History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 101
101fury. unexpected spoiler (1)
[The hidden condition has been achieved thanks to the enormous power of your numerous achievements and accomplishments. This opens a new system..]
[has been activated.]
‘uh?’
A message that suddenly appears before your eyes.
Lloyd's eyes widened at the unexpected content..
‘praise system?’
This is my first time hearing it..
I've heard a lot of messages about likeability and RP, but I've never heard a single mention of the 'compliment' system..
But Lloyd wasn't fazed..
Because the answer to the situation was in the message.
‘It’s a hidden condition.’
Numerous achievements and accomplishments achieved so far.
Lloyd thought about what he had done and accomplished since coming to this world..
‘In terms of career, it's a huge level..’
It just wasn't that great..
Even if you just look at it roughly,…….
Revived the ruined baronage..
Form an alliance with a wild orc tribe.
Defeated a monster the size of an apartment building in Cremo and almost became the Count's son-in-law..
There tonight?
An attempt at regicide was thwarted..
In short, it saved the country..
‘Those various achievements continued to accumulate, and they satisfied the hidden condition..’
I had a rough idea of what the situation was like..
Anticipation naturally bloomed..
‘It's a praise system. What is it like?.’
The favorability and RP that we have built up so far.
The system was like wings to me..
It made things that seemed impossible possible..
He also saved me from several crises..
But what kind of power will another system that has now been opened give you? What kind of impossible will be pulled into the realm of the possible?.
He felt his heart pounding and glanced down at the message..
There was a selection window there..
Ding dong.
[‘You selected ‘Praise System Guide’.]
[Praise makes whales dance. Each of your accomplishments is worthy of praise. People praise you through compliments. The Tributes you have give you their respective ability bonuses. In addition, we continuously provide a certain amount of Compliment Points (CP = Compliment Point) every month at midnight on the full moon..]
‘Ability bonus… … It's a praise point called CP..’
I couldn't really understand what was going on until I read this far..
Lloyd opened the list of compliments..
Ding dong.
[‘You have selected ‘List of accolades you have’.]
Crumbling before my eyes.
The accolades this side has come to mind one after another..
[Executioner of one punishment and one punishment]
[Builder of a Fallen Territory]
[Honorary warrior of a barbarian tribe]
[Guardian of Cremo]
[The one who carries magentano]
‘……Is this like a title system?.’
Suddenly, I remembered the various online games I often played in Korea. I also remembered the title given to me when I successfully completed quests in the game..
‘Equipping a title would give various abilities or buffs as bonuses. For some reason, that's exactly what I remember. Let’s check it first..’
Lloyd chose a compliment as a test..
Ding dong.
[You have selected the accolades you have..]
[Guardian of Cremo]
[Praise Rating: Local Folklore]
The gaze of a monster that covers the night sky.
The will to stand in front of him.
At his cry, the city's flames subside.
The monster's heart trembled with every step he took..
No matter how deep the night of disaster is.
The morning will surely come.
come. Monster of the deep sea.
come. At the dawn of guardianship.
[Tribute Effect: Demonstrates the trait of 'Indomitable' in battle with an opponent weighing more than 10 times your weight. Damage dealt to opponent doubles. Reduce damage received from opponent by 1/2.]
[Chan region: The entire Cremona region, including the trading city of Cremo]
[Tribute maintenance period: 120 years]
[A compliment is effective 24 hours a day, within the region and period in which it is praised. Additionally, depending on your actions in the future, the area and period of praise may be expanded, extended, reduced or shortened..]
[CP provided monthly by Chansa : 6]
[CP you currently have : 0]
“…….”
I still didn't know what CP was or where it was used..
However, when I looked at the details, I realized something..
‘I received a buff with an expiration date of 120 years. Limited to when in Cremona.’
When I thought about it, it was an incredible condition..
Moreover, the effect was no joke..
I suddenly swallowed dry saliva..
‘Then let’s see something else.’
This time, I chose the first praise that arose, ‘Executor of one hit and one hit’..
Ding dong.
[Executioner of one punishment and one punishment]
[Tribute Level: Rumors of the Territory]
What kind of accident is that idiot trying to cause?!
I endured everyone’s ridicule..
I sweated in distrust and suspicion.
I proudly faced the traitor's sword..
He displayed wisdom without retreating..
Finally, I dropped the big rat..
A person who eradicates injustice with wit and will.
He's the eldest son of Frontera's bastard..
[Praise Effect: Your commands carry great authority over your subordinates. Your subordinates will listen more carefully to what you say. Your subordinates' disobedience and protest against you will be noticeably reduced..]
[Tribute Territory: Barony of Frontera]
[Acclaim maintenance period: 7 years]
[CP provided monthly by Chansa : 1]
[CP you currently have : 0]
‘This is pretty good too?’
Judging from the content of the praise, it seemed to be a tribute to the achievement of executing Lord Neumann, a traitor to the baronage..
Of course, it was small compared to the achievements made in Cremo..
The period and region were also much limited..
‘Still, what is missing?.’
It is not a title that can only be equipped with one title like in the game..
When many compliments like this come together, it is a great help..
The more you collect, the more helpful it will be..
This is especially true the longer the period for which the compliment applies and the wider the geographical scope..
‘In addition, if you have a compliment, CP is automatically provided every month..’
I still didn't know what CP was used for..
I looked through every corner of the message and found nothing related to it..
‘But it will definitely be helpful if you save it..’
It wasn't a prediction, it was a certainty.
Thinking so, Lloyd glanced around..
I quickly looked at the surrounding atmosphere and closed the system window..
It was because I was no longer in the mood to leisurely read the message..
‘I'm curious about other content, but I'll read it later..’
The banquet hall was quiet despite the clutter..
No, I had a fight.
Numerous nobles and guards were kneeling on one knee..
He was bowing his head towards the king standing next to him..
The King's stern voice was falling towards everyone..
“……So I tell you. Everyone who steps foot in this banquet hall tonight will be temporarily detained until the investigation is completed. This is an urgent measure for the safety of the royal family, so please cooperate wholeheartedly.…….”
temporary detention order.
Everyone here today needs to be investigated..
There are no details until the reason behind the attempted assassination of the king is revealed..
A declaration of such content was falling from the king's mouth..
‘It's just the right measure..’
It's a situation where the king is almost assassinated..
Even the culprit was Lord Cerny, the commander of the Royal Guard..
So you can't trust anyone easily.
Everyone must be suspected and questioned..
Even if it is a high-ranking noble, a complete investigation is conducted without exception..
Although it was a bit harsh and shocking, it could be said to be the most necessary measure in the current situation..
The king's proclamation was immediately implemented..
Clap! Crash!
New troops arrived at the banquet hall..
It wasn't a very large number of troops..
In total, there were less than thirty people..
But each and every one of them had the spirit of a royal guard..
Lloyd was able to guess their identities through the patterns engraved on their armor..
‘Three roses. The Knights of Thorn, the king's direct unit..’
Suddenly, the contents of the novel Iron Blood Knight came to mind..
A secret military group directly subordinate to the King..
If the Royal Guard is the king's daily guard dog, has it ever been said that the Knights of Thorn are the king's hunting dogs, used only to hunt down traitors?.
‘Everyone's impressions are funny..’
Everyone is a top level sword expert.
Emotionless killing machines.
It was a description in a novel..
But when I actually saw it?
The description in the novel felt like a charm..
But those people came right next to me, making the sound of clanking armor..
Soon the king looked back with a meaningful expression..
“Lloyd Frontera..”
“Please give me your name, Your Majesty..”
“You and Lord Asrahan saved my life this night. So, I hope you take the trouble just one more time..”
“Are you asking me to help the Knights of Thorn?.”
“Accurate. This is why I like you. Because my ears were open.”
The king's satisfied smile.
Lloyd responded with a bitter smile..
‘It's going to be a long night.’
The feat of saving the king.
Thanks to you, I was able to escape from the dragon’s path..
Instead, he helped the Knights of Thorn and participated in the search for suspects..
“Myung, I accept it..”
We'll look at the praise system later..
Thinking like that, Lloyd bowed his head even more..
It was the start of a busy night..
♣
morning has dawned.
Lloyd could only leave the banquet hall after the sun rose..
“Whoa.”
Is it because I stayed up all night?.
Or is it because they made a fuss trying to save the king?.
I felt motion sick when I was exposed to the bright morning sunlight..
‘It’s ding..’
I was tired.
Even so, it was natural because I was exhausted and participated in the all-night investigation..
‘I don't think there's ever been a day in my life where I've gossiped as much as this time..’
Yesterday during the day, I reported corruption at the academy..
And at night?
He had to testify and report everything he saw and heard to the king and investigators..
This was because the person behind the assassination of the king had to be found..
‘Well, since the chief chamberlain and everything have been messed up, the royal family will take care of it now..’
The subsequent investigation is none of your business..
Anyway, the king was saved..
It also prevented her darkening(?).
That alone was enough to achieve our goal..
‘I can't ever experience something like this again..’
He was disgusted as he remembered the chaotic night last night..
Then suddenly, I became curious..
“hey.”
“Did you call me?.”
Javiel’s answer came right away..
Sigh, I started laughing without realizing it..
“what. I just said 'hey'. How did you know I called you.”
“It's just a hunch. Let's ask.”
“I asked, what?”
“Don’t you have any questions for me??”
“……Are you a mind reader??”
“I feel like that's the case for some reason..”
“Ah, you were a psychologist..”
“…….”
“Not anything else. Did something happen to you?.”
“You mean Sword Master??”
“uh.”
“Yes, it's done.”
Pueup!
The sound of something spewing came from the other side of Javiel..
When I turned around, I saw Julien looking at me and Javiel with a puzzled look on his face..
“what… … Sir Asrahan? sword master?”
“uh.”
“Why do you say that so comfortably??”
“Then should I say it in a difficult way??”
“No, that's not it..”
“then?”
“That's exactly the one I just met with my brother. You were talking about Lord Asurahan becoming a sword master, right? But he said it so calmly, as if he was asking and answering whether I had breakfast..”
“Hmm, maybe I should have asked like did you eat lunch?.”
“Ah, kinda. Don't joke.”
“Well, there's no need to make a fuss.?”
Lloyd chuckled and shrugged his shoulders..
Of course I was happy that Javiel became a sword master..
But it was bound to come someday..
It was just that it was a little earlier than the time in the novel..
“There's nothing to make a fuss about. Anyway, for Javiel, the only goal is to achieve this year’s goal. Isn't that so??”
“you're right.”
Javiel nodded..
“So I'm glad. Summer was just passing by so I was a little anxious..”
“I'm afraid I won't be able to achieve my goal this year?”
“yes. But today, I achieved it. I'm glad.”
“But the king didn't say anything about that.?”
“You did it.”
“He told me to serve him?”
“yes.”
“So you?”
“I refused.”
Once again, Julien pours down the drink he was drinking..
Javiel continued calmly..
“Even so, he called me aside right after the investigation was over. He spoke to me seriously..”
“what?”
“The position of Commander of the Guard has become vacant..”
“So, did they actually say that they would give you the position of captain of the guard? The king?”
“yes.”
Javiel shook his head..
“So I said no.”
“Then?”
“He asked me why I refused..”
“So what did you say?”
“I replied that my master was only Baron Frontera..”
Did you feel confident in your own words?.
Javiel's voice became more serious..
“Fortunately, His Majesty the King recognized my sincerity. He smiled quietly and said that he was jealous of my master. I'm really glad.”
“Yeah, that's a relief.”
When I heard it, I couldn't help but laugh..
I couldn't help but think that it was Javiel..
‘It was like this in the novel too, I guess.’
Haviel in Iron Blooded Knight.
This guy refused not only the king but also the emperor's offer to recruit him..
The comment he made wasn't much different from what he just said..
‘He said that he had only one master throughout his life, the late Baron Frontera, I guess..’
Honestly, with that skill, you could enjoy all kinds of wealth and fame..
But you turn down all those flowery paths just because of loyalty?.
‘Anyway, he is truly a great guy..’
Lloyd clicked his tongue and looked at Javiel..
The guy was smiling like a student who finished his vacation homework..
Of course, that smile didn't last long..
“But who planned this?.”
“regicide?”
“yes.”
Javiel's voice became more serious..
“He captured none other than Lord Czerny and made him move. A sword master and captain of the royal guard of a kingdom..”
“Yeah, it's a huge deal..”
I sighed..
Actually, I had no idea who planned it..
This was true even after reading the novel The Knight of Iron Blood..
‘Because the exact number of pleural fluids was not revealed there..’
The so-called unfinished rice cake.
The attempted assassination of the king was exactly like that..
There seemed to be some organization wrapped in darkness, but it was not revealed until the end..
So, at the end of the novel, Javiel was seen secretly strengthening his resolve to prepare for the remaining threats..
‘Writers these days are like that. It's a secret plan to continue with part 2, right?.’
It's an ending, but it's not an ending..
An unfinished piece of rice left over to release a second volume if it becomes popular..
The mastermind behind the attempted assassination of the king was exactly such an element in the novel..
‘Tsk. Why isn't part 2 coming out?.’
Unfortunately, Iron Blood Knight ended with part 1..
2Boo seemed like it would come out, but it never came out..
So I don’t know the true nature of that unfinished rice cake..
That's the problem right now.
‘It feels uncomfortable..’
The regicide attempt was originally carried out two and a half years later..
So, about two years later, I tried to secretly tell the king..
I couldn't figure out why the incident was brought forward so much..
‘But, well, I blocked it anyway..’
Rustle, rustle.
A few impatient fallen leaves have already fallen.
Every time I walk, autumn fills my toes..
As I walked like that and organized my thoughts, my mind became a little clearer..
‘let's not worry.’
Anyway, the regicide was prevented..
It's none of your business anymore..
No matter what anyone says, his goal is to return to his territory and spend the rest of his life sucking honey like a bee..
‘So, as long as there are no tribulations, natural disasters, compatibility, mama, or anything like that that will shake the kingdom, it's okay..’
When I thought about it like that, I felt at ease..
returned to the accommodation.
I slept late and rolled around..
I had a late dinner and looked at the night sky..
The long-awaited full moon has finally risen brightly..
And yet Lloyd continued to wait..
I spent time lying on the grass in the front yard of my accommodation..
While I was waiting, I looked around for the effects of praise that I had not seen yet..
‘As a builder of a fallen territory, everyone in the territory shows a cooperative attitude toward the civil engineering work I am carrying out... … Honorary warriors from barbarian tribes can use the orc roar... … The person who carries Magentano, um, receives the absolute trust of King Alicia and will never be suspected of treason..’
I really liked it because each was unique yet subtly efficient..
Meanwhile, midnight is approaching.
The full moon rose in the sky.
At that moment, the message I had been waiting for appeared before my eyes..
Ding dong.
[The full moon is lighting up the night sky.]
[CP is provided from the 5 tributes you own..]
‘also.’
It's as expected.
The corners of Lloyd's mouth slightly curled up..
He straightened his posture and read the message in front of him..
[The residents of the Frontera Territory are praising you as the enforcer of the One Punishment and the Builder of the Fallen Territory. Earned 3 CP.]
[As an honorary warrior of the barbarian tribe, you are praised by the Steel Sand Orc tribe. Earned 2 CP.]
[As Cremo's guardian, your reputation shakes the entire Cremona region. Earned 6 CP.]
[It is being spread throughout the kingdom that you are the one carrying Magentano. Earned 11 CP.]
[CP you currently have : 22]
‘22la.’
In fact, I still don't know where CP is used..
Was that why?.
22I had no idea whether that number was small or large..
But that was then..
Ding dong.
As soon as the previous message disappeared, another message appeared..
[You have successfully obtained your first CP.]
[Accordingly, it has become possible to use 'Ending Spoiler', an absolute power that can be realized by consuming CP..]
[Skill Name: Ending Spoiler]
[skill level : ???]
[CP required: 20 (1st time))]
‘……what?’
ending? spoiler?
A message that tells you something you never thought of.
Lloyd's eyes slowly widened as he read it..
