I Became a Soul Eater - I Became a Soul Eater chapter 142
It is not urgent to punish the chieftains. Rather, the priority was to obtain information from the books here.
I read ten thousand books. As the emperor said, there were not many records about Dongbangsak. Most of them were just mentioned in passing.
However, the fragmentary information about Dongbangsak made me convinced that Dongbangsak was a shark.
And I found a more important clue than the record about Dongbangsak. There were so many gods here. It is a dimension where there were suspiciously many gods in a small world that was not even developed, including the gods of ancient Greece, the gods of Northern Europe, and the gods of Asia.
But at some point, all those gods disappeared. There was a mention of that period. It is a record from the Han Dynasty, whose author is unknown.
Like the story of Merlin, it coincides with the time when the existing gods disappeared and new gods with temples appeared.
However, Dongbangsak’s appearance records continue to appear even after the existing gods disappear. The last record was about 500 years ago.
The first record is from the Middle Ages. If so, it would be a story that Shark lived here for over 3,000 years.
There is a story that Dongbangsak stole and ate the fruit of a god named Seowangmo.
It is a little questionable how he walked around this world while gaining godhood, but considering the fact that Gaia, the main deity of this world, does not interfere in the affairs of the world at all, it is not impossible.
To sum up Dongbangsak’s story, it is that he is an immortal man with a goblin-like appearance and a man with infinite martial arts skills.
I guess it was Shaq who spread martial arts in this world. There was a time when humans developed the basic martial arts taught by Shark on their own and prospered quite a bit.
In addition to that, there was quite a lot of knowledge that I could get from ten thousand books. Now that I had everything to gain, I was thinking about what kind of punishment I would give to the chiefs who played tricks on me.
The old people I met for the first time had the title of elder here, but they were against me to the end of reading.
But the chiefs did not listen. This will be the difference between those who have directly confronted the sword and those who have not.
Killing all the chieftains is not difficult, but doing so would jeopardize the Ming emperor’s position. No matter how nominal the emperor is, the treatment of the emperor is good, except for being confined underground. It is because the chieftains always have fanaticism.
I liked the Emperor. And I was a little bit pitiful. If the leaders of the fanatics change, it is obvious that the treatment of the emperor will deteriorate. Historically, the words of an emperor or a king without power are really pitiful.
When I came out of the study, the elders were waiting for me. It didn’t seem like they were waiting to attack. Do these grandparents usually have nothing to do?
“Would you like to take a break?”
“I saw everything. I want to see the chiefs.”
“Can you please have mercy?”
After all, the elders didn’t wait for me here because they had nothing to do. They were thinking that I would take revenge since they knew that their numbers were not going to work.
In preparation for the worst case, it seems that the elders and the masters hiding behind them gathered together to stop me by force, but it is meaningless.
It may be said that they mixed their hands, but the elders who had dealt with me knew that even if all the masters here attacked me, they could not do anything about me. Of course, I had no intention of fighting either. However, if he met the chieftains, he intended to use the power of disease to make them eunuchs or bald heads. Some may think that killing is more merciful, but isn’t life more important anyway?
“Zabira… If so, let me make a suggestion.”
“Tell me.”
“Please send me your inquiry. Don’t even think about harming us.”
“As long as the inquiry does not hostile us, we will.”
It was easier than I thought, and I was promised the safety of inquiries. However, it seems that it will not be easy for the inquiry to return to the Qing Dynasty officials. Even if you are a low-level knight level master, it is difficult for ordinary people to stop it if you decide to assassinate. It’s something I can’t always protect.
I was going to say hello to the emperor, but decided to stop because it was clear that if I did, a man named Yeong-ban, the golden guard, would come running at me with foam.
“Okay. Let’s trust the elders. Then the deal is over, so I’ll leave.”
Without having to leave the manor, I moved to Joseon on the spot.
Kim Hong-ki and Moon-in were unexpectedly in spirit, and in that short time, they formed a brother-in-law and were serving brother-in-law. Neither of them were very sociable people, but it seemed that the wave hit them in a strange part.
“Are you here?”
Inquiries were not surprised when they saw me suddenly popping out. There are very few people who are not surprised from the beginning when they see me suddenly popping out. Looking at Kim Hong-ki right away, I was still surprised every time I saw him.
We had dinner together for the first time. At first, I received a prize prepared by Kim Hong-ki’s wife, but the food here didn’t suit my taste, so I tried to cook it myself, but both Kim Hong-ki and his wife hated it. It seemed that there was such a custom that men were not allowed to enter the kitchen even in the presence of women.
So I took out the finished dish and set it up. Kim Hong-gi’s family was a bit taken aback when they first saw the dishes I served, but now they seemed to be secretly waiting, as if they had opened their eyes to the taste.
Inquiry’s eyes were shining more at the way I took out the dish out of the air than the dish itself.
While eating, he informed the inquiry about the transaction that took place there.
“I can’t go back to Cheong now.”
“Can I go?”
“no. It’s only on that side that you can’t hurt me because you’re paying attention to Germain, but it’s not a request.”
That was something I hadn’t thought of. If Moon, who was a spy dispatched from the Qing Dynasty, fails to report, he becomes a traitor.
“Right. my thoughts were short I’m sorry.”
“no. Did you save your life thanks to that? I’m just worried about my family back home.”
“How about bringing your family here?”
“It’s practically the only way.”
“Then just tell me where your family is and I’ll get them for you.”
It is not difficult to bring a few people if you know the location. The inquiry sighed heavily and asked cautiously.
“Germain-nim, I have a question for you.”
“If there is anything I can answer, I will answer.”
“Is Germain a human?”
“Hmm, to be honest, it’s hard to see him as a pure person. Fresh in the words of this place? It might be similar to that.”
“I see.”
Inquiry seemed to fall into deep thought.
“What do you think?”
“I thought what I should do to help Germain here. But it doesn’t come to mind easily because it doesn’t seem to lack anything.”
There are many things you need, but most of them can be procured by yourself, and the rest is an area where inquiries cannot help.
“I don’t think it’s that hard. All you have to do is help me in moderation while doing what you can.”
“Then let me help you here.”
Sparks flew at Hongki Kim, who was shoving the dish into his mouth without saying anything.
From noble mtl dot com.
“huh? Why me?”
“I’ll stay here and take a look. My younger brother seems to have talent in martial arts, but seems to be unable to take care of himself, so I am trying to fill that part.”
Kim Hongki’s mouth pouted. But no objections were made. It was also because of his looks, but it was also true that Kim Hong-ki had no talent for dating people or making money.
“Let it be. And if you’re going to do something, make it as big as possible. Making money is good, but I prefer organizations that can have an impact on the world.”
I took out all the Korean money I had and threw it in front of the door. I haven’t counted it exactly, but it’s quite a lot. You can tell by looking at Kim Hongki’s eyes widening.
“If it’s not enough, tell me, there are plenty more.”
“Can I do that?”
“why? Is there any reason not to?”
“I know that if a freshman interferes with the affairs of the lower world, it will be difficult to climb the ship.”
“I said it was similar to Shinseon, but it is not Shinseon. And something similar to the top line has already been done. I have work to do, so that’s what’s left.”
He said that if he gave the inquiry a few days at the end, he would organize his plan and let him know. There was nothing urgent anyway, so I told him to take it slow and went to his hometown with a copy of the letter the inquiry had written, showed the letter to his family, told them to pack the minimum amount of luggage, and moved it to Joseon.
Due to the sudden increase in the family, not everyone could stay at Kim Hong-ki’s house, so Inquiry had to run around to find a big house nearby.
After saying goodbye for a while, he returned home to France and reappeared in the social world. Now, she can be said to be a celebrity no matter where she goes in the social world of any European country. Rather, I would hear that the banquets to which I was absent were inferior.
Within a few days, Merlin had completed the second translation. Even though Merlin didn’t call me this time, when I went to find him first, Merlin showed a very displeased expression.
“Does it keep an eye on you and come only when there is something to do?”
“You can think of surveillance as just air.”
“Have I lived too long for the air to watch?”
The reason why Merlin grumbles so much is simple. Because they think they are not getting paid for their work.
“I’ll teach you more magic”
“A good world has come where the air can teach magic.”
This will change your attitude. Although Merlin is greedy for magic, it is more comfortable for me to come out like this.
“Is there anything more important this time than that?”
“I don’t know if I translated it correctly, but it turned out something strange. It might be what you are looking for.”
Merlin pointed to a portion of hieroglyphic records strewn about the table.
“It says that it is a small record board made of emerald, and it contains all the knowledge in the world.”
Uh, where do you think you’ve seen that?
“Considering the technology at the time, it would not be enough to engrave letters on emeralds. So I guess it’s just a green slate. Of course, if it was made by someone similar to you, there’s nothing that can’t be done, but at that level, I wouldn’t bother writing it on a stone tablet. And even for a being like you, wouldn’t it be difficult to find an emerald large enough to engrave a record?”
“So where is it?”
“That’s it, I don’t know. Other than that, there is no record.”
Once you get the interesting stuff right. if you can find it
“And finally, we are going to create an organization outside of Gaia.”
“That’s something you have to figure out.”
Although helping to recruit people, the internal operation was not interfered with at all.
“But I need your help. You know a lot of high-ranking nobles.”
“Aren’t there already many aristocrats in Gaia?”
“It’s not that much, but to do it right, you need a higher up. I didn’t know much, but this wasn’t normal.”
“What are you trying to do?”
“I’m trying to create a stonemason’s guild”
“You need the power of royalty for just that?”
Upon hearing the story from Merlin, it seemed that the interests involved in masonry were quite complicated.
“Then why is it a stonemason’s guild?”
“Because they are the ones who do the hardest work.”
He nodded his head as he understood something about it. It seems that people will seek God when they are having a hard time, but that is not the case. It may be so at first, but after a while you start to think that there is no God. Few people are better at preaching a new god than those who have forgotten the old one.
“So, what is the name of the masons guild you want to create?”
“Freemasonry”
