History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 345

345fury. Regret about the era of the spirit king (2)

“……Pow pow pow. It's snowing. Snow is falling from the sky. Fairies in heaven... … Just close your eyes... … I spray it by the bucketful… … I spray it without conscience... … shit.”

Huwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

A crazy wind blew.

Snowflakes flew in the wind..

But each snowflake was the size of a baseball..

It was a blizzard so cold it felt like my skin was going to be sore..

Lloyd just laughed while looking at that..

“Hehehe. Damn it.”

Originally, construction was going to start today..

I've finished stocking up on supplies..

Worker configuration has also been completed..

I was planning to make a big speech today and freeze time..

I wanted to build a historic railroad that would powerfully cross the Pantara Mountains..

‘The timing is wrong. Why is it that there's a snowstorm like this today?.’

Does it mean that the day I go is market day?.

Isn’t this the level of being too salty?.

Lloyd grumbled and looked up at the sky..

But I couldn't see the sky.

All I see is a hazy fog and a blizzard.

Even then, I couldn't see anything clearly because of the snowflakes fluttering around like the devil's dung powder..

‘I can't do construction today.’

No matter how much I freeze time and do something else.

Even if there are Bone Dragon Yongyong, Grand Master Javiel, bone troops, and veteran workers..

If the weather is like this, no construction can be done..

Because humans cannot defeat nature..

‘In times like this, if you overdo it and lose your strength, you will only end up losing a lot of money..’

Lloyd had a bitter taste in his mouth as he looked at the raging snowstorm..

Suddenly, I remembered the time I was in Korea..

At that time, I hated the rainy season the most in the world..

The reason was simple.

‘Because I couldn't make money.’

When the rainy season came and the weather got bad, there were many places to rest..

The number of cases going to the field has decreased accordingly..

The opportunity to receive daily wages was reduced..

‘That's what field work was like. If you look at just the short-term daily wages, it seemed like I was making a lot. But what about the long term? Because there were days when I had to take semi-forced rest for one reason or another, my overall average income was not as good as I thought..’

That's why I hated the rainy season.

I hated it when it rained or snowed heavily..

Of course, not all field personnel were like him..

‘These are men who are not particularly greedy for money. People who just earned a day's income and lived for a few days. Those guys didn't like working too hard. I actually liked it when there was a decent amount of rest in between..’

With that thought, Lloyd's eyes moved..

from heaven to earth.

To a camp lined with worker accommodations.

To the workers standing out in groups in the front yard..

Soon, the cheers of the workers could be heard again and again..

“It's snow, kuik.!”

“I’m excited, kkuik.!”

“Delicious, kkuik!”

The orc warriors looked very excited, like puppies on a snowy day, no, like wild boars from the Ural Mountains..

What makes me so excited even in the harsh cold wind?.

We took off our tops, flexed our muscles, and enjoyed a snowball fight..

“heavy snow! good night! Construction is coming! I won't do it, kkuik!”

“snowstorm! cold! Because it rubs on your muscles! Become disciplined, kkuik!”

“Big eyes! I feel sick! My stomach hurts after eating! Bulk up even to the intestines, kwiik!”

……Stop it, you crazy people..

Lloyd sighed..

Watching the cheering of the oaks, I once again understood the nervousness the building owner must have felt whenever work was stopped due to bad weather at a site in Korea..

‘The construction period is increasing. So much time wasted. I also lose money. Whoa.’

But I can't help it.

Because my position is different from theirs..

With that in mind, Lloyd bravely accepted the snowstorm..

Of course, most of the other workers were excited during this time..

The White Lancers, who were usually brave and solemn, were also like that..

“Because it's snowing so heavily, I can't do any work. It feels like I'm on vacation because I'm lounging around in my dorm all day..”

“I know. It snowed just like this during the Battle of Panos Plains..”

“Ah, it was thrilling back then. Frostbite patients are appearing one after another..”

“I know. Compared to back then, the snowstorm here is just a breeze, a breeze..”

“That is correct. I went out to get some fresh air earlier and it was just warm..”

“I know. Oh, I wish the breeze would just keep blowing like this, no more, no less. Let’s just roll around and rest for a while..”

“That's it.”

……It was like that..

He was the ultimate White Lancer who fought in all kinds of harsh environments..

With their overflowing courage and military spirit, they did not even flinch in this blizzard storm..

Elf archers, on the other hand, embraced the blizzard in another way..

“Ah, maybe it's this refreshing natural wind!”

“nature's grace!”

“refreshing gift!”

From the beginning, he was an elf who preferred to be in harmony with nature..

If the wind is hot and humid, it will be hot and humid..

If the wind is a cold blizzard, then it is just a cold blizzard.

Accepting, accepting, and adapting easily were the elves' specialty and strength..

Here too, their strengths shined through without fail..

On the other hand, dwarves have adapted to snowstorms in a unique way..

“Hey, old man Corgidus? Aren't you cold??”

“Are you cold like that??”

“yes? No, not at all. no feeling in the skin.”

“but. Hey, it's already been 80 years since you've been hammering by my side.?”

“Yes, old man.”

“Then it was time for my skin to lose feeling..”

“It seems so. I've been in front of the furnace for so long that my skin's senses have all died..”

“Hehehe. Congratulations! You too have become a true blacksmith..”

“This is all thanks to the elder’s teachings..”

……Likewise, dwarven blacksmiths had already lost their sense of skin temperature..

Thanks to this, I didn’t shiver at all even in the harsh snowstorm..

Rather, I secretly welcomed the unexpected holiday..

Of course, the fact that the members of the engineering corps from the Frontera territory did not feel the slightest impact from the bitter cold was the same..

“Huh, leader? This is the newly supplied winter innerwear. This is so hot?”

“yes?”

“yes. This is the real thing. Here, take a look at the cotton carefully stuffed into the quilt. Isn't it really good??”

“I know. So we should be thankful to Lloyd.”

“you're right. It's so nice that they ordered such warm clothes for individual engineers as a group and prepared them so meticulously... … I can't help but be moved every time this happens..”

“I agree. I still can’t forget what Lloyd said when he gave me this too..”

“What did Lloyd say??”

“After all, it’s a mess in winter! He said.”

“So, is this Bangsangnaepi’s name called Kkalkkali??”

“I think so.”

“Ha, in the winter, it’s always messy…….”

“Long live the giggles…….”

Soldiers of the Corps of Engineers were happy wearing warm, soft blankets..

As such, there are Orc warriors, White Lancers, Elf Archers, Dwarf Artisans, and ordinary Engineer Corps soldiers..

No one on site suffered from the blizzard.

I didn't feel any impact from the extreme cold..

Rather, I was happy to welcome the sudden holiday..

Thanks to this, Panthalassa, the spirit king of the Pantara Mountains who caused the blizzard, had to suffer a lot of heartache..

‘……What the hell are these guys??’

The Spirit King did not understand..

It was a blizzard caused by a truly bitter heart..

I'm going to freeze everyone to death..

Because you can't use physical force directly on them..

Even in this way, we will defeat those intruders..

He gathered all his strength and created a blizzard storm..

But the result is?

It wasn't so exciting.

Rather, I ended up making them happy(?)!

‘Why is no one cold? Why aren't you writhing in pain that makes you feel like you're freezing to death? why! Are you flirting while making a snowman?!’

Wahaha, cackle, squawk.

making a snowman.

having a snowball fight.

Enjoying snow sledding.

Spirit King Panthalassa was shocked to see everyone having fun with unseasonable winter sports..

Suddenly, a sense of self-destruction soared..

Of course, the Spirit King knew the cause of this situation(?).

‘My strength has weakened.’

Numerous humans and quasi-humans have already entered the Pantara Mountains..

As development progresses, it loses its original natural appearance..

As much as the lost nature.

It may be because his strength and authority have weakened..

‘but… … I can't leave like this.’

The Spirit King did not give up easily..

The more fun everyone in the worker accommodation camp has..

It became even more venomous and caused the wrath of Mother Nature..

Heedless of the joy of humans, orcs, elves, and dwarves, he created an even more intense snowstorm..

Thanks to this, everyone was happier with the longer holiday..

Only Lloyd's happiness index fell into the realm of the negative dimension..

“……shit. This weather in Amman is a bit strange. There's definitely something.”

A blizzard that has raged for six consecutive days.

Lloyd trembled at the fiercely blowing wind..

I didn't understand.

It was truly a blizzard that blew so hard..

It's like I'm going to freeze everyone here to death..

I will properly destroy the construction that is being carried out here..

It felt like a blizzard that had been deliberately brought about..

‘I thought it would end in about two or three days at most. no. No matter how much I look at this, it shows no sign of ending..’

Instead of ending the snowstorm, it was getting worse..

But if I just wait like this?

‘I'm going to be in trouble.’

There are over a thousand people gathered here..

Just because they're sitting around day after day.

We are in a situation where enormous amounts of food and supplies are being consumed continuously..

Moreover, as the snowstorm lasts longer, problems will arise as snow accumulates and freezes in various places..

‘Cleaning up the site will be that much more difficult. The same goes for preparing the foundation for the railroad tracks. The probability of an avalanche occurring also increases. Safety issues will also increase.’

No, even after making all preparations for construction in the first place,.

The construction itself has not started..

There has never been anything more frustrating than this.!

“This is definitely a problem. need to solve it.”

“But how are you going to stop the snowstorm?.”

Javiel asked.

Lloyd wrinkled his nose..

“I don't know either. By the way. Isn’t this snowstorm a little strange just looking at Amman??”

“That's strange?”

“Mana, can’t you feel it?.”

“Are you talking about a little bit of mana stuck in a blizzard?.”

“uh.”

Lloyd nodded..

It certainly was..

During this blizzard, I felt a bit of mana stuck in the harsh wind..

Of course the amount was very small.

I turned on the fan with strong wind and blew away about two bowls of ramen soup. It was just that much..

It was almost undetectable to anyone who was not skilled in the art of thinking..

“But it just feels right. Mana very slightly caught in the wind. What does that mean?.”

“The spirit must be in the wind..”

“I guess so.”

“But does that matter?.”

Javiel asked back.

“Whether it's the wind or a stream, it wouldn't be that special to have a little bit of the spirit of nature in it..”

“Of course, it wouldn't be anything special. In normal cases.”

“So does that mean it's different now?.”

“of course.”

Lloyd nodded..

“As it happens, a blizzard storm with a hint of spirit energy has been raging for over six days, interfering with the start of my construction..”

“…….”

“A spirit or something is interfering with my construction. Should I just leave it alone? That's nonsense. How can I leave this alone? Right now, my losses are getting worse in real time..”

“But Lloyd. The opponent is a spirit.”

“Yeah, but?”

“No matter how hard you try to stop it, it won't work out the way you want..”

“Well, I guess so..”

Lloyd quickly understood what Javiel meant..

Actually, it was a natural story..

The opponent was a spirit.

It was not a being with a living body..

In some ways, it was a pure spirit, almost like a ghost..

Of course, it was a spirit that couldn't be touched, hit, or caught..

“That's why I'm curious. As far as I know, it is common sense that humans and spirits cannot directly touch each other. Except for the spirit king of the plant that resembles wild ginseng..”

“know. That's common sense. The only exceptions are the magic of the Archmage or the Aura of the Sword Master..”

“However, I know that even the magic that the Archmage poured his whole body into and the Sword Master's Aura can only provide the same level of stimulation to the spirits as a pat..”

“Uh, I know that too. That's common sense. So, it is an established opinion in the world of magic that it is impossible to hit a spirit with any amount of physical force..”

“Yes, I know that too. But how did Lloyd…….”

“Are you planning on beating down the spirit that causes the blizzard??”

“yes.”

Javiel was genuinely curious..

I thought about it at the same time.

Wouldn't it be too much for Lloyd this time?.

Since the opponent is the opponent, wouldn't it be right to follow the laws of nature and wait for the snowstorm to stop?.

But the next moment.

As if laughing at their concerns.

Lloyd said with a rotten smile on his face..

“Everyone has thoughts. That's why I'm asking. Do you like snowflake shaved ice??”
