The Rule of Reincarnation Episode 68
Versa checked again.
“I asked you to schedule a promotion exam, but now you’re asking me to postpone it?”
“That’s right.”
“A letter has already been sent to the general manager of the Red Fort, and a reply has arrived saying that he will do so. It is up to the fortress commander’s discretion to redeem it.”
Bertha frowned slightly.
“I, the country, used external pressure to make a request to the Red Fortress.”
It was both a punishment for Bertha herself for mismanaging Adenka, and a compliment for Vincennes.
But changing his words now wasn’t a very good thing.
“I thought you were aiming for the heavenly fruit.”
Tiangua is a treasure of the Red Fortress that is still shrouded in mystery.
Those who directly obtained the Heavenly Fruit were silent about how they obtained it, so the method of obtaining it was unknown.
But they had one thing in common.
Those who obtained the Cheongwa were ‘the warriors who were promoted the fastest’ and grew into the most outstanding warriors of their time.
“So I decided you wanted a promotion in the shortest amount of time.”
“you’re right.”
“But why are you asking us to postpone the promotion exam?”
“I will explain it to Lord Herka myself.”
Bertha frowned once again.
Although he seemed angry on the outside, he wasn’t actually upset.
‘That’s crazy.’
This was because I knew why Vincen was going to explain it directly to General Manager Herka.
-Removing it is at the discretion of the fortress commander.
Bertha herself said so.
It is said that now everything has been handed over to Herka.
In that case, it was right for Vincen to explain to Herca, not Versa.
Bertha soon relaxed her expression.
‘He’s an interesting guy.’
Bertha asked one thing.
“I heard that Herka has been very busy lately with the subjugation of monsters. “Do you know that?”
“of course. “I have rarely seen him except at official events.”
“You also know that in order to cancel the correspondence between me and Herka, the fortress commander has to personally come and put a new seal on it, right?”
No matter how fast it is, it takes 24 hours.
“Herka is a person who hates troublesome things.”
“I know that too. That’s why I will definitely come.”
Bertha laughed lightly.
“You are confident. Do you think you are that important to Herka?”
“Do you think Lord Herka won’t come?”
“Even if you want to come, you won’t be able to. “My calling is to subdue monsters.”
Vincen looked at Bertha blankly and then opened his mouth.
“Would you like to bet with me?”
“bet?”
Versa hahaha! He burst out laughing.
None of Adenka’s successor candidates offered to bet on him.
“What would you bet?”
“If you lose the bet, you will lose your mother’s trust. “Then it’s as if I’ve lost everything and I have nothing else to bet on.”
Bertha nodded.
That was right.
Vincen himself suggested a bet to Bertha.
If you were to offer a bet to Adenka’s hostess, you had to be sure you would win.
If I lost, I had to be prepared to lose everything.
“Then what do you want?”
“I hope your mother will forgive my rudeness.”
“Despite?”
“You asked why I asked you to postpone the promotion exam, but I didn’t answer.”
It was a novel way of pointing out exactly what he said, ‘The person in charge is Herca,’ and asking for forgiveness for not saying why.
“That is a very pleasant offer.”
So I waited.
24 hours passed, and Herka visited Adenka’s home.
* * *
News came that Herca had passed through the south gate of Adenca.
I would find this place within an hour at the most.
“You won.”
Bertha laughed.
“I forgive your rudeness.”
“thank you.”
“Why were you so sure that Herka would come?”
“Because my mother encountered Lord Herka through paper, and I encountered it with my own eyes.”

If you look at the documents, Herka is busy without a second’s notice.
Every day, he takes the initiative and goes out to subdue dangerous monsters.
But Vincen knew.
In fact, Herka is not passionate about subjugating monsters, but rather does not want to deal with the administration of the Red Fortress.
“If you were that passionate about subjugating monsters, you wouldn’t have taken time off to eat seasonal whipped cream cake.”
“Seasonal whipped cream cake?”
Anyway, Vincen won the bet.
Soon a knock was heard.
“This is Herca.”
“Please come in.”
When Herka came in, Bertha pointed to the paper on the desk.
“You will have heard the circumstances upon arrival, and if you accept, you can sign.”
“Of course, sister.”
“I am not the fortress commander’s older sister.”
After saying that, Bertha moved her body and went outside.
Vincen laughed as if it was fun.
“Vincent. “What’s so funny?”
Herka read the document half-heartedly.
It was a document stating that the promotion exam would be postponed.
“Mother said Lord Herka would not come.”
“Why is that funny?”
“Is Lord Herka hated by his mother?”
“I don’t know, I think so.”
Herka signed the document as if she was annoyed.
“ruler. “Okay?”
“There is important information on the back page, aren’t you going to look at it?”
“Well, it must be something important.”
She grumbled to herself.
“I heard that everyone lives a very complicated life when it should just be okay. “Procedures and administration.”
Herca came closer to Vincennes.
I looked closely at Vincennes’ face.
“That’s strange. Bertha really hates acting like you. “Why does she think she likes you?”
“Does your mother like me?”
“If I didn’t like it, do you think that sister, who has no flexibility whatsoever, would have done this?”
Herka tugged on Vincen’s cheek.
“Is it because he looks cute? “What on earth is the secret?”
“Does Lord Herka want to win his mother’s favor?”
“ok. But I gave up halfway. Even if you try for 20 years, nothing is impossible. “I like her, but she absolutely hates me.”
Vincen laughed again.
“I will let you know later if I find the reason.”
“Okay, now what? ruler. “There must be difficult words written in the document, like formalities and such, right?”
Vincen shrugged his shoulders and tried to explain the whole story and the contents of the document.
“it’s okay. You don’t have to explain. “No, don’t do it.”
“but… … .”
“What is that expression?”
Vincen and Herka’s eyes collided in the air.
Herka read Vincen’s thoughts exactly.
“hey. “Do you really think I ran away because I wanted to blame everything on our faithful Lord Vargon?”
“… … Wasn’t it?”
“do you want to die?”
“If the commander of the Red Fortress kills a cadet, it will be a very big problem.”
“Hmph. “Aren’t normal cadets supposed to be a bit intimidated by the fortress commander?”
“Then you won’t be disappointed in me?”
“… … .”
Herka kept her mouth shut.
“The little thing speaks well. Anyway, I saw the contents of the back page.”
Vincen was startled.
‘When did you see the back page?’
Vincen couldn’t read Herka’s movements at all.
Herka yawned loudly and stretched.
“So, with the authority of the general manager of the Red Fortress, I plan to accept the request of Sir Dulan, a second-class priest. Of course, the person carrying out the mission is you, Vincen.”
Vincen didn’t mindlessly ask Bertha to postpone the promotion test.
This was possible thanks to the request of second-class priest Doolan.
Dulan requested close escort on the way to the Great Temple of Gaia.
It was said that if the escort was successfully completed, a letter of recommendation would be written to allow access to the ‘Tomb of the Holy King.’
Since it was an official request from a second-class priest, Vincen had sufficient justification.
“But you know that, right? “Are second-class priests being killed the most at this time?”
Now a competition between second-class priests takes place.
Second-class priests belonging to the Gaia Temple are gathering at the Gaia Grand Temple.
There were the most assassination attempts during this period.
“This is a mission that is too risky for a single 9th grade cadet to undertake. If someone gets killed, who will take responsibility? “Aren’t you going to tease me and harass me for giving such an important person the rank of a 9th grade cadet?”
“… … “What do you want to say?”
“I have no choice! I have to follow along too. As a manager.”
“Lord Vargon would be against it.”
“Lord Vargon? why?”
“There is a competition for second-class cadets this coming winter.”
They are also promoted to level 1 through competition and promotion exams.
It was customary for the general manager to also be deeply involved in this process.
“Lord Vargon is very sincere. Hehe. “He’s a good friend who can do well on his own.”
“… … “I think the sound of Lord Vargon slamming the desk can be heard from here.”
“So, I planted an anti-magic resistance magic stone on the desk. “That way, you won’t break your desk and work harder.”
Herca stroked Vincen’s head.
“Anyway, you did well. amazing.”
“Is it my fault that the conversation lacks context?”
“I hear that often.”
Herka smiled and continued speaking.
“That unlucky old man deserves to die.”
“It seems like you dislike Tilovan very much.”
“uh. He wanted to make me his concubine. I heard he lost his appetite while looking at me. “You look like a dirty old man.”
“okay.”
But Vincen could barely feel it.
There seemed to be a separate reason for Herka’s dislike of Tilovan.
“Why did you tell me that Elder Thilovan and Elder Holliman were friends?”
“Did I teach you that? when?”
“… … .”
Vincennes did not ask any more questions.
Herka also did not comment further on this matter.
A day passed.
After completing his investigation into Elder Thilovan’s black magic, Dulan steered his carriage to the ‘Great Temple of Gaia’ for the competition.
Bertha came out in person to see Dulan off.
“Is there a reason you singled out Vincennes?”
“I inherited the power of the Holy King. I am confident in my ability to recognize people. “Vincenten will be able to protect me well.”
It takes about a week by carriage from Adenka’s main house to the Great Temple of Gaia.
Since the road was well paved and passed through cities with good security, there was actually no major risk.
“It feels as if you deliberately asked me to write a letter of recommendation for Vincen.”
“That’s not entirely wrong either.”
A week has passed.
Fortunately, there was no assassination attempt.
Dulan entered the Great Hall safely, and thanks to that, he was able to receive a letter of recommendation to enter the ‘Tomb of the Holy Kings’ within a day.
“I just passed by trivially. “I was expecting an attack, but it was disappointing.”
“Rumors quickly spread that Lord Herka was with us.”
“I guess thieves don’t have any distribution these days.”
“So are you returning to the Red Fortress now?”
“That’s right.”
Herka’s shoulders slumped.
It seemed like he didn’t want to return at all.
“But the tomb of the Holy King. “You’re on your way right now, right?”
Vincen took out a map from his arms.
“It goes around quite a bit… … .”
I didn’t see Herka’s movements.
The map shattered into pieces.
“Ego! I know the road well. “I will guide you.”
Herka walked ahead.
Vincen looked at the back and was lost in thought.
‘Julian. What do you think?’
There was no reply from Julian.
The conversation I had with Julian over the past week lasted only a few words.
‘It doesn’t seem like he’s just messing around because he doesn’t like his job.’
This was an instinctive sixth sense.
Herka seemed to have a reason to go to the ‘Tomb of the Holy King’.
‘If I notice this, shouldn’t you explain it in detail and logically?’
Still no answer was received.
Another two days passed.
We arrived at the tomb of the Holy King, managed by the Holy Knights.
When I presented the recommendation letter, I was able to move inside without difficulty.
Herka exclaimed with admiration.
“You can’t believe you built a tomb with such a ridiculous waste of labor.”
I saw an entrance made of stone.
That place was the ‘Tomb of the Holy King’ in the true sense.
A place where the Holy Grail and holy water are said to exist.
The entrance was very dark.
“But are you really going to go in?”
“That’s what I came here for.”
“You know there are people who went in, but no one came out, right?”
“yes.”
“Okay, okay, we cadets should have that level of distribution. Have a nice trip. “Let’s show off the handsomeness of a 9th grade cadet in the Red Fortress.”
Vincen walked toward the dark entrance without hesitation.
Herka looked at the back for a long time.
After Vincen disappeared into the darkness, Herca spoke softly.
“Indeed, a child with the last name of Adenka entered the tomb of the Holy King. Now you do your job.”
