“Today is a good day,” North Wind said to herself after getting up in the morning. “It’s time to kill Wood!”
It should be finished soon. After all, Wood had betrayed them. He thought that she did not know of his betrayal, so he pretended to be loyal to the Mifata Federation.
He made her feel sick every day!
She had been in Pyroxene Town for almost a year. Looking at the situation, she was accepted by everyone.
It was time to kill Wood.
She smiled, looking exactly the same as usual.
Breakfast was prepared by Wood. Every morning, he prepared the breakfast in advance so as North Wind could have a sound sleep. He really loved and cared for North Wind.
Lunch was the same, but dinner was different.
He was going to work in the woodcarving workshop in the afternoon, so there was no way for him to make dinner.
She was responsible for preparing dinner, and dinner was the best chance to kill Wood.
If North Wind wanted to kill him at breakfast or lunch, Wood might be saved. In the past, Felix, the highest governor of the Republic of Northwest, had treated him with a precious panacea.
If North Wind poisoned him at dinner, Wood would die silently at home. Nobody would know.
In this world, there was a resurgence spell. When a person died, as long as the resurgence spell was performed in time, he could be resurrected. In order to assassinate a person, it was necessary to make a person unable to be resurrected. The most common way was to use a weapon with devil power. And if conditions permitted, it was better to have a Blaspheme Ceremony. The general idea of every method was similar—to send the soul directly to the abyss.
Once the soul fell into the abyss, any resurgence spell would be useless, and even gods would be helpless.
North Wind would poison Wood at dinner. The poison had been specially designed for Wood. It was sure to not be noticed by Wood while he ate. The poison was very special. First, it would run throughout the whole body, but it would not kill Wood immediately. Only when North Wind used a special magic scroll, would the poison kill Wood immediately. In testing, even a legendary demon beast, which was extremely powerful, could only hold on for two or three seconds before dying. No matter how strong Wood was, he would die.
Actually, even two or three seconds would be enough for Wood to kill North Wind.
It was very likely that the action to kill Wood would result in them dying together.
North Wind was not afraid of death. Although it was a pity to die like this, it would be worth it.
Wood was already a poisonous thorn rooted in the hearts of federal intelligence officers. To pull out this poisonous thorn—whatever the price, it was worth it!
On that day, she taught her students as usual and continued to follow what she had said yesterday. Everything was peaceful.
In the afternoon after class, when preparing dinner, she changed an ingredient of the Tomato Fish Soup.
Tomato Fish Soup was a special dish of the Mifata Federation; it was spicy. Only people from the Mifata Federation liked it, and people from other countries didn’t like it.
There was an explorer on the earth who was known for “standing at the top of the food chain.” He often ate some very disgusting and horrible food, including all kinds of insects. Even so, he had fallen when he ate a specialty of a nomadic ethnic group in Africa. It was goat testes and camel fat. These were of great value in the eyes of the local people. Only a good friend of high status was worth having this food, but he really couldn’t eat it.
Tomato Fish Soup was certainly not that disgusting, but it tasted bad. With pepper and fennel, it tasted disgusting and horrible. It was said that when a visitor went to Mifata Federation, if he could finish a bowl of Tomato Fish Soup in one gulp, he would only have to pay half of the price or it might even be free.
That was a nice idea because it was impossible for anyone to do that, even the locals.
North Wind and Wood couldn’t do that either, though they all liked this dish.
North Wind usually cooked this dish. She said, “I have been living in the south these years, so I like it very much.” In fact, this was just a cover.
This dish contained one ingredient that smelt and tasted exactly the same as the poison. For this assassination, North Wind spent almost a year to prepare.
This dish was ready, and it didn’t take much time to make the other dishes. North Wind, as usual, prepared everything and began to clean up the house.
In the evening, Wood shouted, “I’m hungry,” as soon as he got home.
It was his usual practice. Although he was actually not hungry at all, he just liked saying it. He just missed North Wind.
As usual, all the dishes were shared, even the Tomato Fish Soup.
She had the antidote, so she didn’t worry.
After dinner, Wood, as usual, did exercise outdoors. When she cleaned the table and kitchen, North Wind took the antidote.
There was only one antidote. Even if Wood killed her, there wouldn’t be another.
After sunset, Wood finished his exercise and returned home. He took a bath, talked with North Wind for a while, and then got ready for bed.
In the bathroom, Wood muttered that his back was itching and asked North Wind to scratch it. However, when North Wind came into the bathroom, she was immediately held up by him.
“Ha ha! I caught you!” Wood said with a smile.
