How the Reincarnation Seat Destroys the Original - Chapter 77
Only Noblemtl
Episode 77. Lina and Lisa (5).
It wasn’t that Kael hadn’t expected this situation at all. As soon as Rim saw him, he realized that he wasn’t a soul from this world, that he had been reincarnated multiple times.
Since Lina could see souls, it was quite predictable that she would be able to sense it as well.
It was beyond my expectations that he would remember his past life.
“Is that a problem?”
That I am not the soul of this world.
When Kael asked if it was a problem to remember one’s past life and repeat reincarnation, Raina shook her head.
“Lisa and I owe a favor to Kael and Mabel. So… please let us repay that favor.”
“Yesterday you said you could kill me, but today you want me to repay the favor?”
“That, that is….”
Laina’s face turned slightly red as Kael reminded her of yesterday’s mistake again.
It was a relief to know that for the first time, they had led souls to rest. The village of Shabbat was always teeming with souls that looked like real people, but Raisa and Raina knew that they were not real living beings.
Because it is so vain and vain.
The emptiness that comes from illusions that are not real, piles up little by little, if only they could lead the souls they have captured to peace someday.
They thought that after they had captured these souls and led them to rest, it would be okay for them to leave for rest as well.
“Anyway, the only place we can be is Shabat Village… Even if we go out, in this world where only humans remain, in this world heading towards destruction, we will still be the ones bringing death to them.”
After the Sabbath is over.
The burden that had always weighed heavily on him since his parents and elders were massacred was gone. The relief he felt for the first time helped to remove any remaining regrets.
“But I realized it after we all had breakfast together yesterday and returned to the Shabbat village.”
I didn’t want to die.
I didn’t want to live in hiding.
I wanted to feel the body temperature of a living person, share emotions, and live together.
“We… just don’t want to live like this anymore.”
“So you’re saying that you want to stick together under the pretext of repaying my favor? I don’t think it would be beneficial for you to reveal that you’re dark elves, so I figured I could sufficiently hide your true identities with my abilities.”
His words were sharp and close to the correct answer.
I wanted to spend more time with those who saw me as I was, just as Lina and Raisa, not as the race of death, the bringers of death.
Raina lowered her head at the words that hit the nail on the head.
“… Still… I mean it when I say I want to repay the favor.”
“know.”
A more plain answer came out of Kael’s mouth than expected.
“You don’t have to repay a favor. There’s no need to.”
– Bam.
The moment Kael continued speaking.
A green note fell from the air onto his desk.
Kael, who opened the note without delay and could easily guess who sent it, thought for a moment before asking Lina.
“You want to repay the favor?”
“Yes. But… you just said you didn’t need it…”
“When? Did I? Say something like that?”
Laina’s head, which had been bowed, slowly rose as she heard Kael’s voice change its words as if turning over the palm of her hand.
“I need it. Give me a chance to repay the favor.”
“then….”
“Lisa, you can convince her yourself.”
Kael stood up from his chair.
“Can you possibly control your dolls?”
“I haven’t tried it, but I think it’s possible.”
“let’s go.”
“Uh… where to?”
“Shabbat Village. I heard they’re building a graveyard. I think we should take care of that quickly.”
After saying those words, he immediately left the room.
As she was about to hurriedly follow him, Raina thought back to what Kael had said earlier.
‘Favor’ does not have to be repaid.
That means….
“Oh, and Lina.”
“Yes, Kael.”
“You should be more honest.”
Raina smiled brightly at Kael’s words as he walked ahead without even looking back.
“Yes! I’ll keep that in mind!”
An empty room after Kael and Raina leave.
A green note on the desk read:
“Lars and his party. Heading to the Black Forest.
It is expected to arrive within two days.
“The temple’s movements are unusual. Please be careful.”
* * *
The temple of the beginning.
The priest who appeared in the training ground there opened his mouth.
“Go to the Black Forest. It will help you grow.”
At the words of the priest, who was dressed in pure white from head to toe, Lars stopped swinging his sword into the air and looked at the priest.
Adriana, who was observing his posture, and Cloris, who was watching them from under the sunshade, naturally turned their gazes toward the priest.
“Growth… you mean?”
“What does that mean?”
“Right after Lars recovered, he had to take the test given to him by the temple. But not long after the test was over…!”
Lars asked the priest again, and Adrina and Cloris protested. Despite their response, the priest bowed deeply, covered his face, and continued speaking.
“God, knowing that you are too weak to endure the second trial, has taken care of you.”
God’s care. You won’t reject God’s will, will you?
The voice of the priest who added was extremely polite, but there was an unspoken pressure not to refuse.
“Let’s do that. You said it was the Black Forest? We’ll get ready and leave soon.”
After regaining consciousness, Lars, who had to undergo harsh training in the Temple of the Beginning under the name of a test before his body could fully recover, was simply puzzled. He readily agreed with the priest’s words and replied that he would leave for the Black Forest.
After the priest leaves the training ground.
“Lars, are you really okay? You said you’ve recovered, but you’re still feeling unwell.”
Cloris approached Lars and handed him a towel, asking him, “What do you mean?” He nodded, smiling softly as he watched her handing Adrina a towel as well.
“are you okay.”
Adrina frowned at his calm answer.
“It’s okay. He’s still a guy whose posture is messed up. What kind of growth can he have with a body like that?”
The growth that the priests speak of is less than the ordeals.
It was a kind of training that was no different from pushing yourself into a corner.
“And… I heard that recently, the land that Viscount Damie received as a reward for his contribution was near the Black Forest? He went on vacation there with his daughter.”
This was news that both Cloris and Adrina were already familiar with.
In particular, it was impossible not to notice because Cloris had been talking nonstop for a while about how cute Mabel’s behavior at the dedication ceremony was and how such a nice girl could come to such a man.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen Lady Cloris like someone so much, and since I won’t be able to see her for a while once the second trial comes down, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take this opportunity to go and see her.”
Of course, we don’t know if Viscount Damier will welcome us.
“Lars… .”
“Was I being too nosy?”
“That’s not it… That… Thank you for your concern.”
Cloris’s face turned red as she looked at Lars, who smiled slightly awkwardly and spoke innocently, saying that it was no different from saying that he had agreed for her own sake.
Adrina pretended to wipe away her sweat while looking at the two people. She secretly smiled sadly under the towel, but in an instant, she wiped the smile away and draped the towel over her shoulders.
“I have no immunity to this pink current, so I think I’m going to melt, so I’ll go get ready-.”
Cloris looked at Adrina’s voice, which was extremely playful.
“Adrina-!”
“Eek, I’m running away before you nag my young lady! See you at the temple gate!”
Cloris, who was watching Adrina walk away with a light hop, glanced up at Lars next to her and cleared her throat.
“Well then, Lars. Let’s go get ready too.”
“Yes, Miss.”
“Seriously, you and Adrina, please don’t call me miss.”
“But you are a young lady.”
As Cloris’s eyes brightened, Lars laughed. Cloris, who couldn’t help but smile back at him, who was smiling like a little boy, blinked at the remnants of some emotion passing through his eyes.
“miss?”
But soon, when she saw the affectionate voice calling her and the clear emerald eyes focused on her, Cloris shook her head.
“It’s nothing. Let’s go quickly!”
The emptiness that passed through his eyes.
She couldn’t find a reason for Lars to look at her like that, so she just thought she was seeing things wrong.
An hour later.
A chariot emerged from the Temple of the Beginning.
The carriage carrying Lars, Cloris, and Adrina headed towards the Black Forest.
A week had passed since the three had left the temple.
He arrived in front of the Black Forest, dropped them off in front of it, and quickly walked away as if his work was over.
“I feel this way every time, but what on earth do they think of us?”
Adrina brushed back her flowing bangs with a dumbfounded expression at the extremely cold treatment.
“A tool to prevent the destruction of the world. I guess.”
“My lady, please sympathize with me in times like this.”
“Oh, really?”
“I don’t agree with you at all….”
Lars, who had heard the conversation between Cloris and Adrina, let out a small laugh and looked around before stopping at a certain point.
“Miss, Adrina. I think that’s the villa of the Countess Damier.”
At his words, Cloris and Adrina turned their gaze to where he was looking, and they could see a large tree in the distance and a villa next to it.
A faint light flickered inside the villa, and the three people who had been looking at the villa for a while turned their gazes at the same time as if they had made a promise and walked into the black forest.
“I’m still a little concerned about the letter.”
“Hey, I tried to send you a letter every time I visited the village. Since no one was planning to go to the Black Forest, wouldn’t it be okay to explain the situation? It’s not that I didn’t send it, I just couldn’t send it.”
“I’m sure Count Damie will understand.”
?At the center of the Black Forest, there is a key that will help you grow on the way there. While you’re at it, it might be a good idea to take a look at the center as well.?
Before leaving the temple. While they were heading towards the center of the Black Forest, recalling what the priest had said, they were struck by the mirror inside them and fell unconscious, just like Tariq, but fortunately, all three were able to regain consciousness before a day had passed.
After that, they soon reached the center of the Black Forest and were speechless at the sight that unfolded before their eyes.
There was no sign of life in the place, which was like a small village with several houses.
There were just… at least twenty graves, large and small, lined up along the roadside in place of people, and in the center of them was a crimson flag fluttering in the wind.
As the wind blew, the flag fluttered, revealing the words that had not been visible beneath it. Written on the flag in blood red was… .
?Ah, when you call us, just call us ‘Idea’.?
‘idea’.
It was the name of those who wished for the destruction of this world.
