Episode 99, the essence of reincarnation,
Vinchen continued.
“Samion’s successor and Samion’s family head expressed their intention to attend. The reason they attend is to observe me.”
“You think of yourself quite highly.”
“Because there is no reason other than me.”
Gaponso nodded.
“okay. Keep talking.”
“If the head of Samion sits down to see Adenka’s successor, wouldn’t it be difficult for the head of Adenka to stay still?”
“That is correct.”
He too could understand.
Now, the protagonist of the Hades meeting was not Hellaim.
It was because Samion and Adenka gathered together.
“The son-in-law is coming. Is that right, Versa?”
Versa nodded.
“I was just about to tell you.”
Versa took out a letter from her bosom and held it.
On the surface, it was a letter asking for the well-being of his father-in-law, Gaponso, but in reality, it was nothing more than a notice that he would also join the Hydes meeting.
Gaponso glared at the letter.
There was a lot of strength in the hand holding the letter.
‘They didn’t even reply to my invitation before.’
At this moment, Gafonso couldn’t hide his anger.
Versa looked not at Gaponso, but at Vincen.
The reason she didn’t take out the letter as soon as she came here was to test how far Vinchen knew.
‘As expected.’
Through a series of circumstances, it seemed that they had even guessed that Gaju Khan would attend.
Vincen said again.
“Then Samion and Adenka are together at the Hydes meeting. Congratulations Sir Gaponso.”
“…Thank you.”
Gaponso soon regained his composure.
“It is beyond joy to have the heads of two of the world’s top three shaman families join us.”
“Two mugs?”
Vinchen tilted her head as if she really didn’t know.
“I am convinced that all three of the world’s greatest shamans will gather in one place.”
“…”
Gaponso did not understand Vincen’s words properly.
But outwardly, he didn’t show it.
“You mean you’re coming to the Bartican?”
“You don’t seem to know my relationship with Raven yet. I think it’s possible since he’s not a leisurely person enough to care about his children’s relationships.”
Raven’s original target was Kagon.
It’s not Kagon now, it’s Vinchen.
Raven’s past goals and current goals come together.
If so, he must have been impatient to come here.
“Raven will definitely want to come here. Lord Ponsiano, Lord of the Vatican, loves Raven dearly. He too will come with Raven.”
“You mean the world’s top three samurai are attending the Hydes meeting?”
Gaponso seems relaxed hahaha! burst out laughing
However, cold sweat ran down his back.
It was because Vinchen was not wrong.
‘A letter from the Vatican will arrive soon.’
That night.
In fact, the Vatican has also expressed its intention to attend.
The Hydes meeting, which was a fairly large scale event in the southern part of the continent, has now become a huge event attracting worldwide attention.
Gafonso called Sarina to his room and told her privately.
“Have a thorough inspection of the basement, and let the butler manage and monitor Vinchen himself.”
Gaponso had said to Sarina:
-It’s a pity to use the manpower of a butler on that little guy.
However, after a few days, I changed my mind.
“The butler must do it himself.”
“All right.”
“We need to make sure we find out what he’s up to.”
“yes. I am not taking any action other than attracting influential people from around the world, but I will try to figure it out thoroughly.”
“How about the Citizen Revolutionary Corps?”
“We have arrested and detained several officers. Recently, it is detected that outcasts from Mailtium have been coaxed into the Citizen Revolutionary Corps, but it is not a level to worry about.”
“What about Laurent and him?”
“It is currently in a state of concealment.”
“My back hurts. The key is what he is plotting with Vinchen.”
He seemed to think of Vinchen too easily.
The one who was on the defensive throughout the conversation with Vinchen was himself.
And that, of course, in front of his daughter, Versa.
He didn’t want to appear like that in front of Versailles.
“It’s a Hydes meeting soon. Try to devise a way to kill him in Hill Capture Battle. In a clean and legal way.”
* * *
Two days before the Hydes meeting.
Just then, a letter from Selvira arrived.
It was a letter sent after researching the historical characteristics of Hellaim and Dersona in its own way.
[…And it is said that there is a memorial hall commemorating the great artist Francis Aylom, who left a huge mark on the history of modern and contemporary art
.
At that time,
a person came to Vinchen’s accommodation.
“It’s been a while, Vincen.”
A red haired boy.
The boy’s name was Kagon.
Vincen looked at Cagon.
‘I can feel the red yellowish power, but I can’t see it.’
It was similar to the power that Elder Tiloban had shown.
Red yellow rice with no visible form.
Tilovan’s was fake, but Cagon’s was real.
‘It’s naturally risen to the level of wearing red yellow rice.’
Vincent stood up from his seat.
“Long time no see.”
The two shook hands.
The moment their hands met, Vincen almost frowned.
-What’s wrong?
‘It’s strange, because I’m used to it.’
The time I actually met Kagon wasn’t that long.
Nevertheless, Kagon was too used to it.
The energy felt from Kagon, who wore red yellow rice power, was very similar to Kazin, who is called the King of Heroes.
His stabbed heart ached.
‘Shit.’
This strange sense of incongruity felt whenever he met Kagon made Vincen feel bad.
but did not express it.
Kagon asked.
“Did you make the plate big on purpose? Or is it a coincidence?”
“I am just doing my best in my duties.”
“You mean your duties as a cadet?”
“okay.”
Kagon sat down.
Se-ri served hot black tea, and Kagon’s gaze reached Se-ri.
Seri’s body trembled.
“You have an interesting lady-in-waiting.”
“what?”
“never mind. It’s just that I’m curious that someone who has mastered magic is acting as a handmaid.”
“…”
Kagon lowered his voice.
“Why does the magician smell of spirits?”
“I guess that’s none of your business.”
“There is a little special corner.”
“Would it be more special than your current appearance breathing with the intangible red yellow rice all over your body?”
“…”
“The elder of Adenka was learning fake red yellow rice. That’s a very special thing, what do you think?”
“…”
Kagon’s body flinched.
Intangible red yellow rice.
This was the aura of a realm officially unknown to the world.
Kargon shrugged and let out a sigh.
“I was beaten twice.”
Kagon raised the teacup.
“thank you. I will drink well.”
“Have a good time.”
Seri bowed her back and left the room.
Kagon said after taking a sip of black tea.
“Your mission is to help the Citizen Revolutionary Corps?”
“Why do you think so?”
“It’s okay if you put all the circumstances together. Mrs. Versailles No, it’s suspicious that Versa Helaim came here. As you know, he doesn’t set foot in the city of Hellaim for quite a while.”
“That’s a pretty plausible reasoning.”
Kagon’s eyes narrowed.
“Yeah. After all, Vincent is great. Not blinking an eye is very like a fool.”
As Vinchen said, Cagon was operating the red yellow rice power.
This invisible power of red yellow rice gives the opponent an invisible sense of pressure.
For some, it can be stressful.
However, Vinchen was not affected by the red yellow rice power at all.
“It’s such a strange feeling. I’m definitely higher in achievement, but strangely, I’m not sure I’ll win if I fight with you.”
“What do you want to say?”
“That means I perceive you as a competitor. So, I’m trying to figure out what action I should take. Will you listen to me?”
Kagon smiled and continued.
“You mean I’m seriously thinking about whether or not I should interrupt you.”
“Why are you worrying about that?”
“I told you. I consider you a competitor. There are two ways for me to rise. One is to stand tall on my own, and the other is to topple my competitors. You know which one is easier?”
It is easier for me to drop others than to rise high.
Vincent answered.
“You wouldn’t choose the easy way.”
“huh? Why do you think so?”
“You figured out a lot about me.”
The fact that Vinchen opened the plate this big.
The fact that Vinchen’s mission is to help the Citizen Revolutionary Corps.
So, the fact that Vincen and the Citizen Revolutionary Corps are aiming for something.
The fact that Seri is both a magician and an elementalist at the same time.
The fact that Vinchen is feeling red and yellow.
Clearly, Cagon knew a lot about Vincen.
But the reverse was also true.
“That goes for me too. The you I know would never disturb me.”
“If I interfere this time, I could send you into hell?”
It became a meeting with the world’s three major shamans.
What if Vinchen is defeated by the dragon sword crew?
What if the Red Fort’s mission doesn’t succeed?
It will be a huge stain on Kagon.
“My position is too low to fall into the abyss yet.”
“hmm?”
“Anyone I know would lift me higher. I will wait for the right time.”
“why? Because we are bona fide competitors?”
“no.”
Vinchen is well aware of the man with that eye and that aura.
Everything I feel for Kagon is the same as for Kazin.
“Because it would be more fun to fall from a higher place. If it’s you I know, I don’t think you’d give up that pleasure.”
Kagon laughed out loud.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
He liked Vincen’s answer very much.
Kagon stood up from his seat.
“Vinchen. Good luck.”
he turned and walked
“See you again, friend.”
* * *
The day of Hyde’s meeting has dawned.
Hydes meeting where various events are held to show off the power of Hellaim and celebrate the 200th anniversary.
More people than expected headed to Dersona to participate in the Hydes meeting.
Gaponso, the head of Hellaim, recited an opening speech to the distinguished guests.
“…I did. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the distinguished guests and declare the beginning of the Hydes meeting.”
The Hydes meeting takes place at the same time as several events.
There were two events that could be called the highlight of the Hydes meeting.
One was a social party and the other was a sword fight.
However, the plan did not come true as Helaim intended.
“Oh, I will start soon. Let’s go quickly.”
“Chief Reporter Maria. Shouldn’t we go for sword fighting?”
“What are you talking about? Of course, we should go for the highland occupation battle!”
A social party where you can show off your political power.
A sword fight in which one can show off one’s might.
Those two things got out of people’s attention.
The place where people’s attention was focused was Falun Mountain in Dersona, where the ‘Highland Occupation Battle’ was taking place.
On the way to Mount Falun, Maria checked several things over and over again.
“Other members of the samurai abstained.”
In the end, there were only two people who officially participated in the occupation of the high ground.
“One is Yuri, a member of the dragon sword crew, and the other is a cadet Vincen Adenka. It will be fun.”
Arrived at Falun Mountain.
There was also a place for news reporters, and a large magically created news board was floating in the air.
“hmm? chief reporter. Look over there.”
The assistant pointed to the news board.
In the magic video floating in the air, the participants in the occupation of the hill were recorded.
“Aren’t there two of you?”
There was another one.
Maria opened her mouth wide.
“Kagon Samion? Prince Cagon took part in the occupation of the highland? so suddenly?”
same time.
Gaponso, the head of Hellaim, was sitting in the VIP seat at the gladiator arena.
My body was here, but my mind was focused on Mount Falun.
he murmured.
“If you’ve been making variables, I should have made them too. Isn’t that right, butler?”
