Chapter 31 : Chapter 31I could see some people walking around, mostly drunk people who left the tave

I could see some people walking around, mostly drunk people who left the tavern and headed home . Tavern was very popular actually . It had guest rooms and alcohol and most importantly, it wasn't expensive . It thrived now compared to the past due to Rand's granddaughter . Senty was engaged to that so called young master from the Gra.s.s.h.i.+ll Village and the popularity of the h.o.r.eseplain Village went soaring . They sold more stuff and had more people come and visit . It was supposedly to make friends and good connections before Rand's granddaughter married the guy from Gra.s.s.h.i.+ll Village .

I looked at the behaviour of the drunk people but all I could see was, well drunk people . I noticed that they sometimes fall, sometimes stumble or sometimes shout some profanities and so on . That was ordinary for a drunk . I looked at the way they walk and it was all over the place . There was no rhythm or specific order, no . It was all chaos .

I thought 'I will do it with other people tomorrow . I can train this anytime I want, maybe besides night time' . I went back to my house . I laid down in my bed to read the book Nick gave me before I went to sleep . The book contained very detailed recipes about medicine and poison . If I were to rate the difficulty, it was at least 4 times harder to understand and memorize than the Evil Manual of Medicine .

On the very first page was a detailed description of a poison that could paralyse the whole body for couple of hours . It also depended on how strong physically someone was . I realised that this must've been the poison Nick used when he threw the knives at me at his place couple of months ago . It was very powerful this poison and although I was stronger than normal people back then I was also starved . The poison worked on me for couple of hours so how long would it work on just a random guy .

Another thought entered my mind 'How long would it last against Rand?' I didn't know but I estimated that an hour if I were lucky, nevertheless I a.s.sumed half an hour should be more probable . If that was the case, then the guy who watched me would probably be paralysed for about 2 hours and Senty, Rand's granddaughter should be around the same time .

With this poison, I could do a lot in two hours . This would be useful to my plan later on, when the wedding takes place or rather not take place if I had my way . I looked at the ingredients and the method to produce this poison, it wasn't very hard to produce or the materials were not that rare but the problem was that I was a slave now and I couldn't just leave to gather the herbs . There was only one solution to that, Nick . If I asked him, he may be able to provide me with the herbs . I knew he laughed at me when I wanted to practise making medicine and poison but this is different . I wanted it for something real, not just waste ingredients . It would be even better if he gave me that poison . He already knows how to make it and it would save the ingredients as well as time to get that poison . Maybe he even has some stored somewhere .

With that plan in my mind, I went to sleep . I wouldn't see Nick often now and going to his house could be suspicious, so I had to wait for about a week when he would come over and test me on my knowledge from the medical book .

With that plan in my mind, I went to sleep . I wouldn't see Nick often now and going to his house could be suspicious, so I had to wait for about a week when he would come over and test me on my knowledge from the medical book .

The week went on as usual with the exception of my training in the art of stealth . I had to watch people which I thought was not hard but then I discovered that doing so without anyone noticing was actually very difficult . Besides that, there was a part of watching their every move and judging what would happen next . I had to do so much thinking that my brain power gave up after a while .

Training like this was mentally stressing but after a few days, I was getting used to this type of work out . Not that I had much improvement in actually guessing or predicting what the people will do based on how they behaved and moved .

At the end of the week, Nick came over to test me from the book knowledge . I read only couple of recipes because most of my time was spent on the monitoring part of the art of stealth . I only remembered one recipe to its fullest and that was the poison I wanted from Nick . If he could supply it that would be ideal or at least supply the ingredients for it .

I asked Nick "Can you give me some Axon Poison?" to which Nick was stunned and then asked "Why do you need it?" I thought 'So he has it, good . I just need him to hand me some' . I said "I need it for the coming wedding" . I could see flash of evil in Nick's eyes and the evil grin he did whenever I told him about the wedding . He said "That is good . I will give you some, hehehe" . I said "Thanks, it will save me a lot of trouble" Nick then asked "How is your training going?" to which I said "Not very well, it's very taxing to concentrate on what people do and then try and predict what they are going to do next . There are many possibilities…" Then I realised something . 'Wait! Possibilities! That is what I need!' .

Nick saw that I discovered something and didn't disturb me anymore . I went out to look for people . I wanted to watch them and find out if my idea would work . My idea was simple, I would have to calculate probability of certain actions happening . For example, if a drunk person was walking wobbly then what would happen next based on the information I had . I would a.s.sign more probable events more percent and less probable less percent . This way I would be able to know better but also prepare for other possibilities that were likely .

It was easy in theory but in reality, I couldn't a.s.sign percentage to those actions due to lack of knowledge and skill of judging . I was too excited about the idea that I forgot myself a bit . I wanted to still do it in the future but for now I would have to train my focus first . I was able to focus when working on something or training but there was a caveat and that was, the person I was watching couldn't notice me .

With that in my mind, I spend the rest of my time that day to judge people's behaviours . Time went like this and another 3 weeks pa.s.sed . I was crazy on observing people and sometimes I was so focused that others noticed me looking at them . There were some troubles as I got chased or shouted at . Now I had a stupid nickname going around the village and that was "Dirty Pervert" . The h.e.l.l did I do to deserve that! I only looked at people when they were walking or eating but not in their private s.p.a.ce .

I didn't care that much about it but it was still annoying . I had some major improvements with my predictions . I could now use the idea of percentages to work out roughly what events were more probable than others . I could also judge people better due to the amount of time I watched people . With time you get to see more details and more behaviours . As you proceed on that path it becomes easier to figure out certain things .

Two weeks back, Nick gave me a vial of liquid and said that this was the Axon Poison I wanted . I was elated, thanks to this vial my plan will be more smooth . He also came up with a name for his second book and that was "Great Scriptures Of Evil Medic" . I didn't know wherever I should laugh or cry . He just had to include word Evil in everything he named . I guessed that it was because of his nature .

I managed to memorize about 8 recipes completely from the Great Scriptures of Evil Medic . I still had loads but I figured I will memorize the ones that seemed most useful to me and my situation . My training was going along nicely and I learned more recipes from the Great Scriptures of Evil medic everyday . My strength didn't rise anymore as my body stabilised at a certain point . I was skinny like an skeleton but I had a lot of strength and iIwas healthy at that .

Even Nick didn't know what to do about my weird const.i.tution and he just accepted it as if I was like this from the beginning . I also accepted that I will look like this but it didn't matter to much that much anymore . I didn't have to look good because for who? Like this, I spent my days doing village tasks, training and reading . I could see some people walking around, mostly drunk people who left the tavern and headed home .
