History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 378
378fury. Hell Knight's Era of Passion (3)
“It's simple. You and me, let's just write a contract.”
fluttering!
- ……what?
Sir Georexius's eyes wavered..
Where the hell knight's eyes touched.
There was a piece of paper held out by Lloyd..
But it seemed like this wasn't an ordinary document..
- contract? this?
“uh. employment contract.”
fluttering!
Lloyd took out another employment contract..
He spread out side by side on the floor between himself and the Hell Knight..
“As you can see, the content is the same. You will keep one copy and I will keep one copy. Is this a precautionary measure to prevent one party from secretly changing the terms of the contract or playing with the contract later after the contract has been completed?.”
- But what about an employment contract?…….
“I don't know what it is?”
- No, I know. i get it. If I use this, will I be working with you??
“uh.”
- …….
“So you don’t like it??”
- …….
Lord Georexius was silent..
Lloyd clicked his tongue as if he felt sorry..
“Tsk tsk. You want to work while being treated properly. Now that I see it, it's unfair that I've been unable to do that until now. is not it?”
- That's right.
“therefore. I'm helping you with that..”
Crackling.
Lloyd tapped the contract on the floor with his palm..
He said while looking straight into the Hell Knight's eyes..
“I won't go into much detail. I don’t even use flowery language. Just see it for yourself. Look at the contents of the contract, and if you like it, sign it..”
- If you don't like it?
“Just tell me what part you don't like. You haven't signed the contract yet, right? So, the contents of the contract can be modified here and now, coordinated in advance. So that you and I can be satisfied with each other.”
- …….
Lord Georexius was silent..
I was surprised on the inside..
Is it possible to coordinate the contract details in advance?.
If there's something you don't like, you can voice your opinion..
He felt curious and looked at the contract..
I wanted to take a look at it first..
I read the contract carefully..
“hey. Read carefully. Don't just skim through it and say you've seen it all before signing. When you see guys like that, they always sign a contract and then say something else later.?”
- uh… … Um, got it..
Hell Knight's eyes became more meticulous as he looked at the employment contract..
Thanks to this, he was able to properly understand the contents of the contract..
The results were surprising.
‘What is this? Are you providing accommodation that you can use alone? Additionally, if you don't like the accommodation, you can request a change.?’
Sir Georexius's eyes wavered..
In hell, I couldn't even dream of accommodations..
All I could do was dig a grave and be buried in a suitable place where lava wouldn't flow..
‘Then the salary is?’
The amount of money in the human world was written down..
I didn't know what the unit was..
However, it was said that the salary was three times that of an ordinary engineer..
It was said that special allowances would be paid if a person made a contribution that would be helpful to the territory..
In addition, sometimes, when participating in construction projects promoted by the estate, there was a condition that additional overtime, all-night, and inclement weather allowances may be paid..
‘This is meticulous. furthermore… … If you get injured while on duty, your medical expenses will be fully covered.?’
In addition, numerous other benefits were guaranteed in the contract..
There was a start time and a finish time..
Plus, I was given a lot of freedom after work.!
That wasn't the only surprising thing..
- What is this?
Sir Georexius pointed at a spot on the contract with his index finger..
- There is a comment here that I don't understand. What does this mean, the contract can be renewed every 5 years??
“Oh, that.”
The corners of Lloyd's mouth twitched..
he said as if it were obvious.
“Literally. If you sign a contract today, it will be valid for the next 5 years..”
- 5As the years go by?
“I'm signing a new contract..”
- why?
“Because we're going to have to revise the terms of the contract..”
- Is it really going to get worse from here??
“That's up to you. It will get better in no time. What if you still don’t like it? You can do it without a contract..”
- Is that so?.
“uh.”
Lloyd nodded..
So, the contract given to Hell Knight now..
This was not a full-time employment contract..
‘of course. Right now, I'm just handing out a contract to win this guy's heart. The goal is to hear without lies what the King of Hell has in store. But it's not a good idea to suddenly hand out a full-time contract.?’
I guess it was like that..
Still, what kind of personality is Hell Knight?.
Are there any problems with your daily lifestyle habits?.
Will it cause trouble when taken to the territory?.
It was a situation where I didn't really know..
But I couldn't give him a full-time job..
“So, the first five years are also a time to get to know each other. Working with me may be a surprisingly good fit, or it may not be a good fit. is not it?”
- Hmm, I think it's true..
“yes?”
- Yes.
Hell Knight Lord Georexius also nodded his skull..
I was a little skeptical at first about the contract period..
After listening to Lloyd's words, I agreed..
On the other hand, I was also deeply moved..
So, it was my first time being treated like this..
‘If you tell them to, they will fight, kill, and die as they are told. He thought it was only natural to serve his entire life unconditionally..’
I thought life was like that.
But now that I see it, it doesn’t seem to be the case..
I didn't have to live like that..
You could be treated in proportion to the amount of sweat and blood you shed..
No, it was natural to be treated like that..
But until now, I had not received that treatment..
The moment my thoughts reached that point.
- ……good.
Sir Georexius nodded his skull..
- Contract, I will do it..
The Hell Knight got down on one knee in a reverential gesture..
I tried to give an example in a way that was familiar to me..
But that attempt(?) failed.
It was because of Lloyd’s foolish question..
“What are you doing?”
- uh?
“If you're going to sign a contract, you have to sign it. Why do you want to bow down?.”
- sign?
“You said it a while ago, right? I'm signing the contract.”
Lloyd smiled and held out a pen..
Hell Knight looked at it blankly..
received.
I held it awkwardly.
- If it's a sign, where is it done??
“Down here. I can't see the blank space?”
- see.
“sun.”
- how?
“write. your name.”
- like this?
“That's right. Well done. Then, the same goes for this contract..”
- Umm… … Writing is difficult because it’s been a while..
“are you okay. You're doing great. Have you used it all? Now, put the contracts side by side. I put it on both sides of the contract and wrote my name in big letters one more time. yes. like that.”
Ssuk, Sak!
With Lloyd's praise and encouragement, Hell Knight Sir Georexius's employment contract was signed..
“good. Once you've signed it, it's yours to keep. I have this. however… … hmm? Your name is a bit long.?”
- Geolexius. Is it difficult to sing because it is long??
“Hmm, it would be easier if I had a shortened name..”
- That nickname already exists. It's a name full of cruel, cold, and destructive feelings, just like me. Is this a name that even the devils of hell could not use without fear?.
“What?”
- Lexi.
“…….”
Isn't that the name that the local Satans couldn't use carelessly because they were afraid that if they called it wrong, their hands and feet would shrivel and be destroyed?.
While Lloyd thinks so.
Sir Hell Knight Georexius fell to his knees..
Before I could say anything, I reached out my hand this way..
I carefully wrapped my other hand with both hands and guided it..
He put it on his helmet..
- I have made this covenant; from this day and this hour onwards you are my lord..
Lexi said with sincerity..
Although a new contract must be signed after 5 years..
He decided to serve Lloyd as his lord until the end of his contract..
Because I signed a contract.
In any case, this contract would also be another form of loyalty oath..
I promised myself that I would be loyal and devoted to my bones for the next five years..
It was that moment.
A new message appeared before Lloyd's eyes..
Ding dong!
[Open favorability]
[Hell Knight Sir Georexius, commander of the 1st Legion of Hell, was impressed by your employment contract..]
[Hell Knight Lord Georexius was truly impressed by the reasonable working environment and fair working conditions he had encountered for the first time, and decided to follow you wholeheartedly..]
[Hellknight Lord Georexius has become your servant..]
[Accordingly, in the future, you will be able to increase your affinity with Sir Hell Knight Georexius and earn RP..]
[50 RP will be given as a special favorability opening bonus..]
[RP you currently own : 7,121]
[Hell Knight Sir Georexius' affinity for you has increased by +77..]
[Current relationship with Hellknight Lord Georexius : +37]
[Earned 847 RP by greatly improving relationships with characters..]
[RP you currently own : 7,968]
‘omg.’
A message suddenly appears before my eyes..
Lloyd swallowed his laughter..
The affinity with Hell Knight has been opened..
You can even earn RP by increasing your affinity..
‘Now, I'm starting to build a friendship with Hell Knight..’
Even thinking about it myself, it was absurd..
Still, I felt good..
The goal I aimed for today.
It was because I was confident that it was being achieved properly..
‘Because you are truly loyal to me now. At least you won't lie about the King of Hell. But first… … Well, let's start by clearing the air about my relationship with this guy..’
Lloyd looked down at the Hell Knight Lord Georexius..
Sir Georexius was very honest and loyal..
If we leave it like this?
He seemed ready to kiss the top of his foot..
‘Ugh, that kind of thing is burdensome..’
Lloyd said, shaking off the skin that was growing on his shoulder..
“hey? Hey? Sir Lexi?”
- Just give me orders, my lord..
“It's a bit burdensome for you to do that.?”
- It's burdensome?
Sir Geolexius looking up here.
He was tilting his skull with his eyes glowing..
Lloyd said with a wry smile..
“Well, you're not at the stage where you can show loyalty yet. Are we not in that relationship yet? You're still a contract worker..”
- yes?
“Just remember it. Loyalty starts with full-time employees. okay?”
- Full-time…….
“okay. Let’s do our best for the next five years and apply for the next employment contract as a full-time employee. Understand?”
- I understand, my lord..
Sir Georexius bowed his head..
The next employment contract is a full-time position..
I felt like those words were lit like a lamp that illuminates the path ahead..
Capturing that unfamiliar yet not bad feeling.
Hell Knight said.
- Now, I would like to say something to you, my lord..
“hmm. what?”
- This is the answer to what my lord asked me earlier..
“good. in as much detail as possible.”
- All right.
Sir Georexius bowed his head..
A rewarding smile appeared on Lloyd's lips..
At the same time, he also felt anxious, his heart pounding..
It was because of the worries that were slowly blooming..
‘King of Hell, what on earth are you planning?.’
The King of Hell's actions and plans were particularly difficult to predict..
That was difficult..
Because you need to know so you can deal with it.
Did you understand this person’s feelings?.
Sir Georexius spoke in a cautious manner..
- In order to give a detailed answer to your question, I think we must first reveal one of your memories. Do you, my lord, remember a man named Rupelan??
“hmm?”
Lloyd paused..
Rupelan?
who was that.
I searched through my memories for a moment..
After investing a little time, I was finally able to recall the name that had been buried in a corner of the warehouse in my memory..
“If you're Rupelan, isn't he a warlock? A long time ago, I mean, a long time ago, I was punished in the eastern mountains..”
Lloyd answered and glanced at Javiel..
Only then did Javiel make an expression like, “Ah.”.
Even though it was too late, he also seemed to remember the name Rupelan..
Lloyd said.
“I killed him together with Javiel in the Eastern Mountains before. It must have been a time when ice storage was being built in the orc village. At that time, several of our territory's engineers were captured by that warlock. So he went into the bastard's lair, rescued our soldiers, and killed the bastard. But why? No way, that guy Rupelan has something to do with what's going to happen from now on.?”
- yes. Yes, my lord..
Sir Georexius bowed his head even more deeply..
I asked in a more cautious voice..
- Sir, do you even remember the name Neumann??
“uh. of course.”
Lloyd responded immediately..
There was no need to search through memories this time..
“That guy was a traitor to our territory. Because he was colluding with an investment fraudster to steal information about our territory. Then, I got caught and got hit..”
Traitor Lord Neumann.
At one time, Frontera territory was a baronial territory..
A traitor who was Haviel's superior and the chief knight of the territory..
“That guy, after losing to me, he got crushed by Podong. I was exiled because I became a wreck with a broken body. Why is that guy’s story coming out here??”
Lloyd frowned..
something is strange.
It's not unusual.
Ruppelan and Lord Neumann.
Both were buried in memories from a long time ago..
Immediately after falling into this world.
At that time, not long after inhabiting Lloyd Frontera's body,.
These were the people who gave this side hardship in their own way..
These were names that were exorcised at the end and buried in the corner of my memory..
‘But why are they mentioned as a set now? These guys had nothing to do with each other..’
There's definitely something to this.
The moment Lloyd had that premonition.
Sir Geolexius' mouth opened..
- they…….
