The sea breeze at night is very cool.

In the cabin where Donoghue was resting, Upton and Ted came to invite Dennis Bartholomew and his party to have dinner together.

"We held a welcome banquet for Earl Dennis and everyone, and please be sure to appreciate it." Upton smiled generously, his face was very bright, and he looked into the room, "The Earl still needs to meet with us rough people. We stayed together on the ship for a while, so I want to introduce Lord Earl to my crew to get acquainted, so as to prevent them from being rude and offending the Earl in the future."

"Captain Upton, I'm really sorry... We were trapped there for too long, Earl Dennis was already in poor health, and coupled with the sun and rain for the previous period, the Earl fell ill as soon as he boarded the ship." Bashaluo Miao greeted the two of Upton, with serious brows and slightly frowned, apologetic: "I really failed Captain Upton's kindness."

"Huh? The Earl is sick? I'll ask someone to call the ship's doctor to show Earl Dennis!" Ted frowned, and hurriedly pretended to be anxious: "You can't be careless on this ship. Sometimes even a small A cold can also turn into a serious illness."

"Don't bother you two. Our ship's doctor has been with the Earl all along. It's fine to have him take care of the Earl... It's just that some medicine is missing at that time, and we may need to ask Captain Upton for help." Bartholomew said very earnestly. Said: "Earl Dennis is already resting on the bed now, and our group of current subordinates should stay in the cabin to eat and take care of the earl. Duke Mann explained."

Rex Herman, Dennis' elder brother, is also the man who inherits the position of the old duke from the previous generation. There are not many dukes in each empire. You can count them with your fingers, so basically businessmen who walk around know the name of every duke.

"In that case, just come to us if you have something to do. In two or three days, we will be able to dock, and the Earl will be able to rest on the shore." Hearing what Basha Lomeo said, Ted looked at the people in the room. Looking at a hammock, I saw that Dennis was indeed lying on the hammock, looking sick and lethargic.He frowned, "Then we will send someone to bring the dinner later."

"Thank you both." Palu grinned and pretended to be grateful.

The two saw that Bartholomew didn't let them in to see Dennis, so they nodded, turned and left, and walked to the deck.

Ted and Upton walked side by side on the deck, and their faces were not very good-looking.

"Hmph! I didn't expect this group of guys to be vigilant." Upton turned his head and asked with a straight face, "I think since they proposed the name of Duke Herman, could they really be the nobles who died? If so What if Dennis is really a noble?"

Ted sneered, shook his head and said, "Captain, who is Duke Herman? How could he come to thank the civilians for the life and death of a mere pirate?! Besides, Dennis is really an earl, and he really has a relationship with Hull. Duke Mann has something to do with it...but since he dares to collude with pirates, Duke Herman will pretend not to know about it for the sake of reputation."

"The other party is the duke of the French Empire, and we are businessmen of the Portuguese Empire. Even if the other party blushes with anger because of this matter, there is nothing they can do about us on the surface."

Ted grinned and lowered his voice, leaned close to Upton's ear and whispered: "The most important thing is, no one knows that they got on our boat... When we get Bashalomy and the man named Donahue into the boat without anyone noticing The guy whose head was removed, presumably no one will know that we did this..."

"Of course, we are serious businessmen, how could we do such a thing? People who like to take off other people's heads without anyone noticing are usually pirates, aren't they? Isn't that how Count Dennis had an accident? We also It's just revenge for Dennis..."

"You're right." Upton's eyes lit up when he heard it, he slapped his thigh, and quickly nodded in agreement: "These pirates are really vicious, Earl Dennis just killed them like this, we are just Just to avenge the count."

……

The meals were delivered by several sailors on the Upton ship. Donahue and his party stared at the black bread, fish soup, bacon strips, half a roast lamb and a small bowl of vegetables in the wooden basin, silently dazed.

"There should be nothing else in the bread and bacon. If we sprinkle the medicinal powder on it, we will find it. If there is something, it must be mixed in this bowl of vegetables and fish soup, or on the roast lamb." Donahue Glancing at everyone, the black bread and bacon prepared during sea voyages are completely different from those in the 21st century. The bacon and black bread here are like bricks. It is difficult to swallow without soup, so any sailor just needs to Even when there is hot soup, he will drink a bowl, which is very easy to become a tool for the other party to prescribe medicine.

"Doctor Donoghue, we are waiting here, eat and see! Have they poisoned you?" A sailor next to him tried to urge him, but the smell of roasted lamb made him swallow his saliva.

Donahue: "..."

Fog Grass!Why don't you try it yourself? !

Seeing that Donoghue had no intention of doing anything, another sailor smiled and patted him on the shoulder, looking like two good brothers, "Doctor Donoghue, we know you don't want to, but you are a doctor, and we are just ordinary sailors, fish soup We can't taste whether it's drugged or not, only a professional like you can know."

Donahue: "..."

Weeping silently in his heart, he was shot even while lying down!

Who the hell told these bastards that a doctor can taste all poisons? !

Although these foods are not good-looking, but now they have been hungry for almost a day, and the smell of the roasted lamb is everywhere, so now even if they know that the other party may have fallen into a trap in these foods, everyone still can't restrain their body instincts The conditioned reflex, especially the growling stomach, reminded them all the time that a group of people looked at Donohue with green eyes!

One of the sailors even took a small spoonful of the fish soup in the wooden basin and put it into a bowl, and stuffed it directly into Donahue's hands.

Donoghue lowered his head, looking at the fish soup in the bowl in his hand, the corners of his mouth twitched, just about to refute.Basalomew, who was next to him, took the wooden bowl of fish soup from Donahue's hand without saying a word.

"What are you doing?! Bartholomew!" Donahue was taken aback, and a bad premonition rose from the bottom of his heart——

I saw Basalomew standing beside him with a cold face, without frowning, he drank the small spoonful of fish soup into his mouth in one breath, so fast that no one could react, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Donoghue was full of surprise, and looked at Basha Lomew anxiously, this guy...how could this guy suddenly rush up to drink the fish soup instead of him?He thought that even if someone came up to replace him, it would be Harvey and Miles, but he didn't expect that before the two of them came, this guy Basha Lomeo... actually...

"You are a doctor. If something happens to you, who will save you?" Bashalomyu turned his face away, not looking at Donahue, and lowered his voice, explaining a little stiffly.

But they will think of a better way, the best of both worlds, won't they?For example, find someone to catch two mice in the underground cabin later?Or there is no need to drink that spoonful of fish soup in one go, is it?

Donoghue had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know whether he hated iron or steel, or was moved, but more of it was worry. Although he tried his best to avoid Bashalomyu during this time, he did see that Bashalomyu was on the way. Taking care of him, no matter in terms of patience and attitude towards him, is different from ordinary people——

"How do you feel now? Is there any discomfort?" Donohue suppressed the messy thoughts and feelings in his heart, and took a deep breath. What he had to do now was what a doctor should do.

If there is really some poison in Upton's food this time, he must find a way to avenge Basalomew!

"Not at the moment." Basalomeu shook his head, his expression was unusually calm, as if the one who lost his composure and stiffened before was not him.

"It's fine if you don't have one." Donoghue breathed a sigh of relief, but then he became worried again, "If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me."

Poisons and drugs have been used by people a long time ago, and these things can still be tasted by people at the beginning. Later, in order to prevent others from discovering the poison in drinks or food, many people will choose to use them every time. Add it up little by little from time to time, so that no one will feel that the other party is poisoned to death, but no one knows it. It is the so-called common chronic poison...

A little later, some people began to add other things to the medicine, so that people could not taste the taste, so there was the silver needle test method, and the method of directly using people to test the poison.

"Yeah." Bashalomyu nodded, looking at Donoghue's extremely worried face, but slowly raised the corners of his mouth, "I will tell you if I feel uncomfortable—in fact, as a captain , Before I let all the crew members get the 1000 gold coins of spoils and return home, I was quite resigned to my life, so you don't have to worry that I will hold back!"

"Then wait for half an hour first. If nothing happens after two hours, it should be about the same." Donoghue frowned tightly. He hesitated for a while, but decided not to think things too complicated. Industrial poisons, some of which are only the most traditional plant and animal pharmaceuticals, most of them will take effect within one to two hours, and those poisons that take a long time to take effect may not be brought with them by the other party.

Once an attack occurs, the first thing he considers may be the need to lavage the other party's stomach, but he doesn't know if it will be too late.

Donahue looked at Basha Loromew, his head turned pale with worry.
