Ruby's Otherworldly Adventure
Chapter 14 Prelude to Gradients
In the quiet and deserted back garden, Meyer pressed his hands on his chest, panting heavily: "Huh...huh, Ruby, what happened, it's the first time I see you so anxious."
"Do you know that everything related to you was poisoned at the banquet today?" Ruby asked bluntly.
"How could that be?" Meyer was taken aback, she never expected that someone would do this to her.
"That's why I also find it very strange. What kind of crazy thing did you do to let people deal with you in such a vicious way?" Ruby was also puzzled. Meyer's social relationship is simple, and she is also a dog The docile and harmless little white rabbit, who would put in so much effort just to deal with a noble lady.
Holding a rabbit apple in her hand, Meyer said anxiously, "I, I haven't done anything excessive, really nothing." As she spoke, she felt a little guilty, and her voice became weaker and weaker.
Seeing Meyer's performance, Ruby felt something strange, and threatened her: "Tell me quickly if you think of anything, do you still want the rabbit apple?"
"Well, actually, I did a very bad thing recently. I killed the plush rabbit that Lily gave me. I shouldn't have fed it so many leaves." Meyer reflected on herself.
"Well, it seems that you don't want your apple now." Ruby lightly hooked the rabbit apple, stuffed it into her mouth, and ate it with a click.
"Okay, it's too much." Meyer said: "Isn't it this? That is, I bought the last out-of-print brooch, and Ashe didn't buy it."
"No." Ruby replied blankly: "But I didn't expect you to do such a thing of hatred."
Seeing what Mayer was about to say, Ruby quickly stopped her, and she also knew what Mayer was going to say, which was similar to raising a rabbit to death.
In order to make Meyer understand more clearly, Ruby simply gave an example: "It is something that hurts other people's vital interests, such as you stealing love, stealing a good friend's lover, or playing tricks on the man who pursues you." feelings and such."
"Actually, seeking money and murder is more in line with this theme, but considering your IQ, I don't expect you to be able to do this. If you can kill someone, you won't have to ask me for help if you run away from marriage."
"Although I don't know what an IQ is, I always feel like I've been underestimated by you." Meyer continued, "And I haven't done any of the things you said, and I have no interest in bullying others." .”
Ruby knew that Mayer was telling the truth, and it seemed that she really didn't have any emotional disputes with others.The Baron and Austin were still counting on sending a living Meyer to please the Earl, so naturally they had no motive for poisoning.Linked to Meyer's life full of silly and sweet whites, and killing Meyer, the only person who can benefit is Ashe.
"It seems that the most suspicious one is that brat Ashe." Ruby murmured.
"Sister Ashe?" Meyer shook her head: "It can't be her, she gave me the medicine to help me fall asleep!"
"So that's how it is." Ruby suddenly realized that the news that Meyer had leaked completely connected the dots she had been wondering all along: "Now I'm 100% sure that the person who wants to harm you is Ashe."
"But why did she do that?" Meyer asked inexplicably. It's not that she didn't believe Ruby's judgment, but that Ashe had a good relationship with her and gave her a lot of help at critical times, which made her extremely grateful. This made her unable to accept the fact.
"The reason is simple." Ruby said firmly, "Because she wants to marry the Earl instead of you, in exchange for more cultivation resources!"
Summoner is a kind of profession in the legal system. Although it doesn't burn as much money as an orthodox mage, it is not something that a mere lady from a jazz family can afford. Even if her uncle is a baron, it is useless.Moreover, some rare items required for advancement can only be found in a prosperous place like the capital. As for getting them, you need to rely on the dual effects of power and money.For these reasons, Ashe tried every means to replace Meyer.
"Sister Ashe wants to marry the earl, you can tell me directly, anyway, I don't want to marry that old man." Meyer murmured.
"Do you think your father will agree? And what will the earl think if there is a temporary replacement?" Ruby sneered: "You will still die as a victim at that time."
"That's true." Meyer was disappointed to find that Ruby was right. Compared with his cousin who was a noble spellcaster, his father was likely to give up on himself who was useless and could only serve as a vase.
With no time to take into account Mayer's depression and unable to extricate herself, Ruby still has one important thing to do.
In consideration of Mayer's life safety, Ruby decided to make a magic equipment that can resist toxins for her, lest Mayer die due to some accident, then she couldn't help crying, her achievement task has not been completed yet!
Ruby randomly found a flat stone platform in the garden, put down the simple operating platform purchased from a blacksmith, and then took out a piece of copper that had been smelted into liquid and two packs of poisonous mushroom spores from her backpack, and carefully put the The molten copper is poured into a figurative mold, cooled to form a ring with a hollow center, then the mushroom spores are mixed evenly, mixed into the inside of the ring along the paper drain, and finally the ring is sealed with a high-temperature flame.
After the frame of the ring was completed, Ruby took out the magic carving knife and carved a series of magic nodes on the surface of the ring to form a magic inscription. At the same time, the magic power was activated to activate the mushroom spores inside the ring, releasing the special magic elements in the spores. After finishing the last stroke, the entire ring glowed with a dazzling purple light, announcing the completion of the decoration.
Meyer looked at the finished ring curiously, a faint purple energy flowed around the small ring, and such light was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.The meticulously carved ring was extremely exquisite. When Ruby said that it was for her, Meyer took the ring with a cheer and began to play with it fondly.
【Toxic Ring】
A ring that makes the wearer invulnerable to poison, and protects against mild poisons.
The ring is mixed with medicine, which can make the monster into a poisoned state when attacking.

In fact, Ruby can enter the game space to create, activate the forging skills there, and it only takes a few seconds for the system to automatically synthesize magic equipment, which is easy, simple and stress-free.But on the baron's territory, Ruby can't really enter and disappear, even if she enters consciously, it is very troublesome.
Meyer eagerly wanted to put the ring on his finger, but the size of the ring was a bit too big, and there were signs of looseness on his hand, and it would slip off automatically if he was not careful.
Ruby watched helplessly as the ring slid up and down on Meyer's slender ring finger, and finally took the ring back resignedly.She rummaged through her backpack, but she couldn't find any suitable materials, so she simply took materials from the local area, removed a decorative silver-plated thin chain from the white swordsman's uniform, passed it through the ring, and lightly touched the end of the thin chain with her fingertips. With a light touch, a tail button was made, and the jewelry that turned into a necklace was gently put back on Meyer's neck.
Changing the ring into a necklace didn't affect Meyer's mood when she received the gift. She happily turned around so that Ruby could fully appreciate her new jewelry.The ring floating on the owner's chest shone with purple light, as if wearing a crystal clear firefly.
The light and shadow effects attached to the magic equipment made Ruby frown. This kind of ostentatious light is simply telling people that I am rich and come to grab it.She held up the ring on the necklace and sprinkled a layer of demon-repelling iron filings on it. The ring immediately became dull, like a low-quality copper ring that can be bought for 5 copper coins at any street stall.
"It's getting ugly," Meyer complained.
"That's better than being robbed when you go out." Ruby put her arms around her chest and looked at her result with satisfaction. It couldn't be more perfect. She likes this kind of things that look bad on the outside and are practical on the inside (what a weird aesthetic) .
"You can make do with this first. My decoration level is too low right now, so I can't make a decoration [Amulet] that can resist all negative states. When my proficiency is full, I will give you a better one." Ruby said.
Although she kept complaining about the simplicity of the copper ring, Meyer obediently put it on next to her body. Although she didn't understand why Ruby went to such lengths to give her this ring, it didn't prevent her from seeing that it was a Precious magic equipment, everyone on the mainland knows the value of magic equipment.
As if seeing Mayer's doubts, Ruby explained: "This is a ring that can resist toxins. As long as you wear this, any toxins below the first level will not be able to help you. Now you can take whatever you want from the banquet." Even if you eat a ton of food, it’s no problem.”
Toxins are divided into ten levels according to their strength. The strongest level ten toxins can even kill gods, and level one corresponds to the physical strength of junior professionals.As for toxins below level 1, they can only affect ordinary people and apprentice-level professionals.Ashe, who was still an apprentice, naturally couldn't get more powerful poisons. According to Ruby's estimation, it would be good if she could get poisons for junior professionals.
A ring that can have this effect is naturally valuable, and even the earl of the capital may not be able to collect one.But Meyer did not refuse this magical jewelry, but accepted it generously, because she knew that since Ruby promised to help her escape marriage at the risk of offending the Earl, she had already paid off what she owed to Ruby.The most important thing now is to protect myself, so as not to let Ruby's efforts on herself be in vain.
"Thank you, I like this gift very much." Meyer stroked the ring hanging on his chest through the skirt, and thanked him sincerely.
"If you die, I will be very troublesome." Ruby said the truth.
After grooming, Ruby escorted Meyer back to the banquet. This time, she was not in the mood to eat, and she focused on guarding the people who appeared next to Meyer, especially Ashe's actions. She didn't relax until the banquet was over. .
Fortunately, Ashe was not so bold as to blatantly come to assassinate, which made Ruby greatly relieved.
Let's turn our attention to Ashe——
At first Ashe was quite annoyed to see Ruby stop the drink, but fortunately Meyer had a snack with the same addition.However, after a few days, she felt something was wrong. She saw that Meyer was still bouncing around alive and well after eating so many extra foods, and she knew that Ruby had hindered her good deed again, which made her grit her teeth with hatred.
The two lacked a sense of tension and didn't know Ashe's reaction at all. In short, within a few days of the banquet, Meyer, who recovered, dragged Ruby to go shopping, and Ruby, who stayed at home for a few days, felt that her whole body was about to go moldy. She readily agreed to Mayer's request, and as a woman (everyone has not forgotten it), even a woman with a very masculine personality can't get rid of the innate desire to shop.
"Do you know that everything related to you was poisoned at the banquet today?" Ruby asked bluntly.
"How could that be?" Meyer was taken aback, she never expected that someone would do this to her.
"That's why I also find it very strange. What kind of crazy thing did you do to let people deal with you in such a vicious way?" Ruby was also puzzled.
