How the Reincarnation Seat Destroys the Original - Chapter 64



Only Noblemtl

Episode 64. Black Forest (4).

“Your eyes are very rude.”

Feeling the fluffy hair under his hand, Kael spoke absentmindedly, just like the hand he had placed on it.

He could tell that Mabel was sincere in her words about wanting to help him. But that wasn’t all. Mabel’s clear purple eyes, looking at him and asking, had a similar light to his own eyes when he recalled his past life.

He didn’t know what kind of life the person in front of him had lived in his past life. He could have known if he wanted to know, and he could have heard if he wanted to hear. But he didn’t want to dig up the details and ask.

?My nickname in my previous life was ‘Positivity King’!?

That’s what I said to Mabel the day I first met her. After hearing that, I wondered about the child’s past life for the first and last time.

Of course, there were people who were positive from birth.

But how many people are like that? Could such people have endured the harsh life in the temple? At least, Kael thought not.

If you don’t think positively, it’s hard to endure the given situation. In order to stand up without giving up. In order to move forward without stopping, you hold on to a thin thread of hope.

“I just do what I can, so you do what you can.”

“What I can do….”

“Yes. Even when you saved Tariq, if you hadn’t lifted Lily’s curse, he would have killed himself even if you had saved him. He would have lived a life that was not alive.”

Kael continued, watching Mabel’s lips quiver at his words.

“I wish you would just do what you’re told and not do anything rash like you did during the disaster. It was quite annoying.”

Mabel’s actions were quite… no, very annoying. But it was also true that her actions saved more people.

Originally, the village of Whidin was a village where everyone would die from an epidemic, but most of the villagers survived.

Although the completion of the cure took a day or two longer than before, the number of people who contracted the disease was significantly reduced thanks to the lucky soap.

Although he supported Cloris’s work at a loss, he made enough sales to cover the loss.

They didn’t even give me a bottle or medicine.

Even though I was tired, the results weren’t bad.

Rather, it was to the point where I could say it was good.

“But then you’d be no better than a doll.”

?See the dolls on your bed? Just like those dolls, don’t think about anything and just do what I tell you. What are you going to do with your head??

“Just like when you make lucky soap. Think for yourself and write a report. I’ll read it and if it’s good, I’ll help you out.”

?Don’t think about it. What have you done on your own? Nothing? Why should we help you??

These words were so different from what I had heard in my past life. They actually reminded me of my past life.

“Oh, of course you have to clean up the mess caused by your actions yourself.”

?This incident. It was said that you did it. … You feel wronged? You’re my little brother, so you can’t even help me that much?!?

– Knock. Knock.

Kael patted Mabel’s fluffy head.

“It’s been a long story, but as it says in the book, the Tree of Rest is an important tree to the Dark Elves. It doesn’t just require divine power, but growing it won’t be easy.”

“… … .”

“No matter how many scapegoats I bring back, I cannot let them live on their own. Just as Lily did for Tariq, I thought the Tree of Rest would do the same for the Dark Elves, so I left this task to you. Don’t think of useless things.”

“What a useless thought! This is too much!!!”

Kael is different from those who stabbed me in the face in the name of family.

The fact hit her so clearly that Mabel smiled even brighter.

The answer to the words I spoke without burying them in my heart came back.

Even though he seemed blunt after hearing the answer, he was actually affectionate. In fact, I wondered if he had given me an answer that was not helpful. I wondered if I was really being helpful. I was still anxious and doubtful.

“There’s nothing I can do since Kael says so much! I’ll make the Tree of Rest grow really big, so Kael and Tariq, be careful on your way!!!”

But this anxiety was the kind that he had to overcome.

Kael had already given me the best answer to my question. She knew he wasn’t one to talk nonsense. Mabel trusted what she had seen of him.

“If you come too late, I’ll go find it myself!”

“I’ll be back within a week at the latest.”

“A week. I remembered!”

“Go down.”

“Oh, that’s right! Kael. The last page of the book was torn.”

“Was it like that?”

“What was the last chapter about?”

“well.”

After talking to Mabel and going down to the first floor, Kael headed straight to the Black Forest with Tariq.

“It is the seed of the tree of rest. If you want to plant it, plant it.”

Before leaving, Kael handed Mabel a large black seed that she couldn’t completely wrap around with both hands, and turned around without a single ounce of regret.

“Have a nice trip.”

“I’ll be back soon.”

With a brief greeting, Kael snapped his fingers and the two disappeared from sight.

“Miss. Would you like to go plant some seeds?”

“Yeah! Do you have a shovel?”

“It’s in my room. I brought it just in case.”

“Then will you bring it to me?”

“Yes. Please wait a moment.”

As Lily, who had somehow prepared a shovel, entered the villa, Mabel took out a piece of paper hidden under the seeds of the tree of peace that reminded her of the black garlic that Kael had left in her hand.

Carefully unfold the neatly folded paper.

I was able to read the hidden text.

– Rustle.

“This book is for the souls we have failed to lead to rest, and for my friends.

Our descendants will be able to immediately recognize the souls we have failed to lead to rest.

If by chance and by fate, our remaining descendants will read this book someday, I would like to ask you a favor.

The us now. Me.

Please guide the wounded and torn souls that were unable to be healed to peace.

“May the God of Death be able to lead my dear friend, who has shown me that death exists, to peace, even if he disappears.”

It was the last page of an old, worn-out book.

Black forest.

Two figures fell from the empty space where no living thing had set foot for a long time.

Before the body crashes into the black floor.

Two people. Kael and Tariq’s bodies stopped.

Kael had floated up using magic.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

Standing on the black, rotten but intact grass, Kael and Tariq looked around.

The time they set out for the Black Forest was just as the sun was setting, but inside the forest it was dark as if it was past midnight.

Tall, densely growing trees with dark gray trunks and black leaves blocked out the sky, making it look like night.

“Are you uncomfortable with your movements or are you dull?”

“Yes. There is no difference. Are you okay, Master?”

“Ah, it’s okay.”

Kael clenched and unclenched his fists. He said he was fine, but he felt more uncomfortable using his magic than usual.

The calculation of the coordinates needed to use teleportation magic was not wrong. It was now more difficult to make a mistake in the magic that had been used freely as if breathing every time.

The fact that it fell into the air instead of the ground must have been due to the strange power of the black forest that interfered with the operation of magic power.

After coming to a simple conclusion, Kael recalled the content of the original work.

“The second trial has arrived.”

“Lars is just about to…!!!”

“I’m fine, miss. So what’s the second trial?”

Lars, who had just returned from his first test, stopped Cloris from protesting and asked, wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead.

The priest spoke with a kind smile at his appearance.

“God said, ‘Those who bring death. Restore freedom to the poor and the oppressed who are bound by them.’”

“When you say, ‘Give them back their freedom,’ do you mean, like, ‘kill them,’ like those who are greedy for material things?”

“Well, I am just a messenger from God. God has told them to free the souls that are bound to them. The way to do that is up to you, the chosen one.”

Those who bring death.

This time it meant not one, but at least two, or more. Lars thought back to the first greedy person he had killed.

I tried to persuade him, but failed.

I couldn’t even change one person’s heart. Will I be able to succeed this time?

“Where are they?”

“The Black Forest. It’s right there.”

The Black Forest wasn’t far from here.

“In the Black Forest, it may be difficult to use magic and sword energy due to the power of those who call for death.”

With the priest’s warning, Lars left for the Black Forest without even a day of rest.

In the original work, the three entered the Black Forest on foot, unlike themselves. The first to react upon entering the Black Forest was Cloris.

“The magic… feels strange. Are you two okay?”

Cloris, who was using light magic to illuminate the black forest covered in darkness like night, stopped walking and asked Lars and Adrina.

Along with the words, “The magic is strange,” the light she created with her magic blinked anxiously as if it would go out at any moment.

What was described later was that magic did not move as usual, and while using magic cost 10, in the Black Forest it cost twice as much, 20. The closer you got to the center of the Black Forest, the more the required magic increased steeply, to 30, 40…

The sword was also like magic power.

“Well, it doesn’t really matter to me.”

Considering how Cloris was able to use magic even after reaching the center of the Black Forest despite her difficulties, Kael judged that he would have no problem using magic since he had more magical power than her and took something out of this space.

What he took out was a compass.

He took out his compass and looked for directions from where he was to the center of the Black Forest. He asked Tariq, who was looking at him with curiosity.

“Is it strange?”

“Rather than being amazed, I have no idea how many things are in the owner’s space.”

One of the fortunate things about being reincarnated repeatedly was that the items I placed in this space did not disappear, and if I used this space magic after reincarnation, they would remain as they were.

This space that has been with you for hundreds of years.

The amount of items inside would also be as varied and numerous as the amount of time that had passed. There would also be items inside that he didn’t remember.

“There are quite a few. It’s probably faster to find what’s not there than what’s there.”

“Is it really that much?”

“okay.”

Kael walked into the center of the black forest with an answer. It was dark, but the darkness that allowed objects to be distinguished even without light only grew thicker, until finally Kael used magic to create light in the air.

Tariq’s body fell limply next to me.

Kael caught Tariq with his magic before he could fall to the ground. His eyes were closed. He sighed as he watched him shaking helplessly, as if he had completely lost consciousness.

“…I knew this would happen.”
