662 – Whales Are Flying – 1
Trika Empire. A country that ruled as the second empire in the history of the continent.
However, compared to Muno, a thousand-year-old empire founded by an orphaned mercenary with single-handed force, Apels, who is usually the culprit when he sees something strange when studying the history of the continent, and the modern-day empire of Kpelopen, an ill-fated empire with a relatively weak presence.
Of course, an empire is an empire even if its presence is faint. It was the most powerful country that dominated that era, and like Muno, it was a country that lasted for a thousand years. Even its national power and heritage cannot be said to be faint.
‘Academic and institutional achievements were the best in history.’
Most of the systems, studies, theories, and technologies that are taken for granted in today’s era were established during the Trika era. It’s amazing that even the common five-rank system became common during the Trika Empire. The Trika Empire was even an intelligent country that made its symbol into a book.
However, there is an unfortunate history in that Appels’ explosive technological growth and brilliant hatred were developed based on that intelligence, but the intelligence that Trica built was strong.
‘Relics from the Trika Empire…’
Therefore, Hyeon Myeong-gong’s words are by no means something to be taken lightly. If they hear this news, even those who were farming in the imperial palace will throw down their plows and run to the field.
A relic created with Trika’s intelligence and technology. This is a relic that is highly likely to have had significant divinity, as it was a time when countless gods were proliferating.
-How are you? Jokka is so interesting!?
As my head was busy, Duke Hyeonjeong smiled and continued speaking.
I am angry, but Hyeong-gong Hyeon-gong is right. If even items from the Appels era were discovered, wouldn’t they shake the continent? Moreover, if Lord Hyeonjeong contacted me directly—if he said it was so amazing, it wouldn’t be something like a bowl or weapon that was simply found while digging in the ground.
This is something that the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism should step up to do. Maybe the emperor will come to inspect the site, and scholars from all over the continent may beg to be allowed to take a look.
‘Even just a little bit of effort is beneficial.’
Maybe it would be more beneficial to spoon a little on the relics discovered by Duke Hyeongeun rather than the territory I farmed in the Kingdom of Leon.
I’m worried. I feel like I want to rest at home with the relics and all, but if Duke Hyeonjeong contacts me directly, I can be promised a sizeable share of the enormous relics. The guaranteed benefits are too great to pass up just because it is inconvenient.
Can I give up my inheritance to my children for my vacation? Is it because of my children that I can enjoy my vacation? If there were no children, there would be no rest?
“How long can I go?”
In the end, after much deliberation, the opposite sex chose the children’s future over my peace.
This is correct. In the future, when my children grow up, if their eyes sparkle when they see the relics discovered by Hyeon Myeong-gong, I won’t even be able to raise my head because of guilt. I could have claimed a stake in the object the children were looking at with bright eyes, but I gave it up for my own convenience.
-Even if it’s too late, until tomorrow? Mulnonppalulsulok joa!
“I understand.”
– Mata! One more thing!
Duke Hyeonjeong, who was shaking his head, raised his index finger and continued speaking with a serious expression.
– Ury Lili~ Everyone, come on Delco! Lili is happy to see you!
“Just Lili?”
– I’m tired!
It was an honest confession, so I smiled bitterly and nodded.
Although Duke Hyeonjyeon is a relative we are embarrassed to show to our children, it is good to see my uncle and Duke So often. There is nothing wrong with him being close to his relatives.
They took all the children, including the wives and monks.
“Wow! Everyone, come here!”
Fortunately, rather than being embarrassed by the doubling of guests, Duke Hyeonjeong was even more delighted.
In the first place, isn’t Hyun Hyeong-gong the one who cherishes even me, my husband’s nephew, because we are family. He said that his family would be happy if his nephew’s wife, children, and pets flocked to him.
“Gajondrii~ Come on! Come on! Let’s get together~ so much fun!”
Like right now.
“Ja! Hwanyeong’s Hug!”
Lord Hyeonhyeon, who burst into laughter, greeted his wives with hugs with a bright smile on his face.
“Thank you for your hospitality.”
“Hehe, let’s use dried blood to thank each other!”
And thanks to her fate as his first wife her Mar, who was the first to be hugged, let out an awkward laugh.
In addition, he is rolling his eyes here and there and doesn’t know what to do. It seems like he is distracted by the alcohol scent that Hyun Hyeong-gong is giving off.
“Daum is Uryu! The second! My nephew’s daughter-in-law! He’s a majonggong!”
I inadvertently turned my head at the scene that followed.
Hyun Hyeong-gong approaches Trixie with a bright smile, and Trixie spreads her arms with a confused expression as she sees Hyeon-gyeong-gong like that. I couldn’t possibly see it with my head.
Sorry. I’m sorry that my husband was pushed further down the line than Gong Hyeong-gong.
“Master.”
“Why?”
While I was trying so hard to ignore the cruel reality, the humility that was loitering at my feet opened its mouth.
“I am thankful that the owner is not a blood relative of that human.”
At those words, she closed her eyes in sorrow. Because I was saying that I was glad that I wasn’t a crazy crazy person like Hyun Hyeong-gong.
Even from the perspective of the former evil spirits, Hyeong Hyeong-gong’s condition was not normal.
“And it seems like that human being is a mutant, Hongbok of the Continent.”
“Is that what you see?”
I responded instinctively to what followed.
Yes, humility is correct. Fortunately, Prince Hyeong-hyeon is a rare mutant who emerged from the House of Dukes of Salon, and the entire House of Dukes of Salon is not a collection of strange people. Even now, Sogong is introducing himself in front of his younger siblings, including Pedi.
“Although we are related, I am the heir of the Duke of Salon! So when you call me, you must call me the Little Duke’s sister!”
“Sister?”
“No, you have to put a small Duke in front of it!”
“Sister! Sister!”
“Little duke’s sister!”
“Sister~”
“You, you are calling me older sister, not older sister!”
A small duke who shrugs his shoulders and then quickly begins to panic and teach his younger siblings. I couldn’t help but cry as I felt like I was seeing the brightly shining future of the Duke of Salon.
From now on, I will call you Lightlight Lightlight Salon, not Liliana Salon.
“Knife.”
“Uncle?”
Just as I was about to become blinded by the bright appearance of Duke So, my maternal uncle who was next to Duke Heonmyeong quietly approached me.
“I’m sorry for suddenly calling you while you were on vacation. You would have been tired even if you came alone, but I guess we all came together at your aunt’s request.”
“It’s okay. If not at a time like this, when would the relatives get together?”
I shook my head at my uncle, who smiled as if he was embarrassed.
What Hyeonhyeong-gong asked for was even the children. Beyond that, I brought it with my own will, so there is no need for my uncle to feel sorry.
“Thank you for saying that.”
My uncle seemed to feel more at ease with my answer, patting my shoulder and lowering his gaze.
“Thank you all for coming this far with your small bodies.”
“Uh, um, well. We’ll go if the owner wants us to go.”
Humble nodded his head in response to his uncle’s thanks. In that little nod, ‘Why did this kind of person marry that kind of person?’ It is not because of my mood that I have this question.
‘Don’t try to understand with your head.’
It’s a mystery that even I, a relative, haven’t been able to solve yet.
He was dragged to the office with Hyun Hyeong-gong holding his hand
It was a one-sided kidnapping, but that was okay. He is a man who does not hesitate to act unexpectedly anytime, anywhere.
“Nephew nephew! Thank you for coming! I’m going to have a good time!”
And surprisingly, all of Hyeon Gong’s actions are motivated by good intentions, not malice. He can’t hate someone who likes me as a relative.
It’s sad no matter how many years go by. It would be really nice if this person wasn’t a creep.
“I am also happy that my children can meet good relatives.”
“Heehee, Jo-eun’s relative~ I’m so excited!”
At the moment, ‘You’re not a good relative, so it’s okay.’ The words rose to the top of my throat.
“More than that, my maternal aunt. The relics of the Trika Empire…”
“Matta! That needs to be said first!”
At my words, Lord Hyeonjae nodded repeatedly and shuffled through the documents on his desk.
Looking at it now, it is a tower of documents piled up horribly high. How do you handle that kind of workload while being drunk 24 hours a day?
“Here we go!”
Moreover, the ability to immediately find the document you want from that tower of documents is amazing.
“Here! My nephew is here!”
“Oh, yes.”
With a pounding heart, I received the documents given by Hyeonhyeong-gong.
This is the relic that made me lead my family to the westernmost part of the empire. Since it is a relic that Hyeon Hyeong-gong personally mentioned, it is definitely not a trivial item.
Now, children’s future is the future, but their curiosity as humans has also grown. What on earth is this?
[An island that has never been seen before appears in the sea 130km northwest of Harlan Port. ]
…?
[The location of the island was quite far from the mainland, and it was far off the main route, suggesting the possibility that it had not been discovered before. ]
?
[However, as a result of analyzing maps from the mid-Trika period, it was confirmed that there was no island at that point. ]
?
[ Additionally, five days after the discovery of the island, it was further that the island’s location had moved approximately 5km east from its original location. ]
‘What is this?’
The more I read, the more confusing it was, so I blinked several times.
So, an island appears on the sea where there was nothing, and the island even moves? Is what I read correct?
“Keep doing it! It’s got fun content!”
‘There’s more to it than this?’
I felt like I got goosebumps from Hyeongyeonggong’s words. It’s more interesting than an island that suddenly appears and moves on the sea. I can’t even guess with my poor imagination.
So, with trembling eyes, I began to read what was written on the back. To be honest, I’m scared to read it, but I’m also curious.
[After landing on the island and exploring it, it was confirmed that all the material that looked like dirt was moss. ]
[I attempted to dig up the moss for a more detailed investigation, but when I touched something underneath the moss, the island began to shake violently. ]
[Temporary withdrawal of exploration team. The moss and ‘something’ that was successfully collected were handed over to the research team. ]
[As a result of the research expedition, the material collected by the team was determined to be identical to whale skin. ]
[Re-examining the island from below the surface. Confirmed to be a huge whale, not an island. ]
And I laughed at the result, which was far beyond my imagination.
‘Whale…’
The relic was not an object, but a living thing.
No, is this actually a relic in the first place?
