Standard of Reincarnation Chapter 45

The Standard of Reincarnation Episode 45

A mana brand with a chain pattern surrounding the sword.

It was one of the sealing techniques that Daven underwent when he was bound in the dungeon.

It was a curse spell from the Samion family that dulled one’s talent and sense for the sword.

500 years ago, it was called ‘the first chain ceremony’.

‘Why is this… … .’

As the saying goes, it was ‘chain style’, but it was a curse.

Daven also didn’t know that this type of magic existed in Samion until just before he was trapped in the dungeon.

Even back then, I was curious.

These curses are usually made through the heart.

To inflict a curse, one or more lives are sacrificed.

Whether it was an animal, a monster, or a human.

‘The one that works best is the human heart.’

The closer the sacrifice is to a person, the greater the effect the curse has.

Usually, warlocks researched and developed these curses, but Samion was also the family that took the lead in punishing warlocks.

So, it was something that Daven couldn’t understand.

‘It doesn’t look like a human heart was used.’

Since Daven had experienced the curse himself, he had a general idea.

It didn’t seem like there was a very complicated technique involved.

Selvira was slightly embarrassed as her wrist was caught without knowing the situation.

“Why, what’s wrong?”

“When I was under the podium. “What happened with Kagon?”

“What happened?”

Selvira felt that Vincen’s expression was somehow unusual.

“Oh, nothing happened.”

“Something like physical contact.”

“Physical contact… … ?”

Vincen’s voice calmed down.

“Was there or wasn’t it?”

“There was nothing like that. “He just shook my hand normally.”

Vincen didn’t let go of Selvira’s hand.

I continued to glare at Selvira’s palm.

I was fortunate that it was just one line.

The more strings there are, and the more complicated they are, the more difficult it is to unlock them.

“Why on earth are you doing this?”

“Every day at 6 am. “Can you give me a moment before I leave for my personal training?”

“… … why?”

“I think I should take a look.”

With Vincen’s current abilities, it was not possible to unlock it all at once.

Little by little, the sealing technique must be lifted.

“Me, me?”

“okay.”

Selvira’s face turned a little red.

“okay. So you’re saying we’ll meet at 6 a.m. every day? Since when?”

“Tomorrow, immediately.”

“My, right away tomorrow?”

I think tomorrow will be a bit difficult… … Selvira was about to say this, but quickly closed her mouth.

Vincen’s expression was so serious that it was difficult to say no.

“okay. “Then meet me tomorrow at 6 a.m.”

Only then did Vincen let go of Selvira’s wrist.

Selvira lowered her hand and looked at Vincen with a bewildered expression.

Vincen sighed briefly.

‘Kagon you bastard.’

Given the circumstances, it seemed correct that Kagon used the chain method.

‘But why?’

I couldn’t figure out why.

But whatever the reason, Kagon placed a curse on Selvira.

The fact was more important than the reason.

‘You did something dirty.’

Vincen thought for a moment whether to tell him about the curse.

-It would be better to keep quiet about the curse. If you start with the question of whether there is evidence and start digging into how you knew, you will get very tired. If you do not present appropriate evidence, you may be attacked in reverse.

I decided not to mention anything about the curse.

* * *

Vincen entered the private training room and sat cross-legged.

I took a moment to catch my breath before starting the meditation practice in earnest.

‘We can’t argue right now.’

It’s just as Julian said.

There is no evidence to prove Kagon’s atrocities.

asked Julian.

‘If Kagon did something like this, he must have been confident that he wouldn’t be caught, right?’

-omg? Brother, you are thinking too.

Julian was a little surprised.

I was anxious because I felt like I would go to Kagon and discuss right and wrong at any moment.

However, Vincen’s reaction was much calmer than expected.

‘The warriors of this era are different from before. I didn’t feel Seri’s mana, and I probably won’t feel anything related to the curse either.’

The warriors of this era could not feel Seri’s mana.

Not only that, I didn’t know Vincen’s own mana properly.

‘Image theory’ has made remarkable progress, but we are more ignorant than before about things that deviate from the theory of imagery.

-I decided that way too. He must have been confident that he wouldn’t be discovered by Sir Herka, Lord Vargon, or even Sir Alberto, the magic tower wizard. But is that really a curse? How did you know that?

Vincen tilted his head for a moment.

I thought Julian had read all of my thoughts, but that didn’t seem to be the case.

‘Aren’t you reading my every thought?’

In fact, Vincen was thinking that he might have a vague idea of ​​his identity as a one-armed Daven.

I thought they were just silently talking to each other.

-I can’t read everything. Some are obscured in a haze. Even if I try to listen, I can’t hear it, and if I try to look, I can’t see it.

‘why?’

-Is it because your synchronization rate is not high enough to reveal and see what you want to hide? It’s not like you can read all my thoughts in detail.

That was correct.

Vincen could only read Julian’s great emotions and thoughts, but he could not read everything.

– Anyway, that’s it. Are you sure it’s a curse?

‘okay.’

-You’re not going to tell me how you knew?

‘I’ll teach you when the time comes.’

-Well, I don’t mind if my brother was a warlock who could fly and crawl back in the day.

That much was sincere.

Because Vincen always showed the best beyond what Julian had designed.

Because every moment with Vincen was what Julian longed for.

Vincen shook off distracting thoughts and began to focus on meditation.

And a day passed.

Selvira was in front of the private training room at the appointed time.

“Vincen.”

“… … .”

Vincenne was a little puzzled.

“… … you.”

Selvira was very different from usual.

Her long hair, which she always tied tightly while training, was loose.

Unlike usual, my hair felt curly and abundant.

Moreover, unlike when she was training, she was wearing a light white dress.

Although it was not as formal as the dresses worn at social gatherings, it was definitely an uncomfortable outfit for training.

“The training outfit is very strange.”

“… … .”

Selvira’s face turned a little red.

‘What was I thinking?’

He coughed loudly and avoided Vincen’s gaze.

“Sometimes I train like this to change my mood.”

“… … why?”

“Because enemies are bound to appear even in situations where clothes are uncomfortable.”

Only then did Vincen understand and nodded.

Even at social parties, assassins can appear.

“I respect your training methods.”

In any case, the important thing was not the clothing, but the chain ceremony.

First of all, I needed to know more about this chain ceremony.

Vincen said:

“I will stand guard, but you, while you rotate your magic, pay attention to see if there are any areas where the flow is particularly affected.”

“why?”

In fact, Vincen was at a loss for words to answer.

I looked around roughly.

“I somehow feel like I can help.”

“Um, I understand.”

Selvira started meditating without any doubts.

Vincen observed Selvira intently with unmanned eyes.

After some time passed, Selvira opened her eyes.

“I finished it once.”

“What’s strange?”

“I’m not sure? There has to be something strange?”

I couldn’t find any point where the flow was strange.

This was also a shortcoming of imagery theory.

Imagery theory is a very efficient and safe method.

Even if there are some problems or errors, if you follow the formula, the magic rotation will proceed without any problems.

From the caster’s perspective, they are not even aware of minor problems.

‘I’m naturally bound to feel that the flow is frustrating somewhere.’

However, it was impossible to ask someone to perform a magic rotation without using imagery.

“Shall we try a few more times?”

“okay.”

Selvira did as Vincen asked without saying anything.

After meditating again several times, Vincen said.

“It would be a good idea to hold hands and meditate.”

First of all, the place where the curse ritual is engraved is on the palm.

The way the curse was delivered was through ‘physical contact.’

Vincen tried to feel the traces of the curse, in the same way the curse was imposed.

“So, this is the first time I’ve heard of people holding hands and meditating together.”

“It’s a pretty common method.”

“Yeah, really?”

Observing and assisting with the flow of magical energy through physical contact.

It was a common method 500 years ago.

This is what a teacher usually did to his disciple.

Although it is a method that has disappeared now that imagery theory has been developed.

“okay.”

“Oh, I understand.”

Selvira suddenly gave up her hand.

I started meditating while holding hands with Vincenne, but I couldn’t concentrate at all.

Vincen’s words were heard.

“Focus on the magic flow.”

“… … .”

“There’s too much magic power.”

That was right.

Selvira’s nerves were all focused on her clasped hands.

I couldn’t concentrate on meditation at all.

The strength of the magical power was not constant and fluctuated wildly, so there was no proper flow.

‘It would have been dangerous if it wasn’t for imagery theory.’

The way modern warriors handle mana was too dangerous in the eyes of old warriors.

Mana that comes and goes like this according to the heartbeat.

From Vincen’s perspective, it was so unfamiliar that it was terrifying.

Honestly, I didn’t know it would be this bad.

‘This is the only way I can find the chain point.’

I decided to end my training that day there.

With Vincen’s current abilities, he was unable to release Selvira’s chains.

-older brother. Do you know that the second round of the friendly exchange meeting is in two days?

For Julian, Vincen’s prosperity took priority over Selvira’s safety.

The friendly exchange meeting that would be held in two days was much more important than the curse placed on Selvira.

‘know.’

– Wouldn’t it be better to focus more on friendly exchanges first?

‘The curse becomes stronger as time passes.’

3 days from when the curse was first placed.

That time is golden time.

If you miss the golden time, it becomes very difficult to lift the curse.

-Still. Friendly exchange meetings are more important to us.

‘Julian. I hope you realize what is more important.’

It wasn’t that Vincen didn’t understand Julian.

Because at one time, Daven lived only for a goal.

‘He who lives only for goals loses his people.’

If you lose someone, you lose everything.

If One-Armed Daven had had his people around him, he wouldn’t have died so helplessly.

Meanwhile,

Seri, who was having dinner with Vincen, secretly observed Vincen.

Although he was very busy learning magic from Vargon, he personally served him dinner.

That made Seri feel good too.

“Confucius, do you have any worries?”

“Rather than worry… … .”

She read Vincennes mind like a ghost.

“Please tell me. “Although I am not very good at anything, I can listen to Confucius’ concerns.”

Even she didn’t know.

What changes will today’s listening bring?
