Episode 757 Yeo
Ha-ryun continued.
“A martial artist can’t grow grain in a field, but he can instantly kill the bastard in front of him, right?”
That was also correct. Yeo Ha-ryun said.
“Instead of the oppression of the minority for the sake of the majority, the personal violence of the extremely powerful has taken its place.”
The human being Yeo Ha-ryun sees is somehow so bleak that destruction feels like rest.
Jin Cheon-hee answered.
“But there are also groups that fight against injustice. “I fell into a different path once, whether it was Shaolin or Hwasan, but I was like a shaman.”
“okay. There is also Baekrin’s angle. But I am confident that it will be easier to stop him with blood than to persuade him to sacrifice one person for the sake of the many.”
“yes. “I guess the opponent is a xie jiao.”
“If we become weaker than a xie jiao, we won’t be able to stop it.”
The trust that is so revered in the world is ultimately only possible with strength.
Since he couldn’t deny that either, Jin Cheonhee nodded.
“Because that is strong self-respect.”
It occurred to me that Confucianism had somehow found its place in the central plains, which were based on the principle of power.
Yeo Ha-ryun said calmly.
“Even if you use people as firewood, in the end, if you don’t have the strength, you can’t stop it. “That is why the Sun and Moon God Church prioritizes strength above all else.”
“For that strength, you feed a child loneliness.”
Yeo Ha-ryun does not deny his brother’s words, which hit the nail on the head.
“okay. The current Protestant religion ignores doctrine in favor of means. “It was the thousand that made it.”
“Nevertheless, the Demonic Cult is the best outside of the new world.”
The world where miracles truly occur is a very strange place.
A world that denies the saying that ‘humans are equal from birth’ from the beginning and is piled up with countless corpses.
Nevertheless, the night sky is extremely beautiful.
Even now, I would stop walking and look blankly at the sky.
While I thought that the light flickering with the wind was like a human life.
The congressman was so fascinated by it that he couldn’t look away.
It was a powerhouse.
In addition to birds, there were also strong players.
It is a vast darkness that flickers and sparkles and fascinates people.
In other words, it was the essence of humanity.

We finally arrived at the mining town.
There were mining sites connected to the stone mountain, and what appeared to be Buddha statues carved out of stone were also seen.
“Is that a soda rock?”
“no. Soda stone is weak to water, so it shatters when exposed to rain. “That’s just a stone.”
It was a fairly large city.
It has a large population, reportedly about 10,000 people. That’s just the manager’s guess, and considering the times, the actual population may be higher.
When we arrived at the mining town, a boy blocked our way at the entrance.
The boy’s clothes were not flashy, but they were neat and he felt like he was living in a fairly wealthy place.
As soon as the boy looked this way, he took a deep breath and shouted with all his might.
“Go back–!”
“hmm?”
As soon as his eyes met with Jin Cheon-hee, the boy continued to shout.
“go back! Don’t come in! “This is no place for you guys!”
It didn’t seem like they were territorial.
First of all, I didn’t throw any slings.
Sure enough, someone started running behind the boy.
“young master! “What are you doing there again?”
Looking at his behavior, he looked like a soldier. The boy clicked his tongue and ran away, shouting again.
“You! Leave this city quickly! “Otherwise you will die!”
The soldiers ran after the boy. Some of them approached Jin Cheon-hee.
“welcome. Welcome to Natron City. “I wonder if our master was so mischievous that he said something strange…”
“If you are a master… do you mean that little boy from earlier?”
“You are the son of the Lord of Seong. “Maybe it’s because he’s still young, but he’s very lively.”
Jin Cheonhee thought.
‘If you don’t want to die, go back. He learned to say welcome the Kangho style.’
In a village that is normally in a bad state, it is polite for a child to come out and issue a threat like this.
After thinking that far, Jin Cheonhee lowered her eyelashes and smiled kindly.
“Well, it’s usually like that when you’re young. I’m really late in introducing myself. My name is Governor Jin Cheon-hee, who came from the Hua Empire for trade. His Majesty’s personal letter is also here.”
He said that and handed me a personal letter.
“ah! When I saw the big dog, I wondered if it was a blind white saint! “Such an honor…”
Jin Cheon-hee’s story seemed to be known quite far away.
The soldiers said.
“I’ll show you inside. “Please follow me.”
* * *
Jin Cheon-hee silently followed the soldiers.
There was no sign of surprise or anxiety on his face at seeing the child.
Jashi scatters the sand he was holding along with the wind.
Along with the sound of the bone necklace clinking, a whispering sound was heard in Jin Tianxi’s ear.
[That’s quite kind.]
‘Electrical sound? No, it’s different from Jeonum.’
Jin Cheon-hee realized immediately.
‘This is witchcraft. ‘It was something that could convey one’s intentions through magic.’
Jashi was doing things that would normally be impossible for a shaman, but with great ease.
Is that because Jashi burned his life to use gold jutsu? Or, I couldn’t tell if there was a separate spell like this.
Jin Cheon-hee responded with a full tone.
[Can’t I be kind?]
[When I came here a few years ago, they weren’t that kind.]
[This person could be a kind person, right?]
Jashi sees the smile on Jin Cheon-hee’s lips.
[You guys have no idea what’s going on. First of all, don’t relax.]
Jin Cheon-hee nods her head slightly, barely visible.
Soon, the electric sound rang again from Jin Cheon-hee’s side.
[Is there anything that feels magical?]
[Nothing. It might be hidden somewhere.]
Jin Cheon-hee’s eyes roll.
Soon, Jin Cheon-hee asked Yeo Ha-ryun.
[Ha-Ryun. What about your subordinates?]
[I told them to disguise themselves as superiors and sneak in first, but they can’t be seen. Strange.]
[Um… did you lose contact?]
[Losing contact itself is a common occurrence during an ambush. First, I have to find it through the black cat.]
‘Okay. First of all, the situation is strange in many ways.’
I don’t really feel like being suspicious of people the moment I see them, but isn’t this a town I came to because I was suspicious in the first place?
In a way, it was natural for things to turn out strangely.
Jin Cheon-hee just rolled her eyes and quickly looked at the facial expressions of the villagers.
“Oh, is that person a blind white saint?”
“You’re amazing at such a young age!”
Everyone who came out to see Jin Cheon-hee was busy laughing and talking.
The children gained weight and the adults had straight teeth and good complexion.
That was definitely a good thing, but it was also a strange thing.
‘The food situation would not have improved right away as the rinderpest disease had just been resolved…’
Jin Cheon-hee grabbed the soldier and asked.
“Was there no food shortage here?”
“Don’t even talk. We were probably the ones who suffered the most from food shortages. “It’s a city centered around mining, so there’s no food…”
The soldier sighed and shook his head, remembering that time.
Jin Cheon-hee asked.
“But you’re full of energy now, aren’t you?”
“sure! “The Maitreya Church gave us salvation!”
The salvation that Maitreya, or rather, Maitreya & Blood Mission, can provide was very diverse.
Not only salvation in the dictionary sense, but even the claim that death is salvation.
“What does this salvation mean?”
Jin Cheon-hee asks straight to the point.
The soldier answered.
“Well, that’s difficult for me to answer.”
“Is that so?”
“yes.”
The soldier only said that much and did not say a single specific word.
His attitude as if his mouth was locked only deepened my suspicions.
Finally.
Jin Cheon-hee was able to arrive at the residence of the city’s lord.
* * *
“My name is Nakrantik, the lord of the castle. “White saint.”
The huge white palace was covered with precious glass.
It was extravagant, with wave patterns from the colorful glass sculptures to the drinking glasses they were holding.
But the strange thing is.
‘Why is there no food?’
There was only a little alcohol and no meat or fruit.
He said.
“I’m sorry I didn’t prepare anything. The food situation is still not good. “Now that the rinderpest has been resolved, things will get better soon.”
“it’s okay. “The alcohol is fragrant.”
“I heard that you solved the rinderpest problem, so I would like to thank you on behalf of the people.”
Jin Cheon-hee waved his hand at those words.
“It’s no big deal. Rather, I am just happy to be of help to the kingdom like this.”
Jin Cheon-hee humbly accepted it.
Seongju nodded as if he liked Jin Cheonhee.
“I’m just saying, Governor Jin is different from the other envoys of the Fire Empire. Not only is he fluent in our language, but he is also humble.”
The previous episode is a story about criticizing an imperial envoy, but Jin Cheon-hee is familiar with it.
Literally, every time I came, I was told to give me the glass, was there any gold, and gave me the silver?
“Hahaha, thank you for watching.”
“I received a letter from Your Majesty, but I was told to hear the details directly. “Why did you come all this way?”
Finally, to the point.
Jin Cheonhee put down her drink.
“I came here because I wanted to import soda stones in large quantities. “We also decided to receive tax exemption benefits.”
“Even tax exemption benefits? Actually, if you are a saint who ended the great disaster, you should receive that much benefit.”
After saying that, the king said something to his subjects.
The subject nodded and quickly wrote the letter.
There was no way Jin Cheon-hee was lying, but she was definitely sending it to check just in case.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“How are the soda stones produced bought and sold?”
“As the mayor, I have jurisdiction over everything. “Private mining is illegal.”
“As expected.”
middle age. The majority of mines such as salt, iron and copper are usually owned by the state.
Alternatively, mining may be done by private citizens who have purchased the rights from the state, but here it seemed to be managed directly by the mayor.
So milgwang.
There is something called wheat chae. It means making money by mining without the government’s knowledge.
“We also agreed to receive a portion of the mine’s shares.”
After saying that, he handed me a document with the king’s seal and showed it to me.
Seongju shows it to his subjects. The subject looked at it with a magnifying glass for a while and then nodded.
It meant it was genuine.
“The king is very generous. How much do you plan to save?”
Jin Cheon-hee handed over the documents prepared in advance.
“This is the amount we want per year.”
“Hmm… I think I’m going to take it big from the start. “How on earth are you going to use this?”
“I plan to use it for medicinal purposes.”
Seongju nodded at Jin Cheonhee’s words.
“Soda water is perfect for rinsing the mouth and digestion. It is also used in laundry. “It’s also good for embalming.”
“yes. “We want to save as many as we can.”
There are hardships that have been endured so far.
I wanted to tear everything off if I could.
“Hehehe. I can’t help this. I understand. “There are a lot of soda stones anyway, so all we have to do is add more manpower!”
‘Oh thank you for the cool deal.’
Seongju was truly a generous man.
He invited people and held a banquet. There was no food there either, only alcohol.
However, no one seemed hungry.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“First of all, I would like you to stamp the trade license.”
“Wow, you have an impatient personality. Are all envoys of the Fire Empire like this?”
Something bad is about to happen.
Jin Cheon-hee, who had experienced numerous uproars, knew.
Before anything explodes, you need to leave a signature or stamp on it!
‘Anyway, is it normal for a city where even children don’t eat?!’
Only a contract, a big and beautiful contract, can save him from the mess ahead!
Seeing Jin Cheon-hee like that, Yeo Ha-ryun sent a message.
[Usually, when I realize something is strange, I try to run away quickly and don’t try to get a seal first.]
[Ha-Ryun. Listen. If that happens, all the hard work will be of no value. Later, when that guy turns into a monster or a monster and causes trouble, and a new castle lord takes over, you have to show him.] [
…What kind of mess have you gone through? [My brother.]
Man, you went through it too.
It’s a shame I can’t remember.
