As the sun slowly sets down and more people from all walks of life and different races continued to drown themselves in food and alcohol thousands of pitch-black Symbiotic humanoids roam the entire city gathering all the needed information and observing the vast numbers of people still awake,
Lā mǐ'ěr sat on the tower floor where Hilas was also with him, he was in a meditation posture and politely ask Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron to keep watch, and he just closed his eyes and communicated with Laerdya asking if the device that she created worked, she explains this was a hard task to accomplish but with the help of everybody in her staff accumulated knowledge from some of the Symbiote that initially got additional information on what Ramiel had stored in his memory,
the High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography was a great device, every material that was needed to create this machine that separate each substance, was quickly solved by Erbamel Muldrulir third sister who was part of Laerdya's medical team, but they soon encountered a roadblock when they realize that the machine that was supposed to be giving out the analyzed date and will give out chemical explanation was beyond what they can replicate in their lifetime,
However, Erbamel didn't give up and with her team's help, they were able to come up with a new method of analyzing the substances using a combination of other techniques. This breakthrough not only solved their immediate problem but also opened up new possibilities for future research in the field.
it took them hours to finally break the chemicals in the potion, glycerol with a mixture of nitric and sulphuric acid when Ramiel heard this he spoke up and finally ask if they were able to find out what was its trigger.
Laerdya gave Ramiel her hypothesis that the possible trigger is highly connected with the person's emotion, Endorphins can make a person calm and the body gets hotter when stressed, after she injected the same liquid into a normal guinea pig nothing happen until the small creature got stressed out while it was its own kind and just exploded with enough force to destroy the laboratory table,
Erbamel explains that it depends on how much of this chemical was ingested, like what they did when injecting into the guinea pig was 5 milligrams. Ramiel asks if he can put the infected person to sleep and wait until the chemical inside the body dissipates naturally Laerdya added,
"nothing happened after an hour, so they placed the lab rat into its habitat, but after just a few minutes it suddenly exploded."
Due to the unknown amount of chemical ingested and how it would react with the body, Erbamel concluded that it wasn't safe to put the infected person to sleep, Laerdya suggested finding an alternative solution to contain the infection and prevent it from spreading further.
Ramiel mentally talked with Erbamel in disbelief and asked if there was any way to prevent the explosion from happening. Erbamel shook her head and mentally said that they needed to find a way to neutralize it.
Ramiel finally opened his eyes and looked at Hilas with a mix of shock and horror, realizing the severity of the situation. He knew they had to act fast to prevent any further casualties and find a way to solve this problem fast,
Beta suddenly Appeared and shock Hilas but Lā mǐ'ěr explain who she really was, and after Beta politely ask what should they do with his guest inside the void room, and mentioned the elite knights were panicking considering they got dragged inside the void by creatures who were known to be legendary grade, with this information he knew that the participating Knights from Ivlares were not infected including Earl Reeve Gallien, something suddenly came into his mind
" Erbamel if you inject the same substance in one of the Symbiote workers will it also explode?"
"Why do you ask my lord?"
"I want the collective to gain chemical confirmation and recognize those same chemicals and I shall fuze it with one of my spells."
"I think the Symbiote won't explode with just a small dose, just half a milligram might be fine,"
The Symbiote who first obtain the potion raised its hand and volunteered, so without further delay Erbamel injected half a milligram and waited until gets absorbed by the collective, without normally producing any emotional stress the Symbiote volunteer made a thumbs up when it started to move erratically all of the staff inside the room took cover for the explosion when the Symbiote volunteer gave out a loud burp that never happened before,
while this was happening Ramiel ordered Beta to relay the information they gained and tell them to remain a guest at Arcane just for a day, when Erbamel confirmed the test was a complete success, Lā mǐ'ěr grab Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron hand and asked her
" Do you trust me?"
she just smiled and nodded and just walked into the summoned transfer gate and emerge outside at his Mansion where Finbor and Sharn were handling the affairs with the guest, Ramiel asked Sharn to escort them into a secured area while he safely gathers more people,
"Please treat them like how you treat me!"
"yes, my lord!"
It was a stunning sight, seeing the location they were in, it was inside the forsaken forest and they all saw the huge roots overflowing with mana branching upwards, acting as a form of protection from the harsh elements of this cursed land, the knights were reunited with their master and were delighted she was with them, Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron, Leilatha Atinen, both Earl Reeve and Eiresti Nimwen Gallien were also there and the four male knights named Eaffo, Cedae, Vaerro, and Laminro.
They were escorted to a luxurious huge waiting lobby-type chamber with six connecting rooms inside for those who wish to sleep or get some sense of privacy, all seven saw its magnificent interior design which was filled with all available accommodations and necessities fit for a king,
The group was in awe of the opulence and comfort of the waiting chamber, with plush furnishings and state-of-the-art equipment at their disposal, even the toilets were different. this made the male knights so happy, The walls were adorned with intricate artwork and the ceiling was a beautiful mosaic, adding to the grandeur of the room. As they settled in, they couldn't help but feel grateful for the hospitality they were receiving.
