Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

669 - - 679Th ユ--



No, no," Soleil muttered in her mind. King Nefa was clearly in lust with her.

But this king had instantly vanished his desires and returned to his calmness. He is able to control his desires. He is a very good king. He has a deep intelligence in his eyes.

When I see such a good man, I unconsciously try to attract his attention. It's a bad habit, she thinks to herself, and she feels the horror of a skill that has been thoroughly instilled in her since she was a child.

Nevertheless, when we compare this king with her husband Linos, he is clearly the better man. She never felt the desire to have her husband at all costs that she had felt when she first met him.

King Nefert explains to May the devastation that has taken place in the city. As she watches, she looks in all directions for any sign of the psyllus.

A poison named Soleil. This is no coincidence. It is obviously the work of someone who hates her. Soleil knew who it was.

All of them were those who competed to be the next chief of the clan. Soleil's mind was filled with the faces of the three Siljus.

One of them was Escalina, a Psyllus who had made a contract with a water spirit. She and Soleil had been good friends since they were young children, always working together.

She was a brilliant woman. She was the first of her generation of Siljus to make a contract with a water spirit. As she grew older, her beauty improved and she became a more attractive woman than Soleil.

However, a man whom Escalina had spotted and attempted to seduce fell in love with Soleil. He was completely captivated by Soleil and chased after her at every opportunity. However, to Soleil, he was a man whom she could not get enough of, and such male behavior was nothing but a nuisance.

When the man realized that he had no connection with Soleil, he was so disappointed that he took his own life. This infuriated Escalina. She believed that Soleil was responsible for the man's death and left the village. Soleil was so depressed at the loss of her best friend that she could not recover for a while.

The other was a Silurian named Elena. She had succeeded in making a contract with the spirit of the forest with whom Vival, the chief, had made a contract before. She was the one who was recognized by the spirit enough to be contracted by the chief, and she was the one who was competing with Soleil for the next chief.

However, after Soleil married Linos and made a contract with the divine dragon, she was removed from the list of candidates for the next chieftain. After that, he became depressed and was away from the village of Silures more and more.

The last thing that crossed his mind was Milwa's face.

Soleil had a strong feeling in her heart that she did not want the two to be the culprits. Especially, Escalina has a contract with a water spirit. Since the spirit was of a very high rank, it was not impossible that Escalina could create such a poison if she wanted to.

Soleil was slowly looking around the city of Kumoha and whistling softly. Any movement of the spirit contracted by Siljus would always leave a sign there. It would not be long before the poison was thrown into this city. With Soleil's ability, it should have been easy to find it.

However, I could not feel any sign of the spirit's movement.

Milwa, after all.

Soleil mutters this in her mind. She feels annoyed, and at the same time, she feels indescribable that she was right after all. She would do anything to get rid of herself. Besides, she has made a contract with Pope, the spirit of air. Manipulation of the air is a problem. She can erase all traces of herself.

Soleil whistles again in a low voice. This time he widens his scope and probes outside the city.

...... For a moment, Soleil stops.

What is it, Princess Soleil?

It was Nefa who called his name. He looked at Soleil, still smiling kindly.

"No," he said. It was my first time to see the city and I was looking around because of its rarity.

"If you like it, we will be more than happy."

I looked over to see May and her friends filling glass bottles with water from the well, and they had just finished.

"Thank you for your patience.

Suddenly, a soldier's loud voice rings out. A soldier was waiting reverently for King Nefa. In his hand was a large rat-like creature.

A big rat, like the ones you see in the forest. The other soldier took a fishing bottle, drew water from the well, and threw the rat into the well.

The rat was rampaging for a while, and then, as if it were screaming, it jumped out of the bottle and ran away like a hare.

"It seems that the water here has already been purified. Queen Meirias is indeed a queen.

King Nefa nodded and turned his attention to May. May steps forward to the king and opens her mouth in a firm voice.

"I would like to return to Agartha immediately to analyze the water we have collected. Supposedly, this well has water gushing out of the ground at all times, and from there, water flows to various places through the underground water supply. Therefore, the possibility of toxic substances being retained in this well is small. Based on this prediction, we have sampled the water at the bottom of the well, and we believe that the possibility of detecting toxic substances in this well is low. Therefore ......"

"The bodies of the dead will be needed," huh?

"...... Yes."

"To have the bodies of my country's dearest subjects mutilated is the same as having my body mutilated. ....... But what can we do if we cannot help our backs? ......

King Nefa looks at the soldiers standing by his side. The soldier stood up, bowed reverently, and left.

"I will offer you the body of one of our soldiers.

"...... Thank you very much."

May bowed deeply to King Nayefa. Behind her, Chi-wan lies face down with his eyes closed. He seems to be telegraphing to his companions, telling them that he will perform an autopsy as soon as he returns.

After a while, four mummy-like creatures wrapped in cloth are brought in. They appeared to be the bodies of soldiers who had died after taking poison. Mei and the others bow their eyes at the bodies, and Soleil follows suit.

"Now then, we will return to Agartha and investigate. I will report back to you as soon as I find out anything.

"Thank you very much. I will be counting on you."

King Nefa shook Mei's hand forcefully. She looked a little puzzled, but her expression quickly returned to normal and she nodded vigorously with a smile on her face.

"Shall we go back then?

Mei calls out to Zhuang and the others. He nodded slowly. Terashi hurries to his side.

"I envy you your skill to move in an instant. With Posehai on our side, Agartha's position will never be shaken."

King Nefa mutters to no one in particular. May did not respond to his voice. At that moment, Soleil spoke up.

"I'm sorry. Please wait a moment.

She turned quickly in the direction of the north and raised her voice in an inaudible whisper, as if she were singing.

"Thank you for waiting."

With a charming smile on her face, Soleil runs towards Mei.

"Now, if you'll excuse me."

Everyone, including May, bowed to King Nefa. At that moment, they disappeared like smoke. .......
