The best territory designer ever - Episode 308

308fury. Change the construction site (3)

“Good. Do you like it. Contract, let's make it.”

Wow!

The Mermaid Queen held out her hand..

We held hands and shook hands..

For a moment, I felt her overwhelming forearm strength, but.

I felt like my hand was being gently crushed, but.

Nevertheless, Lloyd was able to smile brightly..

‘Whoa, it's done. The contract was successful.’

I felt relieved inside..

The joy of concluding the contract welled up in my heart..

It wasn't too much of a stretch..

‘Because this was a bit breathtaking.’

The Mermaid Queen did bring tempting conditions..

Nevertheless, there were concerns about whether this contract would be properly concluded..

It was because of the greed that everyone has..

‘Because the Mermaid Queen could have been greedy to have the jewel all to herself. Because she couldn't say it wasn't a possibility..’

That's what greed is like..

No matter how much this side unearthed the gem,.

Even if it is thanks to this side that Bo-ok was able to see the light of day..

So, if you can use the gem without even thinking about it,.

‘At that point, greed rears its head. What I already have. I finally got to enjoy it. That kind of greed that just wants to have it all to myself.’

But if the mermaid queen is consumed by such greed,?

No matter how good the conditions are,.

I didn't think she would accept the deal..

But fortunately there were good results..

‘I'm glad the Mermaid Queen is a big person..’

She was a lot bigger than I thought..

Thanks to this, it seemed like the big picture of the contract conditions presented by this side was clearly seen and weighed..

It was truly the result I had ideally hoped for..

‘Only in this way can I find it worthwhile to work conscientiously..’

In fact, it wasn't that this side wasn't greedy either..

Of course I was greedy..

Just without informing the mermaid kingdom..

Should we build a jewel in Frontera territory?.

Will construction proceed regardless of whether the mermaid kingdom protests?.

Wouldn't that be easy?.

I was tempted too.

Honestly, it was a really sweet temptation..

‘Because it wouldn't be difficult to do that. Tauranga is the first key material that I threw into the mermaid kingdom. Well, all I have to do is ask Yongyong to bring it to me..’

Anyway, the mermaid kingdom still doesn’t know the relationship between Yongyong and this side..

So, even if you come and rob Tauranga,?

The mermaid kingdom would not have known that this party had taken care of it..

‘Besides, it wouldn't have been a problem to secretly build a jewel in the Frontera territory. Because she's a mermaid. It won't be easy to get on land. But how could they have known that a jewel was being built in the Prontera territory in the eastern inland, even on land?.’

So, if you make up your mind.

If you become honest about your greed.

Construction could have proceeded without their knowledge..

but I didn't do that.

The reason was simple.

I thought it was trash..

‘Well, what is the difference between a company or a construction company that makes a lot of money by running a subcontracting business in Korea?.’

The act of secretly building a jewel in the Frontera territory after receiving their cooperation by saying that they would build a jewel in the Mermaid Kingdom..

Even though the current conditions are tight and difficult, the construction company promised that they will entrust the project to you next time if you do a good job, but in reality, they switch to another company at a lower price for the next project, slashing the unit price..

The two didn't seem that different..

In the end, it felt like a similar thing..

No matter how much you usually keep your mouth shut,.

Even though he makes a lot of noise with his mouth movements,.

At least he didn't want to live like that, using the people who helped him and abandoning them like devoted friends..

I also thought that this was the Maginot Line of conscience that I had to protect..

That's why.

‘thank you For understanding my sincerity.’

Lloyd felt grateful to the Mermaid Queen..

Of course, I didn't feel sorry either..

Actually, the Hell Gate was opened because of you..

It wasn't intentional, but.

At the time, it was something I had no choice but to do because of the lava giants..

That's right, I don't want to die, so I'm hiding that fact to the end..

‘sorry. I will take full responsibility and close Hell Gate..’

Maybe if you activate the gem?

Wouldn't it be possible to find a way to persuade the King of Hell and close Hell Gate?.

Lloyd pushed forward with that expectation..

Now that we have obtained the Mermaid Queen's consent and contract,.

It was time to move without further delay..

“thank you Then, I will work hard to build Book, thinking of your sincerity in cooperating..”

He quickly greeted the queen and took Javiel down to the deep sea..

After a long time, I arrived at Book site..

I took the key material Tauranga that was thrown there..

I also took the statue that was placed there when the treasure site was first excavated..

In the process, I received help from mermaids..

Numerous mermaids flexed their muscles and carried Tauranga and the statue to land..

After that, things went even smoother..

After confirming that the mermaids returned to the sea.

I called Yongyong..

He carried Tauranga and the statue on his back..

After loading up all the key materials found earlier,.

I flew towards the Frontera territory in the southeast..

‘As expected, the ride comfort is that of a large sedan and the seating comfort of a large aircraft..’

Large enough to withstand long-distance, high-altitude flights!

Thanks to this, the flight was much more stable..

Half a day later, we arrived at Frontera territory..

“Hey, it's Bone Dragon.!”

A farmer's collective cry rang out from the Marez clearing..

I passed the shout and circled the sky above the territory..

And the center of the territory.

the top of a low hill.

Yongyong landed in front of the Prontera mansion located there..

Quwaang-!

The front of the mansion was already in chaos..

A bone dragon appeared out of nowhere.

I even landed in front of the manor house..

There was enough of a fuss going on..

But the uproar was not a wave of fear and chaos..

It was the opposite.

“It's a bone dragon! It's Bone Dragon!”

“Master Lloyd really came with Bone Dragon.!”

“Long live Master Lloyd!!”

“Long live His Majesty the King!”

The territory guards who arrived first cheered..

The quick-moving residents of the territory who started flocking to Yongyong as he circled above the territory were also there..

Although the Bone Dragon landed with a huge cloud of dust,.

Although it shows tremendous force radiating from its size,.

Nevertheless, there were very few Youngjimin who were afraid of the Bone Dragon..

Looking at that scene, Lloyd was able to realize.

‘The news from the royal capital arrived here first..’

Suddenly, I remembered the time when I stopped by the royal capital to look for Tauranga..

It is said that he saved the king's spirit there..

Let's hold a banquet.

Yongyong officially debuted(?).

Just as the king rules over the bone dragon.

It was revealed at an official event..

Thanks to this, I became a public servant of the royal family..

I was legally allowed to use it..

‘All that news has been delivered. But, ugh. What happened to the people of this territory? No matter how much news has been delivered in advance, isn't it human psychology to feel a little intimidated when faced with a large person?.’

I suddenly had that thought..

But the people here were not like that at all..

Of course, I could roughly guess the reason..

‘There are pudongi, bells, hamangi that can grow up to dozens of meters, and even bibeongi that can grow to about 100 meters. I've been around big kids too often..’

So I thought maybe he was used to this size(?).

A bitter smile came out..

That bitter smile became even deeper after Yongyong got off his back..

“hey. What happened. How on earth could you, who are just a human being, be able to control Bone Dragon??”

faster than anyone else.

Unlike others.

Solitas, the red dragon who came running with a frightened expression, was the first to greet us..

Without even having time to say hello, he asked me with a threatening look in his eyes..

Lloyd grinned and ended up laughing..

“Well, it just so happened that it happened that way. Could it be that the soul of the owner of this skeleton was saved from hell? Anyway, did you manage to escape??”

“of course. This body is a great dragon. There is nothing impossible for me.”

“Oh, is that right??”

“of course. Now that I've completely graduated from cutting wood, I'm moving on to cutting gravel..”

“oh.”

“After graduating from gravel, I plan to move on to metals, animal bones and horns, and then to jewelry..”

“Oh oh.”

“After that, you will be able to pile up a mountain of jewels and find a bride..”

“Oooh. You are great.”

“yes?”

“yes. Until then, you have to work hard to burn the sewage sludge..”

“…….”

“And since you are a member of a great clan, um, have you been feeling something strange lately??”

“It's a strange feeling?”

“For example, you can feel the energy of an incredibly powerful being nearby, or something like that..”

“I didn't really feel that way.”

“Oh, is that right??”

“of course. There is no way that I can feel the energy of a being nobler and greater than myself in such a miserable human territory..”

“Ah, yes. Well, I guess so..”

Lloyd smiled bitterly again..

I asked as if I was wondering just in case..

I wondered if this young dragon felt the presence of Dragon King Berkis..

After all, I thought that being a rookie is still a rookie..

Anyway, Solitas couldn't investigate this further..

To be precise, he was stopped by the manor's guards..

“Uh huh! How dare you! Is it easy to approach Master Lloyd on the topic of blacksmith's apprenticeship?!”

A shout came from the territory's senior knight and engineer captain, Lord Bayern..

Solitas flinched at that shout..

A look of anger appeared on the young dragon's face..

But it really only lasted a moment.

Perhaps because he remembered the details of his contract with us, he quickly adjusted his expression and returned to being an ordinary blacksmith apprentice..

Lord Bayern came to the place where Solitas retreated..

I bowed solemnly and politely in this direction..

“Long time no see, Master Lloyd..”

“okay. Long time no see, Lord Bayern. Nothing much has happened so far?”

“of course. There were no major problems with the maintenance of the water supply, apartments, and other facilities that Master Lloyd entrusted to us..”

“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”

passed by lord bayern.

Guards, engineers, bone soldiers, and residents of the territory flocked in..

Their welcome, respect, and envy poured in..

Deep inside, I had a strange feeling..

‘When I first came here, I received only looks of disdain and disgust..’

I remembered the day I entered Lloyd Frontera's body..

At that time, everyone's attitude towards this side was cold..

How chilly and cold it is.

Because of my status, I was treating this side outwardly, but.

A look of disdain was evident in everyone's expressions and eyes..

There was even Young Ji-min, who started a fight just by looking at this from afar and hurriedly took a different route..

‘But it's different now.’

The look of contempt changed to a look of respect..

The expression of disgust became a smile of welcome and envy..

The same was true for the count and his wife who hurriedly ran over while trimming the flower garden..

“It's Lloyd!”

“Oh no, it's okay?”

The count and his wife warmly embrace us as soon as we run in..

I was running so frantically.

The hands of the two people, out of breath, were covered in dirt from the flower garden that they had not yet been able to shake off..

I was grateful for that..

I was overwhelmed and grateful..

Please consider me your son.

For always welcoming me warmly.

For showing concern rather than hospitality and welcome.

So I was even more grateful..

“Let's see. Are you okay? huh?”

The countess's hand grasps my cheek..

Perhaps her eyes didn't even notice the Bone Dragon standing tall behind her..

No matter what huge and intimidating being there is in the world.

A person who only sees the son in front of him first.

I thought that person might be my mother..

Her eyes filled with concern were like that as she examined this face..

“I heard the news. How cold was it? huh? Why did you do such a dangerous thing?.”

“……Ah, hahaha. Could it be that the cold air leak incident also reached here??”

“of course. Do you know how surprised your mother and your father were??”

“Umm, sorry..”

“Rather than sorry, are you okay? I wasn't hurt anywhere?”

“Oh, that was a long time ago. I'm fine like this.”

“So what about the aftereffects? Have you gone to the doctor??”

“Ah, yes. I said it was okay.”

“So what about the trial? It wasn't scary?”

“ha ha ha…….”

“So why did you do something like that?.”

“Well, it just so happened that…….”

Lloyd stopped laughing awkwardly..

I guess that's the case too.

No matter how great this side is,.

Even if you come riding the enormous Bone Dragon.

In the end, I thought that I would only be seen as an eternal child in front of my mother..

So without even realizing it, the bridge of my nose became cold..

‘mom.’

Suddenly, my mother in Korea came to mind..

I thought that even if you were alive and saw me now, you would have asked me the same worried question with the same face as the Countess..

Maybe that was why.

Lloyd held the Countess's hands together..

Without realizing it, I looked back at the count with wide eyes..

The Count patted me on the shoulder with deep emotion in his eyes..

“That's great. Good job.”

“yes.”

Again, I start crying without knowing.

I secretly made a promise to myself.

I want to protect these people.

I want to be with these people forever.

So, I will continue to live harder in the future..

I made a promise, tried to swallow the tears in my eyes, and smiled brightly..

And one day, when I have a family, I finally say what I wanted to say..

“……I'm home.”
