Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Lesson 228: I don't know the flowers, but the Buddha...
"All of you who are here have been chosen and excelled in the Church."
Vieille flips through something like a barrel, standing on top of it and giving a speech. And as it surrounded it, so many believers were gathered together. The soldiers at the guard are also bewildered, and when they see me, they all turn their gazes to me. I sign with my eyes and listen to Vieille.
"I think you all took pride in the technology, knowledge and experience you have acquired so far. That was the same for me. But we, infected with Le Lois, could do nothing. I just waited for a death that I could never visit."
The bragging of the gathered believers subsides, and the square is engulfed in sinister silence.
"I was afraid to die. And I hung up on you not wanting to die. I kept praying desperately. But the Lord God did not respond to anything. It was King Agarta who saved us."
Vieille noticed me, but immediately lost her gaze and continued her words.
"Nothing. I'm not telling you all to pledge allegiance to King Agarta. And on the contrary, I'm not going to tell you to pledge allegiance to Crimeanalism in the future."
The Christians get noisy. But Vieille doesn't mind it, he opens his mouth.
"I interpret this as a difficulty that the Lord God gave us to feel powerless. We couldn't do anything about this. Yes, we've been proud of the best nation in the world so far, but the truth is, we've been powerless. Such a helpless us, but we have so far reached out to those who believe in Crimeanalism and pretended not to see it to those who do not.... I think I was arrogant. What would have happened if King Agarta had done the same thing we did? … all who are here would have died"
Say so. Vieille closes her eyes and raises her face. Then he opens his eyes again and looks around at the faithful.
"But King Agarta has helped us. And we're alive now. I'm sure this is the Lord's guide to save us and the non-believers."
Once again the square is surrounded by silence.
"Having come to Agarta, having suffered from Lulowans, they are by no means a mistake. It made sense. We're alive now. You were allowed to live. There's still got to be something to live for. Weren't we brought to life to save one and many people? Helpless, but still, because it's us, there's got to be something we can do. Bring our wisdom together to save people. Isn't that what the Lord God wanted to tell us"
Saying so much, Vieille breathes, and, with a full grin, opens her mouth.
"So, ladies and gentlemen, to the Patriarchate, let us return to Aphrodite. And let's make true Crimeanalism."
She calls on every believer, let's go home, to make it together. The gathered believers were crying. Nor was he ever called a traitor, but rather seemed deeply sympathetic and relieved by Vieille's words that they were recognized by the Lord God they believed in.
She got off the barrel with Piong and came straight to me.
"King Agarta, we return to Aphrodite. However, I am sorry, may I stay here a little longer until the water volume of the Irvej River has settled?"
I stare at Vieille's face and open my mouth like I gave up.
"Do as you please. Well, I still don't know if Le Lois has fully healed. I'll lend you this place until the river level settles down."
"Thank you. I won't forget this favor."
"In the meantime, do something about the faithful hiding behind the woods"
"I'm in awe. I'll talk to you responsibly."
I turn my gaze and squeal at the old general next door.
"General, for a while..."
"I'll take care of it. I wish. Some flowers are hard to fall off."
"Flowers that don't fall...? Were there flowers and other blooms in this village?
Vieille, who listened to the old general, speaks. Lafayence does his eyes in the distance, nodding and opening his mouth.
"Not to mention flowers. Lady."
A few weeks later, I was in the office, visiting Mae, Roni and Chiwan. There has been progress on the results of Lulovance's analysis.
"Cause is mold..."
I thought it was germ-like, and I'm stuck with unexpected results. Chihuan seems calm to me like that, and I try to bite and include it and start explaining.
"Yes, the people of Crimeana burned forests and made fields for food production. And as a fertilizer, they used duck ash as fertilizer."
"Ashes of ducks?
"Yes, it's a weed that grows on the southern islands, but if you ash this, it becomes fertilizer that helps the crops grow"
"So, what does that fertilizer have to do with mold?
"The humidity in the forest increased abnormally there, and condensation occurred. The mold that grew there caused Le Lois."
"Chiwan, I'm sorry to have to go into a little more detail."
"Yes. Normally, duck ashes don't grow mold or anything like that. But this mold is cultured if it is in an environment of unusual humidity and low temperature. Exactly, it's no exaggeration to say that Agarta's winter and rising humidity in the woods have created this disease"
"Really...... so why does that mold make people die?
"Mold inhaled by the human body inflames the blood vessels. There were purple spots in the infected patient, but that's exactly what it is. And while that inflammation progresses in stages, it gradually spreads to the center of the body and ends up inflaming the lungs. You suddenly have difficulty breathing, so suddenly it's this disease called Le Lois that makes you look dead."
"Right...... Usually there are purple spots around the neck, how come the Crimeana guys, especially Vieille, had spots all over their faces, but what is that supposed to mean?
"Normally, temperature and humidity change. Therefore, the disease progressed slowly, firstly, spots appearing around the neck close to the mouth, but in the case of Agarta, the days continued with stable, low temperatures and high humidity. In this sense, the progression of the disease is considered to have accelerated, but in the case of Vieille, it is special. The appearance of spots all over your face is still under investigation. However, if you let it go like that, your brain probably eroded, so I think it was critical for the timing of your healing"
"Whatever...... Does Vieille mean she was lucky..."
"This Le Lois, but there's something even more troublesome about it. That's in that the forest soil also pollutes."
It was May who opened his mouth.
"Mold grown on the soil is emitting small amounts of poisonous substances, so it will contaminate the soil little by little. You won't be able to make crops in those woods like this."
"What can I do to stop it?
"Raise the temperature, lower the humidity, and the mold dies, so I think that's fine."
"The harassment of the forest spirits should be gone by now, so I don't think I'll worry about the humidity...... Just in case, let's raise the temperature in the junction. Let's keep it at about 30°C..."
The Mays are smiling bitterly at each other. To them, I open my mouth again.
"So, did you get that cure?
"Yes, done"
"Whoa, that's the Mays. Does that mean that Glarina's theory was completely off target?"
"But it's not."
Chiwan is laughing bitterly, his mouth is open.
"What do you mean?
"Glarina's acid solution kills the mold in her body that develops Lulovance."
"Huh? What is it?
"It was her theory that mixing sheep beast man's bile with acid solution...... but as a result of the experiment, mixing sheep beast man's bile will only slightly speed up the mold's death, but as long as you have acid solution, you don't have to have a problem"
"Sure, you didn't say you'd be infected mediating a cat beast man?
"Yes. I experimented with that, too. Cat Beast Man had a resistance to Lulowance, didn't he? You can sterilize the mold in Le Rowance for years. Perhaps the fluids of the cat beast man used by Glarina were mixed with its fungus"
"How many women..."
"Yeah. She doesn't have any awareness of herself, but perhaps, not entirely, but to some extent, she has the talent to derive the shortest distance to get to the right answer. In a way, she is loved by God"
"I won't admit anything like that."
To be clear, it's Loni. Indeed, from her point of view, it would be unacceptable that it was a product of Glarina's coincidence.
"I mean, the one with the best control? Is that it? Speaking of which, I think there was another guy who thought you were in excellent control... I can't remember."
"As a result, the magic of Linos' recovery of LV5 must have inflamed and revived the vessels that were necrotizing. I think the patient was cured for that."
"I see. So, Chihuahuan, what's the cure for that?
"No matter what, all you have to do is inject Glarina's acid solution directly and then administer a medicine to reduce inflammation in your blood vessels. It can be cured if you are in the early stages of infection, and even if you are not developing it, if you inject acid solution, you will not be infected with Lulovance. Pretty troublesome when the disease progresses..."
"I see. So the guy who was infected with Le Lois followed by parents and children from generation to generation? I guess it's because we live together. So I'm finally convinced."
I take my breath out slowly and look away.
"You mean my ruse to harass and get the Crimeana guys to leave in peace had become a grand human experiment for Lulowans... Well, that's why we're going to have the Poseihighs headed for the study of extermination, starting with May, so I can't say thanks to Crimeana in a way..."
"Well, I don't think there's much we can do about this given what the people of the Patriarchate have done so far..."
"Do you think that's what Chiwan thinks?
"Master, we will quickly distribute acid solutions to the people of the junction village. And to those who are still infected... Tell Mr. Vieille about the cause of the onset of Le Rowans?
I smile and slowly shake my head and look at May.
"May, it's the Buddha I don't know"
