Chapter 90: Forbidden Ingredients
Salem kept sniffing the herbal powder over and over again, but no matter how many times he tried, he still couldn’t catch the scent of any poison inside the leather pouch.
Still, his instincts wouldn’t let him believe the medicine was completely safe.
After nearly ten minutes of careful inspection, Salem finally looked up and met Primrose’s eyes, his expression more serious than before. "I don’t think this poison was made from toxic plants or anything natural."
Primrose’s brows drew together in confusion. "What do you mean? If it didn’t come from nature ... then where did it come from?"
She might not know poisons as well as Salem did, but according to the herbal books she had read, most poisons were made from plants—either naturally toxic ones or a combination of herbs that, when mixed, became harmful to the body.
There were also poisons made from powdered minerals or rare natural elements, though she wasn’t as familiar with those.
Salem took another sniff of the powdered medicine before saying, "Magic," he said flatly. "I’m not completely certain yet, but this poison might have been created through magic."
Primrose looked even more puzzled. Since she hadn’t had any magic energy in her first life, she had never studied anything related to it, not even the basics.
