A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 481
Overwhelming Power (1)
An unexpected visit to the palace by Lize. I don’t know what variables she will create, but if it’s good, it’s good. It’s not bad.
The Tatars were quite free, as they visited as guests and friends of Kara, while the Huan Empire was not.
Above all, we need to have a solid insurance policy since we are entering the tiger’s jaws.
Even though he is a prince, he cannot do anything useless as long as he has a saint, Lize.
I can do whatever I want, but I could have used some cheap tricks on Dan Ye-rin.
However, as I mentioned earlier, since it was an unscheduled visit, Lize decided to go separately.
He added that it was just a waste of time and that it was purely a coincidence that we met.
“I wonder if it was just a coincidence. Did you really have to come today?”
“I know.”
“You have come to our empire at this time… Did you receive a prophecy from Chaos?”
The carriage heading to the palace. Dan Ye-rin and I exchanged opinions.
As it is a carriage used by the princess of the empire, its size is much larger than an average room.
There’s even a bed installed, so it kind of feels like you’re riding in a camper van.
There was also very little shaking, so I could feel comfortable all the way to the palace. As expected, high-ranking officials wear good things.
“Chaos does not give prophecies.”
“Hmm. Well, all gods are like that. Come to think of it, I wonder if they offered sacrifices to the heavenly gods.”
“Heaven? Are you talking about the Gulag?”
“That’s right. In the East, Gulag is called the Heavenly Goddess, and Gaia is called the Mother Earth. Chaos is chaos.”
I’ve heard it. I thought they were names that suited each of them well.
It is not strange to offer sacrifices to the gods, as it is a custom that has continued from ancient times.
Then you might ask, why don’t they offer sacrifices to the Mother Earth? The East has a much larger population than the West, and agriculture is the most important.
So, it is better to offer sacrifices to the Earth Mother, or Gaia, but… To be honest, it is difficult to attach much meaning to it.
Unlike the rain that pours down from the sky or the lightning that enriches the soil, the land existed as it was in the beginning.
When Gaia is angry, she just says, “Oh well. I guess there’s nothing I can do,” but when the drought is severe, she begs the Gulag.
Moreover, unlike Gaia, if Gulag pleases the sacrifice, he releases it, saying, “Okay. I will send rain and lightning.”
‘What is chaos······’
Chaos likes it when people have a will and do something.
Or you can find a toy that suits your taste. I am a prime example.
But this was a long time ago, and recently I was able to understand a little bit why he chose me.
A descendant of a demon that could never exist in the world. This alone is reason enough to be chosen by Chaos.
“Shivar.”
“Yeah. Tell me.”
“Please be careful when you go to the palace. It will be annoying if you find fault with me.”
“I’ll pay attention.”
“Don’t have any accidents.”
“Think about it.”
I won’t listen to you telling me not to cause trouble. When I said it indirectly, Dan Ye-rin snickered.
She also seemed to completely trust me and no longer question my actions. Or she gave up.
To be honest, it would be psychologically easier to give up. Professors are the first example.
I struggled to control myself somehow, but it only ended up causing creative accidents.
In the end, didn’t they treat me like a siege weapon during the test? That was really fun.
“By the way, that’s interesting.”
“what?”
“It’s the outfit. It suits you surprisingly well.”
“Ah. This?”
The clothing that Dan Ye-rin mentioned. It is an oriental style clothing, and it is also the traditional clothing of the Joseon Dynasty.
It was the kind of clothing that scholars would wear, and it was something they did to show ‘courtesy’.
Of course, the Imperial Palace, or rather the Crown Prince, would be annoyed by this. The Federation States were already raising their voices.
Besides, by now you’ve probably heard that the Federation is preparing for rebellion. Even the Crown Prince isn’t a complete idiot.
“suited?”
“It suits you. If no one is watching······”
Dan Ye-rin mumbled the words and closed her eyes in half. It was a unique, night-time look in her eyes.
I had no choice but to pretend not to notice those eyes. I think I have a rough idea of what’s in those words.
‘There must be someone listening······’
It seems like they’re doing it almost openly now. I hope this doesn’t cause problems later on.
Anyway, while the subtle atmosphere continued, word reached my ears that they had arrived at the palace.
Then, the servant opened the door for me and I took my first step into the palace.
“Is this okay?”
“Hehehe.”
When Dan Ye-rin got off, I held out my hand. She smiled and took my hand as she got off the carriage.
“Oh······”
After getting off the carriage, the sight of the imperial palace that I looked around could be said to have truly revealed the majesty of the empire.
The palaces of the Tatars were built of stone and were magnificent, but they did not feel colorful, but the palaces of the Huan Empire were different.
It seemed that the oriental architectural method had been used to reveal a modest yet hidden nobility. Of course, that does not mean that the Tatar palace was bad.
Each building fully displays its own unique personality and culture. Whenever I see something like this, there are things I wonder about.
‘How could they build such buildings with the technology of this era?’
The people here probably had it a lot easier thanks to the existence of mana and magic. But this isn’t Earth.
It was hard to believe that such a magnificent building could be built using only bare hands and various tools.
‘People who have served in the military say that the pyramids were actually built by people.’
I took a quick look around the palace and followed the attendant along with Dan Ye-rin.
Most of the people inside the palace were warriors, servants, and vassals.
However, most of the subjects did not greet Dan Ye-rin. They just pretended not to know her and passed by.
It’s not just that he ignores Dan Ye-rin, but he also pretends not to know her in order to save his own life.
‘If you find fault with anything, you’ll be punished right away.’
Prince, Danjucheon’s reign of terror has already worked effectively. It’s a problem because it worked so well.
A madman who does not forgive anything that could tarnish his power, but at the same time is tolerant.
So, I tend to be cautious when talking to my siblings, and I tend to accept straightforward advice that comes across as rude.
This is one of the reasons why Danjucheon was chosen as the next emperor. Because he knew how to be tolerant.
If he had not been able to do that, his subjects would have revolted and beheaded him.
“Come in, little brother.”
“······Brother.”
The place the servant brought us to was none other than in front of Danjucheon. And it was in front of the audience room.
Standing proudly in front of the audience room where the Emperor greets you. You probably know what that means.
I am already standing in front of the throne, so crawl as you wish. Dan Ye-rin cannot help but know what that means.
“Are you the bodyguard chosen by my younger brother this time? Just as the dragon said, you have a healthy body.”
Now it’s my turn. Danjucheon looked me up and down and treated me like a big shot.
Beneath that bold-looking face lies a ferocious temperament. A lion-like spirit.
I took that into consideration and answered in a blunt voice.
“yes.”
“You’re blunt. I’m sure you’ll be fine as an escort.”
“thank you.”
“Contrary to rumors, he is also polite.”
If it’s a rumor, it’s a story about a wild man. I have a rough idea.
After that, Danjucheon offered us a simple meal, but Danyerin immediately refused.
Even though there was a recipe, there was no way of knowing what was put into the food.
Moreover, it is possible that the poison was injected, causing symptoms to appear several days later.
“Brother. Where is the saint? I thought she arrived first.”
“The saintess has some business to attend to and is currently taking a quick tour of the palace.”
“Are you saying that you are alone······?”
In response to Dan Ye-rin’s question, Dan Ju-cheon shrugged his shoulders and acted coquettish.
“You are a distinguished guest, so I should do that much for you. I also heard that you are checking on Abamama’s condition.”
“··· ···”
“This is not the time. Don’t we have work to do?”
I have work to do. I’ll just get rid of you. That’s what it sounded like.
Dan Ye-rin glanced at me with an uneasy expression after hearing that. Even if I had assured her, she would still be uneasy.
But I’m actually looking forward to it. I’ve always wanted to touch the dragon’s beard, and now I can do it ‘properly’.
Danjucheon probably doesn’t even know that and just blindly trusts Yiryong.
‘however······’
As I followed Danjucheon, there was something I had a question about. However, it seemed like a somewhat rude question.
This is even more so when compared to Dan Ye-rin right next to her. It is even more so because it is a part that was not even mentioned in Soul World.
‘Are you a little······short?’
Danjucheon was a little, no, a lot shorter. So much so that he was more than two heads taller than me.
The appearance is quite handsome, reminiscent of a lion, but the head size and proportions are not good.
Dan Yerin is tall for an Easterner, has big breasts, and… well, she has a great body.
‘Yerin.’
‘Why are you doing that?’
‘Do the two have different mothers?’
‘······?’
So I asked him directly, so Danjucheon wouldn’t hear.
Dan Ye-rin looked beyond bewildered to my question and quietly asked back.
‘Why are you asking that?’
‘No. It’s just······ they seem too different. The height and proportions.’
‘Well······ My mother was quite beautiful······ You.’
Dan Ye-rin looked at Dan Ju-cheon’s expression and then carefully opened her mouth.
‘Why do you insist on using the imperial language when you can just use the common language?’
‘uh.’
I hadn’t thought of that.
‘Yeah. Why?’
This time, did you change your language ability instead of your race?
