Chapter 218 – Side Story) Twenty-Two Congressman
Twenty-two seats.
At first, there was a large-scale dimension crash that merged several worlds at the same time.
By clearing up the chaos of enemies when the world is at its peak, slaughtering countless monsters and disaster-level monsters, and organizing the races and groups that were causing unrest while aiming for hegemony in such a world, lay the foundation for a world government. It was a symbolic event that existed to honor the 22-year-old hero.
But at the same time, it was also the seat of lawmakers who supported the world government established in that way.
A world parliament composed of twenty-two members, corresponding to twenty-two seats.
Except for the humans who are the only ones guaranteed three seats, it is a place where representatives who represent their race, the world, culture, history, and everything else, who are different in their race, the world they lived in, and therefore their culture, gather.
Therefore, it was very rare for them all to get together.
It wasn’t that they didn’t get together because they had different tendencies.
It was almost like everyone had so much work to do that it was difficult to get together.
Once or twice a year, they all meet to decide on matters of the utmost importance and influence on the future of world government.
But this time, all the lawmakers gathered together once or twice a year.
It was done through a proposal circulated to everyone by none other than Namgung Muhyul, one of the twenty-two members of the National Assembly, but the only one with the least experience among the representatives of the human race who were guaranteed three seats.
“So… Explain it to me, Nangung Muhyulgong. “Let’s look at the reasons for giving such a vast piece of land to an individual, a kid who has only just earned the title of ‘hero,’ and to everyone in the form of a proposal.”
Srrrr…
The person speaking with his long tongue flailing around looked like a huge lizard with red scales.
But it wasn’t a lizard.
A whopping 200 million people – a member of the National Assembly representing the lizardmen, also known as lizard people, and also a member of the National Assembly in charge of Werebeasts with reptilian characteristics, including Lamia… A giant who was once called the great warrior general. A person who was one of the
He is also called the Lizardman King because he reigns as the de facto king of the Lizardmen, a race that dominates the vast forests of distant continents that have become ever wider as numerous worlds have merged.
Hearing Saur Raigarg’s words, all the other members also turned their gaze towards Namgung Muhyul, who handed over the proposal to them.
“I see, I’m curious. Of course, there must be a good reason for that, right? “Namgoong Muhyul.”
The woman who spoke as she scratched the tips of her long fingernails with her other hand was a mesmerizingly beautiful woman with a slender body and amber eyes.
A Were Beast, as the name suggests, inherited the characteristics of a tiger. She was the representative of the Were Tigers, but in reality, she was a woman who was like a ferocious beast.
“So, the person who became a member of the National Assembly for less than half a year must have called us all. “Let’s take a look.”
The person who received the woman’s words was a small, stooped old man with shabby wrinkles on her face.
As good as he looked, he was actually very old.
He was born as a goblin with a lifespan of only twenty or at most thirty, but he mastered magic and escaped the limits of his lifespan – he was an old monster among old monsters who is said to have already lived hundreds of years after breaking the thousand-year lifespan of his species. .
A human being who has reached the category of superhuman can easily live until the age of two to three hundred.
In the world in which they originally lived, the martial arts people who were called supreme masters usually died in some way before they could live that long, but otherwise, that’s the case.
However, in the body of a goblin, a race that lives for only twenty to thirty years, a person who has reached ten times that, a superhuman… Even a human who lives for a hundred years can only live three times as long, and even though he lives ten times longer, the author corrected it. He was truly worthy of the name Nogae.
Naturally, the author was a member of parliament representing all over 500 million goblins.
“If this incident was simply… For your species, only for humans, I would not disregard it, so please tell me the details of this incident.”
Also, the author is a failed king who single-handedly established his own power and ultimately ruled as the emperor of the world he was in…
Jago, the overlord who was the king of all orc chieftains.
So did the others.
The twenty-two council members were called heroes of heroes by everyone except humans.
Although they may not have achieved the same feats as the twenty-two heroes, they were worthy of being called great heroes, even if they were given positions as if they had been passed on to them.
Although he had once been an easy-going person in the world he lived in, he felt more and more like a mere human in front of those monsters.
But despite this, Namgung Muhyul was able to quickly calm down by taking out a handkerchief and wiping his sweaty forehead.
That’s right, someone who was already more powerful than them.
Although she only looked like a delicate girl on the outside, she was a monster among monsters, waving her legs and whistling on the corpses of countless monsters.
Because she had personally seen ‘Cheonma’, one of the twenty-two heroes, she was able to calm down because she knew that even they were mere ‘heroes’ compared to her.
Although I still sweat a lot.
Still, he wiped it off with a handkerchief and said:
“First of all… It is exactly as written in the proposal. “A proposal to transfer some ownership of the land above the Korean peninsula… Which has now been declared uninhabitable due to contamination, to Kang Han-jo, who has recently been given the title of ‘Hero’…”
A thud and stamping sound was heard.
“I already know. What we are curious about is why he should be given that right, not who he should give it. “Namgoong Muhyul.”
“It’s still a very confusing world. As for what happened last time… We haven’t even figured out the organization that carried out the terrorist attack yet. But in the meantime… Can’t we do something that will inevitably cause a lot of talk?”
“If we give that person that right as you said, then the children who will run rampant about inequality and all that are right in front of us. “It’s a pain in the ass.”
So tell me.
They said
“Even if you give him that much, is he worth it?”
Namgung Muhyul swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth despite the pouring gaze and pressure on his shoulders.
“Just in case something goes wrong, I didn’t mention it in the proposal, but Kang Han-jo, who became the hero this time… Is Hoa-ran’s disciple.”
The moment the momentum subsided was right after he revealed that he was a disciple of the twenty-two hero of Hoaran.
“I am Hoaran’s disciple.”
“Hmm…”
“But you can’t do that simply because you are a ‘disciple’ of a twenty-two-year-old hero. Are there already thousands more disciples of Heavenly Demon? Well, who was it? Aren’t there three disciples who have been given the name ‘Cheon’ directly by Heavenly Demon? So, that’s not enough. “Namgoong Muhyul.”
Since this was something he had expected up to this point, Namgung Muhyul took a deep breath and spoke again.
“First of all… That Cheonma’s disciple was ‘Cheonmu.’ Now, it seems like it has just become nothing. “The reason it happened was because I lost in the competition with Kang Han-jo.”
“Hmm…”
“So you’re saying you have quite a bit of force? Well, from what I heard, you said that you caught a bone dragon in the Kingdom of Narmer that you joined this time, right? “Then it is quite possible.”
“But that too is insufficient. Even though the bone dragon is a very strong monster, it is not a truly great dragon, but just a skeletal monster. “That’s something any of us can do.”
“But we also caught the necromancer who worked that bone dragon… How about I say that?”
“Ummmm…”
“Moreover, at that time, the bone dragon let out a whopping two ‘breaths’. But the damage caused was only a few hundred. If we count only the deaths, the number is only a few dozen. Can you believe that there are only a few dozen in two indiscriminate ‘breaths’? But it really was like that. According to eyewitness accounts, it was said that at the same time as the bone dragon’s ‘breath’ touched, a barrier was simultaneously erected in dozens of places to block it. Thanks to this, the casualties were drastically reduced even in the surprise attack by the evil necromancer.”
“It’s a barrier.”
“…Sorcery… Are you saying that it was also done by someone named Kang Han-jo?”
“Under the circumstances, it has to be that way. “The results of the investigation showed that among those who were there, Kang Han-jo was the only one who was able to use the barrier… And magic.”
At Namgung Muhyul’s words, I fell into silence.
And soon, attention focused on the goblin, who was also the only shaman in the room.
At that gaze, the goblin councilor shrugged his shoulders.
“It’s impossible for me. I don’t know if it’s after preparation… No, it will still be difficult. “Kkkk…”
Everyone nodded at the words of this only shaman, a great doctor in his own right, and started whispering again.
“In order to kill the bone dragon and the necromancer working with him, and at the same time prevent the damage from the ‘breath’ emitted by the bone dragon, dozens of barriers were deployed.”
“No matter how much I say I’m Hoaran’s disciple, it’s only been for two years…”
“Couldn’t he be the disciple that Hoaran kept hidden from the beginning? “If you were a disciple from the previous world…”
Namgung Muhyul spoke as soon as such a story came out, as he had already investigated whether this was the case.
“…That’s not it. After researching, I found out that Kang Han-jo and Ho-aran were from completely different worlds. So… That’s it. In just two years, Kang Han-jo has grown into a shaman capable of overpowering bone dragons and the necromancers who serve them, and simultaneously deploying a barrier that has prevented countless casualties from their attacks… He is a genius among geniuses. “
He honestly couldn’t believe it himself, but there were countless eyewitnesses.
There were testimonies that when the Bone Dragon’s ‘breath’ fell to the ground, a barrier was simultaneously deployed in all distant places to block it.
The shaman who could do something like that was one of the best shamans in the world government.
Moreover, it could be said that there was probably no magician who could do such a thing even in the face of a sudden surprise attack without even making special preparations in advance.
Except for Hoaran, the most outstanding shaman and one of the twenty-two council members already said that he wouldn’t be able to do it.
So, the only great sorcerer capable of such a thing was Hoaran, a twenty-two-year-old hero.
And another person who made it possible was Kang Han-jo, a disciple of Hoaran.
“2 years.”
“…It’s at that level in just two years.”
Even those who were called great heroes seemed astonished by Kang Han-jo’s incredible talent.
But I understood.
The more I researched Kang Han-jo for this matter, the more it became like that.
An orphan, also known as ki, mana, and magical power… A person who was born in a world where even the gratuitous power that allows humans to exert supernatural power did not exist.
He became Hoaran’s disciple and, in less than two years, became someone with enough power to subdue the bone dragon, subdue the magician who served him, and save countless people.
He was growing so fast that I honestly wondered if he was really the same person.
No, he couldn’t even be said to have grown.
It was almost as if the person had suddenly changed to the level of evolution.
Within two years, or even one year, he will be surpassed, and none of the twenty-two council members here will be able to stand against him.
And, as is usually the case with all such beings.
People were already gathering around him, and it was clear that he would rise up as a force.
No, his power already existed.
The Kingdom of Werehoneybees, whose autonomy was recognized by the world government, was investigated and found to be already as powerful as Kanghanjo, and a person named Carmina, the pharaoh of the Kingdom of Narmer who had recently joined, was also known to have gone to his side.
Even in the case of the latter, he had already stepped down from the position of pharaoh and had given up the autonomy he had originally received.
These are the words of a ruler who ruled for hundreds of years.
Not even a few months had passed, and even decades from now, there were nearly ten thousand master-level necromancers who would lend their power to Kang Hanjo with just the words of Carmina.
Already…
Kang Hanjo, by itself, had the power to create the military power of three or four countries all at once.
A group with this level of force could not be tolerated by the world government, but that was also impossible.
Because there was Hoaran, one of the twenty-two heroes who founded the world government.
Thinking about this again, Namgung Muhyul, who was sweating even more than when he stood in front of the lawmakers and received the energy directly, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and said,
“In other words, even if he is merely a ‘hero’ now, he does not have the qualities to be limited to that level in the future. Maybe… Within a hundred years, the number of heroes from twenty-two may increase to twenty-three.”
We’re halfway through it now, but it’s still there.
“…But no matter how strong you are, there are still many problems.”
“Even if he has such qualities and power, he is still unknown.”
“As expected, words cannot help but come out.”
“We cannot develop a policy just for that one person. The tower you built will collapse in an instant. “Isn’t this something that even the twenty-two-year-old heroes rejected?”
“So, here’s an additional suggestion…”
“Let’s hear it first.”
In fact, since it was real from here on out, Namgung Muhyul swallowed his saliva and said.
“How about carrying out a large-scale purification project together that we tried to do before but failed?”
