Episode 184. Real History, Different History 3
If we do not treat Waiki as an adult, there were seven Baekkan adults in history.
Although he is slightly lower in rank than Datang’s Anlair, he is on a different level from the fake great men that Erin has brought up several times.
Lord of the Plough.
The Lord of the Pickaxes.
The Lord of the Axes.
Lord of the Hammer.
Lord of the Ships.
The lord of shovels.
The Grand Alchemist.
The six above are known as the Six Lords, and they are the ones who created the Great Alchemist’s Wheel and enslaved Erin.
Six of them were skewered to death by Liwaduwan, and the Great Alchemist was killed by having his head crushed by the Invincible One.
The officer believes that it is important to properly record the history of these seven people.
“The Anlaiers of Datang each shed their skin in different ways and have different histories. The monarchs of Baekkan must have been the same. It can’t be summarized as ‘they carried out brutal politics and were skewered to death.’”
The officer had no intention of defending Baekkan. In fact, the invincible were slaves of the Baekkan tribe, and the monarchs and the great alchemist were the ones who created those slaves.
So, we need to write the public domain neutrally first, and then collect our own value judgments and, further, the value judgments of others to create a proper history.
The officer knew that the Datons lived long lives. And he knew that their memories were stored in fire. The fire of Dutan, where minimal education took place, must surely contain the original history.
The officer leads the Baekkan investigation team he has assembled, and acts in a manner close to resistance. His comrades are interested in the liberation of Baekkan, its glorious history… … and plunder and revenge.
But the officer simply wanted to record the correct history. He investigates the fires of Dutan and Deet, collects stories handed down, and searches for history by searching unburned libraries, destroyed ruins, and abandoned cities in the desert.
“The Lord of the Plow was called the Lord of the Five Rivers and the Plow. He was the first Lord of Baekkan. He greatly promoted agriculture and made the people live better by learning the herbal medicine from Osozoiin Gulmyeong and precise astronomical observations. He was the first to become a lifelong leader, so he was practically the Lord of the Lords.”
“I don’t know who came of age first, the Lord of the Pickaxe or the Lord of the Axe. The Lord of the Pickaxe mined powerful magical minerals and gems from the volcanic zone, and practiced great smelting and jewelcrafting. He lived a life of extreme luxury, but he did not harass the people.”
“The Lord of the Axe was the Lord of the Northern Forest. He cut down trees, managed the forest, raised livestock, and lived in harmony with the animal spirits. It is presumed that he lived in harmony with the animal spirits of the deer. Considering that there are many deer people and deer beast people in that area, this is probably true. So he was one of the few who became adults as an animal spirit. He cut down the forests, but he also planted trees.”
“The Lord of the Hammer was a new monarch, a blacksmith and builder. He was the representative of the workers, not the land, and he had almost perfected the art of making weapons, the Vaccan smelting method, and the new steelmaking method. The reason Vaccan weapons are still the best in the world is because of the Lord of the Hammer, and he ruled over a great city and a great workshop that rivaled Paldin Core.”
“The Lord of the Ships was, of course, a navigator. The mysteries he had learned were probably his faith. He was also a religious leader. He built a great maritime empire by competing with the Iyakans, and he conquered and ruled hundreds of islands. He was the most violent of leaders.”
“The Lord of Shovels was the lord of the Dimanang region. He was a distant descendant of Waiki, and he took over the magic tool workshop of his friend Luzar. He cultivated the desert area and practiced magic, and became very prosperous. He fought fiercely, losing and taking much land.”
“The Great Alchemist was simply a genius. He created various chemicals in addition to the wheel… … Hmm. Was there a secret called alchemy? It doesn’t seem to be a technique. It seems to be out of use now. He created the wheel, and although he didn’t directly advocate enslaving the Erin people, he didn’t oppose it either.”
As we reconstruct their deeds, we see how great these six monarchs and one genius were.
They were all saints. They may not have been always right, but they were examples to others and had their own virtues so that the people would forever accept them as their monarchs.
However, the officers could not help but have some of their ugliness as well.
The most representative example is the meaningless waste of national power due to religious strife among monarchs or the centralization of the state.
What is desperate is that the ugly deeds of the Baekkan lords and the reckless and incompetent wars were all true. It was not something that Daton had distorted.
“I didn’t hide the truth… … I just said that their accomplishments were greater than their faults.”
The historian must, however, judge history. Among the six, there were two monarchs who opposed the war, and yet were the first to fight against Marechi and Liwaduwan.
There are some poor monarchs who have supported war and yet have not been skewered. But whether they are punished or not, the bond between the Baekkan monarchs is strong.
“The officer commented. Although each cabin looked different, there was a sense of empathy that they were all the same cabin… … What if they could have shown this attitude of embracing diverse people to other species? Even though they were all different, they were all the same apes.”
The colleagues leave after realizing the ugly reality of history. It seems that they wanted to say that Baekkan’s history is all distorted and that Datang is all bad.
In fact, there were opinions that suggested distorting history like that, but the historian did not do that. He simply focused on conveying the facts.
“Weki wasn’t joking. Weki’s last story was completely true. The ugly and the beautiful were all true.”
The officer says so and does not give up, but continues to create history with those who remain.
That has reached its limit. In the end, reactionary behavior is suppressed by a powerful force.
After a long run, the butt was finally caught.
An army of wolf-shaped mixed race Datons and hunting dogs surrounds them.
The number is less than 50 even including the number of spirits, but it is too powerful a force for the naked, mystery-less Baekkans to deal with.
Among them, the military police officer in charge quietly draws his bow and announces.
“Rebels. I will give you a chance. Either you all die, or you go to the front lines. What do you want?”
Of course, it is better to be on the front lines where you can live than to die. The front lines are not death sentences. If you make a specialty, you will be treated well.
When everyone else is inclined, the officer steps forward with confidence.
“You’re the representative? What is it? Decide on an answer.”
“… … It’s not for me to decide.”
“what?”
The officer encourages his discouraged comrades.
“We have never decided on one opinion! Brothers! I ask you, what should we do? Should we be dragged away to be used as arrow cannons? Or should we live our history?”
“Ugh… … .”
However, the sergeants hesitate. The military police in the shape of a wolf shrug their shoulders.
“If that’s the answer, then there’s nothing I can do.”
“No. The answer is not yet given. However, I dare say this. ‘No one can harm my comrades! There is only one Baekhan warrior here! Defeat me first and go!’”
And he beats his drum loudly to encourage his comrades, perhaps to incite them, to find someone to die with him.
thud!
“Write a mystery! Kill them all!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Unfortunately, there is no response from colleagues.
The pride and honor of Baekkan were all gone. Perhaps there was only one true Baekkan who was lost in the story and pursued history.
The rest may have just been villains looking for a gang to commit crimes.
However, even one person is fine. The pride of one person, that strong will, evoked a strong response from the sleeping spirits.
It is not a democracy of six people.
There are six voters. And one outsider who decides… … It was 6+1. Always.
Tadadadadadadadadang!
Woof! Woof woof!
Arrows are shooting. And a pack of dogs is rushing at you.
He beats the drum, saying that even if he dies, he will die with honor.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
But the sound of the drums doesn’t stop. There are those who block the drums right in front of you, glaring and clenching their teeth.
“uh?”
Colleagues… …? No. Colleagues are trembling behind me right now. The six people in front of me are definitely not them.
“ah.”
But as soon as he saw his back, he knew. It was exactly as the legend had it. The officer knew the name of this warrior with a thick beard and a hammer in each hand.
“Wakey!”
The new god of Baekkan. The immortal being embodying the soul of the nation has now descended.
“Whaaaaa …
The immortal horde summoned with a scream cuts down the hounds and rushes in to split the heads of the army.
“What is this!”
The officer praises this miracle with tears streaming down his face and loudly beats his drum.
“It really happened! Waiki, the god who protected us really existed! Our history was true!!!”
Then, finally, there was a response. The comrades who had been trembling in fear all at once changed into proud warriors.
“Whaaaaa …
The Immortal Squad appears only in response to the will of the Baekkans to live as Baekkans do. As the number of warriors gathered here increases, more appear. From 6 to 12, to 36, and eventually to a number that the gathered army could not possibly handle.
“Huh? Everyone, everyone, fight! You’re not a rookie! I can kill you!”
Those who were summoned as said did not actually display the power of a newcomer. The officer who summoned them was not even a transcendentalist, but an ordinary mystic.
It’s just a mystery like no other, a whole new kind of mystery that borrows some of the power of memes that exist as stories into its own abilities.
The officer became the first summoner in history.
And, for the first time since the Tang occupation, Baekkan has transformed into a superhuman. Now, the officer who has been reborn as a superhuman unfolds the sound of drums that enrage the battlefield like crazy.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The surrounding gendarmes were annihilated. After the battle, the officer and his men were exhausted.
Excessive consumption of magical power causes this exhaustion. Insufficient magical power is used at the expense of vitality.
But their hearts, which fought even at the cost of their lives, were simply full.
“It really happened… … ! It really happened that our hero existed… … .”
I’m so touched that I’m crying. In fact, some of my comrades died in battle just now. In fact, there are many. The forces of Datang are not so strong that you can win just by awakening one mystery.
But memes are different. This victory news sweeps across the Baekara region. The seeds that the best in the world first discussed blossom into drum sounds and stories.
And in the great meme called mythology, the memes created by their achievements spread.
“What’s wrong with Baekara? Is it a rebellion?”
“No, it’s a bit different. I’m asking for autonomy.”
“In this situation?! Can’t those Baekkan guys do anything but cause trouble?! Don’t you know how much of a tyranny the invincible one is wreaking right now! I’m going to attack the Baekkara region right now!”
In reality, memes spread and rebels arise, but they do not lead to full-scale resistance.
It’s not that I don’t want to participate in the war. I’m asking for the authority of the Dominion so that I can participate more actively in the war.
The officer becomes a superhuman and leads the group, or separates from the group and goes in search of history. There is something more important than the history of the distant past.
“Someone must record who started this war, how it was fought, and how it will end. Even if it wasn’t the fire of Darton… … .”
In addition to the powerful new being known as the Immortal Squad, the officer can now ‘summon’ powerful mystics from various faiths, folktales, and legends.
Of course, the most powerful meme was the Immortal Band, but it draws its power from the meme itself and records the meme itself.
In order to properly record it, I even went to a workshop that engraved the spirit characters and stole ink and paper. The more I did that, the more firmly the story would be recorded in the world.
Beginning with the special ink and paper that was originally used to store memes, historians also became the first to write the so-called ‘grimoire’.
Eventually, Datang gives up on the warrant for the officer who has grown too large and powerful to be useful. Instead, he decides to use him.
“Good. I will leave behind the qualifications to record history in the name of Lezohui Medakbo, so first get involved in the war! Join the army and leave a record of history!”
It has also been officially recognized.
As a result, in addition to the ‘complete original facts’ with few errors, history containing the subjectivity and interpretation of historians became more diverse.
This further develops into a kind of play on the subject of journalism and history.
This means that everyone is given the opportunity to speak and evaluate the story in their own subjective way… … .
In other words, it becomes the soil where democracy can grow again.
“Should I not have hoped for the cooperation of the best in the world… … That would definitely cause bigger problems later.”
Liwaduwan is seething inside. But Olchaun is still jubilant, thinking that he has an ally in the war and that Baekkan is finally on his side.
The long war is over. Now, instead of a protracted, drawn-out war, it is a showdown with the fate of the nation at stake.
The war will be over in three years.
Because Cheon-geop finally found the quarantine area of Hanjutamal and started stealing patients and two-horned Malrangmalangs from there and spreading them indiscriminately throughout Datang.
However, this process was not as smooth as expected. The plan was successful, but it was not effective.
Not all of the subordinates of a thousand eons simply follow orders.
People with a conscience can be found everywhere.
