The Standard of Reincarnation Episode 14
Some time later.
Revan Adenka came to Vincen’s room.
The divinity of the collateral collapsed by Vinchen at the Jingeomhoedong.
In his right hand was a single sword.
Vinchen asked without being particularly flustered.
“What is going on?”
and around that time.
Seri, who made a sandwich with a happy heart, found this place.
‘Le Revan Adenka!’
Revan Adenka.
An ugly guy who expresses all sorts of inferiority towards Vinchen, who is a deity of the collateral line but also a direct descendant.
Her gaze reached Revan’s right hand.
‘He’s holding a sword!’
As you can see, it was not at all peaceful.
Seeing Revan Adenka from a distance, it looked as if an accident would happen.
‘Should I call Sir Jerone?’
I decided not to make too much fuss.
Seri knew very well that she shouldn’t provoke a warrior with a sword.
But then.
I saw Revan Adenka kneel.
said Levan.
“I learned a lot from you.”
Se-Ri stopped right there.
It was something she hadn’t expected.
It was not easy to step off.
“I showed you the ugly side.”
“It did.”
“But you forgave me and consumed your miracle stone to heal my arm. I paid nothing.”
Revan’s face turned red.
He has suffered from nightmares since that day.
Demons appeared in my dreams and teased me as a ‘coward’.
In fact, he was cowardly and the memory of that day was a disgrace.
“I wanted to sacrifice my father’s arm that day to restore my arm.”
“You must know that it was a shame.”
“okay.”
Revan lowered his head.
Even with ten mouths, there was nothing to say.
“I was cowardly at the time. Even though he was a collateral, he was so pitiful that he couldn’t inherit Adenka’s blood.”
“….”
“Today’s me doesn’t want to be cowardly.”
The past cannot be erased.
Levan knows that too.
But you can change the present.
“I pondered for days what I could pay for.”
“so. Did you find the answer?”
Revan was silent for a moment.
After taking a deep breath, he opened his mouth.
“There is nothing I can give you right now.”
“then?”
“I want to swear allegiance to you.”
Vincen laughed.
‘He’s not a rotten guy from the root.’
Everyone makes mistakes.
The important thing is whether or not to correct the wrong.
Revan faced his own cowardice to right his wrong.
Revan silently waited for Vincen’s sentence.
Vinchen asked Yulian.
‘how is it? Are you feeling a little better?’
-no. If you want to be relieved, you have to slit his neck.
‘Then should I slap her?’
Yulian didn’t answer for a while, then spoke soon.
-I don’t believe in loyalty like that. So what you believe in is your brother.
Yulian decided to do Yulian’s work.
-I will doubt him and use him.
Revan’s oath of allegiance.
I decided to make it so that it could lead to actions and results, not just words.
-I think we can subdue the ‘Red Devil’ with Revan.
Adenka’s first official mission.
Yulian began to think of a way to complete the mission.
Revan’s trembling voice was heard.
“Will you… accept my oath of allegiance?”
“Is this an oath in words?”
Revan shook his head.
Revan turned the handle of the sword towards Vincen and put it down on the right side.
“I am Levan Adenka.”
That a warrior puts down his sword by himself.
To change the direction of the sword.
It meant offering one’s neck to one’s opponent, and it also meant true loyalty.
“I will lay down my sword and swear allegiance to you.”
Vincen looked at Revan for a while.
Yulian said he didn’t trust Revan.
‘I said it’s up to me to believe, right?’
Vincen believed in his own discernment.
The Revan he saw was sincere.
‘This child is sincere.’
I took the sword out of the scabbard.
‘Hongryeon’ with a distinctive red blade appeared.
Revan opened his eyes wide.
‘Could it be Hongryeon?’
It must have been red.
Goosebumps formed on the back of my neck.
‘You’ve been recognized by both the householder and Mrs. Versailles at the same time. already.’
Vinchen tapped Revan’s shoulder once with the back of a red lotus sword.
It means not attacking from a position where you could take your life at any time.
It meant forgiving the other person and accepting their allegiance.
“I accept your oath. I will stand by your side too. As long as you don’t betray me.”
Vincen held out his hand while holding the sword in the scabbard.
Revan stood up holding Vincen’s hand.
Revan spoke again.
“thanks. Forgive me.”
“If you’re thankful, you’ll do well in the future.”
“…okay.”
Vinchen added a word.
“When inducing the first flow of mana, try pouring it out at once rather than dividing it into three branches.”
Julian replied.
-Are you going to reconcile well and get fucked?
The induction of the first flow of imagery is three-pronged.
That was basic.
Based on it, it can be freely transformed as achievement increases.
-Three branches are the most stable flow.
Combining the three prongs into one makes the flow too strong.
The magic circuit could be damaged.
The most stable and efficient flow that mankind has discovered over hundreds of years is the three-pronged beginning.
“You have the Iron Man trait, so you’ll be much better that way.”
Julian was momentarily shocked.
Unknowingly, I pondered over Vinchen’s words.
– Come to think of it, that’s how it is.
Vincen laughed.
‘So that’s stupid. Theory and practice are different.’
It was such an easy thing to hear.
The iron man has a hard body and a strong magic circuit.
Then there was no need to insist on the ‘three-pronged’ formula that was tailored to the ‘majority of people’.
‘This is why they say that they have moved away from the fundamentals of martial arts.’
Leaving aside the basic understanding of martial arts.
Everyone is memorizing formulas.
Fast and efficient calculations are possible with formulas, but formulas without knowledge of the principles are meaningless.
‘It’s the harm of formulas without principles.’
At least that was the case for Vincen.
Meanwhile, Se-ri put her sandwich basket on the ground, holding her hands together and staring at Vincen.
‘What a wonderful day.’
I didn’t know that this day would come.
She was genuinely happy.
And then he lifted the basket.
“Confucius!”
Seri’s voice was as bright as ever.
“It’s a sandwich with lots of ham.”
Then he moved his gaze towards Revan.
To be honest, Seri hadn’t completely forgiven Revan yet.
‘Still, our Confucius forgave me.’
Then it was right to walk along that road.
He spoke kindly like never before.
“Would you like some, too? It is a delicious sandwich.”
* * *
Vinchen obtained permission to access the 3rd level library.
In the 3rd level library, numerous books were organized by type, but among them there were several bookshelves that were collected as ‘non-categorized’ because it was difficult to accurately categorize them.
A story like a legend passed down as a useless nonsense folktale. The absurd swordsmanship training method, etc.
It was these useless books that Vincen was interested in.
-This is a third-class library. You probably don’t have the advanced information you want. If there is, it must be cleverly hidden in the absurd storybook.
Even if you distorted all the officially published history, you wouldn’t be able to get rid of everything that exists.
There was a high possibility that he could not even touch absurd storybooks or folktales.
Vinchen visited the 3rd level library for several days and read many books in the ‘Unclassified’ sector.
‘this. I’m interested.’
[The watermill and first love]
Yulian was genuinely bewildered.
First love with the watermill.
-Do you really read that?
‘okay.’
-why?
‘just.’
Vinchen started to turn the pages in silence.
There was nothing very special about it.
It was a novel about the romance of a young man from the countryside who dreams of becoming a soldier and a lady who came to recuperate.
‘Isn’t the main character a bit strange?’
It was strange to him.
It is a warrior without an image, but it has the characteristics of ‘steel stamina’ and ‘third leg’.
– It’s a romance novel. That’s fiction.
‘Think about it. Why am I attracted to this?’
Julian let out a deep sigh.
– It’s a bit too much to ask you to analyze your own psychology that you don’t even know about.
That’s what he said, but Yulian analyzed the novel in his own way.
We have reached the climax of the novel.
– Romance novels usually have a climax where the main characters fall in love.
However, this romance novel contained the content of punishing the villain instead of such content.
The main character spoke as if teaching the villain in the work.
[“We have to go back to before. Since the path was found through the theory of imagery, now it is necessary to know how to reconstruct the path by inducing mana without imagery.”]
Yulian sighed.
It didn’t even sound like words.
-In the first place, trying to induce mana without images would kill them all…
Yulian was speechless.
I knew one savage human who induced mana without an image.
The human is alive and well.
-…isn’t it?
[“It is not inducing mana flow through characteristics, but rather creating a flow of mana to manifest characteristics.”] It
was the opposite of common sense.
Now, I use the characteristics to implement my abilities.
However, the content of this book was the opposite.
It was about creating a specific flow and artificially creating characteristics.
Vincent said.
“I don’t know how to induce mana flow to manifest characteristics.”
However, there was one person (?) who memorized the path accurately and mastered the theory.
That person was Julian.
[“For this to be possible, all existing image theories must be discarded. This is because only free mana without imagery makes all of these things possible.”]
All conditions were perfect for Vincen.
‘How are you? Shall we try it?’
-I only studied the expression of characteristics through books. So there must have been a part that was lacking to actually apply…
But now the situation was different.
There was one person around who could be of full help.
A person who has a lot of research and has characteristics that are not high enough for the current Vinchen to learn.
-Of course, at this moment, Revan Adenka has sworn allegiance.
A warrior who manifested the characteristics of an iron man and swore allegiance to Vinchen.
Julian swallowed his saliva.
-I think it’s worth a try.
Yulian’s voice began to rise.
– He said he could do anything.
