Episode 116. The Journey to the South 9

“Is it not working this time too?”

“Yes. But I have never heard of a way to reforge a god.”

Baekkan is the greatest blacksmith of this age, but none of them have been able to reforge the Taiko-Shin into a sword.

“Is it impossible?”

“Hmm… …. If it’s Datang Oram, it might be possible.”

“anyone?”

The blacksmith raises his head.

“Ah. Don’t you know? It’s the first fire.”

“The first fire?”

“A long time ago. Almost 20,000 years ago, the wise god of Datang, Ol Chaun, picked up a fireball from a lightning bolt that fell from the sky. That was Datang Oram. It is said that before that, mankind did not even know how to use fire. However, by picking up Datang Oram, people of the world now know about fire and civilization was established.”

Oh? That’s a bit different. It’s actually different from what the Datons say. Ol Chaun wasn’t the one who discovered fire, he was the one who discovered the fire spirit.

Perhaps the story was distorted due to distance and time. But that’s how myths are born. The best in the world sweeps his beard.

“Is that true?”

“It’s true… … I don’t know. That’s what the Datons say. They say they are the first civilized people in the world.”

Actually, the Datons don’t say this, but that’s what it sounded like to Baekhan.

“However, all Baekans and Iyakans acknowledge that Ol Chaun lived so long and that Datang was the first civilized nation. There is also a Dragon King in the south who has lived for nearly a thousand years, and even that Dragon King said, long before he was born, from the previous Dragon King and the Dragon Kings before that, ‘Ol Chaun was the ruler of Datang thousands of years before I was born.’”

“hmm…….”

“Especially, even Datons who haven’t gone through a shelling process live to be hundreds of years old. All of those Datons who have lived for hundreds of years say that the Anraiers have been Anraiers for hundreds of years since they were born, and the Anraiers say that Ol Chaun has been alive for thousands of years before they were born, so Ol Chaun must have lived to be around 20,000 years old.”

Actually, to be specific, it is about 18,000 years old at this point. It is not even 20,000 years old.

But it was certainly an absurdly old age. How long is two thousand years? On Earth, 1 AD would be considered ancient, and by 2000 spaceships had already been launched and cell phones were just beginning to be a thing.

“Datang Oram is literally the sun that descended to earth. He is the living embodiment of fire. A spirit of equal status to Ol Chaun… … .”

-Rather, it seems like it would be similar to me.

“Perhaps it could be so. That power is truly divine. Our palanquins seem incapable of causing any harm to the bodies of gods… … . Perhaps it could be possible. The first fire. The fire of Datang Oram, the sun that descended to Earth… … !”

The Baekkan blacksmith spoke of Datang Oram almost as if he worshipped him. Perhaps it was more out of a sense of admiration and respect for him as a blacksmith than a religious belief. After all, he couldn’t do it without fire.

Knowing that they could not reforge the god into a sword, the best in the world decided to leave Baekkara, the land of the Baekkan tribe.

Because he had already created enough disciples to continue his legacy, it would be difficult to get involved in the religious controversies and strife here any longer.

“Which way do you take now?”

The first is to go down to Datang by crossing the Olsojo Bridge.

The second is to go up there and meet the Erins of the West.

“What kind of people are Erin?”

“A race of tall people with legs longer than arms, little hair, red skin, black or red hair and eyes, and a vicious nature that only cares about their own family.”

I didn’t believe the description of the character, except for the appearance. It is natural for people to speak ill of their neighbors.

So the best man in the world has two choices: meet Erin, explore the West, and then take a boat south, or just walk across the isthmus.

“Go straight south. I’ll show you the way.”

The Erins decided to leave them in the care of the disciples who had crossed over to the northwest. They would probably be able to educate the Erins.

The best man in the world now wanted to meet God. All Chaun, who was on the same level as him. And his spirit, Datang Oram.

What kind of beings are they? What can we learn from them?

Let’s check it out for yourself now.

The isthmus of Olsozo is extremely narrow. In later times, when navigation became much more profitable, there were even attempts to dig a canal.

Even if it weren’t for the cold wind, there would have been more than enough to get through…

In any case, this Olsozo isthmus was a very important place for the Datons. It was impossible for the Datons to even get close to the sea, let alone sail. In other words, if this Olsozo isthmus was not open, the Datons would not be able to go out into the world.

In other words, in order to prevent a war between other countries, all that is needed is to protect the Olsozoic Strait.

Unfortunately, however, the now rich Iral River and its basin, Dimanang, are a large country that occupies all the territory slightly beyond the Isthmus of Olsozorah, all the way to the great forests of the Bakara region.

“But, listening to the story, it’s a bit strange. Why can’t the Datons sail? Do they just get seasick so bad? Or are they weak to salt?”

“Ah. That’s it. Datons can’t survive anywhere but in ultra-high magic zones. Even if they’re not purebloods, they can barely survive in high magic zones.”

“Huh?”

And the ocean of this world is a low-magic zone. No, it’s not enough to call it a low-magic zone. It’s a deep sea, an ultra-low-magic zone where the gravity of the ocean absorbs all the magic power on land.

The further you leave the ground, the more super low magic power zone you are in. If you leave the ground at all, it is a super, super, super low magic power zone that even the average race would have a hard time enduring… … .

“It’s not just seasickness, but it’s said that you literally suffocate to death by having all your magical power sucked out of you. That’s why you can swim in rivers and lakes, but you can’t sail. The coast is also a low-magic zone because of the gravity of the sea… … The coast is completely empty.”

The best in the world thought that the Tocha tribe suffered in the normal magic zone and completely fainted in the high magic zone. Still, if they couldn’t even live on the coast, it felt like a pretty big problem.

“But then, is the coastline of this continent of Olsozora empty?”

“That’s not true. To the east are the Iyakans, to the west are the Baekans and Erin’s country, stretching along the coastline. I heard that the base for trading with Datang developed into a town, a city, and then a country at some point. It’s called ‘Jor’.”

“If we turn that around, then the country of ‘Datang’ is blocked to the west by Jor, the country of Erin and Baekan, to the north by the Great Forest and Dimanang, and to the east by Seiwamuyu, the country of the Iyakans?”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

The best in the world, something felt off.

-That country seems so isolated.

“That’s true. If you’re isolated, you’ll rot.”

-But, looking at the size of the territory, I don’t know if it’s isolated or if they’re isolating the world. It’s a really small world.

I don’t know what the actual customs are like, but now the Jewel Palace is really right in front of us. The one who has shed his shell three times. It won’t be long before we meet Ol Chaun.

When we went near the isthmus of Olsojora, it was surprisingly full of forests. And a gigantic pig-like thing with scales that I had never seen before was making swamps, and strangely, a bird that couldn’t fly but ran as fast as the wind, and a creature with a long nose and protruding teeth like a wild boar, and a gigantic deer whose legs were as long as three people.

“Haha. What a truly strange creature.”

However, I did not ride on a creature more bizarre than the best in the world.

The best person in the world, who was escorted by Baekkan, was amazed at the sight of a giant race that seemed two to three times his size. There were people that big in this world.

“Are you the greatest person in the world from the East?”

“Yes. My people call me that, and I have come with my friend to meet the lord of the southern paradise jewel palace, Ol Chaun, and the sun of the earth, Datang Oram.”

The Gigad Lord smiled. It was a gentle smile, and it seemed as if he was honored to be the one to oversee this border.

“The great All-Chan awaits your visit.”

“Hmm? Has the news already arrived?”

“Before you came to Baekara, hundreds of years before you turned the Seiwamuyu Eastern Dynasty into Goaran. All Chaun has been waiting for you to come.”

“!”

The best in the world is slightly surprised. The Gigad King speaks cautiously.

“I will give you two choices. The first choice is to take you to Mainilun in the Holy Land. If you wait there for a few more years, All Chaun will visit you.”

“Hmm… …. What about the second choice?”

“You will tour this continent of Olsozora and meet the coming Chaun in a few decades. What would you like?”

“What are the reasons for those two choices?”

“I hope that you will meet as many people as possible.”

“Why?”

The Gigad Lord still speaks with a gentle expression.

“Because I’m curious about your story. What kind of adventures and journeys have you had from the end of the world? Were there any pains, what were the joys, what did you gain, what did you hope for… … They want to meet you soon, but on the contrary, they want to meet you as late as possible and talk more.”

“That’s interesting in its own way.”

“What are you going to do?”

The best in the world thinks for a moment and then makes up his mind.

“Tell him to see you in a few decades. I’ll be exploring this world called Datang.”

“Oh! Good. It would be a shame if I were to die of old age. In that case, would it be possible to hear the story before we meet?”

“Story… … . What story should I tell?”

And why do you want to hear the story?

The best person in the world has doubts. Is he curious about his own thoughts? But if that were the case, he would not have used the expression story.

“Then let’s start the story. It all starts with me as a child bringing porridge to an injured master… … .”

However, the best person in the world had an incredible number of stories to tell. And the talent for telling those stories was enough to inspire countless people to follow in his footsteps.

As always. Appropriate bluff, facts, and outright lies. And yet, adding rhyme and melody to the didactic theme, the best man in the world told him many stories.

The Gigad Lord spoke after only three stories had been told.

“That’s really great. You should perform on NonoNoNo Hakang’s stage.”

“hmm?”

There is loud applause and floating lights along with the sound of frogs croaking. It is a tribute to the actors who have finished a great performance.

The actors of the play, who portrayed the struggle to obtain the ‘thing’ and the relics they encountered in the Dimanang region, gathered on stage to greet each other and await the evaluation of the great All Chaun.

All Chaun smiles faintly.

“What a great play. It’s a cliche, but the process was interesting. Let’s see… … . I think it’s about a 7th grade. But there’s room for improvement, so give me 2000 more.”

1st rank is the highest, 12th rank is the lowest. 13th rank is not even the highest rank. The attendants who serve All Chaun move in unison and pile up the 7th rank donums in front of them, and distribute the medals appropriate for this highest rank.

“Great O Chaun! Next time I will perform an even better play!”

“Yeah. I’m looking forward to it.”

After the end of the mythical era, Ol Chaun’s depression has completely healed. Nononono Hakang’s play is the only one of its kind. Anything performed by Kikari Hakang (the troupe) is at least a 4th grade performance… … Ol Chaun went out of his way to see a performance by a small troupe.

Because I really like stories. If you really like a genre, you can watch and enjoy even something that’s just average.

To be exact, I have come to like stories. All Chaun didn’t know that he liked stories until he saw NonoNono Hakang’s stage. But now he knows. It’s better to listen to other people’s stories than to make them.

“All right. The best in the world, Olsojo, just crossed the Strait of Olympus.”

“Really? When are you coming?”

“I’ll go and look around Datang. If we discuss the schedule, I think we can go around everything and meet up exactly.”

“Oh… … I see.”

“I heard that you had a truly great adventure. The Lord of the Territory was very impressed.”

All Chaun smiled brightly. What kind of story would the best person in the world, who came from the end of the world, bring? What kind of adventures would he experience in his own country and what would he think?

“Maybe in about 36 years… … . I’m looking forward to it.”

“Goooosh.”

“Yeah. I guess you too.”

It’s already 2000 years since the legendary era. All of this has freed us from the pressure of having to protect and develop our country, and we are living a more relaxed life.

The national happiness level is 100%, comparable to the paradise era. Even the most critical historians and political commentators of later generations have evaluated that ‘Datang’s politics in the legendary era was truly the best in the past and present in terms of internal affairs.’

The heyday of Datang has arrived. The meeting of the best in the world and the all-rounder, and the end of the journey of many miles in the south is near.
