While watching him move briskly, Renatus vaguely recalled the words he had uttered.
[Resistant to poison]
What does it mean? Is it a protagonist advantage or something constitutional?
Bradley finished setting up the tent and moved Renatus inside.
My head is still working, but I have a slight fever.
Bradley must have naturally noticed the fever when he picked up Renatus. He looked worried with a frown between his eyebrows.
I grabbed his sleeve as he brought me some water.

I wonder if the brothel owner did it to add value when he sold Bradley to the Count. It is customary for the royal family to acclimate themselves to poison.
Even if the Count refuses to take Bradley in, he can easily use him on the black market if he is resistant to poison. Bradley is strong and handsome, which makes him a good assassin. He would make more money than a male prostitute.
It’s terrible.
It is terrible, but there may be a silver lining for Renatus.
Bradley, who had just put venom in his mouth, is now full of life. He doesn’t seem to be in any discomfort. That means he is resistant to the venom of the venomous serpent.
Maybe I should ask for some of his blood.
In the era before antidote potions, antidotes were made from the blood of humans and animals that were resistant to poisons. It is probably called serum in my past life.
If antidote potions are magical antidotes, serums are medical antidotes.
Renatus remembered the ancient technique of making this antidote.
Because of my weakness against poisons, I have researched all kinds of techniques related to poisons. I think it might be useful.
“Bradley, I’m sorry, can you give me some of your blood?”
“My blood?”
“I might be able to make a medicine from the blood that is resistant to poison. It might hurt, though…”
“…Take as much as you want.”
I don’t need much.
Bradley rolled up his sleeves and offered me his arm.
“-[Incision] – [Centrifuge]-”
Renatus cast the spell.
Bradley’s arm was cut open just enough to extract the blood. Once the amount of blood floating in the air reached the required amount, I closed his wound.
The blood in the air is spun at high speed, separating into parts that will become the serum and parts that will not.
A pale yellow ball appeared. Renatus swallowed it quickly. Unlike the serum that is injected, this medicine works in this way.
“Will this cure you?”
“I don’t know if it’s effective or not because I’ve never tried it…”
“…If I could save Renatus, it would be worth all the poison I have consumed.”
“…”
Renatus also studied poisonous plants and how their poisons could affect the body.
For a small child, the deterioration of health caused by the poison must have been frightening and painful.
Renatus once ingested some mildly poisonous herbs to see if poison was his weakness as in the original story. He struggled with vomiting and fever. He also confirmed at that time that the antidote potion was slow to work.
“Bradley.”
Renatus called out his name.
As he leaned forward to see what I wanted, I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him.
He went along with it and huddled with Renatus.
“You have suffered. Poison is very painful. I can’t imagine how hard young you had worked to stay alive.”
“Renatus…”
“I wish I could have done this for you when you were in pain.”
Bradley twitched as he buried his face in Renatus’ neck.
After a sniffle, he exhaled deeply.
“…Renatus, you have a high fever. Get plenty of rest.”
Bradley patted Renatus on the head. Then he stroked his hair gently.
“This will make you feel better.”
“Okay.”
Bradley devotedly took care of Renatus.
Perhaps because of all the spilled potions, the feeding was still mouth-to-mouth.
It is nursing, so it’s unavoidable.
My face is hot, probably from the fever.
TN: Hi everyone. I found out today that the links for chapters 10 to 11 in Novel Updates are wrongly linked to other novels. It has been an issue since July according to a reviewer. I am sorry I noticed it too late. I already reported the problem to Novel Updates so hope it will be fixed soon. I will try to regularly check from now on. You can comment or message in Discord if you encounter any problems.
I wish everyone well.
Please support me on kofi.
Have a nice day. Enjoy reading.
It’s okay, and thank you 🤗 Your translations make my day better ❤️
