The World of Sound - Chapter 174

It was a mystery and an awe-inspiring event in the martial arts world to skip the beginning of the flower world and go straight to the realm of the mature flower world at the peak of the climax.
If someone had heard that story, it would have been natural for them to dismiss it as nonsense.
Strictly speaking, we can’t say that the intermediate process was completely skipped, but that’s still the case.
Because it has reached a ripe state in just half an hour since I set foot on Hwagyeong.
But, it actually happened.
When Bukgungyeon, who had been floating around in enlightenment for a while, opened her eyes again, her world had changed a lot.
“Mother, what about mother?”
“He seemed to need stability, so we moved him to the palace. We mobilized all the power of the palace to treat him, and I just heard that he regained consciousness.”
“ah……!”
The remnants of the Demonic Cult were all defeated, and Bukgungyeon’s mother, Hamurin, was taken to the Ice Palace for treatment, receiving the utmost hospitality from the Ice Palace warriors.
Only Cheonhwa, the spirits, and the Ice Palace Lord were there to make sure Bukgungyeon was not interrupted in his path to enlightenment.
“Thank you.”
“What about gratitude? We should be the ones to be grateful.”
“… … ?”
“Let me formally greet you. I am grateful to you for protecting our Ice Palace and for giving us so much in return, even though I am lacking and unqualified, but I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the Ice Palace.”
Bukgungyeon expressed her gratitude for the consideration, but Binggungju bowed her head, saying that she was more grateful.
Bukgungyeon couldn’t hide her embarrassment because it could be considered a formality, but Binggungju was steadfast and Cheonhwa didn’t stop her.
‘The speed is good. I bow my head to this.’
Bukgungyeon was lost in her enlightenment and did not know the circumstances between them, but Cheonhwa knew.
As for the North Sea people, as for the Ice Palace warriors, they may be grateful, but they are not in a position to bow their heads and express their gratitude to the Ice Palace Lord.
“Let’s move for now. He will be waiting.”
But there wasn’t enough time to tell Bukgungyeon all the details.
Bukgungyeon, who had gained enlightenment and grown greatly, was anxious to quickly check his mother’s condition with his own eyes rather than confirm his own inaction, so he decided to move to the Ice Palace to talk again.
“Yeon-ah.”
“mother!”
Bukgungyeon, who arrived at the Ice Palace Palace, had a touching reunion with her mother.
The only strange thing is that Hamurin, she was sitting on the throne of the Ice Palace Lord.
However, Bukgungyeon, who was preoccupied with reuniting with his mother, did not notice it.
Even if she is the mother of the benefactor who saved the North Sea and the Ice Palace, sitting in the position of the Ice Palace Lord is a completely different matter.
“Hmm, should I call you Ice Palace Lord now?”
“Call me whatever you want. I am now nothing more than a mere Ice Palace warrior. The Ice Palace Lord was only a temporary title until I could reclaim the Eternal Ice Palace.”
“Hey, that’s not true. Isn’t there a way to treat the previous generation with respect here too?”
“Yes, there is. There is a ceremony to bury her in the sacred lake. The position of the princess is usually inherited when the previous princess dies. Or, do you wish for me to die?”
“Uh… I didn’t know that.”
Ice Palace.
The woman who had been called that until about an hour ago was no longer the Ice Palace Princess.
He stepped down from his position as the Ice Palace Lord and gave his position to Hamurin.
Because the old princess came back to life?
No. It was a pardon, not a reinstatement, as we said when we pardoned her as a criminal.
It wasn’t like she was given back the position of the princess, and of course, she wasn’t going to hand over the position of the princess that would have been hers originally.
However, there was only one reason why he stepped down from his glorious position as the Ice Palace Lord and gave it to Hamurin.
Because she has the eternal ice crystal.
It was because the Mannyeonbyeongjeong acknowledged her as a princess.
“Meet the new king of the North Sea!”
The reason why the Everlasting Ice Crystal was called the treasure of the North Sea and the sacred water of the Ice Palace and Ice Palace State.
That was because the Everlasting Ice Palace decided the owner of the Ice Palace on its own.
Therefore, any unmanned person in the North Sea could become a princess if they received the approval of the Everlasting Ice Palace, and blood relations were of no advantage.
Of course, the princess is the most outstanding person in the Ice Palace, so it is common for someone with her bloodline to be recognized by the Mannyeon Bingjeong and become the next Ice Palace Princess.
So after the disappearance of the Eternal Ice Palace, the Ice Palace lost its owner.
However, since the position could not be left vacant, the position of the princess was temporarily assigned to the most outstanding ice palace warrior.
With the mission to restore the eternal ice cap.
That is why the princess attempted to go to the Central Plains twenty years ago, and why the princess could be replaced without any problems after the princess Hamulin, who was the princess at the time, fell from power.
However, even Cheonhwa could not figure out why Hamurin, and not Bukgungyeon, was chosen as the master and Ice Palace Lord of Mannyeonbingjeong.
“mother?”
“Yeon-ah. Wait a minute.”
But to the Ice Palace warriors, that meant nothing.
The Everlasting Ice Palace has returned, and there is a new princess chosen by her.
That’s why everyone recognized Hamurin as the new Lord of the Northern Ice Palace.
I had no choice but to admit it.
Even though it had been quite some time since the Eternal Ice Age had disappeared, the law was still strict.
Also, now that the Ice Palace Lord has become the previous generation, he has decided to acknowledge and follow him.
“Listen, all North Sea people.”
“yes!”
“Give your order!”
Hamurin also knew that and accepted his position.
If we were to judge purely by brute force, I wouldn’t be confident in beating even the Little Princess, let alone the Ice Princess of the previous generation, but she was also a person from the North Sea who had spent most of her life in the North Sea.
Also, perhaps because she had a history of holding the position of princess in her past, the way she gave orders seemed very familiar and natural.
“I’m sorry, thank you. And I ask for your continued support.”
“Don’t say such things. The position of the Ice Palace Lord is that of the North Sea. We will only follow those who are worthy of the title.”
“Then, as the princess, I will give my first order. My first order is… … the pardon of all sinners.”
“?!”
“Your Majesty. That is… … .”
Everyone seemed to be happy to follow the new Ice Palace Ruler, but confusion arose from the very first order given.
Pardon of all sinners.
That was something that even the Ice Palace warriors, who showed absolute loyalty to the princess, found difficult to readily agree to.
“Their sins are not forgiven only because I am a sinner. They are sinners who committed big and small sins against the Ice Palace and the North Sea, but they are there because they reflected on their sins and followed the laws of the North Sea. It would be truly cruel not to give such people a second chance. They will have ways to be more active and constructive in helping our Ice Palace with their own abilities, so I will allow them to atone for their sins, but if they commit sins again in the future, I will punish them more severely.”
“… … I will obey your command.”
However, after hearing Hamurin’s story, he showed some signs of agreement. This is because the sinners played a significant role in this battle as well.
Even though they had no martial arts skills, they devoted themselves to protecting the North Sea and the Ice Palace, and especially when they were fighting the Ice Demon at the end, it was effective to release the criminals from their bondage.
Since he already has a high level of loyalty, he accepted the status of a criminal and served the North Sea while being treated inhumanely his entire life, so everyone knew that this would be somewhat acceptable, even if there was some noise.
“Also, we will abolish pure-bloodism.”
“Your Majesty. That is… … .”
But the next statement was the problem.
Abolition of pure-bloodism.
Because it was one of the greatest and most severe laws of the North Sea.
There were some who opposed it for a moment because it was to the extent of immediately removing the status of Princess Hamurin, the current Princess, but at the same time, many realized that it was ambiguous to oppose it.
Because the new princess, Hamurin, is the one who broke that law.
Also, his daughter, Bukgungyeon, was here as a benefactor of Bukhae and Binggung.
“It is right to correct what is wrong. Wasn’t pure-bloodism originally meant to protect and maintain the power that the North Sea gave us? However, that idea has been proven wrong. Look at this child. Didn’t he receive the blessings of the North Sea and the North Sea spirit more than anyone else? If we realized that what we believed was wrong, it is right to correct it now. That is the will of the North Sea, not mine.”
There Hamurin drove a wedge in.
I found out about the Ice Spirit Delay.
Maybe he knew it since birth. He may not have expected it to be this bad, but he knew that Bukgungyeon had an amazing constitution that was almost a natural punishment in the Central Plains, but a blessing in the North Sea. But maybe he left it in the Central Plains because he lacked the strength and status to protect it.
So, if it seemed like I couldn’t hold out any longer, I would have asked to be sent to the North Sea.
Even though he was a criminal, he must have been determined to save Bukgungyeon’s life by sacrificing everything, including his own life.
But now he has enough power and status.
That’s why I was able to make this argument, and it was empowering.
“Although the Mannyeon Bingjeong has designated me as the princess, I know that it was because of this child’s concession. Also, the next princess will undoubtedly go to this child, the original owner. For the sake of the future princess, I will end this bad habit from my generation.”
The first order to pardon all sinners was also, if you think about it, intended for Bukgungyeon.
Although his crime was forgiven by the previous princess, the crime of Bukgung Yeon, who was tied to the same crime, remained.
Of course, the current Bukgungyeon is not a Binggung warrior but a Jungwon person, so he is not detained by the law or wears the mask of a criminal.
However, if she insisted, it would not have been impossible, and it would inevitably become an obstacle if she wanted to ascend to the position of princess in the future.
It was Hamurin who resolved it in her capacity as the princess.
It was intended to free us from the bondage of sin by not only forgiving our previous sins, but also by deleting the relevant laws.
‘That’s what it was.’
Cheonhwa, who had been quietly listening to the story from the side, nodded as if he understood.
This is why Mannyeonbingjeong chose Hamurin as his princess instead of Bukgungyeon.
It must have been because Bukgungyeon had rejected it unconsciously or during the treatment.
Even though it is an eternal ice crystal, its will is ultimately the thoughts of the great ice spirits within it, so it communicates, sympathizes, and becomes one, understands their meaning, and reaches a conclusion that matches her wishes.
Hamurin also knew it and did not bother to hide it, and Bukgungyeon also seemed to have guessed it and silently supported her despite the focused gazes.
I never thought of becoming the Ice Palace Princess, but I didn’t refuse because it would give my mother strength right away.
Rather, he proved it by pulling out the sword of the Ice Spirit.
Hwaaaaak-!
As soon as the Ice Spirit appeared, the expressions of the Ice Palace warriors who had been ambiguous completely changed.
There was no way they, who had devoted their entire lives to ice training, would not know the energy they felt from her.
The ice ball of the North Sea is different from the Ice White God skill that the Ice Palace is proud of, but its power and purity are real.
No one could disagree that he was the power that best suited the position of Ice Palace Master.
“Therefore, I have enfeoffed this child to the position of Princess, and you must treat her as if you were me.”
“Meet the Princess!”
Finally, when the declaration was made to appoint Bukgungyeon as the new princess, everyone simultaneously prostrated themselves before her.
The previous princesses, and the previous princesses.
I was worried that they might feel resentment or anger at having their positions taken away, but there was no sign of that at all.
Rather, he was truly happy that the eternal iceberg and its true owner had returned to the North Sea and bowed his head.
The return of the Eternal Ice Age meant that time in the North Sea, which had stopped, was starting to flow again.
It was clear that ice crystals and ice jade, which were no longer produced, would be produced, and the power of the Ice Palace warriors would also advance.
I don’t know what will happen to the Mannyeon Geumgu who secretly stole it, but since he was called the guardian deity of the North Sea, it will probably end appropriately.
If you think about it, it was thanks to that guy that Hamurin was able to ascend to the position of princess again, so he could be passed over without being punished at all.
‘I’ve already gotten everything I could from the Ice Spirit side.’
In that sense, it might have been a shame to give up the treasure he had, the Eternal Ice Crystal, to the North Sea, but surprisingly, Cheonhwa did not do that.
I have no intention of giving it away for free, and thanks to Bukgungyeon, my understanding of the Ice Spirit has deepened significantly, and now I have reached a level where I have completely mastered it.
Bukgungyeon was able to become one with the Ice Spirit, but he was also able to do it himself.
Rather, since he had advanced enlightenment and the ability to communicate, it didn’t matter even if there was no such thing as the Eternal Ice Crystal.
So I thought it would be a gain if I exchanged it for other valuable treasures from the North Sea.
Since the princess and princess are on his side, wouldn’t he be able to get a good share of it?
Cheonhwa was already smiling brightly.
