Lawmaker, Live Again - Episode 748
Chapter 748
How long has it been? Yeo Ha-ryun looked down and said.
“It seems safe here..”
Everyone went up at those words..
My eyes sting from the light.
After adjusting to the view and looking around, three stone houses appeared. There are no people, and the houses have been abandoned for a long time..
I could see the royal road, Namtz, in the distance..
“I guess this is a passage they don't know about..”
“huh. Since the foundation is an underground ruin, the road was very twisted. There seemed to be a lot of hidden facilities..”
“What are you going to do from now on??”
Jin Cheon-hee scratched his head..
“First of all, about that golden mask, he didn't take it off until the end. So, you have no intention of revealing your identity to me. I don't want to hurt diplomacy..”
“Is it the nature to solve problems beneath the surface??”
“It's a calculation rather than a disposition. One way or another, the Hua Empire is a gangster. It's not something I should say when I'm being carried along as well..”
Jin Cheon-hee laughed bitterly..
The only envoy was dispatched and then died, and even if it were disguised as an accidental death, it is unclear how much the emperor would accept it..
On the contrary, if they bring in the siege artillery that was used against the Sukshin tribe to use that as an excuse to rip off the land, they are the ones who will be bothered..
So, you want to stop pretending and let it go as quickly as possible..
‘Our gangsters are very dependable.’
Jin Cheon-hee continued..
“for now… … Joining the military unit. We need to finalize trade. And after sending all the lawmakers away, I'll pretend to go back and get out later on my own. And I should join you.”
“Are you trying to avoid getting involved with the military??”
“Even though the Fire Empire is a bit of a thug, it really can't start a war, right? This country is already at its limits.”
“And my brother hates war the most.”
“okay. We'll be handling things in a similar way behind the scenes. Officially, they have no choice but to leave me alone..”
“They will attack you from the shadows, but.”
keung!
If Hwang-gu is coming, he raises his head stiffly as if telling him to come..
Sometimes he loses face because of the super expert's hiding, but Hwanggu is still Hwanggu..
Still a great help.
Jin Cheon-hee folds her arms and is lost in thought..
“But it’s complicated… Complex. In the case of bloodshed, the royal family led human sacrifices and had witch doctors in charge. And even blood missions.”
“The Beihai Ice Palace Lord at least knew that he was wrong..”
“okay. But this side doesn't have any doubts that they are wrong. Is there a way for everyone to be happy in this situation??”
Jin Cheon-hee laughed bitterly..
Even in children's fairy tales, there is no happy ending for the princess and the witch..
“Okay then, let’s part ways for a moment. hungry.”
“i get it. Be sure to replenish your stamina. brother.”
Jin Cheonhee nodded..
“You too, eat well. Then, Ilkana Teksa. And others, please take care of my younger brother..”
When you say that, isn’t that a deep respect?.
“brother. That's the only thing I would do to my subordinates.…….”
Yeo Ha-ryun became a little embarrassed..
* * *
As soon as Jin Tianxi returned, he took care of a lot of things..
Now that the work is done, the lawmakers have been safely sent back. Since he returned with the government troops, he was able to quickly reach the Hua Empire without much risk..
The cavalry of the Hua Imperial Army was also notified that the work was completed..
The final meeting with the king.
“Now the rinderpest is almost all gone. Thank you very much. I appreciate it greatly.”
He chuckled and expressed his gratitude to Jin Tianxi..
‘Doesn’t the king know what happened in the underground ruins? Or is it like this even after knowing it?.’
Looking at the movements of the facial muscles, it didn't look like he was lying. Of course, there are some experts who even cheat on that..
“That's too much praise..”
There is a high possibility that they did not see the accident happen for some reason..
‘It's a shame, I could have gotten more out of it if I had talked to the Golden Mask longer..’
However, the other person was also a person with a deep heart..
Didn't you keep your words to a minimum in order not to give any information to Jin Cheon-hee?.
the king said.
“Well, I'm sorry, but I have a favor to ask of you, the saint renowned for your faithfulness and the one who removed rinderpest..”
Jin Cheonhee’s eyes widen slightly..
‘Hmm?’
“what's going on?”
“Now, a strange disease has occurred in the royal capital. I don't know the cause... … . I want to reveal it and ask for treatment..”
Strange disease? It's a weird thing.
Jin Cheonhee’s eyes narrowed..
“I gladly accept it..”
“Oh, thank you. The prince will be with you.”
“Instead, I would like you to increase your stake in the mine.?”
A conspiracy is a conspiracy and what needs to be ripped off must be ripped off..
‘Master, disciple earns money. just wait.’
* * *
Haven't they already been ripped off enough to be ripped off?.
Jin Cheon-hee was confident even when the old king criticized her by asking how much more he was going to take..
No matter what, you have to eat something, right?.
In particular, you must not spare your body in order to harvest the herbs, spices, and specialty products of the Damjin Kingdom..
And there's one more thing.
‘glass. The glassworking skills are amazing..’
Glass was crafted using witchcraft, a technique that was difficult to replicate even in the Central Plains..
In the first place, since the spirits of this world are like the district mayor, it was not a problem that could be brought in by kidnapping a shaman..
‘If you use the upper part, too much is taken in the middle, so I would like to develop a distribution network independently with the glass shamans here..’
I'm not doing this just to get a beautiful glass bottle..
‘better lens.’
Because there are endless things that glass can do..
So we arrived at the place where the mysterious disease was located, along with the prince and his bodyguard..
“I feel like I'm dying because people nearby are experiencing the same symptoms..”
“Hmm?”
At that time, Hwanggu barked loudly near the oasis..
The water must have been contaminated since I didn't even touch the tip of my tongue..
‘Is it a waterborne disease??’
It's common in this world. And it's fatal too.
Jin Cheon-hee first met the patients and took their pulse. Observe the condition and ask about the condition of the stool..
Diarrhea, bloody stool, mucus, fever, and abdominal pain.
Fortunately, there were clear common symptoms among the patients..
I stayed here for a long time and observed it closely..
‘It probably looks like bacterial dysentery.…….’
Jin Cheon-hee knows this well. Because it is a common infectious disease even in rivers and lakes..
In Korea, it is a group 1 infectious disease, and is often transmitted through feces excreted by patients or carriers..
To put it this way, 'Can I get caught because I eat poop?' There are cases where people think this, but usually infection occurs through contaminated water or contaminated hands..
Even a very small amount can cause infection, and because of the bloody stool, dysentery is also called red blood..
‘Buddha also died of dysentery..’
The spread of dysentery is frightening..
Is it so bad that it can be said that just saying good morning is enough?.
Rather than penicillin, which blocks bacterial cell wall synthesis, antibiotics that block protein synthesis themselves work better..
‘There is streptomycin.’
Geumho Shindan.
But of course, since we are not a strong team, we are short on supplies..
And if you force a small amount into this situation, you will only be increasing your tolerance..
‘Symptomatic treatment will be the mainstay.’
While he was thinking like that, the prince came to his side..
“How is it? It was order and peace that was maintained through the sacrifice of a few people. This happened because you burned the roots of the mature tree and the water was not purified..”
At that moment, a cold feeling rushed around Jin Cheonhee..
sssss-
In an instant, frost formed around the area. A level beyond that of a spirited merchant.
Jin Cheon-hee was just spreading cold with anger..
“Saint Jin Cheon-hee. Can you save us and them??”
“……It seems like you look better with the mask off than with it on..”
golden mask.
“As expected, you are not surprised. I wasn't expecting any fuss, but I was hoping she would be a little shocked..”
“Because there were only three suspects..”
prince radan.
He was the person who personally welcomed Jin Cheon-hee when he first came as an envoy..
“As I descended into the underground city, I was curious about how water flows, but surprisingly, the answer was simple..”
“The magic that goes into it is complicated. Human sacrifice may seem simple, but it is quite delicate..”
Are there only four pseudo-believers I've met so far?.
Blood missionary, demonic religion, blood immortality…….
“It seems like a long way from the existing teachings of Lamaism. What do you call it??”
“It is called Maitreya Bridge..”
Lastly, Maitreya Bridge.
‘For some reason, the demons came running and turned on the surround speakers, saying that Maitreya was coming..’
It was like that. These four were friends I met as soon as I came to Sae-oe..
In this town where human sacrifice is practiced as if it were a traditional culture, the Demonic Cult has become the weakest of the Four Great Heavenly Kings..
‘It would be better for the Demonic Cult to rule. Cancer world, cancer world.’
This may be why the Demonic Cult walks around with its head held stiffly..
By the standards of the Central Powers, they are a cult that should be eliminated, but in this neighborhood, they are a conscientious, strong-willed religious group..
For some reason, I feel like Al Capone, the milk man, but anyway..
“Large-scale human sacrifice. Even the spirit was caught there and the water was purified by sucking the stem. It wouldn't have been a facility just for purifying water..”
A tree grown through human sacrifice is used as a water purifier. What kind of cost-effective horror novel is this?.
“yes. you're right. However, the fact that it was purified is the truth..”
Jin Cheon-hee thought.
‘The peeps were sent back safely. I don't have the courage to tell these guys how the water I've been drinking is purified water..’
It's best to keep this kind of shock to yourself..
It seems like the demonic cultists are somehow oblivious to it, but we bastards have grown up so well that if we hear something like this, we'll start vomiting..
“I will use some of the kingdom’s medical staff..”
“Oh, I thought you were going to kill me instantly.?”
“If you do that in broad daylight, you're talking about going to war. Be careful on the road at night. Oh, and when you die, who will do the human sacrifice next??”
At those words, the prince burst out laughing..
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. Ah, I see. I know this won't end if you kill me. so…….”
“…….”
Jin Cheonhee didn't answer and just looked at him..
the prince said.
“You don't trust humans. Rather, face the darkness as it is. But why did you become a divine doctor??”
The prince gazes into cold blue eyes.
Now there is no mask between us.
Why? I couldn't understand the inside of the man who was called a saint in front of me..
He wants to save humans, but he doesn't trust them..
He was a man who loved humanity but at the same time believed in the banality of evil..
“……It's annoying.”
Surprisingly, these words came from the mouth of God.
Eventually he said this.
“Since the king has entrusted it to me, I will spend a lot of money on the budget. Manpower too. It's not my country anyway. All you have to do is fix it.”
“Oh, you mean it can be fixed without human sacrifice??”
“Are you going to give me money? Are you saying?”
There is no definite answer. But, why?.
There was no wavering in his blue eyes..
The prince laughed bitterly..
“Even if you give money and manpower, nothing will change. This is not an abundant land like Jungwon, and trees are also rare. but…….”
He stared at Jin Tianxi..
“……great. I give you carte blanche. And if that fails, you'll know my way is right.”
That's not bad either. Despair goes hand in hand with faith.
When he becomes desperate, Maitreya will bloom in his heart as well..
The prince said to Jin Cheonhee.
“Hey, shall we make a bet??”
