Chapter 206: Peace and prosperity (2)

Education was a required step to make the land prosper and the first step was to teach written language.

“How is the literacy education going?”

“It’s going well, sir. Most people now know how to read and write without much trouble.”

“That’s good to hear. How are the newcomers doing?”

“There are some problems, but we give them harsh punishment. It’s all under control, sir.”

Joonbum nodded. The land was governed by law was far from democracy.

‘This would be not possible on Earth, but…’

“Let’s get up now.”

“Shall we, sir?”

“I’m going back to the Ainos city. You can go back.”

“Yes, sir.”

They came out of the saloon and Jackson hopped onto his horse to return with his soldiers. Joonbum also hopped on another horse and rode out with the Ainos warriors on guard. They walked through the roads where fires and lamps brightened all the sides. It was a cold night, but it was very bright. Numerous nobles who seemed to be visiting were mesmerized by the city that never seemed to darken and the marvelous stone structures.

Joonbum glanced around as he heard different noises and people chattering. He turned to Pav.

“Hey, you’ve become big now.”

“Haha.”

Pav was now full into adulthood. Joonbum reminisced the days he spent with the Ainos.

Pav came up next to Joonbum and whispered in low voice, “They’re all waiting for you.”

Joonbum was now a high-ranking aristocrat in the city. There was no one who spoke freely to him from the humans, but with the Ainos, he was just Joonbum.

“Yeah?”

“Of course! Galfus looks lonely without you too.”

“Oh…”

Joonbum thought of Galfus. Galfus and her cubs were now being taken care of by the Ainos.

‘I mustn’t interfere with them anymore,’ Joonbum thought to himself. His reason for visiting the Ainos today was to send them back to the mountain. The Guardian cubs needed to experience life in the mountain range before it was too late.

‘They must return for the sake of the balance within the forest.’

There were more that needed to be returned.

“Open up! Lord Joonbum has arrived!”

Joonbum arrived at the Ainos town center and walked in. A bunch of kids came running to Joonbum, all with familiar faces. These were kids that Joonbum played with and taught taekwondo and other martial arts from before.

“Welcome.”

The Ainos and Magnos elders gathered around, welcoming Joonbum. Then they began bringing out food for a feast. The atmosphere changed immediately as the Ainos and Magnos alike began eating and enjoying the food.

‘They also know that some of them must return.’

“Let’s drink!”

“CHEERS!”

Gustal, the Gerekstal’s leader, shouted as he raised up his beer mug, followed by other Gerekstals. Beginning with the Magnos, Joonbum and everyone else began enjoying the party.
