History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 274
274fury. a shameless request (2)
“Please allow me to uproot Your Royal Highness by the roots..”
“……what?”
Wide-eyed.
A voice asking back as if trying to find something lost.
Lloyd remained calm in the face of the king's reaction..
On the other hand, I suddenly remembered something that happened fifteen days ago..
‘At that time, I was also embarrassed..’
Was it after resolving the Kraken's critical condition?.
Thanks to you, I obtained the blueprint for Aotearoa, the Jewel of Truth..
I think we can restore the jewel right away..
It was a truly exciting moment..
I had to face an unexpected tackle(?).
‘It is said that the gem can function properly only by gathering key materials scattered all over the world..’
And the jewel blueprint kindly informed me..
Tauranga, the key material for the base of the jewel, is said to be located here, in the royal capital of Magenta..
It is said to be used as a powerful ingredient for magenta..
I need to pull it out.
That's why.
‘I quickly finished work there and ran all the way here… … No, it flew in.’
I remembered the events leading up to coming here..
Thanks to solving Kraken's emergency situation..
Thanks to actually discovering the foundation of the jewel that was thought to be a legend from the mythical era..
I received a lot of recognition from the mermaids..
He suddenly became a star.
Wherever I went, mermaids cheered..
He even received official praise from the Mermaid Queen..
By riding that momentum(?), I gained a lot of things..
It was a lifetime guaranteed access to the mermaid kingdom..
‘Instead, the management of the sauna had to be handed over to the Mermaid Queen..’
Still, it wasn't a waste of money.
It was originally a jjimjilbang created and operated to attract personnel for gem excavation work..
But now that I have found the jewel?
Even if I had the right to operate it, it was obvious that there would be so many things to worry about, such as management and repair, that it would hold me back..
It would be better to manage your image by handing it over in a big way when you are in a good mood like this..
There was a sharp angle that it would be much more beneficial..
Anyway, if you want to do jewel restoration work later,?
Because we'll have to get help from mermaids..
Because then we will have to use mermaids as laborers again..
Score a lot of points in advance when you have the chance.
I was convinced that it would be much more beneficial..
So I generously handed it over as if I was donating it..
Of course, it received applause from the mermaid society..
‘As a bonus, I became an honorary citizen of the Mermaid Kingdom. He also gained permission to enter and exit the mermaid kingdom without any restrictions for the rest of his life. The magic necklace that protects your body in the deep sea environment is not only a basic option, but you can also become a VVIP member at the sauna..’
That wasn't all.
The mermaid race and affinity system have been completely opened up..
It was like being able to freely increase favorability with the mermaids of this world and receive RP..
‘Well, I should say that I have become a friend to all mermaids..’
Thanks to this, we have been promised full support during future restoration work on the Jewel of Truth..
I didn't really hear anything about helping in the restoration of the ruined mermaid city..
VIPs don't have to do that..
They'll take care of it themselves.
So I told you not to worry about it?.
‘Anyway, I got everything I got from it..’
That's how I left the mermaid kingdom..
I was escorted by the Mermaid Queen..
Thanks to the Mermaid Queen's incredible swimming speed, she was able to escape the Arctic Ocean in an instant and reach the vicinity of Cremo Port..
Coincidentally, we were able to encounter the Peliconia off the coast there..
There, I paid the entire balance for the Peliconia cruise..
I took off on the Komingi and said goodbye to the people of the Peliconia..
It immediately flew here, to the royal capital Magenta..
As soon as I arrived in Magenta, I came to the royal castle..
Requested an audience with the king.
That was Lloyd's journey over the past fortnight..
‘Whoa. But, ugh. It's good that we came this far, but the King's sister's eyes are no joke..’
Lloyd's appetite was sore..
King Alicia looking at herself.
Her eyes weren't funny.
I was puzzled at first, but then.
Now he was looking this way with a straight face..
It wasn't too much of a stretch..
‘This is outright, ‘Your Highness! Please allow me to draw royal power just once!' Because it was said that.’
If I keep doing this, won’t I get caught by the collar?.
Or maybe the solar plexus is being ripped out properly?.
As usual, it was a time when anxiety began to creep in..
“Phew. You're always like this.”
King Alicia burst out laughing..
“It's really nasty. How can I embarrass Jim like this every time? But the request you just made, of course it wasn't a joke.?”
“Yes, I do..”
“I ask for permission to pick Jim’s royal castle.?”
“That's right, Your Majesty..”
Lloyd did not deny it..
Now is the moment when a direct ball game is needed..
At the same time, the king was also openly asking about our intentions..
“It's not an ordinary house or building, but they ask for permission to select a royal castle. Of course, there must be a reason behind such an enormous request that Jim can agree with.?”
“Yes, of course.”
“Say it.”
“This is because an ancient object called Tauranga was used as material for the royal castle..”
“So?”
“I'm here to get that stuff..”
“What are you trying to get it for??”
“Although I cannot reveal the purpose in detail right now. However, I can confidently say with confidence that this matter will never cause harm to Your Majesty or the royal family..”
Lloyd answered seriously..
It was honestly sincere..
‘This isn't really an attempt to harm the king or the royal family. Rather, it's the opposite. It will be helping the royal family. The King will also become a victim of the restoration of fate phenomenon..’
Suddenly, I remembered the future I glimpsed through the ending spoiler..
In that future, the king loses feeling in his left arm..
His arm is not cut off like in the original Iron-Blooded Knight, but instead he experiences restoration of fate and suffers from paralysis of his left arm..
It's just that there's an arm attached, so it's as if it doesn't exist..
‘Especially since the king is a sword master. For a sword wielder to lose one of his arms... … It's terrible. It's something that can't be easily made up for..’
To prevent such a tragedy.
We have to get Tauranga..
To do so, we must select the royal castle..
Lloyd expressed his true feelings..
However, it was not possible to explain in detail the phenomenon of restoration of fate or the story surrounding it..
To do that, you would have to bring up your identity, another dimension, Korea, and even the story of the novel, Iron-Blooded Knight..
‘If I'm going to explain this without going into detail, I'll keep this part vague. Instead, just let my sincerity be heard. All you have to do is create an atmosphere so that the king will believe it..’
Lloyd thought so..
believed.
Because the king is a great person.
Because he is a much smarter person than me, who only knows a little bit about the future..
I decided to trust the quick-witted political sense of the king..
And the king responded exactly to Lloyd's beliefs..
“under.”
A smile forms on her lips.
Soon the smile turned bitter..
“You really are You are an extremely nasty person..”
“I apologize..”
“no. I can't help but believe you. Anyway, if you put your mind to it, there will be many, many ways to harm me and the royal family. He wouldn't even need to come and ask for my luggage in such a complicated and difficult way. How can I not believe your boasts?.”
Alicia said self-deprecatingly..
I really have no choice but to believe this.
It was actually a very simple matter, she thought..
‘Lloyd Frontera. Because the author has already gained power beyond Jim's control..’
It was really.
A very powerful bone dragon.
Grand Master Javiel.
Two beings were following Lloyd..
That wasn't all.
‘Steel Sand Orc Tribe.’
The King recalled what he had received from the informant..
Orc tribes pose a potential threat to the Eastern Wastes..
A barbarian tribe where each and every warrior is nothing short of powerful force..
It was said that the tribe had a blood alliance with the Frontera family..
Becoming a member of the Orc clan means being recognized as a member and brother of the Orc race..
In other words, it was possible that a coalition of orc tribes from all over the world might take up arms and go into battle at the request of the Frontera family..
‘Bone Dragon. Lord Asrahan. Orc tribe. With just the combination of those three, the power of the Count Frontera family has already surpassed that of the royal family. No, if you put your mind to it, it would be easily possible to establish a dynasty right away..’
However, if Lloyd decides to harm himself or the royal family,?
I thought there was no need to use such a complicated method..
Coming to you in trouble.
Making a lame request.
There was no need to do that; all you had to do was wield your power..
‘So it would be better to trust the author's intention in making the request now..’
If you already trust it, it's cool and uncluttered..
Just in case, don't show it off..
That seemed like a way to further strengthen the trust relationship with Lloyd..
He calculated that it would be of political benefit to himself and the royal family..
After organizing his thoughts, King Alicia spoke..
“good night. Jim has always had faith in your loyalty, and that will not change this time either..”
“I am truly devastated, Your Majesty..”
“Tsk. What is his last name? I always look for it only when I feel sad..”
“I truly apologize, Your Majesty..”
“He only looks for regret when he has nothing to say..”
“…….”
“Don't look so embarrassed. Wasn't it because of your request that I, too, was chosen to be a healthy king? I just hope that your prosperity will not be damaged as much as possible during your work..”
“Of course it comes. We will do the construction with utmost care to avoid any unnecessary damage..”
“The necessary damage will occur. Is it right??”
“…….”
“Okay. Since I have already granted your request, do you not understand the extent of it? We will inform the outside world that the regular maintenance of the royal castle is being carried out using a special method, so please make sure you know that..”
“I understand, Your Majesty..”
“But before that.”
Lloyd trying to show respect.
The king stopped Lloyd like that..
she asked with sharp eyes.
“Jim thinks we've only talked about half of the main topic. what are your thoughts?”
“Ah, are you asking about a solution to your concerns??”
“It is true.”
“Would you like to hear more details here and now??”
“of course. Say it.”
“Yes, then could you please lend me your ear?.”
“come closer.”
Alicia's permission was granted..
Lloyd cautiously approached her desk..
I leaned my upper body over the desk and whispered in my lowest voice..
A whisper from his quill penetrated into King Alicia's ear..
“So, here goes… … Whisper whisper… … In order to save the royal family's face, which was lost because of the Bone Dragon at the last banquet... … blah blah… … We're going to have to create a pretty shocking situation... … Know the Miju… … Your Majesty, even if there is opposition from those around you... … Chatter chatter… … If you do this, everything will be solved... … Blah blah…….”
Lloyd diligently emptied his bag of tricks..
I used my tongue with all my heart..
Meanwhile, King Alicia's eyes changed..
“…….”
Why are there all these crazy people?.
I looked at him in confusion..
But even for a moment.
Following her concerns, a quick decision was made..
“good night. Just implement it..”
“Truly, Seong-eun is devastated..”
Lloyd's smile, confident of success, spread throughout the King's office..
♣
15 days have passed.
Meanwhile, the Magentano royal family was in trouble every day..
Termina Garden, which has been diligently restored and reorganized over the past few months..
This was because a banquet was prepared to commemorate the re-completion of the garden..
“Tsk tsk. What difference will it make if we hold an event like this?.”
“That's right. Hehehe.”
Finally, on the evening of the banquet.
The carriages of diplomatic ambassadors and important figures from various countries residing in the royal capital Magenta arrived at the park one after another..
However, the expressions on the guests' faces as they got off the carriage were subtle..
To be precise, there was a faint sneer on their lips..
It was a mockery directed at the Magentano royal family..
“This is something we only talk about between us. The Magentano royal family. It seems like they've been flaunting their power by recently increasing their military budget, but doesn't it seem like they're secretly lacking in substance??”
“What do you mean, Ambassador??”
“Shh. Lower your voice. How long have you been my assistant??”
“It's been about two years.”
“Tsk. So you probably don't understand what I mean. Listen carefully. What if I were King Alicia? If we had experienced an incident like the last Bone Dragon rampage, we wouldn't have held a banquet like this. Instead, they would have staged a large-scale military parade..”
“You mean military parade??”
“okay. I'm talking about the last Bond Dragon rampage. How helpless the Magentano royal family looked at that time. Moreover, everyone who attended the banquet saw it in detail. So that's what I'm talking about. What should we do if we increase our military power? In times like this, you should use it. I have to show my strength in front of people..”
“Are you saying that this will help establish the authority of the Magentano royal family, which was undermined by the last incident??”
“yes. That's it. Nothing can be changed with a fluttery banquet like this. But the event planned just to save face as a member of the royal family is a banquet that is no different from the last time. Tsk tsk. What would you do if you had great power? While I can't find anything practical. Isn’t that right??”
“Ah, yes. It seems so.”
The mockery of a diplomatic ambassador from a neighboring country.
Aide agrees with him.
It wasn't just the two people who looked like that..
Today, diplomats and guests from almost all countries attending the banquet were sharing similar thoughts..
A banquet like this won't make up for anything..
Rather, it will only bring about ridicule from various countries..
But King Alicia doesn't seem to know that..
Is it possible that her political sense is not as good as it used to be?.
We all laugh together.
Most people express doubts.
The Magentano royal family, who held today's banquet, was undervalued..
That's why they never dreamed.
In the forest, the king's private hunting ground, a few kilometers away from the banquet hall..
In the darkness of that dense forest, the very shocking and special host who will shine today's event is fully prepared at Lloyd's request..
“So, you have to do well today. Understand?”
Creak!
Bone Dragon wearing an extra large bow tie and tuxedo.
Yongyong made a great determination as he prepared to welcome a grand guest..
