The Standard of Reincarnation Episode 112
After Hena drew her sword, she turned around and looked at Vincen.
“If it wasn’t my job to protect you, I wouldn’t let you live. One last warning. Cool down and be polite.”
“I will ask you one thing.”
Despite Henna’s threats, Vinchen still did not let go of his momentum.
Vinchen was not intimidated even in front of Khan and Versa.
He spoke without shrinking.
“The dragons are very fond of their eggs. There are some great warriors among them. But how could my sister, who was a second-class cadet at the time, get hundreds of eggs?”
“…”
“What would you do if your sister’s mission was distorted and dirty in the first place?”
Henna dismissed it in one word.
“Useless sound.”
“no. You know. Looking back now, it was an impossible mission for a second-class cadet.”
Hena said that she does not make value judgments about the mission.
Until now, I would not have thought deeply about the mission.
But now it is different.
“I just don’t make value judgments. Aren’t you an idiot?”
“What’s the point? Are you accusing me that the mission itself was wrong and that I, who performed the wrong mission, was wrong?”
“I’m glad that’s all. I’m telling you that the mission isn’t on the wrong level, it’s just a dirty dirty ruse. Think about it. While getting hundreds of eggs, Sister must have firmly believed that the eggs were real eggs. Am I wrong?”
“no. It wasn’t wrong.”
Two years ago.
Henna definitely completed her mission and was recognized for her great achievements by Hellaim and was awarded a blue jewel.
That was the stepping stone to promotion to first class cadet.
“But the egg was obviously fake. It means that everything your sister has experienced is an elaborately embodied fake. To do so, sophisticated magic must be mobilized to perfectly fool the 2nd-class cadet and the 3rd princess of Adenka. Enough to firmly believe that my sister really carried out her mission.”
“…”
Henna’s body trembled very slightly.
It was a trembling so minute that it could not be seen with a reasonable eye, but Vincen was able to read the trembling.
All of a sudden, the pressure towards Vinchen disappeared.
Vinchen continued.
“At this point, my sister will also come to her senses. A person who can implement sophisticated magic enough to fool his sister perfectly. And someone who is presumed to have a fairly deep relationship with Hellaim.”
“Six Magic Tower Lord Helios.”
No official relationship between the Mage Tower and Hellaim has been revealed.
It was not revealed that Helios had sealed the ‘gate’ to the underground.
“yes. Helios will be right. They would have just needed an alibi for being sister. It’s an alibi that the person who saved the egg is my sister.”
“Why did they have to do that?”
“Because I would have taken out the egg in advance in a dirty and mean way that I could not dare imagine.”
Even during war, there are many things that are taboo.
For example, mobilizing warlocks and undead to attack the opponent’s family.
Massive sacrifices of civilians with indiscriminate wide-area magic using countless wizards.
Killing an opponent in an overly inhumane way by using poisons and curses.
“Even during war, there are certain things that are taboo, but that must have been a unilateral invasion, not a war. They hid it and made her believe that the egg was taken out. They just needed a witness, just in case.”
“….”
“Maybe at the Tower of Judgment we may request your sister to appear as a witness.”
“…”
“I have no intention of blaming my sister. But I am very angry with them for using you in that way.”
Henna shook her head with a grave expression.
“I was just carrying out the mission of the Red Fort.”
“no. Probably not.”
It was clearly the work of someone who knew the character of henna well.
“A person who does not make value judgments about his mission and who can testify only in the truth regardless of political merit or disadvantage in the future. I named you directly as such a person. If it’s a direct point mission, I’ve done it myself.”
Vinchen had been given a mission related to ‘mutant goblins’.
It was a mission delivered to the Red Fortress through the Presbyterian House, and it was a mission given directly to Vincen.
Clearly, there are missions like that.
“It was Elder Tiloban of Adenca who pointed me directly. How is your sister?”
“It was he who singled out me and gave me the mission.”
Vinchen nodded lightly.
“I don’t know if your sister knows, but he had a deep connection with Samion. He also dabbled in black magic. He’s good enough to do dirty things. The fact that Tiloban pointed out my sister to carry out the mission means Samion might be involved in this case.”
Yulian was deeply troubled in his own way.
‘Samion Tiloban Elder 6 Mage Tower Hellaim. They may be connected to each other.’
This underground incident was not simply an incident that ended in ‘underground’.
Before the ‘underground’, there was a ‘warehouse’ of the outcast camp.
Strictly speaking, ‘basement’ was a superordinate concept of ‘warehouse’.
‘If the research on the evil spirit contract was done in the outcast camp and it was completed through grace underground… the black magicians must be involved.’
A keyword flashed through Yulian’s head.
‘nightmare.’
The unknown force ‘Nightmare’ existed.
Samion.
Elder Tiloban.
6 mage tower.
hellaim.
black magician.
These five different keywords were not completely organically connected.
The linkage was a bit weak.
‘It makes sense if the nightmare fills that link.’
Vincent said.
“Sister couldn’t find an egg. I was fooled by magic and firmly believed that I had completed my mission. Therefore, your sister’s mission failed, and you were deceived into succeeding in your failed mission.”
“…”
I saw Henna clenching her fists.
-Now, wait a minute. I think you are very angry. Isn’t this dangerous for us?
Julian was frightened, but Vincen rather stimulated Henna more.
“If you are angry, be angry.”
At those words, Henna reflexively swung her sword.
– Hehehehehehe!
A long sword mark was engraved on the stone wall.
A few strands of Vinchen’s hair were cut off.
Vinchen just stood upright and looked at the henna.
‘My sister is not a doll.’
Henna surprised herself.
Unbeknownst to me, the emotion of anger welled up.
Her heart was still boiling, but Henna breathed and calmed herself.
Vincen felt a little regretful.
‘I could have erupted a little more.’
The henna Vinchen saw was still close to a doll.
It is not possible to pour out emotions that have been stagnant for 10 years with a single sword attack.
-Still, I didn’t expect your sister to react like that. Brother, didn’t you say that you were killed by a ruse a long time ago? I don’t think that’s going to happen if you talk like this.
‘Didn’t I tell you many times that this is not just talk, but the truth?’
– For that kind of thing, you seem very calm and rational.
Julian laughed haha.
-You’re a very insidious old man. I like it.
Henna looked around with emotionless eyes and only managed to breathe.
It was like that on the outside, but a hot tidal wave was rising in the heart.
It took quite a long time for the tidal wave to subside.
Vinchen waited silently for Henna.
After some time, Henna said.
“Was this your intention? Something that motivates me to act emotionally?”
“Aren’t you a little relieved?”
“…”
That was true.
Henna felt relieved for the first time.
“You are doing a very bad thing.”
Henna had closed the door to her heart.
It was because I didn’t want to feel the frustration of giving up on my dream.
I was afraid that if I became aware of my feelings, I would experience that frustration again.
“Not everyone has to be absolutely uninhabited. It is also impossible.”
“what?”
It is not allowed in Adenca.
All of Adenka’s immediate descendants must be absolutely unmanned.
I’ve been taught that way since I was young, and of course I thought so.
“I will do that role, sister.”
“….”
“I will surpass my father one day and even more subdue Samion. That is what I crave.”
Vinchen desperately wants it.
It wasn’t because someone ordered it, it was my own desire.
“Then what is your longing?”
* * *
Henna and Vinchen started climbing the stairs again.
Looking at Vincen’s back, Hena smiled lightly.
‘I will support your ambition.’
He said he would surpass his father and subdue Samion.
It was beyond self-confidence, to the point where it would be fair to call it a spirited spirit.
Seen through Henna’s eyes, Vincen was still just a young cadet.
For some reason, the young cadet’s proud declaration made me laugh.
‘You’re the first to ask what my longing is.’
And it was the first person who supported it.
A voice was heard.
“sister. You seem to be laughing.”
“I didn’t laugh.”
“You laughed.”
“Did you even have eyes on the back of your head?”
“When you smile, I feel better too.”
“why? Are you saying that I feel good when I smile?”
Henna sincerely did not understand.
“You will find out later.”
Vinchen climbed the stairs with a lighter heart.
I couldn’t find anything like treasure, but I achieved my goal of finding this place.
But Vincen stopped in place.
“Why?”
“I feel a strange mana flow.”
“Mana flow?”
Henna closed her eyes and tried to diffuse her excitement.
I didn’t feel anything.
“What are you talking about?”
“I feel what others don’t.”
Henna shut her mouth.
It didn’t look like Vincen was playing a joke.
“so? What flow do you feel?”
“It is a magical flow. I don’t know exactly what it is.”
“Then, think about it here.”
Henna took the lead and started walking.
Her steps quickened slightly.
– Brother, it’s noon.
Francis Art Memorial.
Noon on May 31st.
The day when the sunlight passes through the glass and draws a pattern of special protection.
It didn’t show off to Vincen, but Henna wanted to put the pattern in her own eyes.
So, without realizing it, I walked faster.
“The pattern of light leaking into the first floor. I don’t think that’s real, sister.”
“what?”
“I think I know where this strange mana flow is felt.”
Vinchen’s eyes went down the stairs.
“Closed movement gateway.”
moving gateway.
As an ensemble of modern magic engineering, it is driven by mana.
Numerous techniques such as mana condensation, amplification, expansion, and spread are concentrated.
From there, a strange mana flow was felt.
“The real one is below, sister.”
Vincent jumped down.
A closed gateway.
A bright light was emanating from it.
With an intense mana flow.
Perhaps it was a special device, the light from the first floor was reflected all the way to this place.
“Look.”
Something was being created above the movement gateway that looked like an altar.
Julian recited the record.
-They said that where the light reaches, there will be the grace of the Dragon King. The light was
clearly
reaching this underground place.
