyguard.It is said that the chief guard had a good opinion of the earl's second son.Almost everyone in the house regards him as the future hope of the Luo Lin family!And the Earl obviously devoted all his care to his second son. He even decided to wait another two years. When Gabriel was eight years old, he could officially teach him the family martial art Dou Qi of the Luo Lin family!

The love of the servants, the praise of the chief guard, the strangeness of the father, and even an enlightenment teacher invited thought that the earl's second son was very talented.It was even heard that for the sake of the future of the family, the Earl has decided to marry a certain family in the imperial capital and make a grand marriage for his six-year-old son! Outside of this, Du Wei, the eldest son of the family, was forgotten in a corner. The count seldom saw his eldest son even for a month.The only one, only the countess, often came to see her son in private, and even occasionally at night, the countess would come to Du Wei's room barefoot and wearing pajamas, holding her poor child and singing a lullaby to him Listen, lull him to sleep. Only at these times will Du Wei's heart soften.Sometimes, he had to pretend to be asleep to avoid the moment that made him cry. Often, the countess' tears and sighs accompanied him to sleep. Finally, when Du Wei was thirteen years old and his younger brother Gabriel was seven, the news came.It is also the final decision made by the Earl! Starting from next year, he will personally teach Gabriel martial arts, and pass on the family secrets of the Luo Lin family.At the same time, Earl Raymond also made a marriage agreement with the Minister of Finance of the Empire. The two political allies rely on this marriage to further cooperate, and Gabriel's future wife will be the granddaughter of the current Minister of Finance of the Empire (now 9 years old)! In fact, there is also news that: this marriage was settled very early!It was set before Gabriel was even born!However, it was Du Wei who was originally decided to marry the daughter of the Minister of Finance!It's just that now Du Wei has been considered a hopeless idiot, so the marriage partner who shoulders the responsibility of the two alliances has become his younger brother, the genius Gabriel! As for Du Wei... On a dark and stormy night, he left the imperial capital in a carriage.The destination of his trip is the Luo Lin family's territory in the southern part of the empire, Kurt Province!The announcement to the outside world was that "Master Du Wei, who is thirteen years old and about to become an adult, will go to the family territory to take care of the family's property." In fact, Du Wei knew very well: he was assigned. Looking after the family business?That was just a joke.Everyone knows that the important business of the family is in the imperial capital!In the political center of this empire!And those industries in the family territory... those farmlands?those farmers?And those taxes?These only need to send a few housekeepers! In fact, the exact news Du Wei got was that he would probably leave the Earl's Mansion and live in the family's ancestral home in a certain countryside in the southern Cote province!And... without the Lord Earl's call, he would never even think about returning to the imperial capital in this life! Everyone understood that the title of "Heir of the Luo Lin Family" had been transferred from Du Wei to his seven-year-old genius brother.
