How the Reincarnation Seat Destroys the Original - Chapter 84

Episode 84. Invitation to the Temple (2).

“… I saw the High Priest in person before. I was so young that my memory is vague. I don’t know if he is the High Priest who serves the Primordial God, but what is certain is that he came back to confirm my divine power and then just left.”

Not long after her reincarnation, she had difficulty controlling the immense divine power within her body, so the divine power flowed out, and the priests realized that Mabel had divine power.

As the High Priest was not in the temple, only priests with weak divine powers existed in the temple, so only those who could not predict the extent of Mabel’s divine powers existed. When the High Priest visited the temple and saw Mabel.

Mabel had already developed the ability to conceal her divine powers sufficiently.

“Do you remember the appearance of that priest at that time?”

“Hmm… . Gold! Gold eyes! And I remember he was a very young man.”

A young man with golden eyes.

Some information was added, but nothing of much value was gained. The few remaining high priests of each temple all had golden eyes, and perhaps because they had divine powers, they were less affected by the passage of time than the others.

Of course, there was an implicit hierarchy among the priests, and the one at the top of the pyramid was the priest who served the primordial god.

“The original priest had pure white hair and golden eyes, right?”

When Mabel asked, Kael nodded and became lost in thought.

In the original work, the high priest of the primordial temple possessed the most powerful divine power of any priest in existence.

If he was the high priest who had come to see Mabel in the past, the story would have been easier, but it was difficult to be certain. However, that did not mean there was no way.

“I guess I should look into the past movement records of the Grand Priest… .”

“huh?”

Kael muttered softly, and Mabel, missing his muttering, asked back.

“Nothing. Let’s find out who the high priest was who came to check on you.”

“I… should I go to the temple too?”

Mabel asked again as if to confirm, and Kael nodded silently.

Mabel looked as if she was about to cry when he told her that she had to go to the temple, but then shook her head and took a deep breath.

“Yeah! Let’s go for something like that! What!”

I thought you were going to burst into tears and say you didn’t want to go.

Contrary to expectations, Mabel made a face that said she absolutely hated going, but she gladly declared that she would go.

Mabel took a step away from the desk at the sight of Kael looking at her with a look of surprise, placed both hands on her hips, raised her head slightly, and spoke.

“I’m Mabel Du Damier! In-Geol?”

?From now on, you will be ‘Mabel Du Damier’ and not a pile of ashes. Don’t be afraid of such insignificant things.?

What he had said to Mabel when they had visited the Temple of Janus together to obtain the excommunication papers.

Kael couldn’t help but chuckle at Mabel’s words, which sounded as if she remembered those words.

“Yes. You are Mabel Dew Damier.”

“that’s right!”

They say that children grow quite quickly, and in the meantime, they seem to have become quite strong. However, the body that was trembling slightly and the voice showed that there was a fear deeply embedded in the child.

Kael pretended not to see it and said.

“Don’t worry. The adoption process of the Empire is a difficult one. And excommunication is not easy. Even if the temple learns of your divine powers, you will still be Mabel Du Damier, and this will still be your home.”

Kael’s voice, flowing out in a unique, blunt manner, gave Mabel a sense of stability, and she was able to smile brightly.

“I’ll let you know as soon as I find out the identity of the high priest who came to check on you. Will that be okay?”

“Yeah! Thanks, Kael!”

Afterwards, Mabel ran out of the office in search of something sweet, saying she was hungry, and Kael, left alone in the office again, took out a brooch made of a dark green round gem.

Kael neatly folded the letter, writing the location of the Temple of Janus where Mabel had been on a small piece of paper, along with a note asking for information on the high priests who had visited the temple over the past eight years, as well as the eight-year movement records of the high priests in the Temple of the Beginning. He then held the letter close to his brooch.

The letter disappeared with a flash of light, and less than an hour later, a green note fell from the air.

“It’s good because things get done quickly.”

Kael unfolded the green note in response to the faster-than-expected reply, and a corner of his mouth slightly rose when he saw the contents of the note, which was considerably longer than usual.

“The only priest who visited the temple of Janus at the location you requested is the Primordial Temple Primordial …

For eight years, the movement records of the Primordial Temple’s High Priests are as follows:

…

Visit to the Temple of Janus (unofficial).

…

This record is an attachment of the records held by the World Tree in addition to the official records.

The high priest who came to confirm Mabel’s divine power was the original high priest. And it was an unofficial visit, so…

Kael’s gaze lingered on the part where the life or death of the high priest of the temple of Janus on the upper row was unknown. If the god Janus had chosen this person as the child’s family in order to grant Mabel’s empty wish.

The high priest of Janus, whom I had never seen before, must have been quite a devout man.

“And the god Janus probably doesn’t understand this world very well.”

Kael could most likely, no, he could be sure of it.

The High Priest of the Temple of Janus is no longer in this world. He would have died by the hand of the High Priest of the Temple of the Beginning when the story of Mabel’s divine power reached his ears.

“Matthias Limpite… .”

He has already lived for at least 300 years.

The one who manipulated all the trials and put Lars in chains. And… he was also the one who took away the divine power of the last saint who appears in the episode.

Kael was also an opponent that he did not want to deal with unless absolutely necessary.

– Dalgrak.

The ice in the cup of coffee melted, making a small, clear sound. Kael sat quietly for a long time, looking as if he was pondering something.

The first day.

It was one of the anniversaries that stood shoulder to shoulder with the founding anniversary of the Empire of Tius. It was a festival that lasted for three days to commemorate the day when the primordial god created all things.

At the same time, it was a day when the temple of the beginning, which had been tightly closed, opened its doors to everyone regardless of social status.

Of course, since it was not open to the public, the temple garden and the waiting room were all that was available to those who did not donate a certain amount of money.

On the first day of the festival, which marks the beginning of the festival.

A pure white carriage stood in front of the Damier Countess.

“Then… I… will go!”

Mabel, wearing a cute dress the same color as the pure white carriage and a fluffy fur bag on her back, looked back at those who had come out to greet her with a solemn expression and said.

“Miss. Please stay close to your Count.”

“Yeah! Lily! Don’t worry! I’ll stick with you!”

“It’s a shame we can’t go together.”

“There’s nothing we can do because the knights’ entry is strictly restricted! Tariq, protect the baron!”

Mabel looked at Hugo, who would normally have seen her off with a kind smile, as she responded to Lily and Tariq’s words.

Mabel smiled broadly as she looked at the affectionate person who was just looking at her with a worried expression without saying anything.

“Hugo, I’ll be back.”

“…miss.”

“While I’m away, should I take care of Sky and Norang’s food and snacks?”

The reason Hugo’s expression was particularly worse than the others was because he had been watching Kael prepare before going to the Temple of the Beginning from the closest distance.

As the Day of the Beginning approached, Kael became busier. He visited the palace, which he usually hated to even look at, and he was often seen grimacing as if he had a headache while calculating something.

Hugo, who had seen his master in this state for the first time, knew that visiting the Temple of the Beginning would not be easy, even if he did not know the details.

– Bam.

“Don’t think useless thoughts.”

“Master.”

A hand lightly brushed Hugo’s shoulder as he was unable to respond to Mabel’s words.

It was Kael, dressed in a pure white outfit with a bluish tint.

“Kael! Slow down!”

“I came out late because I thought it would take all day to say hello. It was a good thing I came out late.”

Kael responded bluntly to Mabel’s question and looked at Hugo. Hugo bowed his head deeply at his master’s gaze.

“Hugo, have you ever seen me waste my time on something useless?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“Then I understand.”

Hugo slowly raised his head at the sound of his master’s voice indirectly telling him that there was a reason for everything he had been doing so busy.

“They say that as you get older, your thoughts get more distracting. Am I already at that age?”

It may have sounded sarcastic, but those who knew him well, those who encountered him well, would be able to read the tiny bit of playfulness in his voice.

Hugo smiled faintly at the playfulness in his master’s voice.

“I’m not that old yet, Master.”

“Well then, you do what you have to do here. Do what you can do.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

In response to Kael’s words, Hugo came over to Mabel and knelt on one knee to be at eye level with the child.

“miss.”

“Yeah. Hugo.”

“I will take responsibility for the food and snacks of Haneul and Norang that you have entrusted to me. So, don’t worry and go.”

“okay!”

“And… as Lily said, don’t leave your master’s side. Don’t be discouraged, and go to the temple with dignity.”

A kind smile appeared on Hugo’s face.

It was her usual smile.

“You are the lovely and one and only Miss Mabel Du Damier of our Damier family.”

“Of course! I’ll conquer all the temples and come back!”

Hugo nodded at the answer that came back with a bright smile, then sat up and looked at his master.

“Master, I will be waiting for your return.”

“Don’t be so excited. Mabel, let’s go.”

Kael answered curtly and helped Mabel onto the pure white carriage first, then stepped onto the stairs.

“See you in two days.”

They visited the temple on the first day and stayed for two days. Kael boarded the carriage, promising to return in two days, and soon the carriage carrying him and Mabel left the Damier mansion and headed to the temple of the first day.
