History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 248

248fury. The inside story of a nerdist (2)

“……Grumble! Puyuuuu.”

This is the Magic Dragon Cave.

The home of the Dragon King and a sacred place where all dragons in the world worship..

A vast dungeon that wouldn't be cramped at all even if ten giant dragons teamed up and played a game of full-court basketball..

The sound of Dragon King Berkis' snoring rang loudly there..

Now that I am one with the sofa, my posture is so comfortable..

The blanket someone gave me was really cozy..

But the breeze fanned by that human being was truly refreshing..

I couldn't be this comfortable.

My eyelids closed spontaneously..

Without even realizing it, I began a powerful journey into dreamland..

In other words, Berkis was in a perfect sleep state..

Thanks to this, the corners of Lloyd's mouth slowly rose..

‘Hehe, it's done..’

Succeeded in putting the troublemaker in the corner of the room to sleep.

Lloyd smiled happily..

I took a quick look at Dragon King Berkis, who was completely asleep..

I even checked to see if I was really asleep just in case..

Even though I waved my open palm in front of the Dragon King's face, I saw it..

As expected, there was no response from the Dragon King..

rather…….

“Puyuuuu! Hmm, ok.”

Breathing became more comfortable.

this is real.

fell asleep properly.

Convinced, Lloyd lifted his heel and quietly retreated from the Dragon King..

Habiel, who had been looking this way from earlier, asked.

“Lloyd, what have you done??”

“What did you do.”

Lloyd grinned..

“I put the Dragon King to sleep.”

“I know that because I saw it too.-”

Javiel's suspicious expression deepened..

“What on earth are you trying to do by putting the Dragon King to sleep like that?.”

“There are two things.”

“Two things?”

“uh.”

Lloyd's reply continued..

“One is not to disobey the Dragon King's wishes. When I first saw it, I felt it right away. You saw it too. Even after seeing us, he fell asleep right away without saying hello..”

“yes, i saw that too.”

“right?”

“yes. He looked like Lloyd from back in the day..”

“uh?”

“This is Lloyd from the days when he was too drunk and couldn't wake up no matter how much I tried to wake him up the next morning..”

“…….”

“I don't know if you remember, but Lloyd was exactly like that at the time. It never happened. The more I tried to wake him up, the more angry he became, swearing and throwing things..”

“…….”

“Thinking about those days, I understand Lloyd’s intention. I see. There is nothing more offensive than forcing someone who wants to sleep more to wake up..”

“…….”

Was this a compliment?.

Or was the corn blown away by the fastball that flew in without hesitation?.

Lloyd felt a rising sense of sadness..

It was a little unfair.

‘Ah, Mr. Lloyd wasn't me back then, nigga.’

But neither Javiel nor anyone else in this world would know that..

That fact is a secret that only you know..

So this is the original sin that you have to bear with yourself..

Let's think of it that way..

Lloyd made an effort to put on a shameless expression and snorted..

“Tsk. Anyway, he's consistently good at beating people with words. Anyway, as you said, my first intention is not to offend the Dragon King like that..”

“So what is the second one?.”

“Playing.”

“……yes?”

“Didn't you hear? I'm going to play.”

“Is it really here??”

“uh.”

It seems so natural.

Lloyd nodded vigorously..

His nonchalant and shameless words continued..

“lets think. The Dragon King called us, right? You even sent the Manticore, right? Besides, you didn't say anything when you saw us come in, right? Then what is this? We are officially invited here. is not it?”

“That's true, but…….”

“Since I was invited, I should enjoy it. The Dragon King fell asleep anyway. It's a bit hard to force it to wake up. Besides, how many years can the Dragon King sleep like that? So, while I wait, I should have some fun..”

“What on earth are you going to do to have fun?.”

“Wallow wallow.”

The corner of Lloyd's mouth quirked up..

Rolling around with nothing to do.

Just lying around like an unemployed person.

It was something I wanted to do the most..

When I saw the Dragon King hanging down like that, my desire was stimulated even more..

It was because I was tired inside..

“To be honest, I want to get some rest. Think about it. I've been working for some time now?”

“Well, almost five months in hell, and…….”

“Just before I went to hell, I worked on the Termina Grand Garden for about half a year because of the King's sister.?”

“yes.”

“yes. So, I've been working hard for almost a year now without being able to rest.?”

“You were diligent..”

“I'm not happy with that kind of praise.”

“You couldn't be lazy..”

“Yeah, that's it. Anyway, that's why.”

Lloyd pointed inside the vast cavity of the Demon Dragon Cave..

“This is a long-awaited vacation. Who will touch me while I'm in the Demon Dragon's Cave? is not it?”

it was true.

In some ways, this was the safest place in the world..

It was the Demon Dragon Cave where the Dragon King resided..

But who would dare come here?.

Who will come to call you?.

This was literally a space where complete freedom and relaxation were guaranteed without anyone's interference..

It was from then on..

Lloyd began to openly enjoy his rest in the Demon Dragon's Cave..

It was a vacation, or a staycation..

There was even a rest area here that rivaled that of a five-star hotel..

Unbelievably, it was Royal Castle.

There were even two royal castles like that..

“……I think this was ‘picked up’ from somewhere.?”

Two royal castles placed side by side in a corner of the cave of Maryong Cave..

Lloyd, who discovered it while exploring the cavity, looked angry..

No matter how you look at it.

Looking from the left and looking from the right.

The magnificent building in front of you is a royal palace..

But the area below the royal castle was a bit strange..

‘It looks like it was ripped from somewhere, no, it looks like it was ripped from somewhere..’

It was certain.

The entire support structure of the royal castle, including the ground beneath it, had been completely torn apart and moved here..

Looking at it, Lloyd was suddenly able to recall an old memory..

‘that's right. There was something mentioned in the Iron Blood article as well. Was there a time when the royal capital Magenta was called by a different name? At that time, it was said that there was a foolish king who was chosen twice by one dragon. He talked about it with the royal envoy the first time he went to the royal capital..’

Then it occurred to me.

There was definitely such a story.

But now that I come here to the Demon Dragon Cave,…….

‘The dragon that chose the capital was the Dragon King.!’

I finally knew.

So, that Dragon King, the perfectly fine King Seong, was truly plucked up like radishes from a field. Lulu lala, I brought her here while humming her song..

‘Then they put it in as an interior accessory..’

I felt like something was far away.

But Lloyd soon came to his senses..

Since this has already happened, I thought I should take a look inside the castle..

And soon I realized.

‘This, inside the royal castle, was managed much better than I expected.?’

It was unexpected.

It was shiny and shiny everywhere..

It seemed as if they had been diligently cleaning and tidying up until this morning..

There was no dust anywhere inside the vast royal castle..

Even the beds in each bedroom were soft and fluffy.!

‘Hehehe. oh my god.’

Lloyd made up his mind..

If not at times like this, when would you ever sleep in the king's bed?.

He took his place in the king's bedchamber..

Enjoyed a full-fledged staycation.

Coincidentally, there was no shortage of food in the Demon Dragon Cave..

huge cavity in the center.

A passageway extends in all directions like a spider web around that place..

No matter which passage you went through, there were lots of sweet potatoes growing in the dirt on the floor..

It was even an extra-large sweet potato, as big as a basketball..

“Hey, let's bake..”

“…….”

“What are you doing? Hurry up and don’t start a fire.”

“…….”

Lloyd grunted as he carried five huge chunks of sweet potatoes..

Javiel looked at Lloyd like that in bewilderment..

he asked.

“That seems to be a rare crop from the Demon Dragon Cave. Can I just grill it and eat it??”

“Oh, it will work.”

“how do you know that.”

“I asked the manticore.”

Lloyd responded calmly..

It was really.

I wonder if I might incur the wrath of the Dragon King Berkis by digging up sweet potatoes..

Feeling like he was pounding on a stone bridge, he went to see the manticore..

I asked outright.

Can I eat some of the sweet potatoes that are filling every aisle here?.

The Manticore's reply was a cool 'YES'..

“Cologne! He answered.”

“……Are you sure the answer was positive??”

“uh. I nodded and cologged..”

“Did you get permission?.”

“yes. So, while I was grateful, I also introduced Podong..”

“Do you mean Lord Podong??”

“uh. At first, the manticore tilted its head. Then, when Podong grew bigger after eating red sunflower seeds, he was very happy..”

“I guess so. Because they are similar in size.”

“I think so. Fortunately, Podong quickly became friends with the manticore..”

“Are you two playing together now??”

“uh. They must be playing tag. By the way, don’t you light a fire??”

“…….”

“Let's do it quickly. hungry.”

“…….”

Suddenly, the iron-blooded knight who saved the world in the novel ended up roasting sweet potatoes with soot on his face..

Just like that, Lloyd rolled around for days and days..

Leaving behind all the hard work and overwork, I just played and rested..

It was comfortable.

It was fun.

happy.

Meanwhile, Javiel sometimes observed Lloyd with a strange gaze..

“…….”

It's already been ten days since I came to the Demon Dragon Cave..

After watching it for so long, I finally feel a little more reality..

As expected, Lloyd in front of me is not real..

He really was a person from another world..

‘That's why. It seemed like the person had suddenly changed.’

I remembered a morning a few years ago.

Lloyd Frontera was drunk and acting out just the day before..

But when morning came, he acted like a completely different person..

It was strange.

But it passed.

Because it was a welcome change..

‘I understand now. The meaning of the name Kim Su-ho that the King of Hell used to call that person.’

Suho Kim.

This is probably the name that fake Lloyd originally had in the world..

Then, the unexpected appearances that person has shown so far are also.

Amazing construction knowledge that was often revealed.

They must have all been things learned in that world..

I finally felt like I knew.

Now I understand.

On the other hand, there were some things that made me a little curious..

‘That fake Lloyd... … How would you react if you found out I knew the truth?.’

Should I be shameless like always?.

Or will I be afraid of this side?.

When that day comes, how will I deal with that fake?.

I couldn't figure it out.

But one thing was certain.

‘As long as you don't lose who you are now, I will stay by your side until the end..’

A faint warmth appeared in Javiel's eyes as he looked at Lloyd..

Lloyd tilted his head at those eyes..

“Hey, what are you thinking??”

“yes?”

“I felt something about the way you were looking at me just now.?”

“…….”

“Be honest. You discovered something more delicious than sweet potatoes and are hiding it, right? yes?”

“no.”

“really?”

“yes.”

To be honest, I have something to hide..

But I plan to keep hiding it for the time being..

Thinking like that, Javiel chuckled..

A bitter smile spread across Lloyd's lips..

“Then, let’s quickly roast the sweet potatoes. hungry.”

“All right.”

Javiel's hands have become more diligent when baking sweet potatoes..

The day was passing by for two people enjoying a long-awaited vacation..

and same time.

In one corner of the Demon Dragon Cave.

The Dragon King, who was sleeping soundly, opened his eyes with a sudden sense of crisis..

♣

“……omg?”

Dragon King Berkis opened his eyes..

The position I was sleeping in for a long time was uncomfortable.?

Or the gently fanning breeze disappears?

It wasn't all.

The bed was comfortable.

It didn't matter if there was no breeze.

But why did he suddenly wake up with a sense of crisis?.

it was simple.

‘There was chaos. I forgot the most important thing.’

A promise I had forgotten came to mind belatedly..

It was a promise I made to my lovely wife..

‘……I decided to contact you every day!’

I forgot it.

never did it.

So since when?

‘I don't know. How long have I been in a half-asleep state??’

Berkis searched for memories..

At least before I fell into a half-asleep state..

That day, my wife went out into the world outside the Demon Dragon Cave..

It was for a filial piety trip with her mother-in-law, Yeom Hwa-ryong..

‘I'm going to travel for about a year. In the meantime, I wake up every morning and make sure to contact you. I prayed and went..’

It was homework, so to speak..

But I completely forgot about it..

Berkis felt the 2nd atrium and 2nd ventricle becoming firm..

I immediately raised my hands.

A magic circle was formed in the air..

It was an advanced communication magic that would allow you to immediately contact your wife, no matter where she was in the world, even if you didn't know her coordinates..

Shaaaaa……!

The magic circle rotated in the air and tracked my wife’s coordinates. An attempt was made to connect. and failed.

Pachit!

The communication magic circle disappeared in the air along with a spark..

Communication had failed..

Berkis could see why..

“……I declined to receive it.”

My wife was upset.

This is really crazy.

‘What do we do?’

Berkis’ head spun..

My wife is so kind and kind that she never gets upset..

Judging from the fact that he even refuses to contact me like this, I guess he's really angry this time..

So how should we handle this situation?.

‘Should I run right away and beg for everything? no. it's so annoying.’

Running a long way was tiresome..

To do that, you would have to move a lot of muscles..

It was necessary to mobilize a huge amount of mana and even move through space..

But it was so annoying.

‘then what should i do?’

How can I make up for my homework and appease my wife with the least amount of effort?.

“Ugh. Think about it. think.”

Dragon King Berkis held his head with both hands..

I entered into intense worry..

But that was then..

While he is so caught up in his worries that he doesn't realize it..

Someone came creeping up from behind.

And Taeyeon shamelessly asked.

“Oh my, Dragon King? Did you have any concerns??”

As soon as the man realized that the Dragon King had awakened, he ran towards me with his nostril hairs fluttering..

Meanwhile, the man rubs his palms together to manage his first impression score..

A man who shamelessly uses all kinds of flattering comments on his spit-covered tongue..

Lloyd suddenly appeared and was flashing a sweet smile reminiscent of an insurance fraudster towards Berkis..
