Chapter 311
Before discussing the situation in the Kingdom of Teres, there will be a point where many people have questions.
Zeno’s biography was a culture enjoyed by all regardless of gender, race, or class. This is the part Isaac mentioned at the time of the announcement.
However, if you compare these words with the rumors that are slowly starting to spread in the Kingdom of Teres, they do not match.
Although Isaac did not directly announce it, very disturbing rumors are slowly flowing in the Kingdom of Teres.
[The 23rd volume of Xenon’s biography will not be released in the Kingdom of Teres, and there will be no new works after that.]
From the point of view of the Kingdom of Tersu, to be precise, it was a natural disaster, not just a thunderbolt in the dry sky.
He is sincere about Zeno’s life to the extent that not only the people who have enjoyed reading it so far, but also artists attend the exhibition.
Most people just like it, not just because of the title of the country of culture.
Above all, Zeno’s biography gives great strength to not only the Minerva Empire but also the cultural power of the Teres Kingdom.
The reason is the Xenon exhibition. There is nothing like the Xenon exhibition where unknown artists show off their skills.
No matter how talented an artist is, if they do not see the light, they will be scattered.
The Xenon exhibition is helping such artists to sprout and show light.
In this process, artists who had not received much attention began to be discovered one after another.
And unexpectedly, it is the Teres Kingdom, not the Minerva Empire, who will benefit the most from this.
Like Helium, not all artists delve into a single Xenon biography. Even if it is not Zeno’s biography, there are countless fields to create.
The Kingdom of Teres knew this too, so even if they were disqualified from holding the exhibition, they only had a taste for it, but they took the position that it was okay so far.
[The people of Teres Kingdom are currently in chaos… The delegation of commoners is asking for an explanation from the upper class.]
[Even the upper classes are saying they don’t know what’s going on, but the rumors have long since spread…]
However, when I heard that Xenon’s biography was no longer being released in the Kingdom of Teres, I couldn’t help but be surprised.
To be precise, it wasn’t the upper classes of the Teres Kingdom, but the commoners. In a country of culture or anything else, they are nothing more than readers of Zeno’s biography.
The biography of Xenon, who is famous enough to find it more difficult to find people who haven’t read it than those who have read it.
Not only in the Kingdom of Tersu, but also in other countries, it is treated as a must-read. This is a story that was valid even before the Bible was written.
because it’s fun It’s fundamentally fun and interesting, and it’s an easy read for aristocrats as well as commoners.
As mentioned before, the books of this world are made up of very esoteric and complex words. Because of this, the common people are having a lot of difficulty in reading.
As a side note, the illiteracy rate is surprisingly low. With educational institutions out of time like the Academy, papermaking has developed remarkably.
The biggest problem is that there is no book suitable for ‘middle’. As papermaking technology has developed, collections of various tales, including fairy tales, exist.
But if you move on to the next, there are only books like the English SAT. Every time you read a book, you have to solve a problem.
Therefore, many people read the essays or diaries written by explorers or adventurers, but it is not suitable because it is literally in the form of a diary.
In any case, due to the above reasons, it is loved by so many people that it belongs to a lower level, if not even a drug.
And let’s recall what happened during the sudden hiatus a year ago.
Not only did the commoners raise their voices and come to the publishing house, but one letter from Isaac almost blew up to the imperial family.
Perhaps it was a situation comparable to the ‘Prohibition Act’ enforced in the United States.
Fortunately, the Xenon exhibition was opened due to a phone call, but the second Zeiros Revolution could have occurred.
And···
“Please explain how this happened! Why is it that Xenon’s biography is not released only in our country?!”
“I wonder if it’s because Zenon is from the Minerva Empire!”
“Please come out and explain it to me! I’m waiting for the next book day by day, doesn’t anyone know what’s going on with this?”
In the present Kingdom of Teres, the spark of another revolution began to burn gradually.
There is one very strange culture in the Kingdom of Teres, which is that it is possible for commoners to raise their voices ‘directly’ towards the nobles.
Direct voice refers to bitter criticism excluding profanity. If it had been in another country, he would have been thrown into prison for insulting or had his hair blown away.
But the Kingdom of Teres is possible. The ‘delegation’ directly comes out and represents the voices of the common people, sending bitter criticism of the policy toward the aristocrats.
The reason this is possible is because of the ‘Zeros Revolution’ that occurred a few decades ago. Although the revolution itself ended in failure, let’s think again why it was recorded as a ‘revolution’.
Before the revolution, the nobility could not say anything even if they openly attacked them, but now it is not.
If we make even the slightest mistake, another revolution will occur.
This is also the case now. A delegation of commoners was startled by the rumor that Xenon’s biography would not be released, and went to visit the nobles.
Also, just as there are delegations of commoners, delegations exist for nobles as well.
Normally, once a month, at a specific institution, we tend to face each other and exchange opinions. That day is today.
“I’ve said it a few times, but we don’t even know about it. By the way, why not ask Zenon directly about this matter rather than us?”
One of the aristocratic delegations spoke to the commoners’ delegation in a hoarse voice.
It’s certainly better to ask Xenon, i.e. Isaac, about this, as he certainly makes sense.
No matter how high I raise my voice, nothing comes out.
‘I know why, but…’
However, most of the nobles and the nobility’s delegation knew the reason.
Most of the delegation now seated in the audience was from Isaac’s trial.
At first, public opinion was formed to somehow George Isaac, but after his identity was revealed, the situation turned 180 degrees.
What’s more, the King of Terse found out about the wealthy he had been so desperate to hide, so he couldn’t do this or that.
“Funny! Zeno is a person who wants to enjoy Zeno’s life without any discrimination! It doesn’t make sense to leave out only our Teres Kingdom!”
There was an objection from a commoner who destroyed the aristocratic theory with another political theory. In response to that objection, the hall began to roar again.
The arbitrator between the delegations tried to calm the heat somehow, but it was nowhere near as good.
It was a week from today when the rumors began to circulate. In a world without internet, rumors spread slowly, but if they spread properly, they grow out of control.
Because there is no way to ascertain the truth. Once ignited, the embers gradually spread and transform into a huge fire.
“I told you that Xenon is only for sale in Korea! Would you believe that?!”
In the end, the nobleman who had not seen it revealed the truth…
“Don’t say that a passing dog is meowing! Who would believe that? That Xenon only exists in our country? Why?”
“That’s right. There must be a reason why they don’t sell only in Korea, but why don’t you guys know?”
“You said it well. Please tell me the reason! If you understand it, then just walk away!”
It was like digging my own grave. The nobility who brought out those remarks had no choice but to get stinging glances even from the same nobles.
As such, the Kingdom of Teres, technically speaking, the upper layers of the world are as if caught in a falsehood.
If you pretend you don’t know, you can buy time, but what if Xenon’s biography isn’t really released? It’s just a revolution
The question arises as to whether it is too much speculation that a revolution will occur just because Xenon’s biography doesn’t sell.
Here, too, the Zeroth Revolution is playing a role. The reason why the Zeroth Revolution broke out was that the common people were not allowed to art and they suppressed it.
To explain in detail, it is closer to ‘censorship’ rather than repression. The nobles were free in their art, while the commoners were too restrictive.
What if you are dissatisfied with this and proceed? Immediate imprisonment is the basic principle, and especially in the case of ‘satire’, execution is immediate.
In other words, ‘censorship’ is both a weapon and the greatest objection to the people of the Kingdom of Teres. If you are going to censor from above, you can always say and raise your voice.
“Is it because Xenon is from the Minerva Empire as rumored?
An old man shouts in an old-fashioned voice. At that call, the noble delegation visibly withdrew.
The time when the Zeroth Revolution broke out was 40 years ago. The elderly are living witnesses of the revolution and are the loudest voices in this place.
It is bound to have a different sense of weight than what others say.
‘Damn… what kind of trouble is this.’
The representative of the nobility frowned at the old man’s cry, but was speechless. No, I have a lot to say, but I can’t.
To convince them, everything that happened in the trial must be revealed. Then you might be able to undermine Isaac’s prestige a little.
However, it is close to living or dying, and it will cause greater damage to the Teres Kingdom.

Even Isaac has a good cause. There was a very romantic reason, to protect his own escort knight.
One way or another, the Kingdom of Teres was facing the worst situation.
And another one.
“According to the rumors floating around, it was said that it had a deep connection with Volume 22. The main content of Volume 22 is to reveal the tragic past of jealousy and seek revenge. How did you explain this?”
“Maybe it’s not our Majesty… it’s better to let this go.”
“This is a sensitive matter…”
The image that Friedrich had built up was gradually being eroded. Right now, it is at the level of suspicion, but the level of suspicion alone is dangerous.
Right now, the delegation of commoners is also showing signs of being careful with each other when the story comes out. Even so, touching the king is like a gamble for them.
Because of that, it was spinning around in place, but in other words, if it turns out to be true, the Kingdom of Teres is over.
I don’t know what Isaac is thinking, but he is currently walking a tightrope.
‘Please just pass by like this…’
‘If you survive today, you can survive a month.’
The nobles are praying for this time to pass safely. After today’s meeting, you can buy a month’s time.
During that time, if you roll your head as much as possible, you will get a pointy number.
While there were only opinions that went round and round without getting anything like that, a very warm treasure flew into their ears.
Vivo’s true identity is none other than Xenon, that is, a letter from Isaac.
The content of the letter, as always, was polite and respectful, and in summary:
[As I said, we want a culture that everyone enjoys. If you don’t like that culture… isn’t it the country’s problem?]
For those who know the situation, is this bastard in a smirk? I would have reacted that.
“Look at this! Xenon also said that Korea is the problem!!”
“Hurry up and tell me why! Otherwise, I’ll go straight to the palace!”
“Want to taste the revolution?!”
For the Kingdom of Teres, it was like pouring oil into a house on fire.
“I’ll give you a week. If you can’t convince us in that time…!”
one week remaining. As Isaac did before.
“You know, we’ll make you open our mouths!”
The Kingdom of Teres also stood at a crossroads.
