Episode 109, the essence of reincarnation,
Vinchen focused on one word.
“You mean you were chosen?”
“okay.”
Vinchen felt that Yulian was listening to Versa with more concentration than ever.
The fact that he was related to his biological mother seemed very important to him.
At times like this, I felt like I was fortunate to have a childlike corner left.
“okay. Thousand fruits are not trees that are commonly thought of.”
“What does that mean?”
“It’s a huge dragon.”
“yes?”
Vincent opened his eyes wide.
dragon
In the first place, dragons do not show up well in the world, and most of them are known to be extinct.
“To be precise, it is something in the shape of a dragon. It might be an authority created by someone borrowing the body of a dragon.”
“If it’s by authority…”
“That means it’s not a real life form. The ‘choice’ I’m talking about does not mean that Cheon Kwa-soo has an ego and chooses with will.”
It was a strange story.
That is to say, celestial trees are not trees and have no real use.
It is said that the unknown thing in the shape of a dragon makes ‘cheongwa’ in the stomach.
“Only when special conditions are met, the celestial fruit tree spit out the celestial fruit.”
“What conditions?”
“I’ve only experienced it once, so I can’t generalize.”
“That one experience must have had something to do with my biological mother.”
“okay.”
Versa continued.
“At the time, I was a young soldier belonging to the Helaim Mael Sword Corps. Your birth mother, Sarvina, was a second-class representative cadet at the Red Fortress, and your father was a first-class representative cadet.”
It was the first time not only Vincen but also Julian had heard of it.
“Do you know that there is a procedure that first-class cadets must go through before becoming a paseongmuin?”
“I have never heard an explanation.”
“You must know about the Nile Falls, right?”
The Red Fort is a fortress built on a rugged terrain, and there was a huge waterfall inside.
The largest of these was the Nile Falls.
A huge waterfall with a width of 700 meters and a height of 60 meters.
“Class 1 cadets are tasked with entering a waterfall and digging out pearls from waterfall clams.”
“A waterfall clam… It must be a class 3 fish and shellfish that lives only in the waterfall.”
“You know me well.”
Waterfall clams are special clams that live only in waterfalls.
It has a shell harder than steel and tentacles sharper than a famous sword.
“I heard that it has the ability to move freely in waterfalls, making it very difficult to deal with, and also has the ability to attack using water.”
“okay. It sucks up water and shoots it like a cannon. It is a very annoying monster.”
Very annoying.
That was just right.
It’s not impossible if the 1st class cadets are united, but it’s very annoying.
Yulian pointed out the strangeness there.
-It’s not an impossible mission for first-class cadets. But it’s strange that this has been followed as a custom.
Waterfall clam pearls are of little value as treasures.
The color was cloudy and the smell was disgusting, so the words were pearls, but there were no cases where they were used as jewelry.
Compared to the cumbersome things to deal with, there was not much to gain.
“It’s not just convention… there must have been something hidden. That was heaven.”
“Sarvina and your father found a huge cave leading into the waterfall. It was thanks to your mother’s voracious curiosity.”
Ordinary first-class cadets focused only on the ‘mission’.
So, he was only obsessed with hunting for waterfall clams and collecting pearls.
For them anyway, the ‘Red Fortress’ was just a gateway to pass by.
Because ‘Paseong Muin’ was their true beginning.
They did not attach much importance to this annual custom.
“Your biological mother was always bright and cheerful. I always saw new things and had many dreams. She was a second-class representative cadet, but her skills were not far behind those of the first-class cadets. No, her skills were not at all inferior to those of your father.”
“…”
This was also a fact that was not widely known to the world.
Because it was tacitly forbidden to mention Sarvina in Adenca.
“Since your birth mother married your father, she has no longer lived as a soldier.”
“…why?”
“By the time they entered the Nile Falls together, Sarvina had lost most of her strength as a warrior.”
“….”
“For some reason, Sarvina seems to have been convinced that the dragon she found inside was a thousand fruit trees. I jumped myself into the dragon’s mouth. We tried to stop her, but it was too late. After a while, she opened the dragon’s mouth herself and came out again. In her hand was an apple-shaped fruit.”
“Was that a cloth?”
“I didn’t know it at the time, but I think it was heaven. Your mother semi-forcedly handed over the cheongwa to your father.”
“Your father must have eaten cloth fruits.”
“no. The head of household refused to eat cloth. Because it belonged to your mother. Sarvina was no longer forced, and the cloth was stored in Adenka’s black safe.”
And he said time has passed.
Sarvina gradually grew thinner.
“She left a last request. Be sure to eat the cloth fruit.”
In the end, Khan said that he ate the cheongwa with Yuji.
Versa paused for a moment.
“We still do not know what price Sarvina had to pay to obtain the fruit. Why did you lose your power? Why did he have to die so quickly? I don’t know anything. She didn’t tell me the details until after she died. We only knew that there was an unknown pattern on her back.”
I assumed it was some kind of curse.
Vinchen stared at Versailles.
Versa seemed to be feeling various strange emotions as she spoke.
Perhaps Versa seemed to miss Sarvina, felt pity for her, or seemed to hate her.
“Even though she lost all her strength, she was the spiritual supporter of Adenca and a woman who received absolute support from Adenka warriors.”
“What kind of person was my biological mother to you?”
“I also respected and envied her.”
There was silence for a moment.
“That’s all I know. That there is a certain space inside the Nile Falls and that you can get fruits from it.”
The problem is
that for 500 years, few of the numerous cadets have discovered the ‘cave’.
“There must be something that makes it difficult to find even with the skills of first-class cadets. Or, more precisely, it seems to have been made so that only certain special people can discover it.”
And
“You are saying that even if you do find it, you will have to be chosen by a thousand and one, and that may involve a great sacrifice, right?”
Seriousness dwelled in Vinchen’s eyes.
In many circumstances, it was correct that Aslan left the ‘Red Fortress’.
But that wasn’t the end.
‘It’s prepared for the thousand and also me.’
Aslan 500 years ago meant that he foresaw today.
Aslan seemed to know that Daven would be reincarnated with a ‘sacred sacrum’.
The fact that the sacrum that has been eaten away needs a cloth fruit.
Vincent once again made up his mind.
‘Why did you prepare for such an elaborate future?’
Was it simply for the honor of Daven, who was recorded as the Great Devil?
I thought maybe that wouldn’t be the end.
After much thought, Vinchen asked.
“Everything my mother taught me. Are things about heaven a secret?”
“It has never been defined as a secret.”
The ‘adults’ of Adenka think that Sarvina is dead because of the fruit.
Since the woman he really loved died, everyone was reluctant to comment on it.
Vinchen bent down and said.
“thank you.”
“It was just a reward worthy of your achievements.”
Versa turned and went outside.

Helios, the lord of the Six Magic Towers, frowned.
“There were guys who hit the ball. I expected it, but…”
The 6 Magic Tower could not go directly into the ‘underground’.
Those astute would know that Helios himself was sealing the ‘gate’ to the underworld, so he had to buy himself.
“Barom is dead and most of the researchers are gone. Looking at the traces, it is presumed that all of them had their wrists cut.”
“A video record?”
“It remains.”
Looking at the video record, Helios laughed.
“Vinchen was the first to attack, and Versa seems to have finished it perfectly.”
Vinchen killed Barom and destroyed all the research materials.
In preparation for this situation, restoration devices were prepared, but they were destroyed by Versa and her group.
“That’s right. Versa Helaim seems to have let all the dragons escape. The video record seems to have been intentionally left behind.”
The name of the person posting the report is Alberto.
He was the division commander who led the wizards of the 6 Mage Towers.
He was the one who led the ‘Friendly Exchange Meeting’ between Vinchen and Kagon in the past.
“But what’s strange is that Versailles didn’t particularly announce these facts.”
“Since it’s my family’s shame, they’re going to cover it quietly.”
“Of course you are right. But there seems to be another reason.”
“Another reason?”
“The presence of researchers and dragons can be a weakness for us as well.”
As expected by Vincen, the 6 Magic Tower was one of Hellaim’s masterminds.
just no evidence.
“The fact that Versa has them must mean that they have one of our weaknesses. However, there is no reason for Versa Helaim to do such a thing.”
Versa Helaim is an 8-star warrior.
There was no need to hold on to the magic tower’s weakness for self-defense.
“Perhaps Versa took the researchers and dragons to secure Vincen’s safety.”
“Wouldn’t Versa be able to do that?”
Helios let out a giggle.
Alberto’s analysis seemed reasonable at first glance, but Helios thought it could never be so.
“The opponent is Versa Helaim. I’m not the kind of person who would go that far for Vincen. Would she be called an iron-blooded giant for nothing?”
At that, Alberto couldn’t refute.
Helios let out a deep sigh.
“But regardless of Versa’s intentions, it’s true that we’re in a situation where we can’t harm Vincen. The division commander’s analysis was valid.”
He sighed once again.
There were a lot of wrinkles between the eyebrows.
“Study of grace has stopped at this point. We’ll bleed if we try to get something more. I’ll take care of Versailles myself, so I’ll ask the division commander to take care of it.”

Vinchen entered a restaurant.
In one corner of the restaurant, a group of people were eating.
Vinchen walked over to it and put his right hand on his chest.
“Humble homage to full honor. See you seniors.”
They were first-class cadets of the Red Fortress.
“Who is this? You are the subject of a lot of rumors.”
“What did you say? Like the boy who uncovered the secrets of the outcast camp and brought light to Hellaim.”
“Thanks to you, we received a lot of help too.”
Thanks to Vinchen’s initiation of the outcast camp case, the first-class cadets were able to make a mark in Mailtium and receive praise.
It wasn’t Vinchen’s intention, but Vinchen was a pretty big help to the 1st class cadets.
Perhaps because of that, the first-class cadets were quite favorable to Vinchen.
“It was very nice to see it at the ceremony at that time.”
“How could a guy like you be called ugly? It’s a world you don’t know.”
Vincen laughed shyly.
“I’m just grateful that you’re kind to me.”
Then he moved his gaze to Henna.
Henna was eating small slices of buttered bread.
“What is going on here?”
“There is something I really want to tell my sister and the first-class cadet seniors.”
The first-class cadets focused on Vinchen.
“There is a procedure that 1st class cadets must go through before becoming a paseongmun. Do you know?”
