Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 149 - Visit our temples

Ren also called for Iselv, Kithra, and Stephan. He told Iselv to learn noble etiquette from the fallen nobles. He then ordered Kithra and Stephan to help Iselv in running Grenton. He gave the three of them some of his initial ideas on what to do. The main point focusing on two things, education and military might.

For Education Ren wanted to use the mansion of a dead noble family as a school. This school would focus on teaching reading and writing as well as basic arithmetic. The teachers would be people from the fallen nobles who have pledged to follow him. The school would be free, and children below the age of ten will be required to attend. Even older children or grown men can attend if they wanted to. As long as they wanted to learn, they are allowed to study. The budget for this would come directly from Ren\'s pocket. With the money from his dungeon clear, and the one he got from selling information Ren had enough money to invest on this endeavor.

As for the military, Ren wanted to train the local soldiers to become a force that resembled his army back in his demon lord days. He asked the Regalcrags the family of warriors to train the local military of New Grenton. He also ordered them to convince those who failed to become adventurers to join the military instead. After giving out his orders Ren started to prepare for his trip.

...

While Ren was getting ready to leave for the Marquis\' estate, he was visited by some unusual people. Galius had brought along two women, that had the stink of divinity on them.

"Ren, allow me to introduce to you the two holy maidens from the temples of the War God and the Goddess of Justice. Holy maiden Rachel and Holy maiden Natasha."

"It is an honor to meet you, Sir Ren." The two holy maidens who usually bickered with each other actually bowed and spoke in unison as they showed Ren actual respect. Galius who knew what the two holy maidens were like, was shocked to see such a sight. It wasn\'t his fault as anybody who knew the two would react in the same way.

After his initial shock, Galius saw the confused expression on Ren\'s face. He immediately understood that Ren didn\'t know what holy maidens were, the same as Valdel.

\'What was I expecting? Of course, if Valdel didn\'t know then Ren who came from the same village shouldn\'t know as well.\' Galius then proceeded to explain to Ren what holy maidens were.

\'Holy maidens?... That\'s new... Back then only heroes could communicate with the so called Gods and Goddesses.\'

"So what do you want from me?" Ren asked the two holy maidens in front of him.

"Can you please come to the temple of the War God Hieus. The God I serve wishes to speak to you privately, and the only way he can communicate with you directly is if you are inside his Temple." Rachel said with the utmost respect since her God ordered her to deal with Ren as if she was dealing with Hieus himself.

"The same could be said for me. My Goddess, The Goddess of Justice Tiditte wishes to speak to you as well." Natasha knelt down as she requested Ren to come and visit.

Ren was about to ask why these divine beings wanted to speak with him when suddenly he heard two voices talking inside his head. One of the voices was a familiar voice.

"Hieus? He actually became a God, and a God of war no less! Hahaha, that\'s hilarious crybaby Hieus took the position of a War God." Leo\'s voice echoed through Ren\'s mind. Ren wanted to ask how Leo knew of Hieus, but he was interrupted by another voice.

"So that little girl I took in became a Goddess and one of Justice. As expected even after all these years she couldn\'t let it go." This voice sounded way more mature than Leo.

\'So tell me, how the hell do you people know these God and Goddess?\'

...

While Ren was communicating with his past incarnations, Galius, Rachel, and Natasha were looking at him. The three of them simply thought that Ren was trying to decide on what to do, so they waited for him to finish thinking.

...

\'So you\'re telling me, these God and Goddess used to be humans you know.?\' Ren didn\'t know that a mortal being could take the titles and abilities of Gods and Goddesses, by defeating them or inheriting the title. Of course, he could never imagine a mortal being actually defeating a diving being, well that was before he knew of the past incarnations he had.

Most of his past incarnations were powerful beings that could toy with Gods and Goddesses. They were mortal beings that were proclaimed to be the strongest of each of their respective generations.

"Yeah, I\'m guessing Hieus was forced to inherit the title God of War, I can\'t ever imagine that kid beating A God, much less one suited for War. If you can, you should visit his temple. I really want to hear the story of how he became a God of War." Leo gave his opinion on the subject.

\'How about you?... What was your name?\' Ren asked the other voice in his head.

"I was called Murosaki Hayato, regarding Tiditte she was my adoptive daughter. I taught her everything I know. Unlike Leo\'s acquaintance, I fully believe that my daughter, the most talented person I have ever met would easily defeat a Goddess and gain her title. As for going to her temple and talking to her, I would let you the current incarnation decide."

...

After remaining quiet for quite some time, Ren finally looked about ready to speak. He glanced at the two holy maidens and gave his answer. "Alright, I will visit your temples, but only after I\'m done with the things I need to do here."
