History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 131

“Thank you for your hard work in coming this far. This is the Barony of Frontera..”
“…….”
The voice of the human Lloyd Frontera is heard in my ears..
Forget-me-not tribe leader, elf Myira raised her head..
Clear view as you leave the forest.
An unfamiliar scenery unfolding in front of you.
‘Is that the land where humans live?.’
She looked carefully at the Frontera estate..
The first thing I saw was the Prona River flowing from the south and making a large semicircle clockwise. The Barony of Frontera was located inside a semicircle that turned sharply to the west and flowed to the north..
‘On the east it touches the foot of a mountain range, and on the other three sides it is surrounded by rivers..’
It was a beautiful sight.
But she soon realized an inconvenient truth..
‘So many plants are being sacrificed in that beautiful scene..’
Several villages scattered throughout the territory.
Rice fields and fields in between.
A vast area of cleared land in the south.
These were all spaces designed to grow and harvest plants in large quantities for human needs..
The same was true for houses and other buildings..
‘There is no place where trees are not used..’
Log cabins, barns, and warehouses were mostly built using wood..
That inconvenient fact made Myira's heart bitter..
‘Those trees must have been unfortunate enough to not receive a funeral ceremony..’
Humans don't know how to care for plants to that extent..
Of course, no respect is given to dead trees either..
So when you see this scene, you automatically…….
“Are you uncomfortable??”
“…….”
Did you understand this person’s feelings?.
Lloyd is now standing next to me.
Myira nodded slightly in response to the question he asked..
A wry smile appeared on Lloyd's lips..
“I can't help it. Because everyone has their own different way of living..”
“It's a different way?”
“For example, people like monks..”
monk?
This is my first time hearing this..
Lloyd's bitter smile in this direction deepened slightly..
“A monk, a type of priest, active in a faraway region..”
“Priest. But why are you mentioning those people?.”
“They are people with completely opposite eating habits than you. They only eat plants.”
“What kind of…….”
Muira was shocked..
These are people who only eat plants. Such terrible.
However, listening to Lloyd's next words made her reflect on her thoughts again..
“This is to keep the commandment not to kill. I guess it's because of the idea of respecting living things. Of course, there are some who do not follow the precepts, but I heard that most try to keep them. Just like the elves' desire to cherish and protect plants..”
“…….”
“I am saying this in the hope that you will understand a little bit because the way we live is different..”
“Understand. Like the deal you proposed a few days ago??”
“yes.”
Lloyd nodding his head slightly.
Looking at that, Muira suddenly remembered an incident from a few days ago..
An intruder suddenly entered the forest.
A person who recklessly tried to take the sap of the Elencia root..
Then, when he was caught, he took hostages..
Instead of being embarrassed, he even grilled the meat with ease..
A man who even proposed negotiations under the pretext of meat and coal..
Even now, she couldn't forget what Lloyd said back then..
♣
“Negotiation is a way to narrow the distance between different interests..”
I was puzzled.
I wondered what he meant..
Lloyd continued..
“Well, you don't have to force the distance to narrow. Even a failed negotiation has its own meaning. The attempt to narrow the distance itself is half the success of the relationship. Just like this moment, where I am sitting side by side with those people who have been shouting for no negotiations..”
Lloyd chuckled..
“So anyway, let me summarize my suggestions again. We will provide meat, the food your tribe needs, every month. Burning stones and coal to be used when grilling meat..”
“Instead, we should give them the right to collect Elencia sap and 100 workers??”
“Yes, you are correct..”
“…….”
“If you don't like the offer, you can decline it. Or, if there are any further conditions you would like to accept, please let us know..”
“If I tell you, will you listen??”
“Listen to that..”
“…….”
Is this what humans call negotiation?.
Conditions offered by the other party.
What this side has to offer.
The act of weighing the benefits in between.
It was truly an unusual experience..
I've just lived a peaceful life wandering through the forest and hunting..
Myira hesitated in front of the unfamiliar experience of negotiating for the first time in her life..
I was lost in thought..
‘What would your mother do if she were there at a time like this?.’
Rochua, a mother who once interacted with humans in a place called ‘Gapel Territory’.
It is said that when those close to him passed away one by one, he returned to the forest and gave birth to himself. After enjoying her long life, I remembered the last words she left just before she passed away as a plant spirit..
‘You said that friendship with humans is only fleeting. Unlike us, they die too early and are fleeting. So, he told us to only trust our friends, the humans. If we trust the species itself, we will be in trouble..’
Then, the person in front of you named Lloyd is?
‘Not a friend. but…….’
I don't think it's the enemy.
As evidence, I am proposing negotiation..
furthermore…….
“Why are you taking off your armor??”
“Oh, I'm going to make a contract..”
“A contract??”
“It literally preserves the contents of the contract. Isn't this an important document that leaves evidence of the results of each negotiation, preventing and reducing misunderstandings and disputes that may arise in the future?.”
“Are you saying that if we leave that contract behind, there will be no room for argument between us??”
“Yes, most of the time.”
“Most of them…….”
“Because there is no such thing as perfection in this world. Well, anyway, okay. Turn it over like this and cut it out…….”
Puuk!
Lloyd took off his leather armor. He ripped off her shoulder pads, flipped them over, and stabbed them with his dagger. She cut it off. I made it square and unfolded it..
I smiled while looking at this side..
“I want to use this as a contract. Usually, contracts are made on paper, but I think the people there won't like that. By their standards, paper is probably a product made by harassing plants. That's right?”
“…….”
“So, have you sorted out your thoughts now??”
“yes.”
burning stone and meat.
conditions are good enough.
Especially considering the reality of the shortage of people suffering from food shortages, this proposal is like rain in a drought..
In addition, I liked the attitude of creating a contract of equal relationship rather than a simple verbal promise or rant. It was unexpected to see him cut off his own leather armor to be considerate of this person..
Just like that, Myira nodded..
“great. Let me take your offer..”
“Then, Elencia sap and workers?”
“of course.”
So I accepted the conditions..
Two copies of the contract were written and distributed..
As a bonus, an outsourcing contract for dispatching personnel was also drawn up..
Because of this, he received a strong reprimand from the tribe's elders..
They said they gave away the roots of a precious plant indiscriminately..
It's like opening the forest to humans..
‘But it's better than tribal children starving.’
It was a realistic compromise and decision made as a tribal leader..
If it is a reprimand, I will gladly accept it and accept it..
Instead, I will definitely take advantage of the benefits I will receive..
With that promise, I freed myself from the thought of Mu..
I looked away from the Barony of Frontera spread out in front of me..
I looked back at Lloyd who was standing next to me..
“It's just as you said..”
“yes?”
Lloyd looks at us curiously.
smiled faintly at him.
“Everything is different depending on the perspective from which you look at it. All right. The human perspective and lifestyle are different from ours. So where do we work??”
“Oh, let's start working right away.?”
“yes. Because that was the negotiation and promise..”
coal and meat.
I will work as hard as I get.
Lloyd smiled satisfied after hearing her words..
“First, learn how to work. Now, this way.”
Guided Myira and 100 elf workers to the territory..
Introduced to the baron and his wife.
The Baron's people and the residents of the territory were both confused and amazed at the sight of the elf for the first time. A young man fell in love for the first time, and a girl looked at him with envy..
So when Lloyd revealed what they were going to do, the Baron couldn't help but be taken aback..
“what? They're going to be rebar workers.?”
“yes.”
“Well, is that possible??”
“of course.”
“…….”
Lloyd nodded as if it was obvious..
The Baron was even more embarrassed..
“Hmm, still a little… … I'm worried that it might be too much..”
“Is it perhaps because of the delicate feeling that emanates from their appearance??”
“Ugh, I know it's a bit wrong to judge someone by their looks... … Hmm, I can’t help but feel that kind of worry..”
said the Baron hesitantly..
it was true.
To him, the elves seemed like mysterious and delicate deer..
He seemed like a fairy who had built a wall around his rough work all his life..
But they are going to be put into an apartment construction site?.
They're even going to make me do the extremely arduous work of a rebar worker..
“You probably know this too. The situation is such that even the rough and brave Orc warriors are making a fuss every day because they are scared while working on the iron bar. They cry so much that it's too high. It got worse in the few days you were gone..”
“I know. That's why I brought them here.”
“Those elves?”
“yes.”
Lloyd grinned..
“These are the people who have built up the greatest barrier to fear of heights. As a bonus, these people have greater physical strength than you might think..”
“They say they have great physical strength?”
“yes. Because they live a life ten times longer than that of us humans, running through the forest and shooting arrows..”
archery.
An action often associated with the agility stat in games..
But the reality was different.
It wasn't just different, it was very different..
Anyone who has been to an archery cafe even once will feel the pain with every muscle in their body..
The ability needed for archery is strength, not agility..
“The period of enjoying youth is much longer than ours. That means the muscle building period will be much longer. These are the people who shoot archery every day for those years. Of course, it would be obvious without saying anything about physical strength..”
Youth much longer than that of humans.
Muscle growth hormone secreted over a longer period of time.
In the meantime, they were meat lovers who shot arrows every day and ate meat full of protein like crazy..
If you know it, people whose whole body is like horse muscle.
If you look closely, the special forces Delta Force are such amazing people that you would treat them like kindergarten students..
That was the reality and truth of the delicate elf..
“So don't worry too much. Please leave the management of those people to me..”
“Hmm, after listening to it, I see there is some truth to what you said..”
In this way, persuading the Baron was successful..
From the next day, Lloyd taught the elf workers how to work..
They were elves who had no concept of construction in the first place..
We informed them of the concept and precautions of the field..
In particular, most attention was paid to safety training..
‘Fortunately, it's perfect because it basically has a tendency to take care of itself..’
Elves were cautious.
I learned it slowly but definitely learned it..
This was especially true when it came to safety on site..
As usual, after completing basic training, full-scale rebar work was taught..
“Now, placing rebar is called reinforcement work. Like here, like this, like this. It is important to place rebar according to the design exactly. And when tying crossed rebars together, we use a tool called a hooker..”
Taught several ways to tie rebar.
In addition, various skills were taught..
Tips for binding cement formwork.
A method of constructing something called a 'bungbari' to prevent the form from tilting or bursting due to the pressure of the pouring material..
Procedures and safety rules for dismantling the form after cement hardening is completed..
Intense training and practice were repeated over several days..
In the meantime, I have been chasing and pushing the elves countless times..
“If you tie the rebar like that, it will explode. Do you not want to eat meat??”
“hey? You have to peel the ink line on the floor, right? Otherwise, I might not be able to give you meat today.?”
“Hey, sister. If you do it like that, everything will fall down. Accidents happen. What if there is an accident? Tonight, I will serve you pork belly wrapped in lettuce.?”
In particular, lettuce, perilla leaves, and cabbage wraps showed the best effect..
If you give your favorite meat wrapped in wrap during Saecham time,?
Add finely chopped peppers and garlic?
Of course I didn't make him eat it..
Just showing it was enough.
Almost all the elves were genuinely freaked out..
Some of the soft-hearted people even burst into tears, saying they had made a mistake..
Thanks to the harsh(?) special training, the elf workers were able to become thorough ironworkers in just a few days..
And was put into the field.
Of course Lloyd was there too..
“For the time being, I plan to be on site to supervise and inspect your work. until when? Until you get used to the task. So, if you want to listen to my nagging less? You can adapt quickly to the scene.?”
The elves who heard his words shrugged their shoulders..
Even after being put into the field, I have to be supervised by that person..
I had a terrible feeling..
It was because of Lloyd’s Spartan thirst..
Among them, the experience of encountering lettuce wrap is truly amazing.…….
‘I want to decline. I don't want to go through this again!’
The elves decided.
I will show my best concentration today..
So I'll get Lloyd's approval..
I can no longer live with the fear of witnessing lettuce wrap..
Such determination and concentration brought out the elves' natural high-altitude athletic ability by 200%..
Taaat! Shashashak! Let’s go, let’s go! That's it!
The site of apartment building 102, where construction was halted for a while due to orc warriors complaining of a fear of heights..
At the top, the elf ironworkers literally started flying around..
