Aubidse, the capital of the Kingdom of Hradime. In a mansion built in a corner of the castle of Alysun, the Great High King Libourne was looking up to the sky with his eyes closed.
It is rare to see such an expression on the face of the Great High King, who usually intimidates the people around him with his sharp eyes. Fortunately, there is no one else in the room but him. However, outside the room, his retainers were waiting with tense expressions on their faces. It was no wonder that the Great Sage King had not left his room for a whole day.
He has not eaten, drank water, or gone to the toilet, and has remained in his room. It was very unusual for him to be in such a state, as he was usually busy moving around and often yelling at his retainers. It was already late at night. His retainers were beyond worried and even felt a sense of foreboding.
Naturally, his retainers checked on him from time to time. However, he would only reply in an understanding or uncertain manner, and if they tried to say something else, he would turn his sharp eyes on them and intimidate them. If he tried to say something, they would turn their sharp eyes on him and intimidate him.
In his room, the Great Sage King was reading through his letters. The way he stared at the thick letter with wrinkles between his eyebrows made me feel even angry.
The sender of the letter was Linos, King of Agartha. When his retainers first saw the thick letter, they had a bad feeling about it, and it turned out to be right. They had no choice but to wait with bated breath to see what was written in the letter.
The Great Sage King slowly opened his eyes. He reached for the letter again and began to flip through it. When he reached a certain point, he stopped and looked at the letter. He repeats this several times, looking up to the heavens again and letting out a deep breath.
His heart was full. For the first time in his life, he felt satisfied.
The king was looking over the report that Mei had submitted to Linos. It contained the results of the experiment to exterminate the Friendship Flower, and a discussion of the results. The contents of the report were very clear, and the occasional illustrations further enriched the contents of the report.
It was brilliant. There was absolutely no room for questions or objections. With such a large amount of evidence, I had no choice but to be convinced.
In addition, the report even described a technique that the king did not know. He was amazed that the Ferry Rat had found the best way to get rid of the friendly flowers, and at the same time, the technique to neutralize the oxidized soil and water had piqued the king's intellectual curiosity. He even described how to clean up dirty water to some extent, which was an eye-opener for him since he had struggled a lot with the problem of dirty water in his youth.
The method May developed is to feed air into the dirty water and leave it for a while, and the dirty substance will precipitate out. The impurities were then removed from the supernatant water to make it reusable. Although Ohkami knew that if a liquid is left to stand for a while, its components will separate and precipitate out, he was surprised and felt a certain frustration at the fact that they had taken it a step further and established a method to regenerate the water itself.
The report, which runs to about 1,000 pages, is written word for word in meticulous characters. The font has changed from time to time, probably due to a change in the writer. The non-Meirias wrote this in excellent handwriting. The style of the letters was free from any malice or ill will, and exudes a great confidence.
"Ummm ......"
The Great High King involuntarily groaned. I want to write a report like this, a paper like this. Such an intense desire welled up in his heart.
"Mmhmm!"
He stood up and opened the door to his room with a mighty thud.
"Whoa!"
His retainers are shivering. But the great king paid them no heed and strode swiftly down the corridor.
"Ah, um, where are you going? The Great High King, the Great High King!
He continues on his way, completely ignoring his retainers who are chasing after him from behind.
The king is the king of the world.
"...... this is a rarity."
The Great High King was headed for the apartment of his son, King Maintia. He was dressed in rough clothes like a gown and seemed to be drinking something warm. In his hand was a small cup-like brown vessel, from which steam was rising.
The sight frightened the king a little. It was completely different from what he had heard.
It was reported to the King that his son, King Maintia, had several women by his side night and day, and spent most of his time naked. The Great High King, who disliked such things to the extreme, had never visited his son's apartment before. However, he saw his son sitting in front of him, a gentlemanly-looking man with well-groomed hair and a beard, dressed neatly, albeit in loungewear. The gap between the two was so great that even the king, who was known for his boldness, was taken aback.
King Maintia looked at his father with a nonchalant expression. He puts the container in his hand close to his mouth and drinks something with a sizzling sound. It is a common practice to eat without making a sound. The king frowned at his bad manners.
"......How ill-mannered, don't you think? But this is the manner that King Agartha taught me."
The unexpected mention of his name brought a look of shock to the face of the great king. Perhaps amused by his father's appearance, he smiled and continued to speak.
"I was also surprised when I first saw it. ....... When I take a sip of the tea with the air like this, the sweetness and fragrance are indescribable in my mouth. Would you like some, father?"
You know that you are not the one to answer the call. Thinking that his son was an inedible man who knew this and said such a thing, the Great Sage King opened his mouth.
"Is there no one by your side ...... at this late hour of the night?
"I finished it once."
"Finished? What's over?
"The first round."
The Main Tier king smiles. The face of the Great High King became hard, and his expression changed to a terrible, almost unworldly look.
"...... You will take me with you."
"Take me there? Where?"
Agartha.
What do you want?
It's none of your business. You will not understand what I'm about to tell you.
"With all due respect, father, it takes time to get to Agartha. Ships and carriages are available at ......."
You can transfer!
The Great High King's loud voice rang out. King Maintia frowned, and his followers around him stood erect and immobile.
"I don't know how you do it, but I know that you use transference to travel to Agartha and back. Use it to transfer me to Agartha.
It is late tonight. I will talk to you tomorrow. ......
Now!
"Father ....... It's late. Even if we went to Agartha now, ......"
"Then when?"
"So tomorrow we will talk again."
"...... tomorrow, huh? Then, six o'clock."
What?
"We leave at 6:00. Be ready by then.
Father?
"Leithleithe! Is Leithleit not here?
"Ha, here ......"
Suddenly, the door opened and an elderly man entered. He rushed to the Great High King's side with frightening speed and stood in front of him in a brilliant gesture.
"Leithrate, you are to stand at the front of this room and watch the king's movements.
"Ha ......"
"I will come to this room in the morning, and you will not leave this room."
"......"
"Just in time. I'll look over that report one more time until it's time. Yes, sir. I'll summarize what you need to know. Hmph.
With a devilish grin, the Great High King nodded his head. He turned on his heel and left the room with a great stride. King Maintia watched him with a stunned look on his face.
