Episode 193. Peace in Our Time 3
Paldin Koa is the master of the ranch and the master of the workshop. He is also a top veteran who has been called upon many times to fight against newcomers due to his exceptional strength.
In other words, the Minister of Livestock and Industry, and the Minister of Road Transport and Highways, who also transports goods. He also took charge of the production of donums, and produced weapons, etc. The work is very diverse and varied.
As expected of Paldin Core, who is naturally kind and responsible, he has faithfully carried out all of his tasks, and to a considerable degree (this is because Shinbi is an ancestral spirit and continues to accumulate experience), but now, after the war, he has been given a new burden.
“Great herder. Please take our tribes under your command.”
“Hmm… … .”
It was the Animal Tribe and the Water Tribe that requested submission to Paldin Koa.
Originally, there were many animal and beast peoples in the Eron region, the Bap region in the North Sea, and Baekara.
Since the names Animal Tribe and Water Tribe are used interchangeably among the people of this world, it might be confusing, and since the people of this world also call them differently, I ended up using them strangely interchangeably, but if I organize the settings, it’s like this.
A ‘werewolf’ is a human who has acquired the animal spirit of a wolf.
A ‘werewolf’ is an animal that has acquired the animal spirit of a human.
In other words, werewolves are humans with hair on their base and ears and tails, while werewolves have a skeleton that can walk on two legs and have an animal-like but half-human appearance. You could call it the difference in furry levels.
Of course, neither of them are objects of discrimination in this world. Rather, they are objects of envy.
So, are you saying that these people are born with a mystic nature?
Werewolves not only look like wolves, they are also fast, agile, have teeth, claws, a great sense of smell, and no particular weaknesses.
And werewolves not only walk on two legs, but also have human intelligence and suppressed wildness, so in a way, they are a ‘superior’ type of human.
The porter Gaart who accompanied Waiki was also a camel man. And he was not discriminated against at all. Rather, he was jealous and said, ‘How can humans win when they were born as camels?’
The reason why animal mysteries are treated so well is because in every region, in the process of domesticating or rather interacting with creatures, fearing them and worshipping them, holders of animal spirit mysteries naturally emerged.
Because the second superhuman in history, Bark Mazado, was also a wolf spirit holder.
However, these races failed to form a nation.
There are many reasons, but first of all, animal worship is a very old belief.
Secondly, because only polychaete creatures, or in other words, animals that were ‘not very strong’ from a global perspective, could possess animal spirits.
In short, there is no scaly hippopotamus. There is no scaly elephant. That’s because scaly hippopotamuses and scaly elephants have their own mystical, or magical, body structures that they create, so they can’t create animal spirits.
But those… … . Those guys are really objectively too strong. Even during the great invasion of the dragon tribe in the mythical era, they were pushed out of the competition for survival because they couldn’t defeat the herbivores of the Dator region.
If they are strengthened with spirit water, it will be even better. Polymorphic creatures cannot be strengthened with spirit water.
In that respect, animal and mermaid races were inherently limited.
In the age of faith, if you pursue a faith other than that of animals… …you will lose the mystery. Then you will fall to a weak nation.
The water people are even worse. If they lose contact with humans, they just revert to being normal animals.
However, there were no new members of the animal spirit series. So they just continued their lineage by living as mercenaries, but after the war ended, their position became very narrow.
They request submission from Anlaier Paldin Koa, the only existing animal spirit mystic and also an adult and key leader of Datang.
All animal and water peoples in the northwest and south, except for some animal spirits in the east, ask Paldin Koa to be their representative.
“I understand. I will make sure that I become your leader.”
“Oh!”
Paldin Koa proposes a territory to the Datang side for himself and his endangered mysteries. The Northern Ocean Bap region borders Baekara, Eron, and Bapan Tab, and this territory exists as a buffer zone between the three.
The best octo is here, and all kinds of plains are good for raising livestock. The name is ‘Paldin Baff’.
“Independence?”
“Rather than independence, it’s more of an autonomous territory.”
“What are we going to do about the ranch?”
“They said they would come and check sometimes. In fact, it’s not like we’re going to destroy the ranch or kill all the cattle there, right?”
In the end, it’s not so bad. We’re giving away all that land for Faldin Core, who has done such great things.
Osozoin Gulmyeong was the frontline guardian who blocked the Great Forest. Naturally, his contribution goes without saying.
“It would be good to grant greater territory and authority to the Osozouin Gulmyeong.”
“It’s an honor. Come on. I won’t let you down!”
The so-called Daemokjang, Dimanang, Daesurim, Olsojora Desert, Mezza Desert (a salt desert created by Ol Chaun), and the north of Datang are all part of Osojo’s Gulmung. And the word Gulmung itself is also the name of a high-ranking position among local officials, such as Gulmun, so it is actually Gulmung’s job to supervise local officials in places like Eron and Baekara.
And with these territories and responsibilities, Gulm declared an ambitious undertaking.
“I mean, the red moon that created this great forest. It went up northeast and became the forest that separated Baekara and Iyakoro, and then it went up northeast again and connected to the east of Baekara? Since there are plants that grow in salt water in tropical regions, what if we created a huge forest that connects the salt desert, the great forest, and Baekara?”
It also serves as a restoration of the Baekara region’s environment. What was destroyed by All Chaun cannot be restored, but the natural desert can be corrected with artificial mystery.
Gulmyeong is going to create an incredibly huge forest by connecting the large forest in the west and the small forest in the east, and the salt desert in between.
In fact, this was a kind of welfare project.
“Honestly, there are too many soldiers, so there’s nothing to do. There’s not even anything to give the soldiers land to.”
“Then, there is no choice but to expand the territory itself. I originally changed the desert into a large forest. What can’t be done in Baekara?”
“Forests, swamps, fields… … No one dislikes places with lots of plants. Let’s promote greening.”
Instead of trying to rehabilitate soldiers with PTSD as an uncomfortable workforce, they are just being used as soldiers. Their descendants will be different from then on.
Even now, Gulmung sympathizes with the ideals of Ol Chaun. The old days were better. Compared to the time when he blindly admired Ol Chaun, there were times when he talked about independence, and it was a struggle to survive while dealing with both the Heavenly Kingdom and the Invincible One… … .
Gulmung keeps a harem of Datons around him who serve him, and as a pure-blood Daton and the Emperor of the Forest, he lives a life more luxurious than that of anyone in Datang, commanding both the Gigard tribe and the Lulmo tribe, who now live in large numbers in the north.
There were just two things that bothered me a little bit about that oyster.
“What is the name of the Mainirae (World Tree)? It seems like its status has gone up a lot these days… … .”
In Mainira, she is, so to speak, Gulmung’s partner. She is also the main reason why she cannot leave the forest.
The symbol of Gulmung is the scorpion and the tree. This tree, which was created by enduring the celestial bombardment of the red moon, is a gigantic tree that has lived for nearly 14,000 years. I understand that it originally had a great status, but it seems to have become even more so these days.
“Is this kid trying to shed his shell?”
The third molting. In other words, it is possible for Osozouin Gulmyeong and Mainirae to be placed on a similar level as Olchaun and Datang Oram at the same time.
I don’t think it’s impossible. Shedding is a concept. Since Mainira already has the status of an adult, it wouldn’t be strange if she sheds her shell a third time.
However, Gulmyeong tilts his head.
“Me too… … . I’ve become a lot stronger too. I think my third molt is also near.”
In fact, I had felt that way even before the war. Strictly speaking, Gulmyeong became an adult before Ol Chaun.
“But, I can’t. I can’t get over this wall. All of you said that if you live long enough, you can get over that kind of wall. But, in reality, neither the invincible nor the thousand-year-old have lived that long. Why can’t I get over it, but the thousand-year-old and the invincible can?”
And Gulmyeong thinks about something.
“Come to think of it, that guy Liwaduwan, it’s strange that he just backed down so easily… … When Seiwamuyu backed down because of the King of Mystery, he came to me and Paldin Koa and asked me to just agree to become independent, so I thought he was plotting something.”
However, even after ascending to the throne of Dakkerutang and ruling for several decades, he never committed any betrayal and even stepped down when Ol Chaun said he would do Dakkerutang again.
Looking at that guy, it seems like he almost met the conditions for the third molt. But Liwaduwan also did not molt.
Even though he took the place of the dagger-shaped soup, he did not shed his shell… … .
“Isn’t it true that you’re going to step down for the third time just to take the position of national leader? … It would be nice if there were more newcomers in Datang, but that’s a bit disappointing.”
When he returned home, Liwaduwan was greeted with the same warm applause as always by the Pachhar people.
Conversely, it is odd for the Nono tribe not to be welcomed at all, but honestly, it would be stranger if they were welcomed.
“Liwaduwan. You have truly done a great job.”
“yes.”
“It is all thanks to Liwaduwan that Datang has been maintained.”
“know.”
To be honest, it’s because Liwaduwan killed more of his own people than foreigners, if he hadn’t done that, there would have been no victory.
The invincible one would have been arrogant and would have taken over the entire northwest of Olsojora, and Cheon-geon would have taken over the entire region north of the isthmus. Shu-jor might have become the polar region.
However, Liwaduwan pushed his people madly to stop it and won the war itself. He deserves to be proud and show off.
So, this adjutant, the superhuman Patchar, also flatters like this.
“But… … . In the end, you didn’t become a rookie.”
“yes.”
Liwaduwan also knew long ago that he was close to becoming a rookie. Perhaps he could shed his shell if he gained some more qualifications.
But I can’t get over that wall. It’s a wall that the invincible and the thousand-year-old easily got over. Even though I was in the position of the national leader called Dakkerutang, it was still the same.
“Is it possible for a newcomer to do something without starting a country?”
“Maybe so.”
“If all the chaos disappears, Liwaduwan may become a new person.”
“that’s right.”
… … .
The Patchar adjutant felt something was off.
“yes?”
“That’s right. If I lose my cool, I’ll become a rookie right away. And I don’t know if I can do gulmyeong either.”
“… … Something. Do you know something?”
“uh.”
Adjutant Patchar asks cautiously.
“Are you going to attack Datang?”
Liwaduwan looked at the adjutant with a crazy expression.
“Why do all my adjutants seem to be encouraging me to betray them?”
“I’m sorry. Liwaduwan.”
Liwaduwan prioritizes governance. After three years of appeasing the people, he restores the Shuzor province with strict governance that is in line with Datang’s tone but controls Nono and Pachar, who are closer to the military.
If we are going to wage war, though, it is not now. The Second Siege of Mainilun is a long time away.
There is no reason to go to war for at least several decades.
13 years until the appearance of the reverse machine.
