How the Reincarnation Seat Destroys the Original - Chapter 125



Only Noblemtl

Episode 125. Warning Signs.

“Your Majesty, Count Damie?!”

“What the heck are these interests…?”

The knights of the Imperial Palace who had come running in due to the commotion were confused by the sight of dozens of people piled up with Kael and chains. Kael looked up at the palace building amidst the knights.

In his deep purple eyes, a window opened on the third floor and a figure was seen jumping out lightly. It was Emperor Bastian.

Bastian jumped down without hesitation and used the lower floor veranda as a stepping stone to set his feet on the ground. Watching him, Kael was able to recall the fact that he really was a sword master.

“Hello, noble one, the splendid sun of the Empire of Tius.”

As Kael greeted him politely, the knights of the Imperial Order, who had belatedly noticed that Bastian had appeared, reorganized their formation and saluted the one they had sworn allegiance to.

Bastian raised his hand and pushed back the Imperial Knights, then looked at Kael. His eyes, which easily recognized that the mountain of these people was the culprit who had been causing chaos in the empire recently, were demanding an explanation of the current situation, as the clothes they were wearing were similar to Idea.

At his gaze, Kael opened his mouth, casting a sound-blocking spell around himself and himself to prevent any sound from escaping.

“We caught them anchoring their ships in the port of Luwen. A total of thirty-seven. They didn’t seem to have had any direct contact with Idea, and seemed to be close to those pretending to be his group.”

In addition, Kael pointed to Flod with the tip of his finger, mentioning the smell of gunpowder on the ship and who he assumed was the leader of this group.

Bastian’s gaze turned to the flod that Kael had pointed at, and he smiled slyly, remembering the face.

“By the way, did you bring all those who invaded Rwen?”

“yes.”

Bastian looked at Kael as if he was surprised by the short reply.

“Every single one of them?”

I wasn’t asking why he didn’t kill me.

However, Bastian knew that Kael placed great importance on efficiency, even though the village of Lwen was less than half a day’s ride from the capital by carriage.

Even aside from the time and variables involved in moving dozens of these people, the biggest problem was the anxiety that had taken hold in the hearts of the imperial people.

Even if those in the capital did not directly encounter the power of Idea, the stories about it were exaggerated and made the people of the empire anxious, so when considering whether it was necessary to unnecessarily increase that anxiety,

Bastian thought that rather than increasing the anxiety of the people of the empire, the most efficient way was to take the lives of the criminals who had already taken several lives, although the number was not large, and who had caused damage throughout the empire.

“I would have liked to handle it on the spot, but I had a different opinion from the person who went with me.”

Bastian burst out laughing at Kael’s gruff voice.

I wondered why he was acting so sullen, but it turned out that it was because opinions were divided and his own opinion was rejected. At times like this, I realized that my close friend had a cute side.

“Haha! It’s not that your choice was wrong. It’s actually a good thing since I didn’t want to get blood on your hands.”

Silence was the answer, and Bastian began to think about what he could say to cheer up his friend. Then he recalled the report his aide had submitted before he finished his work today, and opened his mouth.

“By the way, a report about the ‘shelter’ created by Group 2 also came in today.”

Kael’s gaze turned to Bastian as he listened to the story of the second group consisting of Mabel, Cloris, and Adrina, excluding the three who headed to the village of Rwen.

Unlike Group 1, which was practically moving to eradicate the salty ideas, Group 2 decided to work with Damie’s upper group to recover damage in nearby villages and run a shelter for those who had lost their homes or were injured.

In particular, Mabel had the strongest voice in her opinion regarding the shelter, and due to personnel limitations, it was decided that Mabel would be in charge of managing the shelter.

Of course, to those who did not know that the child was a reincarnation, Mabel was just a child of eight years old, so she could not be left in the care of the child alone, so Hugo and Lily decided to take care of the child, and Hugo took on the actual care.

“Not only does she have the divine power to completely heal the wounds of those who come to her, but many people are said to gain strength from her unique bright energy. Perhaps because of that, your daughter was called the angel of the shelter by others in just one day.”

“…You are stating the obvious.”

Kael still responded indifferently to the story that had been told, but Bastian noticed that his expression had softened and smiled refreshingly.

Kael simply knew that Mabel was called an angel even by the servants of the Damier family, and that it was a cliche that could be considered a privilege of being reincarnated, so he accepted it and knew that other people would inevitably like the child.

To Bastian, who heard his answer, Kael’s answer sounded like bragging, saying that it was only natural that his daughter was an angel.

“Is this why everyone says they’re crazy about their daughters?”

“You still seem to be half-asleep. I can see you talking nonsense.”

“You’ve been awake for a long time! Anyway, I’ll keep those you brought in the underground prison under close surveillance. If there’s any information I can find out, I’ll find it and tell you.”

Kael nodded slowly and briefly.

Bastian was a benevolent emperor, but when it came to those who did wrong, he was one of the most cruel emperors Kael had ever seen.

He has created unrest within the empire, and some have lost their lives because of this, so those he has transported will probably regret not dying today.

“When do you plan to come up to the capital?”

“There’s still some cleanup to do, so it’ll probably be up by tomorrow morning at the latest.”

“Then, let’s meet again when you come up.”

Kael nodded again and disappeared, and Bastian looked back at the Imperial Knights awaiting his command.

His face, illuminated by the moonlight, was so cold that it was hard to believe that he had been laughing and chatting with me just a moment ago.

Meanwhile, Kael, who had left the palace and appeared on the deck of the Salty Idea ship anchored in the port of Rowan Village, was able to encounter wooden boxes piled up on the previously empty deck.

“This is a box containing gunpowder that was under the deck. In addition, we were able to find small bombs and oil.”

Tariq, who had come over before anyone knew it, explained the contents of the box to Kael.

Gunpowder, bombs, and oil.

Even if it was a fairly large-scale Luwen, this amount would have immediately turned into a sea of ??fire.

“Is this all?”

“yes.”

Kael reached out to the wooden boxes stacked high, and with each touch the high stack of boxes disappeared.

Everything was put into this space.

Kael, who was looking around the empty deck as before, tilted his head slightly when he saw that there was not a single person in sight.

“I don’t see Lars.”

“Ah, Lord Lars has left the ship for a moment to explain the situation to those who have gathered due to the commotion.”

Not long after that, Lars came aboard the ship.

“You’re back. They are…”

“I have brought you to His Majesty the Emperor. Have the people returned?”

“Yes. When I told them that I had come to catch those who were smuggling in goods on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, they readily accepted and turned back.”

Lars added that the paper with the Emperor’s seal on it would be very helpful in case of an emergency, and looked at Kael as if he had more to say.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“I heard something that was a bit concerning to the villagers.”

A story that concerns you?

Lars relayed the story he had heard from the villagers to Kael’s gaze, which was filled with doubt.

?They said that if there is an abnormal phenomenon in the sea, it is a sign that something bad will happen.?

?The night sea was strange today. Was it because of this??

?It was strange. It was the first time in my ten years of traveling the sea that I saw fish jumping up to the surface of the sea.?

“The fish rose to the surface of the sea and jumped… .”

Kael muttered, chewing over Lars’ words.

It wasn’t that it was unexpected, but now that Lars was doubting himself, bringing up the subject would only tire him out.

“It is a strange thing. I will tell His Majesty the Emperor about it.”

As he finished speaking, there was no mention of the strange phenomenon at sea between them, and since there was a wizard present, they checked once more whether the ship was enchanted.

Fortunately, there was no trace of magic on the ship, and after cleaning up more quickly than expected, they were able to leave Luwen and return to the capital as soon as daylight came.

After that day, the news of Lewen reached the remaining remnants of the Salty Ideas, and they showed no particular movement, and as if to replace it, another story was told.

“Your Majesty, this is not related to the upper level, but similar reports have been coming in from the upper level branch managers of Damie recently.”

Kael, who was listening to the report from the upper ranks of Damie as usual, lifted his gaze from the documents at Hugo’s words.

“There are stories of flocks of birds flying in at the same time, and of wild animals moving in large numbers in the mountains.”

Although it was common for wild animals to come down from the mountains when the weather got cold, the weather in the current empire was so mild that it would be more appropriate to say hot than cold.

And when I saw that it was a report submitted by not just one branch manager, but multiple branch managers at the same time, it was clear that it was quite unusual.

After Hugo finished the rest of his report and left the office, Kael, left alone, put down his papers and sighed.

An unusual phenomenon at sea that occurred in the village of Ruwen.

And the flocks of birds that had just come up, the mass migration of wild animals, were phenomena that Kael was well aware of.

Because it was a sign that the second disaster, a great earthquake, was approaching, as described in the original work.

Since reports reached him, Emperor Bastian must have also heard of the current strange phenomena.

“I guess I should start moving again soon.”

The day Hugo informed Kael of the abnormal phenomenon reported by the branch managers.

Monsters began to appear again near the capital, and the Knights of the Palace, led by Eden, the commander of the Knights of the Palace, who had experience in catching monsters with Kael, took action.

After defeating a group of goblins that were said to be relatively weak but had a certain level of intelligence, Eden was carefully explaining the monsters’ weaknesses to the knights who were resting.

A member of the group approached him urgently, holding a rolled-up piece of paper in his hand.

“Captain!!! I think you need to look at this urgently!!!”

Eden’s expression hardened as he unwrapped the paper he had received. Inside the paper, stained with the goblin’s green blood, was written what looked like a child’s handwriting or a scribbled letter.

“The second disaster is coming soon. There will be an earthquake, so release your monsters accordingly.”
