Chapter 595 – 596. Give Up on Humanity

“Just because you have the ability doesn’t mean you have to use it for others, right?”

Seonwoo continued to speak with a calm expression on his face.

He really thought so.

He was the one who went through all sorts of absurdities after falling into martial arts.

As soon as he fell, he suffered all kinds of contempt and insults.

Later, in order to protect the honor and prestige of the Cheonmu-maeng, he was even framed.

It was even declared public.

And while such a series of processes were taking place, no one had ever defended or represented them.

Even if the circumstances are very suspicious.

Just blind faith in Lee Jae-won and Cheon Mu-maeng.

Sunwoo knew.

The fact that at the time the false accusation was framed, the top leaders remained silent all at once despite the sufficiently suspicious circumstances.

Only for the honor of the Cheonmu-maeng.

What kind of humanitarian feelings do you mean to say to such people?

It’s funny.

It’s hard to ask for help on the subject of forcing personal sacrifice for the sake of the majority.

“Hey! That’s what you’re supposed to say as a knight of the political faction!”

“I’ve never called myself a knight. Beatitude.”

“What!”

“Have you ever heard of my cooperating?”

Sunwoo asked him curiously.

“…”

Hearing his question, Heo San-gwan closed his mouth tightly.

Because there was no anecdote that came to mind.

‘What the.’

Seonwoo, who saw this, let out an absurd laugh.

He himself had never done anything like that.

I just struggled and fought to survive.

He forced himself to be narrow, so he had no choice but to laugh.

“I’m not a knight. I’m not a bad guy either. I’m not a member of the Heavenly Mu League. I’m just a warrior living in Moorim. Please don’t force me to fight.”

Seonwoo continued his speech with a determined expression on his face.

There was no end to the appeal to emotions.

They will cling to you here and there for help and will force you to make sacrifices.

In the name of doing a cooperative.

And if you don’t listen to the request for help, you will rebel and criticize.

He said he lost his original intention and abandoned the agreement.

That was distasteful.

He didn’t want to make any sacrifices for nothing.

He did not want to become a universal hero who was forced to make only unconditional sacrifices.

He was not an adult gentleman himself.

However, he was also not a hero with a humanistic heart.

If there is no price, it is just an ordinary person who is not motivated and further avoids it.

How could he put the standard of a knight on himself?

It was a very selfish thing.

“The Jeongma Daejeon will take all of your precious people! Cheonbong, her mother, Lady Dae, whom you support, as well as your Samantha Sacheondangmun, will not be all right!”
Heo San-gwan raised his voice and shouted.

If the Great War of Jeongma begins, not only Ju-yang and Lee Ye-seol, whom he supports, but even Tangga, a scholar, will not be fine.

No matter how much the outstanding talent called the poison king was holding on, it was not enough to stop the advance of the vicious devils.

Heo Sam-gwan thought.

No matter how excommunicated the body is, the affection for the monk will remain.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Sunwoo spoke in a firm voice.

“Are you saying you’re going to abandon the monk now!”

Heo San-gwan shouted with his face reddened.

“Isn’t it something I can protect with my own hands?”

Sunwoo spoke in a calm tone.

“Then Cheonbongeun! What about his mother, Lady Dae!”

“I don’t think there’s any reason to do that.”

Sunwoo spoke in a calm tone.

“It was just an alliance for profit in the first place. It wasn’t that I became a subordinate because of some kind of loyalty, and I didn’t have any affection for it either. Why am I sacrificing for them?”

Seonwoo drew a line with a determined expression on his face.

It was a lie, of course.

I have already built up a bond with them to the point of overflowing.

Deep in my heart, I have established myself as an invaluable existence.

To the point where I can’t even imagine life without them.

But Seonwoo spewed out lies.

It is just an official relationship that has come together to pursue common interests.

Personally, I don’t even have any feelings.

Because he didn’t want them to be his weakness.

Currently, he and Lee Jae-won crossed a river of no return.

In such a situation, if the two mothers and daughters were known to the outside world, they could be in danger.

So we had to keep our distance.

In order for them not to become their own weakness.

To keep them from getting into danger.

“That… That…”

On the other hand, Heo Sam-gwan, who heard Seon-woo’s words, spilled his words with a puzzled expression on his face.

It’s because I didn’t expect Sunwoo to come out like this at all.

It was Heo Sam-gwan who knew Seon-woo as the governor of the world.

He knew that if he had grown up under an outstanding figure of the political faction called Dokwang, he would certainly have the appearance of a swordsman who reveres and practices swords.

But somehow, I thought it was all an illusion.

I can’t believe I’m such a selfish person who only knows me.

“Small cooperation! You are wrong! With great power comes great responsibility! How can you evade such responsibility!”

I needed to wake you up.

That rotten selfish side needs to be awakened.

Even Lee Jae-won, the first man in the world, had obtained a martial art so powerful that he was afraid of it.

It seemed that he didn’t even have the personality to back up that feat.

So guidance was needed.

As Moorim’s senior, it is to lead the juniors to the right path.

“What criteria do you mean by which you judge right and wrong? This is just my values.

Seonwoo raised his eyebrows slightly and continued.

It was because he didn’t feel very good about imposing his values ​​on others, thinking that only he was right.

How can a person’s values ​​be judged by absolute standards?

As long as he does not cause harm to others, he must be respected regardless of his values.

At least Sunwoo thought so.

So there was a backlash.

The attitude of Heo Sam-gwan, who only thinks that he is right.

“No, you can argue right and wrong! If you don’t meet the standard of the world!”

“The prevailing standard is just a universal standard and cannot be an absolute standard.”

“How can you stray so far? How can you be so perverse when everyone lives by universal standards!”

“I’m not criticizing their ways. On the contrary, I respect them. So I just want to be respected.”

“Your values ​​are wrong. How can you be respected?”

“What part are you saying is wrong?”

“It’s the pure magic war that can lead to the death of hundreds or thousands of people. Even though we have the power to stop such a pure magic war, we just choose to stand by! How can we say we weren’t mistaken!”

“Isn’t going to war with the Demonic Cult an issue decided by the leaders of the Heavenly Armed Forces? But how can I say that their choice is wrong and stop it?”

“They’re wrong! They all fell for the lord’s tongue!”

Heo Sam-gwan raised his voice with a bloodstain erected around his neck.

This is because the anger against the leader and his leadership soared.

Only for those who are dominated by emotions and try to start a terrible war called the Great War of Jeongma.

“That’s funny.”

Hearing those words, Seonwoo continued speaking in a calm tone.

“What did you just say!”

“I said it was funny.”

Sunwoo spoke in a calm tone.

“Aren’t you consistent with the attitude that everyone but yourself is wrong? Using your own standards as the standard. But how can you not be funny?”

Seonwoo glared at him with cold eyes and continued.

It was funny.

Even if it was funny, it was too funny.

This is the attitude of Heo Sam-gwan, who thinks that only he is right and that only he is justice.

“Then do you think it’s right to start a war only with circumstantial evidence in a situation where the proper culprit is not identified!”

“Isn’t there a valid reason why the top leaders agreed?”

“Didn’t I tell you! I was seduced by the lord’s sly tongue!”

“The Lord of Beatitudes.”

Seonwoo glared at Heo Samgwan with cold eyes and opened his mouth.

“Why!”

“How many people were against the war?”

“There was no one but me! Do you understand now? How serious is the situation?”

“I repeat, you are arrogant.”

“What?!”

“Do you really think that the others were short-sighted and caused the Great Demon War?”

Seonwoo spoke in a hard voice.

“The leaders of the Cheonmu League are idiots who represent the members. Do you think that those people were really enticed by the leader’s words and agreed?”

“What the hell are you talking about!”

“They agreed wholeheartedly. They are not being seduced, they are genuinely looking for war.”

Seonwoo looked at Heo Samgwan with cold eyes and continued.”

“It can’t be! It can’t be! They’re all people who went through the war twenty years ago! How can they really want a war to happen!”

Heo San-gwan raised his voice and shouted.

It was nonsense.

How can they say they want war

All of the top leaders were veterans who went through the war twenty years ago.

They are the ones who know the horrors, sadness, and tragedy of war better than anyone else in the world.

Do they want war?

It was nonsense bullshit.

“Not everyone thinks like the Beatitudes.”

Seonwoo looked at Heo Samgwan and continued.

“That means there are people like you who don’t want war, but there can be plenty of people who want war.”

“This is nonsense! What kind of madman wants war! War is the worst, full of horrors and tragedies! How can you hope for war!”

“The words of the Beatitudes are not wrong. War is the worst, a series of horrors and tragedies.”

Sunwoo shook his head and continued.

“If you only look at it from a humanistic point of view.”

And then I added a condition.

“What?”

Hearing this, Heo San-gwan asked him questioningly.

“From a humanistic point of view, war would be so terrible that the word “Worst” Would not be enough, because human life would be worthless than ever. There will be plenty of them too.”

Seonwoo continued to speak with a calm expression on his face.

“From what point of view can war be a good thing!”

Heo Sam-gwan raised his voice with an expression that he did not understand.

“If there is a war with the Demonic Cult, what would you need? Weapons and military supplies would be needed? I don’t know, but a considerable amount will be needed. The 100,000 Mountains will be close to an impregnable fortress that even the emperor couldn’t capture.”

Sunwoo spoke in a calm tone.

“Then, where should we get that much munitions? It will be purchased through merchants. And the merchants will pay a lot of money to the farms and farmers and get a lot of munitions. “We’re going to hire people to do it. We’re going to hire porters and unmanned soldiers to protect the supplies. Then what will happen? Money will start to circulate all over the midfield.”

Seonwoo went on to point out each one.

“From a merchant’s point of view, war is never a bad thing. Especially if it is a war between Murim people rather than between countries. Most of the damage will be borne by the Murim people anyway.”

War is brutal

This is an undeniable fact.

Many people’s lives become meaningless.

Ordinary life is crumbling

This is because precious things are all lost in the name of war.

But from another point of view, the war was close to a good thing.

From the merchant’s point of view, war is money.

This is because a huge amount of money is circulating in the market due to the war.

From a military point of view, war is an opportunity to raise honor.

It is because it is a stepping stone to establish a major through war, to make a name for yourself, and to gain the honor you longed for as a military man.

From the perspective of the powerful, war becomes an opportunity to lead the power.

This is because the political position changes depending on how active you are in the war.

In this way, the position according to the war is cut and applied according to the location.

That’s why it was funny.

Heo Sam-gwan looks at the war only from his own point of view and builds a bloodline saying that it must be stopped.

He is looking for love for humanity, crying out for cooperation in Cheonmu-maeng, where the value of cooperation has faded.
