The Standard of Reincarnation Episode 46
Vinchen got another strange feeling from Se-Ri.
My love that I have never experienced in my previous life.
This feeling was also quite precious to Vinchen.
“I’m just looking for something.”
If you can’t release the curse directly, there is another way to unlock the spell.
It was to find and eliminate the medium used in the ceremony.
“Because I don’t know where it will be.”
“What is it?”
“An offering that could have been used for a curse.”
“Is that a curse?”
Seri opened her eyes wide.
It was a very frightening word for her to hear.
“You mean the curse that the dreaded warlocks use?”
The perception of black magicians was as bad as ever.
They were always defined as an evil group that could destroy the world, and so was the magic they used.
“that’s right.”
Seri paused for a moment and thought.
‘There’s no way something so ominous could be in the Red Fort…’
But the person who said it was none other than Vincen.
Se-ri was always on Vinchen’s side even before Vinchen showed off his pride.
Even more so now.
“What kind is it by any chance?”
“There is a good chance that something like a small animal corpse is buried somewhere.”
If you try to hide it too grandly, it will show.
Therefore, there was a high probability that Kagon hid the offering by pretending to live a normal life.
– Or maybe they built a proper grave nearby.
If anyone finds it, it’s enough to say that they buried an animal that was killed pitifully.
“Maybe there is a little grave or something.”
Seri pondered for a moment before opening her mouth.
“Gongja. I think I can help.”
“A tax collector?”
“yes.”
She pondered a little more, then spoke with difficulty.
“Actually, I didn’t tell anyone because I thought I would be treated as a strange person.”
Seri seemed worried.
I’m afraid that even Vincen will look at the tax collector strangely.
“Seri. I trust you.”
“…”
Seri nodded once.
Vinchen’s words gave her great strength.
“I keep hearing strange voices lately.”
“A strange voice?”
“It sounds like chattering. keep talking to me I also talk about various things.”
“…”
“But I keep hearing the screams of a child asking for help.”
Seri shuddered.
“I still hear it.”
Vincent couldn’t say anything.
There was no sound in his ears.
Vinchen asked Yulian.
‘Is there such a case?’
-I do not know.
‘Well, it’s the first time I’ve heard of the magical body, so of course I don’t know about this phenomenon.’
-Are you ignoring me now?
‘I just told the truth.’
-That kind of thing happens very rarely! Spiritualists who naturally listen to the voices of the spirits. Or ghost magicians who open their ears and communicate with ghosts. You can find cases like that in them! But Seri is learning magic. A person who has mastered magic cannot become an elemental magician or a ghost magician! So I just said I didn’t know about this case. I didn’t say I didn’t know anything because I didn’t know anything! If I explained it, I would be scolded for saying only the conclusion anyway!
‘Then why did you say you don’t know?’
Julian benefits! and let out an angry sigh.
Vincent asked.
“Seri. Will you guide me to where I hear the screams?”
* * *
Vinchen left the dormitory with the tax collector.
It was a flower bed near a small gymnasium, not far from the dormitory.
It was a place where unknown flowers were blooming, but when I looked closely, there were traces of digging in one place.
Seri’s body trembled.
“I hear… a voice.”
It was not a human voice.
It was like the scream of a being.
“I keep begging for help. They say they don’t want to die.”
Tears flowed from her eyes against her will.
Seri’s magic began to run wild.
“Hehehehehe…!”
Seri cried for a long time.
He said he had seen something ominous that words could not describe.
“Sherry.”
Vinchen moved closer to the tax collector.
He lightly hugged the crying Seri.
“are you okay. You don’t have to be too afraid.”
Seri’s body was trembling.
Seeing that she was greatly frightened, I patted her on the shoulder, and Se-ri’s trembling gradually subsided.
“For now, the tax collector is waiting here.”
Vincen entered the flower bed.
He began digging the soil carefully with his bare hands.
‘I don’t know exactly…’
The flow of mana is strange.
It seemed that something like a small barrier had formed.
‘Is this… a magic stone?’
I saw a magic crystal containing mana.
It was planted artificially by someone.
‘It seems to form a special barrier.’
-that’s right. It’s like some kind of sealing ceremony.
It sounded like something was being locked up.
I dug a little more.
Nothing was visible.
‘There is nothing.’
But then the tax collector came closer.
“Confucius.”
“huh?”
Seri was crying again.
Tears flowed out.
She knelt down and sat down.
He reached out cautiously toward the soil and picked up something.
Vinchen was puzzled, but only watched the tax collector.
‘what?’
Seri was holding something carefully.
Something gradually began to appear in Seri’s hand.
It looked like a little baby mole.
-It’s a spirit!
Ordinary people cannot see spirits.
The only visible spirits are usually those contracted with the elemental magician.
-Why can’t I see that spirit?
The spirit’s body flickered like a baby mole.
It seemed like it was on the verge of extinction.
In terms of life form, it was a weakly breathed form.
‘Did you use the spirit… as a medium for the curse?’
It seemed that the chain type was used using spirits.
‘Deliberately keeping it from being destroyed.’
It was a very cruel method.
Even at a glance, the spirit was suffering greatly.
‘The method of curse has also evolved.’
There was no such curse 500 years ago.
At that time, he killed the sacrifice on the spot and activated the curse.
But now, it seemed that the ‘predestined death’ offering and also the ‘spirit’ were used to release the curse spell.
The spirit in Seri’s hand made a cry, and Vincen’s ears began to hear it as well.
I could tell by hearing the sound.
‘It’s terrible.’
She seemed to understand why Se-ri was crying so much.
The spirit’s cries were devastating.
‘The first chain type pattern is engraved on the back.’
It was like the pattern engraved on Selvira’s hand.
It must have been Kagon’s fault.
‘All I can do… is to send them away comfortably.’
In order to remove the curse, the sacrifice must be burned.
Since it is a spirit, it should be extinguished rather than burned.
In fact, it should have been destroyed long ago.
The ‘First Chain Ceremony’ was forcibly holding back even life.
All Vinchen could do was send her comfortably.
When I made up my mind, something strange happened.
“Don’t be distressed. I will help you. I will rescue you.”
A few drops of Cersei’s tears landed on the baby mole.
The mana that composes the chain ceremony began to shake.
A large spirit gate was created under Seri’s feet.
-That spirit contract?!
A power different from mana.
Spiritual power, which humans cannot handle on their own and can only be used by borrowing the power of spirits, began to fill up from the ground.
Seri cautiously kissed the spirit’s back.
‘Chain ceremony… is disappearing.’
I didn’t kill the sacrifice.
The chain expression is gone.
The spirit, who was suffering, regained health before he knew it.
jump!
Is the spirit that jumped to the ground beep? beep? Beep! I made a sound, but it seemed that I was saying thank you to the tax collector.
Seri seemed to understand everything.
“Yes, go back to the spirit realm and get some rest before you come back.”
The tax collector waved his hand, and the mole nodded and disappeared into the ground.
Vincen, who stared at the scene, stood up from his seat and said.
“Seri. Don’t tell anyone what happened today.”
“If it happened today…”
“The fact that you made a contract with the spirit.”
Se-ri is learning magic from Lord Vargon.
Those who learn magic cannot make contracts with spirits.
“You have created a miracle now. Even if I search the entire continent, there will be no one like you.”
A magical body that accepts mana by itself.
A rare case of mastering magic and progressing to a contract with a spirit.
If this secret spreads to the world, there will be an enormous number of forces curious about Se-ri’s body.
‘I don’t have the strength to protect the miracle that happened to you yet.’
Seri didn’t ask Coach Coach.
“all right. I’ll do that. But should I keep it a secret from Master?”
“for now.”
“all right.”
Vinchen reached out to the tax collector and helped the tax collector to his feet.
Se-Ri’s eyes were still red from the bout of crying earlier.
she laughed.
“Then, would I have been helpful to Confucius today?”
* * *
After returning the publican, Vinchen looked around the flower bed a little more.
‘Can Kagon handle spirits?’
The one who opened the ‘first chain ceremony’ must have been Kagon.
However, it was unknown whether he dealt with the spirit himself.
– Nothing known externally. In the first place, there is no elemental magician from Samion.
It was strange.
Seeing or touching non-contracted spirits was close to impossible, because Kagon even used curses with spirits.
‘It smells very stinky.’
I looked around a bit more, but still couldn’t figure out exactly what was going on.
But then a voice came from behind.
“What are you doing here?”
It was Kagon.
“I keep hearing strange screams.”
“A scream?”
Kagon tilted his head.
“Looks like you’re overexcited because of the 2nd gate.”
Kagon shrugged.
There was no sign of surprise or bewilderment on his face.
Kagon continued.
“Vinchen. It may not have been your intention, but you ruined my work.”
“Nail?”
Kagon did not hide much.
“This is where the sacrifices I used to use Samion’s orthodox technique were buried.”
“…”
Vinchen was speechless for a moment.
I didn’t know that I would confess myself.
“It’s the first time I’ve heard that Samion’s orthodox technique requires a sacrifice.”
“Because it’s like a family law. It’s not strictly a secret, but I don’t even bother bragging about it.”
“What kind of orthodox technique requires a sacrifice?”
“It was punished.”
“punishment?”
“There is such a thing as being born with a person.”
Kagon’s eyes contained a subtle affection.
Vincen could understand why.
Cagon seemed to consider Vinchen himself a ‘kindergarten’.
“There are people like you and me who were born with heavy fortunes and outstanding personalities, while there are others who are not.”
“…”
“As you know, we and them are divided into domination and subjugation. Proper discipline requires appropriate discipline, right?”
Selvira didn’t listen to Kagon.
I ‘ordered’ to follow from a distance and admire it, but I dared to move.
As a result, it was true that it was in favor of Kagon, but it was also true that he did not follow Kagon’s words.
“So I had to punish.”
Kagon chuckled.
“You understand better than anyone what I mean, right?”
