Hakai no Miko

"Here! Don't go wild, Soma! You can't get your meds on!

Shemr, who was applying ointment to the back of the Ethereal Horse, scolds the violent Ethereal Horse. But whenever Shemr's fingers touch his back, a pale horse who can't even scream too much of the pain will bump his legs.

After the execution, the Ethereal Horse was immediately transported to the Lordship's residence.

By that time, Shemr, finally regained consciousness, jumps up calling the name of the Ethereal Horse when he regains consciousness. And I once relieved myself of the figure of a pale horse lying flattened next to me, but raised a voice that was hard to describe when I saw the wound on its back.

And when he took the ointment away from the elf women who were preparing for treatment, he began to treat the back of the Ethereal Horse with a look that was still going to cry out.

"Master Shemr. Now chill the wounds on Master Soma's back."

Receiving a cloth cooled in well water from Eladia, Shemr gently hits it on the back wound as much as possible. Even then, the Ethereal Horse had to bite to death desperately.

Fortunately, there is no abnormal swelling or pain seen when the bone is broken, so the injury to the pale horse seems to have only been bruised. That alone was not even a serious injury to get up for the moment, but everyone leaked a sigh of ho relief.

There, one elf tells the visitor in a hard voice.

"Dear Soma, Solon is here to greet you."

The air moved deliberately.

Until then, the air in the room, full of care for the wounded Ethereal Horse, seems to change as if it were a mixture of poisons. That got the understanding of the Ethereal Horse, and when Solon was passed into the room, it got even worse. Shemru deserves it, but from where Eladia seems to move the women in front of doors and windows, which also seems to be an exit route, the guts and anger seem to be boiling down inside.

But Solon, who should have noticed it, was not bad at all, but rather even delightful.

"How's the kid getting hurt?

I slapped myself on the stick, but it's this statement. Shemr threw a pot of ointment at this and put his hand on the mountain knife. I wonder if the Elf women should be allowed to escape, too, and move to surround Solon.

"You! I'll slap that wrinkle off your neck!!"

The sharp voice of the Ethereal Horse flies to Shemr, who just now tried to jump on Solon.

"Stop, Shemr! If you do anything to Mr. Solon, I'm gonna get really mad at you!

To the words of the Ethereal Horse, Shemr stops stepping on a bump.

"But this guy's got you..."

"Mr. Solon did the right thing! Is it Shemr's pride to blame for that?!"

To the reprimand of the Ethereal Horse, Shemr is stuck in words. With her, I knew my anger for Solon was not profanity, but personal affection. To the whimsical Shemr, even more pale horses scream.

"The one who made me" you under the umbilical cord "was" The High Fang. "If Shemru quits" Elegant Fangs, "I quit" You Under the Umbrella "too! Don't ever show your face to me again!

Shemr half-baked the words of the Ethereal Horse, which should also be an ultimatum. To be told by "you under the umbilical" to stop doing that is an unthinkable disgrace to Zoan's warriors. Then it would be better to be told to scratch your neck on this occasion, 10,000 times better.

As if, abandoned in a cardboard box, the Ethereal Horse asked Sheml, soothing his expression, who would be a puppy-eyed puppy struck by rain.

"Shemr. Can I still be your 'you under the umbilical'?

Shemru finally drops his shoulder in notion after getting so lost.

"... of course. Soma is" You Under The Umbilical, "and I Remain The Elegant Fang."

"Yeah. Good."

The Ethereal Horse further said to Shemru, who had completely shrugged back.

"But I can be unscrupulous because I have Shemr. Sheml would definitely help me, and I'm counting on you."

"Hmm! It's no use trying to keep me in the mood."

He was a sheml pointing that way like a shin, but his mouth was moving mummy to desperately contain a grin.

Solon watched such a subordinate smiling exchange with his eyes narrowed, but Shemru bites when he realizes it.

"Don't be a hella, motherfucker! Apologize to Soma now! Or lose it!

He was a pale horse who tried to spoil the yelling shemur, but Solon moved faster than that. When Solon knelt on the spot, he bowed his head deeply toward the Ethereal Horse in a flowing motion.

"First of all, I would like to apologize for throwing you away."

To the twister Solon and the rest of the apologies, everyone turned their eyes uniformly.

"Now, it was necessary to create the country you were aiming for."

To the faces of those who were on the spot, excluding the Ethereal Horse and Solon, there was a uniform question, "What does that mean?" The question arises.

"You have been declared to create a country where everyone can live on an equal footing. Initially, I thought that what you said about equality was treating all races equally under your control."

I can't help but think that Solon did.

It is a time when the herd males divide themselves and the forces shred their sneeze. While everyone was trying to grab the throne of the Supreme, a man who had raised his opposite flag to one country, including Zoan, declared that he would be interested in a new country. It is only natural to assume that you have the ambition not to make the supreme throne ours.

"But it was a mistake."

So enlightened was the time when he was making the original draft of the law with the Ethereal Horse.

The Ethereal Horse first specified, as the first of the laws, that the country belonged to the people. It was nothing more than a duty by law to serve the people to those in power, such as kings at the helm of the country.

Unlike kings and other nations that speak first of all of God's rights, it was by law to clarify the duties of those in power and to constrain arbitrary government (that is, every single thing). In other words, nothing more than placing the law above kings and gods.

"That is, neither Wang Wei nor Shin Wei, but ruled by law"

That is the idea of the rule of law, which is natural in modern Japan.

Solon has a past in which he lost his son and had to run away from the Romanian state because of a trip to Holmea, also known as the outrage of Romanian King Dordea. For such a solon, the idea of the rule of law, which precluded the king's outrage by law, was so impressive as to be trembling.

"Let the law be the foundation of the nation. If it is the bone of the country, never shake it. Not to mention the military code."

The majority of soldiers are young men. When men with such power and greed fall into a mixed state of extremes, life and death on the battlefield, it remains that they lose control and run into looting and assault.

In order not to do so, the military statutes had to be thoroughly and strictly admonished from ordinary times.

The famous Sun Tzu, Sun Wu. When the king asked me to use the ladies in the palace to show him the command of the army, Sun Tzu slaughtered and killed the two pet princesses who did not obey his orders without even hearing the king stop, the story of "Le (Roku) the Sun Tzu princess soldier" who is said to have made him aware of the strictness of the law.

In addition, Han Xin, a prestigious general praised as a statesman. He laid down a strict law and gave his death sentence to Yin Li, a general who was only late. He also said that he had made this another death sentence for running the messenger of Liu Bang, his lord who tried to stop him from dying when he heard it, on a horse inside the military camp.

The Ethereal Horse, who knew those stories, had no choice but to admire the words of Solon.

So Solon loosens his strong tone and expression.

"Now, a bone without warm blood can be found in a cold bone - just a skeleton. If you rule only with the strictness of the law, the country will be strong and all will be brittle at the same time."

He was a solon deeply impressed by the idea of the rule of law, but at the same time felt its danger again.

Still, the laws of this world are not the same as those of modern times in which fine clothes are worn. It represents only a rough example and the punishment to be imposed on it. On the basis of them, the same was true of the law made by the amateur Ethereal Horse.

Too strict application of such incomplete laws can also lead to confusion.

The first emperor of Qin, who became China's first emperor, was also a rule-of-law man, laying down strict laws, but he said that in turn would have disrupted the country.

The biggest example of this is the "mess of Chen Sheng and Yiguang", which also served as the starting point for the fall of Qin. Chen Sheng and Yiguang, who were masterminds of chaos, also decided to rebel because of the harsh Qin law of death if they arrived by the due date for any reason, although it became impossible to arrive by the due date when the road was submerged in heavy rain.

"It is also a matter of virtue to judge with generosity. It is the warm flesh of virtue that moves the bone of the law that makes us foolish to be the first nation to live."

So Solon makes his words strong again.

"But if virtue passes, it becomes poison. To my mind, law and virtue are like two wheels of a tank. It's only with two things the same size that you can run straight.

Now, Master Soma was shown only virtue and did not seek to show the severity of the law. This is exactly like running on wheels of different sizes. Then one day the country will be off the road and roll down to the mud.

Moreover, a people who do not yet know what governance by law is, will see Soma-like rule as no different from that of other countries. How long has this been going on, I don't understand the rule of the law "

Solon had a terrible grin.

"It is easy to show the strictness of the law. Behead the sinners mercilessly. Knock him with a stick. Strike him with a whip."

The Ethereal Horse was overwhelmed by Solon's laughter and words.

It also brings to mind the idea that we should imitate (if) the story of Sun Tzu and Han Xin mentioned earlier. But if it's so easy to break it off, it's not like this.

Solon sighs as he clenches his fist and tightly pulls his mouth tied to the Ethereal Horse.

"Though, Master Soma is not the one who can do that. - Then show yourself a paradigm. Punish yourself more severely than anyone else. If you look at Soma, who applies strict laws to himself, it seems that the people will never take the law lightly, but rather that it is due to mercy from morality."

If it's enough to hurt someone else, it's many times better to hurt yourself.

The Ethereal Horse thought so. And at the same time, I realize.

Haven't Solon even bothered to emulate himself as if he were buying grudges by considering himself (a titty) like that and enforcing a hard sentence on the spot?

The Ethereal Horse, who thought so, looked into his eyes in an attempt to discern the sincerity of Solon. Then, when Solon smiles softly, he bows his head again toward the Ethereal Horse.

"But for whatever reason, it is true that I threw Master Soma with a stick. Please calm your anger with one of these wrinkles."

That said, he offered his neck with a special victory.

And then Shemr said, "Okay! I'll knock you off!," he exclaims with delight. But the Ethereal Horse grinned and controlled it by hand.

He said he tried to thorough the law by enduring the pain of stick slapping because of it, but if you kill Solon here, that patience is also a blister. That wouldn't be the solon you don't understand.

"No, Shemr. - And Mr. Solon, don't make a bad joke."

Solon, who raised his face, laughed at Kerakera, "When you imitate hard, your shoulders don't get stiff like this." All that or making the following demands on the soaked and pale horse:

"Kid, by the way. Take me."

At this time, Solon was not given a clear position or anything. Given Solon's character, Aoima thought it would be better to put him in an obscure but freely advantageous position, such as a counselor, than to give him a hard position.

Besides, Solon seemed convinced again, I never thought he'd tell me to take it away after this place.

Solon tells the amazing Ethereal Horse.

"This city will grow even further than this. Along with that, a lot of talent will gather here. But there's always someone in there who tries to get into the kid by making sweet words."

Those who, even if they find dissatisfaction or deficiencies in the reign of the Ethereal Horse, are afraid to buy the discontent of the Ethereal Horse and never speak. Then even if Aoima wants to change his own reign, he loses that opportunity.

But if we heavily use a solon that has turned a pale horse into a stick slap, even to thoroughly law here, people will begin to advance without fear of buying unhappiness.

At the same time that Ethereal Horse was impressed with Solon's proposal, he wondered if he had previously not sought office himself because he had waited for such an opportunity.

But before making sure of it, Solon says in a light-hearted tone.

"Well, leave it to me later. The kid showed the strictness of the law with his own hands. Just because you leave the judgment to others doesn't mean you get irresponsible gestures"

As the saying goes, after this, the Ethereal Horse leaves the majority of the judgment to Solon, but there was nothing to be heard that would do so. In addition, there was a precedent for Ethereal Horses, who themselves complied with the law, against Solon, who applied the law strictly, and the people accepted their judgment solemnly.

"Okay, kid. People lose sight of the movement of heaven if they look up at heaven, their feet graze, and if they look at their feet. I'm not clever enough to do two things at the same time. What only a kid can do to keep seeing far heavenly heights. Leave his feet to the others. It's also the duty of those who stand above people."

The Ethereal Horse, deeply felt in Solon's words, bowed his head.

If this were over, I would have thought that was a sage. But it is still Solon. Though his head understands that Solon's words are all right, Solon turns a bad grin on people to Shemr, who still remains fuzzy without being able to control his emotions.

"What do you say, daughter of the beast? I think I'm more useful to the kid than you are. Do you still want to kill me?

Peeky Shemru strips away her fangs.

"If you say so, you will be brought to justice first!

There's no point in Shemr yelling at me. Until now, Solon had come all he wanted, and many problems had been gained by the incorporation of Ethereal Horse. Such noise should also have to be punished if it is strictly in the light of the law.

But Solon answers with a cherry face.

"I don't want to do that in the mountains. Look, the kid's already made the cut. And now I am afraid to overturn it."

What Solon says is best. As with one of the brawling noises in Zoan and Dwarf's taverns, however misjudged, cheaply flipping what has once been sentenced will instead shake the trust of the Ethereal Horse and the weight of the law.

But that's what the person in question says, so it's a bad touch.

Shemr sounds critical and fangs, like angry hearts and minds. Such a shemur can be considered a so-so horse.

"Calm down, Shemr. Think this will do me good too."

If you say so, Shemr can't put me up either.

"But I'll tell you!

However, the boiled intestine (irritated) does not heal when you honestly retreat here. Shemr poked his hook-clawed finger at Solon and shouted:

"I hate you so much!

Shemr seemed so angry about this series of events.

Except when learning to write and in official places, Shemr continued to blatantly hate Solon. How many times can I treat it as an Ethereal Horse, but Shemr, who obeys the words of the Ethereal Horse in a mundane reply, often said that he did not give in as much as this.

Later in life, the Ethereal Horse, whom I just felt sorry for, apologized to Solon on his behalf. But Solon laughed.

"When you're in a high position, you're surrounded by all the people who line up their beauties with affectionate laughter anyway. Compared to these people, it's not that creepy."

Plus Solon went on to say.

"Isn't that what Your Majesty should know best?

The Ethereal Horse also said he nodded deeply to this.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Stand on the execution bench yourself.

In the Continent of Cerdeas, it is an adage that means not to take the initiative first when you are strong (doing) something to a person. This is a lesser known thing, but it's a story idiom derived from the story of "Son of Destruction" Soma Kisaki in the city of Bornis in a stick beating by "Da Xian" Solon.

Traditionally, the forces of the Son of Destruction have done all they can to destroy and slaughter and plunder everywhere, and their reign has been harsh, and it has been assumed that a people bound by strict law could not even breathe.

However, in view of the public opinion at the time, massacres and looting in the occupied territories are by no means uncommon.

Rather, from ancient times to the Middle Ages, it is natural for soldiers to plunder the cities and villages they attacked. It is also not uncommon for a winning king to tolerate looting by fixing a period of time as a grace for the lords and mercenaries who joined the war, and the brutality of the soldiers allowed to loot such was beyond sight, he said.

However, as can be seen from previous stories, "Son of Destruction" Soma Kisaki could hardly have imposed a strict military code on his own army. And it was particularly focused on protecting the people of the conquered land, saying that even if looting was ever ordered as a tactic, otherwise looting and assault on the people was strictly forbidden by the military.

That, as of that time, is just unusual.

Also, that didn't seem to be just pre-construction.

It was when Zoan and the Dwarves ate and drank at the taverns of the city that had just been overrun. After eating and drinking, when they tried to pay for it, the master of the tavern, who feared to undermine the conqueror's mood, did not try to receive the liquor bill. Then, the soldiers change their blood phase when they are punished if they do not receive it, leaving anecdotes that they paid the owner of the liquor store for the liquor with a low head.

It will also be seen from this anecdote that the army of the "Son of Destruction" followed strict military rules to the end soldiers.

In addition, much material has been lost during the course of thousands of centuries of history about the reign actually carried out by the Son of Destruction, the full extent of which remains unclear.

But when you connect together the slightest remaining material, what emerges there is not harsh politics against the people as widely recognized in alleys (again). Rather, it is the appearance of a State governed by the rule of law that strictly admonishes those in power who represent themselves by law.

It is from these things that some historians assume that the reign of "Son of Destruction" Soma Kisaki is the sprout of the rule of law that will later develop in the western part of the continent.

But only a very limited number of historians actually hail "Son of Destruction" Soma Kisaki as a pioneer of the rule of law.

Many other historical researchers affirm that this is only to deny the rule of neighbouring countries by "Son of Destruction" Soma Kisaki.

He also said that, as if to prove it, these "Son of Destruction" Soma Kisaki's idea of the rule of law had been subjected to paranoia and fierce rebellion from neighbouring countries, churches, etc. at the time, subordinating heaven and earth.

So much so that the reign of the "Son of Destruction" Soma Kisaki was precisely the negation of the continental society of the time and the idea of overthrowing the system of domination.

But it is in this world that the old system cannot accept something new and deny it. It is not just with that that we can deny that the idea of "Son of Destruction" is not a sprout of the rule of law.

In view of that, it should be noted that the greatest reason why his ideas are disconnected from being a sprout of the rule of law.

That is nothing more than because later "Son of Destruction" Soma Kisaki herself tramples upon the law she has set herself.
