Standard of Reincarnation Chapter 46

The Standard of Reincarnation Episode 46

Vincen once again got a strange feeling from Seri.

A love that I have never experienced in my previous life.

This feeling was also quite precious to Vincennes.

“I’m just looking for something.”

If the curse could not be lifted directly, there was another way to unlock the spell.

The goal was to find and destroy the medium used in the ritual.

“I don’t know where it is.”

“What is that?”

“An offering that may have been used for a curse.”

“Uh, uh, curse?”

Seri opened her eyes wide.

It was a very scary word for her to hear.

“You mean that curse that scary warlocks use?”

The perception of warlocks has always been bad.

They were always defined as an evil group that could destroy the world, and so was the magic they used.

“that’s right.”

Seri closed her mouth for a moment and thought.

‘Well, there’s no way something sinister like that could be in the Red Fortress…’ … .’

However, the person who spoke was none other than Vincennes.

Seri was always on Vincen’s side even before Vincen showed his boastful side.

Even more so now.

“What kind might it be?”

“There is a high probability that something like the corpse of a small animal is buried somewhere.”

If you try to hide it too grandly, it will be noticeable.

Therefore, it was highly likely that Kagon hid the sacrifice by pretending to live a normal life.

-Or maybe they built a proper grave nearby.

If someone finds it, they can just pretend that they buried a poor animal that was killed.

“Maybe there’s a small grave or something.”

Seri thought for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“Confucius. “I think I can help.”

“A tax collector?”

“yes.”

She thought a little more and then spoke with difficulty.

“Actually, I wasn’t telling anyone because I felt like I would be treated like a weirdo.”

Seri seemed worried.

I’m afraid that even Vincennes will look at Seri strangely.

“Seri. I trust you.”

“… … .”

Seri nodded once.

Vincen’s words gave her great strength.

“I keep hearing strange voices these days.”

“Strange voice?”

“It sounds like chattering. He keeps talking to me. “He also tells me various things.”

“… … .”

“But I keep hearing the child screaming for help.”

Seri trembled.

“I can still hear it now.”

Vincennes couldn’t say anything.

There was no sound in his ears.

Vincen asked Julian.

‘Is there such a thing?’

-I do not know.

‘Well, this is my first time hearing about magic bodies, so of course I don’t know about this phenomenon.’

-Are you ignoring me now?

‘I was just stating the truth.’

-Cases like that are very rare! Natural elementalists who naturally hear the voices of spirits. Or 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 learned magic cannot become an elementalist or a magician! So I just said that I don’t know of such cases. I’m not saying I don’t know because I don’t know anything! Even if I tried to explain it, they would just tell me the conclusion anyway!

‘Then you know, why did you say you didn’t know?’

Julian profits! And he spat out an angry scolding.

Vincen asked.

“Seri. “Will you lead me to where the screaming is coming from?”

* * *

Vincen left the dormitory with Seri.

It was a flower bed near a small training ground not far from the dormitory.

It was a place where flowers whose names I could not tell were blooming, and when I looked closely, I saw traces of being dug up in one place.

Seri’s body trembled.

“voice is… … “I can hear you.”

It wasn’t a human voice.

It was a sound like a scream uttered by a being.

“I keep begging for my life. “I don’t want to die.”

Tears flowed from her eyes against her will.

Seri’s magical power began to run rampant.

“Huh, huh… … !”

Seri cried for a long time.

He said he saw something ominous that could not be described in words.

“Seri.”

Vincen came closer to Seri.

I lightly hugged Se-ri, who was crying.

“are you okay. “You don’t have to be too afraid.”

Seri’s body was trembling.

She seemed very frightened, so I patted her shoulder and her trembling gradually subsided.

“For now, Seri is waiting here.”

Vincen entered the flower bed.

I began to carefully dig up the dirt with my bare hands.

‘I don’t know exactly… … .’

The flow of mana is very strange.

It looked like something like a small barrier had been formed.

‘This… … ‘Magic stone?’

A magic gem filled with mana was seen.

It was artificially planted by someone.

‘It seems to be forming a special barrier.’

-that’s right. It’s like a kind of sealing ceremony.

It sounded like something was being locked away.

I dug a little more.

I couldn’t see anything.

‘There’s nothing.’

But then, Seri came closer.

“Confucius.”

“huh?”

Seri was crying again.

Tears flowed freely.

She sat down on her knees.

I carefully reached out to the dirt and picked up something.

Vincen was curious, but just watched Seri.

‘what?’

Seri was holding something carefully.

Gradually something began to appear in Seri’s hands.

It looked like a small baby mole.

-It’s a spirit!

Ordinary people cannot see spirits.

The only spirits that are visible are usually those that have made a contract with an elementalist.

-Why can’t I see the spirit?

The spirit’s baby mole-like body flickered.

It seemed like it was on the verge of extinction.

If it were a living thing, it looked like it was barely breathing.

‘The spirit… … Was it used as a medium for a curse?’

It seemed like a chain method was used using spirits.

‘Intentionally keeping it from extinction.’

It was a very cruel method.

At first glance, the spirit seemed to be very distressed.

‘The method of cursing has also evolved.’

There was no curse like this 500 years ago.

At that time, the curse was activated by killing the sacrifice on the spot.

But now, it seemed like they were using a sacrifice that was ‘predestined for death’, that is, a ‘spirit’ to solve the curse ritual.

The spirit in Seri’s hand let out a crying sound, and Vincen’s ears began to hear the sound.

I knew it when I heard the sound.

‘That’s terrible.’

I thought I knew why Seri was crying so much.

The spirit’s cry was so miserable.

‘The first chain pattern is engraved on the back.’

It was similar to the pattern engraved on Selvira’s hand.

It was definitely Kagon’s doing.

‘What I can do is… … ‘Is it just letting them go in comfort?’

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’ was holding on to life forcibly.

All Vincen could do was to let her go comfortably.

When I made that decision, something strange happened.

“Don’t be distressed. I will help you. “I will save you.”

A few drops of Seri’s tears reached the baby mole.

The mana that made up the chain ceremony began to shake.

A large spirit gate was created at Seri’s feet.

-Um, spirit contract?!

A power different from Manawa.

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 carefully kissed the spirit’s back.

‘Chain ceremony… … ‘It’s disappearing.’

I didn’t kill the sacrifice.

The chain ceremony has disappeared.

The spirit that was suffering suddenly regained its health.

Jump!

The spirit that jumped to the ground is beepyung? Beep? Beep! He made a sound, and it seemed like he was probably saying thank you to the tax collector.

Seri seemed to understand everything he said.

“Yes, go back to the spirit world and get some rest before coming back.”

Seri waved his hand and the mole nodded and disappeared under the ground.

Vincen, who stared at the scene, stood up and spoke.

“Seri. “Don’t tell anyone what happened today.”

“If what happened today… … .”

“The fact that you made a contract with a spirit.”

Seri is learning magic from Lord Vargon.

Those who learn magic cannot contract with spirits.

“You have just performed a miracle. “Even if I search the entire continent, I won’t find anyone with a constitution like yours.”

A magical body that receives mana on its own.

A rare case where someone learned magic while also making a contract with a spirit.

If this secret spreads to the world, there will be a huge number of people curious about Seri’s body.

‘I still don’t have the power to protect the miracle that happened to you.’

Seri did not ask about Coach Coach.

“all right. I will do that. But should I keep it a secret, even from Master?”

“for now.”

“all right.”

Vincen reached out to Seri and helped her up.

Seri’s eyes were still red from crying so hard earlier.

she laughed

“So, would I have been of help to Confucius today?”

* * *

After sending Seri away, Vincen looked a little more in front of the flower bed.

‘Can Kagon handle spirits?’

The person who performed the ‘First Chain Ceremony’ was definitely Kagon.

However, it was unknown whether he had even dealt with the spirits himself.

-Nothing is known to the public. To begin with, there are no elementalists from Samion.

It was strange.

It is almost impossible to see or touch a spirit that has not been contracted, as Kagon even used a curse with the spirit.

‘It smells really bad.’

I looked a little more, but I still couldn’t figure out the exact thing.

But then, a voice came from behind.

“What are you doing here?”

It was Kagon.

“I keep hearing strange screaming noises.”

“Screaming?”

Kagon tilted his head.

“It looks like you’re nervous because of the secondary gateway.”

Kagon shrugged his shoulders.

There was no sign of surprise or embarrassment on his face.

Kagon continued.

“Vincent. “It may not have been your intention, but you ruined my work.”

“Nail?”

Kagon didn’t hide it much.

“The sacrifice I used to use Samion’s authentic techniques was buried here.”

“… … .”

Vincenne was momentarily speechless.

I never thought I would admit it to myself.

“This is the first time I’ve heard that Samion’s traditional magic requires a sacrifice.”

“Because it’s like a family law. “It’s not a complete secret, but we don’t necessarily talk about it.”

“What kind of traditional magic does it require a sacrifice for?”

“It was a punishment.”

“punishment?”

“There is something that people are born with.”

There was a subtle fondness in Kagon’s eyes.

Vincen knew why.

Kagon seemed to think of Vincenne as a ‘fellow fellow’.

“Just like you and me, there are people who are born with great fortune and outstanding status, while there are also people who are not.”

“… … .”

“As you know, we and they are divided into those who rule and those who are ruled. “For proper governance, proper discipline is also necessary, right?”

Selvira did not listen to Kagon.

I ‘ordered’ him to follow me from a distance and just admire him, but he dared to move.

It was true that the result was in Kagon’s favor, but it was also true that Kagon’s words were not followed.

“So I had to punish him.”

Kagon grinned.

“I think you understand better than anyone else what I mean, right?”
