Episode 582
The Eastern Continent is huge.
It is clear that the one who rules that huge continent is Cheonhaseong.
But this must be done for sure.
Although Cheonhaseong rules over the Eastern Continent, Cheonhaseong alone does not control everything on the Eastern Continent.
Examples include the Nammanjincheon Palace and the Putacheon Palace.
Because it was such a huge continent, all sorts of forces were swarming everywhere.
Among them, which force has the authority and power that is second only to that of the Heavenly Kingdom?
If you ask everyone on the Eastern Continent, the answer will be the same.
Ice palace.
The correct name is Bukhae Ice Palace.
In the world of martial arts, there is a saying that Cheonhasung is the best and Bukhae Ice Palace is the second best, so a war between those who would covet that position would be a meaningless war.
It’s literal.
The ice palace is huge.
Seol Hwang Yoo Seol-ha, whose name is ranked 3rd in the Murim Seoyeolrok.
She is the owner of the ice palace.
The huge ice palace located on the snowy mountain was filled with practitioners. The mountain was already covered in snow, but ice was created from the hands of the practitioners, and where they moved, countless and delicate ice crystals began to form.
As the name of the Ice Palace suggests, all the martial arts they use are related to ice. There, a man who doesn’t fit in with the Ice Palace at all appears.
Hair tied back, black long coat, and black shoes.
The man, whose clothes were a strange mix of Eastern and Western Continent clothing, approached the soldier guarding the gate without hesitation.
The soldier tilts his head.
Was there anyone who came to the ice palace?
Why would a man dressed like that come here?
To be honest, it was my first time seeing his face. Aside from his good looks, I couldn’t help but feel wary.
So I asked.
“How come you are here?”
“I have come to see my godfather.”
The warrior of the Ice Palace tilted his head.
godfather?
Godfather?
no way.
“… … Are you from the Western Continent…?”
“yes.”
I got goosebumps all over my body.
At least in this entire world, there is only one person from the Western Continent who can call anyone in this ice palace a godfather.

And that one man is worthy of being called a godfather.
As soon as all of this was sorted out in his head, the warrior of the Ice Palace fell flat on his face on the spot.
“Meet the Prince-!!”
The Eastern Continent is ruled by one country.
And in that country there is a real monster. He sits on the throne as the emperor and has powers beyond that of a god. His word is law, his actions are execution, and his thoughts are the future direction of the country.
There is not a single person in this world who can assassinate him, and there is no one in this world who can defeat him by force.
He has only one child.
Daniel Milos.
The man in front of you is Daniel Milos.
The warrior of the Ice Palace was trembling all over.
This is the man.
The man who will sit on the throne of the future emperor.
A man who has not proven anything so far.
A man who has never been seen in the Sky Castle and has never done anything in this world.
The names Melon and Daniel Milos must be strictly distinguished. That is now.
The sole heir to the mysterious Milos Empire. Daniel Milos.
He clearly spoke but did nothing.
There is a rumor going around the world that there has never been a single person in the world who has worked under the name ‘Daniel Milos’ and that he only exists in Cheonkongseong.
Even though he is that kind of man, his reaction is like this.
The voice of the Ice Palace warrior was so loud that everyone who was training inside the Ice Palace stopped their training and came outside.
And then they all fell to their knees.
“Meet the Prince-!!!”
Daniel walked away with a blank expression on his face.
This is not the result of my own efforts.
It’s the result of my father, Jack. I wanted to build it up myself.
Daniel kept walking.
And there was a man there. He had white hair and a grave expression.
He is a man who has been with Jack Milos since his childhood in the Marquisate of Valantier, before he became Emperor.
Jack Milos’ past and future, one of the most influential figures in his life, and he enjoys the Emperor’s full trust.
He was also the first head of the Conduit, a key institution of the newly reorganized Milos Empire, and is currently retired from all public office and living a new life.
Seol Hwang Yu Seol Ha’s husband.
That’s Ron Igrahel’s current life.

The man in front of me is Ron.
Daniel bowed his head politely before him.
“It’s been a long time, my lord.”

Rondo smiled softly.
It was as if he was looking at his son. Ron held Daniel with a soft smile and soft hands.
“It’s been a while.”
* * *
How long has it been?
My contact with my godfather ended two years before I entered the academy.
So, about 7 years.
It’s been seven years since we last met.
And the Master is not stupid. He has ability and, although he may say this, his so-called intuition is at an incredible level.
“I’ve been hearing the news from time to time. It’s so similar to your childhood that it gives me goosebumps.”
I couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly at those words.
“Just different.”
“I guess it’s just that there’s someone who’ll look after me.”
“That’s right. No matter how much trouble you cause, there will be many people who will look after you. Thanos, the current head of the Taoist temple, will be like that, and so will the young master, and so will the empress. It must have been that way originally.”
“But I won’t do that. Because I’m not living under the name Daniel Milos.”
“That’s right. Because you live under the name Melon. As long as you use the name Melon, there’s no one who will protect you. They’ll probably just attack you. And that’s it.”
“It’s my own choice.”
The master nodded. Looking into his eyes, I could be sure.
The godfather’s two eyes are filled with great pride.
“It will be difficult. The things you did in Cheonhasung and the things you did in the Western Continent, all of those things, your name will be known on both continents, but they will all see you as a target for use or an enemy. As your master, can I say just one thing?”
“Yes, my lord, I will listen humbly.”
“Don’t regret it.”
The godfather’s eyes were serious.
“As long as you don’t do things you’ll regret, whether you’re Daniel Milos or Melon, there will be people who will defend you, support you, and walk in your path. Just as I tried to walk in your path behind you.”
The gentle smile of the great master was so warm. So, I too could laugh gently.
It was at this time that such a friendly atmosphere continued.
“Was it you, the great master, who created the two factions of the Taoist sect?”
The godfather’s face hardens.
He knows what I mean.
“Do you think I have caused chaos in the Milos Empire?”
“I was just asking. Personally, I hope not.”
The frozen expression on the godfather’s face slowly cracks.
That was a laugh.
“Ha… … Hahahaha, he is definitely the master’s son. Amazing. Really amazing. Let me tell you for sure first.”
The master spoke to me with a serious expression.

“As you know, I was the head of the Taoist temple and set the framework. It’s a bit of an old story, but the Taoist people on the island in the Black Sea were warriors who didn’t know much about the world. They were old-fashioned, narrow-minded, and simple-minded.”
That was a clear fact. The warriors of the Taoist temple at that time were very old-fashioned.
They unconditionally followed the will of the governor. The governor’s orders were law to them.
“Dennis Gunnar, who is the maternal uncle of the master and your maternal great-uncle, is one of the direct descendants of the Taoist Order. The organization called the Taoist Order was under the master’s command, but considering the circumstances at the time, the organization called the Taoist Order was split into three. The Taoist Order that merged with the nameless, the Taoist Order that followed Dennis Gunnar, and the Taoist Order that followed the master personally. You probably know this part.”
He nodded slowly.
“Dennis Gunnar, who now rules over the entire land of the former Canaanite kingdom as Duke Gunnar, had abandoned all of the troops of the convoy. They had lost their way and were once again divided into two groups.”
Only about twenty years have passed since the founding of the Milos Empire.
It may seem like a long time, but in some ways it was a short time.
What happened during that time is beyond imagination.
“I had to unite those conduits. I would demote the Anonymous to the lower levels of the conduits and elevate the conduits to the group that would protect the Milos Empire. What I did was to pull together the forces of the conduits that had been separated. And you know.”
“It was a success.”
“Yes, it was a success. But when all those scattered forces gather in one place, do you think all their thoughts will be in the same direction?”
“I don’t think so.”
The godfather nodded. That’s how the world is.
“It was the order of the young master, no, of the majesty. He said to me, who always wanted to retire, ‘Who else would I trust but Ron? I want Ron to do this. Just do this. I beg you.’ I tied them together, but I couldn’t get them all to agree. That’s not something I can do.”
What is the level of the great master?
The answer is very simple: Intermediate Master.
However, the Dojo is full of not only beginner masters but also intermediate masters. Not only that, the number of red masters is no joke.
No matter how much of an emperor there is behind the great master, people are like that.
If you have no power, you will be ignored.
At least they will stick together, change affiliations, and follow orders, but it is difficult to obey absolutely.
The master cannot do anything to reform the organization called the Taoist Order. A man who is far stronger than the master and has enough power to bring the Taoist Order to its knees.
“Thanos. That child had no choice but to become the second leader of the Taoist temple. He is a loyal subject of His Majesty, and he trusts His Majesty enough to give up his life for His Majesty. And his power is already in the realm of the Transcendent. If the Taoist temple is divided into factions as you say, it is highly likely that it was done intentionally.”
I listened to the master’s words silently. This also makes sense.
Although the Milos Empire appears very solid, it is still incomplete. It was founded only recently, and many things were not perfectly prepared and implemented when it was founded.
We founded the country with some preparations and then laid a proper foundation. Now we are in the process.
“Don’t worry about the work of the Taoist monks. At least not yet. When impatience meets power, it is driving force, but when it meets desire, it is death. And desire here does not mean merely material things. It means your actions, your intentions, all of it, to carry out what is right. As my godfather, may I give you one more piece of advice?”
“Yes, my lord. I will listen humbly this time as well.”
The godfather continues speaking.
“Are you trying to walk the royal road?”
“no.”
“Then you will walk the path of depravity. If that path of depravity becomes excessive, those who follow you will reject the royal path and pursue only the path of depravity. You cannot achieve everything with the path of depravity alone. You must walk the path of depravity while also walking the royal path. To do that, only one thing is necessary.”
“What is that?”
“It’s a sense of responsibility.”
He closed his mouth quietly. The master continued speaking.

“When you become Daniel Milos, not Melon, you will be evaluated for what you did while you were alive as Melon. The Academy requires that you serve for five years. This is basic. If you step down from the position of inspector before serving for five years, His Majesty and the Empress will not leave you alone. Instead of just watching like you are now, you may take action yourself. If you do that, your image as a foolish heir who ignores even the most basic rules will be solidified. So serve five years as an inspector. You must do so no matter what. Whether you are Melon or Daniel Milos, the foundation for being evaluated as an ‘individual’ will begin from then.”
I wasn’t saying to be mindful of others’ feelings. I was just saying to stick to what you need to keep in mind when you do something.
I could read the sincerity of the Master in those words.
He smiled brightly.
“Thank you, my lord.”
