The Standard of Reincarnation Episode 67
Maria stood upright and took a posture of attention.
“I was rude. I apologize.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay if you don’t apologize.”
“But…”
“It’s really good.”
Only then did Maria loosen up all her strength.
“What kind of relationship are you with Prince Vincen?”
“Confucius Vincen is a friend who taught me a lot.”
“You taught priest Doolan?!”
Prince Vincen is only fourteen now!
Maria almost screamed like that.
What kind of 14-year-old in the world would teach Gaia’s second-class priest?
“What did Confucius Vincenzo teach?”
Then
a voice came from behind.
“I didn’t teach you anything else.”
It was Vincent.
Maria’s eyes sparkled.
‘The scoop is rolling in!’
The friendship that transcends age between Vincen and Doolan.
Countless scenarios played out in Maria’s head.
“Priest Dulan, it’s been a while.”
“Iknow, right. Long time no see, Confucius.”
Vinchen took out Doolan’s nameplate from his bosom and held it up.
“Thank you so much. Thanks to this, I was able to receive numerous treatments at no cost and was able to fully restore my friend Shijian’s arm.”
“Compared to the help Prince Vincen gave me, it is insignificant.”
Maria enthusiastically recorded their conversation on a notepad.
Her hands were very busy, but she did not force them to squeeze between Vincen and Doolan.
“ah. I heard about it. I’m glad your friend is recovering well.”
Vinchen bowed deeply once again.
“Thank you sincerely.”
“Then you should thank me a little more.”
“yes?”
“Because I want to give you something new.”
He pulled out another wooden nameplate from his bosom.
“I will take that nameplate and give you this nameplate. You should be a little more grateful. ha ha ha!”
Maria fixed her glasses.
‘Could that be the nameplate of a second-class priest? It’s even golden letters, isn’t it?’
This was not something that was open to the public.
Starting with the 2nd-class priests, the color of the name was slightly different.
‘There was information that the golden color was used to honor the highest priest.’
A nameplate engraved with the name of ‘Second Class Priest Doolan’ in golden letters.
handed it over
Maria, who was measuring the timing, asked cautiously.
“Can I cover this in an article?”
Maria’s heart pounded at the sight of the scoop.

After the interview with Maria, Doolan and Vincen were left alone.
Vincent asked.
“Why are you giving me this gift?”
“Because Prince Vincenca will become an upright Adenca.”
“How sure are you of that?”
In fact, Vincen was also curious.
It was a little strange that Doolan showed such favor because he had shown a good side of himself in the past.
“I am one of the priests who inherited the power of the Holy King.”
“The power of the Holy King?”
King Seong.
He was the hero who built the Gaia Temple 500 years ago and was chosen by the Goddess Gaia.
In the Gaia Temple, it was also believed that the Holy King became a god.
“It is the power to recognize people. It’s hard to say specifically, but I think it can be seen as similar to the discerning characteristics of warriors.”
After saying that, Doolan continued to speak inwardly.
‘I see it. Brilliant air currents are leaking from the body of Confucius Vincenzo. To be sure, I’ve never seen such a bright aura.’
I couldn’t figure out why this kind of energy could be seen in Vinchen.
‘I’ll find out with time.’
Doolan chuckled.
Vinchen nodded without further questioning.
In any case, it seemed clear that Doolan was very fond of him.
After a while, Vincen opened his mouth.
“Can I ask you one favor without shame?”
“Since you have the nameplate of a second-class priest, you can ask for anything.”
Vinchen was not used to asking for help.
Back in the day as a one-armed Daven, I did most things on my own back then.
Talking to someone for help was quite an ordeal for Vincen.
‘I still have to tell you.’
‘Cause I’m not alone anymore
You cannot overcome Samion alone.
‘I have to restore Yulian’s divine power.’
The psychic link has weakened quite a bit.
Perhaps it was because Yulian’s divine power was considerably depleted.
Even now, he couldn’t feel Yulian, but in terms of people, he was in a state of sleep.
“I saw a record saying that there is a way for non-priests to obtain divine energy. Is it true?”
“…”
Doolan was silent for a moment.
Ordinary people call the power of God ‘divine power’.
The word god is not a good word to use.
“Does Confucius want to acquire a divine spirit?”
“yes.”
“Why?”
“Because my body is a body that needs Shingi. The other day, I received help from the priests dispatched to the Red Fort. At that time, I felt like my body was recovering a lot. Although it was temporary.”
After that time, I felt that Yulian’s spirit was recovering a little.
After that, the divine energy faded again, but the important thing was the fact that the divine energy could be filled from the outside itself.
“You’re saying that you want to get a special divine power, not divine power for injury recovery.”
Doolan stroked his chin.
There was a record that even a human can obtain divine powers by finding the ‘Holy Grail’ that exists somewhere in the ‘Tomb of the Holy King’ and drinking the ‘Holy Water’ contained in it.
“Where did you see the record?”
“I saw it in the 3rd level library.”
“You seem to be reading the book intently.”
Soldiers are usually not very interested in history or old records.
Because all they care about is martial arts.
In fact, there was nothing secret about the tomb of the king and the Holy Grail, but most of the soldiers did not know about it.
“Did you also say that there was only one person in 500 years who obtained Shinki through that method?”
“yes. There is a record that the first head of our family acquired the Holy Grail.”
“I’m sure you know that there are far more people who think it’s a far-fetched legend now.”
Doolan thought for a moment, then spoke slowly.
“The only person who discovered the true nature of the Holy Grail is the Sunsword. That would mean that the odds of finding the Holy Grail in the future are slim.”
It was discovered by Aslan and he documented it.
However, none of the later generations have found the Holy Grail.
Vinchen confirmed once again.
“Isn’t it a word that is not usually used often?”
“That’s right.”
“Was it like that 500 years ago?”
“Even in records from 500 years ago, the word divine power was used much more than the word divine power. From the records, it seems that there were not many cases where ‘Shinki’ appeared.”
That meant that he deliberately used the word ‘new’.
to tell someone.
“What kind of person was Seongwang?”
“Unfortunately, no detailed records remain.”
“Are you the hero who created the Gaia Temple?”
“King Seong was martyred during the great war against the great devil, Daven. Since then, the power of the Temple of Gaia has weakened and the followers of the Great Devil have burned numerous records. Just as the Gaia Temple took the lead in subjugating the Great Demon, its followers hated the Gaia Temple extremely.”
Doula thought for a long time.
‘Every time I give you information…’
The light leaking from Vinchen’s body grew thicker.
King Seong.
Aslan.
Holy Grail.
amazing.
Every time these words came out, it felt like Vincen’s soul was shining.
I checked several times, but it was never a coincidence.
‘Then…’
The temple was keeping a lot of unknown records in the world.
“It is written that only those who have experienced death and met God will be able to find the Holy Grail.”
After saying that, Doolan almost closed his eyes.
It felt like a brilliant light was pouring from Vincen’s body.
“I have a hunch that it may be inevitable that Prince Vincen and I are talking about this.”
Vincen did not have a hunch, but a conviction.
‘It was obviously left with me in mind.’
those who have experienced death.
who met God.
It was clear what he was referring to.
Records have been handed down over 500 years.
“Can I go there too?”
“You can enter with just a letter of recommendation from the denomination.”
During that time, many people entered.
But no one came out.
“Then can I get a letter of recommendation too?”
Vincent’s eyes deepened.
‘I must find out.’
What Aslan left behind.
Why did you arrange the ‘Seongwang’s Tomb’?
‘What did you see 500 years ago?’
* * *
That night.
A familiar voice came.
“Confucius!”
“Sherry?”
The tax collector ran into Vincen’s room.
“Confucius, I always prepared dinner for you.”
A basket was held in her right hand.
It was full of homemade sandwiches.
“Master gave me a special preservation magic.”
“You came to deliver this?”
“yes.”
Seri smiled broadly.
“Come on, try it. This time, I added homemade raspberry jam. It is made with special raspberries that only grow in Beryl Mountain.”
“…”
Seri was genuinely happy to see Vinchen eat the sandwich.
When Vinchen finished eating, Seri smiled brightly again.
“I feel relieved now.”
“…”
Vinchen was still not used to this love.
It was by no means an easy place for Seri to come from the Red Fort to this place by herself.
Putting aside the fact that I had to ride the transfer gateway several times, even if I moved as quickly as possible with the shortest/minimum distance, it would take 48 hours for a round trip.
“Are you saying that Adencar came to find me just to give you this?”
“Barely! I feel sad when you say that.”
Se-ri pursed her lips slightly, as if feeling sad.
Vincen was embarrassed and scratched the back of his head.
“Sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you.”
“For me, this is happiness.”
It took 48 hours to come and give me a sandwich.
He said he would be back in 30 minutes.
“I will go back. I want to stay a little longer, but I have an appointment with Master.”
“…”
“Ah, look at my mind. Sir Merlin asked me to deliver this.”
Seri took out a small stone from her bosom.
“A magic stone?”
“yes. It is a stone that brings good luck. It’s a general-purpose magic crystal, but now I made it into an amulet stone.”
The general-purpose magic crystal was a multi-purpose magic stone that could be used for various purposes by infusing mana.
It didn’t have the same outstanding efficacy as the exclusive magic crystal, but it had good versatility.
“I will show you!”
Seri blew mana into the magic crystal as if she were bragging.
It seemed that he was learning well from Lord Vargon.
“It shines like this. Isn’t it pretty?”
“It is pretty.”
“Do you like it?”
“Yeah thanks.”
Rather than saying that the magic stone was pretty, I liked Se-ri’s smiling face while holding the magic stone.
“Then let’s go! Until the next time we meet, stay healthy! Make sure to eat well too!”
“Yes, tax collector, take care of yourself.”
Vinchen stared blankly at the tax collector who was walking away.
In Vinchen’s hand was the basket that the tax collector had squeezed tightly.
‘Running that distance to spend only 30 minutes together.’
It was difficult to understand for Vinchen, who had never been loved.
I can’t understand it, but a corner of my heart is filled with emotions that are difficult to express in words.
After Seri passed away, Vincen looked for Versa.
“I have something to tell you.”
Words that were difficult to understand from Versailles’ point of view began to follow.
