Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

The next morning, a man and a woman on a horse were heading straight south. Needless to say, it was Albe and the woman. It was Albe who controlled the horse, but he could not handle the horse. Surprisingly, however, the woman could handle the horse without any problem, so she was holding the reins.

"My name is Milwa. Siljus.

While steering her horse, the woman began to tell her story to no one in particular. Albe put his hands around the woman's waist and clung to her body, just listening to her story in silence.

"A Siljus has to make a contract with a spirit before he comes of age. Otherwise, death will come. I have a contract with Pope, the spirit of the air. This spirit is useful. It can manipulate the shades of the air and can carry smells and scents far away."

Milwa's story was like a fairy tale to Albe. He had never heard of the Silurians, and the idea of making a contract with a spirit had never occurred to him.

The woman continued her story without regard to him.

"Is your poison effective as a poison even if it evaporates?

"I don't know. I don't know."

"Are you not a medicine man?"

"......"

"Well, okay. You can try somewhere else. No, wait.　If it is poisonous, doesn't that mean that it affects the spirits that I am to use?　Huh?　What do you think?"

"I don't know. I don't know."

"...... Well, good. For now, all we have to do is kill that Soleil."

"......Why, what?"

"Why?　It's obvious. Because I hate you.

"......"

She tried to kill me. That's why."

"......"

You don't know us Siljus. We must make a pact with the spirits before we come of age. For only by assimilating the spirits do we gain the power to live.

Albe only listens to the woman's words with a stunned expression on his face.

"But that woman, ...... Soleil, took away the spirit I had signed up with. Thanks to her, I almost died. ......"

Milwa says she spent years trying to get various spirits to sign up. Thanks to her efforts, she was able to make a contract with a certain forest spirit. Moreover, the spirit was of a very high rank.

The status of a Psyllus is proportional to the rank of the contracted spirit. In other words, if he could make a contract with a spirit of a higher rank, his status was guaranteed as it was. At this stage, Mirwa's position in the Siljus was so high that he was promised to be the next chief of the Siljus.

However, one year later, Mirwa suddenly had the contract unilaterally broken by the spirit. It was very unusual for a spirit to unilaterally break a contract with a person through no fault of his or her own. Mirwa, who was about to become an adult, fell to the lowest level among the Silures at this stage. What was more serious was her body. If she did not make a contract with another spirit soon, she would have to accept death.

However, it was difficult to find a spirit who would make a contract with her. The spirit who finally made a contract with her was a spirit of a lower rank than the previous one.

The fall of a candidate for the next head of a tribe: ....... Moreover, the spirit that Milwa had contracted with had, of course, contracted with Soleil. Taking over a spirit was considered to be a prohibited act in the Silurians. However, Soleil's act was never pursued, and was left unquestioned.

Soleil must not have been accused of the crime because she was the daughter of the chief. Thinking of this, Milwa felt that everything was ridiculous. She secretly left the village and set out on a wandering journey around the world.

With the skills she learned in the village, she never had to worry about her life. She spent her days in luxury, seducing strong and rich men. When the man declined or she grew tired of him, she looked for another man. As the years went by, one day they heard a rumor that Soleil had married Linos, King of Agartha.

It was not a rumor, but a fact. At that time, Agartha was still not well known and was considered to be the country that had won the war against the Lamaronic Empire and had annexed Lamaron. Needless to say, Lamaron was originally the country where the home of the Silurians was located. That country was poor and often burned forests to expand cultivated lands in order to increase food production. Under the influence of this, Siljus also moved his village to a different place several times.

Mirwa, who thought it was only a matter of time before such a pretentiously powerful country would be destroyed, felt no particular emotion when she heard that Soleil had married the king of the country that had won the victory over Lamaron. The fact that she was taken in as a concubine rather than a full wife also did not arouse Mirwa's feelings.

Over time, however, Agartha's fame grew rapidly. Beginning with the repulsion of the interference of Klimiana, Agartha was victorious in the various battles that ensued. At the same time, Agarta steadily established itself as one of the leading nations in the world in terms of culture and technology.

The decisive factor that made Mirwa want to kill Soleil was the fact that she gave birth to the child of the King of Agartha. Moreover, it was a boy, and he did not die immediately after birth, but was still alive.

Needless to say, the Agartha royal family has a crown prince named Idea. The child that Soleil gave birth to was her younger brother. But for now, there are only two sons in the Agartha royal family. If anything should happen to the Crown Prince Idea, the child born by Soleil will be the King of Agartha. That in turn means that Soleil will be the mother of the king. If that happens, she would be as good as having the supremacy over the world.

At this thought, Milwa involuntarily trembled. She would not want to live in such a world, even if it kills her. If given the chance, she would have to take her life somehow. That's what she decided at that moment.

How many more have there been? She had seduced a rich woman, Miralda, and was living a good life as her mistress. This Albe appeared.

This is a man that Milwa would not normally have taken a shine to. His face and attitude were lacking in confidence, and he was a shabby man with no sense of cleanliness at all. ....... However, she did not miss the fact that this man had a dark plot in his heart. And intuitively, she knew this man would be useful.

There was nothing wrong with her eyes. This man could make tasteless and odorless poison. He had successfully poisoned the wary Miralda. Truly, he was a fearsome apothecary with the ability to make tasteless and odorless poisons. This man can kill Soleil. ....... Milwa was convinced in her gut.

"You want to live with a beautiful woman ....... You said that, didn't you?"

"...... yeah."

"Then kill King Agartha along with Soleil. I hear all of his queens are quite beautiful. You can't have Soleil, but you can have the other women as you wish. Or what?　If it's not a live girl, you don't like it?"

"...... no."

"Of course you are. You're the kind of man who likes whatever women you like. I don't care if she's older or younger. And you don't even think about the difference in status. Cahahahahahahaha."

"......"

"By the way, don't you do anything?"

"...... what?"

"The man I used to live with always wanted my body. He enjoyed my body while we rode like this. You don't?"

Albe made no reply, but sighed heavily and looked up to the heavens.
