Lawmaker, Live Again - Episode 571
Chapter 571
‘The chocolate must have arrived soon.?’
Before leaving for duty, I received well-dried cacao beans from Namman and used them to make chocolate..
It wasn't something a person would do, but time passed quickly..
The amount of chocolate prepared that way was not that large..
I ate one or two to taste, and it was nice because it reminded me of my hometown, Earth..
Master and Yuho also had a good meal..
So, I turned to Pyo Guk and became friends with my younger brothers..
And lastly, I sent it to someone I was thankful for..
Did you get hit in the mouth??
‘If I had known this would happen, I would have brought plenty of food..’
The more I think of weather like this, the more I think of chocolate..
It was like that..
As we headed towards the northernmost end of the lake in the distance, a tall and huge mountain appeared like a folding screen..
Could it be the heat from the volcanic zone? Trees and grass are finally starting to appear on the snow-covered mountains..
A huge structure appeared on the mountainside..
“It's the North Sea Ice Palace! As the name suggests, it looks like a huge royal palace..”
Gongson Young also added a word..
“I settled on top of a volcanic field. I wonder if it would be a little colder there.?”
The prince shook his head at those words..
“They use a lot of ondol there too. Didn’t they say everything they could to bring craftsmen to a place like this and install ondol??”
Jin Cheon-hee nodded at those words..
“That's right. However, there is a difference between freezing temperatures at night and freezing temperatures during the day..”
Gongsunyoung nodded at those words..
“that's right. How much difference is there??”
“Umm. Once you get in, you'll understand..”
Han Bing only answered like that..
As the structure got closer and closer, I realized that this was not just a castle..
First of all, the scale was incredibly grand..
The North Sea Ice Palace itself was like a city..
In fact, in addition to the people of the North Sea Ice Palace, there were people who appeared to be from the Kingdom of Aisha, and these people naturally spoke the language of the Kingdom of Aisha..
the prince said.
“Strictly speaking, the North Sea Ice Palace also belongs to the territory of the Aisha Kingdom. The lord of the North Sea Ice Palace has held the title of duke for generations..”
Gongsunyoung said.
“The name of the city is called Baihu City (白湖市) in the Hua Empire..”
It means city of white lakes..
Of course, the city has a different name..
It's called Severobaikalks..
“You live well… … . It's not just a simple martial arts sect.?”
The prince nodded at Gongsunyoung’s words..
“It is no exaggeration to say that it is actually a small kingdom, as they have been maintaining their position since before the kingdom was established. It is for that reason that the title was inevitably given..”
Jin Cheon-hee thought about those words..
‘At this level, he is at the level of a warlord in the Fire Empire. In the style of this town, it is a lord itself..’
In fact, he was even given a title..
Perhaps because they are outside the country, they are actually treated as nobles with autonomy..
Even leaving aside the warriors of the North Sea Ice Palace, just mobilizing private soldiers would be quite a big deal..
Of course, if you lead a private army south, the Chinese Empire will respond with war, so there will not be a large number of people moving..
Moreover, there is a difference between a fight between factions and a war between countries..
In the case of fights between clans, you cannot dominate the local area just because you annihilated the opposing clan..
The reason is simple.
Because there is no taxation or administrative power..
The business rights, interests, and land owned by the sect will be obtained, but in the end, taxation and administrative rights will be held by the emperor and distributed to officials..
Sometimes, when you make a big contribution, all they do is give you a prestigious position..
In a way, it can be said that it is a system that prevents powerful people from becoming warlords..
‘It's a pain in many ways. Still, I'm glad that we signed a treaty with the Kingdom of Aisha this time. The Kingdom of Aisha itself will not take any military action for at least twenty years..’
That's how I entered Baekho City..
Baekho City does not have its own walls..
The North Sea Ice Palace is located halfway up the mountain, and there is a city at the bottom of the mountain..
“What do you think? Would it be better to go straight to the North Sea Ice Palace??”
Jin Cheon-hee lowered his head..
“First of all, since night is slowly coming, let's stay in the guesthouse for a night and go to the Beihai Ice Palace early in the morning..”
“That's a good idea. Because first impressions are important.”
There was one more reason.
‘I need to find out how the North Sea Ice Palace works..’
In this polar area, it is difficult to extract information from Opening or Haomun..
In the first place, it was a neighborhood where beggars froze to death, and Joong-won-in was so conspicuous in the bar..
In some ways, it is a situation where you have to enter in the dark, but if you enter the palace without such investigation, it will be late..
Before that, we need to do some preliminary research on how the situation here works..
Jin Cheon-hee put on the bear hat attached to her robe and solemnly, solemnly and seriously tried to listen to what was said around her..
As we were walking around looking for accommodations, the prince excitedly said he was happy to be out..
“Baekho City is a center of trade. Well, it can be called a center because there are no cities other than here..”
“Are there more people living up here? crazy.”
Gongsunyoung grumbled..
“Well, it's a cold that's hard for people from the Middle East to endure. If you take a boat out on the lake and head southwest, you will come across cities that are not affiliated with any country. Don't trade with there. But I can't think of a city like Hangzhou where you were..”
“There is a difference in population..”
“yes. Anyway, commerce is developed, and there are quite a few boats anchored on the lake. It's a lake, but it also acts as a port..”
“How amazing. That's what happens when the lake is this big..”
“That's the way it is.”
With that said, I continued moving to find a suitable guest room..
Then, suddenly, at the end of the alley, I saw soldiers from the Sadyoryun faction..
Although they are said to be wearing the military uniform of the Sadōryun, they are also covered in fur, making it difficult to recognize them. I recognized it by looking at the scabbard..
Especially in this neighborhood, the group of midfielders stands out so much..
‘Hmm, are you here because of the alliance? The preparations for the civil war are going very smoothly..’
If the North Sea Ice Palace of Saeedo enters Sapa, the blow to the Murim Alliance will be severe..
‘In the first place, does it make sense that the clans are jeopardizing land rights and tax rights? Why on earth is this guy entering Sapa instead of claiming it as a kingdom??’
Jin Cheon-hee thought.
Our teacher contributed greatly to the empire and became a Uigukbaek, so our teacher is called a kkakdugi..
Anyway, those with land rights and tax rights should not be classified as warlords, not clans, and be included in this political war..
While Jin Cheon-hee was turning around, a group of sado-ryuns came this way..
It looks like they recognized Jin Cheon-hee right away..
“I never thought I'd see daylight this far away!”
there is a problem.
The author immediately recognizes Jin Cheon-hee, but Jin Cheon-hee does not know this guy..
However, Kangho Land is not a one-two day event. Kangho finished the meal with Jjambap and laughed lightly..
“Wow, hello.?”
I didn't say it's been a while.
Even if you try Hyeonwonjeondanshinkong for a hundred days, you still don’t know this bastard..
“See you later. I say that I am Cheolmubaek of Cheolmumun..”
Iron gate?
It's an unknown sentence I've never heard of. However, it means that the place is quite large enough to send people like this..
“This time, the Apostolic Alliance underwent internal reform and became governed by the Twelve Apostles rather than the Eight Apostles. Our Cheolmumun is a sect that has newly become an official of the Apostolic Alliance. Please take good care of us from now on..”
Even if you search through the contents of the Supreme Heavenly Demon with the Xuanyuan Zhendan New Technique, there is nothing about the Iron Mumen..
‘Why did you show up at this time? It's strange to just see it as a butterfly effect.…….’
I also recalled Hao Wen’s biographical dictionary one by one..
This is a biographical dictionary created by Sima Xuan, and although it does not contain in-depth information, it still includes all those who are considered significant..
If you're an executive, you're probably in it. Nevertheless, it does not exist anywhere in the biographical dictionary..
‘In other words, it was a very small sect that suddenly grew big..’
Does this work??
In addition, the position of executive was not won through a Hwatu, and the energy that was radiating was unusual..
At least similar to Sunji Gongsonyoung or better if he is hiding his cards..
‘If he went into the mountain as a member of a mysterious sect and now came out after breaking the seal, that could be the case..’
But isn’t it Sapa?.
If I had the disposition to go into the mountains and cultivate the noble way, I would have joined the righteous sect or the Apostolic training.?
He said.
“The North Sea Ice Palace has already decided to form an alliance with the main ryeon, so please leave now..”
Did you use your hand first?.
However, Jin Cheon-hee did not stop smiling..
“Hahaha, thank you for your hard work in this cold weather. However, I also brought a gift from Master, so it is my duty as a disciple to pass it on. Still, thank you for your concern even though it is our first meeting. Cheolmubaek Daehyeop. From now on, you'll probably hear a lot more from anonymous names..”
‘'How can I live by trusting only what you say about a guy I've never known before?' he said gracefully and fed me, and then smothered me with exaggerated gestures..
At those words, Cheolmubaek’s expression crumples slightly..
“hmm… … . As rumored, you are arrogant. Well, in that case. Then, I'll see you next time..”
He ended it and headed somewhere else..
The number of moving groups is approximately twenty-eight..
There would be more if there were people waiting first or joining later..
“It's strong?”
“yes. It's strong. And I don't fall for provocation. I scratched to see if I could dig up anything..”
“……you are real That personality.”
“why? Can't you even give this much to a guy who is trying to form an alliance to fight a political war? He's moving in groups now and wants to go to war..”
“That's Gangho and blood storm. no… No, it's okay. You dirty congressman..”
“Puhehehe.”
Jin Cheon-hee smiled like a fool on purpose..
“Anyway, seeing as it doesn't seem like it has any intention of responding to my provocation, there's a lot to guess about that..”
“hmm?”
Gongsunyoung tilted his head..
Prince Hanbing, who was quietly crossing his arms next to him, asked:.
“So, how far have you seen the only disciple of the Zhuge family??”
“Umm. It's rather burdensome to see your face painted with gold like that. It's just nothing. It's a strong, completely unheard of sect, but this guy with a quiet personality came as an envoy of the Apostolic Alliance. That guy fell out of the sky?”
“so?”
“Rather than that, I thought it would be more realistic to send someone from a large, secretive pseudo-religion..”
“Demonic religion? Blood mission? Guess where??”
“…….”
Jin Cheon-hee did not answer that question..
I just changed the topic like this.
“I just think it would be a bit of a pain in the ass..”
So the group stayed at an inn..
* * *
I stayed at an inn and ordered a meal..
It was a dish made by boiling sheep milk and tasted similar to a modern stew..
Combined with firewood-grilled lamb skewers, it was a delicacy..
The lamb skewers had a meaty smell, but surprisingly, they were not fishy and instead had a rich flavor..
I was just curious as to what spices were used..
“Okay, it's all just a side dish to drink. The Beihai Ice Palace are people who know the capital. cancer!”
Gongsunyoung was so excited that he held a lamb skewer in one hand and a glass of wine in the other and had a good time giving and receiving it..
“Hey, benefactor kid. Lighten up your expression. What were you thinking so hard about earlier??”
“Ah, sister.”
“If there's an answer right away, I'll go and solve it. Otherwise, just enjoy it. It's not polite to make a porridge in front of such delicious food..”
“That's right.”
“In that sense, alcohol!”
And isn't that pouring alcohol into a glass of water?.
“sister!”
“It's cold. Let's warm up. Because if you do that, nothing will work out..”
Ugh.
Jin Cheon-hee sighed softly and eventually swallowed the drink that Gongsunyoung poured for him..
‘Ugh. When I go out with my sister, I get drunk too, won..’
Is this why they say it’s hard work and hard work?.
If you travel with Juju, you have no choice but to become Juju together..
