Hearing the noise, the little swan's eyes suddenly lit up like a small light bulb.

She said, "Hey, something seems to be happening over there. Should we go take a look?"

Louis looked the little swan up and down.

Something's not right!

He always felt that the little swan had deliberately brought him here.

However, Olivia's little face looked so innocent that he was a bit hesitant.

"Could it be that I'm wrong?"

Isn't the little swan always just dazed?

Even if someone tricked her into thinking there was good food on Charming Street, with her simple mind, she might actually believe it.

Alright, even saying that, he couldn't convince himself.

Previously, because the little dazed swan seemed so harmless, he never thought in this direction.

Looking back now, many of the little swan's actions in this life don't seem to match the contents described in the future diary.

"I should find a chance to test this!"

At this moment, Olivia was still unaware that her unusual behavior had already aroused Louis's suspicion.

Her crimson eyes blinked, looking very "curious".

Louis didn't speak.

The little swan painstakingly led him here, and he wanted to see what was really going on.

So he said, "Shall we take a look?"

The little swan nodded slightly.

However, the sincere invitations from the beauties on both sides of Charming Street made the blush on her face linger.

Not good.

She only thought about solving the matter but forgot she had no experience visiting Charming Street.

Unconsciously, she bowed her head.

Annoying!

The beauties here on Charming Street were already flaunting their charms, but why was the proportion with ample cleavages so overwhelming?

In comparison, her own flatness made her feel uneasy.

Alas!

The little swan could only urge Louis to walk faster.

Before long, they arrived at a brothel already surrounded by a dense crowd.

Louis patted a bystander and asked:

"What happened?"

The onlooker Tino replied without turning his head:

"What else could it be? Someone drank poisoned wine."

"I heard it's someone from the Royal Guard's entourage."

"Tsk tsk tsk, how fragile, dying on Charming Street after drinking poisoned wine will bring shame to their family."

After hearing this, Louis wore a contemplative look in his eyes.

"Why does this feel so familiar?"

Louis took a moment to recall that this was something recently mentioned in the future diary update.

Olivia deliberately asked:

"I just heard someone shouting 'Young Master Rein', could it be the son of Captain Jino, Rein Kaichen?"

Someone nearby answered, "Yes."

Now, it was Louis's turn to change expression.

He shouted, "William!"

Suddenly, a strong wind howled from above, accompanied by a thundering crash, and William appeared on the cracked stone pavement:

"Royal Guard at work, please step aside and don't disturb the scene."

The crowd that was packed tightly together quickly parted to form a path.

Grabbing Olivia's hand, Louis headed straight inside.

Upon entering, they saw a man and a woman foaming at the mouth, dragged out of a room.

The man's face was black.

The woman's face was pale.

The priest called by the brothel was casting a healing spell, stabilizing their flickering breathing like candles in the wind.

Louis stepped forward, speaking in a deep voice:

"What type of poison is it?"

The priest, with a face covered in sweat, responded:

"I don't know, but it seems to act directly in the blood."

"Sir, if you're not helping, please don't disrupt my treatment; my magic is barely keeping them alive."

Louis's heart skipped a beat.

Blood-dissolving toxins were notoriously hard to deal with in his previous life.

In a world where medical techniques relied more on healing skills, it was precisely these toxins that were healers' greatest nemesis.

Louis had previously studied various healing spells and realized that in this world, the mortality rate of hemolytic toxins was even higher than blood loss from severed limbs that could cause sudden death.

Ordinary adventurer teams below pristine rank, even with the best priest, found these toxins daunting.

For most toxins, even if they caused direct tissue necrosis or dissolution, priests could cut away the necrotic parts and forcibly heal the wounds with magic.

But for hemolytic toxins, their real destructiveness lay in continually rendering the blood inactive.

Thus, conventional treatments found it difficult to counter this type of toxin.

Even pristine-ranked priests, without specialized training against this type of toxin, could only use magic to keep the poisoned person alive.

The Imperial Capital naturally doesn't lack such healers.

But evidently, both had been poisoned for some time.

By the time someone with the ability to heal arrived, it might already be too late.

"Olivia, do you have any healing artifacts that can keep him alive?"

"I do..."

"Use them first; I'll see if I can apply the traditional healing methods from my homeland."

The little swan opened her mouth, intending to say, "I brought the most advanced healing artifacts," but swallowed it back.

"If I can save this expensive artifact, that'd be ideal."

"After all, even mid-level artifacts can keep them alive; if not, we'll use the trump card without hesitation."

Thinking this, the little swan akimboed, a smug smile appearing on her face.

Today's show-stealer is certainly me!

Oh, nation of allure, today you are just a tool for my public display of power.
