History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 252
252fury. Third ending spoiler (2)
Internet.
A huge communication network encompassing the entire planet.
21The benefits of civilization that everyone living in this century enjoys like air.
Even at this very moment, many people are probably turning on their laptops and smartphones as if it were a given..
Someone for work.
And someone else to study.
Someone else wants entertainment to kill time..
It is a vast Pacific Ocean of information, swimming in its own way..
A space where the majority of people are reborn as turtle-necked dream trees in real time without even realizing it..
That place could be called the Internet..
And now, here, in the study of Prontera Mansion, was a man who greatly missed the glory of Earth's civilization..
“……Sooooo.”
Lloyd rested his chin on the desk, making a sound..
And with a mechanical movement, I opened a new book..
What book is this?.
I don't know.
I'm sure it's over 100 volumes..
‘This is driving me crazy..’
Lloyd shook his head purring and shook off the drowsiness..
And then I looked back at the mountain of books piled up next to me..
I sighed naturally.
‘I've been up all night for three days already and there's still so much left..’
As a rough estimate, there seemed to be 50 books to look at..
Most of them were philosophy books about fate or books related to magic..
Among them were books related to astrology, astronomy, spirits, mythology, and local folk tales..
In other words, Lloyd was picking out and reading all the books that he saw as ending spoilers that might be clues to the future..
‘However, I can't just look at this in detail..’
it was true.
To be honest, I just wanted to flip through the pages and skim through them..
But I couldn't..
The books here were different from those in modern Korea..
Clean typography design, arrangement of paragraphs and page composition, other considerations, etc..
If modern books did not have such readability, they would immediately lose out in sales competition. This was true not only for novels, but also for essays, self-help books, and information magazines..
Therefore, all of them were designed in an easy-to-read manner..
But the books in the study here are?
There was no readability or anything like that..
There was no sophisticated printing technology..
It was just the scribbled handwriting of someone who copied it..
Sometimes, there were books full of fine text that required a magnifying glass..
‘No consideration for readers!’
Moreover, the content was all unfamiliar..
It seemed like it would be easy to miss an important clue if you skipped through the pages..
Thanks(?) Lloyd was forced to read the books here closely..
It was truly exhausting..
‘Internet. I need internet.’
I really missed the glory of civilization that I enjoyed in Korea..
What would it be like if there was internet here on the Laurasia continent?.
The fate of the people here he changed.
A series of accidents occurred as if fate had exerted its power..
It would have been possible to search for such a phenomenon..
No, you could have at least asked on a bulletin board like 'Naver Knowledgein'..
‘That would have been much better than being buried in a book for three days straight. You might have gotten more information or clues..’
widely.
Lloyd closed the book..
When I raised my head, I felt dizzy..
‘I don't think this is a good country..’
Everyone's misfortune seen through ending spoilers.
Find clues to the strange phenomenon in the book?
The idea that this wasn't right grew more and more..
Thinking back on Earth's Internet searches, my conviction became even stronger..
‘This is not something that can be solved simply through hard work. If you do that, it looks like you won't be able to make porridge or rice..’
After researching books for three days, I came to this conclusion..
The reason was simple.
‘one. There are too many books and I don't know which book might have the clue hidden in it. So you have to painstakingly rummage through each one. But when I try to read them all, the search speed is too slow..’
I was locked in the study for three whole days..
It was almost like that, except for the time when I woke up the Dragon King in the morning..
Just in case, I also used my surveying skills on books..
But it didn't work properly.
With the surveying skill, only the paper material, thickness, and area of the book pages could be scanned..
The writing on it was unrecognizable from the measurements..
That's why.
I worked hard for three days, but all I could do was research the contents of about 100 books..
‘But what if we continue to do this in the future? How much more time will it take?.’
Even if I spend every day like this?
By simple calculation, it takes 30 days to research 1,000 books..
It would take as many as 300 days to research 10,000 books.
‘At that level, I guess you could say that they searched through all the related materials in the capital's royal central library..’
But really.
300Taking time to work.
They searched all the royal central libraries in the royal capital..
‘Will I find the information or clues I'm looking for in it??’
wasn't sure.
If data is not available?
300 days worth of time will be wasted..
‘Moreover, even if you are really fortunate enough to find data or clues, there is a problem..’
Data or clues do not end with just discovery..
The information must be collected and analyzed..
It is necessary to cross-verify whether the conclusions drawn from the analysis are correct..
Only then will you be able to find a response based on that conclusion..
‘That's the problem. I'm running out of time.’
Lloyd recalled the diary he saw as an ending spoiler..
Records of misfortune left there.
The first of these, Count Frontera's fall from his horse, would occur only three years later..
‘Find data, analyze, and draw conclusions. Then, about 3 years will pass by quickly. You can't do that. By the time we find a way to respond, incidents will have already started happening. It is too late.’
Lloyd shook his head..
As expected, after calculating it, the answer became clearer..
Researching data through books is truly a waste of time..
It would be too much of a waste of time..
‘We need another way. Don’t do this kind of laborious data research. Oh, it would be really nice to have the Internet. If you post a question like in Knowledgein, the sun gods will answer. How good. Here too, there is a being who gives answers to questions like the sun god... … It was?’
Stop.
Lloyd, who was about to sigh, opened his eyes..
Yes.
Then I saw it and there it was.
When I thought about it, there was.
was even very close!
‘dragon king!’
Lloyd woke up without realizing it..
‘Holy idiot. I can't believe I didn't remember that. The Dragon King might know something about this phenomenon..’
There was a glimpse of possibility.
Come to think of it, besides the Dragon King, there was another being who would serve as his ‘knowledge in’..
‘If the Dragon King cannot provide a satisfactory clue... … I should at least ask the King of Hell..’
Fortunately, I know how to go to hell..
Hellgate opened in the Arctic region.
Just go in there.
After crossing to hell like that, you can fly straight to hell castle..
‘Of course, if you want to get an answer from the King of Hell, you have to offer a high price..’
Maybe you won't be able to get an answer for a considerable price..
So, I thought I would ask Dragon King Berkis first..
At least asking them questions will be free..
‘It's just a little while before dawn comes..’
It was from then on..
Lloyd closed his eyes for a moment..
I rested using the book I was reading as a pillow..
The day soon dawned..
I jumped up.
We headed straight to the separate guest accommodations..
I woke up Dragon King Berkis as usual..
“Hey, Dragon King? It's time to wake up.”
“Hmm?…….”
“If you don't get up, I'll sing..”
“Uh, it happened..”
“We will reduce it. You succeeded in winning the sword prize..”
“……Hmm.”
Berkis barely opened his drowsy eyelids halfway..
I woke up and drew a magic trick in the air..
I sent a communication spell to my wife..
But the result was the same as the previous day.
patchout!
“……under.”
Today again, the reception was rejected..
It seemed like the sulking hadn't gone away yet..
But if you keep trying to communicate like this, it will eventually work out..
Thinking that, Berkis lay down again..
‘Anyway, today's homework is finished.!’
I was excited about that idea..
I covered myself with a blanket with an excited heart..
But it was a strange thing.
“……Why aren't you going??”
Unlike usual, Lloyd Frontera, that human was not leaving..
Usually, when I'm ready for bed like this, I'd sneak out of the room, saying I'd come back tomorrow..
Somehow it wasn't like that today..
Instead of going out, he was looking at people with strange eyes..
“What are you? Why are you looking at me like a puppy that wants to poop?.”
“Hey, may I ask the Dragon King one question??”
“no, no.”
“…….”
“sleep. Grumbling!”
“…….”
Dragon King Berkis falls asleep in 0.1 nanosecond as soon as he finishes speaking..
Lloyd was at a loss for words..
After that, no matter how hard I tried to wake him up, it was no use..
Even if I boldly poke your shoulder.
Even if you dance like a crazy person next to me.
Even if I sing a song.
Dragon King Berkis did not even make a sound of breathing..
But Lloyd couldn't give up easily..
‘of course. If I don't get an answer here, I'll have to go to hell again..’
I felt uncomfortable about going to hell..
This was especially true because the King of Hell is someone who does not know anything for free..
You might have to pay a huge price just to get one clue..
‘If possible, it's better to get help from the Dragon King..’
It was from that day.
Every morning, a fight broke out between Lloyd and Berkis..
“Dragon King! I have something to ask you.!”
“Yeah, see you tomorrow. Grumbling!”
“…….”
The Dragon King who falls asleep refreshingly(?).
But Lloyd didn't give up..
Every time morning comes.
So every time I wake up the Dragon King.
He persistently asked questions.
“Dragon King! Does the original fate, which has changed for some reason, affect current events?!”
“I don't know. I'll see you tomorrow. Grumbling!”
“…….”
Still confused by the question.
Nevertheless, a new morning dawned without fail..
“Dragon King! I'm a guy from another dimension, and I somehow ended up changing the fate of this world.!”
“Yeah, I did.?”
“yes!”
“okay. I'll see you tomorrow. Grumbling!”
“…….”
Another new morning has come.
“Dragon King! It looks like there will be an unfortunate situation where people here who died in the original novel but survived because of me will die one after another.!”
“Yeah, you're amazing..”
“thank you!”
“okay. See you tomorrow then. Grumbling!”
“…….”
As expected, a new morning has dawned.
“Dragon King! Do you remember all the questions I asked so far?!”
“No, I don't know. I'll see you tomorrow. Grumbling!”
“…….”
The planet rotated once without getting tired..
“Dragon King! Now give me the answer!”
“no. I will sleep. I'll see you tomorrow. Grumbling!”
“…….”
Mother Nature's providence has brought morning again.
“Dragon King! If you don't answer today, I'll wake you up with a kiss tomorrow.!”
“You are finally crazy?”
“yes, crazy!”
“…….”
“So, that is. Could you please answer my question??”
“Yeah, no. I have no intention of answering. go back.”
“But aren't you already doing it??”
Lloyd sat close to Berkis' bed..
I looked at the Dragon King earnestly with wide eyes..
Berkis was horrified by that sight..
‘Should I kill this??’
I had that thought for a moment..
I honestly thought this was crazy..
But soon he gave up his life.
Instead, I sighed deeply..
‘Killing is not allowed. Because I decided to get help from this guy. Instead of waking me up every morning, he decided to stay here at the estate. Because that too is a kind of promise..’
So I can't break that promise..
If you break the promise you made with your mouth?
There was a risk of losing the power of the verb..
‘So you can't kill it. Just cover your mouth with magic? no. Then you won't be able to wake me up properly in the morning. Tsk. bothered.’
Berkis felt a serious annoyance..
Lloyd has been asking strange questions for several days now..
I couldn't be this annoying..
But I couldn't continue to ignore it.
If that were the case, this guy wouldn't give up and kept being annoying..
‘I guess I'll just give you some random answer..’
Then that guy will be satisfied and stop asking questions..
I thought it would be better that way.
Berkis asked after reaching a conclusion..
“Tsk. So you came from another dimension.?”
“yes, that's right.”
“This world is like a novel in your dimension.?”
“yes really.”
“okay. There is no need to emphasize anything. Anyway, the dimension you lived in is just a piece of hard disk stored in a warehouse in another dimension..”
“……yes?”
“Why are you freaking out? That's what relationships between dimensions are all about. Anyway, to sum up the questions you've asked so far, you said you came from another dimension and twisted the original fate of this dimension. Am I right?”
“yes, that's right.”
“However, people who were saved from death by that twisted fate will continue to die one after another in the future. I want to prevent that situation. Right?”
“yes, that's it.”
“Well then it's simple.”
Berkis chuckled..
“Have you ever heard of the restoration of fate phenomenon??”
Lloyd's persistence made even the Dragon King of the world raise his hands..
That persistence was finally producing results comparable to Internet knowledge in search..
