History of the Greatest Estate Design - Episode 291
291fury. Reckless driving is bad. (2)
“How about building a circuit-type coliseum for racing purposes??”
“……what?”
Lloyd's proposal came with a shy smile..
Warchief Cherokan tilted his head..
It was a strange opinion..
It was an unfamiliar suggestion..
“The Colosseum. A circuit for racing purposes. What on earth is that??”
“To put it simply, we are talking about a dedicated stadium for speed competitions..”
“Stadium? A stadium for running competitions??”
“yes.”
Lloyd nodded..
done.
That warchief, I was intrigued at first..
Showed at least as much curiosity as necessary..
When you react like this, you need to row properly..
Lloyd caught the timing and quickly flicked his tongue..
“It is a space dedicated to running where everyone can watch people run in the utmost comfort and safety. It is a place where you can run freely without any interference..”
“Hmm. It's a stadium, a space dedicated to running. Are you trying to tell me that it can solve my problems??”
“yes.”
“why? how?”
Wrinkles appeared between the Warchief's brows..
Lloyd said while reinforcing the iron plate covering his face with triple embossing..
“The Warchief said. I'm worried that young people these days run too recklessly. Didn't you say that accidents, big and small, occur frequently while making a marriage proposal, while competing, or while driving at high speeds?.”
“It did.”
“Yes, that's why. He said it was a pity that young people with bright futures in this prairies were killed or seriously injured and maimed because of such big and small accidents, ruining their precious lives. By the way. What would happen if young centaurs could only run freely in a special stadium??”
“Hmm, it means that accidents will be relatively reduced since sprinting will only be done in places where safety is guaranteed. Am I right?”
“yes, that's right.”
“But that seems like a somewhat flawed opinion..”
“Do you see any loopholes??”
“As you probably know, our species lives by sprinting wherever it takes us. But if you build a dedicated stadium, will you just run there? No. Even if there is a stadium, we will still compete, get competitive, and run anywhere. Since we are a species that cannot see anyone running ahead of them in the first place, we.”
“Yes, I know. That's why we need rules.”
“rule?”
“yes.”
“What rules are you talking about??”
The warchief's eyes became sharp..
Lloyd answered as if it were obvious..
“Speed regulation depending on location.”
“speed regulation?”
“yes. It's a simple regulation. Do not run at a tempo higher than Trot within the village area. In other grasslands, you can run as you like. All you have to do is keep it.”
“But there's a problem with that too.”
“If it's a problem?”
“If sprinting on the grassland is allowed, isn't there a need for a running stadium in the first place?.”
“Yes, I guess so. But just one more rule will solve that problem..”
“what rules?”
“The circuit-type Colosseum is designated as an exclusive venue for marriage proposals..”
“……Are you saying that the running race for marriage proposals should only be held there??”
“yes. That's an accurate summary..”
good night. It's slowly coming over.
Now is the time to get to the heart of this opinion..
Lloyd flicked his tongue even more vigorously..
“Because the match for the marriage proposal is the most dangerous. Didn’t the Warchief do the same when he was young??”
“Hmm, now that I think about it… … that's right. I think so. It was exactly like that when I proposed. I was burned with a competitive spirit that was incomparable to usual. So much so that there is nothing visible. Thanks to giving my all and running, I won and succeeded in proposing marriage..”
“also. That's it. That's why it's dangerous.”
That's it..
Lloyd thought.
‘That's the way it is. Whether it's a human or a centaur, it's all the same..’
competition for marriage proposal.
It was inevitable that the running would become more intense than other times..
It was a simple problem, considering that there is a fight or friction with the table next to you at a drinking party..
‘Actually, I've seen something like that often in Korea as well. What if there is a fight between men at a table? Unless the truth is at stake, surprisingly, there are many cases where things get along well with each other. Unless you're someone who likes to fight, it's burdensome and unpleasant for everyone to clash and collide unnecessarily. But there are exceptions to that too..’
It was a mixed table for both men and women..
Or if your girlfriend was with you..
‘In that case, the probability that the fight will escalate is quite high..’
Men’s unique psychology is triggered.
I don't want to look weak in front of my woman..
The probability of using useless Gao(?) like that increases..
Make less concessions.
Considering compromise as defeat.
There are cases where stubbornness becomes more extreme..
In the end, the atmosphere becomes difficult because of the unwillingness to step down..
‘That's really childish and funny. In hindsight, it's a behavior and attitude that makes you wonder why they did such a crazy thing..’
In reality, things like that used to happen secretly..
At least that's what Lloyd thought back..
‘A truly wonderful man is one who deals wisely with such situations and maintains his senses. But it's not that easy. So what about the centaurs here? It will be similar. That's because it was mentioned in the novel The Knight of Iron Blood. Their race to propose is more extreme than ever..’
I remembered the contents of the novel.
It was a short explanation about the centaur race here..
A race that originally loved speed and running..
When those people enter competition mode for marriage proposals,?
He said he would run at any cost more than ever before..
Just to win.
To get married with the person you want.
Have you often said that you risk your life to run?.
‘If you think about it, it might be so. I would do the same if I were a centaur. There's a girl I'm having a relationship with. She wants to date that girl and get married. what? Do you have competition? But if you run faster than that guy and win, you can date and marry a hot girl? then? Of course it's running like crazy. Regardless of back and forth. To win no matter what.’
I run with energy.
Regardless of means or methods.
I don't care about the place or anything.
I run like crazy, only looking ahead..
It puts you and those around you at greater risk..
“That's why. A marriage proposal match that runs even more wildly and recklessly than usual. We create a separate space just for that match. It's a circuit-type coliseum..”
“Does that mean there will be fewer accidents caused by reckless running??”
“yes. That's my opinion. Those who run for their lives will compete in a space separate from others..”
It was a natural story..
This was also the case in modern societies such as Korea..
The roads were not divided into regular roads and highways for no reason..
‘A particularly extreme example of this is in Germany. Autobahn. A road with no speed limit on which people are allowed to run.’
Or, there were places like that in Korea too..
It was a dedicated circuit located in Inje, Gangwon-do..
Did you roughly understand the meaning of this side?.
The wrinkles between the warchief's brows deepened..
“okay. I know what you mean. To get to the point, I guess the idea is to divide the running purposes into each area, right? So, the idea is to create a circuit-type coliseum..”
“Yes, that's it. In the countryside, only at a trot pace, slowly. In the grasslands outside the village, you can freely use trot rhythm, cantor, or gallop. Instead, only the most intense marriage proposal matches take place in the Colosseum..”
“Good. If everyone puts that opinion into practice, I think the number of unfortunate accidents will definitely decrease..”
“I guess so.?”
“I guess so. but… … Will our species properly follow and put those opinions into practice??”
The warchief looking this way.
His eyes became meaningful.
“I really like your opinion. The purpose is great. But I don't think it's realistic. So that's it. Would our species, which naturally loves to run anywhere, easily accept such harsh rules? no. I don't think so.”
“What you're saying is that everyone will choose running over safety..”
“yes.”
The warchief nodded..
“Our desire to run. The desire for speed. Humans probably won't understand that properly. We are that kind of species. They are a race that would rather die than run..”
“Hmm.”
“But for safety reasons, they designate an area where you can't run as much as you want? In particular, it is prohibited to hold impromptu marriage proposal matches anywhere? Probably no centaur youth would follow that rule. Everyone will scoff and ignore or protest. Because their instinctive desire for running and speed is that rough and hot..”
“Hmm.”
“Moreover, this is also a matter of our people's traditions. Since the time of our first ancestors, we have lived freely on this land for generations. So, this is a tradition. But what is your opinion? This is no different from saying we want to change that tradition..”
“Hmmmm.”
“That's why. I like your opinion. But I don't have the confidence to convince the tribesmen to accept that opinion. Because everyone will protest. Because there is no reason to follow it.”
“Hmmmm.”
“……But you've been looking at me with strange eyes for a while now.?”
“Ah, yes. I guess it's because I feel like I'm watching a biker gang trying to make excuses..”
“biker?”
“yes. Well, roughly people like that..”
Lloyd burst out laughing..
A bitter smile came out of me..
It had to be that way..
‘What is this? We're inherently free spirits, so what's the difference between saying we don't care if we die while running?.’
When I listened to the sentiments of the Centaur race that the warchief told me about, it was roughly the same..
‘but. I said it all because they are the ones for whom a speeding ticket is a badge of glory..’
born speeders.
Of course, I wasn't really interested in whether they died or got injured while driving recklessly..
Probably it would have been like that normally.
But not now.
‘The warchief said he would tell me where Taupo is if we create safety measures. So, whether you're a born speeder or something, we need to make it safe..’
Lloyd decided.
I will make the Centaur race safe(?).
So I calculated.
I quickly drew up an estimate..
What you will do from now on.
The reactions and responses of those who will come out.
The big picture and results that will be created step by step.
Finally, after taking all the estimates and measuring the angles, he looked straight into the warchief's eyes..
“Then how about this? If the Warchief is not confident enough to persuade the tribesmen, I will do the convincing for you..”
“Are you? persuade?”
“yes.”
“how?”
“That doesn't matter. Let me ask you just one question. That is, if the tribesmen follow the opinion I gave them. So when you're done with the Colosseum, can you tell me where Taupo is??”
Now is the time to push on..
I asked with firm confidence..
Fortunately, the warchief's troubles did not last long..
“……Good. That persuasion, if you succeed and the tribesmen follow the rules..”
“great. Well, let’s start with this.”
fluttering!
As soon as the warchief nodded, Lloyd took out a piece of paper from his pocket..
Like a spider detecting prey caught in its web.
Or like a snake that has caught its prey of the day..
Without giving the warchief any time to react, he held out a piece of paper..
“This is a piece of paper on which you will write down what you just verbally promised. So, just write two conditional contracts. Mine and the warchief's.”
“……contract? conditional?”
“yes.”
smiled brightly.
said calmly.
“Wouldn't it be better to do something like this for sure? Oh, I'm telling you in advance, I'm not doing this because I don't trust the Warchief. In fact, it's the opposite. If anything, wouldn't I be able to say something different to the warchief later? So, the general idea is to deepen mutual trust and build a healthy and constructive relationship of trust where even in-laws, sisters, and cousins can trust each other and work together..”
“…….”
gulp.
Could it be that I have encountered a fraudster?.
The warchief, who lived a simple life in the steppes, had this thought in his mind without realizing it..
But regardless of his anxiety, Lloyd's summary contract drafting proceeded skillfully at the speed of light..
“Yes, write your name here. Write the date. Signature too. great. Then all you have to do is put a stamp here..”
“…….”
“Oh my gosh, maybe the Jijang was put in the right place. I think a person's personality can only be revealed through a contract. Judging from Jizo's style, it is clear that he is a person who is always thoughtful and meticulous, but also generous and very considerate of those around him, making him popular with people of all ages..”
“Is that so??”
“yes. I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but I'm not sure how I see people..”
“hmm! Hmm! Now that I look at it, it seems like that wasn't wrong. Hehehe.”
“Right? As expected, I saw the warchief properly..”
“Hahaha, thank you!”
“Okay, then I'll just leave. I'll come back and see you once I'm done persuading the tribe members..”
Lloyd woke up with a smile on his face..
I signed the contract and it's done..
I quickly retreated before the warm atmosphere I had worked so hard to create changed..
When I came out of the warchief's stable, Javiel, who was waiting in front, greeted me..
“Are you finished talking?.”
“uh. I roughly heard it?”
“yes.”
Walking side by side here.
Javiel shook his head..
“So I don't really understand. A circuit-type coliseum. I'm going to build it and make it follow safe driving rules..”
“why? Strange?”
“yes. It's strange.”
“what point?”
“It seems to me that no one will follow that rule..”
“Yeah, probably so..”
“…….”
I felt this guy's strange gaze poking at the side of my face..
Eventually, the guy asked a question..
“Probably so. You sound like you predicted everything..”
“huh. I predicted it.”
It's true.
When the construction of a circuit-type Colosseum was proposed,.
Afterwards, while explaining safe driving rules,.
I had thought about how the Centaur race would react..
“Then I guess you have a clever idea in mind..”
“uh.”
“Can I ask about that trick?.”
“uh. It's okay. We will provoke everyone in a wide area with a safe driving campaign..”
“……It's a wide-area provocation.?”
Javiel tilted his head..
Lloyd said sweetly.
“Simply put, it means you're going to piss everyone off..”
