Standard of Reincarnation - Chapter 91
The Standard of Reincarnation Episode 91
Doolan doubted his eyes.
It was true that paladins could benefit from the prestige of the temple on their backs.
However, the man in front of him was a warrior who had reached a level so high that he did not need the prestige of a temple.
However, Doolan will become his own paladin.
“Are you familiar with Adenka?”
Merlin is one of the few warriors in Adenka.
Because he was one of the 12 swords, one of the main pillars of Adenka.
“Of course I know.”
“What is the reason?”
“To help those who need me.”
“Are you Confucius Vincen?”
Merlin remembers clearly.
The image of Vinchen who earnestly said that I also needed a teacher.
He should have died in the tomb of the King Seong.
It was because he had accomplished all his missions at that time.
“yes.”
“You know that there are many inconveniences in becoming a paladin, right?”
The rules are strict compared to the general samurai.
Also, you must swear allegiance to the priest you serve, and you cannot prioritize your personal interests over the interests of the temple.
Also, having private property is extremely limited.
“Do you know that a non-temple has to make a huge amount of money to become a paladin?”
“of course.”
Merlin opened the subspace and pulled out a leather pouch.
“100 million Ludens.”
This was Versa’s gift to Merlin.
It was also the last favor given to Merlin, who was leaving Adenka.
“You know that from Merlin’s point of view, it’s like putting your own limbs in shackles, right?”
“I am a soldier who has been doing orders all my life.”
But the order was not always right.
“I need the right orders. Sir Doolan. Can you give me the right orders?”
“…”
Doolan was silent for a long time.
“I think I can at least give orders for Prince Vincen.”
“That’s enough.”
I thought this was much better than the empty promise.
Merlin had been moving under Adenka’s orders until just yesterday.
As long as Merlin was a soldier in Adenca, he could not fully support Prince Vincenzo.
Because Vinchen had already fallen outside the eyes of the elders.
“If you can’t always be right, that’s the next best thing. I will be your article. Please perform the paladin ritual.”
Doolan nodded.
“I will appoint Sir Merlin as my paladin. I fully understand why Sir Merlin wants to become a paladin, and I will not disappoint Sir Merlin and Prince Vincen. You are the commander of the Holy Knights from now on.”
Doolan brought out a palm wand and tapped Merlin on the shoulder.
It radiated divine power and covered Merlin’s body.
Merlin said soon.
“Lord Doolan has entered into a great fight. The process will be very lonely and bloody.”
“I am prepared.”
Merlin sighed, looked around, and spoke cautiously.
“Do you know Sir Ayman?”
“of course.”
Merlin’s expression darkened.
Aiman was branded as a traitor who betrayed Nelliuk and sent to Mailtium.
He was a priest who went missing after meeting Vincen.
“I have Sir Ayman with me.”

The evening before leaving for Hellaim.
Wilson hurriedly came running.
“Confucius! Confucius, Gongja niii!”
“Why are you making such a fuss?”
“That that that!”
Wilson was so breathless that he couldn’t speak properly.
Behind him stood a woman with a calm expression.
The 3rd Princess of Adenka and the 1st class representative was also Hena.
“I hear you are leaving for Hellaim tomorrow.”
“Yes, sister. But what are you doing?”
“Two years ago, I was dispatched to Hellaim. In recognition of my merit at that time, I received a pass as a gift from the head of Hellaim.”
What Henna held out was a blue jewel.
“It’s a pass that allows you to freely travel to and from all provinces ruled by Hellaim, so keep it.”
“…thank you.”
“No thanks. It’s just compensation for taking some of your credit.”
Henna turned her back after handing over the blue jewel.
“sister. This alone seems to be insufficiently rewarding for me.”
At those words, Wilson flinched.
He always feared Henna, acting like an emotionless machine.
Hiding behind Vincen.
“What do you want?”
“Please give me your sister’s picture.”
about 10 years ago.
There was a faint but bright memory on the other side of Yulian’s memory.
While talking with Henna, it suddenly came to my mind.
Henna from 10 years ago had drawn a picture of Julian, who was 4 years old.
“You are talking nonsense.”
“My appearance has changed a lot from 10 years ago.”
“…”
Henna was silent for a moment.
She originally wanted to be a painter.
But it is a very old, faded, old dream.
Since he was born as a direct descendant of Adenka, it was just an impossible utopia.
“I still cherish the picture my sister drew 10 years ago.”
-Who said you treasured it?
‘It’s been 10 years, but it’s in very good condition. It’s as if a preservation magic was cast.’
– I didn’t cherish it that much, did I? Please don’t misunderstand me
Vinchen still remembers that day.
The time when the cherished portrait was discovered.
When the portrait fell to the ground in ‘The Blood Spirit King’, Yulian was greatly embarrassed.
– It’s nothing like that. Don’t be distracted and focus on the main topic.
It was like a child who had a secret he didn’t want to know.
Vincen laughed.
‘It must have been a very precious memory for you.’
So I said it again.
“It is one of the few precious memories for me, sister.”
“…”
“I am always grateful for the good memories.”
Henna answered briefly without turning her back.
“Finish your mission and return to the Red Fort.”
“Then will you draw a picture for me?”
No answer came.
Looking at Henna moving away, Vinchen spoke loudly.
“You promised me, sister!”
Henna, who had been moving away, stopped for a moment.
He said it as if he had suddenly remembered it.
“There will be people to help you.”
* * *
The Helaim family was an influential family that formed a great power by absorbing and merging many neighboring families.
In the southern part of the continent, it enjoyed as much prestige as Adenca, and the walls were very high and strong.
In addition, it was known that the entry procedure was quite difficult compared to the domains ruled by other families.
We arrived at Musdom, the western province ruled by the Helaim family.
Wilson condescendingly held out a pass made of blue jewels.
It was a jewel given by Henna.
“Ahem, our Confucius is such a person.”
“Please go in.”
The guards let Vincen’s group through without any special inspection procedures.
‘Is this the Moose Dome?’
Moosdom was a small to medium sized city.
As in other cities, the main street bordering the city gate stood out.
Heavily armed soldiers could be seen marching in ranks throughout the streets.
Seri looked around.
“The atmosphere is quite bloody.”
It felt like a military town.
After two days, I was able to roughly grasp the atmosphere of this place.
Large and small demonstrations took place sporadically throughout the city.
They were holding little yellow flags in their hands and crying out for freedom.
Seri’s expression darkened.
“There are more protests than I thought, and the suppression process is violent.”
“okay.”
Vincen asked inwardly.
‘Isn’t it strange?’
-yes. great
I witnessed 4 protests in 2 days.
Many citizens waved yellow flags demanding freedom.
‘What’s going on in Hellaim, why are they doing that?’
The protesters looked desperate, and the unmanned soldiers who trampled on them seemed to be steeped in madness.
– The situation is more serious than I thought, but it is not known at all outside.
There is quite a bit of bloodshed going on.
At this point, other influential families might intervene.
Even if that wasn’t the case, reporters from news magazines would tell the horrors of this place, but that wasn’t the case either.
The situation was strange in many ways.
next day.
Vincen met a boy holding a yellow flag.
I asked him about Laurent, but I couldn’t get the answer I wanted.
“It must be a Hellaim soldier, right? You know I will be fooled!”
the boy ran away
It was the same for others.
The people of the Civil Revolutionary Army did not open their hearts to Vinchen, who seemed unmanned.
“It’s not that easy.”
Se-ri gave Vinchen comfort, not consolation.
“Can’t it be interpreted that Confucius is exuding the prayers of a worthy warrior?”
Another day passed.
For safety’s sake, Seri and Wilson waited at the inn.
‘The priority is to find out the location of the Citizen Revolutionary Corps headquarters and Laurent.’
While walking down the street, Vinchen found a girl from Hellaim trampled on by a soldier.
The girl gasped and cried for help.
“Help me too!”
Eventually, the girl seemed to have lost her mind.
Mu-in grabbed the girl’s hair and dragged her into a deserted alleyway.
-Hey bro. great?
‘That’s right.’
Vinchen followed and laughed.
– It’s like the world’s worst acting troupe.
When I saw it through the eyes of Vinchen, who had gone through all the prenatal battles, their movements were clumsy.
It was the sloppy movement of a person who had never actually kidnapped, and there was no fear in the voice of a girl crying out for help.
Now, it was clear that this situation was fabricated.
‘Do you think you want to twist me?’
-I think so.
‘Then I have no choice but to hang out with them.’
Vinchen walked behind and said.
“Is that enough?”
“What are you? Are you a protester too?”
“….”
“Why are you interfering and making a fuss?”
He swung his fist at Vincen without hesitation.
After grabbing the warrior’s fist, he threw it to the floor using that power.
The unmanned fell to the floor.
He kindly and in detail revealed his identity.
“How do you deal with civilians and civilians who have received the grace of Hellaim? Do you have even two lives?”
It was as if he was anxious to reveal his true identity.
I couldn’t figure out the exact intention, so I gave an answer.
“Aren’t you ashamed to treat ordinary people without any weapons so violently?”
“noisy!”
Muin brushed off the dust from his clothes and stood up.
He diligently spit lines that seemed to be stereotyped in the play.
Seeing through the eyes of Vinchen, who has gone through countless battles, without knowing how awkward it is.
“You touched it wrong. How dare a low-level citizen block a high-level citizen? Not even being blessed!”
“blessing?”
“Experience. What grace is!”
The warrior took out a small marble from his bosom and put it in his mouth.
At the same time, white steam began to leak from his body.
“This is the grace of the chosen ones.”
Their words were awkward, as if they were doing unfamiliar acting.
Aside from the fact that this situation is quite comical, strange things started to happen.
