Episode 106. The Journey to the South 2

Tataap. Or Tataap. It is a proper noun here, but it is generally called Maho (馬虎) in other places. It is said to be a tiger that the nomads ride like a horse.

However, if you look at its horns, it looks like a deer, and if you look at its hump on its back and its long legs, it looks like a camel.

Size and body type. Looking at its large mouth, it looks like a tiger. Considering the ecology of monsters, it is quite a reasonable form. It is an omnivorous creature. It eats fruits, meat, and monsters.

A similar species of smaller ones live in the east, while further north there are much larger and more diverse species.

But is it possible to domesticate them?

Well, the most accurate way to explain it would be to say, ‘There are species that can be domesticated.’

Maho is a term that has a very broad biological scope. Wolves and dogs are the same species, but wolves cannot be tamed, while dogs can be.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the Maho here have been domesticated.

They are in a group.

They know how to cooperate and communicate with each other in groups.

You can also extend that empathy to people.

It had a fairly high intelligence and could understand human speech.

Violence could also be controlled through education.

However, as a big prerequisite, the untrained wild nature was as dirty as a tiger, so a very long period of breed improvement was needed.

To be honest, it wasn’t a big problem for the best in the world.

“Kuaaaaang!”

“Be quiet.”

F*ck!

They’re vicious creatures and all, and they’re all down with one punch. And these are the kind of creatures that can be disciplined with violence.

“Listen.”

“Kku. Kkuuuung.”

“Don’t run away!”

However, he chases after the ones that run away and beats them all up, teaching them that beasts are the ones that humans must follow.

Not long afterwards, the best man in the world leisurely returned to the village riding a horse.

“How about this?”

“How… …?”

“If you have a trained mind and body and martial arts skills, it’s easy to tame an animal. Do you want to learn?”

“Yes. Yes. I want to learn.”

“Then guide me to the worst neighboring tribe.”

“Ah! Yes!”

They thought that the best in the world would beat up the evil neighboring tribes. And they actually did.

But the best in the world are outsiders. They are simply taught lessons and are disciplined by gathering together the Bark-Tocha mixed-bloods of the plains who are at odds with each other, and who cannot help but be at odds with each other.

“The objects of your worship are different, such as ancestors or animals, but your customs and appearances are not that different. So why do you fight so much? Unite and cooperate with each other. People are more valuable when they care for each other.”

“Umm… … .”

The best man in the world spreads culture, morality, and etiquette to these barbarians. He also puts an end to the evil practice of capturing neighboring tribesmen and offering them as sacrifices, which was common among them.

For about 200 years, as generations passed, I don’t know if they were the most in need of enlightenment in the world, but they were the closest.

The best man in the world first brings prosperity to the tribes of these scattered plains, and then instills courtesy and morality directly through violence and admonition. After instilling ethics, he teaches them martial arts, and enables them to form a large force without fighting among clans.

“It is this Mahoney who has bound you, so you should rightly be called Towers.”

The best man in the world has suddenly become the chieftain of a nomadic tribe, the Tatap tribe. Their beliefs are all different.

Those who serve the earth, those who see the universe and celestial bodies, those who serve nature, those who serve ancestral spirits, animal spirits, and even necromancy (I removed this), etc. There were various ones… … .

The best in the world teaches them how to solve problems by training themselves rather than relying on external forces.

“Thanks to you, Master, our clan has become prosperous!”

“Yes. If you go east, you will find my compatriots who can be considered your siblings. Show them the martial arts you learned from me and they will treat you well. If you ever get hungry, head east.”

At that time, the best person in the world seemed to have thought that this Tatap tribe would become a pastoral tribe that would leisurely travel and trade across the grasslands, raising a few horses and raising cattle, sheep, horses, camels, and other animals in this peaceful grassland.

Actually, they thought so too at first. They knew it was right.

“You dare to refuse the request of your ‘brother’? You won’t open the Masi (馬市)? Burn and squeeze all the lands of the weak settlers in the east! These rich lands in the east now belong entirely to our Tatop Sky Clan!!!”

“Kiyooooooooooo!”

Tens of thousands of nomadic soldiers are galloping at the shouts of the divine beings. In the northwest of the East, in a desperate attempt to stop them, they have built walls and established defensive troops, but it is hard to imagine how they will be able to stop them.

Of course, the emperors of the East were not without thought. They sent out hundreds of thousands of troops to block them, and fought each other while showing off their great martial arts skills.

This heavenly clan or something, a thousand-kalpa nomadic empire. They really are bad guys. How can the people of the east betray us like this, when they are so kind?

“What? There are savages who learned the martial arts of the best in the world! How dare they call themselves our brothers after stealing the martial arts! Look! Go and lead the army and show them what to do! Burn down a dozen villages and they will know their place!”

“Ah! How dare you stand up to us civilized people just because those idiots stole our martial arts! No way! Aah!”

Yeah. Well, I’m not in a position to say anything either…

So, who did something wrong first? Whose fault is it?

Of course, the best in the world had no ill intentions. However, the best in the world was not a deep thinker.

He probably thought that once the world changed, it would never change. At least, the changes he had made would never change.

Perhaps he had a sense of pride as someone who had ended hell. He thought, “I ended hell and opened a peaceful world, so how could anyone else turn this world into hell again?”

But the world is… … . It’s kind of trashy. The humans in this world aren’t much different. It’s not that the Tocha tribe and their mixed races are trash in nature. It’s just the nature of living things, or something like that.

Would it have been different if everyone in the world had been like Daton, or even better than Daton, like Nono? Probably not. The world would have been a shitty hell in a different way.

When you think about how deep the darkness was in NonoNoNo Hakang’s smile, exaggerated acting, and laughter, it becomes even clearer. Wasn’t it probably a hell where they would mock and mock each other and rape the weak to their heart’s content?

Even bonobos, who are said to resolve their disputes through sex, are violent. It is essential for survival in the natural world.

Even if they are civilized, the development of civilization is usually faster than the development of intelligence and maturity of character. This world is the same. Civilization was not born after all humans had matured as personalities, but rather after they had improved from animals.

In that sense, the best in the world was in some ways too noble and thus failed.

Because he was a noble and excellent person, he did not know how inferior the average human being in the world was.

No, how could you not know? You might think… … . I thought that if we educated them, they would change. And if those who were educated continued to educate the next generation, and the next generation, the change would continue forever.

But it is difficult to live a good and moral life. Not everyone can be a knight. Not everyone can live a life of virtue and righteousness.

In the end, the paradise that was intended to be created in the form of teachings collapsed. The best person in the world ended the hell and created paradise, but by giving up on being the manager of paradise, he ended up turning the world into a garbage place again.

The bigger problem is that because he wandered the world under the pretext of traveling the world, he had no idea what had happened to the world he had passed through.

Then, does that mean that the actions of the greatest man in the world are meaningless? Is he just a foolish farmer who irresponsibly spreads his morality on the world and leaves it without reaping it?

“Oh, ‘Bapan.’ What shall we do with those peasants of that castle who rebelled against us?”

“No business for the rebels! Kill all men taller than a cartwheel! Take the women and make them our concubines, and the children will become our slaves!”

“Okay! Then what are we going to do with the dead bodies?”

He asked back, as if a thousand kalpas were a given.

“What are you doing? Just leave it alone.”

“But you can still offer it as a sacrifice or something… … .”

“No. Don’t do that.”

“hmm.”

Cheon-geop speaks to his subordinates as if he is preaching to them.

“Their crime is rebellion, and their punishment is to lose everything. It is not right for us to insult even their deaths. Why don’t we just eat the corpses instead of the meat?”

“Yes.”

“Come to think of it, your subordinates keep crossing the line these days. If I hear one more rumor that you’re plundering those who surrendered, I’ll tear your children to pieces. Weren’t those who surrendered our workers? Show generosity to those who surrendered!”

“Yes, yes!”

“Those dirty savages… … they keep attacking me so relentlessly.”

“Your Majesty the Emperor! Why don’t we just set an example? If we skin their young children and put them on display, they will naturally be afraid.”

The Emperor of the Unified Empire answers.

“no.”

“But those savages… … !”

“No matter how cruel they are, we must not forget our human nature. If we do, we will only fall to the same level of barbarians as them. No matter how low and cruel they are, we must not fall to their level. We must have pride in being the descendants of the great best in the world.”

“… … That is correct.”

Not reaping what you sow may seem like a foolish thing to do at first glance. It seems like something that needs to be managed and carefully managed to keep it from going wrong.

Just like All Chaun. All Chaun is the manager of Datang. He is the one who constantly manages his family so that they do not go astray, sets the law, and makes them live happier.

However, even if it is All Chaun, it is not impossible to monitor all families. It is not impossible. It is possible to force everyone to have the spirit of fire and burn themselves whenever they do something immoral.

But he didn’t do that. Instead of locking up families to prevent them from committing crimes, he gave them norms and direction.

The best person in the world is even more relaxed than that. The best person in the world is not a parent, but a teacher.

The teacher first teaches them and then lets them learn properly. If the teaching is right, no matter how much you try to distort and twist it, the right intention will remain.

The world is ultimately progressing. The best in the world has set the upper limit of evil instead of the ideal point of good.

It can’t get any worse than this. Even if they are truly ‘enemies’, they shouldn’t act more wickedly than this, even if they can.

And no matter who you are, he taught you to live with some manners. Even a new person like Cheon-geop, and even an emperor who is not that great, has his own manners.

Then we can respect each other, even if we are enemies.

The monarch of a nomadic empire that seems to burn everything down, Cheon-Gyeop surprisingly likes business more than war.

It’s an act that can only be done with mutual respect.
