Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"......!?"

Linos suddenly felt a stirring in his chest. Intuitively, he knew that the enemy had moved. At that moment, he activated his shifting wards. The destination was the warding village.

"Oh, Mr. Linos?"

As soon as he shifted, he was immediately noticed. This man is the one who manages this warding village. But there is no time to chat with him. A deadly poison has been released. The wards we have put up here, especially the well, give off an unsettling atmosphere.

I restrain the man who is talking to me with my right hand and turn my eyes to the well. Already, a man is trying to draw water from the well with a fishing bottle. Just as he was about to shout, "Wait, don't drink that water," two women suddenly appeared by the well.

They were Soleil and Escalina.

At first glance, they appeared to be naked and without a stitch of clothing on. Linos stood there in awe. The people around the well were also stunned by the suddenness of the event. Soleil opened her mouth in a clear voice.

"I'm sorry, but please refrain from drinking water from this well for a while.

When Soleil said this, she gave a friendly smile. Everyone stood there stunned, not understanding what had just happened.

Finally, Linos came to himself. He rushes to Soleil and the others.

"Soleil, why ......?"

"I felt the presence of a spirit. And a very high one at that.

"Oh, yeah. I came here too because I felt something disturbing about the wards. You're early. How long have you been here?

Just now.

"Now?　Where did you come from?　...... from the village of Silures?　Without the use of transference wards?"

Yes. With the power of Shenlong-sama, I can do this well enough."

"So ...... I see. That's great ......."

"This well is poisoned, as I thought. The smell is ...... terrible."

Escalina interrupts their conversation. She stuck her head into the well and peeked inside. Upon closer inspection, she saw that she was wearing a thin robe. Her back was completely transparent, but her buttocks were not completely visible because the cloth was thicker, but still, the shape of her buttocks was completely visible because the cloth was tightly attached to her body.

Linos looked at Soleil, having a hard time keeping his eyes on her. She is also wearing the same robe. Although her breasts and hips are not exposed, the lines of her body are visible. I remembered that everyone in the village of Siljus wore this robe.

Soleil is smiling kindly while looking at her husband.

"I've never experienced such a smell before..." she said.

Escalina looked up. She looked very glamorous, her long blue hair in place.

"Um, ...... Mr. Linos, ......."

A male voice called out to him, and Linos came to himself with a start. He clears his throat and opens his mouth loudly to the people standing there in a daze.

"I am very sorry, gentlemen, but the use of this well is forbidden for the time being. There is a possibility that poison has been thrown into the well. I will prepare water for you now, so please use this water for the time being."

He then held his hand over the basin in front of him, cast a water spell, and poured water from his hand vigorously.

"Escalina."

Soleil, who had been watching her husband, looked at Escalina. She nodded her head and strode away.

While I was wondering what she was going to do, she suddenly stopped walking and started to look at the ground, shaking her head from side to side.

"Soleil, what the hell are you doing?"

"I'm going to make a fountain here."

"What?　A fountain?"

"Escalina can control water spirits. With her power, it will be easy to create a fountain here.

While the two were conversing, water was slowly rising around Escalina. Little by little, she was sinking. In proportion to this, the volume of the water was increasing rapidly.

Soon, a large pond had formed in front of Linos and the others. Escalina was neck-deep in the water, with only her face showing.

Eventually, she slowly made her way toward us. Gradually, her body was exposed. Her wet hair was very shiny. At the same time, because she had been in the water, her robe stuck to her skin so tightly that I could see the shape of her breasts even if I could not see them.

The men watched the scene with bated breath. Without regard for such things, Escalina opened her mouth without hesitation.

"We've brought up water from underground. Water is plentiful here. And it is good water. This water can be used for drinking without any problem. From now on, please use this spring instead of this well.

Escalina looked around with a blank expression on her face. The men could not help nodding their heads, their mouths hanging open.

"Mr. Linos!"

"Oh, oh, oh."

Linos suddenly heard his name called out, and he let out a yelp as he jerked his body around. Escalina snapped out of it and continued speaking.

"I beg your pardon, but we would like to check the water in this well. I am sure it is poisoned, but we need to find out what it is. ...... Um, Mr. Linos?"

Escalina looks doubtful. For some reason, Linos is looking away from her.

"What is it, Mr. Linos?"

Soleil comes up to him and speaks in a low voice. Linos grabbed the hem of Soleil's robe and opened his mouth to mutter.

"If you bend down, ...... you can see everything."

Soleil let out a laugh at these words, shaking her body.

A short time later, the area around the well was filled with a strange atmosphere.

Soldiers, who appeared to have come from the capital of Agartha, surrounded the well and set up a defensive posture so iron-clad that not even a mouse could get through. Inside the well, Mei, Chi-wan, and others from the University of Agartha were gathering water.

May put her nose close to the collected water to smell it, and when she took some in her mouth, she closed her eyes for a while and spit it out into another bottle. After gargling several times to cleanse their mouths, they opened their mouths with surprised expressions on their faces.

"This is just my sensation, but it is completely tasteless and odorless. I doubt if it is really poisoned. But you say that you can definitely smell it?

Out of the corner of May's eye, she saw Escalina. She has a stern expression on her face.

"Aside from the smell, this poison is of a kind never experienced before. Even the spirits I contract with cannot identify the poison. This has never happened before."

"I see. It's a new kind of poison, after all. I understand. Let's take it back to the university immediately for analysis.

After saying this, May took a stone out of her pocket and began chanting in a low voice. As if on cue, the people of Agartha University gathered at her side.

After a while, May and the others disappeared in an instant. Escalina and Soleil, who had confirmed this, also disappeared like a cloud and mist.

Meanwhile, in the capital of Agartha, soldiers were lining up in front of the main gate. All of them were ready for battle, holding swords and equipped with armor. Their eyes were fixed on the figure of Matkal. .......
