Chapter 118
“Grrr…”
“Krrr!”
The infected, with their arms and legs restrained, thrashed wildly as soon as they smelled Hies.
Having been starved for a long time, they must have become extremely ferocious.
“Did you come, Chief Priest?”
“Is there any progress in the experiments?”
“I’m sorry, but… not really.”
The underground priests bowed their heads, feeling apologetic.
Normally, he would have been angry, but now… well, it didn’t matter much.
There was a reason why Hies had initially smuggled the infected and locked them in the basement.
To experiment on turning the infected back into humans.
‘It was to save this south. The savior should have been me. It was a place prepared for me by the sun god.’
However, Siren Wilkeron appeared out of nowhere and stole what should have rightfully been hers.
‘If I had known things would turn out like this, I wouldn’t have delivered the oracle. I… I did it with good intentions.’
It’s unfair.
The resentment was unbearable.
“It can’t be helped. Since each infected may be slightly different, we’ll have to dispose of these children.”
“Ah… I understand.”
“You don’t need to do the disposal. I’ll ask the Kalik clan to do it.”
When Hies smiled brightly, the underground priests finally looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
They’re all weaklings, so they must be afraid of killing the infected themselves.
They’re only capable of experimenting by tearing and cutting up infected who are chained and unable to move.
“But even that they couldn’t do properly, so they’re useless. I’ll have to make these guys infected too and release them. That way, no one will know the source of these infected. So, when should we do it?”
If possible, I want to cause trouble when Siren Wilkeron is at her happiest.
Wouldn’t the fall hurt more when she’s shining like a star in the sky?
The higher the place, the more terrifying and flesh-tearing the sensation of falling will be.
No, it has to be that way.
‘Even if I get caught and die, it doesn’t matter. My king is acting just like those… stupid and pathetic other male bastards, rolling around anywhere, spreading his seed, and smelling of a male. I can’t forgive it.’
It was Siren Wilkeron who made him that way.
The king became strange after meeting her.
‘Wait, come to think of it, there was that day. Soon…’
The rain ritual is already out of the question, and it doesn’t look like they’ll hold a ritual for Aquafuran, so the next important event is the black market.
Given the complex maze-like nature of the black market, it’s an environment where infected could appear.
‘If I’m lucky, I might not get caught.’
If luck is just a little on my side…
Moreover, the black market is held in the village between the beach where the ritual is held and the royal palace.
Once a quarter, people bring their goods and barter. Since currency isn’t used in the south anyway.
‘If there are many people, the confusion will be greater, and the greater the confusion, the greater the hatred and antipathy towards the queen when she’s framed. Then they’ll have no choice but to offer her as a live sacrifice.’
There’s still a month until the black market opens.
In the meantime, I plan to stay still as if dead and make the surveillance on her weaker.
After returning to the royal palace, it began to rain.
Siren’s status rose instantly.
Now, wherever she goes in the royal palace, she receives gazes of fear and awe.
Having proven her abilities, it can’t be helped.
The slight problem is that even the maids from Wilkeron have become afraid of her.
Larissa and Ananta were somewhat better, but in Larissa’s case, it was because of her curious nature, and Ananta didn’t seem scared because she had been told what the magic was in advance.
“So, you brought all that rain with Raksha?”
“Yes. I’d like you to help me and bring rain together.”
“I’ll try my best.”
Siren, who came out to the backyard, gave Ananta a direct demonstration.
She created a very small rain cloud and sprinkled rain over an area where one person could stand.
Ananta’s eyes widened when she saw it directly.
“Chris will teach you more. I have a promise with Yasamin.”
“Ah! You’re going on a date?”
