Episode 118. Those Who Sell Legends

The legendary Datang was truly the most powerful and best-run nation in the history of the world.

Even if the so-called ‘national power’ is strong, if the people are not happy, it cannot be said to be good politics, and even if the people are somewhat happy, if the national power is weak, it cannot be said to be good politics.

In that sense, Datang was a superpower that could push aside all neighboring countries if it wanted to, but at the same time, it was a country that gave up unnecessary foreign affairs and invested all its resources and administrative capabilities in the happiness of its people.

The absolute authority of the literal sage, Ol Chaun, and the position of the eleven Anraiers supported by his authority made all sectors of this country, including politics, administration, culture, society, economy, and science, overwhelming other countries.

If there is a country that leads the world order in this way, other countries, or even peoples that have not even formed a country, have only one choice: to cling to that country.

But this also had a big problem.

First, Datang is self-sufficient thanks to its large territory and large population.

Second, Datang has neither the desire nor the need to expand.

Thirdly, for people of other ethnicities to become part of the Datang, they must either become mixed blood and be absorbed into the Datang, or else be treated as foreigners or acquaintances.

Finally, Datang possesses a civilization that surpasses all other civilizations in the world today.

So, how do you stick to it?

No need to trade.

And I have no intention of expanding.

Even penetration is impossible.

There is not even a civilization that has a relative advantage there.

The important thing here is that Datang did not need any other country.

But other peoples and countries needed datang.

From high-quality fabrics, weapons, and simple food ingredients to building techniques, calendars, and more.

Even among the talented people in Datang, those who are neither able to become Mainiran nor even have a Ditt, can act like kings outside of Datang with just a ‘low-level’ talent. This tendency is stronger among mixed-bloods with a lighter portion of Datang blood.

Anyway, since he is a mixed race of Daton, he can use spirit magic and has a very high affinity for magic and adaptability to mysticism, but he cannot survive in Daton, but he can survive outside of it.

So the classes are divided once more.

Pureblood Daturns who can enter the Holy Land and Mainilun from birth. All Chauns also cherish pureblood Daturns more, and raise them to be powerful spirit masters, and raise them to be ‘Chaun’, or ‘Chuan’ who is slightly lower in rank, ‘Chiin’, ‘Choeun’ who is even lower in rank… etc. The title of ‘Chaun’ is only given to pureblood Daturns.

A future where success is guaranteed. Even if a pureblood Daton is lazy, he can become a ‘chi-in’. A ‘chi-in’ is someone who can handle someone like Orotbetbe, the grandson of Datang Oram.

And as time went by, the level of orotbetbe has also increased. In the past, it could only produce light as bright as a candle, but today’s orotbetbe produces firepower similar to that of the first datang oram.

Pureblood Datons, if properly educated and following the law, can all possess firepower that can burn a scaled hippopotamus alive, and live around Dator, sowing seeds. They are in a position no different from royalty. No matter how competent a ‘death’ is, they can easily take on the ‘dutan’ position.

Next are the mixed-blood Daturns with more than 30% Daturn blood, and the nono, patchar, lulmo, gigagard, and now the completely bred Datorins. These are the nobles. They cannot enter the Holy Land because the magical pressure is too strong, but they can reside in both Dator and Shujor. Since they are not born with a strong magical affinity like pure-blood Daturns, they cannot hold public office without trying.

And the lowest is the mixed blood, which is more than 10% Daton blood but less than 30%. If you are a mixed blood of Nono and Patchar, you are still noble, but this is just a commoner.

However, you can receive the baptism of fire. So you live in the outermost area of ​​Dator right below the ranch, or in the forest or Shujor. Up to this point, even all the chauns are considered ‘Datun’.

A mixed blood that is not even considered a Datang-in is a mixed blood that cannot receive the Baptism of Fire. Perhaps they have less than 10% Daton blood. First of all, they do not look like Datons in appearance, or they look like Datons but do not have magical affinity.

They can’t even go to Dator. It’s not a matter of qualification, it’s a biological problem. If you’re in a super high-power zone, your body will decay in an instant.

These ‘old mixed-bloods’ can live to be over 120 years old in high-magic to normal magic zones. If they’re really healthy or have a good constitution, they can even live to be 200 years old. And that’s without ever receiving the baptism of fire. Considering that Baekkan can live to be 100 years old if he takes good care of himself, and that even the truly long-lived people in Erin can’t move at all after they turn 100, mixed-bloods who can walk, run, conceive, and impregnate even at 150 are almost considered semi-immortal by Erin.

Their only goal is to shed their shells. Then they can become Mainnirun. They can receive the baptism of fire. They can be treated as not just ‘real Datangers’ but ‘best Datangers’.

Longing for the homeland of their ancestors, which they cannot enter at all, they live in Dimanang, Seiwamuyu, or Jor, which the Datun cannot approach.

But becoming a superhuman is a very difficult task. Either you accomplish great feats that will make everyone praise you, or you polish your mysteries to the utmost, or you gain an extremely high level of understanding of the celestial bodies and become a great wizard… … .

It’s difficult. So far, we’ve only talked about superhumans, and even more so, adults and new people, so why is it so difficult? You might be wondering, but even the first escape, let alone the second, is difficult for an average person to achieve even if they devote their whole life to it, and even the most geniuses find it impossible.

So, other countries are thinking about what they can give to Datang.

What on earth could that be? Actually, you may know the answer.

The changes brought about by the changes in the previous season. Let’s check them out for yourself now.

After watching the play of Anrai, who has now become Haki Kikari and Nononono Hakang, the burden and darkness in Ol Chaun’s heart were completely washed away.

He had been depressed for a really long time, but he has completely recovered from it. Now, instead of looking after his family with an irritated and disgruntled expression, he laughs off his problems with a kind smile or a hearty laugh.

“Will I ever see a show like this again?”

“Absolutely. With more funding, more troupes, more stories.”

“I would like to support you.”

In the Datang system, the salaries of the superhumans represented by Mainniren are clearly stipulated.

Of course, it doesn’t make sense to make the most important minions in the country do volunteer work. Before the invention of currency, other Anliers actually did volunteer work, but in any case, they use the salaries they receive after that for things they are interested in rather than for their own personal luxuries, as if it were a kind of additional budget.

And because this year’s Chaun is considered to be a worthy and dignified person, he receives a whopping salary every season that is 12 times higher than that of the highest-paid Medakbo.

Although Ol Chaun is the owner of the datang who can have anything he wants, the funds that Ol Chaun actually owns are clearly defined.

It is, so to speak, the king’s personal wealth. When other Anraisers started a business or a scandal broke out, Ol Chaun would generously pour out his own personal wealth to support them.

You could say that it’s an additional budget for the datang itself.

And this is the first time since the invention of the Donum that he has decided to use his fortune for personal luxury.

“Give 248,832 to NonoNoNo Hakang and his team for their excellent play!”

“There should be more plays like this. I will reward all those who have shown me great plays, even if they are not Ha Kang’s theater troupes, with medals and awards.”

“This guy’s story is also great! Give him 3456 more!”

All Chaun showers his wealth and fame on those who tell him their stories.

The tens of millions of dollars that had been stored in Mainilun’s personal vaults poured out without restraint. At this, Medakbo screamed.

“Now, wait a minute. Come on. The money supply has increased so much that it’s going to ruin the economy.”

“Hmm.”

“Even I, a Hakang, think it’s a bit odd to just randomly give out whatever I can get my hands on just for fun. Can you at least set consistent standards and ranks?”

“But I actually felt that emotion… … .”

“Then you should watch more plays. Just watch hundreds of plays. From the very bad to the very good… … Of course my play will be the best! What about the others?”

“Oh. Okay. Good idea. Let’s do that.”

So, the ratings of the poles were determined, from 1 to 12.

A 12th grade is ‘still worth calling it a masterpiece.’ Anything below that is ‘I don’t think I’d pay for this.’ In other words, a 12th grade performance is okay for the average person. A performance that is ‘a waste of time watching it’ cannot be performed in front of an entire audience.

“And if the performances are divided into 12 levels, then the medals should also be divided into 12 levels?”

“Then I have another suggestion. The current medal system of Datang is in disarray, so can all the other medals be divided into 12 grades?”

“Improvement, reform, innovation, and revolution suggest a four-grade system. In reality, it is not easy to judge at the time whether a discovery is of the first or second grade. And any discovery is valuable.”

“Good. Good! That’s a really good suggestion. Let’s take it all in.”

“Goooosh.”

“Really? I have to do this.”

“Goooooosh.”

“ha.”

Although there were some initial problems, this rating system eventually settled in successfully.

They settled down so successfully that they even divided the ranks among themselves. They decided on the highest medal they had received.

And then All Chaun built a theater in Mainilun. Again, with his own money. And after finishing his work for the day, he would leisurely watch a performance. And since he couldn’t perform here unless he was a pureblood Daton, he would go on a pilgrimage to other theaters and watch performances from all over the place.

And when the performance is over, we evaluate it appropriately, give medals and awards, enjoy the fun, and move on to the next location.

It would be good to say that he has implemented a policy of cultural development and promotion. However, there was something that All Chaun had not thought of. In fact, there was something that most Anraiers had not thought of.

The reward given for a 12th grade performance was around 72 degrees for a one-person play.

If it’s over 1 degree in the water, it’s enough to fill you up for a meal. In other words, if it’s over 72 degrees, it’s enough money to live off of for a month if you save.

If you go outside the Datang, you can easily hire elite soldiers over 72 years old, fully armed with armor, metal weapons, or mystics, for about half a year.

“Just telling a funny story for half a day and it’s over 72 degrees?!”

“To be exact, the most boring story is over 72. If you can count it on one hand, it’s between 5,000 and 10,000… … .”

“Have you gone crazy, Allchan?! Now, wait a minute. Let me see what fun story I can tell you.”

A tragedy when seen up close, a comedy from afar.

In order to foster their military, neighboring countries boldly jump into the entertainment industry.
