Chapter 737
A message had been sent in advance that they would arrive at the royal capital, so people were already gathered outside the castle gate.
‘It feels like a mixture of East and West? It’s a round roof similar to Wanong’s, but the color is different.’
It was a pretty roof.
‘I’m curious how the colors were applied. ‘How does it get that blue like the sky?’
The light blue roof under the sky was very beautiful.
If I had a modern phone, I would have taken a picture right away and set it as my wallpaper.
Since this is a world without photos or phones, Jin Cheon-hee recorded everything as if she were copying it with her eyes.
The spicy smell of spices and the sound of words.
Even the volume of air touching the skin.
‘Now if I close my eyes, I can come here anytime.’
Xuanyuan Zhendan Xingong remembered everything.
From what I could see, a man dressed in elegant clothes had come out and was waiting for the group.
“Emissary of the Shang Dynasty, thank you for your hard work in coming this far. “My name is Prince Radan.”
Even the language of the Hua Empire.
Jin Cheon-hee was shocked by his polite demeanor. And then I realized.
‘ah! The Hua Empire is a gangster!’
Tribute diplomacy.
Tribute diplomacy means that the Chinese Empire is treated as a superior state by neighboring countries and receives tribute from them.
The Sukshin people are a nomadic people and do not often gather in large numbers in the first place, so they are not recognized as a nation at all.
This is because it is viewed as a kind of tribe, not a country. So, wars occur frequently.
However, other countries around the Hua Empire have territory and their countries have existed for a long time, so they naturally do not want to go to war with the Hua Empire.
‘The Hua Empire has a gangster population.’
So, the pre-modern conventional diplomatic method.
They pay tribute and claim to be a subordinate country. This is tribute diplomacy!
That’s why we welcome Jin Cheon-hee, who has officially brought in the security forces.
It is to treat the merchant country well.
‘This is this… Is it similar to when an envoy from the Ming Dynasty came and made a fuss during the Joseon Dynasty on Earth?’
Korea is a country of records.
Even the envoys of the Ming Dynasty probably did not know that what they did on the day of their death would be included in the annals.
Since it has been registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is taxidermied until the destruction of mankind.
‘Well, I have no intention of coming to the planet Murim and causing trouble like that. Anyway, I think I understand why the Admiral told me to learn strange manners.’
Jin Cheon-hee got off the horse, hugged him, and slightly lowered his head.
This is the etiquette that an envoy from the Hwa Empire, a superior country, should show to a person from the Kingdom of Damjin, a lower country, and this should also be done in front of the king.
Officially, Jin Tianxi is someone who has received some of the emperor’s authority.
You must never bow your head deeply!
“My name is Jin Cheon-hee, and I hold the position of governor in the empire. “Thank you for welcoming us here.”
“It is truly an honor for someone renowned for his faithfulness to visit my country. Please eat inside.”
The palanquin was ready.
It was a palanquin that could seat two people on either side, and was carried by 16 people.
‘I think I saw this in a movie a long time ago… I was the emperor of a certain empire who shouted that he was generous, the king…’ As I
got on that luxurious palanquin, Ladan naturally got on the seat next to me.
It seems that it was made specially to greet envoys coming as diplomats.
As Jin Cheon-hee climbed into the palanquin, Hwanggu naturally followed next to her.
On top of him, riding very naturally, was Yeo Ha-ryun, carrying a black cat on her shoulder.
The concussion suddenly became very small and climbed onto Jin Cheon-hee’s shoulder.
“You are a very great divine beast. “Even in our kingdom, we have never seen such a divine beast.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha. “Our Hwanggu is a bit majestic.”
The dog received the praise, but the owner’s mouth widened.
“Hwang-gu, thank you.” “Thank you~”
Jin Cheon-hee answered on Hwang-gu’s behalf by imitating his voice. That’s the way it is.
Beep!
Noejin got irritated as if asking why he wasn’t praised.
I couldn’t help it.
Its size has become smaller and its fur has turned black, making it easy to mistake it for a crow. As a result, it is difficult for people here to recognize me.
I thought about spewing lightning, but that somehow seemed lame to my spirit pride.
Puhuu~!
The trumpet sounds. While passing through the huge gate of the royal castle, a band came out and was playing.
Is it okay to do this even though it’s rinderpest? In my thoughts.
“By the way, Governor Jin.”
“yes. Prince.”
“Is there a reason why you came separately from the guards?”
A sudden, sharp attack!
‘As expected… it’s not a paper tiger.’
One country. These are people who have one huge group. It makes no sense to say that there is no spy network.
In addition, there was cooperation from the kingdom in catching rinderpest, so it was only natural.
“I know a little bit about witchcraft, so I traveled a bit to learn from him. “I felt like it would be a nuisance if I moved with the guards, so I went alone.”
truth. But it wasn’t the complete truth either.
However, the prince did not question any further, but smiled strangely and nodded.
“After all, you deserve to be called a saint. Now go. “I will guide you to the VIP room.”
The palanquin enters the royal palace.
* * *
Palace. When we arrived at the VIP room, the sun was already setting.
“Ah… I’m tired.”
“There are times when you get tired too.”
“I hate this kind of thing. “I do it because it’s something I can’t not do.”
“My brother is now a high-ranking official of the empire. “You better get used to it.”
“Hey, it’s someone else’s business… isn’t it? “Now that I think about it, something like this would happen because you are the head of a small religion.”
“….”
Yeo Ha-ryun smiled faintly instead of answering.
“okay. “It must be different from when I moved around alone.”
Jin Cheon-hee said that and rolled over on the bed.
This area is very beautiful and luxurious with its embroidery and carpets. Just lying on it feels luxurious.
“…Anyway, what do you want to do?”
“What do you mean?”
Jin Cheon-hee gave up on Yeo Ha-ryun’s words and only spoke to the point.
“Shall we investigate separately? I’m at the palace. “You are in the city over there.”
With just those words, Yeo Ha-ryun realized his brother’s intentions.
There was no need for a long conversation between the two anyway.
“I guess that would be good. “The brothers of our church are already in this royal capital.”
“good. “Then I will ask you a favor.”
“i get it.”
Yeo Ha-ryun said that and sat down on the window.
“Brother, take care of yourself.”
“Let’s stop worrying.”
At that moment, Yeo Ha-ryun’s body falls backwards.
I was surprised and looked out the window to see that Yeo Ha-ryun had already disappeared.
“Hwiwoo~”
I don’t know how a person made of flesh and blood can assimilate to darkness so much, but whatever. Because it’s Yeo Ha-ryun.
Jin Cheon-hee decided to think so.
‘ruler. Then… I guess I can take a day off today and meet the king tomorrow?’
Jin Cheon-hee thought about how to make the presentation tomorrow to conclude trade on better terms.
No matter how important it is to treat people.
I had worked so hard, but I couldn’t go back empty-handed.
* * *
“We welcome envoys from Shang Dynasty.”
King of Damjin Kingdom.
His name is Radant.
Since the prince’s name was Ladan, Jin Cheon-hee thought that it was probably a form of inheriting the name of Dolrimja.
“It is truly an honor to meet the benevolent King of the Damjin Kingdom.”
The old king smiled softly at Jin Tianxi’s words.
This is because Jin Cheon-hee did not speak the imperial language but spoke fluently in the language of the Damjin Kingdom.
The king thought.
‘It is normal for envoys from the empire to act arrogantly, saying they are envoys from the upper kingdom. To the extent that they only speak the language of the Hua Empire.’
However, Jin Cheon-hee spoke directly in the language of the Damjin Kingdom and praised King Radant himself as being benevolent, so I couldn’t help but feel surprised and admirable.
“okay. What brought you to this kingdom? “It is still too early to send tribute, and the situation in this kingdom is not very good.”
Why did you come when our house was ruined and there was nothing to eat?
We already know why we came.
Nevertheless, the reason I keep repeating this is because it is a formality in diplomacy.
“His Majesty, the Emperor of this Empire, is very concerned about rinderpest, a livestock infectious disease, circulating in the Kingdom of Damjin. “It was known that the minerals needed for the empire come from this dam, so I was dispatched to resolve the rinderpest problem and facilitate trade.”
The eyes of the old and decrepit king give off a bright glow that is different from their appearance.
“Solving rinderpest? Your actions have already been reported… Do you really think that rinderpest can be completely resolved? It is a punishment and a disaster. It will only sink if you use a great magic ritual… Is there a way to do that?”
Great magic!
Jin Cheon-hee also traveled around this kingdom, which was more than half of the desert and wasteland, and got a good idea of how this town worked.
Beware of witchcraft!
There are certainly types of magic that cure diseases.
These people are called healing magicians, but the problem is that their ability to treat diseases is not that great.
This is because if one famous healing magician treats three critically ill patients a day, his or her magic power will be depleted.
If a famous person can do that, what about an ordinary healer?
For that reason, the healer from whom Jin Cheon-hee learned magic in the Kingdom of Dadu was definitely a person who revealed money, but his magic power was enormous.
‘To the extent that Jashi admits it.’
In that sense, it is probably possible to calm down rinderpest with great magic.
‘In this country, where human sacrifices are common, large-scale human sacrifices will probably be used.’
If you didn’t know about witchcraft, you already know how witchcraft flows in this town through Jashi.
However, Jin Cheon-hee knows the future roughly by reading novels and has learned magic, so she knows that it is not proper quarantine.
‘It’ll probably happen again.’
It was so frustrating to change people and use magic that it was impossible to even succeed.
‘Is that really the only way?’
First, Jin Cheon-hee delivered the handout she had prepared in advance to the king.
“Please look at this first. majesty.”
This is statistics made up of basic knowledge about vaccination and its results.
However, the king answered like this:
“I understand. “I will have a subordinate review it later.”
It meant I didn’t want to see it. And on the other hand….
‘You’re trying to make a human sacrifice.’
A state in which the mind has become somewhat hardened.
It had to be stopped somehow.
But how do you persuade someone who has no intention of even looking at basic statistics?
One thing is certain.
If persuasion fails here, people will become firewood.
In the end, Jin Cheon-hee decided to bring out a secret weapon that has been around since ancient times.
“Would you like me to bring it to you?”
Jin Cheon-hee gestured backwards and an attendant brought out the items. It was a centrifuge.
“What does that thing do?”
“Please take a look.”
Jin Cheon-hee even drew his own blood and put it into a cylindrical glass.
“Is it witchcraft?”
“Are you showing me a new spell?”
This is also the reaction.
Jin Tianxi’s face was hot, but it was better than someone dying anyway, so she spoke with a shameless expression.
“Well… you just need to look at this.”
I eagerly grabbed the handle and quickly turned it round and round.
As I added the internal energy and spun it around, the blood gradually began to separate into three layers. At first glance, it appears to be two layers.
