◈ 197. The Age of Shields (3)

You could consider him a heartless human being who takes advantage of a young girl.

From the beginning, he was not a strong and righteous man like a hero who wanted to save the world.

Of course, it is the same now.

He wanted to hand over this heavy and painful task to someone who could protect and save the world in his place.

As you have more, you will find more reasons to protect it.

A huge amount of money that can allow you to live a life of luxury and the ability to create that money so easily.

It was actually really good.

They say that being rich has its drawbacks, but that’s nonsense.

It’s great to be rich.

It’s so good.

Money was what made people miserable and was the culprit that destroyed their self-esteem.

Jincheol put on all of King Kapu’s relics and entered the King Kapu’s ruins while the full moon was hanging in the sky.

It was a different scenery than when I came in before.

No, Jincheol became the ancient Kapu king.

‘Is this a fantasy?’

Many desert peoples revered King Kapu.

King Kapu walked proudly past his subjects and toward the great temple.

The sun and moon rising above the temple came into view at a glance.

The moon does not rise just because the sun has set, and the moon does not set just because the sun has risen.

The sun and the moon coexisted in the sky at times.

Jincheol climbed the stairs of the temple against his will.

As we reached the top of the stairs, we saw a large shield reflecting the sunlight.

This large shield seemed to reflect the sunlight towards the moon.

Originally, the moon was visible to the Earth by reflecting sunlight.

Of course, it would not be the case that the shield in front of the eyes reflected the sunlight and transmitted it to the moon.

Nevertheless, King Kapu reached out and grabbed the shield that was fully receiving the intense light of the sun.

It would be more correct to call it the shield of the sun rather than the shield of the moon.

When King Kapu raised his shield, all the sunlight that brightened the world gathered on the shield.

As soon as all the light was drawn in, the world became dark for a moment.

‘Japanese eclipse.’

The people below the temple let out gasps of awe at the phenomenon of the light disappearing from the world.

The use of natural phenomena by ancient rulers to control their subjects was a very effective means of governance.

It is as if their leader is an absolute being and they too can feel superior as subjects of such an absolute being.

The shield that had been exposed to sunlight began to emit light again after a while.

The world was reborn as the sun, which had been hidden by the moon, was revealed again.

King Kapu was now holding a spear instead of a shield in his hand.

It seemed as if the spear and shield were not separate but one.

Jincheol felt something strange as he watched the scene, but his will still remained completely uninvolved.

And then I could clearly hear King Kapu’s voice.

“This is the age of creativity.”

Jincheol did not understand what King Kapu meant when he said that this was the era of creativity.

Jincheol somehow felt as if King Kapu was looking at him.

“Until the era of the shield returns.”

And King Kapu held out his spear to Jincheol himself.

Jincheol, who took hold of the window, found himself standing in the middle of an ancient ruined site with the surrounding scenery disappearing.

“The Age of Creation. No. Should we now return to the Age of Shields?”

Although he did not understand what King Kapu was saying, he felt like he had some idea what he had to do.

Jincheol left the ruins of King Kapu holding the golden spear of the sun god.

Before I knew it, the sun had risen outside.

And I could see Lator with eyes that didn’t know English.

“Ruby?”

“I’m sleeping in the car, sir. But what about that?”

He didn’t know what had happened while he was in the ruins of King Kapu, but it seemed like he wasn’t the same Rathor as before.

“Is there going to be a solar eclipse soon?”

“It won’t be a solar eclipse, but there will be a lunar eclipse.”

“Is that so? Hmm! Where is it?”

“I will guide you.”

A lunar eclipse is a phenomenon in which the moon is covered by the Earth’s shadow.

It is a phenomenon that is observed quite by chance during the full moon period.

Of course, a lunar eclipse does not occur just because a full moon rises.

It was possible to enter the ruins of King Kapu during the full moon, and it seemed that a lunar eclipse, not a solar eclipse, was needed to return from the Age of the Spear to the Age of the Shield.

It was quite a coincidence, but Jincheol began to think that perhaps this was fate.

So, guided by Rathore, we headed to the place where the lunar eclipse was occurring.

Now that it was morning, we had to get to that location by night when the moon rose.

“Is it far?”

“I should be able to get there before the sun sets. But….”

“Don’t ask.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“what?”

Lathor spoke cautiously of another voice of will he had heard as his consciousness awoke.

“Sir. I… I don’t think it was me. I don’t remember.”

“It’s okay. After today, everything will be fine.”

“I heard a voice. He….”

“Him?”

“He created the monster.”

While driving, Latour glanced at Ruby, who was sleeping in the backseat.

At the mention of the monster he created, Jincheol was about to ask who he was when Ruby woke up and groaned as she sat up.

“Mr. Jincheol.”

“Are you awake?”

“Huh? Mr. Latour isn’t dead? Ah! That guy…, he’s not dead.”

Ruby noticed Lator driving in the driver’s seat and stared blankly, perhaps still half-asleep, before saying something somewhat incomprehensible.

But soon, Ruby, who seemed uninterested, told Jincheol that she was hungry.

Jincheol told Ruby that there was food in the bag in the backseat.

Ruby took out food from her bag one by one and ate it, then stared blankly out at the desert again.

“It’s pretty. Here. It’s green.”

“…….”

It was in the middle of a desert filled with nothing but sand and rocks.

But Ruby seemed to see something different.

I ran like that through the desert all day.

Before I knew it, the sun had set and I was able to arrive at a location where I could observe the lunar eclipse.

“Is there any high place nearby… or rather, any low place?”

“Are you talking about a low place?”

“Yes. Where the darkness is thickest.”

I felt like I had to do that, so I asked if there was a lowest point nearby, and Lator turned around to see if there was a place he could guess at.

Jincheol arrived at the concave land while watching the sky where the lunar eclipse was gradually occurring.

It was a hollow land where darkness lurked so deep that it seemed impossible to see even an inch ahead.

Moreover, as the full moon was covered by the Earth’s shadow, even the sky was turning dark.

Even if you try to go by car, it seems like there is a high risk of an accident going down the basin-shaped terrain.

Because of its large size, it seemed quite a distance to the center of the basin.

“Wait here.”

“Yes? Sir!”

Despite Rathore’s protests, Jincheol grabbed his spear and jumped down the steep cliff leading to the basin.

“Whew! Then shall we run?”

Judging by the full moon in the sky, it seemed like we would have to reach the center within an hour.

It was extremely dangerous because he couldn’t see even an inch ahead of him, but Jincheol started running, thinking that he wouldn’t even have time to hesitate.

The temperature was quite chilly, but as my body began to warm up, the cold went away.

I ran through the dark space as if I was running a marathon.

After running like that for almost an hour, a lunar eclipse finally began to occur in the sky.

“Whew! Looks like it’s just in time.”

Jincheol lifted the golden spear of the sun god.

As soon as the golden spear was raised, the lunar eclipse was complete and the golden spear immediately began to emit an intense light.

The vast basin area was filled with light emanating from the golden spear.

Even the moonlight had disappeared from the sky and the sky was filled with darkness, but in the basin area, an intense light stretched out toward the moon, and the moon that had lost its light regained its light.

The moon shield, which had absorbed the sunlight and turned into a golden spear, returned to its shield form as Jincheol had seen after emitting all the light.

“Is it now the age of shields?”

I couldn’t tell exactly what it meant.

I could only guess.

It was clear that the shield had to be kept in a safe place until the next Age of Spears came, although it was not known when it would return.

“So is it resolved now?”

Perhaps because the moon had regained its strength, the previously dark basin was now brightly lit.

The Moon Shield was returned to the Temple of the Golden Spear.

Thanks to that, solar winds no longer hit the ground.

Jincheol heard on the news that the Earth’s ozone layer had been restored.

The news was that as the Earth’s ozone layer thickens, people’s sensitivity to the sun’s ultraviolet rays, which cause skin cancer, is reduced.

The shield seemed to be doing its job, with news that the Earth’s previously irregular magnetic field had stabilized.

Of course, it could have been just a coincidence or superstition, but the age of the shield seemed to signify an era that reliably protected life on Earth.

So, one crisis seemed to have passed, but disasters that still threatened human civilization remained.

Disasters and catastrophes that have not yet been resolved are causing conflict and distrust among people.

Still, there was one reward.

It was possible to obtain the Sun Spear as a shield of the moon, not as a real one.

“It looks like this has its limits.”

Perhaps because it was an offensive weapon, it had powerful attack capabilities unlike the Moon Shield.

Of course, there was a usage limit, so I couldn’t use it as much as I wanted.

It seemed like I had to refill my ammunition by obtaining jewels from the underground ruins.

However, just like the previous Moon Shield, even if you fill the limit with jewels, if you keep using it, eventually you will no longer be able to use it.

However, Jincheol decided that such a powerful weapon should not be abused.

Of course, it was the weapon Jincheol needed right now.

“We need to find a cure or vaccine for the virus.”

I had to reclaim the dawn in a place full of the terrifying Haze Virus outbreak.

-Ready to fight.-

Viscount Vincent of England was the most active in helping Jin Cheol in this situation.

He was using all his personal wealth and influence to build a credible and powerful armed group.

Although it was possible to receive support from the Qingye, the Qingye government was controlled by the five Qingye families, but it was not the government itself.

Moreover, since only the heads of the family knew the truth about Jincheol, they were not very suitable for helping him directly.

Moreover, even the families of Cheongya, like Lathor, could not be trusted completely.

As hundreds of years passed, it was likely that the heads of the clans would not blindly follow Jincheol.

As the Haze virus outbreak and various food crises worsened, the Qingya government was trying to adopt isolationism.

As food production began in earnest at the food production base that Jincheol had created, measures were taken to restrict food exports.

Although South Korea was exporting the food it produced, food production in other regions was halted.

Trade was still taking place around the world, but the volume was reduced to less than half of its normal level.
