Wizard Earl

Chapter 249 Truth-Dispelling Medicine

Margaret took out her purse, pulled out a ten-pound note, and handed it to the nurse beside her, saying with a smile, "In that case, could you please help me with the formalities? I need Dr. Ceballos to examine my stomach ailment. The rest of the money is your tip!"

Margaret could clearly see the longing in the nurse's eyes for the ten-pound note in her hand. However, to her surprise, after respectfully taking the note and holding it at the counter, the nurse very politely took out six pounds and handed it back to Margaret: "Hello, miss, our hospital has regulations that staff cannot accept tips from patients. According to our hospital regulations, the registration fee is one pound, but because it's evening, we'll add three pounds for a service fee, making it four pounds. Here's your change of six pounds. Please keep it!"

Margaret glanced at the nurse, then at the change she handed over, nodded slightly, took the six gold pounds, and put them into her wallet without saying anything more.

"Please come this way!" After Margaret received her six gold pounds in change, the dedicated nurse led her to a room on the first floor of the hospital building with a sign that read "Dr. Ceballos".

Glancing at the name "Ceballos" hanging above the studio, Margaret's intuition told her that she would gain something from this man. Pushing open the door, before Margaret even saw Dr. Ceballos, she heard a young man's gentle voice.

"Miss, for your privacy, please close the door!"

Upon hearing the gentle voice, Margaret paused for a moment, then casually closed the door and entered the room. The room was very tidy and clean, and behind the desk, a handsome man with long hair was smiling at Margaret.

"Hello, miss, I'm the doctor here, Ceballos. May I ask your name?" Ceballos smiled and gestured for Margaret to sit on the sofa opposite his desk, then said gently:

Margaret, her gaze lingering beneath the human skin mask on the sofa, carefully scrutinized the long-haired, handsome man before her, who called himself "Dr. Ceballos," and then leisurely said, "You may call me Miss Jessica!"

"Okay, Miss Jessica, before inquiring about your condition, I assure you with my medical license that I will never disclose your medical condition to anyone without your permission! Our hospital's patients are mostly people of high social standing, and our hospital fully understands your concerns!" Ceballos had no idea that this beautiful, somewhat sickly woman in front of him was actually a ruthless person. Seeing Margaret's hesitant attitude, he automatically assumed that Margaret was worried about telling the doctor about her condition, and very proactively made a promise to Margaret.

Hearing Ceballos's promise, Margaret felt a surge of amusement, but to deceive the doctor, she feigned relief and distress, saying, "I trust your expertise, Dr. Ceballos. I have a stomachache but can't find the cause. This is the treatment plan and medication list my previous doctor prescribed. Could you please take a look?"

After saying that, Margaret unfolded the list she had just given to the nurse and handed it to Ceballos. Ceballos, without any suspicion, never imagined that someone would harm him here, and picked up the list without any precautions.

The moment his fingers touched the list, Margaret, sitting on the sofa opposite him, revealed a strange smile. Then, with a flick of her slender fingers, countless white powders appeared on the list, and in an instant, these white powders quickly entered Ceballos's nostrils as he picked up the list.

Even with his slow reaction, Ceballos sensed the danger and immediately tried to expel the white powder from his body. But it was too late. Margaret delivered a powerful chop to his neck, and all Ceballos could do was collapse to the ground like a dead dog…

Looking at Ceballos lying limply on the ground, Margaret's eyes showed a look of disbelief. Ceballos had just accidentally fallen for her trick and inhaled the white powder through his nose. The energy fluctuations he displayed when he tried to expel the white powder with a spell made Margaret realize that this seemingly ordinary Ceballos was actually a mid-level wizard apprentice just like her!

Margaret found it hard to believe that a mid-level wizard apprentice had been captured so easily. Although Ceballos was already lying on the ground, unconscious and in a coma, the fact still made Margaret feel somewhat unreal.

Taking a deep breath, Margaret suppressed her joy and cast a spell on Ceballos. The white powder she had just induced him to inhale was no ordinary powder, but something called Truth Potion. This Truth Potion was colorless and odorless, making it difficult to detect. It was called Truth Potion because, besides inducing unconsciousness, it also had a mind-numbing effect. Combined with a unique spell, it could make the inhaler, while unconscious, reveal everything the interrogator asked…

"Your name?" Seeing the truth serum gradually taking effect, and Ceballos entering the state she desired, Margaret pressed him coldly.

"My name is... Ceballos Aveiro..." Under the influence of the truth serum, the unconscious Ceballos answered Margaret's question without any resistance.

"You are..." Just as Margaret was about to ask her second question, her mental energy suddenly sensed a light footstep approaching.

With a soft click, Ceballos's door opened silently, and a figure wearing a bronze mask entered the room, holding a short sword that shimmered with a ghostly blue light.
