127fury. How to get insulation (2)
many.
people.
Wherever you look, it's crowded.
They were all naked..
“…….”
The sunset sets earlier than before.
In it, Javiel cast his gaze down the hill..
The vacant lot at the bottom of the hill that used to be empty was now crowded..
Numerous tents packed tightly together.
people who go between them.
They were all refugees who had recently flown into the Frontera territory..
“Lord Asrahan, meal distribution preparations are complete..”
“…….”
When I turned around, I saw a senior guard soldier..
Javiel nodded faintly..
“Let's get started before the sun sets.”
“All right.”
I went down the hill with the soldier..
Dozens of large pots hanging all over the place..
The smell of food blooming.
Refugees forming a long line in front of it.
Their eyes were hungry and earnest.
“to start rationing.”
“yes.”
Refugees' ration bowls were filled one after another..
As the bowls were filled, the long lines became shorter..
One person who did that, another person.
Every time the refugees received food, Javiel asked questions without fail..
“Is there any pain or discomfort?.”
Most people said it was okay..
Occasionally, if there was a patient, they were checked thoroughly..
The patient's name, symptoms, and temporary tent number in which he/she lives were recorded..
“All right. A doctor will come by this evening to check on your condition. Until then, don't skip food and rest well..”
“oh my… … thank you… … . How can such an upright driver take care of such an old man?…….”
“no. I'm just doing the natural thing..”
In this way, patients were identified and distribution was supervised..
We had a busy time all evening..
“But Lord Asrahan, don’t you eat?.”
“later.”
After distribution, cleanup work remained..
Although the soldiers said they didn't have to worry anymore, Javiel stayed until the end and worked with the soldiers..
This was because he considered it his responsibility to supervise distribution..
But it was while I was arranging dinner rations..
“…….”
Refugee tents lined up in rows.
I saw a kid wandering between them..
Was he only about six or seven years old?.
However, the appearance and gestures of the pacing were a bit strange..
was holding a food tray.
I was snooping around from tent to tent..
Constantly turning my head in all directions.
I walked busily, casting anxious glances with no direction in sight..
‘Are you lost and don't know which tent to return to?.’
It seemed like that..
This is a place where dozens of large tents are lined up in a row..
All tents look the same except for the numbers written on the tent entrances..
It was a situation that even adults could be confused about..
“Kid.”
approached the child.
The embarrassed child raised his head.
Javiel tried his best to keep a warm smile on his face..
“Don't you know where to turn?”
“…….”
The child just nodded with his eyes already filled with tears..
Javiel carefully stroked the child's head..
“I think I can help. Won't you come with me and look for a tent??”
“…….”
Nod again.
Javiel asked.
“But why didn't you eat the food you received? Everything will cool down. I'm not hungry?”
“ship… … I'm hungry.”
Only then do I become speechless..
But then something unexpected comes out..
“I'm hungry but I don't want to eat.”
“why?”
“Mom is hungry more.”
“Mom?”
“yes.”
“…….”
Why did a child like this come out to get rations when his mother was there?.
I thought there must be something.
Javiel held out his hand..
“I'll hold the tray for you.”
“…….”
“I won't spill it. promise.”
“……Wow.”
received a food tray.
one hand wrapped around the child.
I called some soldiers who were cleaning up..
We also invited several influential refugees from the refugee tent camp..
Fortunately, after some searching, we were able to find the tent where the child was staying. And now I can understand why the child came out alone to receive rations..
“allen?”
A woman's voice was heard as we entered the tent..
Javiel could clearly hear the voices among the numerous refugees in the tent..
That seems to have been the same for the kid called Allen..
“mom!”
The child ran away.
I was wrapped in my mother’s arms.
But the woman’s gaze was a little strange..
‘The focus on the child is not correct. You're blind..’
I'm blind.
However, he did not seem accustomed to his own discomfort..
Every hand gesture and every slightest body movement was filled with awkwardness..
As soon as I saw it, I knew why..
‘You're not born blind. I recently lost my eyesight..’
A look of sadness appeared on Javiel's face..
He probably lost his eyesight while fleeing from a monster attack. In the midst of all this, she must have worked hard to get this far, protecting her child to the end..
That kid must have been carrying a plate with his hands and receiving rations to take care of his mother. I guess he was trying to take care of her waiting mother first rather than her own hunger..
He got down on one knee, feeling his throat heat up..
I carefully held out a tray full of cold food..
“here.”
I spoke to the woman who was startled by my voice and presence..
“Rest assured. This is Javiel Asrahan, leading the guards. The child seemed lost, so I accompanied him..”
“Is that true??”
“yes. I also brought you dinner here..”
“This kind of grace…….”
“it's okay. Let me help you. Come on, take your time.”
I picked up a spoon.
Sympathy welled up?
That could be why.
Or it could have been because he saw the woman's front hair covered in dried porridge. Otherwise, he might have been suddenly reminded of his own childhood..
“Now, open your mouth..”
“Do I dare to do that?…….”
“it's okay. There is enough food. Kids too.”
“ah…….”
The mother's face finally becomes relieved when she hears that she is having a child as well..
I slowly spoon-fed food to her..
Scoop food on a spoon.
Put memories in two spoons.
After feeding all the food, he turned to the child and said,.
“Kid? Here, you see this sign at the entrance to the tent.?”
“Wow, I can see it.”
“This reads A-3.”
“A-3…….”
“Remember this. Starting tomorrow morning, you can return to the tent where this was used. can you do it?”
“yes! I could.”
“yes, nice.”
Javiel thought while stroking the child's head..
In reality, this is all the help you can give..
So, I hope that a solution to the apartment pipe insulation problem that Lloyd is concerned about can be found quickly. Then wouldn't this child, his blind mother, and all the other refugees be able to live a little more comfortably?.
Maybe it was because I was in such a state of sentimentality..
That night, he made the most complacent mistake by nodding willingly when Lloyd told him that he needed help because he had found a solution to the pipe insulation problem..
♣
“So, are you saying that you are going to go to Everglow Forest, where the elves live, and get sap from a tree called ‘Elencia’??”
“uh.”
“What kind of nonsense are you saying?…….”
Javiel shook his head..
He cast a stern look at Lloyd, who came to recite a lullaby(?)..
“If that's the case, I can't help you either..”
“and. why?”
“Why? Because it's impossible help..”
“But a little while ago, you nodded that you would do it.?”
“At that time, you didn’t say you were going to Everglow Forest..”
“aha. I nodded my head thinking it would be easy, but now I see it's not true? So now I'm going to reverse what I said and take a step back.?”
“That's not what I meant.…….”
“No, that's bullshit. That's right?”
“…….”
“Why is Javiel Asrahan's tongue so long??”
“…….”
“why? Did I say something wrong??”
“…….”
Javiel kept his mouth shut for a moment..
Because Lloyd wasn't wrong..
“But Lloyd.”
“uh. Make an excuse.”
“It was an impossible attempt in the first place..”
“Collecting Elencia sap from Everglow Forest?”
“yes.”
“I really think so?”
“yes.”
“why?”
“Elves are a race where negotiation is impossible from the beginning. Lloyd's attempt will result in wasting time and effort on something that is impossible. I think it would be more constructive to find another solution here and focus on taking care of the refugees..”
It's true.
At least 500 years.
It was the established theory in the academic world of similar races on the Laurasia continent that no humans interacted with elves..
“They are stubborn. They refuse to interact with humans. I've only heard from one place that this is possible. It's a children's book. Children enjoy reading.”
“…….”
“If you believe that's possible, well, if your mental age is around 6 years old, you might understand..”
“Six years old? The basis is?”
“It wasn't until I was six that I believed I could be friends with an elf..”
“Hmm, so you're criticizing my mental age.?”
“no.”
“then?”
“I'm just inserting a fastball..”
“omg. They say it openly.”
“Because it's true.”
“But now I just use the word ‘Doljikgu’?”
“Now that Lloyd has used it so many times, I have a bit of an idea of what it means..”
“……Tsk. But what should I do? I think you're wrong this time.”
“What do you mean, it seems wrong?.”
“It means that there is a way to obtain the sap of the Elencia tree from the forest where the elves live. What are you saying?.”
“…….”
“what. why. what. Why are you looking at me with your flounder eyes open again?.”
“It's nothing special, I was wondering if I should visit my lord tomorrow morning..”
“why?”
“I would like to discuss whether Lloyd should be sent to the royal capital for mental treatment or recuperation..”
“…….”
Tsk.
Lloyd quenched his appetite..
Javiel consistently refuses to believe what he says..
It was because I knew very well why he behaved like that..
‘Psychiatric treatment is a bit strong, but it's not unreasonable to do that..’
It really wasn't a stretch.
The elf race of the Everglow Forest that you mentioned.
They had no interaction with humans.
It was basic not to mix up the conversation..
Anyone who entered the forest carelessly was killed..
Therefore, to the people of the Laurasia continent that they will negotiate with the elves,?
21It was nonsense equivalent to declaring that you would be safe even if you tap danced in your panties in the African savannah..
‘In fact, no one has been able to successfully communicate with them for hundreds of years. Not even any powerful monarch, king, emperor or sword master swordsman.’
all failed.
The sword master's force was useless..
In front of the elves who came out of the forest, the Sword Master was nothing more than a slow tagger..
‘And the first person to break that absolute perception is Haviel..’
Pioneer of Everglow Forest.
Javiel Asrahan.
The guy who throws a straight ball right in front of you, saying that negotiation with the elf is impossible, later becomes friendly with the elf of the Everglow Forest. He goes through all sorts of adventures and even has sex..
‘When I think about it, I suddenly feel a bit disgusted..’
novel iron blood knight.
Lloyd, who was thinking about that, opened his eyes and glared at Javiel..
‘Now that I think about it, it really is. This guy in the novel secretly has a fling with him wherever he goes. This isn't some real woman's heart bomber, it's real.’
But what's even funnier is that Javiel hit all those women with an iron wall the size of an Antarctic glacier..
When I thought about it, I found that even more disgusting..
“That's why you can't do it, man.”
“……What do you mean it can't be done?.”
“You are the Solo Unit's nemesis... … No, just use your imagination..”
“Imagination?”
“uh.”
Lloyd put aside his idle thoughts..
I recalled the memory of Everglow Forest, which was the main topic again..
“Elves of Everglow Forest? No problem. Elencia sap? I can get it. Really.”
If it goes as it says.
So, if only I could collect the sap of the Elencia tree..
I was confident that I could solve all the pipe insulation problems I was currently worried about..
Elencia tree sap mentioned in the novel Iron Blood Knight.
This was because the substance created by hardening the sap showed the strongest heat blocking ability in the work..
‘of course. Because in the novel, Haviel hardened the sap and made special armor and helmets. 'Cause he took on a dragon wearing it.’
The opponent was a fire dragon spewing the flames of hell..
However, even that tremendous breath could not melt the armor made of hardened Elencia sap. No, it blocked over 99% of the heat transmitted to the inside of the armor..
‘I got really hit by the breath three times in a row. But the words that Javiel spoke to himself right after that were amazing. Oh, did I say it was warm?.’
He even felt drowsy, saying it reminded him of a cozy blanket by the fireplace in winter..
In this way, Javiel was completely safe from the fire dragon's breath, and after a fierce close fight for three days and nights, he cut off the fire dragon's horn..
iron blood knight.
It was a page from that great adventure..
“So, just go to Everglow Forest and get Elencia tree sap. If you just get it and apply it to the insulated pipes, you can supply the heat from the central heating room to the entire apartment without any loss. Are you sure.”
And save some of the remaining sap and use it to make more money..
Lloyd looked at Javiel with determination and confidence..
The guy also looked hard in this direction..
“…….”
“…….”
How many times did we make eye contact like that?.
Finally, he spoke first..
“Are you serious about that?.”
“uh.”
“Concentric, isn’t it?.”
“of course.”
“great. So, if you are really going to Everglow Forest, how do you plan on persuading the elves there and leading them through negotiations to obtain Elencia Sap?.”
“I'll tell you that if you promise to cooperate..”
“What if I make a promise??”
“uh. Because I have a secret that I don’t want anyone to know. so? I'm not going?”
“…….”
“If you don't like it, don't do it. I'll go alone, okay? Instead, getting Elencia sap will be delayed for a long time. Refugees will not be able to move into apartments next year either. Oh, be sad. If only our merciless Lord Asrahan would cooperate a little, the refugees would have less trouble next year..”
“…….”
“If the apartments are built, everyone will be able to have a cozy day on the first snow day. Children will roll snowmen, have snowball fights, and ride sleds while laughing. But that will only end up as a sad imaginary future that cannot become reality. why? Because our heartless Lord Asrahan is not cooperating..”
“…….”
“So, a refugee boy said, 'Ah, Paturashu...' in the harsh cold wind next winter. … ' I'll mutter and hang my head. Is that all it is? Some poor girl said, ‘Buy matches…’ … Hehehe, buy matches... … ' and then in despair, I close my eyes in the cold, basking in the weak flame of a match. Why is this such a tragedy? It's simple. Because our heartless Lord Asrahan is not cooperating..”
“…….”
“Ah, but even if countless tragedies hit us hard, our merciless Lord…….”
“going. go.”
In the end, Javiel gritted his teeth and said.
Lloyd's eyes sparkled and became alive..
“go?”
“yes.”
“with me?”
“……yes.”
“To the everglow forest?”
“Phew, yeah.”
Should I hit you?.
Javiel answered by clenching and unclenching his fists..
A satisfied smile bloomed on Lloyd's lips..
“It will happen soon.”
“If you do, please let me know..”
“what? How to get Elencia Sap from Everglow Forest?”
“yes.”
I was curious.
What kind of amazing and ingenious method is there?.
What kind of method is it possible to obtain Elencia sap from the extremely stubborn elves?.
Javiel expected and waited..
And on the other hand, I made a promise.
The refugee kid and blind mother I saw earlier in the evening..
I will do my best to serve those unfortunate people. I will do anything as long as it is not a matter of petty theft that is against the honor of a knight..
The moment when Javiel reflects on his firm resolve.
The corners of Lloyd's lips were slightly curved..
“The method is simple.”
He said, recalling the contents of the novel..
“You can steal it.”
