Fantasy Starting from the Stone Age - Chapter 97

Episode 97. How to end an era

As you can see, the technology and culture of this world are very different from those of Earth.

First of all, the level of technology is far more overwhelming than that of Earth when you think about history. Disinfection through fire, water supply using spirit stones, sanitation management, biotope through extremely advanced biology, and management of food and natural materials through that.

The simple result is the population, which in prehistoric times was in the hundreds of millions, and even when it was in the hundreds of millions, it systematically maintained such a civilization infrastructure.

This was something that was possible on Earth at least during the Middle Ages. In fact, it was difficult even during the Middle Ages. At least in the modern era, we had the biology, medicine, and other technologies that we needed to achieve.

Not only Datang, but also each nation and race in the world used the power of ‘mystery’ as a very simple substitute for science and technology, which resulted in an explosion in population during the prehistoric era.

And the environment where superhumans with powers several times greater than that of an individual can run around has distorted every aspect of them.

In extreme cases, the firepower they could wield in prehistoric times would only have been possible on Earth in modern times.

If both Ol Chaun and Datang Oram were to land in a modern-day city on Earth, there would be no way for Earthlings to deal with it other than using nuclear bombs.

They have faced ostriches faster than trains, elephants as strong as tanks, and ‘Catastrophe’ class dragons that are no different from living airships, and they have fought and waged war by raising the level of mystery to confront such things.

So, as a result, social development was extremely slow.

If there is a tragedy in this world, it is this: while technology has been replaced by mystery, the development of humanities, knowledge, and culture has been incredibly slow.

Datang is saying that only after 12,000 years since its founding did it finally have a ‘written law’ and an ‘administrative government’? Does that make sense? The country’s administration was run by the rule of law for 12,000 years? Even its military power was on par with the modern era?

What’s even more incredible is that this country had one of the most advanced societies and cultures in the world.

Other nations and tribes did not have a focal point like ‘Ol Chaun’, so instead of using powerful mystics to create a great nation, they would fight each other, claiming to be the best.

No matter how strong the humans on Earth were, one person couldn’t defeat ten people, but in this world, one truly strong person could kill hundreds or thousands of people, and even more.

As a result, the struggle for power and power, blood and blood, continues, and the races in each region fight like mad because they are not even of the same race.

Erin, Tocha, and Baekkan had been fighting amongst themselves for tens of thousands of years, and Datun had also been fighting amongst themselves before All Chaun united all Datun.

In that sense, the historical significance of Datang is not only its overwhelming power, but also its simple discipline. It may be proof that society can be run without the development of culture, just with a leader who can follow the discipline himself and be an example, and with a stable political system.

All Chaun is a special being who can kill an unknown number of people on his own, but he does not abuse his power.

He respected the masters who had reached the realm of the mind and made the country a true country by having them do their best in their respective fields.

However, social and cultural development is still slow.

If the greatest tragedy created by Datang’s backward and rigid society was the great rebellion in the Shuzor region and the second invasion.

The second tragedy of the country of Datang may be the very passage of time that the country has endured.

The fact that the mainstream of Datang is the Daton race, who can live for hundreds of years if they receive the baptism of fire.

At the end of the Unified Period, the Age of Mythology was approaching 15,000 years.

In other words, this means that the age of the entire Chaun is close to 16,000 years, and even if we extend the long history of Datang to the modern era, the proportion of the mythical era is the highest.

In such a mythical age, how do ordinary Datang people live?

It is not much different from the previous system. Daton still lives a promiscuous life, and children are simply born in the village and left there, where the village chief and wise man teach them.

When a child reaches the age of 15 and becomes sexually mature, he or she is considered a “youth” and may go on a pilgrimage. He or she may not go.

And when you turn 20, you can now decide on your career path. That is, to gain ‘mystery’. ‘Mystery’ and ‘career path’ are strictly speaking different, but the Datons do not know the difference.

However, you can’t just get the mystic and choose your path right away when you turn 20. You have to work hard on your pilgrimage or enter a specific field as an apprentice from the age of 15 and earn a medal that proves that you have experience in that field.

If you haven’t decided on a career path, or haven’t earned enough medals to decide on a career path, you’re a ‘dot’. A commoner of Datang.

It’s not the lower class. In the first place, it’s extremely difficult to obtain the mystery. In Daton’s standards, being a ‘dot’ is not a disgrace, and you won’t be cursed as a dot for the rest of your life.

This is because, instead of being a ‘commoner’, you have freedom. From the moment you choose your path and gain the mystery, you are now responsible.

If a spirit master wants to avoid responsibility, he or she must undergo an examination, give up the contract with the spirit beast, and return to Dot. If, instead of spirit magic, he or she has obtained a mystical ability that cannot be canceled at will, such as metal magic, sorcery, or martial arts, he or she cannot avoid responsibility at all.

If you do not serve the Datang with these mysteries, the punishment is death. There is no other way than to kill you. Because it is very dangerous for those with power to roam around freely.

However, if you have a mystery, you are given different titles depending on your level, and each has their own responsibilities.

The village chief, who can be said to be part of the All-Datun clan, is the agent of the law and the person in charge of the whole village. He carries the fire spirit Orotbe with him and makes the final judgment for the village.

The old sage, Moji, takes the spirit of the fields, the wind ostrich, with him to spread knowledge, gather knowledge, and advise others in various fields of the village.

‘Nermi’, who can be called the village elder, commands the scaly hippopotamus and manages the swamps and food resources. In particular, he also serves as a vigilante, but there is no suitable translation for it.

In addition, there are the ‘Nilolai’, a spirit of the kneeling giraffe who traditionally manages the forest or leads pilgrimage groups; the ‘Hahi’, an architect who works with scaly elephants; and the ‘Rafi’, who sculpts and creates works of art with the moon spirit and serves the gods.

And there is ‘Lauren’ who studies with the shadow snail, and ‘Tattoonon’ who automatically transforms when he gets caught in the Hanjuta Mal.

‘Osi’, a metalsmith and blacksmith, ‘Koa’, a herdsman who walks a path only the Quako tribe can walk, and ‘Gulme’, a plant magician.

‘Parun’, who hunts sea creatures with the animal spirit of a leopard and criticizes lawyers and discipline, ‘Giriura’, who is a reserve soldier, athlete, and officer. ‘Wajin’, a high-ranking officer, ‘Sowa’, a sorcerer, ‘Rezohi’, a scribe, and ‘Yupi’, an astronomer and mathematician.

And just for fun, let’s say that Yoopoppi, who is a gambler, is also a real person. For now… … .

By choosing one of these many paths and following it, you could become a member of the upper class, the All-Datun.

Since choosing a career path is based solely on whether you actually have the ability, both Daton and Patchar were able to choose what they wanted, but there was a clear difference in their preferences.

The paths taken by Daton and Patchar are very different. Daton is better as a spirit master, and Patchar is better as a sorcerer. They usually do things based on their magical affinity and emotional affinity.

The Borin tribe had little to do except use their intelligence. Rulmoh often worked as a scribe, but he also did a lot of physical labor.

The Gigad do not pursue any career path other than that of a plant herder, which is simply a racial preference. The Quakos primarily pursue the career of a herder, but there are many who work in various fields.

Overall, each person tended to choose a career path based on their race’s aptitude and culture.

It’s not like there aren’t any weirdos. Like learning martial arts as Borin, or being a scholar while being a Patcher, or being a Loren while being a Quako. Well, it’s not like it’s prohibited by law.

It may seem a bit strange, but it’s excessive to tell someone not to do something when they can still do it.

At that time, the only people who had restrictions on their freedom without directly choosing a path were the Borin people, because their numbers were growing too quickly.

The Borins responded by changing their identity to ‘Datorin’, which is a breed that maintains intelligence but has lowered sexual and reproductive drive, thereby controlling their reproductive ability.

The Borin people have become absorbed in the Datang through their obsession with domestication. This too must be the way.

However, among these races, there was one race that did not have a career path that suited their ‘aptitude’.

Height: 110~130cm. Similar build to Borin, but arms, nose, and ears look more ‘childish’. It’s impossible not to distinguish him from Borin.

The distinction between the short Baekkan and the Nono is also very clear. The skin color and the glossy hair are different for each Nono, and unlike Baekkan, he does not have a beard on his face.

These are the Nono tribe. Daton also hears that he is a promiscuous person when he goes outside of Datang, and Patchar, who is more serious than Daton, hears the same thing from Erin, but the Nono tribe hears Daton call him a promiscuous nympho.

Their debauchery is beyond imagination, and I can’t even describe it because of censorship. Anyway… … . Well, they don’t do anything violent.

Sexual violence. There is no concept of forcing them to do something. Instead, they will do anything if it is consensual. I won’t bother to say where and how far the scope of this ‘existence’ that can agree is.

The Nono people have lived in the Shuzor region since very ancient times.

Later scholars believe that they share a close common ancestor, as they are the only race capable of interbreeding with Borin, and that those resistant to the Hanjuta Mal remained in the forest, while those that were not moved north.

Yes! The biggest characteristic of the Nono tribe is that they are resistant to that terrible Hanjutamal. It’s about half the resistance.

It’s not that it doesn’t happen, but even if it does, a lot of it is okay.

And because they have the vicious characteristic of becoming carriers even while infected, they have naturally expanded their territory by roaming around as carriers while infected for a while.

It wasn’t that I had any malicious intentions. It was just evolutionarily advantageous to live that way.

This Nono tribe was a member of the Shujor Alliance and participated in the war, but they were not soldiers, but were in charge of supplies and logistics behind the scenes. They did not like war or fighting very much.

The only mystical thing that suits the Nono tribe is sorcery. Their affinity for magic has been greatly reduced in the process of resisting the Hanjutamal. The only mystical thing that is triggered by emotions is sorcery. Their lifespan is short and their temperaments don’t match, so it’s almost impossible to learn martial arts.

Are they looked down upon in Datang? No, they are not. Because in the area where Hanjutamal has spread, they are the only race that can operate, excluding the sick Tatunons, so they move around using their characteristics.

The Nono tribe, too, were not interested in success and were content to just live without discrimination, but there were some who secretly talked about this.

“We don’t have a mine run.”

Every race and every nation living in Datang had their own Mainiran. The Dimanang refugees in the north also considered King Giri as their ancestor, or they considered the Mana School as their ancestor.

The Gigard considered the Paldin Koa and Quakoa as their relatives, and considered the Paldin Koa as their mineniran. Or the Ossozoin Gulmung.

Among the races living in Datang, the only races without a Mainiron are the Borin and Nono tribes. Among them, the Borin tribe had a leader called ‘Borin Deata’, and at one time posed a serious threat to Datang…

There was no leader of the Nono, and not a single Nono of note. There were a few Nono who had served as Wajin during the previous invasion of Shujor, but… … that was it.

The Nono tribe strangely didn’t like that, but they just let it go. That’s their nature.

That is why the Nono tribe lived in Shuzor and Datang without any negative impressions. At first glance, it is as if they never existed in history.

In the midst of all this, there was one Nono. This Nono became famous in Datang for a very unusual reason.

“Nono tribe Kikari. The death penalty was unanimously decided without exception in the three trials. Mainnirun’s execution request.”

As written in the documents received by Rezohui Medakbo, this Nono was a criminal. A criminal who had been sentenced to death.

But the capable Lezorwhi Medakbo read this woman’s ‘crime’ and became interested.

Because it was a crime that had never happened before.

No one has ever been arrested for this crime, and no one has ever been killed for this crime.

“if……?”

Originally, if a trial was held in three trials and a death sentence was handed down three times, the person would be killed, but the execution would still be handled by Mainirun.

Medakbo became interested.

“Bring this girl named Kikari. I want to see what she’s capable of.”

Nonojok Kikari. Her alleged crime is a ‘lie’.

An incomprehensible act of making up and spreading non-existent stories for fun. A criminal sentenced to death for such madness.

This is the last mine run to end this long era.
