The Standard of Reincarnation Episode 68
Versa confirmed again.
“I’ve been asking you to schedule a promotion test, but now you want to postpone it?”
“That’s right.”
“A letter has already been delivered to the general manager of the Red Fort, and a reply has arrived. Retrieving it is at the discretion of the fort commander.”
Versa slightly frowned.
“I made a request to the Red Fortress using external pressure.”
It was both a punishment for Versa herself for mismanaging Adenca and a compliment for Vincen.
But now, changing the words didn’t look very good.
“I thought you were aiming for heavenly fruits.”
The cloth is a treasure of the Red Fort that is still shrouded in a veil.
The people who directly obtained the celestial fruit were also silent about how they obtained it, so they did not know how to obtain it.
However, they had one thing in common.
Those who obtained the heavenly fruit were ‘the warriors who promoted the fastest’ and grew into the most outstanding warriors of the time.
“So I decided that you wanted the shortest period of promotion.”
“you’re right.”
“Then why are you asking me to postpone the promotion test?”
“I will explain it to Lord Herka myself.”
Versa frowned once again.
He seemed angry, but he wasn’t really in a bad mood.
‘It’s a savagery.’
It was because he knew why Vinchen would directly explain to the general manager, Herka.
-Returning it is at the discretion of the fort commander.
Versa herself said so.
Now everything is said to have passed to Herka.
Then it was right that Vincen explained to Herka, not Versa.
Versa immediately relaxed her expression.
‘He’s an interesting guy.’
Versa asked one thing.
“I heard that Herka has been busy with the monster subjugation recently. Do you know that?”
“of course. I have rarely seen him, except for official events.”
“You also know that in order to undo the correspondence between me and Herka, the fort commander must come and renew the seal, right?”
No matter how fast it takes 24 hours.
“Herka is a person who hates trouble.”
“I know that too. That is why he will definitely come.”
Versa laughed lightly.
“You are confident. Do you think you are that important to Herka?”
“Do you think Sir Herka won’t come, Mother?”
“Even if you want to come, you won’t be able to come. He is a man whose calling is to subdue monsters.”
Vincen looked at Versailles blankly before opening his mouth.
“Would you like to bet with me?”
“bet?”
Versa hahaha! I burst out laughing.
None of Adenca’s successor candidates offered a bet to him.
“What will you bet?”
“If you lose the bet, you will lose the trust of your mother. Then I have lost everything, so I have nothing else to stake.”
Versa nodded.
That’s right.
Vinchen himself proposed a bet to Versailles.
To propose a bet to the mistress of Adenca, it was only when he was certain of winning.
If I ever lost, I had to be prepared to lose everything.
“Then what do you want?”
“I hope your mother will forgive my rudeness.”
“Despite?”
“You asked why you asked for a postponement of the promotion test, but I didn’t answer.”
It was a novel way to ask for forgiveness for not saying the reason, while pointing out exactly what he said, “The general manager is Herka.”
“That is a very pleasant proposal.”
So I waited.
Twenty-four hours passed and Herka visited Adenka’s home.
* * *
The news came that Herka had passed through the south gate of Adenca.
I would have found this place in an hour at the most.
“You won.”
Versa laughed.
“I will forgive your rudeness.”
“thank you.”
“Why were you so sure Herka would come?”
“It’s because my mother came across Sir Herka through papers and I through my own eyes.”
Just looking at the papers, Herka is busy without blinking his eyes.
Every day, it leads by example and goes out to subdue dangerous monsters.
But Vincen knew.
In fact, Herka was not passionate about subjugating monsters, but rather did not want to handle the administration of the Red Fortress.
“A person who is so passionate about subjugating monsters wouldn’t have taken a vacation to eat seasonal whipped cream cake.”
“Seasonal whipped cream cake?”
Anyway, Vincen won the bet.
Soon there was a knocking sound.
“This is Herka.”
“Come in.”
When Herka entered, Versa pointed to the paper on the desk.
“You must have heard the circumstances before and after, and if you accept, you can sign it.”
“Yes, sister.”
“I am not the older sister of the fortress commander.”
Having said that, Versa moved her body and went outside.
Vincen laughed as if he was having fun.
“Vinchen. What’s so funny?”
Herka read the document in an insincere manner.
It was a document about postponing the promotion test.
“My mother said Sir Herka would not come.”
“Why is that funny?”
“Is Sir Herka hated by your mother?”
“I don’t know, I guess.”
Herka annoyedly signed the papers.
“ruler. okay?”
“There’s important information on the back page, aren’t you going to look at it?”
“Something roughly important.”
she grumbled to herself.
“Everyone lives a very complicated life when you can just say okay. Procedures and administration.”
Herka came closer to Vincen.
I took a closer look at Vinchen’s face.
“It is strange. Versailles really hates acting like you. Why do you think your sister likes you?”
“Does your mother like me?”
“If you didn’t like it, do you think that unni, who can’t find that flexibility, would have done this?”
Herka pulled Vinchen’s cheek and looked at it.
“Is it because you look cute? What is the secret?”
“Does Sir Herka want to please his mother?”
“ok. But I gave up half way. Even if you try for 20 years, it’s not possible. I like her, but she hates me.”
Vincen laughed again.
“I’ll let you know if I find out the reason later.”
“Okay, now what? ruler. There must be difficult words written in the document again while talking about formality or something?”
Vinchen shrugged his shoulders and tried to explain the details of the matter and the contents of the document.
“it’s okay. I can’t explain it. no don’t.”
“But…”
“What is that expression?”
Vincen and Herka’s eyes collided in the air.
Herka accurately read Vincen’s thoughts.
“hey. Do you think I ran away because I wanted to leave everything to our diligent Lord Vargon?”
“…wasn’t it?”
“do you want to die?”
“If the chief of the Red Fort kills a cadet, something very big will happen.”
“Grunt. Isn’t it normal for cadets to be a little scared of the fort commander?”
“Then won’t you be disappointed in me?”
“…”
Herka fell silent.
“The little crab speaks well. Anyway, I read the contents of the back page.”
Vincen was startled.
‘When did you see the back page?’
Vinchen couldn’t read Herka’s movements at all.
Herka stretched out with a big yawn.
“So, with the authority of the Red Fortress general manager, I intend to accept the request of Sir Doolan, the 2nd-class priest. Of course, you are the one carrying out the mission, Vincenzo.”
Vinchen didn’t ask Versailles to postpone the promotion test without thinking.
It was possible because there was a request from Doolan, a 2nd-class priest.
Doolan requested a close escort on the way to the Great War of Gaia.
He said that if you successfully escort him, he will write you a letter of recommendation so that you can enter the Tomb of the Holy King.
It was an official request from a second-class priest, so Vincen had enough justification.
“But you know? Are the second-class priests killed the most at this time?”
Now, the competition between the second-class priests begins.
The second-class priests belonging to the Gaia Temple are gathering at the Gaia Temple.
There were the most assassination attempts during this period.
“It’s too risky a mission for a 9th grade cadet to take on. Who is to blame if someone gets killed? Also, aren’t they going to tease me and harass me, saying that I gave such an important person a 9th grade cadet’s brat?”
“…what do you want to say?”
“I have no choice! I’ll have to follow that too. As a manager.”
“Lord Vargon will object.”
“Lord Vargon? why?”
“There’s a competition between the 2nd class cadets this coming winter, right?”
They are also promoted to the first class through contests and promotion tests.
It was customary for the general manager to be deeply involved in this process.
“Sir Vargon is very sincere. Hehe. He is a good friend even by himself.”
“…I think I can hear Lord Vargon banging his desk from here.”
“That’s why I planted a magic stone with anti-magic resistance property on my desk. That way I won’t break the desk and work harder.”
Herka stroked Vinchen’s hair.
“Well done anyway. amazing.”
“Is it my fault that the conversation lacks context?”
“I hear that often.”
Herka smiled and continued.
“That unlucky old man is cheap even if he dies.”
“I guess you really hated Tiloban.”
“uh. He wanted to make me his concubine. Because he looked at me and regained his appetite. Like a dirty old man.”
“okay.”
However, Vincen could barely feel it.
It seemed that Herka had a different reason for hating Tiloban.
“Why did you tell me that Tiloban and Elder Holliman were friends?”
“Did I teach you that? when?”
“….”
Vincen did not ask any more.
Herka did not comment further on this matter.
A day passed.
Doolan, who had finished investigating the black magic of the elder Tiloban, set the direction of the wagon to the ‘Great War of Gaia’ for the contest.
Versa personally came out and saw Doolan off.
“Is there a reason you pointed out Vinchen?”
“I inherited the power of the Holy King. I am confident in my ability to recognize people. Vinchen will be able to protect me enough.”
It takes about a week by carriage from the head house of Adenca to the Great Hall of Gaia.
In fact, there was no great danger as the roads were well paved and passed through safe cities.
“I feel as if I have deliberately asked for a nomination to write a letter of recommendation for Vincen.”
“That’s not entirely wrong either.”
A week has passed.
Fortunately, there was no assassination attempt.
Doolan entered the Great Hall safely and thanks to that, he was able to receive a letter of recommendation to enter the ‘Tomb of the Holy Kings’ within a day.
“It was just passing by. I was expecting an attack, but it’s a pity.”
“Because rumors spread that Sir Herka was together.”
“I guess thieves don’t have distribution these days.”
“Then are you returning to the Red Fort now?”
“It should be.”
Herka’s shoulders drooped.
It seemed that he didn’t want to come back at all.
“But the tomb of the King Seong. Are you on your way?”
Vinchen took out a map from within his arms.
“It turns quite a bit…”
I didn’t see Herka’s movements.
The map was shattered.
“Ego! I know the way well I will guide you.”
Herka led the way.
Looking at the back, Vincen was lost in thought.
‘Julian. What do you think?’
Julian’s answer was not heard.
The conversation he had with Yulian over the past week had been nothing more than a few words.
‘It doesn’t sound like he’s just playing around because he doesn’t like his job.’
It was a visceral sixth sense.
Herka seemed to have a reason to go to the Tomb of the Holy King.
‘If I notice this, shouldn’t you solve it by explaining it concretely and logically?’
Still no answer came.
Another two days passed.
We arrived at the tomb of the Holy King, which is being managed by paladins.
When I handed out the recommendation, I was able to move inside without difficulty.
Herka exclaimed, “Ohhh.”
“To build a tomb with such a reckless waste of labor.”
A stone entrance was visible.
That place was the ‘Tomb of the Holy King’ in the true sense.
A place where the Holy Grail and Holy Water are said to exist.
The entrance was very dark.
“But are you really going in?”
“I came here for that.”
“You know that there are people who entered but no one came out, right?”
“yes.”
“Okay, good. If it’s our cadets, there should be that much distribution. good bye Let’s show off the good looks of a 9th grade cadet in the Red Fortress.”
Vinchen walked toward the dark entrance without hesitation.
Herka looked at her back for a long time.
After Vinchen disappeared into the darkness, Herka spoke softly.
“Really, a child with the surname of Adenca entered the tomb of the Holy King. Now you do your job.”
