, the destination of humanity (4),
Sirone had a dream.
Jeonseungmong.
In dreams, time is not important, but the amount of data he receives is enormous.
Such a huge story.
This was the realization that a man called First Yora gained in the midst of a terrible tragedy.
It was around the time when humanity ended its tribal life and a centralized system began to emerge.
“Whoa, it’s hot.”
Tyrants abounded, and the lives of the ruled were much more miserable than Sirone’s world.
A time when many philosopher seekers raised questions about life and preached their thoughts.
“It’s because it’s so hard to meet people.”
Yo Lahan, a twenty-year-old seeker, was also wandering the world with the will of seeking salvation in his heart.
He opened the lid of the water bottle and lifted his neck, but all that fell was a single drop of water.
“Tsk tsk tsk.”
I was very thirsty after climbing the mountain path, but I couldn’t find any place to drink water.
“This… if I do it well, I’ll die?” After saying that, I burst out laughing haha.
“Still, it’s a good life for me. “There are countless lives suffering from tyranny.”
War again war.
The ambitions of those in power were endless, and conflicts with other countries broke out every day.
‘The war must stop.’
Some say we need to change the political system and others say we need to change the capital system.
‘There is a limit to what can be sustained by the sacrifice of a few. If everyone just showed a little consideration, wars would stop.’
He believed in the human heart.
“good! “Let’s go!”
Don’t you have to meet someone to explain this?
It was two days later that I first felt something ominous during the exciting hike.
“Huh. “Huh.” Even though I have been to many remote areas, this was my first time in an area as completely isolated as this.
‘Where on earth… is this?’
There weren’t even common animals to be seen, just trees and grass.
I studied herbalism, but this was my first time seeing a plant, and yesterday I ate it by mistake and got diarrhea.
‘Dehydration is getting worse.’
Have I lost my mind?
It seemed as if Yorahan had spent another day in the intermittently returning consciousness.
‘Is this how it ends?’
It was a pity that he left without being able to carry out his wishes, but it was not unfair.
‘There must be someone who thinks the same way as me. Anyway, what can I say? ‘It wasn’t popular.’
At that time, it was impossible to even imagine how close to impossible Yorahan’s dream was.
‘I feel drowsy.’
Just as I was about to accept eternal sleep, I heard the sound of stepping on the grass, and then someone called.
“What are you doing here?”
Yorahan opened his eyes and the faces of a beautiful adult man and woman appeared in his field of vision.
“Four people…
I resented my hoarseness.
“Save people.”
After exchanging glances, the man and woman shrugged their shoulders and asked Yorahan again.
“How can you save me?”
“Water, some water. “Something to drink… please… please.”
“water? “There is water in the village.”
The woman asked while Jo Lahan was in despair and seemed to be out of breath at any moment.
“Can’t you stand it?”
I thought about what I would do if I couldn’t bear it, but he was already nodding his head.
“all right. “Just wait a moment.”
The woman closed her eyes.
At first, I thought he was praying for his soul to rest in peace, but something surprising soon happened.
Trees everywhere began to shake, and countless water droplets began to come out of their leaves.
‘what? ‘Is this a dream?’
It was a time when magic was the preserve of a few, so I had no choice but to think that way.
However, as water droplets fell from the open mouth, the brain secreted a powerful pleasure substance.
“ha. More, more…
“Let’s collect water and give it to you.” At the man’s suggestion, the woman collected leaves and glued them together to make a bowl.
“Here you are.”
As she poured water, Yorahan’s uvula throbbed as if it was about to pop out.
“ha.”
Can I describe in words what I felt at that moment?
‘I lived.’
I fell asleep like that.
Hearing the laughter coming from outside, Yora Han slowly raised his eyelids.
Birds were chirping.
As he thought about how it was the first time he heard a bird sound, he suddenly raised his upper body.
“What is it?”
Looking around, he saw a small hut and he was lying on a bed made of grass.
“Wasn’t it a dream?”
As I put my feet down on the bed, the tent opened and two people came in.
The boy and girl, who looked to be about seventeen years old, were beautiful, but what stimulated Yorahan was their sense of smell.
‘The smell of flowers.’
A human whose body smells like flowers.
They came in with water to wash and were surprised to see Jo Lahan awake.
“uh? Are you awake? “I have to tell the chieftain.”
“Wait a minute.”
When I called urgently, they stopped.
“I’m sorry, but where am I? What happened? “Did you guys save me by any chance?”
“no. The ones who saved me were my brother and sister. “I have to go talk to the chief. Can I go?”
The way he spoke seemed suspicious, but I thought Yorahan was just a mild-mannered person.
“okay. “It’s so shameless of me to save your life, but can I get some food?”
When my thirst was over, I was close to starving to death.
“Something to eat…
she thought for a moment and said.
“ah! There is food that Armand eats. Would you like me to bring you that?”
“Okay, thank you. “I don’t have money right now, but when I get better, I’ll do whatever I can to repay you.”
Not long after they went out, a plate of red meat came in.
“Now, eat.” Contrary to what he had imagined, the food was raw meat with only the blood washed away with water.
“Well, there are differences in culture from region to region, but it’s unique. “It would taste better if it was grilled over fire.”
“Hey!”
They flinched.
“The Hwa people do not use fire. Fire destroys everything. “Nature… and us too.”
“Hwajok?”
It was my first time hearing this name.
In any case, Yorahan did not feel any hostility, so he bowed his head to them.
“thanks. “I’ll eat well.”
“Well… then can I go report to the chief now? “I told you to tell me.”
“huh?”
Yorahan blinked.
“Weren’t you there?”
“You asked for food. So, of course I couldn’t come back.”
I finally felt strange.
‘Something feels subtly different. Is it a culture where caring for others comes first?’
If so….
‘God led me here. ‘This is an opportunity to test my thoughts.’
Yorahan said while chewing raw meat.
“Okay, go out and see.”
After confirming that the tent was closed, he swallowed the raw meat and put on his shoes.
“The mayor said it was a side dish.”
As I quietly left the hut, I saw the Chinese people smiling in the sunlight.
‘Hmm, it doesn’t feel hostile.’ The atmosphere, which was completely different from the village he had ever experienced, melted away the tension.
As he looked around the village, feeling the eyes of the Hwa people, he heard a fierce woman’s voice.
“Why are you bringing in humans!” Even the loud sounds that are common in human society seemed very foreign to hearing here.
‘human. You’re probably talking about me. So…
aren’t the Hwajok humans?
He walked to the cabin where he heard the sound and looked inside through the window.
‘wow.’
All the flower families were beautiful, but the woman sitting on the chair had even more elegance.
‘It smells good. ‘Is it a lotus flower?’
Chief Lutia said.
“Arman, don’t get excited. The Hwa people must help humans. “ That is the will of our ancestors
.”
Jorahan saw a woman named Armand.
‘scary.’
His fierce eyes and rough hair that reached down to his waist clearly distinguished him from other Chinese people.
” human?”
Armand slammed his foot down.
“You know how much those people persecuted us. “Isn’t that why we have to live hidden deep in the mountains, where no one can reach?”
“I also know the dangers to humans. But you can’t pretend not to see it. “If we understand and embrace them, they will one day cherish us.”
“I die before that. “We are all going to die.”
“Arman.”
“What will we do when that human wakes up? Aren’t you afraid of what they will ask of us? Are you going to run away this time? “Should we abandon the village we have nurtured for hundreds of years and run away?”
The extreme passivity of the Hwa people is as strong as humans’ desire for freedom.
“One person will be fine. And don’t we have Armand?”
Carnivorous plants are extremely rare in nature.
Eating meat requires hunting, which means having an active will.
“…It’s because I’m frustrated. Lutia doesn’t know. “There are strong people even among humans.”
Armand, who fought to protect the Hwa clan for a long time, never looked down on humans.
“Ordinary guys can stop it with Small World Changyu. But what if that man…
Armand, who was pointing outside the village, only then discovered Jo Lahan standing outside the window.
“you!”
Yorahan, startled, hid under the window, but Armand immediately came running out.
“I’m sorry! sorry!”
Armand grabbed Yorahan by the collar and dragged him into the cabin, as he kept apologizing.
“Aww!”
“You’re eavesdropping like a thief! “I will kill you!”
Armand grabbed the only metal longsword stored on the chieftain’s shelf.
It could not be used for anything other than hunting and fighting, but it was not a situation where there was a choice.
‘I heard all about the Hwa people. If this man were to exploit our characteristics…
there would be dire consequences.
As the razor-sharp longsword glowed above her head, Jo Rahan stretched out her hand.
“for a moment! “I wouldn’t go so far as to kill you!”
“shut up.”
As I was about to swing the knife, I felt my nerves starting to stiffen from my feet on the ground.
“Arman.”
Lutia said.
“You’re handling metal without my permission. “Aren’t humans the only ones that are dangerous to the Hwa people?”
The reason why Lotus’s lineage is the patriarch is because the power of Sose Gye Chang-yu is the strongest.
Because they were interconnected, it was a perfect compromise and persuasion that was neither active nor passive.
Armand lowered his sword sullenly.
“sorry.”
If the reason why humans are dangerous is because of the possibility of killing, Armand was not much different.
“Just go out and have a look.”
As Armand, who placed the sword on the shelf, left the hut, Lutia approached him.
“I’m glad you’re safe. Please sit down first.”
“Oh, thank you.”
Yorahan, who had already crossed the threshold of death several times, sat on the chair in a daze.
“As the chieftain, I want to ask you something. How did you get here? “This is a place where there are very few animals and a lot of poisonous plants grow, so people don’t come here.”
It was a village that was cultivated like that.
“Oh, I am a seeker. He is a person who travels the world and spreads his thoughts. But that doesn’t mean you’re unemployed! First of all, I only know a few subjects…
Lutia tilted her head.
“I don’t quite understand. “Don’t all humans share their thoughts?”
“Well, that’s a special idea. “Human direction and how we should live.”
“Hoo.”
Lutia showed interest.
“It’s a very unique job. “Can you tell me your thoughts too?”
Yora Han was embarrassed because it was his first time doing something like this.
“Well, first of all, the basic thing is love. Of course, substances
change a person’s mind…
Even while he was going on a tirade, Lutia was listening without even moving a muscle.
“…Something like that, haha! Actually, I’m not talking gibberish like this, but I’m just out of my mind.”
Yo Rahan’s expression, which had been joking, became blank.
“Over there’?”
Lutia’s shoulders, who were sitting rather low, trembled and tears streamed down her face.
“okay.”
She smiled like a flower in full bloom.
“It must be a really beautiful world.”
