After Natalia finished treating the little girl, she continued to begin treatment for the other poisoned individuals.
Not long after, all the poisoned people inside the Glow Tent had the toxins within their bodies purified.
“Thank you, Miss Natalia!”
After the purification ended and everyone exited the tent, the accompanying physician immediately bowed deeply to Natalia, expressing his gratitude.
“Thank you so much! If it weren’t for you, Miss Natalia, we truly wouldn’t have known what to do!”
Graham, standing nearby, was also extremely excited.
As the caravan leader, seeing the other members of the caravan being treated one by one, how could he not be excited and happy?
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing. It’s just a nun’s duty, that’s all.”
Listening to their thanks, Natalia couldn’t help but scratch her head shyly.
She glanced at Field and Alice beside her, feeling slightly embarrassed.
After all, the main credit for purifying the toxins actually belonged to Alice.
Only Alice’s Light Element could purify the toxins; the Light Element she herself could convert simply didn’t have such strong capabilities.
She was merely Alice’s proxy, yet she was receiving all this praise.
Of course, Natalia felt a bit awkward about it.
However, Alice didn’t care about this in the slightest.
As long as she could help these poisoned people, she didn’t care who received the thanks.
This was perhaps one of the reasons why Alice could become a Light Element Magic User.
“Although the toxins in those poisoned people have been purified, they are still very weak. You must take good care of them. It’s best to rest for two days before continuing your journey.”
Field reminded Graham and the accompanying physician.
“Understood, Miss Feide.”
Graham nodded, then instructed the accompanying physician to continue looking after those people.
Upon receiving the order, the physician returned to the tent where they were.
But in reality, everyone’s worry was somewhat unnecessary.
Although the symptoms caused by the Purple Mist Vine Grass at this stage looked very frightening, Vidar had calculated the dosage when poisoning the water.
At this dosage, the symptoms of Purple Mist Vine Grass would gradually subside after about a day.
Furthermore, at this dosage, it was clearly impossible to cause death or completely destroy a person’s nervous system.
However, the group was unaware of this, which was why they were so anxious.
But being able to purify these toxins in advance was definitely a good thing for them.
“It seems you indeed have some skill.”
At that moment, the brown-haired noble who had acted arrogantly earlier, Walter, appeared before them once more.
“Lord Walter.”
Seeing Walter’s arrival, Graham quickly bowed to this noble who had previously given him trouble.
Even though Walter had been difficult before, he was still a powerful and influential noble with a seemingly bad temper.
Graham dared not be negligent.
As a noble, Walter was not as easy to fool as Graham and the accompanying physician.
Earlier, when the poisoned people in the caravan first showed symptoms, Walter had seen Natalia attempt to use the power of her cross to purify the toxins.
That purification attempt had undoubtedly failed.
But now, Natalia’s cross could suddenly purify toxins.
There was clearly something fishy about this.
And the ones who had been with Natalia the whole time were Field and her group.
Therefore, Walter guessed that the change in Natalia’s cross must be related to Field’s group.
“What do you mean by that?”
Hearing Walter’s meaningful words, Natalia immediately felt a surge of irritation.
What did their act of saving people have to do with Walter?
Furthermore, Natalia hadn’t forgotten Walter’s previous arrogant and overbearing manner, how he had used his power and influence to try to administer private punishment to others in public, even attempting to act against her, showing no respect for the Church.
If it weren’t for Field’s presence, who knows how far Walter would have gone before stopping.
“Nothing much. I’m just becoming more curious about you all, that’s all.”
Walter glanced at the group indifferently.
“Our affairs don’t seem to be any of your business, do they, Mr. Walter?”
Field responded coldly.
“You are correct, Miss Feide.”
Walter gave a slight bow to Field, offering an apology, then continued.
“However, although you have solved the problem of the poisoned individuals and purified the toxins within their bodies, the entire caravan’s water source is still contaminated. Do you have the capacity left to purify the toxins in the water source?”
Walter’s words immediately reminded Graham.
The caravan’s current water source was unusable.
Everyone, whether they were the others or the recently recovered poisoned individuals, all needed water without exception.
Those who had just recovered were in a weakened state and needed water even more.
However, the water source was now contaminated.
Graham looked towards Natalia again, hoping to get help from her.
Natalia turned her gaze to Alice and Field.
Whether the water source could be purified was clearly not something Natalia could decide on her own.
She needed to discuss it with Alice and Field.
Moreover, the pure Light Element within the cross was now almost depleted; Alice would need to replenish it again.
At this moment, Walter also fixed his gaze on the cross held in Natalia’s hand.
“Is the power within your cross sufficient to purify that water source? It seems to have dimmed quite a bit.”
“What’s it to you?”
Hearing this, Natalia frowned unhappily and shot back at Walter.
At that moment, Field and Alice also responded, giving Natalia a look with their eyes.
Natalia immediately understood and agreed on Graham’s behalf.
“We can purify the water source. However, we may need to wait a little while. Purifying those poisoned people just now consumed some of my magic power. After I recover enough magic power, I will naturally be able to purify this water.”
“Thank you so much, Sister!”
“We need to go rest for a bit now. We’ll come find you later.”
Natalia said this to Graham, then followed Field and Alice away.
Of course, before leaving, she didn’t forget to glare fiercely at Walter.
A playful smile appeared on Walter’s face.
His level wasn’t low either.
From the moment Natalia was purifying the toxins from the others’ bodies, he could sense the difference in the Light Element.
The Light Element Natalia had just used was far purer than the Light Element she had used before.
This was clearly not an ability an ordinary nun could wield.
Therefore, Walter became increasingly curious about Field’s identity.
However, the top priority now was to find the poisoner within the caravan.
Fortunately, Walter had also brought his own water supply, which was how he had avoided being poisoned.
This act of poisoning the entire caravan’s water source made Walter furious.
It was a blatant disregard for human life.
Walter was determined to flush out the poisoner and interrogate him thoroughly.
Come to think of it… if the poisoner directly poisoned the caravan’s water source, didn’t that imply the poisoner, like himself, had brought their own water supply?
If that was the case, then the investigation should start with those who brought their own water and were not poisoned.
Of course, Field and her group were also among the suspects, because none of them showed signs of poisoning.
However, in reality, Liyakade, Alice, and Field—all three of them—had been poisoned without exception.
It’s just that Alice, being a Light Element Magic User herself, wouldn’t be poisoned, and she had successfully helped Field purify her toxins.
As for Liyakade, she was a human with Demon Bloodline.
Her symptoms of poisoning were almost completely different from the others.
Therefore, it was impossible to have her crammed into the other tents with the other poisoned individuals; she could only stay in the carriage for now.
This created the impression that Liyakade and the other two were all unaffected by the poison.
