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 Daven was subjected to when he was bound in the dungeon.

It was the curse spell of the Samion family that dulled their talent and sense for the sword.

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

‘Why is this…’

I like the word ‘chain type’, it was a curse.

Even Daven didn’t know Samion had such a spell until right before he was imprisoned in the dungeon.

I was puzzled even then.

These curses are usually made through the medium of the heart.

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

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

‘The best effect is the human heart.’

The curse is that the closer the sacrifice is to a human, the greater the effect.

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

So it was something Daven couldn’t understand.

‘I don’t think he used a human heart.’

Daven had experienced the curse himself, so he had a rough idea.

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

Selvira, who caught her wrist without knowing the situation, was a bit taken aback.

“Why why?”

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

“What happened?”

Selvira felt Vincen’s expression was unusual for some reason.

“Oh, nothing happened.”

“Something like physical contact.”

“Physical contact…?”

Vincent’s voice sank.

“was there or not?”

“There was no such thing. It was just a normal handshake.”

Vincen did not let go of Selvira’s hand.

He continued to stare at Selvira’s palm.

It was fortunate that there was only one line.

The more strings there are, the more complex they are twisted, the more difficult it is to unlock them.

“Why the hell are you doing that?”

“Every day at 6:00 am. Could you give me a moment before I leave for my private practice?”

“…why?”

“I think you should see it.”

With Vinchen’s ability, it was not possible to unlock it at once.

The sealing ceremony must be released little by little.

“Me me?”

“okay.”

Selvira’s face turned a little red.

“okay. So you want to meet at 6:00 every morning? Since when?”

“Immediately tomorrow.”

“My tomorrow right now?”

Selvira, who was about to say that tomorrow is going to be a bit difficult… but soon shut up.

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

“okay. Then see you at 6:00 tomorrow morning.”

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

Selbyra looked at Vincen with a bewildered expression with her hands down.

Vincen sighed briefly.

‘Kagon, you bastard.’

Circumstances seemed right that Kagon used the chain ceremony.

‘But why?’

I couldn’t figure out why.

But whatever the reason, Cagon cursed Selvira.

The fact was more important than the reason.

‘He did something dirty.’

Vinchen pondered for a moment whether to tell him about the curse.

– Regarding the curse, it’s better to keep quiet. If you start with the evidence and start digging into how you know it, it will be very tiring. If you don’t present proper 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.

Before starting the meditation ceremony in earnest, I calmed down my breathing for a while.

‘I can’t argue right now.’

As Julian said.

There is no evidence to prove Kagon’s atrocities.

I asked Julian.

‘I’m sure he’s sure that Kagon won’t find out that he did this, right?’

-omg? My older brother is also doing what he thinks.

Julian was slightly surprised.

It was a car that I was nervous about going to Kagon right away and arguing about right and wrong.

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

‘The unmanned men of this era are different from before. I didn’t even feel the tax collector’s mana, and I probably wouldn’t feel anything related to the curse.’

The warriors of this era did not feel Se-ri’s mana.

Not only that, but he didn’t know Vincen’s own mana properly either.

‘Theory of imagery’ has developed remarkably, but things that deviate from the theory of imagery are more ignorant than before.

– I judged that way too. He must have been certain that he would not be detected by Sir Herka or Sir Vargon, or even Sir Alberto, the Mage Wizard. But is that a curse right? How did your brother know that?

Vinchen tilted her head for a moment.

I thought Yulian had read all of her thoughts, but it didn’t seem to be the case.

‘Aren’t you reading all my thoughts?’

In fact, Vinchen was judging that he might even vaguely know his identity as a one-armed Daven.

I thought we were silently not talking to each other.

– I can’t read everything. Some are covered in gray. I try to hear, but I don’t hear, and I try to see, but I don’t see.

‘why?’

-Isn’t the agreement high enough that you can bring out even the things you want to hide? Hyung-nim doesn’t read all of my thoughts in detail, either.

He was right.

Even Vincent could read Julian’s emotions and thoughts, but he couldn’t read everything.

-Anyway, that’s the case. 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 care if my older brother used to be a flying and crawling black magician.

That much was sincere.

Because Vinchen always showed the best beyond the best Julian had devised.

Because every moment with Vinchen was what Julian longed for.

Vinchen shook off his thoughts and began to focus on meditation.

And the day passed.

Selvira was in front of the private training room in time for the appointment.

“Vinchen.”

“…”

Vinchen was a little puzzled.

“…you.”

Selvira was very different from usual.

Her long hair, which had always been tightly tied during training, had been undone.

Unlike usual, her hair felt wavy and full.

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

It was not as formal as the dress worn at social events, but it was definitely uncomfortable for training.

“The training outfit is very strange.”

“…”

Selvira’s face turned a little red.

‘What was I thinking?’

He coughed loudly and avoided Vinchen’s gaze.

“Sometimes I practice wearing this for a change of heart.”

“…why?”

“Because even when the clothes are uncomfortable, the enemy will appear.”

Vincent finally understood and nodded.

Even at social parties, ambush can appear.

“I respect your practice.”

Anyway, the important thing was the chain ceremony, not the outfit.

I needed to know more about this chain formula.

Vincent said.

“I’m going to stand guard, but you have your magic spin and pay attention to see if there’s a place where the flow is toxic.”

“why?”

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

roughly circled around

“Somehow I feel like I can help.”

“Um, I see.”

Selvira started meditating without much doubt.

Vinchen watched Selvira intently with unmanned eyes.

After a while, Selvira opened her eyes.

“Once done.”

“What’s strange about it?”

“I don’t know. Should there be something strange?”

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

This was also a weakness of image theory.

Image theory is a very effective and safe method.

Even if there are some problems or errors, if the formula is followed, the magic rotation proceeds without much difficulty.

From the caster’s point of view, such trivial problems are not even recognized.

‘Originally, somewhere the flow feels stuffy.’

Even so, it was impossible to tell them to try magic rotation without using imagery.

“How many more times shall we do it?”

“okay.”

Selbyra did as Vinchen told her to do without saying anything.

After meditating a few more times, Vincen said.

“It would be nice to hold hands and meditate.”

First of all, the place where the curse spell was engraved was the palm.

The way the curse was transmitted was ‘physical contact’.

Vincen tried to feel the traces of the curse in the same way that it was cast.

“It’s the first time I’ve heard of holding hands and meditating together.”

“It’s a fairly common method.”

“Is that so?”

Observing and helping the flow of mana through physical contact.

This was common practice 500 years ago.

Usually, the master did this to his pupil.

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

“okay.”

“I see.”

Selvira hesitated and offered her hand.

I started meditating while holding hands with Vinchen, but I couldn’t concentrate on the meditation at all.

I heard Vinchen’s words.

“Focus on the magic flow.”

“…”

“Your magic is running around too much.”

That’s right.

Selvira’s nerves went all over the clasped hands.

I couldn’t concentrate on meditation at all.

The strength of the mana was not constant, and the flow was not able to come out properly.

‘If it wasn’t for the theory of imagery, it would have been dangerous.’

The way modern warriors deal with mana was too dangerous for the old warriors.

Mana that comes and goes like this following the heartbeat.

From Vinchen’s point of view, it was terrifying because he was unfamiliar with it.

I honestly didn’t expect it to be like this.

‘I can’t find a chain point like this.’

The training that day was to end there.

With Vinchen’s current ability, she couldn’t release Selvira’s chain ceremony.

-older brother. You know that the second gateway to the friendship exchange meeting is two days later, right?

For Julian, Vincen’s spiritual development took precedence over Selvira’s safety.

The friendship exchange meeting to be held two days later was far more important than the curse that had been placed on Selvira.

‘know.’

– Wouldn’t it be better to focus more on the friendship exchange event?

‘The curse gets stronger as time passes.’

3 days from when the curse was first applied.

That time is golden time.

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

– Still. Friendship exchange events are more important to us.

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

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

Because once upon a time, Daven lived only for his goals.

‘Those who live only for goals lose people.’

If you lose people, you lose everything.

One-armed Daven wouldn’t have died so helplessly if his people had been around.

Meanwhile,

Seri, who was having dinner with Vinchen, secretly looked at Vinchen.

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

That made Seri feel good too.

“Are you worried about something, Gongja?”

“Rather than worry…”

She read Vinchen’s mind like a ghost.

“Please tell me. Although I’m not very proud, I can listen to Confucius’ concerns.”

Even she didn’t know.

What kind of change today’s listening will bring.
