668 - - Art. 668. You Can'T Hide It Even If You Hide It.
May and her colleagues quickly left the place and returned to Agartha University by using the transfer wards.
Immediately, May ordered Terashi to analyze the samples taken by Serloitte. He scratched his head, said he understood, and returned to his laboratory.
That night, May reported to Linos what had happened.
"That's great, Mr. Serloitte. How did you get it?"
They had just taken the children out of the bathtub and were soaking in the bathtub together. Linos washed his face and took a deep sigh, and looked up at the ceiling.
"I wonder what kind of poison this is?"
"We won't know for sure until we see the results of the analysis, but from what we saw, the water was clear and colorless. I didn't notice any particular smell."
"I see. Odorless. ....... Sounds kind of messy. If we can figure out what it's made of, can we make an antidote ......?"
"I would love to, but ......"
May then turns her head down. Her profile told me intuitively that May had not yet come up with a solution to this poison.
"Well, we can think about it after we officially go to Kumoha tomorrow and conduct an investigation. If we're stuck, maybe we can get Sidi to help us."
At Linos' words, May only muttered a few words of thanks.

The next day, May moved from Agartha University to Kumoha with the members of yesterday's group, plus Chiwan and Soleil from Posehay. They were transferred outside the city, a short distance from the city walls, and then went on foot to Kumoha. As they approached the gate to enter the city, they found two soldiers waiting for them. Upon closer inspection, they were dressed in formal attire.
When they saw Mei, they moved from a front-facing position to facing each other in a pose similar to that of a "tribute tube". Needless to say, they knew that the group coming from the front was the Queen of Agartha and her entourage.
When May and her group arrived at the gate, it was opened with a loud noise. Inside the gate, soldiers in formal dress as well as the gatekeepers were standing in line to welcome them. At that moment, a man approached them at a run. He stopped in front of them, clicked his heels together, and quickly raised his hands in salute.
"Ha! I am very honored that you have traveled so far to meet my king's request. My name is Yong-hoo, and I am in command of the Kumoha Defense Force! I am sorry to be rude, but I am here to show you around!"
After saying this, he turned around and walked slowly. It was a well-trained move. Mei and the others looked at each other and decided to follow the man who called himself Yong-hoo.
He did not speak, but just walked silently. We could see a well just ahead. I thought he was going to lead me there, but he turned right before the well. Just when we wondered where he was taking us, we saw a man sitting on a chair in front of us. Behind him, soldiers in formal dress were also regrouping.
The man on the chair stood up slowly when he saw Mei and the others. Yong-hoo, who had been walking in front of the man, raised his hand in salute and was about to say something, but at that moment, the man quickly raised his hand.
"We have been expecting you, Queen Meirias. I am Lovso Lea Nefa, King of the Kingdom of Lovso.
The man came up to her and stopped in front of her. At that moment, Serloitte, who had been standing behind May, suddenly got down on one knee and put her right hand on her chest in awe. Following her lead, Chihwan and Terashi got down on one knee as well. Soleil stepped back from Mei and bent slightly, keeping her hands on her chest.
"Gentlemen, please don't be so afraid. You are the people my country has invited. Please stand."
At the urging of King Nefa, the three stood up again. When the king saw them, he placed his right hand on his chest and bent down.
"You have come all the way from afar. Thank you.
"No, sir. That kind of thing. ....... I heard that many people have died. King Linos of Agartha was heartbroken to hear of the tragedy. Although I am not a man of talent, I am willing to cooperate with you in any way that I can.
Saying this, Mei put her right hand on her chest and bent her knees, just as King Nefa had done.
"No, we have the Great Sage Meirias here. I feel like I have a million allies. Please, take good care of him."
"No, thank you."
By the way, is this ......?"
King Nefa's soft smile is directed at Soleil. Soleil smiles and slowly opens her mouth.
"I am late. My name is Soleil, and I serve Agartha King Linos.
"...... Soleil."
For a moment, King Nefa's expression hardened. But his expression quickly returned to normal and he bowed to Soleil.
"King Agartha is a bad person. I didn't expect him to send two queens. ......"
"Ho-ho-ho, please don't worry about me."
Soleil smiles bewitchingly as she says this. It was no wonder that King Nefa did not notice. May was wearing the white robe worn by the president of Agartha University, while Soleil was dressed in dark blue, like a nun. At first glance, she looked like May's lady-in-waiting, which made King Neifert not recognize her as the wife of the king of a country. However, even the wise king could not take his eyes off her, for she had a s*xiness that could not be hidden even if she tried.
"......"
There was a strange pause. King Nefa coughed and said, "Well, then," and led everyone to the well.
"There are two wells where poison was thrown: this one and the one just ahead. This well has an abundance of water, and from here water is sent to all the wells in the town through underground channels."
Chi-wan said, "Excuse me," and put his hands together and cast a light spell. He dropped the ball of light slowly into the well.
I see, the water is gushing out of the well. ......The water is very clear. Is that a ...... hole at the bottom? That's where you're distributing the water, isn't it?"
Chi-wan peeks into the well and mutters to no one in particular. King Nefa looks at him with a sideways glance and opens his mouth to say something to Mei.
"By the way, did you understand something?
"What do you mean, 'Okay ......'?"
I'm talking about the water you brought back yesterday. You couldn't find out anything about it overnight, could you?"
May, Soleil, and Serloitte did not raise an eyebrow at the king's words, but kept their composure. Terani, however, shook his body, revealing his agitation. The king glanced at him, but then turned his attention back to May with a soft expression on his face.
"Yes. We are still analyzing the situation, so we don't know anything yet.
"I see."
"...... How did you know?"
Terani mutters in a small voice. King Nefa giggles at the sound of his voice and opens his mouth.
"This city, by my order, has forbidden the use of all wells, evacuated its inhabitants, and closed the city. The only people in the city are soldiers. It is not possible for a normal person to enter the city under such circumstances and to have access to the wells. There is a good chance that the King of Agartha, or even the Great Sage Meirias, would go to the well to conduct a preliminary investigation. That is what I thought.
"What an excellent gentleman ......."
Soleil squints her eyes and mutters to no one in particular. King Nefa's heart beat faster when he saw this expression. .......
