History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 241

241fury. Hell Railroad Ticket (1)

[A new tribute, has been created.]

‘Oh, oh?’

A message flashes before my eyes.

Lloyd swallowed his saliva while looking at that..

I looked away.

the direction his eyes are facing.

There was a lava giant that collapsed into hundreds of pieces..

- ……Rolling!

The giant's death horse rang harshly. It has faded. It never rang again.

Instead, a stone cut into pieces hit the ground and rang..

Coo! Quack! Kukkung!

Most of them are blazing, half-hardened stones..

Now it seemed like it could never bubble and fuse again..

‘Because it's too cold for that.’

Lloyd clenched his fists..

It's real this time.

When the lava giant's body cooled down enough, Haviel's sword strike went in properly..

Thanks to you, that giant is truly finished..

The message that appeared before my eyes was the proof..

‘Let's see.’

Lloyd took a breath and read the message..

[My hands are so cold, my feet are so cold]

[Praise Rating: Hell's Ghost Story]

lava giants are scary.

lava giants are hot.

Lava giants are violent.

So shh, don't make that giant angry.

That's all we knew.

The King of Hell is busy.

Because Hell Knights are in their later years who don’t like difficult work..

We didn't even dare to call out, so we just lived our lives getting beaten up..

I just thought the answer was to hold my breath and live like that..

But it wasn't.

There is a way for everything.

Lloyd Frontera, that guy..

I never knew that person would do something like that..

What is that??

If you want to listen, let's close the door first..

A cold wind came from over there... … Eh, etch.!

[Praise Effect: You played a decisive role in destroying the lava giants, the most dangerous and violent beings in Hell. At that time, thousands of Satans clearly witnessed your actions, and this story of your heroism would spread throughout hell. Thanks to this, you will be feared and respected by the Satans of Hell, comparable to a Hell Knight. Plus, you won't suffer from hypothermia or freeze in any extreme cold..]

[Praise area: All areas of hell, all areas with an average annual temperature below 0℃]

[Tribute maintenance period: 120 years (human world) / 100,000 years (hell))]

[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 : 6]

[CP you currently have : 1,142]

‘wow.’

Lloyd's lips twitched in his ears without even realizing it..

It had to be that way..

‘This praise is another sweet option..’

He could sense the power of his newfound praise as soon as he saw it..

‘First of all, the part about being feared and respected by the Satans of Hell as much as a Hell Knight. This will be of great help for the remaining construction work ahead..’

Railroad construction was never easy.

A special environment called hell.

An unusual worker named Satan.

Proceeding with normal construction in that situation was literally close to the level of difficulty in Hell..

‘of course. The ground becomes unstable due to lava from time to time, and Satan doesn't listen to my words, ugh. Just thinking about it makes my hair fall out from stress..’

That was the secret hardship he had experienced while carrying out construction for the past three months..

In particular, the task of controlling Satan was not easy..

It was literally because I didn't listen to what was said..

‘If it weren't for Javiel's omnidirectional surveillance, 20,000 out of 30,000 people would have already run away..’

Satans were people who could not be rehabilitated in the first place..

To control those guys, I had no choice but to use coercive methods..

The problem was that it was a burden on this side as well..

‘If you pay less attention, you will immediately lose control of the scene..’

Then the construction site will quickly become a mess..

In severe cases, the construction itself may become a disaster..

Even in Korea, very rarely, it was Lloyd who saw with his own eyes and heard with his ears such a sad scene..

‘But now a lot of those worries will disappear..’

Here in Hell, the Hell Knight is the next rank after the King of Hell..

Thanks to my newfound admiration, I now have as much authority as them..

It was expected that controlling Satan would become much easier in the future..

‘Plus hypothermia and verb immunity. This is also a sweet option.’

It was an option that would never be used in this hot hell..

But if I go to an area with extreme cold someday,?

Only then will it show its true value..

‘This is something I already felt firsthand when I came to hell this time..’

Lloyd recalled the praise he had once received while building the Qanat Waterway in the Sultanate, calling it 'the stagnant water of the Master of the West'..

The compliment option was similar to this one.

‘It was an option to not suffer from dehydration in all desert areas and all areas with average annual temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius..’

Thanks to that option, I was able to survive hell until now..

Even Javiel was able to stay calm in this place where he was sweating profusely because it was so hot..

At least here, there were no such sweet options..

However, the option for praise this time is?

‘In life, you never know when you might go to a cold place again..’

So the more compliments and options like this, the better..

Like the antibodies you get from vaccination.

If you keep it, it will definitely help you someday..

As expected, Lloyd received new praise with a happy heart..

That wasn't the only thing that made me happy..

‘Construction can now continue.’

It was a painstaking project that took three months to complete..

The construction of the roadbed had finally been completed and efforts were being put into laying the track..

So, it was a project that could bear fruit if we put in just one or two more months..

But it avoided falling over..

We were able to continue construction safely..

Finally, my pounding heart calmed down a little..

Lloyd, relieved, ran to Javiel first..

“Hey, are you okay??”

“yes, fortunately.”

A scene of destruction with the remains of the lava giant falling everywhere..

Javiel was taking a deep breath there..

My whole body was covered in sweat..

It could have been so.

‘Even though a cold wind blows from Hell Gate... … They ran and rolled and fought so hard in this place where everything was full of lava and flames, and even the air was acrid. Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be any injuries..’

Lloyd looked at Javiel with worried eyes..

But his mouth moved contrary to his feelings..

“Is it hot??”

“yes a little.”

“Tsk, he seems like a weak guy..”

“…….”

“Since you're a Grand Master, what's the point if you throw away a lot of auras? I can't even stand this heat, so I'm sweating like bone broth. Isn't that so?.”

Lloyd grinned and cursed..

Javiel responded, removing the sweaty bangs that stuck to his forehead..

“I'm sweating quite a bit, but now that I think about it, I think I'm in a better situation than Lloyd..”

“what? What is your situation? You're better than me?”

“yes.”

“how?”

“Because I, drenched in sweat and covered in volcanic ash, look better than the soft and fluffy Lloyd..”

“…….”

“It's also thrilling every time I realize it again. It's always new. Handsome is the best.”

“…….”

All you dirty bastards, I hope you all end up with hemorrhoids..

Is this what it feels like to get hit with a 14-ton GBU-57 MOP bunker buster on the top of your head while giggling and firing a slingshot?.

Lloyd swallowed the tears welling up in sorrow..

“Hey, is now the time to chat like this??”

“…….”

“Can’t you see the scene is in chaos? We need to fix it quickly. Is now the time to just sit there and catch your breath?.”

“…….”

“Come on, let's move quickly. hurry.”

“…….”

I forced the guy who was sitting down to catch his breath to stand up..

I pushed my back coldly and started clearing up the scene..

Nevertheless, the faint smile at the corner of Lloyd's mouth did not disappear..

I safely overcame an unexpected crisis..

Fortunately, Javiel is also safe..

That's enough.

So now, it was time to clean up the scene..

♣

The scene was quickly brought under control..

Although Satan killed over a thousand people.

Although I was secretly sorry and heartbroken over that fact,.

The roadbed for about 300 meters that was stepped on by the lava giant collapsed and was lost..

Fortunately, many Satans survived..

Restoration of the roadbed was also accomplished quickly..

In addition, a large crane that had never existed before was added, no, workers were also added..

It was Bone Dragon..

Creak! beep!

Bone Dragon, who joined the group late, worked harder than anyone else..

Undead's unique principle of no pay and no food was adopted..

I moved around all day to get praise from Lloyd..

“hey?”

Creak!

“Could you please scoop up the lava over there??”

Creak!

“Okay, good job. Then, let’s fill the hole where the lava was dug out with volcanic ash. Don’t forget to tread and chop thoroughly..”

Creak! beep!

“Wow, you are so good. Should I give it a name as an award? How about Yongyong??”

Creak! beep!

After receiving his name as an award(?), Yongyong's will to work grew even brighter..

Thanks to this, the motivation of other phantom species also increased..

“Po, bang, ha, kko!”

They were a fantasy species that had gone through a fierce battle between life and death with the Bone Dragon just a few months ago..

But now?

Bone Dragon was called Yongyong and was being reborn as a big idol on the scene..

From the perspective of the phantom species, the competitive spirit was clearly burning..

I can't lose my position to that newbie like this..

They said they would show their true power..

I worked with great motivation..

“Podong! Podo-dong!”

Podong worked even harder on disposing of the remaining soil in the area where roadbed construction was completed..

I blew hot volcanic ash and put it in my cheek pouch..

I jumped and flew until the soles of my feet were on fire..

Baeulgi also accelerated the production of rebar..

“Bell! Drop drops!”

No matter how hot it was here, there were places where rebar was used..

Reinforcing bars were mainly used to bond joints between rails made of centipede shells..

Like shooting a silicon gun in the field.

Like attaching materials with silicone melted by heat..

Here, rebar served as the glue..

Meanwhile, Hamang also did his best in his role..

“Sigh! Hmmmm!”

Boo and evil!

Hamangi drank all the hot spring water from all over hell..

In an instant, it became a giant 70-meter roller..

In that state, we rolled around the site and solidified the area to be solid..

Comingi also sweated hard every day..

“Now, Coming? Let's go!”

“Coming!”

Kkomin flew around the site with Lloyd every day until heat rashes appeared on the wings of his wings..

In addition, Satan also acted on the scene with even more enthusiasm..

Lloyd has become an authority comparable to Hell Knight..

I became willing to work any overtime if it was his order..

Thanks to this, restoration of the destroyed site was completed in an instant..

Track construction also progressed at a more unstoppable pace..

The gravel roadbed was solidly compacted..

Sleepers were placed in the transverse sleeper manner to maintain the gauge and distribute the train load..

The centipede shell was processed and inserted into the floor with a 25-meter long chuck rail. It was joined like welding with melted rebar..

The last was the construction of the station..

It wasn't particularly difficult or complicated either..

‘In the first place, there are only two places to build a station: Hell Castle and the edge of Hell..’

Origin and destination.

All you had to do was build a station at both ends..

Lloyd chose the simplest structure for the station to speed up construction and facilitate maintenance..

‘There's no need to be complicated. It is best to place a railroad track on both sides and a platform made of hardened concrete in the middle. After all, it’s not like dealing with picky passengers. All you have to do is be comfortable loading and unloading large quantities of souls onto the train..’

We focused on securing as much platform space as possible..

countless souls.

Lots of satanic stevedores to load and unload it..

As they worked and moved, the space was made ridiculously wide so that their paths did not overlap..

Huge amounts of rebar and volcanic ash concrete were used..

The blood, sweat, and tears of the Satans were poured out without leaving work..

I spent a month just constructing the platform..

Thanks to this, a very large platform measuring 300 meters in length and 100 meters in width was completed at the stations on both sides of Hell Castle and the end of Hell..

5A project called Hell Railway that Lloyd proposed to the King of Hell six months ago. 666.

It was the moment when the first railway in Hell, spanning 110 kilometers, was completed..

“at las! It's completed!”

“Wow!”

“Now we are free!”

“I can go home!”

“Rolling around again can hurt your parents.!”

“hurray!”

The day the railroad was finally completed.

Those who felt the greatest joy were none other than the Satans on site..

The emotion and feeling of completing a construction that will go down in the history of hell.?

They had nothing like that..

Just that I could finally escape from being a slave worker..

I can go back to being an unemployed person once again..

Everyone was happy, shedding tears of joy.

Of course, they did not forget to ask for their compensation..

They chose one-horned Satan as their representative..

Tried to negotiate with Lloyd.

“Lloyd! I have something to tell you!”

“What.”

“Haven't we worked hard all this time?!”

“Oh, I guess so.”

“yes! So I demand wages! Please give me some of the daily wages I have accumulated.!”

“no. go away.”

“thank you!”

……So the negotiations broke down..

The Satans who received Lloyd's message through One-Horned Satan all nodded in admiration..

He engraved in his heart the promise that one day, if he were to manipulate another Satan, he would follow Lloyd's example and that he would become a great business owner like him..

And everyone returned to their hometown.

Only after that did Lloyd begin additional construction on his own..

Taang! Kaang! taang!

Immediately after all Satan's workers were dispersed.

A corner of the platform at the edge of a deserted hell.

There, Lloyd held a hammer and chisel alone..

I hit the volcanic rock I brought from somewhere with a hammer and chiseled it..

The shape was simple and crude..

Didn't even show any delicate skills..

I just hit it, cut it, and engraved it with my hidden sincerity..

It was some kind of tombstone.

It was also a memorial to the Satans who lost their lives in an untimely attack by a lava giant while clinging to space and time..

‘This should be enough.’

Lloyd looked at the completed memorial with a solemn expression..

It was a memorial stone erected secretly for fear of being criticized by Satan or receiving looks of disappointment, saying that they had no idea he was such a good person..

‘Still, I feel at ease like this.’

Even if it's Satan.

In any case, they were people who suffered tragic deaths while working for themselves..

I wanted to commemorate them in this way..

Even if it is nothing more than self-satisfaction.

I thought that doing something like this was the bare minimum..

Lloyd, who secretly erected a memorial, headed to Hell..

Now, it was time to get payment for the construction from the King of Hell..
