History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 102
102fury. unexpected spoiler (2)
‘what? ending spoiler?’
Lloyd's eyes widened..
It was an unexpected message..
I couldn't believe it so I read the skill window twice more carefully..
‘It's true.’
The system doesn't lie.
Lloyd had already benefited greatly from the affinity system and RP..
He calmly organized his mind..
ending spoiler.
Just by the name of the skill, I could get a general idea of what type of skill it was..
‘okay. Because I was in a novel. But because of my actions, the content of the novel has already changed a lot. But does it show the future of that changed story? This is exactly the function I need right now..’
When I thought about it, it really was like that..
In the original Iron Blood Knight, it was the Baron Frontera family that should have already been destroyed..
The Barons, Lloyd, and Julien.
Everyone should have died miserably.
but it didn't die.
The Barons did not fall.
Most of my debts have been paid off and I am thriving..
Of course no one died.
‘Same goes for Javiel..’
Based on the novel, Javiel was still a top-level sword expert, and he would have been going on an adventure without even having completed the shabby art of psychology..
But now?
‘I became a sword master. He has reached the level of the triple circle and is using a lot of blasting techniques..’
Growth has accelerated by almost several years..
If things continue like this, how much stronger will he become?.
I also thought that maybe I would become stronger than the original, which reached Grand Master and Hexa Circle..
‘Anyway, a lot has changed here in the past year and a half. I did it. It's a good thing. But that doesn't mean there aren't any downsides..’
Of course there were serious drawbacks..
It was becoming increasingly difficult to predict the future..
‘It's because of me. Because my actions have an impact on this world, and because of that impact, the cause-and-effect relationship in the novel changes and becomes distorted. Results that are completely different from the novel continue to arise and overlap..’
A situation that is far from the original history unfolds..
This phenomenon will become more severe in the future..
‘Just this time it was like that.’
King assassination attempt case.
Based on the original novel, this was an event that should have happened two and a half years from now..
But it was pushed forward this much..
But we still don't know the cause.
Even if I turn my head, I can't come up with any guesses..
that was the problem.
‘Because it means that the relative advantage I have had in this world until now is gradually disappearing..’
Information monopoly and asymmetry.
There is information that only I know that others do not know..
This was possible because I read the novel The Knight of Iron Blood..
In the eyes of the people here, they were able to predict the situation almost at the level of foresight..
But what if the situation here becomes increasingly different from the situation in the novel in the future? If you continue to stray away from the original?
‘Predictions are becoming impossible..’
You will gradually lose the advantage of your greatest weapon, information..
If you think about it, it was an embarrassing thing..
‘But just when I was starting to feel regretful about that, I developed the skill to predict the future..’
Lloyd shifted his gaze to the skill window once again..
I looked at the skill details..
Ding dong.
[Skill Name: Ending Spoiler]
[skill level : ???]
[CP required: 20 (1st time))]
[By consuming a certain amount of CP, you can get a glimpse of some of the ending scenes that will unfold at the end of the current story. It could be a happy ending or a sad ending..]
‘also.’
It was just as I thought.
‘Then let’s try it out.’
The ending scene of the future to come from now on.
When I thought about seeing that, my heart started pounding..
‘It would be perfect if I could just grow old like a bee, sucking honey..’
life without lack.
a good wife.
one son and one daughter.
Two dogs and a cat.
I'm thinking about what to eat for dinner tonight.
Wondering where to go for summer family vacation?.
That's the biggest worry in life..
Growing old leisurely and peacefully.
I hope you get a glimpse of that ending.
‘It also has the meaning of preparing for unexpected reefs..’
You may see elements that may interfere with the life of bees..
If you see something like that, prepare quickly and clean it up..
Lloyd rolled his eyes, feeling like he was taking out insurance..
Select ‘Run’ at the bottom of the skill window.
sweet.

A message related to skill activation came to mind..
It was right after that..
Tsuzuzuzu……!
Time stopped around me.
The wind that was blowing.
Even the flying insects.
Even the fallen leaves of early fall.
Everything stopped as if stuffed in the air..
‘what…….’
The moment you think like that.
Five steps ahead, the space shook..
It seemed to shimmer and flash, then split apart..
A round, pure white passage has opened..
‘portal?’
It seemed like that..
The inside was stained white and couldn't be seen..
However, it was shaking as if telling me to come in this way..
It was like a pond made of freshly squeezed milk..
‘Will it be okay?.’
I had a moment of doubt.
But the system is always right.
I decided to believe it.
took a step.
held out my hand.
Fluffy.
Fingertips made concentric circles on the milky surface..
The concentric circles got bigger. I pulled at her fingertips. softly. As if leading. Between steps. I walked in like that..
Soon, my eyes were filled with flashes of light..
Paaaat……!
Did I close my eyes and then open them?.
Or has a new scene unfolded?.
So what is the ground full of blood stains that I see right now?.
‘what.’
Lloyd's eyes widened..
But my body couldn't move as I wanted..
My mind tried to open my eyes, but my body distorted them..
Moreover, he even muttered words to himself that had nothing to do with his will..
“at that time… … I should have come back as soon as possible.”
ASAP? I had to come back?
It was a voice full of regret..
What on earth does that mean?.
What kind of situation is this?.
The mouth moved again.
“If I had, it wouldn't have happened like this.”
A voice full of regret again.
The head slowly rises.
Finally, I could clearly see the surroundings..
It was a sight of a village completely in ruins. Houses and trees that were torn down. Bodies strewn everywhere. Crows gathered together, drooling. It unfolded. Like something stuck in my eye. As if it were engraved with a brand even in my dreams..
‘what. what is this.’
Why does this scene appear in the ending spoiler?.
While I was thinking that, a familiar floor suddenly caught my eye..
A road through a village of ashes.
stretched straight out.
It was a road.
6 meters wide.
The center was convexly higher than the edges..
It was carefully covered with flat stones measuring 70 cm on each side..
A 50 cm wide and 20 cm deep drainage ditch was placed at the edge of the road..
Outside, a solid 3-meter wide sidewalk surrounded both sides of the road..
I looked closely.
It felt somehow familiar..
okay.
Appian Way.
Modeled after an old Roman road.
Podong worked hard to dig the ground, and the engineers compacted it..
Even if people doubt and tilt their heads.
Even if you sometimes throw a hint of suspicion.
I dug, chopped, and made it steadily..
Did you finally get everyone's recognition?.
But why.
The people who nodded at that time.
Many people who applauded me.
Why are they lying all over the place?.
Bar owner caught and killed while running away.
An engineer who was eaten while fighting.
People who have gone to scream countless times.
So this place…….
‘Frontera territory? here?’
Creepy. I got goosebumps. I couldn't believe it.
But it was that moment.
Buuuuuu-!
A strange roar was heard from the distant sky..
I turned my head. she looked at the sky.
black clouds covered the sky.
It's coming this way quickly..
no, it's not a cloud.
Ordinary moisture particles would not have compound eyes or wings..
“Lloyd, avoid it. hurry.”
A voice blocking the way.
Haviel's back view.
Even that appearance quickly became tinged with darkness..
The sky was obscured by dark cloud-like shapes. The sun was covered. Darkness encroaching everywhere. Tens of thousands of pairs of compound eyes rapidly approaching. The sound of wings flapping like a storm.
“……!”
What did Javiel shout at the last moment?.
I couldn't figure it out.
Paaaat……!
My eyes were filled with flashes of light..
I closed my eyes tightly without realizing it..
“…….”
Squeak, growl.
Beneath the night air caressing my skin, I could hear the peaceful sound of insects in the grass..
I slowly opened my eyes, listening to that sound..
I could see the backyard of the royal palace accommodation..
There were no more ruins or scattered corpses to be seen..
Lloyd unconsciously put his hands on his knees..
“……Phew.”
Sweat dripping down my forehead.
The forearm was full of chicken meat..
My teeth suddenly ground apart..
“what did i see.”
It was clearly an ending spoiler.
Assuming that the current scenario continues as is, the moment of ending that this side will face..
I said it was a glimpse of that moment..
sure, it was.
‘But if we continue like this, this is the ending we will face.?’
I was able to repay all of the private loans owed to me by Baron..
Now I am in a position to live a peaceful and leisurely life..
Now all that remains is to return to the Barony..
‘That baronial territory is reduced to ashes and ruins..’
I couldn't believe it.
Could it be some kind of trick?.
That thought just occurred to me..
But Lloyd shook his head vigorously..
‘No, I'm not lying..’
Thanks to favorability and the RP system, he has been on a roll so far..
However, if you doubt the effectiveness of the skill because it showed something negative,?
If you don't prepare at all?
‘If you do that, you might end up experiencing what you just saw..’
At least we need to prepare.
Even if it's a lie, it's true.
There is nothing to lose by being prepared..
First of all, now is the time to prevent the shitty ending we just saw..
So the first thing to do is analysis..
‘Now, let's look back on what we just saw..’
First, Lloyd took a deep breath..
It calmed down my pounding heart..
His eyes slowly regained their calm..
‘First of all, the place. It was definitely the Barony of Frontera. The Appian Way, visible even amidst the ruins, is proof..’
If so, the point is?
‘It was the near future.’
The ending scene that I briefly glimpsed and experienced.
His voice in that ending scene was no different from now..
This means that your voice hasn't changed as you age..
Moreover, that was also what Haviel looked like at the end..
He still looked as young as he did now..
‘He was even wearing the same travel clothes he wore when he came to the royal capital..’
So, does this happen when we return to the Barony?.
I thought maybe that was the case..
I was almost sure.
‘Then, the next reason is the birth of the four months..’
Lloyd recalled the scene he saw at the end of the ending spoiler..
A being like a dark cloud that covered the sky.
Tens of thousands of pairs of compound eyes.
Wings like a storm.
I saw it clearly in it.
It was an attack by hundreds of thousands of giant grasshoppers with a body length of up to 70 centimeters..
‘shit. Will the financial crisis be followed by a physical crisis?.’
1I worked hard for a year and a half to make money..
In this way, the large amount of debt owed to the Barony was finally paid off..
But what is the physical crisis we face without even being able to enjoy such peace?.
It was unfair.
It felt as if I had narrowly gotten over the IMF crisis by tightening my belt, and then war immediately broke out in the country..
‘I knew I'd lose my honey pot so easily!’
The Barony was a pot of honey that needed to be plugged with a straw for the rest of its life..
Gold, jade, it was a lifetime insurance, a savings account, and a pension that I cherished..
I couldn't lose it like this..
If you lose?
The result is obvious.
The King will express his regret and condolences and call himself, who has nowhere else to go, to the royal capital. He will make himself a faithful subject, no, a summons..
That's how you'll spend your whole life working..
Just like the time when I became a summons of the military officer in the military..
I really hated that..
Lloyd jumped up..
‘When I think about it, those words from earlier bother me the most..’
At that time, I remembered my own monologue in the ending scene where I said I should have come back quickly..
I thought that perhaps the ‘then’ that was said could be ‘now’..
Lloyd's steps became faster..
It didn't matter if it was late at night or midnight..
I headed straight to the royal palace..
I was inspected by the Knights of Thorn, who replaced the Royal Guard, but that didn't matter..
It was the body that personally saved the king..
I got a free pass as long as I revealed my identity..
“I have something important to say to His Majesty the King..”
Was it because of this tense tone of voice?.
I was able to be guided to the king's office in an instant..
“Come in.”
As soon as the business was revealed, the King's answer came back..
the door opened.
The King was sitting at a desk filled with piles of documents..
They were probably looking into the results of the investigation into this regicide incident..
She cast her tired expression and gaze this way..
“Lloyd Frontera. But what's the matter with Jim this late at night?.”
Did you get any information related to the murder incident??
It was a look that seemed to ask:.
Lloyd quickly erased his bitter smile..
Instead, he had a more serious and serious expression..
Now is the moment to quickly return to the territory..
However, it is also a perfect moment to return quickly, but if you do it recklessly and without preparation, you will only end up in failure..
‘So I need support. The highest level of support that can be received in the current situation.’
Since ancient times, proper fishing is also necessary to obtain the necessary support from higher-ups..
Thinking like that, Lloyd spoke in a slightly tense voice..
“majesty. I, Lloyd Frontera, dare to tell you, that sooner or later the Cremona region, including the Barony of Frontera, and the eastern border area will be devastated by a fiery fire..”
“What the heck?”
The king's head tilts.
Eyebrows gently frowning.
Once the bait has been successfully thrown.
Lloyd opened his mouth, certain of that..
