678 - - It'S 678Th Episode. It'S Late Night.
In the middle of the night, Linos slowly wakes up. He moves only his eyes to check his surroundings.
The bedroom is quiet and still. He exhales slowly, knowing that there is still time before dawn.
He feels a tugging sensation at the back of his throat. Intuitively, he senses that the people who have caused all the poison disturbances are close at hand.
He activates his detection skill. He expands the range of his detection at once, and finds that there are people with a strong intent to kill in unexpected places. It turns out to be near the capital.
It takes only 30 minutes to get to the capital from Rinos' mansion by using Ilimo's wings. However, if he used his warding skill, he could move in an instant.
It is not unusual for someone to have a strong desire to kill. But for some reason, Linos was curious about the presence of such a maniac in the vicinity of the capital late at night. The person was moving slowly toward the capital.
"......"
A small voice was heard. Sidi, who had been sleeping next to me, slowly wakes up.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I must have woken you up."
Sidi does not react to Linos' words, but just keeps staring in the wrong direction.
"Sidie?"
Linos also slowly wakes up. She takes a deep breath and murmurs in a small voice with her eyes closed.
"...... I feel an evil presence."
"And Sidie?"
Sidi still does not respond to Linos' question. He turns his head down and looks as if he is thinking about something.
"Cidie?"
"...... but don't you have a bad feeling about it, even though you feel an evil presence? What do you mean?"
"......"
Linos remains silent, watching her closely. Siddee pretended to think for a while and then, with her eyes closed, muttered something to no one in particular.
"Well, okay..."
With that she hugged Linos next to her and pushed him down.
"Shh, Sidi ......."
"I'm going to bed."
"No, I don't have any evil ......"
"I don't have a bad feeling about this, so I decided it's not a problem. Good night. ......"
"What?
Despite Linos' confusion, Siddee puts her face in Linos' left hand and pulls the blanket over it. At that moment, the bedroom door slowly opened. Standing there was Soleil.
"Soleil ......"
"Sorry to disturb your rest, Mr. Linos."
"What's wrong?"
At Linos' question, Soleil closed the door with a slight smile on her face and walked up to the bed. Perhaps because she was sleeping with Alyria and her children, she was wearing rough but firm clothes instead of the usual see-through pajamas. Even so, the lines of her body were visible and the s*xiness emanating from her body was not at all concealed. Suddenly, Sadie slowly raised her body again. Linos also sat up.
"I'm sorry, Siddee. I'm just tired."
Despite the late night, Soleil's face was beautiful. I thought she was wearing make-up, but when I asked her later, she laughed and said she had never done so.
"No, no. I'm fine. I'm not tired."
Sadie answered, but her voice was still toneless. She still sounds sleepy. Soleil smiled at her, lowered her voice a little, and murmured in a small voice.
"You must be very tired after having f*cked me so many times. I understand. But it's a nice tiredness, isn't it? I'm really sorry I woke you up in the middle of all this."
"Hey, how many times have you ...... done that, ......?"
In the dim light, Linos could see Sadie's face turning red. Soleil knew that Sadie was not the type of person who likes to be violent, but the playfulness of saying such a thing and trying to see Sadie's reaction made Rinos' heart soften. He took Sadie's prone shoulder with his left hand and pulled her body close to his. He patted her head with his right hand. Sadie's body becomes tense. She seems to be embarrassed.
"So, what's the matter, Soleil?"
Soleil sat down beside the bed, showing no sign of agitation, despite the fact that another woman was being hugged in front of her.
"Milwa seems to be getting close."
"Milwa ....... By any chance, that poison?"
Soleil nodded slowly at Linos' words.
"The spirit of the air...... and I felt a very high level species nearby. Only a few Psyllus can make a contract with such a spirit. ....... It must be Miruwa."
"I see. Sidney and I both felt the presence of someone with a strong killing intent right now. So you think it's Milwa?
"No. I don't think so. I don't think someone as big as Milwa would let his killing intent be sensed so easily. Since she has made a contract with the spirit of the air, she must be able to hide such feelings with the power of the spirit. Perhaps it is the deadly spirit of those who follow her.
"Followers? Does that mean there is more than one culprit in this case?"
Yes. I don't think Mirwa herself is capable of producing such a poison. He must have someone who can make such poisons and have him do it.
"I see. ....... How many people are there?"
Probably one. Two at the most."
"Well. That's a definite statement.
"Due to Mirwa's nature, I don't think he travels with a large group of people. She will probably have one or two servants. With her character, I think it would be most appropriate for her to have only one follower.
"I see. It's true that I felt a single killer. So there is only one follower. Then why is this follower giving off a killing vibe? Is he going to take action now?"
"No. That does not seem to be the case either. If they are really going to take action, Mirwa will use the spirit of the air to eliminate the deadly atmosphere. Perhaps he does not intend to take action in the capital.
"I see. ....... But you're being careless. You can't just take someone who is trying to kill you and leave them with you. ....... What the hell are you giving off the vibe for? Are you in the middle of a fight?"
"Perhaps he's trying to kill Mirwa. I think he has been treated as a servant for so long that his followers are reaching their limits.
"The fracturing of the community is about to begin."
"It is possible, but probably not likely, that Mirwa will win. Milwa herself knows this, and she is probably keeping her deadly spirit intact. She herself must be on her guard, since it is far from Agartha."
"Well, I don't think you'll find our mansion in the imperial capital."
They chuckle at each other.
"So, I have two requests for you, Mr. Linos.
"A favor? What is it?"
Yes. I beg your pardon, but I need you to keep an eye on Mirwa and her followers with me.
"Oh. If that's the case, you're welcome. I was just about to do the same.
"Thank you very much. I have one more request. I would like to ask your permission to return to the village of Silures for a while.
"To the village."
Yes. The power of the divine dragon with whom we have a contract is a very powerful spirit, in both good and bad ways. He hides his existence for now, but Mirwa may sense his presence once he enters the capital. In order to avoid that, I think I will stay in the village of Siljus for a while.
"Okay, okay. Okay, fine. And, you know, you can also check out Saytham's ......."
At Linos' words, Soleil slowly turned her head down and muttered in a small voice.
"I'm really, really sorry. ......"
