Episode 238 Even in a life like this (1)

As soon as the sun came up, Sangun sighed as he looked at the people gathering around him.

Because I put in a lot of effort over the past few days to show him some charity, I automatically looked at his mouth whenever it was time to eat, like a baby bird.

Yes, the problem is. Baby birds have the characteristic of being newly born and unaware of the world, but they are grown humans.

Due to the circumstances, some allowances are made, but it is still not rewarding. This is even more so considering the effort it takes to perform each action and considering that they did it in the first place.

[I wonder if it ended up like this...]

[Isn’t that what I told you to do?]

[Yes, yes... Well, okay. [My ancestors didn’t ask him to do it...]

In addition, there is someone next to him who may not have directly given him work, but has had a subtle influence on him.

Sangun glanced at the young turtle and sighed again.

The events of the time when he had just arrived here flash through his mind.

.

[I’m hungry.]

Did he go up to the border between the eastern and northern lands to undo what the tiger did? That move was interrupted by a sudden voice, forcing him to turn around again.

It was in the same context that his body was now located in the center of the East.

[I can’t help but wonder if you keep doing that.]

[...It’s too much.]

Sangun endlessly moved his body towards the voice that kept echoing in his head. “Everyone who stood guard at the time testified that they experienced an unnatural death! “Aren’t you really involved in the devil’s escape?!” As I approached the group of humans, their voices reached my inner ears.

[But why did you come now? It’s not that I’m blaming him, I’m just curious...]

However, due to the structure of the body, it is very easy to ignore vocalization. “Well, I don’t remember.” If there was anything difficult, it was trying to accurately recognize human voices. “I may have put them to sleep because I targeted them wrong when it came to putting demon knights to sleep.” In any case, it is Sangun’s long-standing habit to listen only to what he wants to hear. “Great Sage!” Sangun moved his body.

[I slept.]

[Oh, is that so.]

[I slept for a very long time. So much so that I even forgot about circulation.]

[...Yes?]

Just a few more moves and I will reach the owner of the voice.

Hana Sangun paused for a moment due to the other person’s shocking remarks.

“Are you saying that?” The human right below shouted that.

[Oh, correct me. It’s not that I forgot, it’s more like I was forced to not take care of the circulation.]

Meanwhile, the person who called Sangun also continued talking.

It was somewhat absurd, considering that the opponent’s identity was the ancestor, foundation, and source of the mountains.

“That’s such a strange question. “I conveyed my thoughts through phonetic symbols. If you don’t call this words, what can you call it?” Anyway, that’s it.

[My better half kept putting me to sleep. The time of the cycle arrived and I tried to wake up, and after that, I tried to open my eyes again and again...]

I wondered why my ancestors disappeared after giving birth, and I wonder if it was for this reason.

Sangun repeatedly opened and closed his mouth for a moment in response to the confession of what humans call the Six Ghosts. “Great Sage, you want to make a joke like that...” There was nothing to say.

[So, at some point, I didn’t even have the strength to open my eyes. So I just went to sleep.]

[Then you don’t know why I woke up this time...?]

[Not really. Because I was aware of my surroundings even while I was sleeping.]

[Oh, is that so.]

[Yes... I watched as my other half tried to gain immortality by pulling out the life I had accumulated. Everything, everything.]

Yeah, I really have nothing to say.

[That ha. [What should I say about this?]

Sangun hit his forehead with his tail like a human right below him and then started moving slowly again.

“That’s unpleasant. How can you dismiss my words as a play on words? “If it’s going to keep coming out like this, I might as well stop talking and do my own thing.” Half-ruined cities and hordes of humans passed through his torso.

[What is that? I didn’t mishear, it’s really, really immortal...?]

[I didn’t mishear, it’s really immortal. The other half of me absolutely hated the fact that I had to hand over my life to my children.]

[Wammaya...]

Meanwhile, each and every sentence of the six ghosts’ endlessly conveyed words is truly astounding. Immortality was against the principles of the world, and in other words, it was another word for corruption.

“Great Sage, if you continue to act like that, you will regret it later.” A human voice filled with evil dispersed into the air. “Do you think they are going to try me for heresy? Do whatever you feel like. “At least I won’t have anything to regret.” The sigh of someone who knows something continued.

[But doing something that goes against logic leads to corruption... and that’s what happened to my other half. It’s such an obvious thing to say.]

Just in case. Yuk-gwi continued, saying something that was not at all different from what was expected.

The half of the six demons, probably called the Black Death, was truly corrupted.

“I’m curious about it separately. If the standard for heresy is cooperation with the devil, then how many people in this city are not heretics...” Sangun’s eyes lowered awkwardly.

[Oh my. That’s right, the city is like this...]

“Great Sage, is that huge snake...?”

“Do you think I know everything in the world? However, it does remind me of the ancient beasts that live in the great forest.”

“...You’re right.”

“Oh, was it really?”

So Sangun suddenly heard the sound of a monster.

Since it was right after the Black Death, half of the Six Demons, destroyed the city, I guess it was inevitable that I would be misunderstood like that... It was also natural for my heart to get hurt.

The only consolation is that some humans recognize him.

“Couldn’t you ask me to try a little harder? It would be nice if the amount of fruit increased a little more...”

However, it was still inconvenient to covet his power when his identity and safety were confirmed.

[This is the first time I have missed the priest’s followers...]

Sangun missed his followers for a moment.

.

.

.

[Ha... After all, there have to be priests...]

After the short flashback, Sangun looked at the humans in Bemurchen and missed the humans in the Great Forest again.

Anyway, when I was living in the forest, I thought it was a lot of nagging, but now that I look back, it was all just for him. The same goes for the attitude of saying that since there is nothing to do, you can just stay in the nest.

They weren’t trying to make him bored, but they were trying to depend on him and not bother him. Unlike the humans here.

[Ugh.]

But no matter how fast you regret it, it is bound to be late.

The mountain army lifted its tail, missing the inhabitants of the Great Forest. The white scales that caught the light sparkled like clouds in the sky.

“He is moving!”

If you apply a little more force, the tip of the tail becomes stiff like an awl. Sangun suddenly slammed his straight, sharp tail into the ground.

“It’s growing!”

However, there is no noise or vibration that should be heard at the moment the tail touches the ground.

It’s just that the tail naturally merges with the earth and injects its power into the earth.

Sara la la rock!

All kinds of grains and fruit trees began to grow on the land where the grass was green.

“Stop stop! “Don’t eat it carelessly!”

“Just until we figure out the number... “Don’t eat it!”

The trees that had spread out their roots and branches soon began to bear fruit. The ripening of the fruit also took place in an instant.

Hands stretched out competitively and grabbed the fruits. The owners of the hands are all residents who were under control in the name of protection.

“I’m going to give it away, so be patient right now...!”

“Don’t hide it! Those who hide will be punished!”

And the soldiers began to stop those residents. This was to prevent some residents – those who were healthy enough to compete – from monopolizing the fruit, but the number of riots that arose as a result has already exceeded ten.

If you include this time, you will be able to count another 10 times by opening and folding your ten fingers again.

[Oh my gosh... The little guys are fighting again. They’re fighting again.]

I didn’t give them food just to see them like that, but I think humans are really greedy.

If you add up all the supplies from the reinforcements who are joining in, the resources they get from hunting, and the fruit he provides, you are in a situation where you can go through each day without going hungry, even if you are not in abundance.

[Why don’t you just take care of them?]

[I might want to do that, too... hey.]

If I quit now, what will happen to them? Since there is a difference in power, I wouldn’t dare try to harm

him, but... [...I don’t want to see the bullies praising the tiger.]

Sangun put his face between the bodies with a tired attitude.

This is because it was quite a burdensome act for him to fast-forward the years and bring only results every time, as if he were simply reviving the forest.

[It’s shameful to let the lives that the driver saved die even though

he was insulting them...] [It’s hard work.]

[That’s right. Isn’t it lovely that, unlike animals that only follow the laws of parenting and strong-arming, humans sometimes use their strength for the weak?]

Of course, this level of fatigue is still bearable. He likes people who have great power but know how to take on low places and the results achieved by such people.

[So you’re going to stay here?]

[Okay, I won’t stop there. I may like people a little, but there is a line to that.]

However, when that person is not here and the achievements he has made are very disappointing, my patience is slowly reaching its limit. Moreover, he even fulfilled his duty to the knight.

[So?]

[From what I heard, the fourth reinforcements are coming soon. If we get to that point, we’ll cut off the tail.]

So Sangun remembered that and drew the final line. It would have been great if there was a person here who could interpret his spoken language.

Well, there was no one who could do it, so it wasn’t delivered in the end.
