History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 301
301fury. Let's make a bet (3)
Ding dong.
[A powerful strike that makes any opponent vomit everything in one blow has been activated..]
A refreshing message filled Lloyd's eyes..
at the same time.
“……Oh my goodness-”
Bingryong grabbed the solar plexus..
I was nauseous and my whole body was shaking..
However, they did not bend down like humans do when doing obi..
Rather, he tilted his body and head back..
I looked up at the sky.
In that state, slurping.
He poured out a dignified obite(?).
Tuhwaaaaaaaak-!
Breath filled with bitter cold was shot into the sky..
The air above froze in an instant..
Moisture in the air experienced rapid condensation..
The condensed moisture turned into heavy snow and fell everywhere..
Only then did Bingryong Tyranus' nausea barely stop..
“Cough! Cough! Keck!”
“…….”
everyone was speechless.
Javiel was anxiously watching the outcome of the bet and was about to grab the sheath of his sword..
Yongyong, who was determined to protect Lloyd if the situation arises,.
Even the Centaur tribesmen who were anxious from afar.
I was surrounded by great shock and silence..
No one dared to open their mouth.
Bingryong’s nausea was so truly majestic that?
Or because the resulting heavy snowfall is so supernatural.?
It wasn't.
‘Is it possible for a human to upset a dragon with a punch??’
Thoughts that everyone thought of simultaneously in silence.
At the end of that thought, everyone's eyes focused on one place..
Lloyd was there clenching his fists..
‘done!’
He internally cheered..
The expectations I had.
As expected, it came back with the same result..
‘It worked as intended. After all, the praise options don't lie.’
Suddenly, a memory of receiving praise from the mermaid kingdom came to mind..
The option of praise I received at the time also came to mind..
‘It was an option that made any opponent vomit in an environment where the water depth was more than 50 centimeters..’
That was the solar plexus shot..
Thanks to this, I was able to propose a bold bet against Bingryong..
He was able to fool everyone, including Bingryong, the opponent of the bet, and even the onlookers..
‘Well, who would have expected this result?.’
A human's punch can cause a dragon to vomit..
If you didn't know about the tribute option?
It was a sound that made me snort myself..
‘But it worked anyway. This is how Yabawi is played..’
Lloyd smiled and raised his head..
I made eye contact with Bingryong Tyranus, who was looking down at me..
Bingryong’s eyes were full of absurdity..
“……What did you do?.”
“Well, I just did my best..”
“Do your best? I'm done?”
“yes.”
“Are you asking me to believe that now??”
“Well, actually, I don't have any other way to explain it..”
Lloyd had a slightly embarrassed smile on his face..
There was no way to praise Bingryong or explain options..
“I really just put my all into it. Could it be that my sincerity reached the will of heaven and caused a miracle?.”
“…….”
“Really.”
“really?”
“yes really.”
“sincerely?”
“Yep, seriously.”
“……Write it. I feel uncomfortable believing that, but the results are like this so I can't help but believe it..”
Bingryong’s eyes frowned as he looked down at Lloyd..
I wondered what all these strange things were happening..
Just one punch from a person like that makes my stomach turn..
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't understand it..
‘Strange. It's so strange. That guy didn't even put much mana into his punches. But it didn't feel like a huge shock..’
To be honest, I didn't even know I was being hit, I didn't feel anything..
It was like that right after I was hit in the solar plexus by that person..
I just didn't feel anything wrong or any signs..
So I decided to declare victory..
But at that moment, my stomach suddenly turned..
Without realizing it, I ended up spitting out everything inside me with my breath..
Bingryong, who had been thinking that far, shook his head inwardly..
‘It's definitely not a huge physical force..’
To turn your stomach upside down with physical force?
At the very least, the Archangel of Heaven or the King of Demon World must come..
Only at that point will you be able to turn your stomach when you hit your solar plexus..
‘Or our honey.’
He thought of his wife, Kalidis the Flame Dragon..
‘Anyway, that guy is really weird. There's definitely something I don't know.’
So, this result was achieved by punching without feeling any force..
Suddenly, I became curious about the secret to punching..
On the other hand, I thought I had no choice but to acknowledge that guy..
“……good night.”
Bingryong’s gaze looking down at Lloyd softened..
“Honestly, I don't know what kind of trick you were playing, but a bet is a bet anyway. The result turned my stomach, so you win this bet. Therefore, I will leave your winter heart intact..”
“Is that really true??”
“of course.”
A bitter smile appeared on Bingryong’s lips..
I really can't help this..
Because I made a bet.
Because a bet is a promise.
‘If you break a promise you made yourself, there is a risk of losing the power of your words..’
The great power of dragon words that creates magic with only words.
The power of words comes from actions that prove them..
Breaking promises causes you to lose trust in your words..
Words that lose trust lose their effectiveness..
In the end, even the power of words would disappear..
‘You can't lose your language like that..’
I never thought I would lose a bet like this..
Bingryong’s bitter smile deepened..
“Is it true? I'm afraid I might say two things with just one mouth?”
“Oh, that's…….”
“It has been done. Anyway, a bet is a bet, and since you won, don't let me steal Winter's heart. But is that okay??”
“yes?”
“It has the heart of winter. There will be side effects.”
“What are the side effects??”
Lloyd tilted his head..
A slight suspicion reared its head..
The unexpected side effects made me wonder if Bingryong was trying to take some kind of medicine(?)..
But Bingryong’s answer was only serious..
“Because it is a new object with such strong coldness, it would be difficult for the human body and mana heart to handle. It may not be noticeable right away, but over time, your entire body will freeze. Slowly, without even realizing it.”
“My body is freezing.?”
“okay.”
Bingryong nodded his huge head..
“Coldness will gradually form in the mana circulating throughout the body, and the coldness will settle throughout the organs. By the time you notice it through symptoms, it will have become an irreversible condition. As for human diseases, yes. Is it similar to cancer?.”
“omg.”
Lloyd swallowed dry saliva without realizing it..
‘That doesn't sound like a drug shot.?’
He asked Bingryong.
“So, is there any way to prevent those side effects??”
“Of course there is. Shall I tell you??”
“yep.”
“It's simple. All you need to do is absorb a new item with the same but opposite nature as the new item, Winter's Heart..”
“So, does that mean you neutralize the cold with heat??”
“That's it. Have you ever heard of summer tears??”
“yes.”
“You're smart..”
“Wow, thank you.”
“But why are you crying??”
“Do I look like I'm not going to cry?.”
Lloyd responded, holding back tears and snot..
“That summer's tears, isn't it one of the three sacred items of the Magentano royal family?.”
“yes.”
“Isn’t that why tears come out?.”
“why?”
“I can't think of a way to eat it..”
“…….”
“Ugh. Even after eating just one heart of winter, I was tired of making excuses and cleaning up after myself. What on earth should I offer and what kind of fawning should I do to avoid getting in trouble with the King's sister while eating one more? This isn't just about asking for a bite. Ugh, my personality is real. Ugh.”
“…….”
Bingryong was silent, and Lloyd truly lamented..
He could feel that Bingryong’s advice was not a lie..
There was no grand reason.
It was like an instinctive feeling..
Because I actually have the heart of winter.
So sometimes I became aware of the cold seeping into my mana..
Especially because I felt that way when I activated the time freeze this time..
I couldn't listen to Bingryong's warning in vain..
“By the way, great Tyrannus?”
“speak.”
“That's the side effect you mentioned. How long will it take??”
“How long will it take for you to feel the side effects??”
“yes.”
“As early as 5 years. 10 years at the latest. Is it okay??”
“Yes, that's it. That's enough.”
“That's enough, what does it mean??”
“Time to put out the fire that will fall on your feet. I'll eat the tears from the summer you told me about, but that's for later. I have more urgent things to do right now..”
“Hmm, there are more urgent matters than preventing the side effects of the Heart of Winter.?”
“yes.”
“I'm curious.”
“It's no big deal. I need to find some important materials..”
“important material?”
“yes.”
“If you were looking for important materials in a place like this, are you possibly trying to rebuild the Jewel of Truth??”
An unexpectedly sharp question came out of Bingryong’s mouth..
Lloyd was shocked and asked back..
“Yes, that's right. By any chance, do you know the jewel of truth??”
“Everyone knows.”
Bingryong grinned..
“Isn’t it a building of wisdom that provides the wisest answer to any question? It was also the most brilliant treasure of the mythical era. Although it was destroyed during my father's father's time. But, they're looking for materials to rebuild it.?”
“yes. So I'm really dying.”
“why?”
“Because it's so hard to find.”
I had a sincere and bitter smile on my face..
But a surprising answer came back from Bingryong..
“Hard to find? It can't possibly be like that..”
“yes?”
“I know where it is.”
“……Where are you?!”
Lloyd's eyes lit up..
He immediately grabbed hold of him and hung on to Bingryong’s hind claws with a shaking movement..
Bingryong responded as if it was no big deal..
“One is royal magenta. Another is the top of the snowy mountain near here. Two are glacier caves that are our home. The other one is quite far away. Anyway, I looted those two a while ago and brought them back..”
“I brought it to you.?”
“okay. It was perfect because I used it as a stone pillow..”
“…….”
“However, about 800 years ago, tastes in pillows changed toward softer pillows. It's been quite a while since I haven't used it. Should I give it to you if you need it??”
“Yeah, yep!”
I nodded at the speed of light..
Of course, in the process, I didn't forget to poke around at Bingryong's inner thoughts..
“Hey, thank you very much. Is there a reason you are helping me like this?…….”
“hmm?”
“I'm sure you didn't say that you needed money urgently.?”
“Tsk. Do you think I'm helping you in return?.”
“yes? no.”
“No, it's not like that.”
“…….”
“I'm just doing this out of curiosity. I was curious about the secret of how a punch that did not contain mana or super strength turned my insides out all at once. But if you die early from the side effects of the Winter Heart, wouldn't there be no way to satisfy your curiosity?.”
“……Ah, yes.”
“So I'm telling you not to die early..”
“Um, so you're trying to buy time for Tyrannus to satisfy his curiosity through me??”
“That's it.”
“…….”
“Anyway, even if you keep them alive, they will die of old age in less than 100 years. If I go then and retrieve the Heart of Winter, I will feel at ease too..”
“…….”
Lloyd was silent..
Somehow, Shunfeng said he would give it to me..
I thought there was nothing free in this world..
But now was not the time to choose between cold and hot food..
‘They say they will give you all the core materials for the jewel in one cue. Where is that?.’
Rather, I was in a position where I had to kneel down and receive it..
Later, Bingryong takes him to Curiosity Heaven or not..
By any chance, Bingryong’s experiment classroom will be opened or not..
First of all, the urgent priority was to build a jewel and prevent the restoration of damned fate..
“All right. thank you By the way.”
“something, again.”
“I think you said a little while ago that two of them are in a glacier cave, and the other one is quite far away..”
“Oh, you mean the last one? Please tell me that too?”
“yep. I already told you, please be generous.…….”
“patronage?”
Bingryong snorted..
When I looked at that guy, I thought he was a very shameless person..
But there was something strange about it..
I didn't find that person's shamelessness very unpleasant..
It was rather comical, but cute at the same time..
It was like watching a bean bug whining and trying to climb up..
Naturally, Bingryong’s voice towards Lloyd has become much more generous..
“Well, it's not difficult. Actually, my son, the Dragon King, was once obsessed with researching dimensional transfer magic..”
“Dimension… … Moving?”
“okay. Dimension shift. Anyway, at that time, he sent several items to another dimension for experiments. Random items, valuable or not. The last key material you are looking for was also sent to another dimension at that time..”
“omg.”
Lloyd was freaked out..
It's a different dimension.
How on earth do I find that?.
Suddenly my eyes became dark.
“So, what dimension was the last key material sent to??”
I asked with a helpless feeling..
Bingryong smiled and answered..
“seoul.”
