Fantasy Starting from the Stone Age - Chapter 163
Only Noblemtl
Episode 163. Then we have no choice but to prepare for war.
Throughout history, monarchs have always had their legitimacy tested.
Of course. The best thing in the world is power. Military power, wealth, looks, and academic background are all ultimately for gaining power in society.
Even the head of a household needs to make efforts to be recognized for his authority. He can’t be treated as a father just because he gave birth to a child. He has to at least provide for his children.
But what if the authority and power of the ruler of a nation, or even a vast empire, were to be recognized?
It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, even the emperor was not ranked first in the hierarchy of the country’s prestigious families. That was how influential the local aristocrats were.
The more famous, and older, period of China’s Three Kingdoms was a time when each warlord had to run wild and look good to the local chieftains, even the pretender emperors.
Anyway, in that sense, Olchaun and Datang were really special. You could say that the whole world is special.
The monarchs of this world have generally had no need to prove the legitimacy of their rule.
Why? Because the first monarch ruled for a long time. He became an immortal being. In the East, the emperor was a saint recognized by the world’s best people.
The invincible Luca Empire, the thousand-year-old Bapan Tab, and the Goaran of the King of the Extinction. None of them require proof of legitimacy. The founding monarch is the current monarch.
The Baekkan monarchs are a bit different. However, they have successfully ruled in a democratic society and have succeeded in their second dethronement, so their legitimacy is solid.
All Chaun is the pinnacle of authority in that respect, unrivaled by any newcomer or monarch.
Even before his ascension, his authority in Datang was absolute.
He is not just a founder of a monarchy, he is the one who created the very concept of civilization.
Just by protesting to All Chaun, Echakado was recognized as having accomplished a great feat and was able to be removed from his position. If he is not at that level? It is not All Chaun, but that person who should be leaving Datang.
Why? Because Datang is the land of Ol Chaun. Ol Chaun first met Datang Oram, created fire, created civilization, shared love, multiplied the number, and transformed the family into a nation.
Datang is the quintessence of all teas. No one can deny that.
All Chaun is a person who has dedicated his life to making datang, maintaining datang, and making datang people happy.
His legitimacy and legitimacy were not given to him by anyone. He simply created them himself.
The authority of such a king depends on something other than the legitimacy of having founded a country.
What I mean is that All Chaun never lies. Of course, he changed his words later. In short, he said he would burn Liwaduwan to death, but in the end, he accepted it as a mine run.
However, this change was not groundless and was not due to personal preferences.
In other words, All Chaun was a leader who had the most essential virtue for all politicians, the core of their popularity: ‘responsibility.’
Datang is not a democratic country. It is an authoritarian, classist, and totalitarian dictatorship.
The most important legislative power among the legislative, judicial, and administrative powers is monopolized by the All-Chaun. The Medakbo is the one who ‘organizes’ the laws, not the one who can make the laws.
But this country strangely appears to be a constitutional monarchy. Why? Because Ol Chaun has never broken the laws he has made. He has never judged matters differently, whether they are close to him or far from him.
In the past, when the governor of Seiwamuyu came as an Anrai, Datang and Ol Chaun treated him properly as an Anrai.
I had thought the Governor-General would be cautious, but he was surprisingly hospitable, and now I have become a true Datanger.
A conscientious dictator who does not discriminate. A monarch who always maintains a consistent attitude toward himself, his opponents, his friends, his enemies, and his people.
So the public support is 100%. Even though the national infrastructure is being completely destroyed due to the spread of Hanjutamal, support for Ol Chaun is unwavering, and they are even willing to cut off their own flesh to put a single piece of meat on Ol Chaun’s table.
The great All-Chan has handed over the position of ‘Supreme Decision Maker’ for the first time in history. It is a very unique situation that is hard to find even on Earth.
In other words, the emperor himself handed over the imperial power to the commander-in-chief, when absolute power was already firmly established… … a shocking situation.
The tables were turned. Out of nowhere, Ol Chaun came down as the ‘newcomer who is just the head of the spirit masters’, and out of nowhere, Shuzormiya Riwadouan sat in the position of the highest decision maker.
.’
“Your Majesty, it’s not the King who is coming, it’s Liwaduwan?!”
“Is Datang now becoming Shuzor?”
“No. It’s still a dumpling.”
“So, has Liwaduwan finally shed his shell for the third time?”
“That’s not it. A rookie is still a rookie, so he just gave up the final decision. He said he’d get it back later.”
“What is that?”
“Uh. So. Um… … The supreme ruler has changed.”
This is embarrassing.
Because in the Datang system, the word meaning the highest ruler, such as ‘king’ or ‘emperor’, was ‘ol chaun’.
But it is embarrassing that this year’s Chaun went under Liwaduwan. The Datang people are also embarrassed. That is why I want to make a new word.
Because I live in Mainirun, Mainirun.
I am an equal to the world, so I am not an ally.
But the ruler of Datang is of a higher rank than that.
Other countries also have ‘kings’, ’emperors’, and ‘gods’, but the ruler of Datang needs a more appropriate title.
The ‘position’ held by the person named ‘Ol Chaun’ in Datang was the legislative power of Datang. Legislative power, in other words, is the right to set the rules of the world.
In other words, if it means ‘the foremost among those who set the law’.
“The title of the supreme leader of Datang will now be ‘Dakerutang’.”
“It’s a little unfamiliar, but it seems like a well-made name. It has the words “datang” at the beginning and the end.”
“So, up until now, it was Dakerutang, but now it’s Liwaduwan that is Dakerutang.”
It’s a bit unfamiliar, because Liwaduwan was the first to use the title of Dakkerutang before Olchaun.
But well. If you look at it that way, Medakbo was the first to use the word “Anlair”. It seems like no one really cares.
“Huh? What’s this? In the newspaper (*I found it because I discovered the papermaking method), it says, ‘[Ol Tatta], who previously held the position of Dakkerutang and Ol Chaun, transferred the position of Dakkerutang to Shujorumiya Riwaduwan due to the national crisis’?”
“Wasn’t the name of the whole thing called All Chaun?!”
“I thought Ol Chaun’s name was Ol Chaun… … . It had a different name.”
Well, the general public may not know.
“Wasn’t All Chaun’s name All Chaun?!”
Tattoonang Marechi shouts in shock. But not only him, everyone else is shocked. Liwaduwan is also surprised because he knows that the name of the person is Ol Chaun.
If Marechi doesn’t know the fourth mine run, there are only two people who would know.
But both Castle Laurent and Manum Lapin were surprised.
“Wasn’t it time for your honor to come?”
“Wow. This is the first time I’ve heard that in 20,000 years… … .”
I am asking this question because this whole thing is absurd.
“How could a person’s name be called Ol Chaun? In the first place, Chaun is a title given to those who have a contract with the Spirit Kings.”
Liwaduwan groans.
“Can I use a name that I haven’t heard in 20,000 years as my real name?”
“No, what is it? My dadun, that is, the name was given to it by our dadun’s mother when we first made the datang.”
“Ah. The Sage of the Dark Ages… … What does that mean?”
My name is Ol Cha-un and my real name is Ol Tat-ta.
“Light the fire.”
“… … .”
“No, why? I was the one who started the fight the most. That’s why I got angry on a rainy day and ran out to give you a big bowl of soup.”
“Goooosh.”
“No. Just change your name… … .”
“With what.”
“All cold.”
“How can that be? How can the title and name be the same?”
“The Tang people are confused, so just change your name… … How can someone’s name be set on fire?”
“Haa… … . I get it. After all, there aren’t many of you who are called by your names. Even Castle Laurent isn’t called by his own name.”
“Castle Laurent, wasn’t your name Castle Laurent?!”
“Hey. Marechi. You… … . Ha… … . Right… … . You use your title with a name attached to it… … .”
I was confused about whether I should say that Giriwang Darida has a different real name or that he changed his name to Darida, but I decided not to say that it would make things more complicated.
Anyway, with this, the invited Anliers just pass on their titles to their successors along with their names. The second Tattooan Marechi is just called Tattooan Marechi.
It was just a minor incident. It wasn’t that important of a problem.
It’s just a name.
All of a sudden, I wanted to travel by plane.
Let’s say it’s an overseas trip. I originally liked going on pilgrimages by palanquin, but since everyone else was traveling by plane, I thought it would be a good idea to visit the East in person at least once.
“In that case, we will work with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the East to sound out their intention to visit.”
“Hmm. Wait. By the way, do I need to make a passport to get on a plane?”
“That’s up to your discretion… … .”
“Ah… … No, that’s fine. I don’t want to receive special treatment for no reason, so I’ll just go through the official process.”
All of them decided to have Niro Raon take a photo of themselves to make an ID photo and then go to the nearest government office to get their passports issued.
This is the Mainilun that is living right now. This is the person in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. So, let’s go to the current Lezohui Medakbo who is in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“I want to go on a trip abroad, so please issue me a passport.”
“Yes? Yes? (Modern-day Lezohui Medakbo, head of the executive branch and superior in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs).”
“What? No? You get it from a nearby government office.”
“That’s right, but, just a moment.”
Medakbo, who is preparing, hurriedly calls the main people and prepares to issue passports for the next day.
“But is this right?”
“No, I can’t just have the neighborhood office make the passport for you. I’ll make it for you.”
“I see.”
“First of all, your name is Ol Chaun… … .”
And Medakbo, who was trying to record it in a computerized document, is embarrassed.
‘All Chaun’ cannot be recorded. This is because the name All Chaun is written only in the spirit characters of the mythical era. It is a character that does not exist in the system.
“Now, just a moment?”
“?”
I had to nag the system administrator to increase the number of characters that could be entered. This alone required a complete overhaul of the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs system, but it was surprisingly quick.
“Thank you for waiting a long time.”
“What? I waited for it to be placed there for 300 years.”
“ha ha ha.”
“Then let’s continue.”
“yes.”
And Medakbo stops at the next part too.
“why?”
“Excuse me, what is your date of birth?”
“How would I know that?”
“Yeah. Haha… … .”
“Just write down the date you set up the teahouse.”
“That, that, that year doesn’t go up until then.”
“Then why don’t you just write ‘All Chaun’?”
Then, I had to do some extra work to insert letters into the year, which only accepts numbers, but since there are no other options, I’ll just write it like that. And then I’m stuck again.
“why?”
“Pureblood Daton is not on the list of races to choose from.”
“Then write it as Daton.”
“That’s because it’s only called ‘Daton-Erin hybrid’… … .”
“Then is there really a need to create an item that only I can use?”
“yes…….”
“Then I guess I can just write ‘All Chaun’. There’s no one else who’s pureblooded besides me.”
But that doesn’t mean the workload has decreased, so I’ll have to pester the system administrator again to add more.
And then it stops again.
“Why this time?”
“No, I mean, if you are a citizen of Datang, you are supposed to write your medal level on your passport.”
“… … ?”
All this time there are no medals.
“What should I do? Should I set it to level 0?”
“What is a 0th-grade medal? It’s written as ‘All Chaun.’ It’s something you can’t get because you’re the highest ranking adult.”
“Yes.”
Again, I called the system manager. It was easy because he waited right next to me instead of going.
“… … .”
“why?”
“I have to write down my occupation, but… … .”
“Why don’t you just write ‘All cold’?”
“Yes. That’s right… … .”
So I looked at the completed passport.
“Name: All Chaun
Date of birth: All Chaun
Race: All Chaun
Status: All Chaun
Occupation: All Chaun
“I hereby certify this person’s identity in the name of Dakkerutang Ol Chaun.”
“I made it and it looks ridiculous. Is this really a normal passport?”
“… … .”
All Chaun takes a picture of his passport with a smile and posts it under the name ‘Passport Verification’ on a community he’s been into lately.
It’s a happening.
The distant future happenings are over, and now let’s look at Datangna, who has to deal with the hell of an all-out war system.
