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.
