Episode 213 < Things that God has. (3) >
3.
The golden dragon lived in a huge tower.
It is said to be a tower that pierces the sky. It is called Geumcheonru (金天樓) because it is a pavilion made of gold. The oldest name is Hwangcheonru (黃泉樓), meaning to see the other side on earth.
7,000 years have passed since the Golden Dragon built the tower. Even during the seven thousand years that passed, gold was brilliant. Even in ancient times and even now, Hwangcheonru was as holy as an umbilical cord hanging from the sky.
In the southeastern part of the kingdom, no matter where you turn, you can see the tower. It was a background that existed there long before the kingdom was founded. That it exists. It became a faith in itself. People worshiped the mysteries of the world.
Even after seven thousand years, the pavilion in the sky remained unchanged.
“I issue a subjugation order.”
However, humans have changed.
“All nobles, listen.”
Humans, who lived as slaves to dragons, soon established their own nation.
“If we are going to organize a punitive army, the lords should send soldiers. “This is the king’s command.”
As the dragons laughed, humans were foolish and weak. Because life was short, it was difficult to maintain the continuity of the national body.
Humans were as stupid as the dragons thought, but they were not so stupid that they forgot who the race was that had enslaved them. The kingdom made it a national policy to eliminate all dragons from the face of the earth.
“The forces to be dispatched for each task are as follows. Marquisate one thousand. Viscount Lee Baek. Fifty Baronets. Honorary Viscount… … .”
A large army of hundreds of thousands of people gathered.
Nevertheless, the reason the subjugation failed was purely due to the power of the golden dragon.
Every dragon is born with its own powers. The power of the Golden Barrel is [Instinct]. It was a power that clearly liberated human greed.
When a brave warrior steps into territory ruled by a golden dragon, he becomes consumed with murderous intent. The simple soldier was swallowed up by s*xual desire. The adventurers who called each other sworn brothers were divided over the loot. In the first, second and third subjugation orders, the kingdom’s army suffered a crushing defeat.
It has been so so far, so it will be so again this time.
That’s what I thought.
“…….”
The golden dragon looked at the girl in front of him.
Did you say amethyst?
It was a child that resembled a flower bud just before full bloom. The dragon could smell a poisonous scent faintly flowing from the cracks of the flower petals.
“How do you stay sane?”
“It’s simple. Small people already live according to their instincts.”
A flower bud imitating a human said.
She pronounced the term skillfully.
“I got it because I wanted it, I did it because I wanted it, and I killed it because I wanted to live. If someone who follows their instincts is called a madman, then a small person would have been crazy for a long time. Golden Dragon Lord. You may be able to bring a madman back to his senses, but you cannot make a madman mad again.”
“That makes sense.”
The golden dragon looked over the girl’s shoulder. Dozens of humans were standing there. They were silent as Amethyst spoke.
“But, that’s your story. “How do they also maintain their sanity?”
“well. Iknow, right. It’s such a strange thing. Why?”
Amethyst smiled.
“Take a guess. “Golden Dragon Lord.”
“…….”
The golden dragon looked at the humans again.
There was nothing wrong with his powers. The humans were breathing heavily. They clenched their fists as if they wanted to kill each other at any moment. His face was red, as if he wanted to knock someone down. They were silent, but desire swirled throughout their bodies.
There is one thing in common.
Emotions more distinct than murderous intent and s*xual desire dominated them.
Yongje, who was better than anyone else at reading emotions, easily recognized his identity.
“… … indeed.”
It was [fear].
“Are they all afraid of being hated by you?”
“yes.”
The flower bud’s smile was in full bloom.
“Because little people are loved.”
The Golden Dragon understood the truth. And he was thrilled.
Those people are seething with murderous intent and s*xual desire. Her mere feelings of “I don’t want to be hated by her Amethyst” and the fear of disappointing her overwhelm all other feelings.
Even the fear of death.
The Golden Dragon had no choice but to question himself.
“Love?”
That?
“yes.”
Amethyst agreed.
“People often say they love themselves. And tell yourself that you love yourself the most. As if it were natural. “What is the true nature of love then?”
Amethyst hummed. She was a girl whose voice flowed like a melody.
“There are very few people who truly love themselves so much that they can’t stand it. It’s very rare. When people say they love themselves, what they mean by love is the feeling of not wanting to lose it. This life. This moment. “It means I don’t want to lose this life.”
Amethyst slowly extended her left hand.
“In that case, it would be safe to call the feeling of not wanting to lose someone a love.”
“…….”
“Ultimate Sword Duke?”
When Amethyst called, a duke came and knelt down. And then he kissed Amethyst’s fingertips.
The duke was an ascendant who lived for over two thousand years. He was also, without question, the strongest swordsman in the kingdom. It seemed like a very natural and natural thing for a duke to get down on his knees.
“Rather than lose one’s life, one would rather lose one’s own life. To those people, small people are just that.”
“Hwangtianru is said to be impregnable. That strategy was actually love. It’s typical, but it’s fun because it’s typical. How about this? “Isn’t the Dragon Emperor happy?”
At that moment, the golden dragon had an intuition.

Who is the strong and who is the weak here?
“… … “I want to live.”
The Dragon Emperor trembled his shoulders.
“Save me. … … help me.”
The dragon had collapsed into human form. There was a flower garden at the top of the pavilion, and a fountain in the middle of the garden. In a fountain made of gold, the Dragon Emperor pleaded. The vibrations created by the dragon’s body trembled and spread as the water surface of the fountain.
“Of course.”
Amethyst stroked the golden dragon’s chin.
“I have to save him. “You are such a beautiful person.”
“please… … .”
“But you haven’t answered Soin’s question yet. A way to care for those who have already died. Does the Golden Dragon Lord know how to do that?”
“I do not know. I don’t know, but I know people who I suspect do… … . Know. They are also dragon emperors. Please tell me your name. I’ll tell you the location. so,”
“yes.”
Amethyst’s touch was soft.
A gesture of understanding everything.
“Early on, three subjugation orders were issued to attack this place. The most recent subjugation decree was made 20 years ago. The number of casualties at that time was approximately 100,000. Including those who could not be counted, the number is 200,000. “The royal family and nobles will stand up like a swarm of bees and make a fuss, telling you to slit your head.”
“…….”
“Do not worry. Soin will do something for you.”
with a splash. The water in the fountain was distorted.
The golden dragon’s hair spread across the water and swayed.
“But there is one price.”
“What is it… … ?”
“Please love the little people.”
Water droplets fell from somewhere.

The golden dragon became the pet of Viscount Amethyst.
“In the desert stretching beyond the mountains, there is a child called Earth Dragon.”
The dragon gave his all to his lover, whom he fell in love with for the first time in his life.
The Golden Dragon used its power for Amethyst. He recited knowledge for Amethyst. He dedicated his future life to Amethyst. She knew well what destruction awaits a dragon who falls in love with a human, but her knowledge was lighter than the blink of her lover’s eyelids.
“A phalanx dragon?”
“okay. The phalanx dragon has the power of immortality. Everything that the dragon touches turns into sand and scatters, and every life that is taken into its grasp gains eternal life. The method is a bit anomalous, but… … .”
“Hey.”
Amethyst laughed.
“That’s fun.”
The dragon became happy.

※However, the memories of the destroyed body cannot be updated in the box.
+
The phalanx dragon soon became Amethyst’s pet.
“Maybe we’re still a little short on ingredients.”
The two dragons, the golden dragon and the phalanx dragon, pressed their cheeks against Amethyst’s knee. Viscount Amethyst slowly stroked the golden dragon’s blonde hair and the phalanx dragon’s black hair. Every time a hand touched their forehead, the dragons trembled.
“I gained the [eyes] to see everything. I also obtained the [head] that stores memories. However, it is still not enough to include those who have already died. “Isn’t there a good way to do this?”
“At the end of the saga… … .”
The golden dragon opened his lips.
Sweet breath flowed out.
“There is a child named Glacier Dragon. The place where the child lives is bitterly cold. “The wind stops flowing and turns into snow, and the sea stops blowing and turns into ice.”
“That’s interesting. “Please tell me a little more.”
“The ice dragon freezes the person it likes in a special way… … . Make it into a pillar of ice. Ice pillars can never be destroyed or melted. Except for the Ice Dragon. Surprisingly, when the ice dragon melts the ice pillar, the person trapped inside comes back to life as if they had closed their eyes for a moment… … .”
“in other words?”
“The ice dragon has the power to stop time.”
The golden dragon placed his face on Amethyst’s lap and looked up at half his body.
“If you can stop it, you can accelerate it. If you can accelerate it, you can control it… … . Isn’t there… … ?”
Viscount Amethyst smiled.
“You’re cute.”
The dragon became a little happier.

The ice dragon became Amethyst’s pet.
“iced coffee.”
All ingredients are ready.
Finally, Viscount Amethyst took her last breath.
“It’s good.”
The dragons were happy beneath her breathing.
“great.”
Amethyst herself was also happy.
maybe.
[Act 3.]
[Kingdom Hunting.]
At this point.
There was no political force that could stop Viscount Amethyst.
There were six dukes in the kingdom and therefore six factions. A performing school that follows Yu Hee-gong. A pioneering faction that followed Jeolgeomgong. A religious sect that follows Manshingong. The Naejing faction (內京派) that follows Naejinggong. The Banseok School (醫石派), which follows the Banseokgong (醫石派).
Viscount Amethyst was ‘loved’ by all six dukes.
Even in the unprecedented situation of a single viscount owning dragons, the nobles were unable to openly oppose it.
If the royal family considered Viscount Amethyst to be in danger, I didn’t know if there would be any chance. Isn’t the royal family the only force that can stop the nobles’ rampage?
The current king is the Sun King.
He has been in office for over 90 years, and has not attended a single noble council meeting in the past 60 years. When the rebellion broke out 60 years ago, King Sun had his own daughter executed.
The Sun King could not find value in a nation that could only be established by killing one’s relatives.
I also didn’t know why I had to exist in a place that had no value.
The king himself was imprisoned.
During the 60 years that the sun was imprisoned, the kingdom rotted and crumbled.
“Your Majesty the Lord.”
The petals had the strongest scent when crushed.
“Please listen to the small person’s request.”
“Do you regret killing your daughter?”
“The rebellion broke out because he ruled the country. No matter what policy he pursues or what politics he pursues, somewhere in this kingdom, someone will inevitably be sacrificed. In politics, the more you do, the more sacrifices you make. It’s the same no matter who anyone else does, so it’s the same even if I do it. “Wouldn’t inaction be better?”
“Let the wise exercise their wisdom. Whoever wants to gain power, get it. Your Majesty simply exists here. If that is the only royal road that Your Majesty can unfold… … .”
Viscount Amethyst sat beneath the throne.
He reached out his hand and touched the king’s cheek, which had never made an expression in the past 60 years.
“Please leave it to the little people.”
Dohyang (桃香).
A scent like peaches crushed by hand filled the throne room.
“A small man suppressed the riot of red nails that no one could suppress. A small man stopped the stone meeting that no one could stop. In the southeast, Soin crushed the rebellion started by Pacheonmyo (破天植). He revived the royal army that had been abolished by the Fish-and-Fry Treaty, defeated the golden dragon that threatened the southern part of the kingdom, captured the phalanx dragon that was encroaching on Daemak’s territory, and captured the ice dragon that froze the eastern waterway of the Great River. Yoo Hee-gong. Absolute swordsman. All-powerful. inner diameter hole. Semi-masonry. Even the six dukes who had rotted away in time have their hearts beating again, instead of giving them to a small man. Please see. “A small person has accomplished a task that no one else has been able to accomplish.”
“Small people are capable.”
“Small people are the most capable.”
“…….”
“So it is, Your Majesty.”
The whispers of the kings of the times were sweeter than the praises uttered by the treacherous spirits of all ages.
“Please leave it to the little people.”
The purple eyes brightened.
“Are you afraid that you will misbehave? Please be honest. I will get my son back. Are you afraid of making a mistake? You make a mistake. Soin will take it back. Are you afraid that I might lose my mind? are you okay. “Please come to your senses.”
“It’s enough if you just go crazy with small people.”
The stone statue that had been frozen for 60 years opened its mouth.
“why.”
The monarch who was once praised as the sun of the kingdom was puzzled.
“If you are so capable, the kingdom will be of no use to you. If you could give everything to the kingdom, the kingdom would give you nothing. Why do you want the favor of a person? Gwain can give you nothing.”
“Your Majesty, I would like to inform you that you are mistaken.”
“What is it?”
“The boy is having an audience with His Majesty.”
Viscount Amethyst gently stood up on Okche’s lap.
The gazes of the monarch and subject met.
“What the little man wants is Your Majesty. “He wants your highness to be someone infinitely more capable than himself, just as he has always dreamed of it.”
“…….”
“Please become Soinman’s dark king.”
Our breaths met.
“I will make you a saint of the times.”
The stone statue was torn down by the road, and the sun was captivated by the flower petals.
While he was being torn down and possessed, the king asked one last question.
“… … The karma you have already committed is great. There are many dead people. Since you don’t deserve to live as a saint, wouldn’t it be wise to remain a cancer warrior until the end and apologize to history? Just as you cannot bring back the dead, you cannot undo sins that have already been committed. “It would be good for the Viscount to have Gwaine die and help a new monarch.”
“aha.”
It was the same as the curse that a witch once poured out.
At that time, Amethyst did not return any answer.
“It’s okay, Your Highness.”
It was different now.
“A small person can care for those who are already dead.”
She became a little more capable.
“We can serve not only the dead but also all people in the universe.”
“How… … .”
“Please leave everything to the little people.”
Amethyst smiled coquettishly.
“However, please love Soin.”
December of that year.
Viscount Amethyst was created a duke.
It was the seventh dukedom created in the kingdom’s history, and the youngest dukedom awarded.
Peacock Kaleidoscope.
In the kingdom, there was a custom of abbreviating the title to two letters. The ultimate sword operation was Jeolgeomgong, and the non-wisdom operation was Yuheegong. Duke Kaleidoscope was also often called by the two letters created by the private sector rather than the three letters given to him by the king.
Gyeonggukgong (傾國公).
He was a duke who tilted the country.
