History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 148
148fury. To escape solo (3)
A sweet temptation that suddenly came from somewhere.
A suggestion that makes you feel sweet just by putting it in the cochlea inside your ear hole..
Solitas paused at that unexpected temptation..
“……what?”
The self-destruction that was about to be triggered was quickly stopped..
I looked towards the direction the voice came from..
There was another human being there..
I remembered seeing a glimpse of it just before I fired my first breath..
A human who is on the same team as the silver-haired knight who was fighting him just now..
He was a man with dark hair..
“proposal? you? to me?”
“yes. I am. To that person.”
Lloyd grinned..
“It's exactly as I just said. If you don't mind, please take a look at my suggestion..”
“So, if you listen to it, it will allow you to get married within 10 years.?”
“yes.”
“how can i believe that?”
Solitas' face was distorted..
He said, looking alternately at Javiel and Lloyd, who were standing in front and behind him..
“To be honest, I thought I would listen to the story because it sounded fascinating, but I just couldn't believe it. If you think about it, you guys are just intruders who arbitrarily entered my dungeon..”
“yes? An intruder? A thousand words.”
Solitas' gaze became wild..
Lloyd quickly applied saliva to his lips..
“We just came here to give you a good offer from the beginning..”
“under. gibberish. Then why did you come in after destroying all the magic traps?.”
“I don't want to die.”
“what?”
“The magic traps were so elaborately laid out. Was it too fatal? So I had no choice. I just did my best not to die. As a result, she ended up damaging the trap. If that was rude, I would like to formally apologize. I'm really sorry.”
“what…….”
Solitas was at a loss for a rebuttal for a moment..
What that person says.
It felt like I was just throwing something out, but it made some sense..
Moreover, before this side could come up with a plausible rebuttal, they attacked the player again..
“Anyway, I worked hard to get here. Just to give you a good suggestion..”
“What a good offer.…….”
“Wouldn't you like to learn jewelry processing techniques from the best craftsmen??”
“What?”
Solitas paused..
My eyes suddenly widened..
Lloyd said quickly..
“I won't talk about it. Dear Dragon, I understand your concerns. Are you not very dexterous with your hands? He had been having trouble processing jewelry, which prevented him from hoarding his treasures, and he was heartbroken because he could not get married.?”
“how do you do that…….”
“It's a solvable problem. It's okay if you don't have much manual dexterity. All you have to do is make an effort. That is, after receiving intense training from the best craftsmen for about 10 years. Then, won't you be able to master jewelry processing well?.”
“Now, wait a minute. wait for a sec.”
Solitas interrupted Lloyd..
I asked with eyes full of astonishment..
“How do you know that I'm not good with my hands and that I'm struggling with my marriage? By what means? how?”
I was embarrassed.
No, I was embarrassed..
he was a dragon.
Did not interact with any humans.
It has only been about 50 years since it became an adult..
I had no experience interacting with other dragons or similar races, let alone humans..
But he is a person who knows exactly what his personal troubles are..
There were no tweezers like these..
‘How on earth did I become a human being??’
I didn't understand.
How does that person know his own situation?.
Could it be a ghost?.
Or maybe he's an old dragon who hides his identity and pretends to be human..
Or is he a great wizard or a prophet who has reached the highest level among humans?.
Solitas felt a mixture of caution and curiosity, caution and wonder, like jjamjjamyeon..
A polite smile appeared at the corner of Lloyd's eyes..
“It wasn't hard to figure it out.”
“It wasn't difficult?”
“The Iron Blood Knight told me this..”
“article? iron-blooded?”
“yes.”
“that is… … who?”
“This is an incredibly powerful article. So much so that I was able to fool that person's senses, scout out this place, and easily escape..”
“lie.”
Solitas wrinkled his nose..
“You are lying to me now. There is no way humans are that strong. You fooled my senses and entered and left this dungeon? So secretly that I don’t even notice until then? There's no way something like that would be possible. Do you think such a person could exist??”
“yes.”
“how?”
“Didn't you just see that friend?.”
Lloyd naturally pointed at Javiel..
“You probably remember it. Just now, I had a fierce battle with that person with just one sword..”
“that…….”
“Besides, the Iron Blood Knight is stronger than that guy..”
Of course it's true.
In the novel, Javiel was given the title of ‘Steel-Blooded Knight’. Haviel at that future point was stronger than Haviel of the present..
It was the level of a grand master..
6He was the holder of the dog circle, that is, the hexa circle..
If you put your mind to it, it wouldn't be an easy task to deceive the senses of the newly adult dragon Solitas..
Lloyd said.
“That article told me. There is a dragon's dungeon here, but there are no gems piled up. He also said that even the little that was accumulated was of poor processing quality..”
“So, you guessed my situation based on that story??”
“yes.”
Lloyd nodded..
I put confidence in my voice.
“Otherwise, how could I have dared to guess his circumstances and concerns?.”
The Iron Blooded Knight is, of course, a fictional character..
This is the Haviel in the book that doesn't exist here..
So now we are in a bluffing situation..
However, there is no way for anyone to check if this is a lie..
In times like these, you need to show confidence..
That's how even nonsense that shouldn't work works..
How to make a fake that works better.
“Hehehe.”
A deep wrinkle was drawn between Solitas's eyebrows..
Doubts, worries, curiosity and interest mixed together in his mind..
Can you trust that person?.
Is that really true?.
Naturally, suspicion arose..
However, there was a place where it was difficult to dismiss it as a lie..
‘You're hitting the core of my concerns so accurately..’
The hardship and pain of not being able to accumulate treasures because I did not have the skill to cut jewels, and thus not being able to get married..
I mentioned that as if I was pointing it out with tweezers..
He is boasting that he will solve that problem..
It was information that no one could have known unless someone had secretly looked into the dungeon's situation..
But I know that.
That means that nonsense may be true..
So I want to check it out.
Because it won’t be much of a loss.
Solitas made up her mind after much thought..
“So, you came to give me a good offer.?”
“yes.”
That dragon has come over.
Lloyd was convinced of that, and a smile appeared on his face as if it had written trust, sincerity, and honesty..
His tongue smeared saliva on my lips..
Looking at that scene from the side, Haviel suddenly thought:.
‘An iron-blooded knight.’
It's a name I've heard before..
This is something Lloyd mentioned in passing..
‘Who is it?.’
I became curious.
He said he was stronger than me.
But I've never heard that name anywhere else..
‘Is he someone who quietly practices swordsmanship without making his name known? But it gets even weirder when you think about it that way. Why did someone like that give Lloyd secret help??’
A person with tremendous skills who surpasses himself.
A person who seems to be secretly interacting with Lloyd.
Javiel felt that the two facts did not match well..
‘I guess it's strange. Besides, I never saw Lloyd secretly meeting someone..’
Did they meet after putting him to sleep with a lullaby?.
The more I thought about it, the more puzzling it became..
But I didn't think that the Iron-Blooded Knight that Lloyd was talking about was a completely fictional character..
It was because of the image of Lloyd he always had in mind..
‘Because I’m not a person who moves based on half-baked information and plans..’
The Lloyd he thought was a mothball.
He was the type of person who was petty, strict, mean, and worked hard to avoid even the slightest loss..
In other words, it means that it is timid..
The more timid a person is, the more cautious he is..
‘Lloyd is such a thorough person. Poor information and plans? I'm not the kind of person who would ever act carelessly like that. If you do that, you may think you will suffer a huge loss. In other words, Lloyd knew in advance that there was a dragon dungeon here and the inside circumstances of this place. He probably got information from a trustworthy person, made a plan based on that, and made his move..’
The result will be this moment.
‘This means that the Iron-Blooded Knight who provided trustworthy information to Lloyd is a person who actually exists..’
Who on earth is this?.
The more I guessed, the more curious I became..
On the other hand, the sight of Lloyd trying to negotiate with the dragon felt a little surprising..
‘This situation and the whole plan were designed based on that information..’
brought him to fight the dragon.
I ended up subduing the dragon..
In this way, we imprinted our superiority on the dragon..
The endless arrogance typical of dragons has been shattered..
Just like that, with the advantage over the baseline, the dragon is making a sweet offer to entice you..
Showing off his unique flashy tongue movements..
‘That tongue movement is a weapon in itself.’
But that tongue movement.
You don't just use your tongue and open your mouth..
We have created an environment and situation in advance where our tongue play will be 100% effective..
You can only use your tongue on a perfectly laid board like that..
That's why it produces powerful and efficient results every time..
‘Anyway, he seems like a scary person..’
And it seems like a poor dragon that was caught by a person like that..
Javiel looked at the dragon Solitas with a feeling of pity..
Solitas was already halfway through Lloyd's tongue play..
“It's just like I said before. Learn jewelry cutting techniques from the best artisans. By becoming an apprentice..”
“apprentice? artisan?”
“yes. There happens to be someone like that in my territory..”
“who is that?”
“This is Elder Wels Corgidus, the royal dwarf craftsman..”
“Dwarf? corgidus?”
Solitas' eyes shook slightly..
He's a craftsman, but he's even a dwarf..
Then there is no need to check your skills..
Definitely the best of the best.
“then… … Are you asking me to become that dwarf's apprentice and learn the art of jewel cutting??”
“yes. It's not that your pride is hurt or anything.?”
“……Mmm.”
To be honest, my pride was a little hurt..
But after hearing Lloyd’s next words, my thoughts changed..
“If you just bend your pride a little, you will get a girlfriend. Become rich, get married, have a sweet newlywed life, have two children, and create a happy family..”
“is it? I'm also going on a honeymoon.?”
“What kind of obvious statement.”
“…….”
Solitas' breathing became slightly louder..
But like a dragon, he quickly regained his composure..
“Hmm, that's a good suggestion, but I still have my doubts..”
“It's doubt. What is it??”
“I feel like they are giving it to me one-sidedly. Of course you want something from me?”
“of course. I was just about to tell you now..”
“Let me tell you.”
“yes. I will make this clear straight to the point. Please use the breath only once a month near my territory..”
“……Breath?”
“yes.”
Solitas was puzzled..
What on earth does that mean?.
Lloyd continued..
“A grand sewer is going to be built in my territory. It is a facility that separates, collects, and treats various sewage and sewage through underground sewage channels..”
“so?”
“As a result of the treatment, a large amount of sediment called sludge will be created..”
“no way…….”
“yes. After all, you are a dragon. You guessed it already. That guess is correct.”
“Are you asking me to burn the sludge with my breath??”
“yes.”
Lloyd nodded..
“This is too much to handle and burn by human hands. It's difficult and dangerous. However, if it's the dragon's breath, it only takes 10 seconds. Is it possible for you to turn me into ashes?.”
it was true.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't think of a way to dispose of the sludge with human power..
Even if a wizard was used, it would have been like that..
‘Hellfire magic used by the greatest royal wizard? Even that is difficult.’
Hellfire magic is of course hot..
But that heat doesn't last even a few seconds. The range is also narrower than expected, making it difficult to process large amounts of sludge at once..
Rather, it may explode with useless explosive force, scattering dirty sludge fragments everywhere..
On the other hand, Dragon Breath?
‘The temperature itself is amazing.’
In addition, the range and duration of high heat were truly on a different level..
Literally only once a month.
By blowing with your breath, you can instantly turn the accumulated sludge into ash..
‘Then we make fertilizer with the ashes..’
That was Lloyd's plan..
He made a final thrust of persuasion to realize his plan..
“If you feel that disposing of sludge is dirty, there is nothing you can do. Unless you reject my offer and plan to live your entire life as a single person in this dark dungeon..”
“…….”
Solo.
That one word tightened Solitas’ heart..
‘Jeez, damn it..’
The red dragon was furiously worried..
That person's suggestion.
After hearing this, I had to put aside my pride twice..
You must become an apprentice to a dwarven artisan..
Sludge in which excrement has settled must be disposed of..
But if you just bend over and put aside your pride,?
‘You can walk on a flower path for the rest of your life.’
Successful Love and Marriage.
The dream you have longed for so far will become a reality..
‘once… … Should I try it?.’
Solitas' heart was moved..
Of course, he had no idea what fate he had faced at this point in the novel, Iron Blooded Knight..
The fact that he had to confront Haviel due to the conflict surrounding the elf forest. Also, at the end of that confrontation, her horn was cut off and she was mortally wounded, causing her to run away. I had no idea that he suffered from that bitter wound for 500 years and met a miserable end..
Instead, at this moment.
Thanks to Lloyd, a new path of choice has been laid before Solitas..
And Solitas was determined to change his fate..
“good night. accept that offer.”
“Well thought out.”
fluttering!
Lloyd smiled brightly and took out a document..
A capitalist token carefully prepared for this moment..
Required documents for a slave contract that not only humans, orcs, elves, and even dragons can avoid, but is more realistic and terrible than any magical covenant..
It was an outsourcing work contract..
