Chapter 145
145Living conditions of the Hwa Kikkiru people
An inspection team comes from the United Nations..
When this news came, the believers in the pantheon all thought this way:.
""What is coming has come!!""
Yes, if you think about it, you have no choice but to admit that the behavior of the pantheon is very different from the common sense of modern Earth..
Even if the enormous tax structure of ten structures is a huge welfare cost,…….
"Starting with sugar salt water, you're out. Not to mention working 20 hours a day.."
"Even if the trainees only stay like that for a month, the engineer cadets are not treated like human beings at all.."
"Did you see the expressions of the 2nd class driver cadets this time? I was completely lost.."
"They were treating me like an intern, taking away my salary, and then taking away my salary through 'voluntary' donations, and they were trying to keep up with the ten structure.."
Well, let's say that's it for now..
With sugar salt water, you just have to endure the training period, and when you actually attack the gate, you have a proper field meal..
Surprisingly, the ten-structure, the most vicious structure, does not feel like a loss thanks to the infinite welfare structure..
Right now, the knights' star iron weapons alone are legendary equipment worth billions of won, and the star iron content weapons issued to soldiers are worth hundreds of millions of won..
Since I will never be able to see such luxury goods in my life, I have no choice but to be tolerant of the ten structure of giving everything and taking it away..
There was a separate problem.
"The serfs... Isn’t it a problem??"
"……uh."
Su-ho is left speechless by Jae-hyuk’s words. Cheon So-yeon sharply retorted..
"They're devil followers. It's not a person. Senior Hari thinks so too.?"
"Yes, but… … Does the Human Rights Commission think so too??"
"……."
yes this is the problem.
The Survivors' Human Rights Committee under the United Nations is sensitive to the right to survival of people of different races beyond the gate. Even if it is half-human and half-horse, it is clearly an intelligent being. How are they treated here?──
[Strike down fiercely, you servants of the evil species.!!]
While forcing the Suicide Squad, which ridiculously surpasses Kamikaze,──
[Kikluk? Why stop? Hard? Radiation exposure? Noooooo I don’t have enough energy. In order for organic matter with insufficient content to overcome the machine, it must have strength. Work more, slave..]
Falling rocks, many people with poor sexual performance... A mercilessly vicious killing machine with a 77% mortality rate.…….
[Oh my, this test subject is fresh. Everyone was in bad shape after rolling rough... … Our test subject friend. Can you tolerate pain well??]
hmm. The first two cases are scary in that they are humane..
"……It's dangerous?"
Apart from their reasonable concerns, Leon did not think much of the inspection team..
"Hmm, what are you so worried about? If you have no shame on your conscience, there is no need to worry.."
"your majesty… Still……."
"That is, the eyes of the public.."
"Uh huh, even if they say there's nothing to worry about."
"……."
No. Persuasion doesn't work at all.
If things continue like this, UN sanctions and global criticism will come.!
"your majesty!"
"……."
Leon glanced at Han Ha-ri, who raised her hand. She spoke with a determined expression..
"Sir Yappy and I would like to welcome this UN inspection team! Please leave it to me!"
-Kikluk?
Why did you put me there??
Yapi tilted his head and showed a puzzled emoticon..
* * * *
UN inspectors arrive.
The Hunter Association was waiting with the government limousine bus from Incheon Airport..
"My name is Oh Kang-hyuk, the president of the Hunter Association.."
"This is Luise, Secretary-General of the UN Survivors' Human Rights Committee. It is an honor to meet a Korean legend.."
Louise was suspicious as to why the head of the Korean Hunter Association was waiting for her..
I heard from Dennis that the Korean government and the association have a close relationship with the pantheon. Is this unspoken pressure??
'Hmph, you want to take the initiative? There's no way.'
Louise is a woman who has defended the human rights of survivors in many powerful and dictatorial countries. She said this level of pressure has always been on her..
"Our Association's Assistant Manager Han Ha-ri will guide you, Secretary.."
As Oh Kang-hyuk spoke, a young-looking girl in a suit approached and nodded..
"This is Assistant Manager Han Ha-ri! Please take care of me!"
significant… No, his English skills would not be strange even if he were a native..
"You still look young, but your British accent is perfect. I heard that Koreans are very passionate about education. Have you ever studied abroad??"
"yes? ah! no. I am a native Korean. I'm speaking Korean now."
"yes?"
Hari smiles at Louise, who looks puzzled, and shows the choker-shaped mechanical device on the back of her neck..
"It’s a real-time interpretation machine. It was made by a very smart person.."
"Korean technology is amazing... … . I saw the Magic Tower use an artifact with an interpretation spell, and it's even more perfect than that.."
How can an interpretation machine even imitate native pronunciation? Louise wondered if this was really a machine..
"Haha, sufficiently advanced technology is no different from magic. Now, take it here. These machines will meet from now on... No, he will also interpret the Krashatriya language.."
That was a welcome thing. It is said that the survivors can interpret as if they were passive, but the pronunciation structure of the Kikkiruk tribe was so different that it was difficult to understand their language..
If you have this translator, you won't have any trouble interpreting..
"But I understand that Miss Han is a member of the Pantheon.?"
"One assistant manager is technically a dispatched employee. Korea’s First Survivor Guild Association is also keeping a close eye on it.."
The survivors come from a world with a different common sense than Earth. It is common for guides to be dispatched to help such people adapt to modern civilization..
The association's response and consideration could be said to be quite exemplary. but…….
'Government agencies and private guilds are too close..'
Secretary Luise boarded the limousine bus despite being suspicious of the association..
"The first place you will head to is Mokpo. There are currently 18,744 Krashatriyas living in the country.."
"It's less than the original number. Was there population movement??"
"Ah, yep! Currently, 3,251 Krashatriyas are working at the Manshinjeon headquarters in Naju Plain.."
"hmm… As far as I know, the Krashatriyas are a race that lives in the ocean. They operate in inland areas, are there any inconveniences??"
"They formed a residential area on the banks of the Yeongsan River, which runs across the plains. This is also a matter of likes and dislikes, but it is possible to function with a similar amount of water as a human.."
In short, it meant that as long as there was water, there would be no problem with inland activities..
Mokpo City, where we arrived after a few questions were asked on the bus, is a typical port city..
On the beach, residents and the Kikkiruk tribe were coming and going and interacting with each other, and I didn't feel any sense of discomfort, perhaps because it had become an everyday scene..
"Most of the Krashatriyas are active here and have exchanges with Mokpo citizens. Since the Krashatriyas moved in, the population has increased by about 10%, so the local economy is becoming more active.."
UN inspectors checked something under Hari's guidance. That was basically a positive conclusion, and it is..
"I heard that the Krashatriyas live by the sea. Due to the nature of the port city, it seems that territorial disputes with fishermen may arise, but what is the reality??"
"Oh, Mokpo is a consumer city with a reduced fishing industry and a shipbuilding and heavy industry industrial complex, so there is no major friction. There are small fishing boats roaming around, but they are collaborating with the Krashatriya tribe.."
"I don't think that's enough jobs.?"
What is important in the observation of survivors' human rights is the overall right to survival of survivors..
The right to housing is important, but a steady and non-discriminatory working environment is the most important part of survivors' human rights..
"that's very fine!"
Hari squared his shoulders and was confident..
"Many of the Krashatriyas are being invested in government-sponsored marine pollution cleanup projects! There is considerable skill in aquaculture, as trash and net fragments are recovered from the bottom of the sea and fish is the staple food.."
"surely… The proportion of money invested in government projects is high. Besides that, a shipwright? This is a bit surprising."
"Ah, that's Lord Yapi's mission to train Krashatriya technicians... No, it's the shipbuilding industry that incorporates new technology, supported by Lord Yacht Spinner.."
Yakt Spinner. Louise knows that reputation well. I heard that it is a super AI robot. Although there is a law for survivors, there is a lot of controversy about whether robots should be treated as human beings..
Anyway, since the shipbuilding industry incorporating new technology is being invested, I thought there would be no loss of jobs even if excluded from government projects..
In most cases, government projects that mobilized survivors were seasonal businesses, and only temporary employment was provided with subsidies, and the jobs were very unstable..
"This is a residential area for the Krashatriya people and is divided into a special administrative district near the beach.──"
-Kwakwang!
It was then. As we were heading towards the Kikki Ruk tribe's residence, a loud roar erupted from the beach..
"What's going on?!"
"Ah, um… It's no big deal!"
Louise narrowed her eyes at Hari's suspicious appearance. Although Hari was troubled, he spoke honestly..
"It's probably the sound of Krashatriya commandos training.."
"……Krashatriya Commando?"
"Among the Krashatriyas, more than 3,000 people are warriors. Recently, His Majesty ordered maritime training, so we are conducting repeated training.."
Use survivors as soldiers or hunters. That in itself was the most obvious occupation of the survivors..
Isn't that the reason why the Orcs, the most prosperous race at the moment, are recognized despite their viciousness?.
Races that were born with outstanding physical abilities boasted combat power comparable to that of the hunters who awakened at the gate..
The inspection team looked at the lifestyle and residential area of the Kikki Ruk people for a while, left a record and headed to the next inspection target..
* * * *
"You are adapting very well.."
"Yes, Secretary. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the best example in terms of housing and employment for the Krashatriya people.."
"Above all, we are carefully distinguishing the pros and cons of each race and working to integrate them without causing conflict with existing residents. The evaluation of the Krashatriyas in the city is good.."
This was evidence that the integration of the Kikkiruk people was carried out systematically and calculatedly..
I don't know who came up with the plan, but the fact that there is almost no conflict with existing residents is an achievement that is close to a miracle..
Not to mention the Orcs, the Dwarves caused landslides while digging up intact mountains, and the Elves, who grew forests in urban areas, frequently clashed with humans..
Different races with completely different ideologies and cultures could not easily integrate into the culture and lifestyle of human society, and when this worsened, it even resulted in a 'coup d'état'..
Isn't an Orc coup d'état a frequent occurrence in the splintered Chinese continent?.
"The pantheon is operating sufficiently rationally and rationally towards these races. It is not a one-sided support phase, but a mutually beneficial situation.."
"Even if the YouTube video is to some extent a propaganda video, it is a very ideal situation.."
"Religious spread also proceeded quite smoothly. From what I heard, the entire Krashatriya tribe worships the god of the sea and waves.."
"It seems like he worships Leon the Lionheart King to a similar degree. Have you seen the statue in the middle of the sea??"
"That enormous statue. That means their reverence is deep.."
"There were no problems during the interview with the Krashatriyas. Their approval rating is absolutely absolute.."
The more I listen to it, the weirder it gets..
Although Leon had some common sense as he came from a different world, he was basically just and good and seemed to be revered as a leader..
The atmosphere in Korea is not bad either..
Many people say that his personality is a bit old-fashioned, but he is fair and passionately pursues justice..
What's worse, would he be overwhelmingly first in the graph assuming the case where the Lionheart King runs in the next presidential election??
He brought many changes to Korea.
So far, only positive influence has been spread to the extent that there is no negative atmosphere at all..
How could he commit such merciless atrocities just because he was a prisoner??
Isn't it incoherent??
Before coming here, Luise carefully reviewed the Pantheon YouTube videos, testimonies, and activity history, and the more she got to know Leon, the more she could not help but develop a favorable impression..
The old-fashioned way of thinking is a cultural difference, and although he is a royal from a medieval worldview, he has never caused harm in his dealings with President Ahn or others, even if he is authoritarian..
Isn’t he a hero among heroes who receives absolute support not only in Korea but also in Japan?.
'Maybe it's a misunderstanding…….'
Would such a righteous hero treat him harshly just because he was a prisoner??
Wouldn't they have tried to integrate in a moderate and correct way like the Kikkiruk tribe??
In fact, isn't all this information stemming from a misunderstanding??
"Arrived! This is the headquarters of the pantheon! Naju is a sacred place!"
And there Louise realized.
"We are happy.."
"Waaaa, long live the Lionheart King!."
"Abuse? There is no such fact at all!"
"We are being treated humanely and are living peaceful days.."
"Forced labor? no! That's not true at all! It's something we do voluntarily.!"
Everyone claims there is no abuse or massacre as promised..
I am receiving humane treatment and living peaceful days..
But why…….
From the eyes of half-demon people who say happiness──
''Please save me.''
Are there desperate eyes forming??
