186 - - Chapter 186 Open Questioning Session
Rinos entered the hall and began to whisper something to one of the bishops of the cathedral. At first the bishop looked doubtful, but finally he went to check with his superior and told Rinos that he had been given permission, although he was puzzled. When he entered the hall, May and the other three were seated and Linos was the only one standing there.
Everyone in the hall was looking at Rinos with a sense of confusion and anticipation of what was about to happen. In the silence, two bishops brought a small desk and placed it right in the middle of the two. The desk was placed just below the Pope on the platform.
When he had finished, Linos strode over and sat down at the desk. He lays out paper and pen on the desk, and when he finishes, he straightens his back and looks composed. The room, however, remains silent. Linos looks around the room again and opens his mouth.
"Please? You can get started, okay?"
"King Agartha."
It was the Pope who spoke.
"Excuse me for coming from such a place. It\'s my first time to see you. My name is Jouvancel Sein, Pope of the Order of Crimiana. I am Juvencel Thén, Pope of the Order of Climiana.
He looked down at Linos below with his usual soft smile. Linos stands up quickly and bows to the Pope.
He stands up and bows to the Pope. "Pope, thank you very much for this opportunity. Thank you very much.
The Pope nodded with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"I heard that King Agartha heard the voice of the Lady Climiana. Perhaps King Agartha is the messenger sent by Lady Klimiana?
Still smiling softly, the Pope turns his kindly eyes toward Linos.
"That story has nothing to do with today\'s discussion. We have limited time, so why don\'t we start the Q&A session first?
The entire hall freezes. However, the Pope kept smiling softly.
"Yes, that\'s right. King Agartha is right. Then let us begin. King Agartha, do not come to that place, but come to me. Schneughart.
When his name is called, the cardinal stands up and tries to take his place.
"Oh, no, that\'s fine, that\'s fine, stay where you are. It\'s not so easy to do it there.
Linos restrains him with his hand. Schneiderhart looks at the Pope with a puzzled look on his face. The Pope nods slowly and takes his seat again.
"Well, then, let\'s begin.
Hearing the Pope\'s voice, Imani opens his mouth.
I am Imani, director of the Institute of Medical Research of the Crimiana. I am very happy to have this opportunity to address you. I hope that this conference will lead to the development of medical science, and that we will be able to study each other\'s work. I look forward to working with you.
In response, May stands up.
"My name is Meilias, and I serve the King of Agartha, Linos. I have been puzzled by the findings announced by the Church of Crimiana that the diseases of Cirithrae, Geisha, and Leroyans are transmitted through the bodily fluids of certain beastmen, and that the bile of sheep and beastmen is effective as a special remedy for these diseases. This is why I have asked you to hold this question session. Thank you very much."
May\'s clear and dignified voice echoed through the hall. After bowing, May continued her speech.
First of all, I think that the theory published in this medical book, Sanctuary, is logically sound. However, I do not believe in this theory because it does not contain any specific details. Please explain this point to me."
May then takes a seat. In response, Glarina opens her mouth.
"Specifically, the special remedy is to add a certain amount of the acid solution I have developed to the bile of the Seelenguter..."
"No, that\'s not what I mean."
It was Zhuang who interrupted Glarina.
"It\'s my first time to meet you. I am the director of the Posehai Clinic, Mr. Zhuang.
The whole place shook." Posehay?""" Um, Posehay..." Whispers like that could be heard from everywhere.
"What we are asking is, how many cases have you tested and how many replications have you done?
"I see. I understand."
Imani, director of the Institute of Medical Research at Klimiana, opens his mouth.
"Indeed, we have the paper that you Posehaye published earlier.... <
Imani speaks with passion in every word.
"Well, after all, I\'ve heard that Posehaye is casually experimenting on the human body, so it\'s no wonder that he is able to produce reasonable results at the announcement stage," he said.
It is Dalinar, the deputy director, who is speaking in such a sarcastic manner. Dalinar was inwardly disgusted with this Posehay. The Crimiana Institute of Medicine is one of the most prestigious in the world. The Institute is proud of its outstanding talent from all over the world, and its overwhelming brains have led the world\'s medical world. On the other hand, Posehay carefully nurtures young researchers by not so many coaches. In the past, many of the papers they published were not suitable for human subjects, but in the last few years, they have been able to eradicate diseases that even Crimiana had not been able to elucidate for many years. The Question Session was partly a struggle between Klimiana and Posehay for supremacy in the medical world. However, this awareness was stronger on the side of Dalinar and the other Crimiana members, while the Posehayes did not take any notice of them.
Roni opened his mouth to Dalinar, who was staring at the Posehai while suppressing his feelings.
"I admit that we used to experiment on human beings. However, most of the papers published in the last few years have used large rats as demonstrations. We have not conducted any human experiments.
"Putting aside the subject of human experimentation, we would like to make three requests of you."
May makes a refreshing speech.
One, why do the bodily fluids of some beastmen cause Kirisrei, Geisscher, and Leroyance? The Sanctuary does not provide specific examples of this. Experiments on the incidence of the disease should be carried out in several non-Krimyana countries. I dare say that augurs, for example, have a very similar constitution to the human body. I think it would be acceptable to use them."
The cathedral is abuzz. But when the Pope holds up his hand, it is instantly silent.
"...Thank you. The second is that the bile of the sheep beastmen is a special remedy, and that it is a medicine that can cure the disease completely, and that it should be tested in various countries on individuals who have already been tested for the disease in the first case.
May takes a breath.
"And third, we need to find out how to develop a cure."
Once again, the cathedral is abuzz. There is a mixture of invective against May. The main speakers seem to be members of the medical research institute in Klimiana.
"Silence!"
The Pope\'s words once again brought silence to the cathedral. May, seeing this, looked at Roni and nodded.
"We have been asked to reproduce the theory of the Institute for Medical Research of the Crimiana that the infections of Cirithrae, Geisscher, and Leroyans are transmitted through the bodily fluids of the beasts, and that the cure for this is the bile of sheep and beastmen, by means of experiments conducted by research institutes around the world gathered here.
The cathedral was filled with a mixture of groans and murmurs. In the midst of it all, the Pope, without losing his usual smiling gaze, admonished the pews in a gentle but clear voice.
Let us be quiet, be quiet. Let us hear to the end the story of Queen Agartha, the researcher of Agartha.
The groans and murmurs gradually subsided.
"You mean to tell me that you are going to conduct a reproduction experiment with the countries of the researchers gathered here! Ridiculous! How long do you think this is going to take!"
Dalinar, the deputy director of the institute, is the one who speaks out as if to spit.
"It is possible."
Loni\'s voice drowns out Dalinar\'s. She stands up quickly and bows her head.
All of us at Posehay have transfer skills. All of us Poseidonians will transfer you to our respective countries. Then, in two weeks, we will pick you up again and gather you here. As I recall, the pathogen is transmitted through the bodily fluids of the beastmen, and it takes a few days for the human race to develop the disease... right? If you can teach us how to manufacture a special remedy, I believe that it will be possible to reproduce the experiment in two weeks."
"No, I\'m saying we don\'t need to replicate the experiment in every country in the world."
May immediately responded to Dalinar\'s statement.
"Wait a minute, Deputy Director Darriner. If the special medicine is effective, we can learn how to produce it in each country, so that we can respond quickly when these diseases spread. Or are you saying that the method of producing the special remedy will be monopolized by Klimiana and will not be given to any country that does not like it? I am sure that your fears are unfounded, but I hope that you will consider my request when you think about the future of the world.
No one objected to May\'s statement.
"The point is that we want to prove that Klimiana\'s theory was not a coincidence.
Loni opens his mouth further. Dalinar looks as if he is biting a bitter bug.
"Sho... Director!"
Dalinar looks at Imani next to him. But Imani remained calm and looked at May with quiet and intelligent eyes...
