Episode 183. Real History, Different History 2

The best person in the world was originally a master preacher.

You’ve always been great with words. I think they say that the important thing when speaking is the messenger, right?

Even if we exclude his well-trained body by the standards of the Tocha tribe, the best person in the world is quite handsome, and even by the standards of those unfamiliar with the Tocha tribe’s appearance, he has distinct facial features and a strange aura, giving him aura that is pleasing to the eye from the start.

And he has a great sense of humor, with sharp criticism that hits the nail on the head with just one word, and wit that makes you laugh the moment you hear it.

In the East, teaching others was his profession. Since he considered learning a virtue, he was a person who was really good at speaking.

“At that time, he shouted loudly, ‘No one can harm my comrades! Defeat this Baekkan warrior, Waiki, first!’ and blocked the bandits… … .”

And it was not only used to teach lessons or teach others, but also to simply tell a funny story. We heard stories about Weiki a long time ago, and many times. He was the greatest hero in the Baekkan region. The fact that he later became the leader of the Immortal Corps is enough reason to care about him.

The best person in the world adds a few more details to the stories he has heard, making the story more interesting and conveying a clearer lesson.

Living like a sack.

Yes. That was the theme of the story. The area where the rich wetlands, grasslands, and forests were all pushed away and turned into a desert, Datangryeong Baekala. I thought that if there was anything that could give hope to the Baekkans who had become Datang citizens here, this was the only thing that could do.

Each race has a different way of living. Daton’s virtue is universal love. Tocha’s virtue is benevolence and chivalry, as he defined it. Erin’s virtue is pursuit.

Patchar, Lulmo, Tatap, Borin, Nono. They are all different races. They all have different virtues, each with their own virtues that best suit their race.

Datang tries to apply Datang’s methods to the Baekara region, but Baekkan and Daton are very different. Baekkan is not ‘shy’ like Daton. But he is not as narrow-minded as Erin, nor is he consumed by anger or hatred like the Tocha.

Generous, hard-working, accepting defeat, and celebrating victory.

Their way of life is, above all, one where everyone follows what everyone agrees on and is considerate of the losers.

The best in the world taught it.

Oh. Of course, that’s not all I taught. I also taught the bad history of Baekkan.

“The reason the Invincible One appeared is because of Baekhan. Your ancestors committed a great sin against the Erins, and that is why you hate them so much.”

This is also a harsh rebuke to Baekkan’s shortcomings. Baekkan, how should I put it… … is said to regard consensual violence as natural?

They either expel the useless from the group, or they are very callous and harsh towards those who are not helpful to them.

He respects those who are equal, but is cold to those who are not equal. The best in the world severely rebukes him for this.

For years, I have wandered the Baekkan region, telling this story while fighting against the invincible and the aeons. I also tell stories of the Baekkan hero Waiki and the heroes who accompanied him, and of democracy, the Baekkan Federation, and the Six Lords of the past.

Datang didn’t like this one much.

“Hey. I heard there’s been a lot of shady talk going around in Baccara these days.”

All Chaun speaks on behalf of Mainilun. His attitude is somewhat hostile, unlike his usual friendly demeanor.

“But what’s the problem?”

“What’s the problem… … . Are you talking? Don’t you know that the root of all this is the Baekkans?”

If you think about it, all three wars during the Age of Faith were Baekkan’s fault.

We brought Hanjutamal to the north for no reason, and caused a quarantine war and an invasion by the invincible enemy.

Even before that, there were no invincible people even though Baekhan had not been enslaving the people of Eron.

If there had been no invincibles, there would have been no second war, and certainly no third war.

Well, there would have been a thousand eons. But if Baekkan and Erin had united to stop the thousand eons, there wouldn’t have been a problem. Erin’s development? It would have happened gradually as she interacted with Datang and Baekkan.

And so, Erin, who has developed so much, would not have at least had an invincible thug as her rookie.

“Their fucking democracy… … . I hate democracy.”

Wow. This is probably because he was a dictator for 20,000 years, so his true nature is showing. He really speaks like the monarch of an absolute monarchy.

“They say they decided by agreement, but honestly, isn’t it because they don’t want to take responsibility? Politics is about parents and teachers being role models to guide their children, and it’s normal for the person in charge to take responsibility and handle things, not the majority.”

“Is that so?”

“Isn’t that the case in the East?”

“That’s true. The emperor here is also responsible.”

“Yes, that’s right. But they have six monarchs who don’t want to take responsibility for themselves, so they pass the burden on to the people, and then they put their opinions together and vote. What is that? To be honest, the public is stupid. Most of the public is even more stupid. The more people there are, the more stupid they become. Unless, like in the paradise era, everyone had an abundance of resources.”

“… … .”

“Some are wise. Shouldn’t the wise rule? Are you going to be the second in command of the Baekara region?”

“No, that won’t be the case.”

“Then please don’t give the Baekkans any airtime. I don’t want to fight the Immortal Corps again… … At least for a thousand years? By then, the Baekkans will have finished being turned into a tangible entity.”

The time unit of this era is amazing. A thousand years. If you think about it with the unified era of the mythical era in mind, it would be rather fast.

Even the best man in the world lived a long life, but that was not to his liking. However, he respected his friends.

“Okay, I understand. From now on, I’ll tell you the difference between jokes and history.”

“Okay. If it’s to that extent. I’ll do it too.”

Well, really?

The year of the occupation of Baekara was 1372. In other words, 58 years had passed since Datang had devoured Baekara.

This is a time when, during times of war and chaos, even adults who were superhumans would all die, and their children would grow up to be middle-aged and have grandchildren. In this era, it was common to have children at a young age, so it was common to have great-grandchildren.

There was a boy of that great-grandson’s generation. He was a real rascal who had not yet grown a beard. This boy was taught by the Baekkan sages that Baekkan had waged a reckless war and was defeated, and that they were alive thanks to the mercy of Datang.

“Our ancestors did really bad things… … .”

The boy thinks so. He takes the history that was told at school literally, and the love for all that was told at Datang. And he takes the war conscription and drafting for granted and works. In this era, if even a child can walk and move his hands, it is common to make him work.

And then, the best man in the world came to this village. The best man in the world was said to be a god of the east who could match the great Olleh Chaun of Datang. The best man in the world gathered the people and told them the old legend.

“Once upon a time. When I came to Baekkara, there was a famous Baekkan named Warrior Waiki. He was a legendary relic hunter of old… … .”

The best in the world tells stories about Weiki that he knows. Political topics and teachings are completely omitted, leaving only interesting stories.

But there is power in a good story, especially when it’s about someone like you.

And since the virtue of Waiki was the virtue of Baekkan, the topic of Baekkan-ness could not be left out even if we wanted to, so it was discussed naturally.

The boy was fascinated by Wei Qi’s story. He stayed the whole time when the best person in the world was preaching. He listened intently to the story, even doing things he usually neglected.

“Hey, hey. The best in the world.”

“What’s going on?”

“Is the story about Waiki true?”

The best person in the world is worried.

“I know what you’re asking. It’s half a joke.”

“ah……!”

In other words, it’s half true.

“Wakey really existed.”

“Have you met him?”

“Hmm? No. I was a person almost 2000 years before I came to Baekara. But I’m sure it existed. I met Ol Chaun in person.”

“okay…….”

“Truth and lies. Think about what is important.”

The boy listens and thinks. Is he looking for a funny story now? Or does he want to hear the truth?

When I thought about it, I realized that the truth was a fun story. Even if it was sad, the truth was fun. Even if it was sad, it could be fun.

The boy works desperately to gain recognition for his talents and earn the right to obtain the mysteries from the Datang.

The mystery gained is that no matter how much of an exhibition system it is, it cannot help but relieve stress, so there is music and stories. The emotions that come from there. The ‘musical arts’ that are created there. The power to cause miracles through the emotions of others.

“Excellent. Come join the band. There’s a place for you.”

And when the call to arms is given, the now young bard Baekhan runs away.

If you refuse to be drafted and run away, you will be executed. It is an act that is ‘unbecoming of a citizen of Datang.’

But he was resolute.

“I am not a Datanger. I am a Baekkan… …! I am a descendant of the great hero Wei Qi!”

The young man wanted to know history. Even in this terrible war, stories float around. As I said before, education is necessary to be used as a soldier, and stories are still made up to educate children.

The young man decides to become a historian, a profession that does not exist in Datang. This is something that cannot be done in Datang, where all actions are recorded on fire.

A writer of history. As a bard, I do not simply tell interesting stories, but I try to edit and write real history and the lessons that can be learned from that history.

“The history that Datang speaks of is not all there is. Even if what Datang speaks of is true, the interpretation is wrong. I will find out the history.”

The officer is wanted. He is a seed that spreads reactionary ideas while collecting stories in the Baekara region. Several Baekans who follow his will follow him, helping him and telling him stories.

And finally, the number of impure elements defined by the Datang exceeded six. Six people. Six Baekkans gathered.

However, the immortal band that is said to be legendary did not appear. They are disappointed, but they think it is because they do not know the exact history, and instead try to find out the exact story.

“I will collect stories and reconstruct Weiki’s actions from the stories of the best in the world and the stories that have been handed down… … and the actions of the six monarchs of Baekkan, who are now simply called tyrants.”

The officer embarks on an ambitious task. Datang is in turmoil. There is no place in the east, west, south, or north that is not in chaos. In the north, the invincible monsters that have become strange, in the east, the subtle resistance of the Iyakans, the resistance of the Baekans, and the army of a thousand eons that is moving south from the west.

It would be impossible to find just six people. With that in mind, the officer wanders around Baekara, recording this history from his own perspective.

So that even after he dies, it can continue to be passed down to future generations, and so that a history can remain as seen from Baekkan’s perspective.
