History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 298
298fury. colosseum effect (3)
The circuit-type Colosseum was finally completed..
Straight track for ultra-short, short and medium distances.
A complex track with 19 corners..
The centaur chieftain, Cherokan, tilted his head at the unfamiliar and strange appearance..
“Hmm, is this the Colosseum you were talking about??”
“yes.”
“Tsk, that’s weird..”
“Is that so.”
Lloyd smiled bitterly..
I built the entire Colosseum, but the warchief's reaction was sour.?
It wasn't.
It was such an expected reaction that I couldn't help but smile bitterly..
‘Well, if you think about it, this reaction is natural. Just because they built something unfamiliar, does that mean, oh oh, is this a Colosseum? How funny would it be if you did something like this?.’
It really is..
Modern technology is not unconditionally omnipotent..
Besides, the centaur race isn't stupid either..
So from now on, they will have to judge and evaluate the value of the Colosseum they worked so hard to build..
Lloyd thought so and said.
“Then, Warchief, would you like to run for a test??”
“what? Do you mean me??”
“yes. Aren't you the representative of the Centaur race of the Great Plains? I think the great chief should definitely enjoy the honor of running on the track of the first circuit-type coliseum in history..”
“Heh heh, heh heh?”
“This is my simple sincerity. Now, come this way..”
Flattery and flattery naturally poked through the cracks..
The corner of the warchief's mouth twitched at the surprise attack..
Lloyd did not miss the opportunity and guided the Warchief to the track..
“Well, as you can see, the tracks are divided into a total of 5. There are three straight tracks for drag racing, each measuring 300 meters, 800 meters and 1.5 kilometers in length. There are also two combined tracks consisting of sections of 2.577 kilometers and 1.3 kilometers..”
“Hmm, then I'll just try running an 800 meter straight track..”
“This is an excellent choice..”
Even though they were old, centaurs seemed to be a running race..
As soon as he got on the track, the warchief's eyes changed slightly..
Eventually, the old man’s race began..
“Krya!”
Doo doo doo doo!
A former champion who shows full acceleration right from the start.!
The Great Chief passed the finish line in an instant, explosively scattering the sand that covered the track. I took a breath and returned to the starting line..
However, the returning warchief's expression was completely different from before..
“her… … haha! This, this track, this is real shit?”
“Is that so?”
“Ha, it really is. This, really, huh, really!”
Is it so good that I am at a loss for words when I run it myself?.
The warchief was satisfied for a while and then said:.
“It’s completely different from running on an unorganized plain. On the plains, you have to be careful not to break your hooves on invisible rocks. You could get your ankle caught in a strong bush and lose your balance. But what about here? Since there are no such risk factors, I can focus entirely on running..”
“How did the track feel??”
“It's the best.”
The warchief gave a thumbs up..
“I thought it would just sink in because it was covered with sand, but that wasn't the case. A layer of sand absorbs the shock of the hoof comfortably, and then you can feel the solid floor supporting the hoof from underneath. Thanks to this, I was able to relieve the burden on my joints without losing any of my driving force to kick off the ground..”
“So do you think your records are getting better??”
“Needless to say. But hey, is there anything else left to ask??”
“yes?”
“I want to run a little more.”
“Ah, yes.”
“Then I'll be back. This time it’s a combined course.!”
“…….”
The excited warchief rushed towards the complex course before anyone could catch him..
He showed off his former dignity by sweating like foam all day long..
Thanks to this, news about the Colosseum spread widely among the Chardolbaram tribesmen..
“Hey, did you hear? Warchief!.”
“Um, why did the warchief?”
“Well, I heard you broke the old record.?”
“what? At that age? really?”
“uh. really.”
“how?”
“How long. There is a Colosseum built by the human Lloyd Frontera, right?.”
“No way, run from there?”
“They say so?”
“Nonsense.”
“It's amazing because it makes sense..”
“Well, then shall we go and run too??”
……It was like that..
Everyone expressed their desire to set a new record..
Most of the tribesmen flocked to the Colosseum..
Lloyd didn't bother to stop their procession..
I briefly considered charging an entrance fee, but decided to leave it at that..
‘Because this is a trial period.’
The game also has an open beta test..
Just like movies have promotional teaser videos,.
I thought that I would have to experience the circuit track and run it to understand its true value..
‘You have to run it yourself and feel the benefits of the track. That's how it gets promoted..’
In order for all centaurs on the Great Plains to use the Colosseum in the future, the advantages of the Colosseum must be promoted to everyone..
But now, I am grateful that the Chardolbaram tribesmen are flocking in on their own..
This was because through their words, the Colosseum would be promoted throughout the Great Plains..
So, the track was open to anyone to run for five days..
And from the sixth day, the rules were announced..
[Starting today, the Colosseum track will operate on a reservation basis..]
[Minimum number of reservations: 2 people]
[Reservation Eligibility: Participant in competition for marriage proposal]
[How to make a reservation: Apply at the Colosseum management office. Complete your reservation by stamping the document with your name, race date and time, and track to be used..]
[Precautions when using the track: Do not hit with a knife for less than 6 seconds from 0-100]
……A sign was erected at the entrance to the Colosseum..
Nevertheless, surprisingly, there was not much opposition from the Centaur tribesmen..
This was thanks to the constant publicity that the Colosseum was being built solely for the purpose of marriage proposal matches..
And from the next day.
The wave of reservations exploded..
‘Whoa, this… … Is it true? No, is it really true that there are crazy people who divorce and then propose marriage just because they want to run on the track?.’
Lloyd stuck his tongue out..
It had to be that way..
The Centaur race was a race that was much more into running than expected..
Just because of the desire to run on the track.
Centaurs are getting divorced one after another..
And he immediately proposed marriage to his ex-spouse from whom he had just divorced..
I nominated a suitable challenger(?), made a match, and quickly made a reservation..
‘Well, anyway, I'm not interested in their love and war..’
Anyway, that was none of our business..
So Lloyd ran the Colosseum, strictly focusing on the rules..
The marriage proposal match is only held at the Colosseum..
Do not run faster than a trot within the village..
Another 15 days passed while the rule was followed..
Slowly I started to see changes.
Driving accidents within the village have decreased noticeably..
The number of cases of broken legs or serious injuries during marriage proposal matches has decreased..
Intense competition only on the track.
Be quiet in the living area.
It was an amazing change brought about by two simple rules..
In addition, it was also a result that proved the purpose of the solution to the problem that Lloyd originally presented to the Warchief..
Thanks to this, additional changes occurred in centaur society..
It was a fundamental change in the concept of running..
“Run only where you need to run, and do not cause any inconvenience or damage to those around you. I came to think that that was the attitude of a true runner. Me and my tribesmen too..”
“Is that so.”
“yes.”
The stable I visited after being called.
There, the warchief welcomed us with a happy smile..
“It's all thanks to you. Thanks to the Colosseum and the facilities you built, everyone's thoughts changed. The number of unfortunate accidents that occurred due to marriage proposal matches has decreased surprisingly..”
“It's not thanks to me, it's thanks to everyone's cooperation..”
“haha. You speak really well. Anyway, now it's my turn to keep my promise to you..”
“Would you like to tell me the location of Taupo?.”
“That's it.”
Taupo, the second core material of the Jewel of Truth.
The moment has finally come to find out the whereabouts of the material..
Lloyd perked up his ears..
The warchief's mouth opened..
“Taupo, brought by our distant ancestors, is made up of a total of 16 chunks. They all rest atop the snowy mountains north of the Great Plains..”
“The top of the snow mountain?”
“That's right. If you fly over on your big bone dragon, you won't have much trouble finding it. It will be placed in a very visible place..”
The warchief handed over a piece of parchment..
When I opened it, it was a map..
The northern snow mountain, top terrain, and the location of Taupo were marked..
“thank you.”
Lloyd quickly grabbed the map..
It was that moment.
Ding dong.
As if I had been waiting.
A welcome message appeared before my eyes..
[Race open]
[Centaur Warchief Cherokan has recognized you as a true friend and ally..]
[Thanks to the circuit-type Colosseum you provided, the Centaur race has a new awareness and concept of safe driving..]
[They will continue to improve their awareness of safe driving and will establish the first driving traffic law, which will be a turning point in the history of the race..]
[The first traffic laws will be based on the rules you promulgated, and in the process, your name will go down in the history of the Centaur race as a decisive contributor to the traffic laws..]
[Now the Centaur race sees you as an equal in friendship..]
[You can increase your affinity with Centaurs and earn RP..]
[100 RP will be given as a special race opening bonus..]
[RP you currently own : 1,755]
‘Whoa.’
Lloyd secretly clenched his fists..
‘I did it.’
Whereabouts of the second key material originally targeted?.
As a bonus, I gained the favor of the Centaur race..
Finally, the feeling of accomplishment of having accomplished everything arose..
‘It was really long, it was long..’
Suddenly, I remembered what happened a few months ago when I came here to the Great Plains..
Getting my first red speeding ticket.
Running a race with the champion of the Great Plains.
From then on, construction of the Colosseum took seven months..
In addition, we had to verify the effectiveness of the Colosseum for nearly an additional month..
It was only to find out the location of the second key material, Taupo..
‘Of course, thanks to time freezing, not even a second has actually passed..’
I felt fortunate inside..
At the same time, I thought that it was time to turn off the time freeze..
‘The northern snowy mountain that the warchief just mentioned is an area where time is frozen anyway. If you want to go there, you'll have to turn off the time freeze option..’
Now I'm done here.
There was no reason to hesitate any longer..
“Thank you for this, Warchief. Then, let me give you a service..”
“service?”
“yes.”
Lloyd smiled and nodded..
After all, everything must have a beautiful ending.
No matter how hard you worked.
No matter how much favor I gave you.
If the ending is unpleasant and leaves you in a bad mood, isn't all the good progress you've had so far going to fade?.
‘So, you have to finish well. That way, if I have regrets later, I can come back and open my hands..’
Life is long and you never know what's going to happen.
Investing in human relationships for the future is always right.
With that in mind, Lloyd borrowed the Warchief's ear..
Taught me how to manage the Colosseum track.
“……So, if you do this or that, you can cook it. If that doesn't work, you can request repairs at the Frontera territory in the eastern part of the Magentano Kingdom..”
“Frontera Territory?”
“Yes, that's my house.”
He taught me how to manage the track well..
I shook hands firmly with the warchief and left the stable..
I looked up at the sky.
I saw a wall of ice that looked like an upside down bowl of rice..
Time stopped and the sky remained unchanged for a total of 8 months..
I could also see the sun that was stuck in the same spot in the center..
‘I can't believe I did such a ridiculous thing..’
Even when I thought about it, I couldn't quite believe it..
I swallowed the strange feeling and opened the skill window..
Preparations were made to end the time freeze..
But that was then..
‘uh?’
Lloyd narrowed his eyes unconsciously..
‘Something strange... … It's coming?’
It's not that it wasn't, it really was that way.
This way from outside the ice wall.
something was flying.
Like falling with your back to the sun.
It seems like it's falling towards this direction.
spread your wings back.
Heavy body trembles.
crashed into a wall of ice.
Kwachajak!
A large crack appeared in the ice wall..
Soon a crack widened..
A huge head popped out through the crack..
A bigger and whiter silhouette than the Bone Dragon Yongyongi..
A pair of coldly shining eyes beneath two massive horns.
Those eyes looked straight at me.
‘Dragon?’
The moment Lloyd's eyes widen with startled realization..
The dragon asked a frosty question.
“Human, you have the heart of winter. Am I right?”
“……!”
My heart is pounding.
Lloyd's shoulders suddenly flinched..
A being who flew all the way here to retrieve the Heart of Winter..
An overwhelming dragon that was once called the tyrant of the polar region..
The moment I encountered Bingryong Tyranus and received an unexpected question..
The moment I suddenly sensed a full-blown crisis.
Lloyd instinctively placed an iron plate all over his face..
I wet my tongue..
with a straight face.
With a tone that everyone can't help but believe when they hear it.
‘With natural acting skills that will make you feel sorry and say, ‘Oh, I misidentified the person and asked a vague question.’.
I responded shamelessly.
“It's not?”
