Chapter 99:
Queen of the Potion
In the evening, after sending people back and forth, the prison finally gathered all the materials requested by lusine.
lusine started directing the scene, "I will prepare the dicine now. Get ready, everyone. Her clothes are not suitable, so it's best to remove them... Otherwise, she'll have to change into a dress." When she transforms into a monster, her legs will stick together, forming a snake tail, and there should be no covering between her legs, so any restraints must be removed... Oh, and her underwear must be taken off too."
"Well then, it seems we should step aside for now," Aiden said, standing up from his chair and gesturing for the other male prison guards and riot squad mbers to leave. "Franda, you take a look at the scene."
"Understood."
As Aiden was about to leave, lusine reminded him from behind, "Warden, it would be best to have so capable people co and assess the situation. This person is not safe."
"Hmm? How will this operation go?" Aiden turned around.
"A person who transforms into a demonic beast will becos extrely violent. Given her current ntal state, I'm afraid she won't have the willpower to resist the wild instinct. If sothing unexpected happens later, I won't be able to bear the consequences," explained lusine.
"That's the situation." Aiden turned to look at Franda and asked, "Is Veronica here?"
Veronica had beco the combat leader among the prison guards. She mainly worked the night shift. Under normal circumstances, she should have already started her shift at this ti.
"Veronica is on the day shift today, so she has already gone ho. Today is..." Franda answered expressionlessly.
"Ah, it's a full moon!" Aiden suddenly rembered.
When a werewolf sees a full moon, their wild nature surges rapidly, making it easy for them to lose control. Therefore, regardless of the country, strict regulations require registered werewolves to abide by the prohibition on the night of every full moon.
Today happens to be a full moon, and these past two days, Veronica only works the day shift.
"Then let's go find soone else," Aiden thought for a mont. "Please inform
once you're done preparing."
After more than ten minutes, the infirmary was finally prepared.
"We're ready, you can co in now," lusine called out to the door.
Aiden opened the door and walked in, followed by the witch Dailey, who was brought from the core area.
Appearing before them was Priscilla, wearing a simple cotton skirt, forced to lie on the operating table like a fish on a chopping board.
The reason for saying she was forced was because her body and legs were tightly bound to the operating table with iron ropes and straps.
"What... What are you going to do!?" Priscilla looked anxious, as if she wanted to break free.
But now she was weak and unable to struggle vigorously. Even twisting her body was difficult. These restraints couldn't be broken with re physical strength.
"Priscilla!?" Dailey, who entered the infirmary, was more startled, showing a much stronger reaction than lusine.
Priscilla turned her head and glanced at her, with confused expression.
"Don't you recognize ?" Dailey was sowhat surprised.
"You... You seem familiar... Who are you again?"
Priscilla weakly responded, seemingly having a faint sense of dj vu when it ca to Dailey, but still unable to rember who she was.
"She has amnesia," Aiden explained to her on the side, "total amnesia, the kind where she couldn't even rember her own na at first. Do you know her?"
"you could say... we have so acquaintance," Dailey quickly regained her composure. "How did she end up like this?"
"It is said that she accidentally consud by a Magic-Eating Bullet from a inquisitor while casting a spell, causing a magic backlash that wiped out her mories," Aiden briefly explained. "She currently seems to have swallowed sothing she can't expel, and lusine plans to temporarily transform her into a demonic beast using dicine so that she can regurgitate it herself. Your task is to suppress her when she becos aggressive. Understand?"
"Demonic beast transformation..." Dailey shifted her gaze towards lusine, who was preparing the potion beside them. "Could it be... 'Lamia's Beastification Elixir'?"
Upon hearing that na, Aiden subconsciously searched his mory for any information about Lamia.
Lamia, the witch known as the "Queen of Potions," had very limited information available from the Inquisition. This witch's na had been quite active over a hundred years ago, and many of her legends were still used as inspiration by contemporary writers.
However, there were still many claims of miraculous potions attributed to Lamia circulating in black markets or underground auction houses. Of course, few believed that the creator of these potions was the Lamia from over a hundred years ago. Most people leaned towards the belief that the current "Lamia," who was still active, had either stolen the na or inherited the title of the Queen of Potions.
"You seem knowledgeable," lusine smiled knowingly.
"Her beastification elixir has barely made its way outside," Dailey pursued further. "Did you figure out the recipe on your own?"
"Oh no, 'she' personally taught it to ," lusine chuckled. "Although it's an incomplete version, this elixir is an authentic formula from Lamia's own hands."
"You're Lamia's disciple?" Dailey looked sowhat surprised.
Indeed," lusine confird.
"But Lamia never seed to have taken on any disciples..." Dailey scrutinized lusine skeptically.
"You're mistaken. She did take on several students, but none of them succeeded in completing their apprenticeship. I was expelled halfway, while the others either died from her experintal potions or were consud by her," lusine corrected.
"Consud?" Dailey exclaid.
"In terms of imparting knowledge, she was actually a quite exceptional teacher. She would generously share everything with the students she favored. However, her knowledge is extrely dangerous. So people went insane after learning from her, while others lost control after undergoing beastification. To fulfill her responsibility, she 'disposed' of each one of them," lusine explained.
"I see. It's definitely in line with her style," Dailey nodded.
Aiden observed them, realizing that their conversation revealed valuable information. However, it seed they didn't have much ti for idle chatter now.
He cleared his throat and interjected, "Let's begin once you're ready. The patient is just lying here like a piece of dried fish."
"Understood," lusine leaned over and started injecting magical dicine into Priscilla. "Relax, you'll be fine soon."
Soon after the injection, Priscilla began to react.
"Ugh... it hurts... I feel so uncomfortable," Priscilla groaned, her forehead covered in cold sweat.
"Your body is about to undergo a complete transformation, so feeling pain is normal," lusine said in a professional tone. "And it will get even worse later."
"No... don't..."
The sensation of pain seed to intensify, making Priscilla restless. She turned her head towards Dailey and Aiden standing on her left, trying to stretch her left hand, which was restrained by the operating table.
"What are you trying to do?" Aiden stared at her.
"She's hoping soone will hold her hand," lusine explained from the side, looking at Dailey. "After all, she must be feeling quite uncertain right now."
