206 Chapter 198 - An 'Ordinary' Village.

"Don't worry... I'm al... *cough*..." All of the sudden, Dominic coughed blood and lost his consciousness.

"Uncle Dominic!!!" Maria shouted, and Nathan immediately rushed into the room as he heard the commotions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Secret base, lounge, Chris and Ben are still analyzing the samples collected. Chris is getting more troubled as they get more detailed information from the samples. Suddenly, he received a video call from Maria.

"Maria? Is there anything you need from me?" Chris answered the video call.

"Chris-chan, emergency situation! It's Uncle Dominic!" said Maria, rather anxious.

"Uh... I'll just ignore this 'Uncle' thing, what's wrong with Dominic?" Chris asked, rather casual.

"It's..." Maria doesn't know how to explain the situation so he switched the video view to Dominic who is lying on the bed, unconscious and a bit pale.

Chris frowned as he saw that condition of Dominic.

"Tsk... So it's much worse than what I expected." said Chris, a bit worried.

"What? Chris chan, what do you mean by that?" Maria asked.

"Well..." And so Chris told Maria about what he found out about Dominic the day before.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to Chris, Dominic's body is deteriorating after that attack from the dragons hundreds of years ago. He had been using a type of medicine that is recommended by Dan to stabilize and control his body's condition, however, the medicine provided by Dan doesn't actually improve Dominic's health condition, it only gives a fake 'illusion' that Dominic's body is getting better after consuming it, in fact, due to a tiny amount of special ingredient used in the medicine that is harmful to angels, it is slowly destroying Dominic's body from inside.

And now with Dan getting caught and taken away by the Kingdom, without the effect of the medicine, Dominic's health started to show problems again, and the effect of the harmful substance shows up along with that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I wasn't aware of that until I found some weird yet familiar scents from a cup he used every day, since it's been used for that medicine for such a long time every single day, that scent will remain on the cup despite of been cleaned." said Chris.

"You mean his former assistant tried to poison him?" Maria asked, rather shocked.

"I believe so, it's a really slow and unnoticeable poison though." said Chris.

"What should we do about that? Do you know any cure for that poison?" Maria asked, rather emotional.

"Tea? Give me a second... You mean the one in the crystal jar?" Maria asked after he found a jar of tea leaves.

"Yes. That's what I'm talking about. You know how to use it right?" said Chris

"Aye! I will prepare it now! I shall call you back later! Bye!" said Maria, rather excited before ended the video call which he calls back again in a few seconds.

"Uh... Anything wrong?" Chris asked.

"Yes, Uncle Dominic is unconscious right now, how should I get him to consume it?" Maria asked.

"Ah... You said you know how to use it. Nevermind. The tea leaves can be used in two methods, the first method is of course as tea to drink, the second method is as incense. Put the crushed tea leaves into a small pot of steaming water, the aroma released will have the same effect as drink on directly... Well... Probably milder." said Chris.

"I see! I shall do it now! See you!" said Maria before ended the call again.

"Having problems on that side?" Ben asked after recorded the results of the final batch of the sample. Chris sighed without saying anything.

"Well, now we had get an overview of all these samples, I guess we should leave the detailed analysis to Jason. We probably should get ready for the trip tomorrow. Do I still needed for this trip?" Ben asked.

"Actually I decided to let Seito and Itsuki to stay here with Jason and the girls." said Chris.

"I see, I'm needed then. We will pack up for everything as soon as they get out of the training hall." said Ben while adjusting his glasses.

Chris nodded.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, they once again ride on the almighty blue dragon that is flying towards their next destination, just that this time, it's only five of them, Seito and Itsuki stayed at the secret base doing some intensive training for the coming tournament, if you still remember their real purpose coming to Kapis Dimension.

After an hour of traveling, the dragon had brought the five of them to a small village hundreds of miles away from the secret base. It is a plain and ordinary village with no obvious sign of any supernatural presence.

"Uh-huh... Why am I not surprised at all?" said Sky.

"I guess Byako does make a mistake after all." said Ben.

"Hmm... No, Byako did not make any mistakes, no matter how did he get this extra piece of information but it is certainly a piece of accurate information." said Chris.

"What do you mean by that? There isn't anything special about this village." said Sky, while Ben glared at Chris, probably expecting him to have a good explanation.

"Exactly, there isn't anything special about this village. That's the point." said Chris, which makes the situation even more confusing.

"Try to think of it carefully, White's village is supposed to be a normal village, right?" said Chris.

"Yes... But what is it have to do with this?... Ah... You mean..." Sky suddenly gets Chris's point.

"It's too ordinary even for a village." said Junior who had been quiet since the beginning.

"Yes, as Junior said. Even for a normal peaceful village like White Village, things can't be so ordinary, still remember about those technologies we saw in White Village? It will be quite normal for Null Dimension but this place is too rural and too far behind to be exist in Kapis Dimension." said Chris.

*Something out of the story

Sky: "Dear readers."

Chris: "Hmm?"

Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."

Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."

Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."

Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.

Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows  two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
