Marshall's thought did not escape the intense scrutiny of Darryl's eyes.
'F*ck! Marshall still wants to pour me wine?'
Darryl muttered in his heart and smiled slightly. He said, " I actually discovered the beast language by accident. Since I was a child, I could communicate with beasts—" Of course, he could not tell anyone about him controlling the beasts using the beast taming loop.
Darryl thought that he would play along with Marshall since the man was acting up.
While talking nonsense, Darryl picked up the hip flask and smiled at Marshall. "Mister Marshall, you're the garrison's Commander-in-chief. How could you pour wine for me? I can't accept it."
"You are responsible for guarding the safety of the entire capital city, and you ought to be given the due credit. You're my role model, and I should be learning from you."
Darryl poured Marshall a glass of wine.
While pouring the glass of wine, Darryl used his Secret Shadow technique to throw something into the wine glass quietly. It was something transparent. After it was thrown into the wine glass, it immediately dissolved into the liquid; it was really strange.
It was the brain-eating worm that Darryl had stored away the night before that.
Darryl had decided to let Marshall have a taste of his own medicine since he was set to make a fool of Darryl. He thought that Marshall ought to have a taste of the brain-eating worm.
Besides that, when Darryl studied the brain-eating worm, he also added something extra to the worm based on his outstanding alchemy experience.
Marshall laughed after hearing Darryl's compliment for himself. "Mister Darren, you are so polite and nice."
Marshall raised his glass and emptied the content.
Marshall thought that Darryl had admitted defeat, and he was thinking of reconciling the relationship with Darryl. When he remembered that Darryl had already taken the brain-eating worm and it was irreversible, he could only lament Darryl's bad luck.
Marshall did not know that he had just taken the brain-eating worm.
The Queen saw what was happening between Marshall and Darryl, and she sat there, frowning.
'What's the matter with Darryl? I asked him to help deal with Marshall last night, but he seems to have a good relationship with Marshall now. They look like they are happy with each other.'
Darryl sensed the Queen's gaze at himself from time to time, and he quietly gave her a comforting look.
