History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 197
197fury. Master stagnant water (2)
Ding dong.
[A new tribute, has been created.]
‘Oh, oh.’
A message that appears vividly before your eyes.
Seeing that, Lloyd internally clenched his fists..
He had already successfully completed numerous construction projects..
He had various achievements and accolades..
Of course, I was hoping that this time too I would get at least one decent compliment..
‘No, I'll be sad if something like this doesn't pop up anymore..’
It was a construction project that took four months..
I had to turn a page from the spring day of my life in a hot and dry desert..
So, this level of compensation should be provided..
Lloyd rolled his eyes in anticipation..
[The remains of the Master of the West Country]
[Praise Rating: Biography of a local great person]
There is no water.
I'm thirsty.
The sultan has abandoned us..
Even the management ran away..
no one helps us.
I just thought it was like that.
It will be like this forever.
Even if everyone dies, it will be the same.
Everyone was giving up like that..
That's why.
One night when the master from the neighboring country woke us up.
When water was handed out with all kinds of condescension.
I thought he was a really strange person..
I also thought he was some kind of shady person..
I didn't know then.
That the master won't give up on us..
The fact that he will work every day, covering his entire body with sand, for us who have abandoned even the sultan and the officials..
So how has this place changed now??
Before answering, let me ask you a question..
Sir, what kind of car do you like??
[Praise effect: By resolving the chronic drought in the Kandahar region, you have come to be revered as a benefactor and great person to the entire local people. Additionally, these beautiful stories will spread throughout the desert region through word of mouth. All desert tribesman shamans in the world bless your name with gratitude and respect. Thanks to this, you will never experience dehydration under any circumstances within the area under the influence of the compliment..]
[Tribute area: All desert areas, all areas with an average annual temperature above 40℃]
[Tribute maintenance period: 300 years]
[A compliment is effective 24 hours a day within the region and time 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 : 4]
[CP you currently have : 614]
‘wow.’
After reading all the praise, Lloyd was purely impressed..
It had to be that way..
‘Dehydration symptom immune effect.’
Desert areas, or hellish environments with an annual average temperature of over 40 degrees Celsius.
Even though such environmental conditions were a clue, immunity to dehydration symptoms was still a huge effect..
dehydration.
This is because there are few symptoms that can take a person's life as easily as that..
‘of course. If only about 12% of the water is lost from the body, a person will die. But dehydration isn't that hard to get..’
Suffering from a serious illness and experiencing repeated vomiting and diarrhea.
Sweating excessively and neglecting hydration.
Or being shipwrecked in the desert or the open sea..
Even if that happens, your body will soon become dehydrated and symptoms of dehydration will appear..
But it prevents that..
At least in the desert, you won't have to die of thirst..
‘Or fall into hell due to great misfortune.’
Well, of course that won't happen..
Lloyd shrugged..
As such, I was happy to receive new praise..
But his enjoyment did not end there..
In addition to the praise that comes with a message,.
In fact, it was thanks to the deafening praise that poured in..
“uncle, water!”
It was right after I returned from teaching the use and management of qanat to villages throughout the Kandahar region..
As I entered downtown Kandara, someone shouted in this direction..
I guess I'm only about five or six years old now..
A small little boy came running..
And he thrust out a wooden cup in this direction..
Fluffy!
More than half of the water in the glass splashed out..
I got my pants completely wet..
“Ugh?”
Lloyd was surprised..
But I didn't blame the kid.
It was because of the bright eyes of the little boy looking up at me..
“moul!”
“……Let me drink?”
“yes!”
“Then I give you this.?”
“yes!”
The kid nodded, puffing his cheeks like a bun..
He said with his black eyes shining even brighter..
“Mom said that! She said you gave water to Selim!”
“Oh, by any chance your name is Selim.?”
“huh!”
“Then Selim also presents water to you.?”
“yes! You said you were thirsty too!”
“…….”
I received a glass of water that wasn't even half full..
drank slowly.
All this time, I could feel the eyes focused on this direction..
Numerous citizens of Kandara had gathered. I was looking this way. Some people have happy eyes. Someone else clapped. Everyone was showing their gratitude and favor..
“…….”
I'm just trying to achieve my goal.
In order to conclude the special envoy's negotiations,.
To prevent war between the Sultanate and.
It's just something I did to live comfortably..
But is it okay for me to be treated like this?.
‘It's strange, this feeling.’
I was embarrassed.
On the one hand, I felt embarrassed and sorry..
This was especially true for the rebels, including Mr. Termez..
“……That praise and support from earlier was supposed to be received by you, not me..”
That evening, Lloyd told Termes how he felt..
“This is because he had been carrying out various activities against the sultan who had abandoned this province. He saved his own money and bought water to help those in need, and he also tried to restore a well that had been abandoned by local officials who had run away..”
What Lloyd said was true..
This was not the only activity of the rebels, including Termez..
Things I just mentioned.
While doing this, they tried to persuade the local emirs..
He argued that the abundance and wealth concentrated only in the capital Ahinsha should be distributed to the provinces, and that in order to do so, the military forces dispersed in the provinces should be brought together to put pressure on the sultan. He persistently called for solidarity among the emirs.
“But in reality, we haven't been able to successfully supply water to the entire region like this..”
Termes looks back and smiles..
He was already dressed for the trip..
That wasn't all.
Rebel officials also.
their families too.
Everyone was wearing sturdy travel clothes..
The camel's back was also loaded with supplies needed for long distance travel..
Because tonight, we would begin our journey to seek asylum in the Frontera territory..
Termes said.
“It is true that we tried hard. But it didn't achieve that much results. So there is no need to feel sorry for us. Rather, this is something we should be thankful for..”
His smile deepened..
“Thanks to this, the people of this region were able to find a way to live. We were also able to make a fresh start by finding a new home in the Frontera territory. It means that everything you said back then, when you were kidnapped by us, was put into practice..”
“Mr. Termes.”
“Thank you. You are like our benefactor. That's why.”
dump.
Suddenly, Termes got down on one knee..
The same was true for the rebel men behind him..
Everyone bowed their heads politely..
Termes said as if declaring.
“I, the son of Murat Termes, Damietta Termes, and all of my comrades hereby pledge our unwavering loyalty to you, Lloyd Frontera, until the moment of death..”
‘omg.’
There was no time to stop it..
Termes knelt down and swore an oath of allegiance..
At the same time, another message appeared before Lloyd's eyes..
Ding dong.
[Open favorability]
[Sultanate rebel leader Damietta Termes has pledged allegiance to you..]
[Damietta Termes will cherish your grace throughout her life and will follow you unchangingly until the moment of death..]
[As a result, you will be able to increase your affinity with Damietta Termes and earn RP..]
[50 RP will be given as a special favorability opening bonus..]
[RP you currently own : 2,755]
[Damietta Termes' affinity for you has increased by +11..]
[Current relationship with Damietta Termes : +61]
[Obtained 77 RP by improving relationships with characters..]
[RP you currently own : 2,832]
[Additionally, we would like to inform you that the affinity value of the rebel comrades who pledged allegiance with Damietta Termes is added to the average favorability value of all residents of the Frontera Territory..]
‘Wow.’
From praise to favorability and RP.
what day is today.
Lloyd quickly controlled the corners of his mouth that were about to be heard..
And while trying to ignore the turtle neck that was shouting 'True loyalty begins after death!' with a hand gesture, I looked at Termes and the rebel men..
“……thank you, everyone.”
When a person sincerely reveals something, he or she must be equally sincere..
No, we should at least pretend to..
that's polite.
Lloyd accepted Termes' pledge of loyalty with a serious expression, eyes, and voice..
“I will try harder not to disappoint you..”
“……lord.”
“The night will be cold. I hope you get to Frontera territory safely..”
“Yes, my lord. Then we will go first..”
“Please do so. turtle neck?”
Squeak!
The turtle quickly came forward at Lloyd’s call..
“From now on, you and the Golbyeongdae must become guides for these people. You can do it well?”
Creak!
The turtle neck nodded its skull bravely..
It was a turtle and a golbyeongdae that had already crossed the desert once..
Thanks to this, I was able to feel with every bone in my body which path was dangerous for living humans and which path was comfortable..
Moreover, the rebel men, including Termes, were born and raised in the desert..
A reliable guide called Golbyeongdae.
There was a combination of travelers from the desert..
There seemed to be no need to worry too much about the party's journey to the Frontera territory..
Thus, the Gauls, Termes, and the rebel forces left Kandara and embarked on a long journey into exile..
Only then was Lloyd able to breathe comfortably..
It was thanks to finally letting go of the burden..
“Whoa.”
I'm used to receiving compliments through messages..
The compliments I received in real life from real people were a bit different..
I felt a little burdened and embarrassed..
On the one hand, I was embarrassed.
I still felt at ease when I was promoting my good deeds by putting an iron plate on my face to get the rebels' cooperation..
‘For some reason, I'm completely embarrassed to receive compliments on a mat. This isn't even a tree frog.’
A bitter smile came out of me..
So I returned home.
We prepared for our journey to Ahinsha, the capital of the Sultanate, scheduled for the next day..
However, there continued to be burdensome praise for this side..
The next hitter(?) was unexpectedly an attendant assigned to us by the Sultan..
“With sincere respect, Lloyd..”
“…….”
Why is this guy doing this again?.
Accommodation hallway.
There, Lloyd looked at the attendant leader with a devastated face..
40The head of the entourage, who appeared to be in his early teens, spoke seriously with a solemn face..
“Actually, I knew it from the beginning. I couldn't help but notice. The fact that Mr. Lloyd is carrying out construction with the cooperation of the rebels active here..”
“……Oh, was that also the case??”
“yes.”
The attendant leader nodded..
“Because we also have eyes and ears. So I thought a lot about it. Should I stop it? Should I dare to accuse him of collaborating with those who rebel against the Sultan? But it didn't happen. No, I thought I shouldn't do that..”
“Why was it.”
“This is because Lloyd thought that completing the qanat would be a way to stabilize the lives of the local residents and also be a way to benefit the Sultan..”
“Looking at it from a larger perspective, did you think it was a matter of being loyal to the sultan??”
“Yes in public, but not in private.”
“Not privately.?”
“Because I felt personally respected..”
“……Wow.”
“Respect, Lloyd..”
“Ah, I see. Take this hand…….”
“10Can't we just hold on for a second longer? When I return to Ahinsha, I would like to proudly tell my son the story of holding hands with a respectable man..”
“……That's it.”
I cringe.
It feels like not only my hands and feet, but also the terminal neuron tissue of the hypothalamus and the villous process of the duodenum are all holding hands, crossing the wall, and cringing with a special holiday package..
But Lloyd endured that moment with all his might..
40I endured the burdensome look from Uncle Dae..
He even signed a piece of paper handed to him by the man..
‘Oh, shit. Why do only dark men keep liking me like this?.’
The same goes for the candidates for my father-in-law who always try to make him his son-in-law..
The same goes for men who do not hesitate to make comments because they are loyal and respect them..
The more I thought about it, the more my sadness soared..
Thinking about those feelings, I left Kandara with my group the next day..
Received a sendoff filled with cheers from citizens.
I enjoyed the cold of the desert night and the swaying camels..
After several days of travel, I returned to Ahinsha, the capital of the Sultanate..
But even here, its popularity has not cooled down..
To be precise, the ultimate king among the uncles who claimed to be our father-in-law was lurking in Ahinsha's palace..
“……How come you are not my son-in-law yet??”
The place where people entered the palace to report on the completion of the qanat.
As soon as he saw this side, Sultan Samarqan opened his eyes with burning eyes, gritted his teeth, and openly revealed his passionate fandom(?)..
