The Standard of Reincarnation Episode 94
“Have you lost your eyesight?”
A long cut was engraved on Laurent’s face.
A horizontal long cut.
Vinchen could recognize at a glance that the scar was caused by a knife.
“How do you see it?”
“Looks like you cut yourself.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Because there are no other wounds.”
There was no sign of resistance on Laurent’s face or body.
If so, it means that it is the skill of a skilled person that Laurent cannot even resist.
“But the traces of the sword are by no means those of outstanding warriors.”
He was not an outstanding military man, but he cut Laurent’s eyes.
However, there is no trace of resistance.
Ultimately, it means that you did it yourself.
“…why did you do that?”
“Because I couldn’t contain it any longer.”
“What?”
“Cities ruled by my family. Citizens who are divided, fighting and suffering under it.”
Vincent shut his mouth.
Looking at Vincen, Laurent asked for understanding from those around him.
“I would like to speak with Vinchen alone.”
Old Barom’s body trembled.
“Anyway, that’s a bit…”
“It’s okay. And if that kid had made up his mind, he would have already cut everyone in this place.”
Barom tried to dissuade him several times as if he was worried about Laurent, but Laurent’s attitude was firm.
“Vinchen and me. Even if there are two left, the risk is the same as now.”
Eventually Barom spoke.
“Confucius Vincenzo. Come inside.”
Vincenzo entered the store after being guided by old man Barom.
After clearing the large table, there was a secret passage going down to the basement.
Laurent held out his hand.
“Can you hold my hand? As you can see, I am blind.”
“I see.”
When I came down to the basement, I saw a long passage.
Judging by the faint wind, it seemed to be connected to somewhere outside.
Laurent started walking along the brick wall on the left.
Then, his body stood still.
He groped around as if looking for something.
“Are you looking for this?”
Vincen took Laurent’s right wrist and brought it to a brick.
At the same time, the brick wall began to move.
I could feel Laurent’s body tremble.
“…how did you know?”
“Because the mana flow was heading to one place.”
The fact that the flow of mana was gathering in one direction was highly likely to be some kind of device.
In most cases it was.
“You mean you can feel that mana flow?”
“yes.”
“…”
Laurent was speechless for a while.
“The rumors about not being able to make the image seem to be true. I didn’t believe it.”
“Is that so?”
“Who would believe it? It is so strange that there are unmanned soldiers in this era who have not learned the theory of imagery.”
Laurent laughed lightly.
There was a bit of bitterness in that smile.
“This is how I failed. But you have succeeded.”
Most warriors do not use such barbaric methods.
Although there are those who learn martial arts without dealing with images, most of them die before reaching great heights.
As the imagery theory developed, the method of handling mana without imagery was abandoned.
The wall was rotated 90 degrees and an enclosed chamber was created.
“There will be a chair in the front. I would like you to sit me down.”
“All right.”
Vinchen brought a chair and seated Laurent.
“Why did you insist on going alone with me?”
“Did my sister send you?”
“That’s right.”
“But I have no acquaintance with my sister.”
Versa has been an equipment since birth.
He grew up receiving the expectations of the Hellaim family.
But not Laurent.
He was thoroughly shunned by his family and eventually came out of the family fence himself.
“My sister didn’t particularly reject me, but I never thought of her as family. It will be the same for your sister.”
“….”
“But it is difficult for me to understand why he sent you.”
Vinchen summarized the conclusions he had made and talked about them.
“To myself. And to inflict the greatest punishment on your family. I think so.”
“…is it.”
Actually, Laurent was thinking the same way.
Hearing it through Vincen, the son of Versailles, touched me more.
“I also have a question. Isn’t there another reason why you made the eyes that way?”
Laurent wasn’t used to the dark yet.
All actions needed help.
It was as if he had just opened his eyes.
“It doesn’t look like you’re only immersed in martial arts.”
Laurent got the feeling that Vincen’s field of vision was much wider than he thought.
“You are right. There are other reasons.”
Externally, it was announced that ‘I can’t bear to see the world the Hellaim family is creating with my own eyes’.
But that wasn’t the only reason.
“I organized a civil revolution and struggled for a long time. But nothing has changed, and now it has reached the stage where citizens divide and fight.”
Superlative Citizens and Higher Citizens.
upper and lower citizens.
They divide themselves into classes, biting each other and fighting.
“The number of high-ranking citizens from the Civil Revolutionary Corps is gradually increasing, and as a result, the Revolutionary Corps has become a situation where you do not know when it will collapse. So I had to be their focal point.”
The act of showing one’s faith by cutting one’s own eyes.
It was the hottest action I could show as the leader of the Civil Revolutionary Corps.
“I respect Sir Laurent’s choice.”
If it were me, I wouldn’t have done that.
swallowed the word
Laurent’s method did not suit Vinchen.
However,
‘Sir Laurent’s beliefs are certainly noble and worthy of respect.’
Vincen witnessed the Sunshine Camp firsthand.
I saw all the absurdities and wrong things there.
There were no real adults there.
By Vincennes standards, Laurent was a real adult.
Laurent continued.
“You saved the homeless from the Sunshine Outcasts Camp, right?”
Some of them came here and told us the reality of the place.
Thanks to this, Laurent came up with the idea of meeting Vincen in person.
“It was my mother and father who took care of the big things directly. And the black swordsman. I have only started.”
“But the people who were imprisoned there didn’t think so.”
The outcasts who came to Moose Dom thought that the person who saved them was Vincen.
Because Vinchen took the ‘pill’ and became a tramp himself, infiltrating and saving people.
“I will ask you one more thing. What did you feel in the sunbum camp?”
Vinchen accurately penetrated the heart of the question.
“The ‘warehouse’ there was the primary facility for smelting magic stones. There will definitely be a secondary facility.”
“Where do you think it is?”
“It must be the most mysterious place. For example, a place like Dersona, which is said to be accessible only to the highest-ranking citizens.”
“…Did you think of it yourself?”
“yes.”
“I think you know why my sister chose you.”
Vinchen had a different corner from the unmanned people Laurent had seen.
He possessed vision and insight that ordinary warriors do not possess.
At the age of only fourteen.
“What can I apply for?”
“Can you go to Dersona? A grand event will be held in the plaza there in two weeks.”
“Hellaim’s 200th anniversary event. You mean the Hydes meeting?”
This year marks exactly 200 years since the creation of Hellaim.
The Helaim family celebrated their 200th anniversary and held a grand event.
“At that time, many influential families and journalists from influential news outlets will be with us.”
The 200th anniversary event was also a place to show off the strength of the Helaim family and to strengthen relations with friendly families.
They won’t want to cause even the slightest trouble.
Currently, Hellaim’s biggest headache is the citizen revolutionaries.
They will suppress the Civil Revolution with all their might.
“There is one thing I would like to ask of you. Even just a little bit is good, so please draw my father’s attention.”
please draw attention
It was not a difficult request.
“that day. What are you going to do?”
“That’s a secret. All preparations will be taken care of by our revolutionaries. It’s what we started and we’ll finish it. That’s why my sister must have sent you, a student, not Adenka’s soldiers.”
Vinchen nodded.
“Would that be enough?”
“Even without your help, we would have done our job. It will be a little easier if you help me.”
“All right. Would that be enough?”
“I want to ask you one more favor.”
“Tell me.”
“Vinchen. You promised to help me, but the Citizen Revolutionary Army is not.”
“You are saying something very obvious.”
Vincen could understand what Laurent was saying.
“If there is a need to draw a sword, I will draw it. If blood must be shed, blood will be shed. Because I am Vincen Adenca, the 8th grade cadet, not the Civil Revolutionary Corps.”
“Can you swear by Adenka’s name?”
Vincent was silent for a moment.
Adenka.
This name was also very special for Vincen.
“I swear.”
Only then did Laurent smile brightly.
“Even though it’s only words, it’s the first time I’ve heard such a reassuring oath.”
The conversation in the secret room ended like that.
Laurent asked while climbing the stairs leading outside.
“Is there any way to get your father’s attention?”
Vinchen grinned.
“I intend to meet you in person. My maternal grandfather.”
after the conversation is over.
Just before going up to the ground, Vincen asked.
“Sir Laurent has a strange smell that I have never smelled before.”
In some ways, it was like the scent of a fragrant flower, and it was also like the smell of unpleasant filth.
It felt like the smell was changing every moment.
“…can you smell this?”
“Was it a smell I shouldn’t have felt?”
Laurent was speechless for a while.
“This smell is that of Marlene perfume. Do you know about Marlene perfume?”
“I am hearing this for the first time.”
“okay. you will hear it for the first time Marlene is also called odorless flower. made it into perfume. It’s a smell that can’t be smelled by ordinary methods, and can only be smelled by using the special method of the Citizen Revolutionary Army. How did you smell this?”
It was a situation where the senses of the whole body were raised using mana in preparation for an unexpected situation.
The sense of smell was also so amplified.
So I could smell this strange smell.
“It is a state in which the sensitivity of the sense of smell has been increased.”
“The sense of smell is a separate issue. It’s a smell that even dogs can’t smell.”
Vinchen could vaguely guess the reason.
If you deal with mana that has not been created, you will feel what others cannot feel.
“For whatever reason, it doesn’t matter. For some reason, it seems that heaven has sent you to us, Vincen.”
“Could I get that perfume too?”
He took out a bottle of Marlene perfume from his bosom.
Originally, it was an item that was never given to those who were not members of the Civil Revolution.
Laurent had never broken that principle before, but this time he broke it for the first time.
‘Somehow, I want to walk with this child.’
Somehow, a feeling of anticipation rose up.
“I just have an extra bottle. take it.”
* * *
Returning to the dorm, Vinchen said.
“We will head to Dersona.”
The tax collector found blood on Vincen’s clothes, but made no fuss.
He approached Vinchen and accepted Vinchen’s outerwear.
“When are you leaving?”
“Early tomorrow morning.”
“yes. Until then, I’ll wash and iron my uniform.”
“Thank you, Seri. It seems like you’re making it hard for nothing.”
“It is my happiness.”
Seri accepted Vinchen’s uniform with a smile.
His eyes were smiling, but his heart was not very comfortable.
But he said in a low voice.
“You have to be a little careful though. Because of the tramp case, the Hellaim warriors won’t look at you well.”
Furthermore, Dersona is the center of Hellaim.
There was no way to welcome Vincen.
“Don’t worry too much. They defined the camp incident as Demiar’s personal aberration. At least outwardly they won’t persecute me. Especially since there is a big event in two weeks.”
“all right. I will follow Confucius. If you need anything, please tell me anytime.”
“thank you.”
At Vinchen’s words of thanks, Se-ri smiled happily again.
Seeing that, Wilson surrendered deeply.
‘Whoa, I can’t beat that older sister.’
Wilson is also trying hard to be helpful to Vinchen, but the publican cannot win.
A strange sense of pride boiled over.
‘Heung, I won’t lose with loyalty either!’
I thought it would be nice if there was something I could do better than Seri.
I don’t know what it is, but I decided to look for it anyway.
next day.
They left for Dersona.
