episode_0047
by admin… On the first day, I didn’t like the being I first met.
The reason was simple. We were technicians who had to make defense equipment against the Black Tortoise. We were technicians. We were people who had to strictly follow what we were told.
However, we should not break it. That is why we have established ourselves as a family that values loyalty.
So, as a family, we had to be able to judge what was right above all else. We had to be able to judge what the reason for the orders he gave was.
That’s why the child I saw wasn’t someone I liked.
Because he was a being who did not make judgments and only carried out orders given by his superiors. Such a being was dangerous.
Carrying out an order without understanding why it was given meant that you would follow it even if it was a wrong order.
But that was something I couldn’t help but understand after what he said next. That child was a “twin”, and that he was a twin from the Baekho family, which was even worse than the usual illegitimate child treatment, so I was able to understand a little bit.
‘I now understand why emotions seem so intense.’
If that’s the case, then no matter who came, there was no way they wouldn’t understand.
However, the way I saw him today was quite different.
It seemed like the appearance of intense emotions was disappearing. It was a little strange that the target was not family, but Jujak and Cheongryong.
The Red Bird and the Blue Dragon. I heard the story.
The story that they had cured the child of his poison was already spreading among the nobles.
Well, even though they are nobles, they are just the collateral branches of the Sashinsoo family and some powerful people…. Rumors have been circulating among the people for a long time that the head of the Baekho family cherishes illegitimate children.
Maybe it was because of that, but the child seemed to open up to them.
‘The way he plays and how emotional he looks… is a bit cute.’
Of course, it was clear that he was still a child with a long way to go. In fact, he was treated as a child by Nana, Cheongryong, and Jujak, but in terms of age, he was only 5 years old when he would be going through a coming-of-age ceremony.
‘It’s time for you to start using your abilities to the fullest, so I don’t think it’s right to call you a child…’
Still, it was inevitable that they would look younger. Even if their faces looked young, there was a bigger problem than that. Their actions looked young and cute.
It’s funny to know that a guy who will soon be an adult is still acting like that.
Of course, he probably received all the basic education a commoner should receive, but seeing him eat shaved ice like that… . It was just so cute.
“No! Don’t blow it, just eat it like crazy…! Hahahahaha!!”
It’s been a long time since I’ve smiled for no reason at the sight of them joking around and laughing at each other. That’s because it’s not as rewarding as seeing a well-made weapon, so I didn’t do it well.
Of course, there was a twin brother who couldn’t fit in with the atmosphere. It felt like I was seeing something I couldn’t trust. I felt like I would be able to live without any problems because I was able to carry on conversations with people and get along well.
But what I couldn’t understand was why that little tiger wouldn’t do well when they were together.
More than that, this time, the thing that Shinryong had requested was the problem.
‘I think it was 1000 amulets of protection.’
An amulet that warded off evil spirits and contained the essence and power of the Black Tortoise. In the first place, there was only one divine being in this world who could create an object that could ward off evil spirits.
Hyunmu.
Because that was our ability. But, excluding the invincible items, “Hobu” 1000 pieces? It was a strange amount.
I felt like he was someone who aimed to deal with liquid. I wanted to refuse, but I had no reason to.
Now we have twins born, and even if twins were born, it is unknown whether the twins would be able to completely prevent the “disaster”.
So I made up a plausible excuse for asking, but… .
‘If I think about what my father said….’
The families that know the most about the characteristics of liquid are the families of the Black Tortoise and the Red Bird. Of those two families, it was a rumor that only went around in our family… .
‘It’s faint, but I can feel the aura of goodness coming from him,’ was what my father said.
So, where are you going to use that fortune now?
Also, I couldn’t help but wonder what his purpose was. What he said so plausibly could actually be true.
They couldn’t refuse it. No, more accurately, they had no reason to.
Even now, the factories are running to make it.
‘… . Actually, I shouldn’t be playing around here right now.’
Still, it was fun to see these people playing like this.
‘Me too. I wonder if I’m getting older.’
While having such trivial thoughts, I was just enjoying this moment together.
The seven children who had been eating shaved ice began to talk to each other as if they were done playing.
“By the way, Lee Yeon-ah, are you okay about the pain you had last time?”
It was Jusan’s question. In fact, it was something to be curious about. The story that this young white tiger was sick was already widely spread in this country.
“Yes. Sorry for the inconvenience.”
As always, the answer was distant. Jusan looked slightly embarrassed at that sight and said.
“You don’t have to be so polite to me! I just want to be your friend!”
“… . Yes.”
Ignoring Lee Yeon’s trembling reaction, Cheongryong brought up the subject to change the subject.
“By the way, did you hear that?”
“What?”
“This time, the second coming of the liquid happened quickly.”
“The second coming of the liquid happened quickly? Is that possible?”
Joo San spoke as if he didn’t know. Although they were similar in age, Joo Han had not yet taught his child everything, so Joo San didn’t even know this basic knowledge.
“You, really don’t know- No. Well, it’s possible. So, it looks like all of us except you will go to war.”
“Why? Why am I not going?”
He asked as if he didn’t know. Cheongryong scratched his head and had difficulty explaining.
“No, that’s it.”
At that frustrating sight, Hyunmoo, who had been keeping his mouth shut, opened his mouth.
“Because the Shenlong is the last bastion.”
“The last bastion?”
“Yes. The strongest and greatest divine being, the only one who can look down on this world. While working on your abilities, haven’t you learned how to look after the country?”
How to look around the country. That is what is meant by a thousand-mile path, the method by which one can see everything in the world.
“Ah, uh.”
“You do not have any specific abilities like ours. However, you can look after the world, give orders to us, and when the only country in this world seems to be on the verge of destruction, you, or rather, the dragon, are granted divine transformation.”
It was the first time Lee Yeon had heard of this story.
In the first place, this kind of story is not properly known to anyone other than the official successor. That was the story I was talking about.
“Is that it?”
“Yes. The Azure Dragon is incomparable, and is known to grow so large that it can cover all the continents on this earth.”
“… … . I see. Somehow, you guys can turn into animals at will, but I can’t. Why didn’t Dad tell you?”
“… We don’t know that either. Perhaps, His Majesty has his own will.”
It was natural for the young beasts to not know. This was largely because they were not acquainted with the omnipotent and omniscient dragon, nor were they beasts who had lived in the world for over 30 years.
“But that’s not it. What.”
Cheongryong looked at Lee Yeon for a moment, wondering if this was a bit against the rules, but in the end, he thought that this was something that the child should have known about in the first place.
I thought about it like that and let it go.
Lee Han glanced around, feeling a little uncomfortable.
The person whose perception Lee Yeon had previously spoken of as not changing was exactly this type of person. A person who believes in and relies on what he has learned, and who wants to talk but does not talk.
That was the reason he continued to secretly fear Lee Yeon, but he didn’t know it.
What he didn’t know was that the other gods thought it was okay to talk about this and were therefore keeping quiet.
Still, the most fortunate thing was that he had some sense.
However, there was one person who didn’t notice the situation at the time.
“Can I hear that?”
That’s right, our very cute tiger cub, Baek I-yeon, who thinks his position is the lowest.
